Hard On the DelInquents.

The Legislature of the State Of
Iowa has been very liberal in
providing for the education OF her
children; have authorized the levy
of tax to defray the expense of
building school houses, providing
teachers, furnishing books, and IN
intact, providing all things neces-
sary for the convenience and COM
fort of the scholars attending the
public school, to the end that Iowa,
one of the great Statea, if not the
greatest State in the American
Union, shall not be wanting in her
liberality in providing for the ed
ucation of the children of the State
believing as they do, that the high
er the standard of education and
intelligence of the citizen, the low
or the rate of pauperism and crime
among the people Of the State.
Experience has demonstrated
the wisdom of the free school sys-
tenn adopted by the fathers of this
State, and our standard in the ed
vocational world is an honor to the
age in which we live. After all
this munificent provision for the
free education of every son and
daughter of the State, it was found
that a FEW Of the parents neglec-
ted to accept this liberal provision
for the education of their children,
and permitted them to roam the
streets at will, when every consid-
Grafton of public policy and State
pride demands that they should
be in the school room; and under
these considerations the Legisla-
ture of the State, in aspirit of
justice and public policy, provi-
ded a remedy for this non-atten-
dence at the public schools, and If
parents or guardians neglect or
refuse to do their duty to their
children or wards, then the State,
by its legal officer, proposes to en-
force attendance by these delin-
quents.
There is, no doubt, some objec-
ton to enforced attendance, but
time and experience will overcome
and the wisdom of the law will be
indicated. II the State can levy
and collect state, county, teacher,
school house, contingent, and book
taxes, is it asking too much to say
the children must attend the pub
lie schools so munificently provi-
ded at public expense? Is it fair
or just to tax the public for school
purposes and then not utilize the

Next week the Sioux City E!ks' Big

q distinguished guest. There will be
big lodge day on Tuesday Sept %,

Der of members in the line of parade.
In the evening of that day cake walk
will be given and entries have been

this part of the country rs high grade
artists in this form of amusement and
pleasure. Wednesday will be Sioux
Falls and Tri-State day and that even
ing public wedding will take place,
the ceremony to be performed in the
lions den, with roaring lions taking
the places of the customary flower
girls. The management Of the fair
will give cash present of 1926. to the
couple and this will be supplemented
by other handsome presents from local
merchants. Elks and childrens day
will be Thursday Sept 25th and prob
ably the two happiest children in

day. The management of the fair will
give away two Shetland ponies to these
two children on that day and any child
