The Township Primary.

Rock Island, March 2.-Editor
Argus: Considerable space in your
paper last evening was devoted TO
the township primary on Feb. IS,
particularly the contest for super
visor. We of South Rock Island
township do not consider that any
primary, as far as South Island
township is concerned, has been
held, as evidenced by the vote of
our people at the polls. For the
first time in it's history South Rock
Island township is apparently with
out representative in the vote of
supervisors, although its territory
is at least so per cent larger than
Rock Island township. 1t has lost
all OF its political rights (tempor-
arily we hope), as the result of the
activities of the members of the
town board of Rock Island in con-
nection with the three Rock Island
supervisors. all of whom with the
exception of three were members
of the last board.
The writer is no exception to the
average person, whether living in
South Rock Island or Rock Island
township, when he objects to pay
ing excess taxes, which in the
minds of our various officials seems
TO be an Indifferent matter as to
when taxes are high enough. Does
the average voter give any thought
as to the fitness of the candidate
for any of our offices in regard to
their ability to keep our taxes
within reasonable bounds? Does
cyn off 90 III
ity know that the recent special
meeting of the board of supervis-
ors, called at the request Of the
Rock Island members, cost the
county at least $4,000? These same
meetings were not necessary, bus
mess OF which could have been
handled at the regular meetings,
no emergency having occurred
which would necessitate the ex-
pendlture of this sum. If you fol-
low the reports OF these meetings
you Will note that the legal advice
was not produced until after the
meetings were held, and then the
states attorney was quoted as say
ing that the annexation had al
ready taken place months ago, be-
fore these meetings were held.
Many of the propositions put uu
to the voters are similar to this
one. Some one is either deprived
of their rights or the people in gem
eral are soaked" for their taxes.
The easiest way, which is the way
adopted by all departments OF our
government, is not to make the
money already collected reach, but
to issue more bonds or some other
proposition which cannot be stop
ped in the courts in order to pro
vide political favors for friends.
Conditions at Springfield are a fair
sample and in the writer's opinion
our local politics are not much
better.
We, the people of South Rock Is
land township. have started a
movement which we hope will ex-
tend into the city. in the matter of
political housekeeping. The effect
of the slipshod election is to make
the people serve the ones elected
instead of the elected serving the
district
There are a great many people
in South Rock Island township
who are in hard circumstances, out
Of work, and are trying to pay for
their little homes.

Fashion, Ne1Us|
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

London, March 2.-London with
its spring rains makes an appro-
pirate setting for the latest nov
city in headgear-the rainbow hat
These daring combinations OF color
are produced in the coarser straws
such as Pedal and Yeida by stitch
ing circles of six definite colors Of
straw, one above the other in the
order Of the spectrum, red, orange,
yellow, green, blue and violet. This
combination is repeated again and
again all over the hat Sometimes
one color is especially emphasized
The only trimming is a binding or
bow and band of the dominating
color.
Miami, March 2.ANot the bluest
of blue law advocates could object
to the new bathing suit which, hav-
ing appeared, will work northward
with the summer. They are of
Bingham, sometimes checked but
often in a dark, plain shade of
green or tan. Moreover, they are
long sIeeved and high necked. The
prim white cuffs come down over
the wrists, and the prim white COL
lar is snug around the throat. Per-
haps the demure effect is a protest
against the very untrammeled one
piece Ginger seen at Deauville and
other points nearer home. On the
other hand. perhaps it is a pro-
test against disfiguring sunburn.
and unusual accessories have been
brought out by the vogue for
bright red. A Fifth avenue window
shows girdles of lacquered wood in
squares and of enameled disks, all
in an intense red and finished with
a long beaded red cord from which
hangs a tassel. The same window
has a number of little bright red
knitted purses, in silk and various
armlets and chains made of glow
ing crimson jewels. One of the
first Splashes of red to catch the
eye is knitted silk sports costume
The upper part is rather plain with
sleeves less than elbow length and
rounded neck. The remarkable
skirt is completely covered from
w diSS W hcl1 ny d iOA6 II niger VI
knitted silk cords.
Pasadena, Cal, March 1.-TWO
new types of hat have made their
appearance here. One is for after
noon wear; a small straw with
rolling brim. There is no trim
ming at all on the crown. The only
ornamentation is a row of small
flowers such as forget-me-nots or
vfolets, planted thickly around the
brim's edge, in such a way that
only the tops OF the flowers nod
above the brim. Another sort of
hat is sports wear. 1t is OF felt
and in two colors. A hat with an
orchid top, for instance is yellow
beneath. These wide brimmed, two
color felts are worn with white
sports suits embroidered in the two
tones Of the hat.

More Coal Being Handled At
Ravenna-More Workers
Go To Corbin

Lexington, KY, July l5-Con-
gestion at two eastern Kentucky
points on the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad has been relieved in
large measure, and the effects are
seen in the volume in which
freight is being received here, F.
B. Carr, general agents, said yes
terday.
At Corbin, a pivotal point for
three divisions, more than a score
of trains moved Wednesday and
an even greater number Thurs
day, according to reports, Mr..
Carr said. A number of men to
replace the strikers have relieved
the situation at Ravenna, accord
ing to reports.
More coal cars are being hand
led at Ravenna, and the transport
tation situation at the mines
should not grow worse il the pres
ent movement continues.
The C. & 0. here is able to
handle all of the freight re
ceived, Andrew Mitchell, Jr., gen.
eral agent and superintendent OF
terminals, said. Friday.
Six or eight freight cars were
derailed in tunnel ne. Memo,

causing a delay in traffic on the
Southern road of from four to six
hours. The damage was slight
and there were no casualties ac-
