Conflict between the Illinois state
pure food law and the city ordinance
regulating the manufacture and sale
of ice cream within the borders Of
Moline was done away with this morn
ing when the city commission adopted
an emergency ordinance reducing the
minimum butter fat requirement from
IA TO S per cent. The ordinance was
proposed by Commissioner f. l.. East
man with the explanation that diff
Guilty had been experienced in prose
cutting offenders when the new state
law required a showing of only per
cent for butter fat while the city ordi-
nance required 6 per cent higher.
Several appeal cases are now pend
ing in the circuit court of Rock Island
county because of convictions for
violation of the city's IA per cent rule,
the remonstrance being made that the
city ordinance in this respect is unrea-
sonable and unfair, and that the state
law requires but per cent The Il
per cent minimum has been noted in
the citys statute books for the past
u years. the original ordinance hav-
ing been passed during the term of
Mayor Andrew Olson. At that time it
conformed to the state law. but recent
changes in the Illinois code have
been made. The new ordinance adopt
ed makes state and local authority
identical again. The commissioner of
public health recommended this ordi-
nance because he plans to vigorously
push cases against manufacturers and
dealers in impure ice cream. several
of whom are thought TO operate in
this city. Fines of from SO to 500
are prescribed in the new ordiCance

Shifts of Population.

from the Chicago Journal
Turks from Europe and Tripoli are
settling in considerable numbers in
Syria, and causing something of a
boom in the irrigation business of that
sleepy and thirsty region. Greeks
from the United States are buying
lands and forming colonies in Mace
donia, Italians are settling in Tripoli,
Bulgarians are leaving Sifistria to
avoid Roumanian rule. and on half n
dozen borders population is shifting
as a result Of the Balkan wars and the
successful enterprise OF Italy in the
old Roman province of Africa.
These movements help to show how
the distribution of population must
have been affected by ancient wars.
The Assyrian kings. as every one
knows, transplanted the people of
whole provinces from place to place.
an effective means of breaking off
their local patriotism. Even in classic
Greek and Roman times. successful
war was usually followed by ces-
sion of land. and the settlement there
on of a colony from the victorious ma.
tion.
To this day there are villages in
Macedonia and Thessaly which speak
a corrupt Roman language. derived
from their ancestors. who were plant
ed there by Julius Caesar.

Ben Jonson Redivius.

| From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Some people know that there once
lived q dramatist named Ben Jonson,
a cotemporary of Shakespeare: a few
persons are familiar with his works
and most people never heard of him at
all. That a copy of one of his plays
should have sold for almost as much as
n first quarto of Shakespeare indicates
that rare Ben is coming into his
own, although little late to be of
any material service to himself. 4
New York collector secured all the
prizes. much to the disgust of London
bidders. who continue to view with
alarm the passing Of many works
of art and literature to this country.
but who do nothing in practical way
Ito prevent the expectations.
Thanks to the efforts of teachers in
the secondary schools, and to some eN-
tent in the primary, most people in
'Shakespeare's works. and his plays are
still produced; but few ever read the
plays of any of the contemporaries of
Shakespeare. even supposing they know
inc that Shakespeare WAS a sort of
intellectual freak and that all of his
plays are of equal value and no one
else ever approached any of them
This is pure ignorance. Jonson. Beau
mont, Fletcher, not to mention several
others of the Elizabethan age, wrote
plays better than some of which
Shakespeares name is attached. They
are worth reading and are worthy of
stage production, although that is sell
dom attempted.
Jonson outlived Shakespeare physi-
cally and there was a time when his
works were considered superior to
those of Shakespeare. Jonsons plays
were produced in England when
Shakespeare seemed to have been ut
terly forgotten. Now the reverse is
the case and it is a pity. Lovers of
good literature are requested to read
EVERY Man in, His Humour." 'Cati-
line and The Devil Is an Asse," not
to mention others. which will be found
to contain dramatic action and fine
poetic insight. 1t is known that JON
son assisted Shakespeare on some of
his plays. and II is believedw the work
was reciprocal In those days the
drama was in the hands of a group Of
poets such the English speaking
world has never seen before nor since.

in a hurry. When he had seen twice

The telescope man explained that the

his elbow an admonitory jerk. The
telescope man said nothing.

had to put a hand over one eye before
he could see out of the other got Off
