MOVE FOR WEDNESDAY
EVENING STORE CLOSING
Clerks Decline to Act, But Retail Mer-
chants May-Firns Generally
Favorable.

Closing of clothing and shoe stores
the city Wednesday evenings is be-
ing agitated. and it seems likely that
Rock Island will soon follow the ex-
ample of Davenport in this respect
At the meeting OF the Retail Clerks
association last evening the matter
was presented. various proprietors
having preached the subject to their
employees with a view of bringing it
about through the instrumentality of
the clerks. II was stated that every
firm in the city except one is anxious
for Wednesday evening closing. the
general claim being that the business
is so light that it does not pay 10 re
main open. The clerks, however, hest
tated to act. and after discussing the
question fully they decided the Retail
Merchants association is in a better
position to bring about the change. and
consequently put il up 10 the latter
organization.

Possibly the government believes
that with the publication Of the report
of the Attorney General regarding the
League of Municipalities the final
point has been reached on this ques
ltion Perhaps it irnagines that the
municipalities will now desist from
their intention to form League and
that the project will come to naught
as Mr., Post believed from the begin
ming.
But any such hopes and illusions Of
the government are premature and
|unwarranted, as it may And out with
unlocked for rapidity.
1t is entertaining more than illu
sions; it is pinning its faith on insen
safe deliriums impossible of realiza
ton.
The League Of Municipalities has
an ample road in order to compel the
government to speak clearly for once,
laying aside the dexterities of Mr..
Post and cutting loose from the clou-
dy opinions of the Oracle.
It should ask Immediately for the
registering of he society.
The Secretary of Porto Rico is obli
ged to register it, 1t is not within the
province Of this functionary to decide
whether or not the League is sub
versive association. He has only TO
register it as requested by the organi
zers; and if it should transpire that
the Lea que is an illegal society, after
it has been registered, he can denoun-
ce before the Attorney General, Or the
Courts of Justice, the crime perpetra
ted by the municipalities, which have
believed in the necessity of unitipg
and asseciating themselves for the
purpose of mutual anu collective de-
fence. r
AS stated before, there is no othe
course open to the Secretary than to
register the League of municipalities
if such request be made. He has no
option in the matter. Afterwards he
can denounce before the courts the
illegal action Of this meritorious assoc
iation.
Should the Secretary refuse to dis
charge his duty by failing to register
the League, it can ask for a a~sn@S-
ms compel the lebellious function
ary to do his duty.
But in that event. Mr. Post would
be obliged to discard his mask and
openly confess k;aAelf an adversary
Of the League, for his resources az
scene-shifter and prestidigitator would
rrove of no yalue.
Mr.. Post has placed himself in an
anomalous position; he is between two
fires; because now he must either
disobey the Oracle or ignore the law,
for even the Oracle in his hazy, unin
telligible, cabalistic style, has said
that the laws, above all the municipal
laws, must be exactly and literally
interpreted; and such being the case,
the Secretary has no option but to
comply with the law which compels
him to register every association which
solicits registration.
