While it may be several weeks be-
fore work on the new improvements is
commenced, yet it is now an assured
fact Harrison County will make num-
erous alterations and improvements in
the public road leading into Missouri

That portion of the road from the
Sixth street crossing south to the
point where the road to Odell's addi.

ground reverting to the railroad CON-

south from the depot, passing through

to be constructed along the section
line from the Lahman farm east ia

Women Stop Gift Of Baby.

The women of the Associated Char
titles have intervened in the baby CIV
ing business, which has been adver.
tised by the Salvation army, and the
oaby will not be given away. For some
time the announcement has been con-
spicuously displayed that 3-yesr. old
oaby would be given away Friday
night after the service to the person
who made the best show of ability to
adopt and raise the child.
The mother oe the child is said to
have come here from Missouri Valley,
short time before the birth Of this
child, having been deserted by her
husband. She has another child three
years old. When the second child was
born she felt that. in her destitute cir
cumstances. she could not support her
self and two children and made the re-
mark to q friend that she would like
to find a good home for the baby. The
friend referred the matter to the Sal
vation army and the announcement
was the result.
The Associated Charities heard OF
the matter and will assist the mother
until she is able to work, she retaining

Crop Bulletin tor Week End
ing May l3.
The past week brought much
cooler weather, with an ample
supply of rainfall in nearly all
parts of the state. The mean
temperature was 2 to s degrees
below normal, and light frosts
were reported in all districts on
mornings of llth, 10Th and 18th.
In few localities thin ice was in
evidence, and possibly some dam
gar resulted to small fruits and
vegetables. Generally, however,
the damage will be slight. The
cool and wet weather has been
highly beneficial TO small grain
and grass, and these crops are
now in very satisfactory condition.
Some progress has been made
in blowing and planting, though
field operations were delayed two
or three days by wet weather
Reports show that from one-third
to one-half the coru area has been
planted, with the soil generally in
good tilth. From 6 to 10 days ol
favorable weather will be needed
to complete this work in all sec.
tions. termination has been re-
tsrded during the week, but early
planted corn is coming up fairly
we'll. All reports indicate an in.
creased acreage being prepared
for corn. The general crop out

den cup, with its blighting influence.
We would not, therefore, defend
cause condemned by God and deplored
by man, q practice which has marked
Its existance with such awful results,
but with all these facts before us what
is the remedy? We must remember
that experience has demonstrated the
fact that legislation cannot make men
honest, moral, temperate or religious,
and that Temperance, like every other
subject, must be considered in the light
of experience and existing facts.
So long as the National government
can realize millions out Of the impor-
tation, manufacture and sale of liquor,
men will traffic and drink the article,
and while we would if we could, dry
up every still and sink every ship en-
gagged in importing intoxicating liquor
into this country, but that now is i'm
possible, and we do not forget that the
suppression of intemperance has en-
gagged the best thought and prayerful
attention of some of the wisest and
best men ana women of this or any
other age or country, and yet we must
acknowledge the hun iliating fact that
bot little progress has been made in
effort stop the use of stimulating drinks
The living question is: How to les
sen the evil of the drink habit? States
and communities have established q,
heavy cost, ,sanitariums and asylums fol
the prevention and cure of this habit
and yet drunkenness is still common in
this country. If we have, with all this
effort, neither prevented the importa
tion manufacture or sale of liquor, is il
not about time to change tactics /? II the
wisdom of the world has tried for six
thousand years to prevent intemper
ance and failed, would it not be wis
dom to stop contending for the impos
sible, and turn to the mitigation of the
evil by the passage of ressoable law
Missouri Valley times., 1901-05-16

to govern the traffic in this article 2
by trying to secure too much we of
ten lose all. We must take the world
as we find it, and then by education
and patient effort lead the err.ng to q
higher plain in life. If the vast sum Of
money spent annually for the promo
tion of temperance alone were used for
the spread of the Christian religion.
we could hope to see, not only temper
ance, but religion which includes the
entire code of morals, prosper. This
is the hope of final triumph of the
temperance cause.
AsltnOw stands in our opinion. there
are but two remedies by which the pres
ent unfortunate condition can be bet
tered, anil they are:
lst. Abolish all law taxing liquor.
and the collection of all revenue on the
same, leaving liquor like other comodi-
ties; this would reduce the price so low
that no man could afford to run q sa.
loon, and would at once close every 50
loon in the state, but as long ss the
present high price continues, with spe.
cial privileges, saloons will flourish in
Iowa. High priced liquor will not pre-
vent it use, but reduce the price anG
you remove the motive to sell; like mi
ming, when the dirt won't pay, no MAI
80 foolish as to continue to dig. 81
with drinking, but when the saloon il
a paying business men will engage il
it and offer to the public every fscilit,
to induce trade. Remove the premium
on saloon drinking by removing tn.
tax and whisky would go down 50 loa
that no man could afford the expens,
of keeping saloon

Temperance.

The subject of temperance is one
which has occupied the attention
of mankind almost from Adam
to the presant time, and like many
other subjects, has its periods of
excitement and lively attention,
at times, like prairie fire, it sweeps
over the country. In this age of
enlightenment and progress, none 80
obtuse as to defend that which is term
ed dintemperance. We understand that
true temperance means moderate use
of all things calculated to promote our
happiness and prosperity, and total
abstenance from the use of all things
calculated to be detrimental to either
or all of the propositions stated.

blighted some of the brightest minds
of this and other nations; ruined the
happiness of families; wrecked busi-

upon homes, and an early grave to the
slave of appetite; but in the face of all
this men continue to use intoxicants
The Incorporate use of Intoxicating
liquor is detrimental to good govern
ment, opposed to church dicipline, and
the command of the Bible which com
mands us "to look not upon the wine
when it is red, or giveth its color in the
cup, for at last it biteth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder" 1t is also
said in the good book that no drunk.

A few days ago the st Paul ex-

more passengers and baggage to

out of the cab window for the

and were working to make up

Kirkuff and Conductor Rounds
took their train into Sioux City
