particular regard. His duty should
be plain to him; this is apparent to
everybody who understands the situ-
alton.
The Morning Astorian does not be-
lieve in protecting gamblers" Pro-
lection IS equivalent to Offering them
inducements to remain here. The ef-
forts of the municipal officials should
be in the opposite direction. If the
large revenue derived from these sourc
es is so necessary and If, as has been
claimed, the city is dependent on il to
support the fire and police department
and pay interest on the bonded indebt-
edness. and. finally, If gambling can
not be eradicated, why not increase
the monthly fines and raise the saloon
license? This would drive out of busi-
ness a large number Of the fraternity
leaving only the So-called respectable
men in business and at the same time
the revenue would not be reduced.
Other reforms would follow in due
course of time.

THE new lecturn presented to tht

on Wednesday evening was fitting
tribute to a woman who in life made
the spreading of Gods word her spec
ial mission. The rector of the church
must have felt comforted when the to-
ken of esteem was formally dedicated,
representing, as it does, the memory
of one dear to MIN in life, so sweet to
him in death. 1t is just such gracious
acts of sympathy and kindness as the
presentation of the handsome piece of
chancel furniture TO Grace Episcopal
church by the members of the guild
and congregation, assisted by the con-
gregation of Holy Innocents church,
that unites the pastor and his flock,
and renders easier the work of both.

A Shameful Condition.

Anyone residing in Ironton must
wonder why those who have been
elected to offices Of Importance by the
SURFACES of the people, should be 80
neglectful Of their duty to the public,
by not trying to protect the rights OF
the citizens. A case in point is the
railroad crossing of the road to Pilot
Knob, by the station. Here every day
the laws of the public safety are dis
regarded and the lives of many are
endangered. Yet no ~remonstrance
from those from whom it could be
rightly expected.
That the local railroad cares moth
ing for the people resident in Ironton
Is manifest by the best train giving
the town the "go-by." It is a matter
Of history that railroads, when it is
possible, never do anything for any
one except the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
wealth for those who W the road
Yet the feeble remonstrance Of a PEG.
pie, who so patiently bear the yoke Of
non-progressiveness, might be of some
use at times, in r~ectifying this awful
evil which any day may cause 9
calamity in Ironton, which by its sud
denness and sorrow might cause pain tt
some least deserving 1t. Let the
| public officials awaken to their duty
and demand Of the Iron Mountain R
r. to cease putting in jeopardy here a
lronton the lives Of innocent people.

Is Osteopathy a Fake?

Der of the 38th General Assembly OF
Missouri. A bill had been introduced
regulating the practice of Osteopathy,
and I had the privilege of hearing
arguments for and against the system.
The members from the northern part
OF the State, physicians of other
schools excepted, advocated and de-
Tended the bill to a man. In private
conversation many Of these gentlemen
related instances of very successful

Arcadia Valley Relief Society.

The attention Of citizens OF Ironton
is called to the fact that the above
society has made collections for the
current month. and that a meeting Of
those who have qualified for member
ship, by the payment Of dues, will be
held at the home of Mrs. Mollie AXE,
March 10th, at 3 P. NJ. All are in
vited to be present to elect officers.
1t is gratifying to note that notwith-
standing the intense opposition of a
few, the society has the guarantee that
it can fill a long-felt want in this com
munity. All movements of progress
are antagonized at first by those who
are unable to progress as time goes on.
1t is only by overcoming the prejudice
OF those who look for their W good
first, that any growth can be made in
the way Of public good. Congratulate
any one who aids in the advancement
of a public be~nefaction, and disregard
all who hesitate because they can no
see what personal glory car be gained
by doing instead Of talking.
