THE BARRE BOYS.
The Rev. A. E. Atwater Has Some
thing to say on the Subject.

EDITOR OF THE TELEGRAM:-Hav-
ing read the articles which have re-
Gently appeared in our local papers
from the pen of Rev. Ellie X. NJ.
Jones and Rev. Il. M. Fuller on the
need of special work among the boys
and young men of our city, / wish to
add my testimony as to its needs and
importance. Youth is the formative
period of life. Morally, a boy does
not stand still. He is either getting
better and better or he goes from bad
to worse. These two inevitable ten
dcnces are governed by fixed princi-
pies. First an act, then habit, last
ly a character. These are good or
bad, according to the conduct of the
individual.
Boys, as a rule, are easily influence
ed. Let them start wrong and if no
change in the way of reform takes
place, they end in blasted life of
shame. One downward step paves
the way for second one, thus the de-
cline continues until it ends in dis
grace and wrecked life. Whereas,
on the other hand boy started right,
appealing to the heroic in him he will
be filled with the spirit of self-respect:
he will add to his dignity honor and
thus rise into life of usefulness.
''There is good" says one, sin every
boy" If this be rightly appealed to
it will crush the bad and draw the
good and manly spirit out of him.
Realizing the possibilities that a
boy may become man, is it not bet
ter that we help him to build right
and safe now, than to trust to the I'M
certainties of adult life for retorma-
ton. 1t is not the highest ideal for
our boys to drop out of school on the
very day they pass the age requiring
their attendance upon the same then
plunge into muscle making and money
making vita all the power of their be.
ing. Next following the path too
many young men who are catering to
appetite and amusement. In this
day we have profusion of good liter
ature which can be had at thrilling
cost which if read will store the mind
with inspiring thought and tend to
lead to a noble life.
This is public question and APP
pealS in peculiar manner to the
community for solution. We cannot
expect better conduct from our street
boys until we provide for them a good
and wholesome place of resort for
amusement, sociability, mental and
physical improvement.
Yours for the Boys,
A. +. ATwATER.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
first straw vote in these parts was
taken on Tuesday on the Chicago &
Northwestern, between Clinton and
Cedar Rapids, the result of the poll
shOwinga majority of III in favor of
William Mckinley. The contest be-
came quite animated and the pro-
motors of the ballot met the passen-
gers at the platform in order to get
their expressions. The result of the
ballot was so overwhelming that the
advocates of republicanism were the
most surprised of all. 1t should be
added that many of the passengers
belong to the surface gang of the
road, that is they were men engaged
in the repairing of the tracks. A
whole delegation of such laboEers
occupied the smoking car. 1t was in
every sense, therefore, an average
American crowd which was polled.
