A Pertinent Inquiry by an Old Citizen.

To the Editor of the PRESS:
Visitors at the City building have often
noticed that while the offices on the city

the summer, those on the county side are
kept open all day Saturday. The Saturday
haIf-holiday became an established 1nst1tu-
ton in Portland some time ago. Why is the
county behind the times?

learned with deep regret that new ele-
ment has risen in our country, and we
believe for the purpose of creating dis
cord in the ranks of our party, and for
the purpose of disrupting all labor or
carnations, its purpose being to array
one class Of citizens against another on
account of religious faith.
Resolved, That the Peoples party, as
its name implies, is the party Of the peo-
pie, and hence the enemy of oppression
and tyranny in every form. and we do
most emphaticaIly condemn such conduct
as unchristian, un-American, and is
totally opposed TO the spirit of the con-
stltution OF our country and we pledge
our best efforts to defeat the purpose of
such organizations and to protect as far
as we are able every individual of every
nationality, religious creed and political
belief in his sacred right to worship God
according to the dictations of his own
conscience.
Though the resolution does not name
the A. p. - it is undoubtedly aimed at
that organization as it was introduced by
a Catholic and signed by Patrick Cor
man Of Bourbon county, presumably an
other member Of the same church.
1t was moved that the motion be laid
on the table and the chairman said. "AII
those in favor of laying this resolution
on the table raise your hands"
The vote was taken by districts and
stood 21S for and 298 against. TIE mo-
ton to adopt the resolution was then
carried with few noes. Judge McDon-
aid danced around with delight while
Patrick German, his associate, waved
his hands and shouted

IN A PLACE OF HONOR.
The Old Liberty Bell Given a Special
Pavilion.


PHILADELPHIA, June 14-The old lib
erty bell has been taken down from the
place where it has been suspended in
Independence hall and placed in the
handsome square pavilion made of quar-
tered oak and glass.
1t Is situated now in the middle of the
east room, occupying seventy-two square
feet of floor space, and it is the most
striking of all the relics by reason of its
magnificent house. The case is made of
selected quartered white oak, is five feet
one inch square and ten feet high, with
a front of twelve feet in height On
each of the four sides is a large plate
glass, over four feet wide and seven feet
high in the center.
AT each corner is q bronze pillar sur
mounted by neat carved work, while over
each of the glass sides is an arch with
the names of the thirteen original states
carved, that of Pennsylvania being on a
keystone. The bell and it's columns rest
on a truck which fits snugly inside the
case and appears to be simply a floor.
The top of the truck is of polished
quartered oak and is four feet square.
Beneath are four-tired whseIers. The
supporters are on the north and south
sides, SO as to give clear view of the
bell from the entrace. On the north
sioa- the whole side of the case is made
to swing open and key to it it is held
by lie man in charge of the room. The
rail on that side is left unfastened. SO
that In case Of fire, it can be thrown out
quickly, the door opened and the truck
with the bell pulled out of the building.

unable to add it at the time he built
AS will be remembered, the late Allen
Sells asked for $4,000 to put up an au-

people as much if built Would it not
be better to raise $1,000 for this gallery
What would have been done with the

Hamilton hail. Representative hall
seats about the number that would be
accommodated in the gallery, and with
gallery, this hall would be adequate for
the needs OF Kansas conventions for
years to come. With the assistance
named, DR.. Hamilton will have a gallery
in his hall before another convention
meets. Let US encourage what enter
