Correspondence solicited from STsry township In Rock Island county. Thursday, September 16, 1909. Out upon the wine rooms, the curse of any community. The New York Tribune says Battle Harbor is appropriately named for Antic explorers.- The sheriff has again started a cru sade against gamblers and confidence nu-n. Let the move be sincere and per sistent. The farther west President Taft gets tho inore difficult will he find the task of attempting to vindicate Senator Nels Aldrich. President Taft is on a tariff tour, but the government pays the tariff on the tour, which, by the way, is all right in this instance. The strains of travel will jut tax .the energies of President Taft half as : much as his attempt, to explain away tbe tariff legislation....: There is nothing too good for the president of the United States. Every body hopes the best in the laud will be tbe portion of Tourist Taft. The wives of the two explorer-3. Cook and Peary, have taken up the rapier in behalf of their respective husband achievements. Some efforts should be made to keep them apart. Tastor Russell of Brooklyn says the iuilleuium will arrive in 2914. With the price of food stuffs steadily in creasing, it is going to cost some of us quite an account to hang around until that time. : The Cook-Peary controversy lias stirred up no end of commotion hi scientific circles, and now the scien tists are to decide who is the whole show. Harry Thaw has had so much experience, with experts that he might be In position to point out who is the real article. Sonic schoolboys of Denver are go ing to appeal to the courts for a "vin dication of their natural and inalien able right to be enrolled iu the ancient and honorable fraternity of Alpha Sigma Sigma."" There ought to be a spanking machine connected with the Denver courts. Now, it is being said that Miss Kl lv ing is trifling with 'Hie duke of Ab ruzsji; and the fate of tin duke rests In her lipids as the royal family have withdrawn their objections. Perha.is alter all this talk Miss Klkins has more common American sen so than the paragraphers have given her credit for having. , Thanks to the "cooperation of larg interests, there has. been no Harriman panic." The market in this case was "supported" in a good cause. But the lesson of the exhibition of financial power to sustain prices will not bo lost. If it is possible to manipulate the market for one purpose, it is equal ly possible to manipulate it for an other. When President Taft t rave's through the west he will be warmly welcomed everywhere. The west al ways honors the chief magistrate. But he must not mistake the plaudits for endorsement of the. iniquitious Aldrich tariff or his signature thereto. Mr. Taft will find, although tbe loj.il west applauds the president of the United States, it does not approve of tbe increase tariff taxation of the west for the profit of the eastern mills. A Chicago woman is sueing a Mich igan attorney, who is said to be a bachelor and a woman hater, for $5U. 000 for breach of promise. She is for tified with 450 love letters, a diamond ring and other proof. . No matter how ' much of a woman hater a man may profess himself to be he generally has a Koft spot in his nature somewhere, and it generally crops out after an en deavor to squirm out of clandestine romance .and then the woman has a chance to make a fool out of him bv dragging him Into the courts and puV lishing his ardent' professions of love to tbe world.

It mav ho that sh? fears that some more perfect female form divine and more daring saubretta , may supplant her. At all events, her , practice so differs from the preaching lhat one cannot but wonder whether there is-not some sinister motive in it. This is what she said: "Young women, unless they are possessed of the greatest 'talent. sdiould let the stage alone because those, without great talent will gt along, if they do get along at all. only at the expense of their inno- cence and their good names. "Why, there are five theatres in xw York, controlled, indeed owned. by inilliouaiirs, and' these men have -ill the privileges of the stage- during re hearsals and performances. Their ob ject when they prowl about behind the scenes is obvious A girl with a pretty face is s-oon at their mercy." Whiskers and ('erms. According to press dispatches city of Allegheny is deodorizing the and disinfecting tho beards of all its sages. The object is to kill germs, especially those of scarlet fever. When the health department an nounced that Allegheny whiskers must be cleansed the smooth shaven men looked on thhe order as a joke. Th wearers of beards regarded it as an in sult "it is neither an insult nor a joke." says Police Superintendent Mclaugh lin. "Lsut summer a great many scar let fever cases were discovered in families m which one or more persons wore long beards. "A solution of bichloride of mercury destroys all germs which may be lurk ing in those whiskers; so the health inspectors are supplying the bearded centiuengfwith bottles of the prepara tion and requesting them to use it. In a few days the inspectors will tail again to see that their orders are com plied wih." The solution is prepared by Ci'y Bacteriologist R. G. Burns. Though it is highly perfumed, the bearded citi zens do not take kindly to its use, and a number tay llatly that they will defy the health department . This Election as a Precedent. The election which takes place on the 25th of this month, for judge of t!i supreme court, will be of great import ance as a precedent. There is- a vilal principle involved ?n this election. If the voters of this district decide in favor of keeping our state supreme court on a bi-partisan basis, that de cision will have much weight iu elec tions in other supreme court districts in this state. Such a decision by this district would have a wholesome influence throughout the entire "state and in other states as well. It is to be hoped sincerely, that for the credit of this district, the voters will decide in favor of keeping the su preme court bi-partisan. For, let professional politicians say what th.y may to the contrary, the idea of keeping a political balance iu our supreme court Is a -orrect idea. To approve of the proposition i: make our supreme court entirely, or overwhelmingly, republican, would !: a great mistake from all ioints of view For this to be done would be mo it regrettable. To till our supreme court with judg -s from one party alone, might easilv work grave complications in our state; while unwise and unfair' action wouH be sure to create distrust of the court politic-ally by a large proiortion of the people tn Illinois. And in the end, such an unwise pot icy would be sure to hurt the political party which made the court to cons Qverwncimiugiy or judges of one party. AU citizens of the district who op pose this unwise and unfair policy of making the court consist of judgs from one party, should not only vot for George A. Cook: they should assist his candidacy in every other way pos lible. - FREE TRADE MAKES ENGLAND SHIPBUILDER OF THE WORLD (Continued from Tage One.) is it not good for a housebuilder also to be able to buy his materials at the lowest possible figure? Not only is the shipbuilding industry flourishing in Great Britain because of the ad vantage of cheap raw materials, but likewise is machinery manufactures flourishing, the cotton manufacturing industry, the woolen manufacturing in dustry, the boot and shoe manufactur ing industry, the machinery manufac turing industry, and likewise tool mak ing, furniture manufactures, paper making, glove 'making, hat making, and the manufacture of hosiery. Incrrancn Own Tonnngr. Not only does cheap shipbuilding materials enable Great Britain to build more ships than all the rest of the world, but each year increase its sbi;-j building tonnage. Not only does cheap material enable the United Kingdom to build its own ships, but. to build j ships for the high protection countries. This greater than - all - thc-rest-of-th-?- world capacity would not only be a great advantage to Great Britain :n time of war, but gives 'employment to tnousands of workmen ' in time c-f r . . ,. Between 1900 and 1906 there wens launched, from British' shipbuilding yards vessels with au aggregate ton nage of 6.725.r,80. of which f,.341.774 .represented steam tonnage.

President Orlott. of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dryilock com pany explained the reason of Briti-.li supremacy in shipbuilding a few years aga when testifying before the raited States commission of mercantile in:;-' inc. as follows: "There is a difference of about 10 per cent (in the cost of shipbuilding) on account of the tariff. Because ev. erything in the way of matt-rial enter ing into the consti uc: ion of a ship !s lighly protected here. It is not only the steel that forms the hollow of the vessel thar is affected in price-; it is everv conceivable item that goes into ship.- Other American shipbuilders mad." similar statements. In view of such testimony, by what explanation can protectionists account for Great Brit ain s extraordinary lead m shipbuild ing, other than .that of free raw m i- terials? And if free raw materials en able Great Britain to build more ships than the combined shipyards of all th: i est of. the world, is it not reasonab'e to anticipate that a revision downward on shipbuilding materials would be a God-send to the paralyzed shipbuilding industry of the I'nited States?

Cobblers slept with Itatf mended boots in their laps; Italian women slept at their fruit slautis with sleeping babies at their tivasts; horses trotted conscientiously along iu front of sleeping drivers. Iu the department store where An- loua Whcaloii worked the clay had been dilliitiit. especially behind the siulTy corner w bei e she measured out riblious And. oh. what a godsend tbe loud sounding beil at ii bad been! Most of the girls in the store were city bred. u:d they accepted the conditions of August pbilosepbimlly. but Antona When ion h.-.d come from a fresh little couutrv town in the west, and as she leaned from her ttoarding bouse win dow-the third tloor hall room, back a few minutes before going down to dinner it seemed Jlier that she was locked in a place, of torment from which no esrao'e was possiliie. They dined at 7 in Mrs. l'.rown's boarding house. In the half bout that Antona had been home she bad taken a sponge bath, brushed her silky, llax eu hair and changed her black alpaca dress for a siinplci wlii'e miisHii. As j she leaned out of the window from the open space beside- the storage house ill the rear she could see the dust carts roll down the streets. Tbe whisk ing of their big rol:ry hrooms remind" ed the country bred girl of large tur key gobblers sweeping the earth with disdainful, proud wings. The open space faced the west. and. resting her littie oval cheeks in her hands. Antona could see that, the sun was doing its best to set with some sort of rightful beauty, even in this homely downtown section. Where the epiict colored cud of evening smiles" Antona was speaking to herself in a reprehensible fashion that was grow ing on her. trying to recall some verses which Francis I.ogan had cpioted to her one sunset time down on the Bat tery. Site had fanc ied she could re member them, they were so simple and lovely. Just tflen Mrs. llrewu's crac ked din ner bell rang. Across the long, narrow table Fran cis Logan glanced at Antona with something like a lump born of a big, protective instinct rising in his throat. Kvcry vestige of fresh country rose bloom had fled from t lie girl's sweet face, and in the intervals when she fancied she was not observed the young fellow's alert eye noticed that itinck lashes rested heavily against her cheek as would those of one who Is overweary. Antona's weariness struck home per haps because cf contrast. Francis him self was more than usually li.cppy that night. The big importing bouse where he was employed had that very morning sent a note to his desk Informing him that bis salary bad been Increased some $10 n month.

"We'll go out to Kiverside drive ind sit there for awhile till the night gets cooler; then we'll go to some big uptown restaurant and order some ice old chicken salad.' "Oh." broke in Antona Iu economic defense, "I'd just as lief go to a drug store and have? some liice soda." "Now. don't you bother about the expense, little one. said Francis gav- ly. "As I said.
