NORTH SIDE NE VS.
Gives Civic Club Chance at Gar
field Park.
Mayor Billiard Holds Off Coco
Cola People.
AMUSEMENT PLACE.
Company Proposes Concerts and
Concessions.
But North Side People May Sc
cure Control.

Members of the Civic club this
morning manifested considerable in
terest in the proposition made that the
civic club secure control of Garfield
mark. The matter had been talked of
PREVIOUSLY but came up again when
thursday afternoon the Coco-Cola
people were offered a three years con-
tract to control the park for the APP
prevail of the commission. Mayor Bill
lard was adverse to signing the con-
tract because he did not like the three
years clause. He is president of the
civic club and favored letting them
have a chance to talk over the matter
again.
The commission voted that it be
left III the hands of the mayor and
commissioner Holman.
Today these men have been learn
ing what the club members think
about the proposition.
The Coco-Cola people, VINO had
some concessions at the park last
summer, propose that for three years
they be granted concession rights.
They agree to pay the city 10 per cent
Of the gross receipts of the conces-
siOns and to keep and maintain TWEEN
tv boats on Soldier creek in the sum-
mer months. In addition they say
they will give three band concerts a
week. Another agreement by the
Coco-Cola people is to give any Or
ganization wanting the park for picnic
purposes 20 per cent of the sales Tor
the day, if that organization will fur
nish the band concert for that occa-
sion.
II am in favor of letting the Civic
club take that matter up again." said
Mr.. Billiard it'll simorning- Il am ad-
verse to tying up the city for three
years any way. I would like the con-
tract put off until I know what the
club thinks about it,
"If the club does not want the park
we can give the privileges to any one
we see fit I understand that the
company contemplates putting In a
casino and moving picture show this
summer and that would be in favor OF
the Coco-Co1a people"
Several members of the club this
morning favored meeting to discuss
the proposition. Many suggested that
if the club would shoulder it at all
they should do it with the idea OF
making a success out of it. In TINS
case the club people were of the opin-.
ion that it would call for an expendf-
ture of a great deal of money before
it could be made to pay and that as
soon as possible some means should
b. devised to raise the funds.

Church and State.

IF our government is to be endur-
ing, it must rest on principles of JUS
tice, truth and righteousness, sano
toned by recognition of a supreme
being whose experimenting provir
dence watches over the affairs OF ma
tons and of men. There is no on
cial union Of church and state In this
country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-
thorities. Church and state move on
parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis OF its
protection without interfering with
rights Of conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-
ligious sanctions. 1t is the duty OF
us all, churchmen and laymen. to
hold up the hands Of our president.
