MAYOR WILL NOT
GIVE UP HIS HOBBY
Will Insist That Laws Be
Codified.
During the Remainder OF His Term
In Office He VIII Make a Fight
For His Plan.

Mayor Louis Scherff is not a crank
yet he seems to have his hobby. For
three years he has been striving to
induce the city fathers to appropriate
a small sum of money for the expense
Of providing book of rules to govern
the city. His idea, which is without
question an excellent one, is to sort
over the present city ordinances, make
few new ones and to publish them
in book form. A copy of the book
will then be placed in the hands Of
each city official.
The mayor does not claim that the
idea Is an original one. He derived
the scheme from the city officials OF
Toledo. That city has neatly bound
copy consisting of all the important
ordinances and laws pertaining in
any way to the city government. Every
law library is provided with copy
and the police officers are presented
with the revised issues and instructed
to study them diligently.
Mayor Scherff declares that tho
money expended for printing such a
book, would not by any means be
lost. He suggests that in revising the
city ordinances. certain ones be
changed In order to allow certain
cases TO be tried under the city
ordinance and thus avoid the custom
OF paying the fines into the county
or state treasury. He declares that
enough would be saved by the revision
of these ordinances to cover the eX'
pense of the proposed book.
Mayor \ScHdrff declafed Tuesday
that he Will push the matter during
the remainder of his term of office
II have by no means given UP my
hobby and ere my term of office ex
pires. / trust that ! will be able tC
convince the city council of its import
ance," stated the mayor.

Do you know the real for-sure

the date of the Merchants excursion
That's the answer. If our friend Mr..
Goldsmith of happy schoolday memory
had lived a little later, and passed
through this town on Merchants ex-
cursion day, there would have been
small doubt concerning where he re-
ceived the inspiration for his classic
poem.
Down town Tuesday the quiet was
so thick you could shovel IL into
heaps. The noise of an express wagon
rattllng along Center street resembled
the road of a metropolis, and the
progress of these lovely pieced to-
gethcr piles of junk popularity known
as the city street cars has about the
same effect on the audatory nerves
as a powder magazine explosion. Busy
sayest thoup Why in comparison,
Delaware is a veritable New York
City. When man met one OF his ac-
| quaintances or friends, question aris-
| ing Immediately in his mind Is, "what
the deuce is the matter with Smith
| Didn't known he was having any
| particular hard run of luck just now"
| In other words, the man who sticks
around home on that big day was an
object of suspicion and wonder among
his kind. He is looked upon as being
| in the grasp of fortunes left hand,
and open to the notes of coincidence
and the sympathetic hand clasp.

be found who could endure the
atmosphere of general depression

somewhat shady policy of resurrecting
dead and useless city directory to Sc
cure the desired results. What many
neople are now wondering is why the
management of the tanglefoot contest
went to the trouble and expense of
copyrighting the thing. Nobody with
a bit of originality in his makeup

When an institution of any kind

in the bunc's contest, it is quite natural
for the bulk of the people TO assume
there is something crooked a5out the
