lain, L. N. Randall, and song by the
young ladies of the house, assisted by
Miss Eta Woodbury.. of Bennington,
after which the time until the dinner
hour was given to the question bureau.
Questions with their answers in brief
were as follows:
Which is the most sinful of sins-Mrs.
Randall. Some would say that the
man who visits the saloon and spends
his money there, thereby robbing his
family of that which belongs to them,
commits the greatest known sin, but it
is my belief that a person, either man
or woman, who steps into and breaks
up family commits an inhuman. un-
lawful, disgrace, and the most sinful Of
all sins. The good Book says the mar
rage vow should be sacred. What God
has joined together let no man put
asunder.
Why should man who has no chill
dren be taxed for the support of schools
Miss Guilford. 1t is not the man but
the property that Is taxed. A certain
per cent of all property owned by indi-
companies or corporations Is

committee on street%
meeting at Justice McCaug
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was
to hold street fair here on JulyS~
and August l., and 3. The permi
sion Of the council will have to be
secured for the use of the street, but
there will be no trouble about this.
A committee of reputable mer-
chants and other citizens, with DR..
j. 0. Parker as chairman, has all the
arrangements in charge. The sum Of
$500 soon to be increased to 81, 900 has
been raised for attractions. Mr.. Lift
figures that thirty fine attractions,
including trapeze and other laerial
artists, singers, dancers, etc., can be
secured for this sum. Three or four
elevated platforms will be erected in
different parts Of the paved district,
and performances will be given upon
them. The acts will be at different
hours SO nothing will conflict, and
there will always be something to
see.
The street fair in 1913 was very sue
cessful, but Mr.. Lift says that this
years entertainment can be made
much more so, on an equal expendi-
ture of money. That season the COM
mittee put most of the money into one
big attraction. This year there will
be thirty, instead Of one, all equally
good in their way.
The committee in charge wants it
understood from the start that every.
thing will be strictly on the square.
No act with the slightest tendency to
immortality will be tolerated, and
chuck-luck and other card and dice
artists will be arrested on sight. 1t
is not to be five days of license, but a
clean, legitimate harvest festival, for
the benefit of the city, and the enter
tainment of its friends, one for which
all classes can work.

Mason City Globe Gazette: The Mar
shalltown Times Republican has chal-
.lenged the admiration of the newspaper
men in the state and their readers as
well, by Its phenomenal growth the past
two years The growth of the circula-
tion has increased the demands on it's
advertising space and the management
therefore decided to enlarge to an eight
column paper. The enlargement thus
makes 1t the largest every day daily
issued in Iowa and the management
will endeavor to see that it is also the
best. The reason for the Times Repub-
slican's popularity is that While some
other papers are content to run miscel-
1aneous special articles. the Times Re
publican believes that the state news
we'll told is what the people demand Of
an evening daily and by this addition
1t adds as much news wisely distributed
over each week day as is found in the
padded extra edition Of the Sunday
Metropolitan press. .Unser Fritz" and

here's hoping the tugs will never break
on their active pull up the hill Of fame,
and that the breeding will never be
called in use on their editorial and man
agerial harness.

Tama Herald: The Marshalltown
Times Republican is always good
newspaper hut it Is not content with
the high degree of excellence it has al
ready attained and on last Friday came
before its readers enlarged and general
ly improved. In its enlarged form 1t
consists of eight pages of eight columns
to the pagan increase Of a column
to each page The enlargement not only,
gives that much more room for general
and Iowa state news-strong features
of the Times Republican-but adds
vastly to the appearance of the sheet.
Iowa has many newspapers but there
is none of them that, as an "all-round-
good-paper." is superior to our esteemed
Marshalitown contemporary. Some of
them are strong edltorially, others often
show commendable enterprise along the
line of nesgathering, While, Others
With justifiable pride, point to machan-
ical excellence. The Times Republican
is not prominently strong In any one
respect but is excellent along all lines.
1t is what might be termed well bal
anced newspaper and it is certainly en-
titled to the large measure of public
confidence given 1t and the flattering
patronage it receives. Its brethren of
the Iowa press take pleasure in the
prosperity of the Times Republican.

be made by investing in piece OF real

The LeMars Sentinel declares the
American people like man who can

they like a man who can talk and talk

too much. That there is an Increased
number of these IS not Impossible, in
view of the large increase in the popula-
ton. Whether the percentage has in
creased is quite another matter. 1t is
not Impossible, also, that the feeling
which so many American women once
had that 1t was sinful to drink a glass
of wine or beer has lost something of its
strength, but 1t would not follow there
from that the women of this country are
on the eve of becoming drunkards.
Some doctors are emotional and have
not the scientific spirit. They draw
sweeping conclusions from exceedingly
narrow premises. 1t is altogether posi-
bic that the New York doctor who has
been referred to has met in his practice
of late with an unusual number OF
drinking women and has jumped at the
conclusion that women all over the

prejudiced classes against existing
authority, whether good or otherwise.
These agitators really encourage revo-
luton and keep alive the traits of
character inherited by foreigners that
ought to be eliminated as result of
life in a free republic.
The news columns just now are
pointing out the fact that the unde-
|sirable classes are now forming the
greater part of our immigration.
Whereas, awhile ago the larger part of
our new Corners were from England.
Scotland. Wales and the northern
countries of Europe. now the great
ope. In ten years ending with 1900,
nearly 100000 immigrants arrived in
this country. from Austria Hungary,
in the same period 651.S93 from Italy
and 602.01O from Russia and Poland.
Nearly % per cent of all the immi-
grants that arrived last year who We're
over IA years old were illiterate. 1t will
be seen that the figures sustain the
claim of the great menace that threat
ems our nation.
1t is announced that President Roose-
cit has taken up the subject of immi-
grafton for the purpose of informing
himself on the requirements of the
situation for use in his message TIC
congress. He has recently been con-
ferring with Commissioner Powderly,
of the immigration bureau, for this
purpose. Mr.. Powderly has long en-
tertained the opinion that the immigra-
ton laws should be radically changed
to bar out undesirable immigrants and
give greater protection to the labor of
the country. During the past season
Mr.. Powderly has investigated con-
ditions along the Canadian border, and
has examined into the character of i'm
migrants who come here from various
sections of Europe. In his annual re-
port. which will soon be before the
president, the commissioner will take
strong grounds in favor of restrictive
legislation, and 1t Is to be hoped that
congress will act favorably on his
for the future welfare
of our nation.

DRINKING AMONG WOMEN.

A New York doctor has given out the
startling statement that women "the
country over are drinking more and
more every day, while men are drinking
less. The Chicago Tribune is inclined to
dispute his statement, in so far as wom-
en- are concerned, and 1t is believed that
1T has good ground for taking issue with
the doctor. The Tribune says:
The statement as to men is unques-
t!onably correct, especially If limited to
the more intelligent, better educated and
more prosperous male members of the
community. 1t is quite true, as this
New York doctor says. that drinking In
business hours, so common once, is not
viewed with favor now, and that even
the moderate drinker is regarded as un-
desirable by the business world. Among
many classics of men where excessive
drinking was the rule fifty years ago ex-
IRENE moderation is the rule now.
Is it really the case. however. that
there is such an increase of drinking
among women "the country over as to
be IAN awful or vital danger to the we'll
being of tine nation?" 1t is difficult to
believe TINT women, who have learned
from sorrpwful experience the misery
that the drink habit among men can
cause, should themselves take to drink
irg at time when men are beginning
to be more moderate in their use of
liquor.
+ This is not the only alarming state
ment which has been made Of late con-
corning American women. It has been
said that they are becoming. "all over
the country" the slaves Of opium. There
is no reason to believe in the truth Of
either statement, especially when so
broadly made as to cover the entire
United Suites. There are now, as there
have been in the past, women who drink
