A La ltalienne

The intinerant Italian three
piece orchestra when in town
last week attracted more than
usual attention from some on
account of the dreamy eyes and
cute ways of the principal tamala.
One of the young rhymesters
about town scribbled the follow
ing doggerel on the subject;
I'VE love to hear that Italian
play.
We would die if he stays
away.
Some good looking guy we
say.
We love him any old day.
We can't; we wont-oh my;
Don't you see why?
We simply won't lie.
If it kills, we die.
Great Scott; talk about Scott;
Why not about the Italian?
Other things on our mind,
Be kind, since he has left
this town behind"

TROUBLE EVERYWHERE
Irish Revolt Suddenly Checked
Strikes in This Country
Sunday in Kansas City.

Certainly there never was a
period when the world saw as
much general disturbance as
exists at this time. The capture
by the Turks in Messapotamia
of the entire army of the English,
numbering 10000; the uprising
Of Irish against the general con-
scription order by England and
the execution of Peter H. Hearse,
the president of the Irish insur-
gents, James Connolloy, the head
of the insurgent army and an
other; the strikes inaugurated by
labor organizations resulting in
the walk out or forcing out of
nearly a million wage earners al
ready and extending to all parts
Of the country; and last but not
necessarily least, Billy Sunday
trampling all over Kansas City.
The United States has been
ordered out Of Mexico but an
agreement that t he troops of
this country shall have the right
to remain 60 days longer and be
cooperated with by Carranzistas
in the hunt for Villa has about
been reached.
The situation around Verdun
remains about the same and the
great war shows no signs Of
weakening at any point.

County Sunday School Meet

We are advised by one of the
most prominent and efficient
Sunday School workers in the
county that the schools need in
spiration and a whole lot of other
things which schools have and
those in this county are deplor-
ably short on.
This energetic young woman
says that greater proficiency
must be attained by teachers or
the inevitable consequence of
want of interest and loss of prop
er biblical instruction will over
take the pupils.
We are further advised by this
young women that there will be
two notable workers present
and address the convention at
Sumner May8-9 Herman w. Bow.
mar, Genl. Secty. for Mo. and
Mrs. T. G.. Klepper, a former
resident of Sumner.
Thru Mrs. Kleppers ability
and untiring efforts it is said
that Clinton County is far ahead
of any other in the state in re-
spect of the condition of Sunday
schools. She is a resident Of
Lathrop, an enthusiast and high
ly intellectual and her old &C.
quaintances will not only enjoy
her visit but profit by her knowl
edge of this great branch of ed
ucation.

The Pool Hall Question

Inc fOOl hall question
Presiding Judge W. N. HamiI-
ton and associate Judge J. w.
Hughes desire that the public
know why they granted a Ii
cense to run a pool hall in this
city to W. P. Thrash, and since
the Courier IS the best medium
by which to reach all the people,
its editor was requested by these
gentlemen to make the follow
ing explanation.
The court had refused to grant
license for such purpose and ex-
pected to adhere to that stand
until Kansas City Court of Ap.
peals passed on a case wherein
it was held by the county court
that the court had jurisdiction
over questions of what was good
and what was not good for a
community, and a license was
refused by the Clinton Co.. court
to an applicant on the ground
that pool halls were not good in
stitutions to have running in a
community. The Kansas City
Court of Appeals held that a
county court had no authority to
pass on such questions. The
law says that the county court
has the right to look into and
determine the character of an
applicant for a pool hall license
and grant or refuse a license on
its finding.
Judge Herring decided that
the court had a right to act from
its information concerning the
character of an applicant and on
his part objected to the issuance
of the license in question. Judges
Hughes and Hamilton were as
sured that the court had no dis
cretion in the matter since the
decision by the court of appeals,
and influenced by the opinion of
the lawyers in the case and also
further moved by the attitude of
the city council and mayor, these
gentlemen, upon solemn assur-
ances that the conduct of the
licensee would be closely looked
after and any deviation from the
requirements of the law govern
ing such matters on his part,
would be at once followed by
revocation of the right to con-
tinue the pool hall and prosecu-
ton, whereon they voted to
grant the license. They find,
they claim, that it is now too
late to rectify the mistake they
made in following incorrect ad-
vice.
Judge Hughes does not go so
far as to announce that the
, court will issue a license only
, on a mandamus but that he
will have to be thoroly satisfied
that the applicant is a proper
person from every stand point to
conduct a business of this kind
: before he will give his consent.
= Judge Herring stands on the
record of the applicant being
: satisfactory.
The public and any who may
{ desire to engage in the pool and
l billiard hall business will now
understand the attitude of the
court on the subject, and criti-
cism for the former action of
, Judges Hamilton and Hughes
! should cease for the reason that
s they relied on opinions of others
who were supposed to know and
of Judge Herring for his position
because he was right in his un-
derstandino of his at.thoritv

''IF''
A Poem by Rudyard Kipline

"A IOSHl ny NuuydTu NlpHHS
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
II you can trust yourself when all doubt you
But make allowance for their doubling too
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
Or, being lied about don't deal in lies
Or being hated don't give way to hating
And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise;
If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with trumphs and disaster
And treat these two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truths you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap for FOOLS
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken
And stop to build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of ptch-and.toss,
And lose and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will to say to them Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kngs-nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
And-whch is more-you'll be man. my son.
