The Crown is On.

On last Saturday King Ed. went
up to London and without false
move or a slip got under the British
crown just as the Archbishop let
go of the head piece. 1t looked
for a minute as though the pro-
ceedings would slip cog again
and the ceremony would be off
The King had recovered from
whatever was wrong with him
sufficiently so that he walked up to
the spot without stagger. But
the old Archbishop was pretty
wobbly and nearly tainted as he
came up to the thrown. He placed
the crown behind Eds. left ear
instead of on the brow, and the
monarch was shifty and by a neat
jerk of his head he brought it in
to proper position. Then he lifted
the old gentleman to his feet and
had him carried to a side room to
revive.

Mayors Proclamation.

On Thursday of last week Mayor
Krieg issued his proclamation to
close saloons on Saturday, that
being election day for the street
paving issue. OF course this
brought storm Of protest from
saloon men, and laws and lawyers
were consulted freely, and by FRI
day morning the mayor looked
up all the decisions he could find.
He discovered that the courts were
holding in favor of the saloons
remaining open on any election
day except the two prescribed by
law, namely the "First Monday of
April, and the "First Tuesday
after the First Monday of Novem-
ber." The mayor then withdrew
his proclamation, not wishing to
involve the town in losing fight.
The law governing this matter
was passed in 1864, and reads
that no intoxicants shall be sold
on "THE DAY OF ANY ELECTION, "
which law would have covered
special elections, but in 1884 the
laws of Ohio were codIfyed, and
that section in condensing it was
made to read, "ANY ELECTION DAY.
The twisting of those words made
all the difference in the world in
the holdings Of courts. con the
day CT any election" would cover
any election, special or regular,
but son any election day" only
covers regular elections, as an
"election day" is not such unless
created by law, and under the law
there are but two election days,
April and November.
The mayor was right under the
original statute, but the changing
of the wording in the codification,
entirely changed the statute mean
ing, and the courts can but sup.
port the codifcation.
