The editor of the COURIER has
received notification that he has
been selected as one Of the
managers and promoters Of the
Chautauqua assembly to be held
at Salisbury from August 10 to
Is. We don't know a thing
about managing" Chautau-
qua, but we realize that our long
suit is ''promoting." In fact,
all country editors are promoters
by nature as we'll flom necessity.
That's one way they have of
making their living. An editor
promotes and the other fellow
gets the money, and then usually
forgets all about the editor
until his services are needed to
promote something else. A
Chautauqua, however, is really
a good thing for an editor and
other people. too. 1t is elevating
mentally and morally and :gives
relief from the dull monotony of
every day business cares. We
shall take great pleasure tin at
tending the Chautanqua at Sails
bury and hope that Keytesville
will be largely represented on
that occasion. 1t will do US all
good by removing the cobwebs

$4,000 would be several thous-

amount. Plan No. 3 at SIG,
$50 was the nearest thing within
reach, and consists of three
spans, each 165 feet long, anc
on steel tubular piers instead o.

LICK Tisdale. Keytesville's
city marshal, is thoroughly dis
gusted and is thinking seriously
OF rendering his resignation. He
says he has made a number of
arrests lately and in many cases
the offenders have been permit.
ted to go scott free without even
the formality of trial, and vet
they have been caught red
handed in fracturing one or
more of the city ordinances.
Such procedure places the
marshal in very unenviable
position, for he incurs the en-.
nifty of the party arrested, and
the maledictions of the public
are heaped upon him because
he does not make other arrests
for similar offenses. This con-
dItlon of affairs is deploraole in
the extreme and should call for
a full investigation by the city
council. Here is case in point:
Marshal Tisdale arrested Robt,
Hawkins, Nathaniel johnson,
Hazel Hunter and Bill Lewis, all
negro youths. Tuesday for play
ing ball on the streets. He took
them before l.. w. Hansman.
who Is president Of the board of
aldermen, and is ex. off clio NAV.
or In the absence of Mayor H.
j. West. Hansman ordered that
all four of the darkies be releas-
ed, claiming he was not aware
of any law under which the de.
fendants were amenable to the
city lOt p-~ying bal. On the
streets. Whether he did not know
or regarded the matter as being
too trivial for the dignity of his
official position we can not say.
The law prohibiting the playing
of ball On the streets is found in
section II of ordinance XVII and
reads, in part, as follows:
Every person who shall en-.
gage in any game of ball in any
public street or alley within the
city limits shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and
punished by a fine not exceed.
ing $40 for every such offense."
Playing ball on the public
streets is nuisance that ought
}to be abated, and more particu-
larly when there is law against
such practice.
Men who take the oath of of.
flee ought to discharge their
duty by enforcing the laws to
the very best of their ability.
| Officers who are not willing to
do that should lose no time in
rendering their resignation.
| Lax enforcement of laws make
lax morals and lax morals make
undesirable citizens.

Dunno, who Is seeking reelection on
the democratic ticket, and Postmaster
Fred a. Busse, republican candidate,
are both predicting their election next
Tuesday by large pluralities.

All she indications are most favor
able for the election Of Fred a.
Busse as mayor and all the candi-
dates on the republican ticket.
The republican organization has
made a clean campaign, appealing
to the people on local issues and the
signs all point to an endorsement
by the voters Of that policy.
I estimate the mayoralty vote win
be divided as follows: Busse u.s.
900, Dunno 100000, socialists and
prohibitionists 10000. This Will.
give Busse a plurality Of 81, 900
over Dunno, which is certainly
most conservative.

from $4,000 to 81. 900 majority We
have been gaining rapidly in the

because of the enemies he has
