Moral crusades.

Moral Crusades.
A wave Of crusading against
vice and immoralisy 10 sweeping
over the country with rs-doubled
vigor this winter. These crusa les
are Of annual occurrence, but the
wave this winter is one Of unusual
vigor. The Union does not de
sire to depre:ate these efforts in
any way. On the contrary it is
merely hoped that much good
may be accomplished.
As here tofore, the crusades are
backed and supported by religious
organizations and the better ele-
ment Of society. But the present
method Of crusad,ng begins at the
wrong end Of the problem. The
conditions against which the or
CARNATIONS battle are but the nat
ural effect Of a very plain cause
the candidates supported and elect
ed by the votes Of these same cru
saders in municipal elections.
This point has been amply dem
onstrated here in Rapid City.
The church vote, combined on any
one candidate, could elect thai.
candidate and do it easily. But
in municipal elections the church
organizations invariably divide
their strength, put their love Of
party name above theis religious
professions and thus bring about
the reign Of vice and immortality
against which they LATER battle.
Thus the crusade is born, with
efforts directed against a condition
Tor which the crusaders themselves
IRE largely responsible. ~
How long the moral element will
continue action along such lines
is question difficult TO answer,
but The Union hopes to see this
element awake 70 ito real mission,
ssaiizs It's strength and the necss-
sity for absolute unity and t.aen
take advantage q ito position and
fullhll i.s righteous mission 10 the

Fort Dodge. July 14.-There will be no

trary to early announcement ard wide
advertisement. AT a night session &C

call the fair off. and as no explanations
We're given great has been the surprise
and curiosity to know the Gauss. None
of the local papers have given ,noret han
a faint clue to the matter and the off,

fair was declared off because of disa-
greement with the saloon men of the
city, who formed trust and pledged
themselves to only nominal support
Notwithstanding the fact that they
would reap the harvest. Rather than
hold a carnival for the benefit of the
saloon keepers the project was dropped.

Sioux city spelling Contest,

Sioux City, July l4.-Prof H. E.
Krat2. superintendent of the Sioux City
schools. has Just made report Of an
spelling test in which 1000
pupils of the Sioux City schools were
engaged. The pupils attended the grades
from the fourth TO the eighth inclusive,
and ranged in age from 10 10 10 years.
The test shows that on an average each
pupil missed nearly sixteen words out
of the 100. The words which were pre-
scented to the pupils We're all words, that
are in common use and such aa consti-
tuted a fair test. Eliminating the fourth
grade pupils. the other pupils made an
average of 80 per cent. While this does
mot indicate high degree of accuracy
in spelling" remarked Superintendent
Kratz, yet suspect that If the same
words We're written by an average 9, 600
admirers Of the goou old times residing
in our western cities. the per cent of
misspelled words would be over fifteen,
Prof. Kratz Instituted the test in order
to disprove the oft made claim that the
.pupilssof today are not as good spoilers
as the pupils of the days of the little
red school house.

Special TO Times Republican.
Clinton, July N--It has been tiiscov-
cred that there Is defect in the Lister
anti-prize fight law, passed last winter
by the twenty-eighth general assembly,
and, according to some OF the best In
formed attorneys in the state, prize
fights can still be pulled of IN Iowa. 1t
is not the intention Of the residents OF
Iowa to willfully violate the new law,
which went into effect July A. but 1t will
be evaded by a clever scheme. The new
law is az follows: ~ hoover engages in
any boxing contest, or sparring exhibi-
tion. with or without gloves, for a prize.
reward, or anything Of value, at which
an admission fee Is charged or received,
either directly or indirectly, and who
ever knowingly aids abets or assists in
any boxing contests or sparring exhibi-
lions, or any owner of lessee Of any
ground lot. building. hall Of structure of
any kind. knowingly permitting the
came to be ussa for such boxing contest,
or sparriEg exhibitions shall be fined
not exceeding $500, or imprisonment in
the county Jail not exceeding ninety
days."
The law 10 to be evaded by the. forma-
ton Of clubs. which can be organized In
any city. Under the law the club can
give boxing exhibitions. for which there
will be no admission fee The law does
not say. nor can not determine who can
Be members OF the club. all OF whom
shall be entitled to the full privileges OF
euch clubs. When boxing contest is to
be given. membership tickets will be
sold at a given price, the purchaser be-
coming a member Of the club and hav-
ing his name enrolled, even IL he never
witnessed but one exhibition. He is not
paying his money to witnesss prize
light, but for the privilege OF attending
the club. The club will doubtless be In.
corporated. with a limitless member

y that the law can be evaded.
