Splitting on the Sidewalks.

That splitting on the steps, the floor
or the sidewalks is a filthy habit, we
think no one will question or deny.
And we are of the opinion that all
thoughtful men will agree that it
should no longer be tolerated, both
for cleanly and sanitary reasons. Go
along some of the sidewalks in Audu-
bon, where men do congregate and
talk and you will find the walks almost
covered with tobacco juice.
When we came out of the Methodist
church on Sunday night at the close
of service the walk near by was in a
similar condition. We notice that
somebody has been using the new floor
in the post-office for spittoon. We
admit that if man chews tobacco 1T
may be necessary to spit. But it isn't
necessary to spit on the floor nor on
the sidewalks. And if he has proper
respect for himself and others he will
not do so. Now if anybody gets mad
and wants to swear or spit about this
article, let him write a piece in defense
of the habit and bring it in duly sign
ed with his name for publication. Or
if he should prefer to speak, we think
the ladies will be glad to hire a
hall and give him chance. To show
what is being done in other towns, we
copy the following from the Denison
Bulletin.
In Denison the passage OF the most
crude anti-spitting ordinance has re-
suited in clearing the wide cement
walks on the main streets of tobacco
spit, and there has not been an arrest
or an attempt to fine anybody to en-
force the ordinance. 1t has simply
served as reminder to everybody
that it is filthy, indecent habit, this
splitting wads of tobacco on the public
walk for ladies and gentlemen and
children to wallow through. Hardly
ANYBODY now tries the trick, and to-
bacco users find it easy to get into the
habit of walking to the curb and spit
ting in the gutters-just as easy as 1t
was for them to stand and squirt juice
all over the walks. From Denison's
experience with the anticipating ordi-
nance we would advise every town
and city in the land to make the best
one possible, whether it is enforced or
not.
In commenting on the above the
Sac City Sun says: The Bulletin is

right. Sac City has an anticipating
ordinance. There have been no arrests
since it was enacted, so far as the
knowledge of the public goes, but the
ordinance is respected. 1t has been
the means of cleaning up and keeping
clean some notably foul places on the
sidewalks and steps of business
houses. The ordinance was printed
and posted in places where men con-
gregate. If some one forgets himself,
there usually is another at hand to
remind him and the result is mark
ed Improvement. The ordinance,
technically considered, may be violat-
ed frequently, but the net results have
been decidedly advantageous and it
is causing the formation of better
habits on lines that make for the
betterment of the city both from sani-
tary and from an esthetic standpoint

their power TO continue until succeeded (super-
seded) by the convention or by any authority
under their appointment.
Resolved: That we will march under the direc-
ton and command of our Brigadier Generals to
the assistance of all any of the free, indepen-
dent states of America.
The celebrated Mecklenberg declaration can
never be forgotten. It's praises have been waited
every breeze;from the lips of orators and states
men, and by the pen of historians and deservedly
fills place in every patriotic heart and memory .
1t was the declaration of the militia of a single
county. Here, in the Lancaster Conventions we
have the action of the militia of an entire colony
Its voice is full and clear for absolute indepen-
dence as the immortal declaration itself Note
the words, '"The free independent states of Amer
lea"
While made on the same day with the declara-
ton itself, it was at such distance and the
methods of communication such, that there was
no possibility of the convention at Lancaster
knowing what was transpiring at Philadelphia
Does the history Of our country disclose any
body of men displaying higher order of pat
rotism, or who deserve greater homage from the
patriotic people of the present than the members
of that Convention?
Were they right or We're they wrong when they
said: 1t is now in your power to immortalze
your names by mlnSllnS your achievements with
the events of the year to the end of time. for
tablishing upon a lasting foundation the liberties
OF one quarter of the globe?

Obituary.

Clarence Merrill Owen, son of Mr..

Is, 1902 and departed this life Nov.1S,
1905 at 6:20 a. IN. at the home of his
parents, age years, 2 days
Clarence was child of more than
ordinary qualities. He had always
been healthy and lovable child,
making light and sunshine to the home
and always took the little disappoint-
ments of life with much patience and
often laughed his troubles away.
Sep. he was taken i'll with infantal
paralysis and by the help of medical
aid he grew better for time. On
Tuesday Nov. IA, his loved ones saw
he was again failing which he con-
tinued to do until God relieved him.
During his sickness loving hands
cared for him and administered to his
every want. He endured his pain with
patience and when those who loved
him saw that the end was near and
wept bitterly, he, though child plead
with them not to cry. Soon he passed
quietly and peacefully to God who
gave him.
He leaves o father, mother anC
brother Henry, besides numerous rel
atives to mourn his death. He has
not gone from us forever though hi
has left this world of care, he is now
safe in the arms of Jesus.

Forgot Standing Rule.

Attorney III. j. Chambers yesterday
forgot standing rule of the district
court and elevated his feet upon a
table while conducting his side of q
case before Judge Green. A motion
from the magistrate reminded him
that he was violating the prophecies
of the court room and he responded
by taking down his extremities. Sew
eral other lawyers present at the time,
among them George S. Wright, A.
w. Askwith and w. II. Killpack,
looked to see where their feet were To-
Gated, but no one else was found to
be transgressing judicial dignity.
1t was Judge Green who year ago
notified practitioners in his court that
nobody except attorneys from Miss
ouri would be accorded the privilege
of putting their feet on the table. So
far there have been no claimants for
the right to do so. Mr.. Chambers
yesterday entered a denial that he be-
longed to the ''show me' state and
said that his lapse was due to pure
forgetfulness. --Nonpareil.

What the Lancaster Convention? Some
two years since, while examining the Pennsyl-
vania Archives, found quite complete record
1.-the proceedings of delegate convention of
Pennsy vana Assocators held at Lancaster
Pa, July 4th, 1916, and upon examining the full
proceedings, was surprised that | had never
before heard Of such convention
| somewhat chagrined at my ignorance of
the history of my native state, but upon inquiry
of large number of parties, we'll versed in the
history of our country, some of them teachers of
history in public schools and lecturers in
teachers institutes, have not yet found one who
ever heard of the Lancaster Convention
This is my excuse for writing this article for
'The Old Continental" If anything has been
published on this subject since its appearance in
the Pennsylvania Archives, / have been unfortun-
ate in not seeing it.
At that time the Militia of Pennsylvania con-
sisted of 53 Battaions, organized in the counties
of Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Lancaster,
York, Cumberland, Berks, Northampton, Nor
cumberland, and Westmoreland. The highest
officer in rank was the Colonel of the battalion.
There no federal officers. There no CO.
lonial organization of the militia.
In the previous year, l775, through delegates
appointed for that purpose these battalions had
formed voluntary association under the name
OF the 'Pennsy lvania Associations and after "a
dopting certain articles of union, they appointed
the only officers, or agents to represent and
act for them, Committee of Advice
Early in l77G the Continental Congress made a
call upon the several colonies for troops to be
used in repeing British aggression. The quota
for Pennsylvania was $500. For some reason
which am unable to state, the Assembly of Penn
sylvania adjourned without organizing the militia
of the Province, and without making any provis-
ion for supplying the quota called for.
In this uncture of affairs, the Committee of Ad-
vice issued to the various battalions call for
a convention to consist of four delegates from
each battalion two of whom should be officers
and two private soldiers, to meet at Lancaster,
Pa. July A. 1776, to organize under the command
of two Brigadier Generals, not only to answer
the call of Congress for Penns ylvanias quota of
$500 troops for DEFENSE against British ag-
erosion, but to contend for PERMANENT
FREEDOM under government of their own
choosing.
But the call for this convention glows with such
fervid patriotism that it's own language best
speaks its own lofty aims and purposes.
After reciting that the ''sudden and unexpected
separation of the Assembly without making pro-
vision for answering the call of Congress for the
colony's quota of $500 troops it becomes the duty
of the Association to answer the call themselves,
and in that call they say in part: ''We need not

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April IA nervous ana
apprehensiye tone was reflected in the
movements of stocks throughout TO-
DAYS session. The grounds for the
suspicious of the market harbored IN
the speculative mind were not mani
fest from any event in the pubic
knowledge, but their influence upon
the trading was nevertheless effective,
Actual events were in favor of values
1T is the general supposition that an
extensive speculative deal in the
wheat market is being conducted on
parallel lines with large commitments
to the long side in the stock market
and there was some dread that II
would be necessary to throw over
stocks to protect the position In the
wheat market. The holding of Il
meeting of the Northern Securities
directors was another source of UNI
certainty The results of the meeting
proved to be enigmatical to the gem
eral surmises in the stock market.
The hardness of the relaxation of the
money market expected after the
April 1st settlement is cause OF dis
satisfaction to the speculative element
and led today to some offerings OF IL
aance bills in the foreign exchange
market which induced a sharp decline
IN that market, in spite of the Stiffen-
ing in the discount rate in London
The uncertain tone of the market was
indicated by its constant fluctuations,
the course of prices changing at least
once during every hour of the session.
The opening was decidedly strong and
there was another comprehensive rally
after the first decline. Later in the
day there were individual points OF
strength Illinois Central was the
conspicuous feature of the day and 1T

but the supposition was as lacking in
authority as the various others on the
same subject which have been set
afioat from time to time. The few

sstently than Illinois Central. The
