4 Davenport, April 21.-That Daven-
port seasons will not be affected by
the Iowa supreme court Interpretation
Of the Moon law because this city Is
operated under a special charter, is the
contention Of local lawyers.
"a law passed by the legislature
does not affect special charter cities
unless made specifically applicable"
was the statement OF an authority on
municipal law There is no reference
to special charter cities in the Moon
law"
The law provides that there shall be
no more than one saloon to every
1000 of the population in any city or
town. When the law was passed 1t
contained no emergency clause pro-
viding for immediate operation. and
saloon men in almost every city in the
state took advantage OF the fact to
secure licenses before July 4. 1909
when the measure regularly became
effective.
The supreme court holds that the
law went into effect on April 10, 1909.
and that all licenses secured where
there were already more than the pro-
portionate number Of saloons are in
valid. II the law shall be found to
affect Davenport, there are a large
number OF saloon men who will lose
their licenses.

Evarts Was Just a Plain Man

The evening following the great aft
the secretary of state gave a formal
dinner at his home. Nearly all of the
leading members of the administration
were present. OF course, Sir Richard
Webster was also present, and when
one of his fellow diners asked him
what his experience had been at the
capitol O. few hours before he at once
began to voice his intense admiration
for one of the speeches he had heard.
Then, turning to Mr.. Evarts, he con-
tinued:
THE speech / have in mind was
made by Senator Conkling. / believe
he represents your own state. Mr..
Evarts."
The secretary of state nodded his
head slightly, while the other men,
bers of the administration struggled
to suppress smiles; for the antipathy
that existed between Evarts and Conk-
ling was well known to one and all.
II have never heard an abler speech
in our house of commons" pursued
Sir Richard, innocently. Nor have
ever witnessed a more impressive de-
livery. The man is magnificent. AS
an orator he is without superior"
Again Mr.. Evarts nodded his head.

And. I should say" persisted the
Englishman, "he should be your fore

able advocate. He must have many

This time there was not even an al
most imperceptible nodding of the
secretary of states head. Instead. in
words precisely spoken. and with
manner that was not lost upon Sir
Richard, his host replied:
II do not know whether It is or not.
1 never saw him in court, and I never
heard of his being there"
For a moment there was silance,
then Sir Richard, with commendabls
tact, changed the subject, and a few
minutes later Mr.. Evarts was once
again the charming and entertaining
host. But the other members of the

Secretary Of State Could Not Conceal
His Dislike for Conkllng When
cir Richard Webster Praised
the Senator.

Two famous men of yesterday who
were naturally repellant, and for no
good reason that was apparent to their
friends, were William M. Evarts and
Roscoe Conkling, and the intense an
tipathy. often bordering on downright
hatred, that they bore for each other
was productive of at least one incl
dent illustrative of how small some
great men can be at times.
When, in 1872, Mr.. Evarts acted as
chief counsel for the United States
before the celebrated Geneva Court
of Arbitration, he made the acquaint-
ance of Sir Richard E. Webster. who,
in 1900, was raised to the peerage
and the same year became Lord Chief
Justice of England. The friendship
then established was continued by cor
respondence after Mr.. Evarts had re-
turned home, and when the latter
learned that Sir Richard was planning
to make a trip to America he gave
the British jurist cordial invita-
ton to visit him at his home in Wash
fngton. Mr.. Evarts was then secre-
tary Of state.
In due course the Englishman ar
rived at the Evarts mansion and was
taken by his host to meet President
Hays ROW. 1t 30 happened that the

ton that Sir Richard ought surely to

afternoon. The Englishman replying
that he would be pleased to do SO,
there remained nothing for his host
to do but to exercise his prerogative
as head of the state department and
secure his guest good seat In that
section of the gallery reserved for the

McKinley's Campaign Methods

Burchard at the now historic recep-
ton rendered to Mr. Blaine in New
York city just before election day of
1884. Had Mr. Blaine been provided
before the reception with a copy OF
Doctor Burchard's remarks he unques-
tionably would have stricken out the
phrase, Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion," words that undoubtedly cost Mr..
Blaine the election. Yet long before
the ine-Burchard incident occurred
William Mckinley had adopted the
rule of knowing beforehand what was
to be said to him and of him by his
admirers and supporters. In fact, he
put this rule into effect during his
first campaign for congress.
Furthermore, Mckinley was prob
ably as careful in the preparation Of
campaign speeches as was Roscoe
Conkling. William H. Seward or Ho-
ratio Seymour Like those great cam
paigners, Mckinley took the utmost
pains in the preparation of political
address. Indeed, he went even far
ther than any of those men did, per-
haps because he did far more general
campaigning than any of them, fire.
Quently speaking two and three times
day during an entire political cam
paign.
Having thoroughly thought out the
argument in support of the issues
which he represented, Mckinley Ia
bored assiduously over reducing his
arguments to writing. That task final
ly accomplished to his satisfaction, he
then carefully divided what he had
written into sections. Sometimes
section would consist Of two or three
brief paragraphs. Sometimes 1t would
be long enough to consume fifteen or
twenty minutes in delivery. Again 1t
would come perilously near to en-
bracing everything that had been re-
duced to writing.
Never was section arbitrarily
given a certain length. Whenever Nc
Kinley made a campaign tour of any
Importance he carried with him a
timetable of his own making. This
showed the places where he was to
speak and the length of stay In each
town. II the train schedule called for
a one-minute stop at the next town
Mckinley glanced over that portion
of his speech which could be deliv-
cred, and was prepared, in fact, for
one-minute address. II flve-minute
stop was scheduled, then he would re-
fresh his memory Of the five-minute
section of his speech. A f1fteen-minute
stop caused the fifteen-minute section
to be brought forth; and where time
permitted the entire speech would. Of
course. be delivered. So skilful, how
ever, was Mckinley in varying his
phraseology that he never seemed to
repeat himself. Practically every time
he delivered the five-minute section of
his speech. for example, It would be
clothed in a new verbal dress. Yet
the meaning of the section was al
ways the same. and as clearly pre-
sented in one dress as another.
This perhaps, was the most strik-
ing Of the various tricks Of campaign
ing that Mckinley employed which
led those who accompanied him on
his campaigns to state with practical
unanimity that Mckinley was the most
skilful and economical user Of his
time. his voice, and his mental and
physical strength of any campaigner
they had ever accompanied.
