coffee).

the blame upon the individual citizen
and not on the system Of government
for the evils which all admit exist
and the poor results being attained.
Judge Cooke also stated that each
one Of the proposed governmental re-
forms contemplated the reposing Of
more power and responsibility upon
the very people who were now slight
ing their duties, and by so doing were
causing the very situation it is sought
to change.

TALKS TO THE TEACHERS
Exhorts Them to Instill and Guilt
vate Patriotism in the School
Children.

Judge George A. Cooke OF the su-
preme court Of Illinois delivered an
interesting address before the Trt-City
Schoolmasters' club at the monthly
meeting held at the Outing club, In
Davenport, Saturday night. There
was a goodly attendance to hear the
jurist talk. His theme was the i'm
portance of teaching true patriotism
and love OF country to the youth in
the schools, and to so instill
that love Of country and regard for
it's institutions in their hearts that
they will instinotively repel any at
tack made upon them or any innova-
ton attempted to be made and would
only sanction a change in any part
of our system Of government when
convinced from sound reasoning that
change should be made.
He referred to the schoolmaster as
one Of the most important factors in
molding a child's character and direct
ing his methods of thought, and treat
ed in general way the spirit Of I'M
rest and the demands for reforms that
we're sweeping over the country.
TELLS OF CAUSES.
! The speaker then proceeded to give
his views as to the causes for these
changes. He first described the con-
ditions under which the government
was founded, described the character
Of the men who framed our constitu.
ton and the methods they used tc ar.
rive at the result they did. Then he
pointed out that for a century the
people as a whole took an active and
intelligent interest in the administra
ton of affairs and during that time
there was practically no complaint OF
our system OF government.
Lately" said Judge Cooke, in the
mad scramble for wealth and mate
rial advancement in which most Of us
were engaged we have grown care
less of the affairs of government and
do not take the interest in the affairs
lof state and its management we
should."
RESPECT TO VOTE.

idates for important offices and impor

WITHDRAWS HIS CHARGE
Too Late, However, as Police Had
Learned That His Place Was
Open Sunday.

After filing complaint with the po-
lice against Walter Martin, who, he
alleged, had kicked in some window
lights in his saloon at Seventh street
and Seventh avenue after the closing
hour Saturday night because he was
refused admittance, Harold Norman,
proprietor of the saloon, got cold feet
this morning when called upon to
push his complaint, asked to withdraw
the charge, and then was confronted
with the statement that he refused
to prosecute merely because he was
afraid of the testimony that Martin
might give against him for running
his saloon on Sunday. Norman de-
MED the allegation. Martin was
called into court while Norman was
taken out and Mayor Schriver piled
Martin with questions. Martin volun-
teered information to the mayor last
night following his arrest in regard
to the saloon being open on certain
Sundays.
REAFFIRMS STATEMENT.
He reaffirmed his statements this
morning, Norman was called into the
room and told of the finding and then
given the alternative of paying fine
of $50 and costs by / o'clock or suf-
fering the revocation of his license.
The order was issued at 1:45 and Nor
man was allowed just one hour and
a quarter to bring the money in.
When he was brought before JUS
tice c. J. Schroeder, Norman plead
not guilty to running a disorderly
house, one of the offenses cared for

| Mayor Schriver ordered his license re-
voked and Chief Brinn detailed an of

to sell liquor there.
