On this day many young man pens an effuson to some adored one to whom he has not had the cour- age to divulge the tender feeling he has for her, and not infrequently the young maiden writes a missive to some young gallant from whom she would like to receive attentions, and eblieves that all that is necessary to bring him around is a little encour- agement, which she gives him by tax ing advantage of the liberty allowed her along that line on "All Fools Day"
 The day is no doubt being observed in Pine Bluff in the usual style. ana many persons have been, in one way or another, fooled by friend.

HARE DICTATES
MAYORS COURSE

ne had consented, the fine was fixed at
$40 and costs.
A News Democrat reporter inter-
viewed Attorney Piero as to the truth
of these stories that were current. Mr..
Piero said:
II went to the mayors Office with
Mr.. Isler, my client. I stated to the
mayor that IL q nominal fine was i'm
posed, Isler would plead guilty. The
mayor stated that Rev. Hare would not
file the affidavits before him unless he
agreed to give them more than a NOM
fnal fine. but that he would take them
to the probate court. He said that he
did not think that the Anti-Saloon
league would be satisfied with a fine of
less than $50. Attorney Joseph M. Blake
was also present as attorney for another
Of the accused.
BLAKE said that he had been over to
see Hare and that he thought he would
be willing to accept fine Of less than
$50. I suggested that Hare be sent Nor.
He came to the mayors office and we
discussed the matter. urged that the
fine imposed was excessive. After some
discussion, in which Hare took part.
the Anti-Saloon league man consented
to a reduction, and Mayor Robertson
then imposed fine of $40 and costs upon
each of the persons arraigned after they
had pleaded guilty"
The matter Is being generally dis
cussed on the streets, and one citizen
who was somewhat incensed, said that
'if Hare is to run the city he might as
well take charge of the mayors Office,
or else a mayor should be elected who
could have independence enough to run
hio own business without any outside
dictation. That Is what a mayor Is
elected for.'

ENDEAvORERS REVOLT.
Hamilton Young People Seek Freedom
From Their Pledge.

Hamilton. o., Feb. "A surprising re-
volt among young church workers Of
Hamilton against the authority and
principles of the Young Peoples Society
for Christian Endeavor has developed
In this city. 1t Is estimated that the
organization has lost or will lose be-
tween 500 and 600 members in Hamilton
alone, andthe opinion is expressed by
leading Protestant ministers here that
the disaffection Is becoming general
throughout the country. The Y. p. s.
c. e. of the First Reformed church,
numbering SO persons, held a meeting at
the church and voted to disassociate
itself from the general organization.
Preliminary steps were taken to this
end at previous meeting. 1t became
known today, also, that the Y. p. s. c.
e. of the First Presbyterian church and
the society of the Church of Christ
have recently taken the same action,
merely perpetuating themselves as in
dependent societies. Others plan to fol-
low in this course.
The cause of the disaffection is ex-
planned to be the pledge exacted by the
Y. p. s. c. E.. which binds members ito
strive to do the Lords work at all
times" This has been interpreted to
preclude dancing. cards and kindred
movements, and 1t is conceded by the
leading ministers and church workers
of the city to be too stringent to attract
the young, who may otherwise have a
healthy interest in church activity.

The story was current on the streets
Saturday that Mayor Robertson's course
in the saloon keepers cases that were
brought before him Friday evening, was
dictated by Hare, local superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon league. The story
was to the effect that Rev. Hare had
stated to the mayor that unless he
agreed to give each offender $50 and
costs that he would file his affidavits
in a higher court where they could get
q fine and workhouse sentence.
The mayor, 1t is said, instead of tell
ing Hare to file his affidavits. IL he de-
sired to, and that he, as mayor OF the
city, would do his duty to the city with
out any outside dictation, entered into
some such arrangement whereby the
Anti-Saloon league representative was
not only the sleuth who secured evil
dence against the saloon keepers, but
was the executive power as well, dictat-
ing the penalty to be attached in each
individual case.
This situation was revealed when Will
liam Isler appeared before Mayor Rob-
ertson to plead. He was willing to plead
guilty providing he should receive fair
treatment. He retained Attorney w. j..
Piero as his counsel, and, 1t Is said,
when the mayor reached his case he
was informed that he could enter plea
of guilty with the understanding that
he would pay fine of $50 and costs.
Thinking this exorbitant for first Of
fense, Attorney Piero entered vigorous
protest, when, 1t is said, the mayor said
he did not think the Anti-Saloon league
man would be satisfied with anything
else.
Rev. Hare was called up by phone,
and the matter being explained to him,
he went to the mayors office. and after

Mr.. w. F. Kicks, president of the Mas
sillon board of trade. and A. G. Brown
made addresses, and Mr.. Miller respond
ed in substance that the cause of one
of the two towns was q common cause
of the other.
Mr.. Bow preceded his address by an
original poem. He also stated that the
two cities were in unison and could al
most be considered as one place, and
that If any one had relation in one city
1t was taken for granted that other re-
lation lived in the other city. Mr.. Bows
speech was followed by toast of
BLESSED be the Tie That Binds; May It
Never be Broken"
Honorable w. A. Lynch made brief
address and in 1t stated that 1t was one
of his expectations that the road con-
Meeting the two cities would be the tie
that bound, and he hoped to see 1t one
day boulevard, 1875 feet wide, the
property owners to give the land. He
said it would increase the value of their
land, enfold.
He also requested that a committee
be appointed to investigate the matter,
and the laws governing such a measure.
He was followed by Mr.. Ricks, who
stated that the MassillOn board of trade
would do all in it's power towards such
a project. Mr.. E. A. Jones, of Mas
sillon, also made a very pleasing ad-
dress.
II. A. Howells was expected to be
present but he went to Columbus on an
unexpected business trip. The menu
was very appropriate, and the dining
room was handsomely decorated with
evergreens. potted plants and arranged
in the best possible style.

Affidavits Filed b Rev. Hare,

against Canton and Massillon saloon
keepers for violation of the Sunday
closing law, and Thursday afternoon
the papers relating to the local Of
tenders were placed in the hands of
Mayor Robertson. Mayor Wise, of
Massillon was also notified that evil
dence had been secured against dealers
in that city, and he was advised to
notify them to appear and confess,
otherwise the affidavits would be filed
against them.
The slot machine cases have not
materialized. 1t Is claimed that there
has been some delay in getting the affi-
davits filed, the spoilers being in Cleve-
land. Whether they will be dropped or
not can not be ascertained.
The cases were all commenced before
the mayor, action being brought under
the local ordinance instead of the state
law. This will in all probability save
the accused, If they are offenders, from
going to the workhouse.
Mayor Robertson, Friday, notified the
accused persons that the affidavits had
been filed. and asked them to come in
and answer to the charges preferred
against them.
Rev. Hare, local superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league, stated Friday
morning to a News Democrat reporter
that he had Thursday afternoon filed
affidavits with Mayor Robertson, charg-
