Mayor Burke Asked to Close Thea
tres and Moving Picture Shows
on Sunday.


A delegation of twenty representa-
tives of the churches, Y. M. G. A., Y.
w. G. A. and the w. c. T. y. called
on Mayor Burke, Thursday, to request
that steps be taken to close all places of
amusement, such as the theatres, NOV
ing picture shows, etc. :, in this city on
Sunday. This call is the outcome of q
growing sentiment for the better
observance of the Sabbath in this city,
the feeling being very general that the
places mentioned, as well as some
places where liquor was formerly sold
and which are and have been under
suspicion since local option went into
effect, should be compelled to close
their doors on Sunday. Mayor Burke
stated his willingness to call upon the
prOprietors of the amusement balls and
request them to do as the committee
wished and to go further if necessary
to obtain compliance. He informed
the committee that he should expect
and demand the individual support of
every member if he was compelled to
make complaints in the court to en-
force his request.
If the present ordinance is not suf
ficiently strong to COMPEL Sunday
closing the council should Immediately
pass one that is To this end it is sug-
gested that petitions be circulated
throughout the city asking for such
action.

A POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
A QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT.

Minister WI Ting fang, for num-
Der Of years the popular represent
alive Of the Celestial Empire at
Washington has been in England and
in Germany recently examining their
systems of government and he expects
to return to his native land ready to
report as to which Of the civilizations
of the Occident is best adapted to
serve az model for the Orient.
The patriotic American. will think
the problem as easy one-but is it.?
America undoubtedly present the
highest type Of democrac5, with in
dividualism as it's Keynote. with
which. however, modern Capitalization
methods are playing havoc. Great
Britain can only be called an dig
archy. The King is mere shadow
and the suffrage is based on property
qualifications. Germany present the
highest type Of monarchical govern
ment. Paternalism is the keynote.
The government does the thinking for
the people and it must BIZ confessed
that as far as material welfare goes
the government Of Germany has put
forth an excellent line of thought
during the last quarter Of century.
The problem for Minister WI. mind
you. is not alone which is the best
form Of government. but which would
be the best form Of government for
China. Granting that the American
government is the best. are the Chin
ese ready for SO much self-government?
Is not the ideal government q pater.

stand 'sin loco parentis?''
