poetry Of Mr.. Burns on Jan. 25.h
in the p-esen,e of a Scotehmaa
Some people write poetry because
they have nothing else to do and
some because they can't do anything
else Burns was one of the latter
kind He was the son OF smal
farmer and began his career as a
ploughbcy soon after his birth in
1889. However :: agriculture in
Scotland depended on Burns efforts
the country would soon have become
a desert, He was so poor Is a FAR
ner that il was decided 10 edaeate
him instead. This was done aaa
Burns began to write poetry at Il
very early age.
From that time Burns made his
living from whiting poetry. II was a
very poor living UP to the time o.
his death. Since then ii has gotten
steadily better until now great
many peep make their living from
Burns poetry and the man who can
reeite his verses with the true Scotch
accent which counds Ike a DIR II cut
ting into asw.sdom tooth necd never

Burns had a heart overlooking
with sentiment If he had been an
ordinary man this would merely
have gotten him into trrub e but he
was poet and whenever he had a
lave affair he embalmed il in verse
OF such eyqa' site beauty that people
would weep over it and thank Provi-
dence that virtue was not more AN
pant in Scotland In the eighteenth
century. Burns lived with the com
mon people in the common way
most OF his life and managed to find
enough poetry in Il to<fill a fat book

Policemen. firemen. the comp

result Of this condition, those hold

The Recall.

William Lorimer and other cor

Of Illinois. one OF the main objects OF
which Is to prevent. If possible. the
placing of such powerful weapea
In The hands Of the people. With
fhe power of recalling dishonest
elective officers, the voters are
feared by such men as Lorimer-
Without the recall. the electors are
not to be greatly feared. This Is
why Lorlmer and his crowd are
against it and it is another reason
why the .erstwhile bold. brazen boss
would not run better than third as

Thu electors of Cairo cannot en-
Joy the protection afforded by the
recall under the present method OF
government, but 1t is one Of the
most vital laws in the commission
form. Every incumbent OF an
elective office, except judicial Of
nee, whather elected by popular vote
or appointed to fill vacancy. Is sub
iect to recall and removal at any
time by the electors qualified to vote
for successor TO such incumbent
The procedure to effect the removal
Of an office-holder, Is as follows:
A petition signed by electors equal
in number to at least fifty-fve per
cent os the entire vote for all can
didates for the office Of mayor at
the last preceding election, shall
contain a general statement, insno'
more than 200 words, of the groand
for which the recall is sought. The
petition, after being signsd by the
required number of electors and
sworn to by the person or persons
under the person of persons by
whom it was taken among the vot.
ers, shall then be filed with the
clerk of the county or circuit court,
who, IN turn, shall Immediately pre-
sent 1t before the Judge, who shall
note the date OF presentation and
then shall order five days notice to
be given by publication in the Of
fetal county newspaper. II no pro-
test is filed within five days the
Judge then shall present, by his
clerk, his decree declaring the petl-
| ton to be sufficient, to the iits
council. The final step is then
taken by the city council. which is
required by. law to fix the date for
the holding of the election, which
shall not moro than SO days after
the petition is submitted to this
body.
The recall provision in the orig
inal form provided that the petition
should be signed by Is per centum
of the voters, but 1t was changed to
55 per centum by an amendment.
