les should keep idle children, mere
loafers and truants, off the streets at
all hours of the day and night. The
curfew merely indicates the general
policy that ought to be pursued at all
times by every municipality.
10. Iowa needs prison reformatory
for youthful criminals of each sex.
ii. Iowa cities should be made bet
ter places in which parents may rear
theor children. The general restric-
ton (abolition) of unnecessary tempta-
ton to vice and dissipation, of evil sug-
gestions, will do much. Familiarity
with the saloon, the brothel, the gam
bler's resort, drunkenness, the sale of
indulgences by the state, obscene Ian
guage and pictures and literature, and
with public corruption and unreformed
abuses will blunt the moral sense of
youth and suggest lives Of vice and
crime and yagabondage.
The great success OF all well organ
lied efforts to prevent juvenile vice and
vagabondage and to reform juvenile
criminals, the possibilities of educative
methods in the work of character for
nation, motives of philanthropy, re-
ligion, and even public economy, all
urge us to greater and more intelligent
effort for the amelioration of the ne
elected children and incorrigible youth.
The church, the school. the home, the
state. each should do it's utmost. The
press, the pulpit, the platform and ev-
cry agency for the creation of public
opinion may well point out the vast
Importance of this work. In dealing
with the children we are purifying the
very fountains Of society. All other eff
forts to reach the pauperism, vaga-
bondage and crime that are constantly
menacing the peace and security of
society are only palliative; but these
measures for the redemption of chill
dren are curative.

DODD-sHEA CASE DISMISSED.
May Mean That They Have Made Up
The Fulmer.BurnettC Case.

From Saturdays Daily.
Richard Y. Dodd has dismissed both
of the nuisance eases commenced by
him against Thomas Shea ct al in
which he charges that the defendants
are selling intoxicating liquors contra
ry to law. The first case was commenc-
ed in his own name April IS, and the
last case the State of Iowa was made
plaintiff and was commenced June IL.
This may mean that Richard and Tom
have made up and that Dick will no
longer stand out in the cold SO far as
the gambling combination said to exist
in Ottumwa, is concerned.
Judge Fee today signed a decree in
vacation in the case of John Fulmer VS..
Laura D.. Burnett, w. j. Burnett and
Frank Young, giving Fulmer a person
al judgment against Mr.. Young in the
sum of $135.39 and costs amounting to
SIS, and dismissed the case as to Mr..
Burnett and wife. Last fall the plain
tiff and his partner, Chas. Shewsy, Sc
cured the contract for plastering the
Burnett home on North Court street,
for the building of which Mr.. Young
had the contract. Subsequently the
contractor threw up the Job and Mr..
Fulmer, to whom his partners claim
was subsequently assigned, filed me-
chanic's lien on the building. He en-
ployed Jacques & Jacques TO foreclose
the lien while the Burnetts hired L. T..
McElroy. The case was tried at the
last term and submitted to Judge Fee
for decision in vacation. The decree to-
day finds that plaintiff has failed to
make cause of action against the Bur-
netts and dismissed the case as to
them with Judgment for their costs
against Mr.. Young, while Fulmer is
given judgment against the same per-
son for the amount of his claim.
