The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-02-20

A good deal of interest is being
aroused concerning the circulation of
the consent petition by the saloons. The
signing of these petitions is question
for every man to decide for himself. In
the days of so,called prohibition in
Crawford county Denison had an even
dozen saloons, run for the most part by
reckless and utterly irresponsible par
ties. Some few attempts were made to
close these places, but for the most part
they were allowed to run without let
OF hindrance. We feel that the condi-
lions under the mulct law have been a
great improvement. The conditions are
not as they should be, the saloons have
been too lax in many ways, drunken
ness has been too prevalent, and there
have been many minor attractions of
the law. If the present agitation re-
suits in betterment along these lines it
will be good thing. 1t is not enough
however, for the temperance people tc
refuse to sign the petitions if they wish
to act in good faith. No good thing
can be accomplished by refusal to grant
consent if thereafter the saloons are to
be allowed to run regardless of law. 1t
would simply mean non payment of
the mulct tax and a return to much
worse conditions than we now have. If
the temperance people are in earnest
they must not only refuse to sign any
petition, but see that not saloon is run
in Crawford county or in those precincts
where the so per cent is not obtained.
Any thing less than this is an injustice
to the community. If we are to have
saloons let US have all the revenue pos
sible from them and let them be run
strictly according to law. If we are moi
to have them at all, well and good the

1t has been the general custom through
out the country to observe the day, and
at this timei is especially fitting that
the attention of all be turned to the
character OF this man. Stale Superlu.

the following circular letter to the
teachers and pupils of Iowa:
As superintendent of public instruct.
ION OF Iowa, take pleasure in asking
you and your pupils to unite with the
grand army OF the republic in observ-
ing Flag day. February %, 1900.
In no better way are we abe to keep
fresh in the hearts OF our young people
a reverence for the "Star Spangied
Banner, Ethan by the proper observance
OF these patriotic days. The children
should be taught to have a deeper re
spect for the flag and higher appreci-
alton of the value OF the services ren-
dered by Washington to his country.
From the moment Independence was
secured, no man in America saw more
clearly the necessity of national union.

The Bulletin unintentionally pays
Governor Shaw deserved compliment
in placing him in the class with Sena-
tor Allison, Mr.. Dolliver and Mr.
Cummins. So far, Mr. Shaw is about
the only man Crawford county has pro-
duced who has entered the class with
the greatest men of the state. Up TO
this time Governor Shaw's career has
not run counter to any of these men
and there is no immediate probability
OF there being any clash of interests.
Mr.. Shaw will, in all probability, re-
main in the governors chair for the
next three years, and there is plenty of
time then to figure on the political fu-
ture OF one OF the most justly popular
governors any state has ever had.
There is little to be gained by the men
ton OF prominent citizens of Crawford
county as candidates for the board of
control. The men mentioned by the
Bulletin, Mr.. Thos. Rae and Mr.. John
r. Grote, are too large Drained men not
to see through such transparent
trick. 1t would not have been in good
taste, and it would have been severely
criticised on all hands, had Governor
Shaw appointed any man from his own
county. AS for the appointment of
bankers, the fac S are that Col. Rood
was a merchant and travelling man,
Col. stanton, a merchant, Mr.. GILBERT
son banker, Mr.. Ellsworth one of the
largest farmers in the state, and Mr..
Waterman mine operator.

The Normal School.

1t seems that Denison must relin-
4uist its hopes for q state normal this
year at any rate. The bill providing
for the establishment of an additional
school has failed of passage in the
house, lacking but two votes of having
a constitutional majority. Unfortun-
ately, but in all fairness, we must
state, through no fault OF his own, Mr..
Blume was not present to vote, and one
other friend of the measure was absent
or the bill would have passed.
D5nison had a threefold interest in
urging the passage of the bill; firstly,
the need of additional normal facili-
ties, secondly, the justifable ambition
to be chosen as the site of such an in
stltution, and thirdly, the necessity of
preventing the location of school so
near to our own as to destroy it's use.
fulness. The committee appointed by
mass meeting of our people did its
work conscientionsly and well and at
considerable personal sacrifice. We
believe they have nothing to regret ex-
cept the fact that the bill did not pass,
and that they are glad that they did
what they could to further Denison's
interests 1t may be asked why it was
thought necessary to do so much before
the bill became certainty.
Did you ever see horse race? Do
you remember how both JOCKEYS and
horses endeavored to get a good start,
how they struggled for good position?
Suppose one Jockey had said, l don't
know whether the judge will give the
word or not so will not harness my
horse until / hear the word go" If
any Jockey had been fool enough to do
this the race would have been over be
fore his horse was ready to start. This
is illustration of the necessity Deni.
son was under to be up and doing
weeks ago. The only fault we can find
with our campaign was that it was not
begun early enough.
Compared with the object at stake,
Denison has spent comparatively little
money. Less in fact than nearly any
OF the other cities interested. It will
probably be easy to criticise the work
done but in fact the chief criticism
should lie with those who have done
nothing but who have done all they
dared to throw cold water on the
scheme. Denison has lost nothing by
its activity. 1t has become we'll adver-
tised and made many friends. so that
should the contest arise again at this or
any other session, much of the prelimi-
nary work would not need to be repeat
ed. The bill as presented by the COM
mittee was hampered in its passage by
the fact that. whether justly or not, it
was felt to be the result of a combina-
MOn of certain interested points, whose
representatives were not acting in en-
tire good faith. The first bill provided
for three additional schools. but was

To Form Law and Or,ler Iea.ua

DIES MONIES, Feb. so.-At a meeting
of the Des Moines Ministerial associa-
ton, Rev. Leonard Brown read a paper
in which he suggested that a law and
order league be formed, each of the SO
ministers in the city to appoint 10
members and have them sworn in as
constables. three of each to be stationed
at every drug store and arrest every
man selling liquor illegally.

The Bulletin as usual begs the ques
ton as to the county printing. The
people have enough interest in the
question to demand more than flip
pant reply. The statement that form
erly the REVIEW got nearly double pres
ent prizes is untrue, and if it were it
would not make any difference in the
present question. The Bulletin ac-
knowledges that it opposed to letting
the county printing to The lowest bid
der for a purely selfish reason. The
Bulletins admission proves two things
first that 1T is moved only by sel6shness
and not by regard for the public well
fare; secondly it proves that the county
must be paying more for its printing
now than it would under the contract
system. These two propositions are
clearly proven by the Bulletins own
statements. AS the Bulletin stands
self confessed as selfish in it's motives
there is no reason why the tax
payer should be influenced by it,
Ii it is a good thing for the Bulletin
to get high prices for the county print
lug, why isn't it good thing for the
people to pay low prices. II there is
money in it for the Bulletin under the
present spstem, there is money in it fol
the tax payers under the contract
system. The Bulletin has gotten itself
into as bad hole as it could. The RE
VIEW does not propose to be driven
from the main question, which it hopes
the Bulletin will find time to answer
II it is good business for the state to
let its printing by contract why would
it not be good business for the county
to do the same.

that the German Methodist church

ing is already for occupancy save that

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-02-20

cause of the defeat of the measure was
the desire of some of the members to
avoid tue responsibility OF choosing be-
tween the different locations. 1t must
be confessed that this was not very
high motive for the defeat OF merltor-
ious measure, but it undoubtedly had
weight with some. That Iowa Will
have an additional normal school in
the near future is beyond question.
Denison should by earnest and liberal
support of the college we now have,
keep in line for the location at any
time.
The REVIEW has no apologies to Of
fer for its share in the work. 1t has
been actuated by the unselfish motive
to build up its home town and to that
end has laid aside partisanshipand per
sonal feelings and has made consider
able sacrifices. The REVIEW claims
no credit for its work, more than can
be given to many others. Messrs. lab
or, Conner, Romans, Bullock. Kuehnle,
Sears McHenry, Gulick, Kemming and
Meyers have all given much time, con
sideration and money to the work.
One good accomplished has been thh
fact that in this work political and per
sonal barriers have been torn down and
men of both parties worked together
without one inharmonious word or
action. With such unanimlty Denison
can accomplish a great deal, and the
REVIEW, while it will be as fearless as
ever in defense Of its political opinions,
Will be the last one to break the era of
better feeling among our citizens which
the normal school movement has in
augurated. Denison has been the
gamer by the struggle and is in better
position than ever to win whenever the
contest shall arise.

and fifty inmates.
The executive cCmnittee argued some
time ago the importance Of only the worst
patients being received. as there is not
room here for mild forms Of insanity.
More room is needed. Last summer the
water supply was found insufficient. DR..
Miller remedied this by putting in Il hy-
draulic ram that enabled him TO use the
water from a stream about half mile
from the institution. A large ditch was
dug. The outlay for this Improvement
was about 81 500. 1t will save about ST.
600 year.
The health of the patients is excellent.
The cleanliness, good order and systema-
