SCHOOL ISSUE NOT DOMINANT
CaIifornians Don't Give a Rap
About 1t, Says Schmitz.

When asked as to the general tone
of the kilograms received from San
Francisco Mayor Schmitz said: 1.-THE
people of California don't give a rap
about the school question, but they are
opposed to the admission of japanese
coolies into this country" Members Of
the California delegation in congress
expressed ignorance of the nature of
the basis of settlement proposed to the
president. The widespread newspaper
comment was deprecated at the confer
ence, and the participants pledged
themselves anew to refrain from max
ing statements until some conclusion
has been reached.
1.-The people of California are unduIy
excited over misleading reports from
the east" said Representatives Hayes.
''They seem to believe that we are 60
ing to give everything away, when as a
matter of fact we will get what we are
contending for. Had the school authori-
ties of San Francisco believed that
| they would insult a foreign nation by
closing the schools to certain foreign
ers Of course they would not have
| done what they did The very best
that can be done will be done, I feel
sure. and there is no reason for our
people anticipating that we are going
/ to betray their interests"

MORE FOR RIVER?

Agrees to 100000 for the

BUT S4OO, 900 WAS EXPECTED
Secretary Boswell of Improvement AS
ISOLATION interviewed at
Washington.

w. A. Meese of Moline has received
Il telegram stating that the rivers AMI
harbors committee had reported favor
ably on the appropriation of $500, 000
for the Improvement of the upper Mis-.
sisSippi river IL has been conceded
hat 100000 would be secured, but
those interested had hardly dared to
hope for more. The Upper Mississippi
River Improvement association asked
for this amount, and some good, hard
work has been done by officers of the
association and others in securing such
favorable action from the committee.
Boswell Talks.
There is one way to solve the car
shortage problem" said Lewis B. Bos-
well of Quincy, to the Washington
Post the other day, 'and that is to
make the great waterways of this
country navigable at all times" Mr.
Boswell is secretary of the Upper Mis-
sissippi River Improvement associa-
ton. which is endeavoring to secure
from congress an annual appropriation
for the improvement of the Mississippi
from the mouth of the Missouri river
to Minneapolis. The project will cost
about $20.0O0.O0O, but it is contended
that the Improvements resulting will
be worth much more than that amount
every year to the people of the United
States.
I'VE have no fight on with the rail-
roads," continued Mr. Boswell 1--WE
know that if the Mississippi river is
made navigable from the falls to the
gulf it will not only provide means of
transportation for quantities of pro-
ducts that now never leave the farms,
but it will result in increased produc-
ton. and the railroads will have all
they can do, to handle shipments. If
the effect of these improvements will
reduce the cost of carriage only
cents a bushel on grain, it will save
the people S30.000,000 a year. The
railroads today cannot carry the pro-
ducts of this country. The Mississippi

the crown and capsheaf of country

understood throughout the age of chiy-

bound to keep his vow. Turkeys had
not yet come out of the western world

TACKS ON RIDER
Local Option Bill Changed Be.
fore Being introduced in
the Legislature.
DIVIDE SALOON RECEIPTS
Fourth to County Aimed to Prevent
Rural Districts from Voting the
Cities Dry.

Springfield, H., Jan. ga rider
providing that one-fourth of the re
ceipts from saloon licenses shall b;
paid to the county treasurer was tack
ed on to the local option bill yester
day by Senator Potter of Marion, anG
the measure thus amended was intro
duced into the senate without the
knowledge of the Anti-Saloon league.
Handicap for PrOhfbitionists.
The prohibition forces of the state
have hard work in getting their bills
started right in the legislature. Two
years ago Senator Anderson tackled q
referendum clause on the proposition
and introduced it prematurely. This
year it secures the addition of an un
sought revenue clause
Practically, with the exception OF
this clause, it is the bill which the
Anti-Saloon league would have intro
duced later, but the amendment is not
of the leagues choosing The intent
of the rider seems clearly to be to con,
fuse the issue, not especially in the
legislature but afterwards in The oper-
alton of the law, if it becomes a law.
The purpose of the amendment is. to
offer a valid argument to the country
districts not to vote the towns and
cities "dry" if the opportunity Should
be given by the enactment of a. law.
Rural Communities FadOr.
At present rural communities have
no financial reason for desiring the
continuance of saloons. Suth receipts
as are obtained from them go to the
city treasury This is assured to be
one of the reasons why rurip communi-
ties of the county frequently are will
ing to vote for prohibition when the
voters in the largest city iI4the county
are opposed to it. The amendment
would give the questionha financial
aspect for country districts as well as
the city Opponents of local option
believe that communities would not be
so ready to wipe out saloons if the
proposition could be made to touch
their pocketbooks. Henetthe endeav-
or to make it touch.
Provisions of HfII.
The scheme of local hption which
the prohibitionists havebin mind to
enact into law provides that one-fourth
of the voters of any political subdivis-
ion may secure the submission of the
liquor question by filingta petition GO
days before election. The question
may be submitted to a gecinct, ward
town, township. county.kor any sub
division.
The principal oppositiG to the meas
ure has been against the provision
which allows precinctseor wards or
other subdivisions to be linked togeth-
er in submission of The question, thus
making it possible fortwo dry wards
to vote wet one oiosed and against
the provision which slfows county to
vote it's towns "dry%

Dubuque has purchased from Duluth
George Mclaughlin, a fast infielder
who was among the best men in the

Dubuque at the present time has more
men signed for next years team than
any club in the league. Dubuque is in
communication with an Oklahoma
team of the South Central league for
fielder who last year batted over
300. If he comes to Dubuque, there
seems to be no reason whatever, why

the Peoria club owners know little. In
the bunch there are five pitchers,
among whom is Kuepper, twirler of
whom Donnelly expects great things
this season. Littlejohn is said to be a
phenomenal second baseman and Shea
is reputed to be backstop of great
ability.
