Plans.

| A tag day which WILL furnish funds
for the Belgian sufferers may be in
augurated in Keokuk If the women's
organizations are sufficiently interest
ed and wish to take up the scheme.
Mayor Moorhead has letter from
the state Belgian relief committee,
asking for the cooperation of Keokuk
in this matter.
The mayor stated this morning that
tile later date; asssoOn as the local
charities matters have been disposed
Iof, with some OF the local club woms
I en-, and that it would be up to them
to say whether or not a tag day would
be inaugurated. They would have to
bear the brunt of the work for the
tag day and it would not be compul-
sorry to accept the idea.
There seems little doubt but that
the club women, if the plan is submit
ted to them, will take it up. One OF
the club women. of Keokuk when asked
what she thought Of the plan said
! that she believed 1T was one Of the
best plans yet proposed.
Coming at the time Of the year
when the Christmas season is at hand,
people are naturally generous, and
think we can aid the Belgians. with
out taking from our local people who
need help. A tag day contribution is
made up Of nickels and dimes, and
they all count up. It seems to- me
Keokuk people would be generous
enough to give b goodly sum, and our
contribution together with that from
other cities would go long way to.
wards helping out
1t is likely that the tag day propo:-
sition will be suggested next week.
Burlington has taken up the idea and
will have tag day. Just before
Thanksgiving day. Other cities in
the state are planning them, and no
doubt Keokuk will fall in line.

That Keokuk is to have this con-
vention is due to the efforts Of j. P.

trio company, and A. D.. Ayres, for
mer manager of the company, who
attended the last convention of the
two organizations at Cedar Rapids.
Davenport made a strong effort to Sc.
cure the meeting and for this purpose
had present at the meeting repre-
santatives not only of their public
utilities companies but OF their com
mercial organizations and hotels as
well. The two men from this city,
however, induced the convention to
vote for Keokuk as the next meeting
place. The water power develop.

executive committee to be held the
first Of January Other arrangements
to be made by this committee also
will be taken care Of at this time.

TESTING VALIDITY

to Decide if ChancelIors
Are Elective by People

jackson, Miss, January 27.-(Spe-
eial. i'm the supreme. court today the
case of the state ex rel Attorney Cen
eral vs. 2. Z. jones' from the Kinds
county circuit court was argued by
Attorney General Collins for the state
and Mayes & Mayes for Judge Jones.
This is a case brought against. Cham
cellor Jones to test the validity of the
constitutional amendment adopted two
or three years ago making circuit
judges and chancellors elective by the
people. AT the last session of the leg
islature a resolution was adopted put
ting the amendment in the constitu
tion. but Governor Brewer vetoed the
measure on the ground that the amend
ment had been submitted in an uncon-
stitutional way and was therefore un-
constitutional. He claimed that the two
amendments should have been adopt
ed eparately-that is. that circuit
judges should have been submitted on
one ballot and chaneellors on another.
At the special session of the legfs-
lature held last spring the attorney
general was requested TO bring this
friendly suit TO see whether OF not
the position of the governor would
stand in the courts. An early decision
