of Davenport that sufficient sense OF
law observance has led a meeting of
citizens to endorse the COVER
nor's stand against prize fights and
the gathering Of tin horns and high
rollers from half dozen cities to wit
ness a mill for money between pro-
fessional pugilists. 1t is Davenports
path to redemption of respectable rep
utation and good character. 1t needs,
not only the expression of law abiding
sentiment, but the act Of law enforce
ment by local officers to re-establish
Davenport as city in the good opin-
ion that has been lost to it thru
comparatively small number of It's res
idents
| The state is unalterably in favor OF
law Enforcement 1t is not however,
approving of ordinary blackmail as
applied to the separating of saloon
keepers from their money by grafters
or that political blaclmail practised
! for the purpose of assassination Of Of
fetal character. Few, however eager
| to see law enforced willingly lend
| themselves to schemes to make profit
| for designing individuals or politicians
1t is plain that much of the uncom-
monty vociferous proclamation OIL
Davenport's iniquity is of the latter
| nature, plain because of the sources
of the vocferation. Men do not pluck
| figs Of thistles. nor is liquor law re-
| form and law enforcement Indigenous
| in Sioux City. Burlington, Dubuque
and Council Bluffs. The Sioux City
Journal is convinced that "the place
to begin is in Davenport. Thus the
| Nonpareil of Council Bluffs the gamb-

| vice for revenue as ants milk aphides.
SO too the Times journal, of the state
of Dubuque, and the newspapers OF
Burlington whence but recently the
news of riot over attempted liquor
law enforcement filled state newspa-
pers It is not long since Dubuque
was holding fight carnivals. The late
| files of Sioux City and Des Moines pa
pers will show how they feature prize
fights.
Whence all this sudden accumula-
! ton and outburst of intense anxiety
| over law enforcement that broke out
! in instantaneous unanimity from these
centers Of civilization where all men
/ walk wariy past dark alleys and give
shadows wide berth? Why this gath
| ering of sinners each with an armful

sinful and scarcely less repentant than
they?
| An old maxim advises setting a thief

choose Judges Davenport is sinful
and must suffer for her sins. Why,
however, should sinfulness and law
contemners take charge Of the pros
ecution The reason is not hidden.
Davenport deserves her shame and
her punishment. The law must be
obeyed If Davenport citizenship rises
to the occasion the minority that is
making her ashamed before the state
will be in hiding before Christmas. 1t is
one of the peculiar manifestations OF
crime that its devotees are always
ready to sacrifice each other to per-
sonal advantage Perhaps that is why
Sioux City has selected Davenport as
a sacrificial offering to the law.

More Money For Farmers.

(From the New York Evening WORLDLY
This year the crops are not as big
as usual There is considerable less
wheat and corn. The oats crop has
materially fallen off. The apple crop
is a third less than it was five years
ago. The hay crop is less. The pota-
to crop about holds it's own This
means that food will cost more for
the nenxt year. Altho the crops are
smaller, the farmer will be great
deal better off. The wheat crop, on
which depends the price of flour and
bread, is one-sixth less than last year,
but the price per bushel is over a dol
lar, instead Of 10 cents. That is, the
price increased so per cent while the
quantity diminished 16 per cent, 50
that the farmer is a third better Off
The corn crop is only 5 per cent less,
and the price is 40 per cent higher.
The oat crop is about quarter less,
but the price is almost double The
farmers of the United States will make
more money this year than ever before.

THERE HAVE BEEN BIGGER Jokes.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil has
come across a particularly good Joke
1t appears that some time ago two
Iowa youths evolved a scheme worthy OF
a conference of corporation politicians.
They bought "phony" jewelry from the
east and sent it in to Chicago mail
order houses with the statement that
they had bought it there and that II
was not what the house had recon-
mended it to be. The graft was sew
eral times successful but it ended IN
the arrest and conviction Of the boys.
The Nonpareil considers the incident a
joke on mail order houses and con-
Guides: ..The circumstance adds one
more to the already long list of jokes
on the fellow who buys his goods at
long range"
A number Of old fashioned people
will fail to see anything excruciat1ng-
Nv funny in the circumstance. There Is
little of the ludicrous in the start OF
two boys into crime. AS a shrewd
trick it ranks with the average effort
of the average swindler. AS a joke IL
is a complete failure except perhaps
to the readily aroused risibilities OF
the Nonparei.
The point of view is the thing. It's
all as it is looked at. Reform schools
penitentiaries, electric chairs, may all
have their hidden humor, but the gen
eral public long ago ceased to laugh
at them or the crime that people them

The Way the Car Proposed.
(Tit-Rits)


It is a pretty story which surrounds
the betrothal Of the present Car
Nicholas and the Czarina, for, altho
the great question had been planned
and thought out for them by their
respective parents, they were both de-
termined to have a say in the mat
ter.
That they were in love with each
other everyone knew, and between
themselves mutual understanding
had been arrived at in the summer
house of York cottage; but as Car
owitz the future Car had to make the
formal and old fashioned offer of his
hand.
"rhe Emperor, my father" he said,
addressing the blushing bride to be,
"has commanded me to make you the
offer of my hand and heart"
.My grandmother, the Queen" re-
piled the present Czarina, ''has COM
'manded me to accept the offer of your
hand"-she broke into ripping
laugh-"and your heart take of my
own free will"

haber -FOrs gerry May BE Added.

Charles Faulhaber, treasurer of The
Faulhaber Stable Company Of LA West Nine
tieth street, was arraigned before Magis-
trate Barlow in the Tombs police court yes
terday on a charge OF having overissued
SIS, 500 worth Of that corporations stock,
a violation Of Section 59I Of the Penal Code,
with a maximum penalty OF seven years
in the penitentiAry. He gave bail in the
sum of s.. 500 after having been in the Tombs
for half an hour.

told Magistrate Barlow that bail ought
TO be not less than IS 900 as the District
Attorneys ottioe intends TO make an addi-
tional charge OF forgery against Faulhaber
Tho Assistant District Attorney says
the Faulhaber corporation Is a $50 600 con-
Germ, with 500 shares. On January 2I
1904, IL issued to the defendant as treasurer
255 shares Of stock, which were subse-
quently superseded by three certificates
aggregating the same number OF shares
These certificates, Mr.. Krotel alleges, were
hypotheoated by Faulhaber with one V. E.
Prentice for a $500 personal loan. On a
subsequent date Faulhaber, Mr.. Krotel al
leges, went to Secretary James @. Gregg
and President John H. Servis Of the Faui-
haber company and told them he had lost
his three stock certificates and asked for
new ones. They declined to give them
until he had made affidavit to the loss, in
cluding a declaration that he had not hypo-
ecated the missing certificates for any loan,
thereby swearing, Mr.. Krotel declares, to a
falsehood. Faulhaber is As years old The

HEARINGS on CITY BILLS.
Gov. Hughes Listens TO Arguments For and
Against the Livingston street Bill.

ALBANY, March 27.-Gov. Hughes gave
hearings this afternoon on several New York
city bills. Alarge delegation from Brooklyn
came before him 10 urge favorable action
on the bill of Assemblyman c. F. Murphy,
providing that the whole expense of widen
ing Livingston street, Brooklyn, shall be
made a general charge upon the city Of
New York portion Of the cost of the
improvement, which was over $500 900, wa s
assessed upon a limited area Of property
claimed 20 have been more directly bene-
flied. The bill making the cost a general
city charge was vetoed by Mayor Mcclellan
and passed over the Mayors veto by the
Legislature.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Butt made
the only speech in opposition to the bill
before the Governof He declared that the
measure was an assault upon the Charter OF
Greater New York and that the remedy OF
those aggrieved lay in an application to the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment OF
New York city for a review Of the assess
ments made.
Those in favor Of the bill included large
delegation from the Brooklyn League and
numerous prominent taxpayers. Secretary
John c. Creighton Of the league introduced
the several speakers, who included former
Senator George w. Brush, Frank Harvey
Field. Congressman ]. J. Fitzgerald. H. B.
Kilmer, president Of the Central and Smith
Street Board Of Trade; William Berri Of
the Brooklyn STANDARD Union and H. p.
Gunnison OF the Brooklyn Eagle.
The arguments in favor Of Executive
approval were based on the contention
that the widening Of Livingston street
was general Improvement long desired
in order TO relieve traffic congestion on
Fulton street and that the sentiment OF the
people OF Brooklyn was almost unanimously
In favor Of the measure. Many inequalities
ing of the assessments and the speakers
agreed il home sentiment was to prevail
the enactment OF the measure could not
be regarded as a violation Of home rule, as
contended by Mayor Mcclellan.
Gov. Hughes was presented with picture
showing a long line Of cars stalled on Fulton
street. Il have a very clear mental picture
of traffic conditions there said the Gov
ernor.
Delegations from the Transit Reform
League of Brooklyn. the East Side Civic
Club of New York, the Citizens Central
Committee and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Connolly appeared before the Governor
TO favor the two McCarren bills which would
provide for a terminal at the New York
end of the Brooklyn Bridge. These bills
have been accepted by the New York city
authorities The Governor was urged to
sign them on the ground that the terminal
would relieve traffic congestion. There was
no appearance in opposition to the meas
ures, but briefs were filed against them by

FOR MORE MUNICIPAL JUDGES.
Hearing on the Bill Before the LegIslstive Q
Codes Committee.


ALBANY. March 27.-A joint hearing was
given this afternoon before the Senate and
Assembly Codes committees on Assembly
man Walls bill amending the municipal
court aot Of New York city 90 as to redistriot
Manhattan and increasing the number Of
Judges from fourteen to twenty-five. The
bill was drafted by the committee on legis-
lation Of the Citizens CE!ca. No one
appeared in opposition TO the bill. Among
Alton B. Parker, Austen G. Fox and Lewis
Delafield, representing the Bar Association
Of the city OF New York.
Judge Parker who is chairman of the
committee appointed by the Bar ASsoca-
ton to investigate the condition of muni-
cpal courts in New York city, said that his
committee had gone into the subject very
carefully, discussing it thoroughly, and had
found chat the courts were several thousand
cases behind on their calendars.
We found 1t to be true" he said, that
some Of the Judges, one in particular when
IL came to sitting in his own district, was
in the habit of holding court late in the
evening. In some Of the courts it now takes
one and half hours to call the eoalendar.
He said that the municipal court was
essentially the poor mau's court, and that
poor men cannot attend in court day after
day until their cases are called without oon-
siderable loss. Judge Parker cited a case
where a former Congressman had under
taken the conduct OF a case for a Door man
and that he was compelled 20 attend six
days In court before the cause was reached,
and that the amount involved was only $50.
The State, he continued, should afford
some relief. Nowhere else is relief needed
