Where the Responsibility Rests.

In the final analysis the RESPONSE
bility for our schools rests on the
people, on you and on me. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to keep himself
informed on these questions and in
touch with all movements for the
betterment of our social condition.
We must look 10 the character and
ability of those who make and ad
minister our laws and put intelli-
gent and honest men in official posi-
tons. Next to the church of Christ
including the Christian family, the
school house is the most important
factor in the enlargement of intelli
gence, the increase of virtue and the
elevation Of our social status. We
owe it to God, to our country, TO
our state, to our county, to our fam
lilies, to our friends, to the rising
generation and to generations yet
unborn, to do all in our power to
promote and perfect this great agen-
cy for the betterment of mankind.
You can do something towards this
end. can do something. Let us
arise and be about it.-Richard Nc.

BURNS MONEY ON DEATHeED.

South Carolina Man Determined No
One Should Profit by His Decease.
According to the citizens of the adj
joining county the meanest man that
ever lived died recently in Union
county, South Carolina. His name
may have been too much for him, at
any rate he failed to live up to 1t.
There were SO many little Angels
that when he came, the names having
been quite exhausted, his mother
called him Startling.
Even in childhood Startling Angel
was avaricious.
At seventy, old and decrepid for
his years, he sold the comfortable
home and plantation. including the
stock on the place, for the sum of
thirty thousand dollars. He then
moved into rude log hut and for the
few remaining years of his life lived
there alone gloating over his treasure.
The night before his death he took
from its place of concealment the
money. built large fire and bin by
bill consigned to the flames the whole
of the thirty thousand dollars.
He was found dead in his bed, and
the charred bills on the hearth told
the story of the man who had vowed
that no human being should profit by
his death.

NO REDRESS IN THE LAW
Attorney General Mullan Says Act IL Not

NO REDRESS IN THE LAW

Des Moines Sept. 1S.-According to
Attorney General Mullan the state OF
Iowa is completely powerless to pre-.
vent the reorganization scheme OF the
Rock Island. The acts OF the new
Iowa corporation. the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad company,
recently formed in this state with
capital Of SIZE, OOO,0 900, he holds are not
outside of the powers conferred by
statute. Nor are they opposed. he de.
clares. to the public policy of the state
in sense that will enable the state
to prevent the transaction or main
tain an action Of quo warranto for the
dissolution of the corporate franchise.
While one may be personally oppos'
ed to the policy of the state In per
hitting corporations to issue their
stocks and bonds for the purchase of
property In amounts in excess of the
actual value of such property, says
the attorney general in his opinion,
the question is one that must be re-
ferred to the legislature rather than
the courts.
The effect of the opinion is to bring
to an end further investigation by the
governor of the Rock Islands plan OF
procedure. 1t appears now the only
substantial result that may flow from
the inquiry set on foot last month by
Governor Cummins will be to call the
attention of the legislature to the
weaknesses of the Iowa law, in afford
ing shelter to such interpretations as
the new Rock Island Railroad COM
pany and probably to bring about
more stringent legislation. .-....
Governor Cummins devoted large
share of yesterday to an examination
of the opinion of the attorney general.
He was led to the conclusion that Mr..
Mullan had construed the law correct
ly. Asked for statement, he said:
II have carefully examined the opin-
ion of the attorney general and l con-
cur with him in the conclusion that
under the law as it now is, the state
of Iowa cannot prevent the consum-
nation of the plan described in my
letter to the attorney general and i'll

track nor a dollar in value is added 20
the Rock Island property. 1t is sim,
ply a new device for watering securi.
ties. +a
at is for the next general assembly
to say whether it is wise to permit our
laws to so remain that such things
are possible"
Governor Cummins on satisfying
himself there was nothing more to be
done to prevent the reorganization
scheme, made public the opinion of At.
torney General Mullan and also his
own letter in which he asked that an
opinion be rendered. The letter of the
governor is an interesting documenI,
as it sums up what may be called his
indictment against the reorganization
plan. He takes this ground it is a
grave movement against public policy
and he recounts the different steps in
the proposed watering of Rock Island
securities as he has learned them
through his Investigations.

Merrick was unconscious Of his

He seemed to believe that since he
had in his own mind washed his

dcmption Of mankind from the ills
brought about by this mad desire to
gamble. he was no longer an object
of interest to outside parties.
Perhaps he would ere long be- rude
ly aroused from this dream Of fancied
security.
Fortunately, Jones was there to
have an eye out for breakers-Jones
who was not madly in love with little
Miss Millions, and could therefore
keep his wits about him.
Mark, having won the sweet con.
fession of love from the lips of Con.

Merrick had passed through many
experiences, but there were few
more things for him to learn.
Not finding Constance about the
Casino, he sauntered into the gardens.
Fairy bowers, they certainly were,
and because adversely had struck the
bank for two nights in succession it
was no reason why the myriads of
colored lights should glow less viz.
idly, or the endless profusion of flow
ers cease to exhale delightful per-
fume. Many people wandered about
in certain favorite paths, laughing and
chatting, while the music came In
half-mufled notes from the Casino.
There were some places apparently
deserted.
Perhaps the cool wind from the sea
penetrated these points more keenly
than at others; or else there might
have been an absence Of such pleas

marked the more favored localities.
Merrick began to cast his eye about

like most lovers, he believed it pos
sble to know whether his sweetheart
were near from the peculiar magnetic
influence her presence would have
upon him.

ODD FELLOWS IN PARADE.

Largest and Longest Proessslon Line
Ever essn In iowa
Des Moines. Sept. 1S.-Odd Fellows
who were ut Indianapolis last year de-
clare that the parade In Des Moines
yesterday eQualled the one IN 1901 IN
almost every particular and excelled
It in many features. 1t took eighty.
Ave minutes for the procession to pass
the city hall and 1t was estimated that
there were from 5000 to 10000 in the
line. Had the parade been organized
SO that the participants had marched
In parade formation instead OF ~
lunches It would have lasted three
times as long and been more impress
sive.
But as It was It was the finest pa
rade ever seen In this city, excepting
the one at the reunion of the veterans
of the war Immediately after Its close
1t was well handled from beginning tc
end. The Ave miles of rope stretched
along the streets of the line Of march
enabled the authorities to control the
crowds admirably. There were no &C.
cidents. but brief delays here and
there and satisfied the 100000 people
who saw 1t.
The number in the indianapolis pa.
rade was grossly exaggerated in the
opinion of many of the grand lodge
representatives who have attended
the sessions in that city and here.
They declare that If there were $4,000
in line yesterday here there could not
have been more than half the 10000
claimed for Indianapolis. For instance
there were twice as many Of the uni
form rank in the parade yesterday as
there were in the parade of a year
ago. And the remark was made often
that the number of subordinate lodges
and the number of Odd Fellows in
their ranks greatly exceed the num-
Der at Indianapolis.
It was the greatest parade given in
Des Moines in recent years, and as
spectacle it far surpassed anything
ever seen on the Des Moines streets
The showing made by the Patriarchs
Militant was the feature Of the long
procession. The number of the subor'
dinate lodges was the notable feature
from the view point Of the order.
