Some of the Davenport saloonkeep-
ers who have been disregarding May
or Becker's midnight closing order
received something of shock Tues
day evening, when the policemen on
the various beats served notice on
them that if they did not close here
after in conformity with the order,
they might look for trouble. The of
Tending saloonkeepers were told in
detail so it is understood, that mid
night closing did not mean pulling
down the blinds, locking the front
door and leaving the rear door open.
They were told to close up tight or
take the consequences.

constitution Of 1851.

constitution OF 1851.
In Great Britain the people live UP
to modern present-day ideas, because
it is not hampered by written con-
stitution charged with legislation, but
in this country we are compelled to
live up to written constitutions formed
by persons living at a remote age and
under conditions totally unlike the
present.
Men will not submit to wear the
fashion clothing of q remote genera
ton, but they will and do submit to
be governed by the ideas of remote
generation. The business of the COM
munity is not conducted according to
the ideas and methods In vogue in
1851, but its government is. Until the
people rise in their might and, by
change of the organic law, make the
legislature free to adopt any method
in accord with present ideas, there
will be no relief.
Heretofore the ideas of the farmers
that the system of 1916 could be en-
forced and the ideas of the classes who
could use it to avoid taxation have
prevailed These two classes have con-
stituted the majority of the commun-
ity or been able to control the major
ity by specious, but fallacious, argu-
ments, and so we have been held in
thralldom to Alfred Kelleys ideas.
The political economists who do the
thinking on matters of taxation have
uniformly condemned the present sys-
TEN, but they are not as yet listened
to or needed by the general public.
The people have begun to think on the
subject of taxation, but have not ex-
pressed themselves. They have been
content so far to live according to the
legacy OF 1851, but there are now
hopes that they will form ideas of
their own and try to carry them into
execution.

national game had taken such a
hold upon me that it was simply
uncomfortable to my parents. I was
always playing or watching a game
Of baseball. T began to be late at
meals; was away from home when
there was work to be done, and
finally, as a punishment, was for
hidden to go to the ball grounds for
one week. Now, as luck would
have it, thesmost interesting game
of the season was to come off that
week. When learned this leased
and l wheedled; I quoted every
thing from the Bible to the histor-
ical novels; followed mama about,
telling of the boy in t'The Court Of
Boyville,'' who nad been forbid
den to go to the circus, and how
the stern aunt finally relented.
[ offered to buy her off by stay
ing at home for three weeks if she
would let me go this once. But
mama was adamant. tho begged
to the last minute. When I saw the
players go by our house on the way
to the grounds my heart sank to
the lowest depths Of despair, and
was only partially lifted when they
came back, and heard that our
side had won.

merriment, or otherwise? I refer

And it was the grind organ man
that did it all.
We had spent very pleasant
hour watching the monkeys antics
as it went from house to house and
were only too sorry to see it depart.
Suddenly a bright scheme evolved
itself in my mind. Why couldn't
be a grind-organ man, with a mon
key, and go from door to door,
earning pennies? So I told my
cousin of my plans which were
namely-to get an old box, put
stick in it on mai. SO that it would
turn round and dress my cousin up
as a monkey. My cousin, who al
ways followed in my lead, altho a.
year my senior, agreed, and our
scheme was easily accomplished
without our parents consent or
knowledge.
