To Attack Permissible Civic fed
eration's determination to continue its
warfare on the saloons of Davenport
until the provisions of the Moon bill
are complied with, was further evil
denced yesterday by Attorney H. B.
Betty issuing the following public
statement: Permits granted by the
city council to parties for vacant
places not occupied for saloon pur-
poses prior to July 4, cannot be open
ed up for saloon purposes and it is the
policy of the Civic federation to enjoin
all those who open up such properties
In commenting on the above notice
Attorney Betty states he understands
lhat are % such permits in existence
and that the granting of them by the
city council was nothing more than a
mere subterfuge of the provisions OF
the Moon bill. A number of these were
granted on vacant lots and Mr. Betty
states those securing them did so for

Chicago.-The divinity school Of the

another startling bit of advanced the
ology when the 13 editors of the Bibli:
cal World put their o. K. on the state
ment that the Bible is not q compen.
dunn of ethics and never was intend
ed to be.
The argument appeared in the form
Of an editorial in the magazine. OF
which Prof. Ernest Dewitt Burton, D.
D., head of the department Of New
Testament literature and interpretar
ton, is the editor-in-chief. The asso.
ciate editors are members of the fac
ulty, and their unanimous approval is
necessary before an editorial goes to
the printer. Often two or three col.
laborate on an article.
The editorial makes the argument
that the ethical methods of Jesus were
ideal in that they were elastic and ad.
justed to fit conditions as they were
found. s
In an interview DR.. Burton elaborat.
ed on the presentments made in the
editorial in a manner to emphasize
what many persons had read between
the lines, viz. that Sunday baseball
and other personal enjoyment of the
Sabbath were not necessarily sinful.
In the minds Of the 10 professors. DR..
Burton did not mention baseball in his
discourse nor did he mention saloons,
but he left room for some very plain
differences. AS did the editorial, he
held that the Bible was not an iron.

nothing was known until he broke
one of the famous gold corners in the
seventies, when handsome, ruddy-
checked little lrishman bobbed up Sc
renely from nowhere in particular and
claimed to be the great Cavenaugh's
father. But his proofs were not con-
vincing, and when the son showed a
decided contempt for him, he gently
subsidized into oblivion and was heard
of no more. From time to time Car
rington gathered a small crumb of in
formation regarding his sweetheart's
grandfather; but whenever he
broached the subject, however tact
fully, everybody concerned headed the
conversation for a different port.
Darlington had never laid eyes on
the old gentleman, and, for all he knew
to the contrary, he might be myth.
He reasoned that in all probability the
grandfather was illiterate, uncouth,
and rather an awkward piece of family
furniture to handle, when the family
proper were ingratiating themselves
into the Chippendales of society. Un-
fortunately, Mother Cavenaugh, good

been stung by the bee of the climbers,

herself and daughters in society; and

not take his eyes from the doves.

about the steady man. who keeps on
pegging all the time and does the
best he can: the man who early goes
to work and doesn't get home till late:
nor ever try to shirk In order to be
great. There are some fellows who
will try to dc their business tricks
and have finger in the pie of city
politics; they try to put on lots OF
style and play heavy role. and in
little bit o. while you find them in
