laws which will permit theaters to
open on Sundays and the playing of
baseball games from until o'clock
has been started in several cities of
the state with view of bringing pres
sure to bear on members of tho state
legislature.
That the agitation is meeting with
favor on the part of this Legislative as
sembly was evidenced this morning

will be submitted the first of the week
repeating the present strict blue laws.
The acts, it is reported, have the ap-
proval of the attorney general.
Substance Of the Bills.
One bill, it is stated, will define the
necessary labor on Sunday such as the
operation of taxis. bus lines, hotels,
restaurants, news stands, cigar stands

)theaters. This bill may be introduced
in the house today.
Tile second bill, which Fargo sen.
ator is said to have in mind, will pro-
vide for Sunday baseball between 2

said to be patterned after the Mime
sofa law. Hunting and shooting on
Sunday may be permitted in another
measure.

movement to influence legislation per-
hitting the opening Of theaters on

my dear Bethmann: -,
Il have since been turning over our
conversations thoroughly in my mind.
1t is clear that the people in the en-.
emy countries, who are kept in hard
endurance Of the war by lies and frauds
and deluded by fighting and hatred.
possess no men who are capable or
who have the moral courage to speak
the word which will bring relief-or
to propose peace. What is needed is
a moral deed to free the world, In.
cluding neutrals from the misery
which weighs upon all. For such: q
deed, it Is necessary to find 4 ruler
who has conscience, who feels that
he is responsible to God, who has q
heart for his own people, and for. those
who are his enemies, who is rindifer.
ent to any possible willful imisinter-
probation of his act, and who possesses
will to free the world from its suf-
ferings. >. \
II have the courage. Trusting in
God, shall dare to take this step.
Please draft notes on these lines and
submit them to me and make allsnec.

In short time l expect the supreme
courts of the several other states, and
even the United States supreme court,
to adopt our method of doing business.
A little leaven leaveneth a whole lot
The idea of any court being six
months, or year, or two years, be.
hind with work is perfectly ridiculous.
If judges cannot keep up with their
work, they should have manhood
enough to resign. For Judge to
leave his work undone and to draw
his salary for doing it is, in effect,
the same as stealing the money.
In the United States supreme court,
and in nearly all the states, they have
a court term system, similar to that
which has prevailed in this state, and
it has proven a cause of infinite delays
and great curse. Thus, until quite
recently, in this state there were only
two terms of court in a year, and
there was a rule of court that an ap-
peal should not be heard at the next
succeeding term of the court unless
taken 80 days before the first day Of
the term. Thus, In case OF an appeal
taken SO days before the first day Of
the simi.annual term, the parties had
to wait SO days and six months before
the case could be put on the court cal
endar, for trial, and then it might be
put off for one or two terms; and OF
course the result was grievous delays
and denials of justice. .-s..

democratic as . court can be. We

GREEN BROCK TAKEN HOME

Judge James p. Bailey ordered
Green Brock, who with his brother,
Jesse Brock, was waylaid and shot
Thursday morning, taken from DR..
w. J. Edmiston's sanitarium at Crab
Orchard to his home, and Sheriff j.
G.. Weatherford and Deputy Sheriff
w. s. Drye, obeyed the order Satur-
day morning. Brock was or the
county and Judge Bailey did not
feel that Lincoln county should stand
such and expenditure of money. His
brother, Jesse Brock, is paying his
own way for his treatment by DR..
Edmiston, and he is yet in a critical
condition. The wound caused by the
Winchester ball sent from the rifle
of John L. Hopkins is giving him a
great deal of trouble, while the
wounds he received when an attempt
was made to assassinate him and his
brother Green, are exceedingly pain
full. Green Brock is not considered
in dangerous condition, although
he carries a dozen or more shot in
various parts of his body. His vision
has been restored, but his right arm
is yet in a paralyzed condition, while
the wounds in the face and leg are
1lCcly do COulu DC CNpSNtCu'
All sorts of reports are current at
Crab Orchard, one of which is that
an enemy of Jesse Brock had offered
$500 to the person who would cause
his death. This is mere report and
the Interior Journal does not vouch
for the truthfulness of the state
ment, which was heard on the streets
of the East End capital Saturday. A
sweater was found near the scene
where the Brooks were ambushed
and it may prove an important clue
in finding the person or persons who
fired on them. As stated in Fridays
issue, John L. Hopkins, who shot
Jesse Brock some three weeks ago,
was on the other side of Crab Orch
ard when the Brooks were shot from
ambush, and his father, Landen Hop
kins, was in town, so it would have
been impossible for either of them to
have done the shooting. In fact it is
not charged that they did it.
