In this splendid organic law we have
carried out in perfect good faith every
pledge made by us to the people of

ton that takes the most advanced
ground Of any organic law in exis-
tence;which not only protects the right
to life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
lpiness Of the citizens, but constitu-
ton for the protection Of the property
of the people against the stealthy
hand of ingenious modern monopoly

ADJUSTMENTS.

Ben Jerome's Tuneful Airs in "The
Roval Chef" Are Again Enjoyed.
Frazee & Wade offered their clever
musical comedy, 1.-THE Royal Chef"
to patrons of the Odeon Wednesday
evening, and to the small audience
present the musical cocktail was not
disappointing. Ben Jerome,s tuneful
airs, which became popular upon the
initial presentation locally three sea-
sons ago, with Dave" Lewis in the
leading comedy role, were listened to
with interest. William j. Mccarthy,
who made hit last season with 'The
Red Feather" has supplanted Mr.. Lew
is, ard his work is very satisfactory.
From a musical standpoint The,
Royal Chef is a treat, especially the
work of the chorus. Singled out In
this particular feature the male sec
ton is most pleasing. The male mem
bers of the company also lead in the
solo parts, the feminine portion of the
cast not being strong in this direction.
Oscar Raglands "Rajah Bold Am I,
Herbert Carriers when Old Glory
Floats From Everywhere" and George
Porter Smiths can Admirable Admir-
AL" were among the pleasing musical
numbers, aside from all the CHOIR
uses.
Miss Gertrude Hutcheson. the prima
donna, who appeared as Princess Teto,
made a hit from an artistic stand
poin., but her voice is none too pleas
ing. Miss Hutcheson has one Of those
voices that show much culture, but not
much natural gift nlusically. Her good
technique was displayed in each num-
Der, especially in her In the Spring
time" sung in French, but there was
not much real music figured from
standpoint of voice. Miss Hutcheson
is a st. Louis girl, and made her pro-
fessional debut in this city with the
Beggar Prince Opera Company, in Fra
DiaVolo'' in 1898.
The entire company contributed to
the success of the production by the
amount of dash and ginger that was
put into every chorus and ensemble.

Instructive. Mrs. f. L. Meeker opened

Jury Reports on Jail.
The grand jury's report on the coun-
ty farm, and Jail, was very brief. With
reference to the county farm the
grand jury says it believes it is man
aged in careful and businessiike
manner. No recommendations with
reference to 1t were made.
Regarding the jail its report says It
was found in good condition, and that
the food was both clean and ample.
and there is no complaint to make.
With reference to the new jail an
mex for the detention of women and
juveniles the report says that the vari-
our rooms where persons are to be
confined should be provided with lava
tories and wash stands, and further
arrangements for better ventilation
should be made.

The fourth race of the Iowa State
league, is about over and
it is better than a 10 to 1
shot that Waterloo will win the pen
nant. In fact, the odds are even
greater than that for nothing short
of an eleventh hour disaster can now
give the honor to Burlington and
Egan Because of the fact that Wa
terloo is all but sure of the honor,
fans of this city, whose sympathy in
the race Is openly in favor of Water
loo.
There is chance. tho, that Bur
lington might still win, but 1t is 50
slight as to scarcely be reckoned more
than a possibility. Should Waterloo
win today's game with Burlington,
Egan can not beat Boyle for the pen
nant, even altho he should win all
three games from Marshalltown. He
has no postponed games with Ken
nedy's men to play off.
Should, however, Burlington beat
Waterloo today, there is chance for
Burlington to win, but to do so keo-
kuk, the tailenders, must take two
out OF the next three from Waterloo,
which is very unlikely, and Burling-
ton must win all of it's games from
Marshalltown.
Should Burlington win today. the
percentage of the two teams will be:
Dot
waterloo ..122 rs 46 1928
Burlington 4......... .126 n ~ 6ll
If Waterloo wins today, then the
percentages will be:
P. w. L. Pct
Waterloo ...........122 II 40 .o3l
Burlington ........ 1925 rs so SOB
With the result of today's game go
ing either way, if both teams win the
next series straight which is very
likely, Waterloo would of course win
the pennant Granting to Burlington
all the games possible, and conceding
that it wins today, and that 1t takes
three straight from Marshalltown, it's
percentage at the closing of the sea-
son will be:
! P. w. L. Pct.
Burlington ...129 80 40 .621
This is the maximum percentage 1t
Is possible for Burlington to reach.
Granting then that Burlington wins
today, Waterloo's percentage, should
it win two out Of the three with Keo-
kuk will be:
P. w. L. Pet.
waterloo ..........125 IS Al 1924
This would still leave Waterloo
ahead, but if Waterloo loses today and
Keokuk wins two out of the three,
Burlington will get the pennant
