FORCED REMOVAL OF EDICT
Londoners in Riotous Mood When
Monarch Threatened to Close
Citys Coffee Houses.

All England was up in riotous de-
fense of the right to pursue happiness
and coffee when, in 1875, Charles tried
to close the coffee-houses as "the great
resort of idle and disaffected persons" :"
hot beds of political intrigue. SO loud
were the protests against the prohibi-
tion that the king was forced to re-
woke his proclamation. To save his
dignity, he said that "out of his prince
ly consideration and royal compassion
all and every retailer of the liquor
aforesaid shall be allowed to keep Op-
en- until the four and twentieth day OF
June next" The arid date came and
went-and the lid didn't go on. The
London coffee houses still flourished,
champions of free speech when the
press was controlled and parliament
unreliable. -- {. .--
OF all the literary and political
meeting places, the most influential
was one ,popularized by the patronage
of the poet Dryden. Literary aspir-
ants of the day paid dearly mere
ly for the privilege of entering the
room the great man usually occu-
pied. There it was that Pepys saw
him, center of an admiring throng,
having every witty and pleasant, dis
course" Dryden's chair always was
placed by the fire in the winter and
on the balcony ir summer.

Ventilation,

- Through persistent education the
why and wherefore of this great health
necessity has been explained; still to
the many, air is air, and that is all
there is to it.
Ventilation does not simply mean
"open wide the windows" but it
should be done scientifically, especially
in a sick room. To properly ventiIate,
the air must be kept in motion. The
entrance opening for fresh air should
be larger than the one for exit. If
these openings are directly opposite,
the motion will take place without
doing the room any good. IF there
are two windows in the room, one
should be opened from the top and
the other from the bottom. For the
general daytime room the temperature
should be 6S degrees and at night 65.
A bathroom should be kept at 70. For
the sick room of pneumonia patients
and several other diseases, of course,
the temperature should be kept as low
as possible without having the patient
in a draught.

taking place such as fist fights ETC.,
but just to show the interest in this
years election from that of last years
we will give the number of votes cast
for both years. Just votes were cast
last year while 67 were cast this year,
andit wasn't the women that did
it either as there were only 81 women
that voted. The reason for so much
| interest being shown this year is on
account of school taxation, some peo-
pie would rather have q cheaper
| school while others are anxious that
their children should receive the best
! that can be given them. During the
past year our school has been i'm
proved by remodeling, the school
building and adding another grade
making it 10 grades now with 4 teach
ers and making it an approved school.
AS for the few dollars added to our
taxes it is small compared with the
| benefit it will be to our children.
From the 67 votes that were cast,
Oscar Swanson received co. Roy Har-
vey AZ, Carl Gienapp q and NJ. E.

JUDGES SALARIES

(From Dubuque Telegraph-Herald.
Iowa will increase the salaries of
members of the supreme court to
$500 a year and .those of district
judges to $4,000 a year.
This is proper. Justice does not
require the state to pay salaries for
these positions equal to the yearly
earnings of successful lawyers in the
more important cities, but prudence
demands that the salaries shall not
be so low as to limit competition for
the bench to young lawyers seeking
to establish themselves or to older
ones lacking faith in their ability to
command a lucrative practice. II a
lawyer for the sake of the distinction
and honor chooses to accept and re-
tain a place on the bench the pc
cuniary sacrifice demanded of him
should not be excessive, His com
pensation should be sufficient to en-
able him to live in proper fashion
and save portion of his salary.

EQUIPPED 70 RULE OCEAN.
Monster That Lived 100000 Years
Ago Must Have Been Terror
to Other Fishes. >

In the National museum at Wash
ington is exhibited the skeleton of a
! Zeuglodon-a monster which In Life
was seventy feet long and which must
have been ruler of tie sees during a
bygone epoch. There is good reason
to believe that this alarming creature
dates back fewer than 100000 years,
says Bulletin.
With an enormously long tail and
powerful swimming paddles, the Zeu-
glodon must have been able TO SWIM
at the speed Of an express train, una
its great alligatorlike head was armed
with huge carnivorous teeth. -f
1t was manifestly ferocious and
predatory brute, and presumably fed
on fishes and porpoise. The head was
four feet long and In the front part
of each jaw were eight teeth for seiz-
ing and tearing, which were supple
mented by a series of saw edged cut
ting teeth at the back.
The zeuglodons were mammals, re-
lated to modern whales. They must
in their time have been very numerous,
judging from the quantities of their
bones dug up in Mississippi and Ala
bama. where in places there are so
many as to interfere with plowing.
Farm wal, are built of them.
Apparently the creatures, which
are denizens of warm seas, died and
We're washed up into shallow waters
that afterward became dry land.
Drifting sands covered their bones,
preserving the latter to some extent.
Their teeth Coose in the jaws like
those of alligators) are found scat
tered about in the nsighborhood OF the
bones.

THE RUSSIAN UPRISING AGAINST
49, BOLSHEyISM
(From the New York World)

(From the New York World)
. Lenine disingenuously charges the
Entente with engineering the present
uprising in Russia. 1t may seem good
politics to accuse France Of "organiz-
ing it, in addressing the All-Russian
Congress of the Bolshevik Party at
Moscow, for in the past the Bolshevik
Government has strengthened itself
with the Russian masses by appealing
to the nationalistic spirit when for
'eign invasion threatened. But the
Entente Governments have had their
lesson. They are done with backing
military adventures like Kolchak,
.Denikine and Wrangel. After successive
failures in promoting war against the
Bolsheviki they have learned that only
the Russian people can carry through
the task of dealing effectively with
the new tyranny imposed upon them.
This is not the first time that Len
inc and Trotzky have had to face
rebellion among the workmen. But
they had the military power promptly
to suppress previous outbreaks and
to fortify themselves in control of
the government by terrorism. Their
methods of oppression could succeed
only so far as they reduced to absolute
submission all not in partnership with
them. Time was against them, but
the inevitable reaction was delayed by
the timidity and lack of cooperation
among the enemies that the Bolshe-
wiki had raised up against themselves
in Russia.
The trade-unionists and peasants who
have taken up arms are anything but
the kind Of social reyolutionaries"
against whom Lenine constantly ins
Weighs. They are fighting to redress
wrongs they themselves have endured
at the hands Of the Bolsheviki minor
ity and to overturn the Moscow dicta-
torship. 1t is a popular uprising, as
spontaneous as it is purely Russian in
origin and purpose.
Without doubt the emigres and up
holders of the old regime will flutter
about the fringes of Russia, shout
ing encouragement and awaiting the
, opportunity to return to the land from
which they fled. But it is not likely
they who have attached the Bolsheviki
in their strongholds, seized Cronstadt
and.marched on Petrograd. but armies
of Russian workmen banded together
with the common desire to free them
selves from an intolerable tyranny and
set up in its place a representative
Government elected by the Russian
people. Lenine would have less cause
for fear if he were facing only con-
spiracy hatched in Paris by Entente
agents.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS

While this is government by
parties it is an open question as to
how far party lines should be observ-
ed in the performance of the coun-
try's business.
The civil service advocates strenu-
ously contend that politics should not
be permitted to interfere with any
feature of government work not Of
a political nature. In support of their
contention they cite the experience of
business men in all lines Of private
business. Il.
The opponents Of civil service, while
admitting the losses caused by the re-
moval on account of their politics OF
experienced and competent employees,
say that such removals are necessary
for the maintenance of party govern
ment, and there may be something in
their contention although that some
thing may not be altogether credit
able.
In all countries where the people
govern there must of necessity be at
least two great parties. AS rule one
is conservative party, a party that
=, is satisfied with existing conditions.
The other is party that desires
some change or changes in those con-
ditions. These differences in party
principles should be sufficient for the
maintenance of parties, but there is
some evidence to the contrary, some
evidence that it requires a large
stock of party spoils to get out large
party vote. The administrations of
President Taft and President Wilson
can be referred to in support of that
contention -a.-r @-s.......-. ~.
President Taft on many occasions
disregarded politics and appointed
Democrats to some OF the highest
offices in the land; and, for some
reason, the Republican party shook
into pieces while Mr. Taft was presi-
dent. r....s ..- .,
President Wilson went much fur
ther than President Taft in his ap-
pointments to office outside of his
party, In many instances it seemed as
though men, like Mr.. Marsh of this
district, who did the most to promote
the success of the Presidents party,
got the least recognition when de-
sirable offices were being distribu-
ted. We are not finding fault with any
of the appointments made by President
Wilson, neither can we deny the claim
of those opposed to civil service that
his appointment of Republicans helped
to reduce the Democratic vote, last
fall. .3

Davenport armory. will Be rsplste
with action and also the prchabil-
fly that 1t will terminate either
way decisively. as
The match will be well nigh per-

with just enough natural raAcor
between the opponents u naks (

the way Of a grudge fight. Both
boys are too good sportsmen to
fight such . primeval kind Of bout.
Last Bout . Draw.
The class Of the last Johnson
Racer bout ut the Burtis theatre
should be conclusive proof OF the
foregoing statements. At that
time, the boys were limited 70 six
rounds and the bout terminated
with very little advantage either
way. although Johnson was &C.
COPIED a slight shade because OF
his superior aggressiveness and
cleaner blows.
Still, Racer is. entitled to deal
Of credit for his admirable physt-
cal condition and for the game man
rer In which he fought back In
that meeting. 1t is believed that
he has solved Johnson's style and
that when they meet again Friday
night, the Davenport welter viii be
