VOICE THEIR VIEWS. SEEKS ARBITRATION.
National w. c. T. U. Delegates
Adopt Resolutions at Seattle.
WAR IN PHIL IPPINIS DENOUNCED.
President Mckinley, Attorney Gem
cral GriGgs aud EX-Secretary AL
ger CenSured for Their Stand
on the Anti-Cantcen Law.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 25.-The ma
tional convention of the w. c. L. L.
passed a series Of resolutions Tuesday,
some of which caused hours of discus
sion. The main fight was over two
resolutions, one censuring the general
government and the president, AttOr-
ney General Griggs and S:,-Secretary of
War Alger, by name, for their action on
the anti-canteen law. and The other de-
nOuncing the war in the Philippines.
The opposition to the passage of the
resolution denouncing the war was led
by Mrs. Mary II. Hunt. of Massachu-
sets, who lost a sen in the Philippines,
while the pro-resolution forces were
led by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri,
and Mrs. X. L. Stevenson, of Massa-
chusetts. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:
Oppose Philippine Policy.
1--WE rejoice that the last year of the nine
teenth century witnessed the first interna-
tional peace congress, and hail the fact as
a glad omen that during the century upon
which we are just entering international
arbitration will be the only recognized
method for the settlement of international
complications.
I'VE deeply deplore the attitude taken by
our nation with respect to the Philippine
islands. and since governments can derive
their just powers only from the consent of
the governed, we protest against a policy
which would compel a foreign people to
submit to the rule of the United States, and
against a war through which the admins
traitor is striving to enforce its policy.
Against the Canteen.
I'VE protest against the manifestly
forced and unjust Interpretation of the
anti-Canteen law, as rendered by Attorney
General Griggs, of the United States up
held by eX-Secretary of War Alger. We
urge upon The chief executive, William Nc
kinley, of our nation, as commander in
chief of our army and navy, immediate
consideration of the case which will result
in such action as shall be in accord with the
expressed will of the people and his own
high oath OF office. We pledge ourselves to
renewed efforts through petition, letters,
personal appeals, public meetings and all
other just means, for the passage of the
Grout bill, which will come before our next
congress-"
Other Resolutions.
A resolution protesting against the
seating of Congressman Roberts was
adopted with cheers. Resolutions were
also passed denouncing immoral shows,
offensive advertisements, lynchings,
demanding the ballot for women and
against trusts.
AT the election of officers held Tues
day morning all the national officers
were reelected. 4 memorial service in
memory of Frances f. Willard was held

"a Beautiful LIFE -


One of the finest contributions to
the literature of Iowa has recently
been made by Mrs. Anna Howell
Clarkson, the gifted wife of Hon. J.
S. Clarkson. II is entitled "a Beau
tiful Life" and is in a sense a biog-
raphy of Mrs. Ira Joy Stoddard and a
history of Central University of Pella.
Discarding all fiction and imagry,
Mrs. Clarkson deals with facts and
produces story that is as refresh
ing as novel, but as solid as history.
The work naturally is of special in
terest to the older students and
friends of "Old Central" but it ap-
peals alike to the student of local
history and the lover Of good books.
Mrs. Stoddard, the subject of the
book, was born June Is, 1921, in
Geneso county, New York. Her
maiden name was Drusilla Allen, her
father being Isaac Allen, and her
mother Lydia Bartlett. She was
born and reared a Quaker. but after
her marriage allied herself with her
husbands church, the Baptist. Her
parents were married in Vermont,
afterward removing to New York;
The Aliens were English and came to
America two or three generations be-
fore the revolution Mrs. Stoddard's
grandmother was a Harper. Her
father was one OF seven brothers, all
OF whom served in the revolutionary
war.
Mrs. Stoddard took charge of the
ladies' department of Central Uni.
yersity in the year 1856. Mrs. Clark
son confesses her inability TO do this
noble woman justice in describing
her self-abnegation, sacrifice and de-
votion while following the lines of
seif-imposed duty to the youth of a
new state. She had the RESPONSE
biiities OF her home and three chill
dren in addition to her duties at the
college. But such was her genius
and executive capacity that she man
aged everything perfectly and sue
csssfully.
The volume is profusely illustrated
with pictures of early friends of the
college and OF students who have

"A certain alleged newspaper in
this town which poses as sensational,
might get up little excitement by
repeating its declaration made few
weeks ago that "the war in the Phil
ippines is red handed murder, and
that the soldiers are McKinley's hired
assassins." If it has any sand in that
direction now is the time to prove it.

made president in 1900. Well, he

COUNCIL MATTERS.
Meeting For the Hearing of a
Road Case.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held Monday evening, called
for the purpose of hearing the road
and alley case that comes from the
south part of the city.
There has been a great amount of
talk and numerous petitions pre-
sented to the council for the opening
of the street between Market and
First streets, tor what would in
reality be an extension of Eighth
avenue. Messrs. Robert Kent and
j. ID. Thompson of South I'd street
have desired a street thr ough the
place, and the placing of such an
opening would necessitate the taking
of strip of land from the property
of Chas. A. Johnson, S27 South First
street, and this Mr.. Johnson object
ed to, as it would injure hi ) property.
Kent would deed the city the street
through his part of the roadway, as
would Mr.. Thompson, but it would
be necessary for condemnation pro,
ceedings where the road would pass
through the Johnson property. Mr..
Kent stated that he would stand any
expense that the city might incur in
the proceedings.
o. c. G. Phillips appeared for Mr..
Johnson and Will Jones for Messrs.
Kent and Thompson. The matter
was presented for the two sides by
the attorneys and all the details of
the matter were fully set forth in the
arguments that were made. The
matter occupied the greater part of
the evening and it was after ten
o'clock when the attorneys had fin
ished and when the council had asked
all their questions of the affair.
There will be a meeting of the
council for the purpose of going to
the place and making another exam
ination. There was no vote on the
question last evening and the mat
ter will be laid over for action until
Friday evening, when there will be
another meeting of the council.
WAFER ORDINANCE.
The new water ordinance was
placed on it's second reading.
The ordinance that was presented
and read is not the original ordinance
that was forwarded to the city by the
attorneys of the water company, but
it is an amended form that has been
revised and amended by the city
solicitor. There was motion to sub
stitute the amended ordinance for
the original and the motion was pass
