Rival Justices of the Peace Offer Bar

Council Bluffs, Nov. IA keen ele-
ment of rivalry has broken out be-
tween the two Council Bluffs justices
Of the peace In relation to the matri-
monial business, and after vain en-
deavor to shake the neutrality of the
county clerk the rival justices have
resorted to card advertising, setting
forth the claimed advantages.
Justice H. H. Field. by virtue of his
convenient location close to the court
house, has been getting at least rs per
cent Of the justice weddings until a
week ago, when Justice E. B. Gardiner
installed in his court room private

the. fact on cards displayed at the
Office Of the countv clerk. This start

Justice Field into the advertising bust

The fees derived from justice court
weddings in Council Bluffs average
about $1,000 year and this money is
all gilt to the Justices, as 1t does not

AN EXCELLENT MOVE.
D. A. r. TO ADOPT RESOLUTION
WHICH WILL INSPIRE MORE
LOVE OF COUNTRY
Continental Congress at Last Meet
Ing Decided That All Should Stand
While the National Anthem, "star
spangIed Banner" Is Being Sung.

A resolution to inspire more love Of
the United States and which pro-
vides for all pupils in the public
schools and In fact all citizens of this
country standing while the national
anthem, "Star .Spangled Banner" is
being sung, is being considered by the
members OF Elizabeth Ross chapter,
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
and will doubtless be adopted in the
near future. At the last meeting of
the Continental. congress such. a reso-
luton was adopted. The. matter as
yet. has not been officially presented
to the local chapter of the D. A. R.
The resolution as passed is in sub
stance as follows: 8,
All American citizens, native born
and adopted, shall rise and remain
standing whenever the Star Spangled
Banner is sung, as mark Of respect
and love to our country"
Applies to All Americans.
The resolution, however, does not
apply merely to the school pupils, but
also to every American, native born
or adopted. The Daughters of the
American Revolution will seek to have
all people remain standing while the
national song is being sung.
The wisdom Of this resolution is ap.
parent and the action to be taken by
the Daughters of the Revolution is
truly commendable. In most coun-
tries where there is national song
the citizens, out Of respect and love
for their country, show some mark Of
respect to the song. When an Ameri.
can is travelling in a distant cline and
he hears the familiar air Of his nation.
