CONTEMPORARY OPINION

Young girls and boys who go wrong
are to be pitied. In too many cases
they are tho iotims of injudicious par
ents. Too much restriction and too
much laxity in the direction of children
are equally dangerous. There must be
a happy medium in the training and
government OF boys and girls. Their
moral sensibilities must be trained In
the right way so that they may have
more control over their physical ma
lures. The sorrow that comes to par
ents by the waywardness of their chill
dren Is frequently the result of the
parents own mistaken judgment. All
the schools and the churches in the
land cannot do what parents can and
ought to do.-Morning News.

Crossing Accident.

The west bound passenger on the
Rock Island that generally pulls into
this station at 11:22 A. NJ. met with
an accident about two miles east of
the city yesterday afternoon that
might have been attended with more
serious results than it was. A team
ster engaged in hauling some of the
old building from Carbonate to Lost
Creek attempted to make crossing
ahead of the passenger. The result
was that he got his team and himself
over all right, but the engine struck
the heavily loaded wagon about in
the center and wagon and buildings
we're smashed into kindling wood
and scattered as though there had
been a load of dynamite under it
The engine was badly injured. The
pilot was almost torn off and head
light smashed and knocked off int
a field at considerable distance from
the right of way, and there was {
large hole torn IN the DOlIer Dtad.
AS soon as the engine could be
stopped the train was backed to thc
scene of the wreck and it was eX
pected that there would be found the
mutilated remains of the driver OF
the rig. He was found on the ores
Of a nearby hill endeavoringt to contro
his much frightened team. The
name of the man was not learned
The passenger train was in charge OF
conductor Warren and the engine
vas run by engineer McGoogan. The
team and driver were not injured by
the slightest scratch, but it was a
narrow escape, and the fellow hardly
care to attempt another crossing
ahead of the train.

Receiver Appointed.

Des Moines, Oct IA receiver,
as prayed for, has been granted for
the Equitable Mutual Life Associa-
ton, of Waterloo.
In asking the order the attorney
general stated that the defendant has
been engaged in a class of insurance
and issuing policies of a kind making
obligations therein that it had no
authority under the law to issue. 1t
is further stated that the contracts
entered into on the part of the com
pany with st. Stephens brotherhood,
Iowa Masons' Benevolent Society,
Iowa Life and Endowment Associa-
ton of Oskaloosa, Iowa, Canton Ma
sonic Benevolent Association, of
Canton, Illinois, were in plain viola
ton of its articles of incorporation.
The company is charged with ex-
|travagancei in the conduct of business
and using the mortuary fund in pay
ing unwaranted expenses. One
clause charged the company with be-
ing insolvent; that it used money re-
ceived for the purposes OF paying
death losses in paying salaries of
agents and officers, whose salaries
were fixed and allowed in sums far
in excess of the ability of the COM
pany to pay and of the authorized
expense fund to be collected; that it
is unable to meet its expenses and
pay the death claims as they arise,
and the liabilities of said defendant
far exceed its assets.

THE CANTEEN.
Lecture at Penn College by
Joshua L. Bailey.

Joshua L. Bailey of Philadelphi;
was in the city Friday and was the
guest of Penn College. The gentle
man addressed the chapel in the
morning and at four O'Clock he lee
tured on the "Story ofthe Canteen.'
Mr.. Bailey is man we'll along in
the seventies but is as vigorous and
active as man of half his years. He
is quite friend of Penn College and
his name will be found as one of the
substantial supporters of the in,
stitution. The gentleman was in Iowa
about fifty years ago before the day
of the railroads but this is his first
visit to this city.
The lecture on the "Canteen" was
along the line of plea for temper
ance in the military organizations OF
the country. The word "Canteen''
has come to mean, in military life a
place where beer and possibly other
drinks are dispensed with the per-
mission and the APPROVAL of the govern
ment and the officers commanding
the camps.
The gentleman took up the history
of the use of iEtoxicants in the army
and gave quite an interesting review
of the same in the armies of England
and the United States and then pro-
ceeded to show the demoralizing
effects of the canteen in the camps
of the late war. The gentleman is an
enthusiast in the cause of temperance
and he gives quite large portion of
his time and his energy to the work.
The zeal and the determination that
the gentleman exhibits in the cause
of the abolishing of the canteen can
not fail to bear fruit in the desired
directions.
