heokuk business houses will go on
new schedule of shorter hours in
compliance with the order issued
above. beginning today, and continu-
ing until revoked. These hours are
outlined in the above, and the local
fuel commission believes that with the
exception of one or two changes which
nave been made by them under the
fower to regulate hours, they will be
ooeyed. These regulations in hours
nave in no way nullified the orders OF
commissioner Webster, but have been
asked as being more adapted to bust
ness conditions here.
The cigar stores will be open in
heoKuk from nine a. m. to nine D. m.
Inc local barber shops will probably
nave some hours arranged for them,
which will suit all of the BARRIERS of
the city. Aside from these two bust
nesses and the fact that liShtless
nights will NOT affect Keokuk, the or
aer will stand as it is now.

naturally causts 1i2st impres
sion OF hardship.
But even in this loyal obedi-
ence by Keokuk merchants, I
personally feel that an injustice
is being done them. l learn
from the newspapers that Bur
lington and FIT. Madison at once
asked 70 be made exceptions u
your order because each of these
cities has no considerable town
opposite it in Illinois and that
they were excepted from the
closing order. Opposite Keokuk
is the town Of Hamilton, Illinois,
which as a matter of fact is not
in retail competition with keo-
kuk. | feel very sure that the
mayor and Commercial club of
Hamilton made no objection to
the Garfield order. We are prac-
tlcally on a parity with Ft. Madi-
son and Burlington.
On the other hand there is a
very large amount of trade of
well-tSdo farmers in a broad
zone between here and Ft. Madi-
son which normally prefers to
come to Keokuk TO buy goods.
Today this important business
has been driven northward to Ft.
Madison. The loss of one days
business from Keokuk to Fl.
Madison is, however, not the
major part of the injustice. II
these important customers in q
territory of very considerable
size are driven by your order IL
TT. Madison nine Mondays in
succession. the natural result will
be that they will get the habit
and your order will have perma-
uently alienated away from Keo-
kuk and into Ft. Madison a very
considerable part of the most i'm
portant retail trade now habitu-
ally coming to Keokuk.
Full knowledge of local condi-
lions here for many years and a
careful investigation Of the facts
existing today convince me abso-
lutely that the Monday order sup
plemented by excepting Ft. Madi-
son is materially prejudicial to
Keokuk.
l hope l have made clear that
the merchants and people of
Keokuk are not in the least de-
gree insubordinate to any war
measure order; that they would
not begin to flock together to OPP
pose your Monday closing order
as applied to Keokuk; that not
withstanding they knew that they
were being placed at a disadvan-
tage in regard to their competi-
ton, they cheerfully closed up
tightly and unanimously today
out Of pure patriotism; that the
general feeling here is to avoid
nagging you about their troubles
in full recognition of the diff
Guilty of your problems. But l
feel 1t my cIty, as your local
to write you the
above facts for your earnest con-
sideration.
Very truly yours.

$50 Long Lefty"
When one of Oliver Morosco's sue

the theatre realize they can expect
something worth while. The fact is
perhaps, the reason for the enthusi-

Good Program Has Beer Arranged and Speakers Will Expound on
 Patriotism.
THE PUBLIC IS INVITED
''The Causes of the War and Its Objects Will Be Fully Explained
 by Speakers.

There will be a grand patriotic ral- ly at the Palace Theatre tomorrow night, to begin promptly at 8 o'clock, to which the public is cordially in vited, and which is free of charge.
 Among the speakers selected are John Rustgard, J. Hellenthal, and Hugh Gallagher the latter being the four-minute speaker for that night. The Palace Theatre Orchestra will render selections and the Presbyter ian Choir will give numbers.
 Regarding one of the speakers, the Wrangell Sentinel of recent date says:
 'If the Territorial Council of De- fense accomplishes nothing more than sending the Hon. John Rustgard out on speaking tour it has done enough to more than justify it's exis- tence. MT Rustgard's speech in Wrangell on "The Causes of the War and It's Objects" was one of the most forceful and convincing addresses to which we have ever listened. MT. Rustgard drives home facts in mas terly way that cannot fail to stimu- late loyalty and patriotism"

viso was in the bill or not. It can he stricken from the bill.
 THE CHAIRMAN. This bill re- heals all laws which conflict with it. It repeals the organic act, very largely. It says, That all Terri torial laws and laws of Congress ap- plicable to the Territory of Alaska that were in force therein immed lately prior to the passage and ap proval of this act shall remain in 'orce until they are amended or re- pealed by the legislature of the Territory Or by Congress, except where they may conflict with this act;" that gives the Territorial leg slature the power to do away with these laws.
 MIR. TROY. Therefore it is de clared in the law that the Territor- ial legislature can not provide for the sale of liquor, and that is the reason that was put in there.
 MIR. JOHNSON. And there are certain other exemptions?
 MIR. TROY. It only repeals those laws which conflict with this.
 THE CHAIRMAN. Suppose you repeal all laws you have on Chat subject, then Congress would have to enact laws to cover that. My ob- feet was to get an expression from you, because the suggestion that that proyiso might be eliminated would materially relieve the trouble
 MIR. JOHNSON. That could be cured by putting exemptions there.
 MIR. TROY. MT. Sulzer had lot of bills printed and sent all over the Territory for the very purpose of getting such criticism as you are getting now. The intention of this bill is that it shall provide for pro hibition in Alaska, and that the legislature shall not have power to repeal the law passed by the con gress of the United States.
 THE CHAIRMAN. We ought to be able to cure it, and l do not be- lieve you could get any bill through Congress that did not thoroughly protect that.
 MIR. TROY. The friends of this measure are in favor of prohibition in Alaska.
 MIR. SULZKR. Those provisos were intended to keep out that sort of legislation, but it was not thor ,ughly studied, and I can see it is possible there might be a conflict.
 MIR. JOHNSON. The legislation was introduced at time when the legislature had not received the prohibition law.
 THE CHAIRMAN. Legislation proposed before the prohibition law vas passed would be very different rom legislation proposed after the prohibition law had been enacted.
 MIR. SULZER. I think that is the lificulty with that proviso.
 MIR. TROY. Mr. Chairman, the people of Alaska have keen, per sonal, live interst in the govern ment of their Territory, because they i've, rear families, and pursue their daily vacations there.s The interest )f the nonresident is more or less beneficient theory. The interest )f the resident is a vital one, an ln- terest that involves most things of paramount importance to him. Those who live in Alaska are better informed on Alaska than the most patriotic of nonresidents because their knowledge is gained of expe- fence. Not only have the people of he Territory a right as Americans o lf-government, but they are bet 'er qualified than any other people 70 give Alaska good government.
