had grudgingly joined Lucia on
her Mexican trip, but after viewing
the "pasear" through the street to
the cemeteries of Mexico City, on
the second day Of November, real
lied that all selfish discomfort was
more than repaid. From the Indian
booths, piled high with wreaths of
many colored flowers and grasses;
from the street venders, offering
their sugar tombstones and candy
skeletons; !, from the wooden crosses
ornamerfted with tinsel and gay
paper, and the candles throwing a
feeble light on every mound, it was
evident that in Mexico the "dfa de
los muertos" was no mean festival.
AMONG the kneeling figures was
. woman OF great beauty. Her hair,
unkhotted ii her Vigil and fallen be-
low her waist, was OF deep, blue
black. She held me spellbound
while Lucia tried in vain to show
me a wonderful wreath ON a near

that all his troubles dropped on
with shrug of his shoulders.
Whenever my brother was in Me-
rida be always went into Henri's
little bhop to be shaved. This gay
young Frenchman. however, had
two things which grieved him. One
was his love for Dolores, almost
hopeless because Of her ambitious
father. About this Henri said
nothing. but Of his other grief he
talked freely.
"He was positive there was a
mine Of precious opals near by. and
all he lacked to go in search of

Every citizen ought to be in position to
vote intelligently on the proposed new Illinois
constitution in December The only way you
can do this is by reading the convention draft
and deciding for yourself whether it is what
you want to live under as a citizen of the COM
monwealth Of Illinois. The Argus wouldn't
tell you that the proposed constitu-
tion is what you ought to have because it real
ICES that it is far from perfect. Therefore The
Argus Is making arrangements to have the
constitution taken up section by section and
discussed for your benefit by an authority
in whom it believes you will have the fullest
confidence. ,

Will City Attorney John X. Scott tell the
people of Rock Island that there is no legal
process whereby he can stop the circulation in
the streets Of Looney's indecent publication? :?
Is there any reason why Mr.. Scott can't see his
way clear to ut least advise, as the legal de-
fender of the city's best interests, such action
as part of the general campaign Of the united
citizenship to make old Rock Island once more
safe and decent? The Argus always has had

Rock Island has suffered 20 years because
Of the Shiny influence of John Looney as ex-
erted through his underworld scavenger news
paper. 1t has been permitted to thrive because
the people Of the community have been moral
towards. Looney thought he had them SO CON-
pletely cowed that he could persuade them
to elect him county Judge That was the in
suit that proved the last straw for Looney in
this community.
