Mrs. Wainwright is wonderfully
preserved lady for her years. She
takes great interest in current events,
and regularly reads the daily papers.
Her eyesight is very good, but of
late her hearing has begun to fail.
Mrs. Wainwright possesses a lovable
disposition and her many old friends
here hold her in very high esteem.
Our people in general heartily con-
graduate her on the event of her Tooth
birthday anniversary.
lit is seldom that we encounter one
who has passed the one hundredth

it was the pleasure of many to meet,
shake hands and exchange greeting
with such one last Tuesday, Septem-

attained the age of 100 years. Fol
about one-half of that time she has
resided III Watertown ana until two
or three years ago, hers was famil.

gifts came as mementoes of the event
A dainty book had been procured and
placed in the care of Miss Evelyr

oEElcERs ELECTED.
Trades and Labor Assembly Holds An
nua! Meeting.


At meeting of the Ottumwa Trades
ard Labor Assembly held in Labor hall
Sunday afternoon officers for the
coming year were elected and the
proposition for Labor day celebra-
ton was Thoroughly discussed and COM
mittees appointed to prepare for the
event There were about 65 dele
gates present and the meeting was an
enthusiastic one.
The Labor day celebration came in
for attention the greater part of the
afternoon. The celebration will be the
biggest thing of the kind ever held in
this part of the state If the determin-
alton on the part Of the delegates and
hard work on the part of the commit
teemen can make it such. 1t was the
opinion of everyone present that OF
tumwa ought and should take the
lead in matters of this kind and that
the celebration this year should not
only surnass anything of the kind ever
held in the past but that it should put
to shame any other event of the kind
held in any part of the state.
To Begin Preparations.
The celebration will probably occur
at Caldwell park although the definite
location was left to the committee on
grounds.
Committees were appointed on ar
rangements, grounds, music. transpor-
tation and advertising, finance and
program. Although Labor day, the
first Monday in September. is over
two months away, the committeeman
were instructed to loose no time and
preparations for the big event will
begin at once.
The Officers.
The result of the election OF officers
was as follows:

Vice President-W l.. Lewis.

Spain Given Lesson.
3 Spain oppressed Cuba by years of
excessive taxation and military brutal
ity, until the civilized world cried out
against it. Our government protested
time and again. against the cruelties
visited upon the people of Cuba by the
Spanish government. These protests
were either unheeded or treated with
contempt. Finally. Uncle Sam said to
Spain that she must treat her wards
with humanity; she must give them the
rights and privileges due a liberty
loving and patriotic people or he would
intervene and make Cuba a free and
independent nation Uncle Sam did
intervene and drove Spain forever from
her last possessions in the Western
Hemisphere. In this action of our gov
eminent we see another phase of the
Monroe Doctrine. We will not permit
European nation to abuse and cruel
ly Cypress its American colonies.
Powers Recognize Law.
1T is probable that in the future
there will be no serious objection to
the Monroe Doctrine, as it is now in
terpreted by our state department, by
the governments of Europe. Russia in
1925 agreed with the United States
that she would make no claim to any
land on this continent, south of lati-
tude 81 degrees, 40 minutes, thereby
recognizing the Monroe doctrine.
Since then she has sold her posses
sions in America and has no ambition
for territorial expansion in this hemis-
phere. Russia will be satisfied for the
present if she is permitted to gobble
up Manchuria. Great Britain has noti-
fled our state department that she
recognizes the principles of the Mon
roe doctrine most fully.
President Roosevelt, in his mes
sage to congress in 1901, said: The
German ambassador has conveyed to
me the information that Emperor Will
liam has no desire or intention to
acquire any territory in any of the
South American states Thus it is
seen that Prussia, one of the most
aggressive of the European nations,
recognizes the Monroe doctrine.
