MEET
in CHICAGO TO
PLAN 1 DRIVE


Officials of the Lutheran hospi-
tai announced today tina. a call has
been issued to the 100 pastors Of
the Lutheran Illinois conference TO
meet in Chicago, September Sth to
complete the plans for raising
$3.50 900 during the week Of OCT. 10
% for the Lutheran hospit4 of
Moline, and the Augustana hospital
Of Chicago. The joint Committee
representing both institutions con-
sidered the plan Of calling In all
the pastors and voted in favor OF
it, but then the advisability was
laid before the executive board OF
the conference at special session
of that body recently and the board
concurred and joined in issuing the
call.
The coming meeting is of inter-
est locally, for it means that the
officials of the conference are de-
termined to do all in their power
to make the appeal for the hos
pitfalls a success. The Illinois con-
ference has often joined in cam
paigns for funds carried on by the
Augustana synod, but the campaign
this fall is the first ever attempted
by the conference for its own insti-
tutions, and the result Of the first
conference appeal will be watched
with interest not only within the
conference but throughout the
whole synod.
At the meeting of the executive
board Of the conference, the presi.
dent, Peter Peterson, took an &C
tive part I'M the discussion and in
! sisted that the plans made by thu
joint committee Of the two hospi
tails be discussed and endorsed BY
all the pastors Of the conference
and that nothing be left undone t.
insure the success of the under
i taking.
It will be recalled that announce
ment was made sometime ago tina
all the funds subscribed in the Rocl
Island district would go to the 10
cal hospital and 80 percent of tn
general campaign fund in the 9th
er six districts outside of the cit.
of Chicago would also come to tn
Lutheran hospital. Officials of tn
local hospital believe that the sub
scription of the churches of Roc
Island district, together with tn
share from the general campaigl
will amount to at least $4,000.

Citizens Urged to Organize.
Rock Island, Aug. 1S.-Editor
Argus: 1t is very evident from
what one reads, sees and hears that
the city Of Rock Island must be
at a low ebb morally when murder
ers go unapprehended, vice RAM
pant, gambling open and booze
flowing. II this is the case then
the job Of cleaning is squarely up
to our county and city officials. But
from the information that one
CLEANS from The Argus this clean
ing will not be forthcoming, at least
not until next spring, when the peo-
pie will be compelled to do the
cleaning. 1t, certainly causes one
to laugh to read statements by Of
ficials relative to the suppression
of gambling and organized vice In
the city. Hard gambling such as
dice must stop, but poker, fan tan.
ETC., can continue because such
nice games of chance are on a PAL
with ball and jacks and mumbley-
pegs.
The prostitutes were to be driven
off the streets, but were to be per-
mitted to ply their traffic in houses
on some of the principal thorough
fares Of the city. If such state
ments as these are to be passed un-
!. noticed it certainly doesn't speak
we'll for the decent people of the
city. What must be done is for the
decent element of the city to Or
ganize a party of their own at the
coming city election, free from any
political faction or boss, and nomi-
nate men who are honest and have
shown courage in the past, and put
them in office. The people can't ex-
pect any relief from those NOW in
control of our city and county gov
ernments.. The Argus deserves the
thanks of every decent citizen in
its insistence on common decency
in county and municipal govern.

American Legion
Convention Opens

New Orleans, La, Oct. 16 (By the
Associated Press) The American
Legion opened its national convention
here today, within a rife shot of the
historic square where Andrew Jack
son mustered a sharpshooting army
Of frontiersmen and Gulf pirates 10
fight British veterans Of the Napol-
comic wars, somewhat more than a
century ago.
New Orleans, graceful product of
three c:vilizations-Spanish. French
and American-made it's guests well
come, and in the narrow streets and
wrought iron balconies of the old
French quarter, there was more than
hintoc the French towns with which
the veterans of the A. f. F. grew ia
rliliar overseas.
The Legion "buddies" are bit
roomier around the waist, some Of
them, than they were four years ago,
when the fighting in the Argonne was
drawing to close, and they are dis
':nctly more comfortable today than
they were in those war-harassed
french towns, where quarters were
scarce and even stables were at a
premium. But they wer ethe same
old A. E. F. gang-the same hurrah
end noise, the same spirit Of "Lets
go" pervaded their 1922 assemblage.
1t was not hard to imagine that
the old buildings which had seen An
drew Jackson's troops march out to
defeat crack British army two
weeks after peace had been declared
! in the war of 1912, the buildings
which had seen veterans Of the Mex
,ican war and wearers Of the Confed-
crate gray and OF the Union blue
swinging along to martial nusic-it
was not hard to imagine these old
buildings open their eyes bit be-
hind their dusty pealousies as the
veterans Of the latest war gathered
in reunion, and to declare the policies
pof their organization.
The Legion viii be the guest OF
New Orleans for five days. During
that time, it is expected it will once
more declare itself with some explicit
ress in regard to the bonus bill; that
it will demand the removal of eBriga-
dier General G. E. Sawyer, President
Harding's physician, form the posi-
tion Of supervisor Of the hpspitahxs-
tion of wounded veterans, that It wilt
reaffirm its position as to making
American citizens out of immigrants

citizenship.
