manifest continuance Of liquidation in

PRODUCTION and Senator Quigley drew
attention to it a few weeks ago by
his declaration that, should the bill
pass, Iowa would became the equal of
Russia in the tyranny possibl i the
part of the governor. @
The removal bill is the th : of the
group of measures introduce - j, Sem
ator Cosson TO bring abou' : en-
forcement of the laws rela' - to the
sale of liquor and those a. hibiting
houses of i'll repute and E ambling
houses. In many countie Z e dlsre-
gard of these laws is adn >, d by To-
cal authorities. and thes, 3 lis define
the duties of the sheriff =. ID county
attorney. then give the uts.rict court
the power TO remove officials of county
or city who neglect those duties. Ihe
bin favored by the committee by its
vote yesterday outlines the method to
be followed in bringing about removal
of officers. When the governor shall
learn of conditions merting an inves-
tigation he shall order the attorney
general TO direct that action be COM
menced. The attorney general has no
option but to follow the instruction.
but these measures need be taken only
when the county attorney does not file
charges of his own volition. The bill
provides further that the case shall be
tried without jury and shall take
precedence over other cases on the
district court docket
BY vote of II to the house
committee on the suppression of in
temperance yesterday afternoon voted
for the Meredith resolution for resub-
mission, and it will be reported to the
house with a recommendation for its
adoption.
But two republicans on the commit
tee voted against the resolution. Hard :
ing of Sioux City and Kellogg of Mis-
souri, Valley cast their votes with
koontz of Iowa City. Wolfe of Clinton,
Miller of Waverly. and Ritter of Bur-
lington. all democrats. The resolution
was carried without discussion and
only the slight nervousness OF mem
bers as they sat about the table in
the little committee room in the top
most corner of the state mouse be-
trayed the Importance of the ques-
ton before them.
The fight for reSubmlsslon IS now Oh
the floor of the house and every mem :
Der of that body must either go on
record or take to the cloak room When
the vote is called, which probably Will
be this week.
Attempts to line up republicans
against the resolution on party grounds
have failed completely. The argu-
,nent that democrats would carry the
state or at least make serious inroads
at the next election if republican
legislature took a step toward resub-
mission has been used with little ef-
feet and each mans vote lies between
his conscience and his constituents.
The attitude of majority of the latter
is responsible for the opposition of the
six who voted against the resolution In
the committee, altho their vote is also
backed by personal conviction.

director of the Worlds Columbian EN-
position. snade some novel observations
in regard to the power of music in fur

The speaker said that the power OF
music. as an uplifting force in life,
was as tangible as electricity ana
might be utilized as electricity is at
present.
He said in part: ''Real music does
not lend itself to ignoble expression.
Music vitalizes as nothing else can.
Under the influence of music the care
worn are refreshed and strengthened.
the hearts are stirred. and all feel
themselves moved as if by one mighty
bond of brotherhood. This power OF
music can be utilized for the better
ment of mankind. Every school in the
land should be filled with song. Grown
ups. too. may get out of music some-
thing that will give them strength to
fight the battle of life. The whole ma
ton can be benefited by the power of
song. And this power can be utilized
as electricity is at present which at
one time was considered just as in
tangible a thing as music is by most
people now. As in electricity, so in
music We have not learned half its
uses. Music comes in fash. Those
who hear it are lifted up by its power
A few take the strength and JOY that
music has given away with them. 1t is
from these few that we can get an
inkling of the power which is in mu-
Sic
Mr. Tomlins said a good deal de-
pended on the attitude of the listener
as to the benefits he derived from mu-
sic.
"A O'Clock tea attitude is not par
ticularly helpful for getting the best
out of music" the speaker continued.
"Neither can the selfish or the idle
feel its uplift Music lifts up as water
does-you have got to do the SWIM
ming If drawing-rooms fail to prove
the inspiration that a beautiful voice
can give. let that voice be heard by the
helpless. in iails and in hospitals; then
we shall know
The school superintendent received
his address with enthusiasm The sus-
gestion was offered that study circles
should be organized thruout the couh-
try. and experiments carried on to test
the matter fully and Complementary.
