Not Phi Chi "Fraters.D

The members of the Phi Chi fratern;ty
of the Georgetown Medical School were
much stirred up by the announcement last
week that a prominent member of hat
fraternity and a friend were taken into
custody by the police for being over
hilarious on the public highway. A meet
ting OF that organization was Immediately
called and the officers endeavored to as
certain the name of the guilty member.
Every enc of the young men denied having
been arrested or even intoxicated that
night
The young men, who had been taken Ia
the station, had given fictitious names
William Richardson and E. c. Clemmons.
They were liberated upon the payment by
their relatives of $40 in Uncle Sans legal
tender.
Clemmons claimed he was student at
the medical school, and said he was a
member of the Phi Chi Fraternity. He
displayed what appeared to be Phi Chi
badge.
He also possessed one of the George
town Medical School pins. and had his
medical books under mis- arm.

For a moment the surprised principal

Many of the glass testing tubes were

Ex-Post master Don VI. Dlckerson, of
Michigan, one of the most prominent
Democratic supporters of the admins
tration, is strenously opposed TO what
he considers the operation of sed.tiOn
law in the Philippines. His attention
was called to the cable report from Ma
Mia to the effect that the editors and
managers of Manila news paper have
been arrested on charge of publishing
a seditious attack on the civil govern
ment. The paper is charged IN the dis
patches with having accused the com
mission of constituting protectorate
oyer a set of men who should be ia Jail
or deported. 1t added; 1t is notorious
that much of the commission govern
ment is rotten and corrupt.

SALOONS OR NO SALOONS.
Monday, June 18th. the Day.

Monday, June 10th. the Day.
A petition was filed before County
Judge Kearby, Monday. with the re-
quired number of names signed. asking
that the County Judge, under the pro-
Visions of the State law, order an
election TO be held at the voting pre-
cincts in the town of Hickman, to
obtain the voice of the legal voters
within the corporate limits as to
whether spirituous, vinous or malt
liquors, shall be sold in said city or not.
The required number of voters have
sagDed the petition, and the county
Judge will order, or refuse to order, the
election, at the May term of his court.
The petition is signed by only 3 or 4
business men, and presumably all the
other business men are opposed to re-
opening saloons in Hickman. They
have tested il for number of years
without sa'oons, have had opportunity
to test the effect upon business and
trade, and a very large majority of them
do not want saloons. The temperance
people and the church people, at least
a large majority of them, are opposed TO
saloons, and are organizing to fight every
inch of ground to keep the saloons out.
if the election Is ordered.
Ii is asserted that number of the
petitioners are not legal voters. and that
if all such voters are stricken off. the
list will be reduced below the required
number. However, the anti-saloon
people may look and be prepared for a
warm and hot fight. for those favoring
saloons have been counting noses" a
long time and appear confident of their
strength. The Courier sees no necessity
for restoring saloons in Hickman. The
only argument in their favor is that of
revenue. and on this point the majority
Of business people and tax payers are
