The People To Decide.

There has been some criticism of The
present mayor and council over grant
ing an extension of the Street Car
franchise. To prevent all criticism II
the future regarding the granting OF
franchises and leave the matter en-
tlrely with the people, there is being
circulated in the East End by Asst.
City Atty. Hudnall petition to sub
NIT to vote at the coming election
the question Of adopting what is
known as the referendum law. Similar
petitions are being circulated in other
parts of the city. This law provides
that franchises not be granted until
bids have been advertised for and
then only TO those who will pay the
largest per cent of their gross earn
ings to the city. In other words al
franchises are to be sold at public auc
ton to the highest bidder
In order to adopt this referendum
law petition signed by ten per cent
of the electors has to be filed with the
city clerk twenty days before election
and the question submitted to a vote
of the electors at the coming election.
If majority vote in favor of it, it is
then adopted.

James Moran.

James Moran died at st. Francis
hospital last evening after short i'll
ness. Last week Saturday he was
stricken with paralysis while at the
home of Frank Bennett on West Sixth
street, and was afterwards removed
to the hospital, where he received the
best of medical aid and care.
Mr.. Moran was so years of age, a
man well known at the East End and
especially among railroad men. He
was an engineer, and was for long
time on the Omaha, but later has been
employed by the Eastern Minnesota,
and at the Barge works.
About four years ago his wife died
leaving with him there two daughters
Misses Esther and Anna, who are now
called upon to mourn the loss of a
kind and devoted father. They have
the sincere sympathy of the COM
munity as James Moran was a man re-
spected and beloved by all who knew
him.
The funeral will be held from the
home of Frank E. Bennett 354 West
Sixth street tomorrow al 800 p. m.
and will be under the auspices OF
Masonic order and interment in Ne
madji cemetery.

Burned the Mortgage.

The Morgan Methodist church which
Tor long time has been covered by a
large mortgage, which the congrega
tion have tried in years gone by to
iilt, was the place of Notification
meeting Sunday at which time the
long dreaded mortgage of So 600, was
burned with appropriate ceremonies
a4d the church for the first time freed
from debt.
In introducing the first speaker At
torney Henry S. Butler, Rev. A. M.
lfestad the pastor said that had it
hot been for the support and help ex-
tended to the church by this gentle
man, there would be no occasion for
the services as he firmly believed that
The hitting in the mortgage was due in
large measure to Mr.. Butler.
After the speaking came the burn
ing of the mortgage. The trustees of
the church marched in with the docu-
ment which was once so dreaded,
borne high above them on a large
plate and to the song Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow the
mortgage which has for years been
the cause of great anxiety, was lighted
and as it slowly burned the scene was
most impressive one The words of
the song took on deeper meaning
and all present realized that they had
great reason for thanksgiving that
at last their beautiful place of worship
is free from debt.

Christian Science Lecture.

The Mancelona (Mich.) Herald had
this TO say of lecture delivered in
that town by Mr.. Kimball:
~ large audience responded to the
invitation to the lecture given by Ed
ward \. Kimball, of Chicago, on
Christian Science. BY request, ii. Il.
Hudson introduced the speaker. The
address by Mr.. Kimball proved him
TO be perfectly familiar with the
principles of the society which he
represents, and in Il clear and CON
else manner ne endeavored to eN-
plain them to his hearers. The au-
dience gave close attention to his
remarks and went away feeling that,
whether or not they were stronger
believers in the doctrines of Chris
tian Science, they at least had a
clearer idea of the teachings and
practices of that society"
Edward \. Kimball will give n
Christian Science lecture at the llli-
nois theatre. Rock Island, Thursday

RacnrdInp Pore Water.

The necessity of an ample supply
of wafer on every farm and in every
household is acknowledged by all.
Water is as necessary to the sus-
tenance of animal lie as the air we
breathe or the food we consume.
Our very bodies are composed to 4
great extent of water. Water is
the great agent used to carry on the
functions of the vital organs. As
water forms so large part of ami
NAL life it will be seen that it is
very important that this vital fluid
shall be pure WHITEWATER not con-
taminated by anything deleterious
TO health. How is pure water to be
obtained.' This has always been an
important question, and never more
so than at the present day where
science is so generally be-
ing developed and understood. To
reach the living springs of pure
water which nature prepares for
man modern well drilling is the sani-
tary means. You can do it very reas-
onably more so perhaps than you
think. Write us and inquire.

knowledge of books is not always
education and the undivided pursuit
of knowledge of this sort is rather
harmful than beneficial. Education
consists i'm knowing ones relation TO
other men and the converse and il
often happens that the common la
boring man * better versed in the
ordinary relations of life than the
Isavant. Labor is duty every indi-
vidual owes to society! Society
meets the dual wants of man for the
material and the moral. Isolated
families and individuals may exc out
a brute-Iike existence but no moral
life can abound if. indeed, exist,
under such conditions. Material
Subsistence will preserve the indi-
vidual but not the society. Physical
wants -iIlake us labor to live; moral
precepts elevate us above the mere
physical satisfying of desires and
point us to the duties to our fellow
men. Society intricately unites the
natural man in the natural world
and the spiritual man in the spiritual
world
THE evolution of society and the
progress of civilization from state
of primitive communities to the
present complex organization has
been through the process OF mans
gradual conquest over external ma
ture, thus making possible an in
creasingly higher type of society in
which the worthier spiritual in
stincts of man have developed. Ac
companying this civilization of en-
larged possibilities is an increased
number of wants which bring with
them a greater labor of attainment.
Hence labor cannot cease.
Labor and enjoyment of labor are
not antagonistic. The ultimate so
luton will be a further evolution of
the Individual by means of better
education in kind and amount and
the progress of social organization
entaiIing better economic conditions.
Then and only then will labor cease
to be drudgery and pleasure accom-
pany the production of utilities for

LABOR FOR THEME
Principal ]. F. Darby Speaks Be-
fore Meeting of the
Mothers Club.
NECESSITY FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Work UnfoIds the Better
Than Parasites OF
Society.

y most interesting meeting of the
Mothers club was held II the par
Tors of the Broadway Presbyterian
church last evening, the regular time
and place having been changed in
order TO accommodate a number VINO
were on the program. The meeting
opened with a vocal solo by Mrs.
William UlIemeyer.
J. F. Darby. principal of the Rock
Island high school made the
chief address of the evening on the
subject The Dignity of Labor. .,
which he treated in it's special rela-
ton To the need of teaching manual
training in the public schools. His
discussion occupied about an hour
and was n most able one. He said
in part:
There is no line of demarcation
between mental and bodily labor,
but in the present discussion i pro-
pose to treat the term as manual
effort directed to some useful end
Thus interpreted. labor cannot and
should not cease i'm this world.
Mans dependence upon external ma
ture forbids it and there are other
reasons. In all states of society
some are above the necessity of
mere labor and as the scale of civil
zation rises this class increases in
number. But apart from the neces-
sity of supplying more physical
wants. labor is necessary to every
being. 1t unfolds the individual.
Those who are compelled to work are
far better off than the parasites of
society.
