According to President F. c. Norton's
Figures Marshalltown's Club and the
Microbes Today Stand Tied for Sec
ond Place.

| According to the figures given the
Times Republican by President Frank
c. Norton. of Burlington. late Friday
evening. the local club and Waterloo
stand today tied for second place. eacn
with a percentage of .5SS. The corrected
standing of the clubs. based on Pres
ident Norton's figures. will be found In
the usual column on this page.
These figures furnished differ in the
case of MarshaIltown. from what have
been used here, but are the same in
Waterloo's case. That the fans may
understand clearly this claim the tele-
grams sent and received are given be-
low. The Times Republican wired Mr..
Norton Friday morning as follows:
Please wire to date games play
ed. won and lost, Marshalltown
and Waterloo"
In reply the following telegram was
received, too late for publication yes

Marshalltown played 90, won 81.

BY what method Mr.. Norton has
figured that Marshalltown had only
played ninety-six games up to Friday
Is not known. The Times Republican
has in its office. exclusive OF Fridays
game, 4 record of ninety-eight games
played during the season. The only
possible superstition is that Norton
has thrown out two games played
during the year. but has not
notified the local association.

most important factor in municipal de-
velopment in Iowa, and that it's work
is appreciated by the municipal officials
of the state.

LOCAL COMMENT

A gentleman from this city who had

day, took especial notice of the display

terloo business men, whose special
train and steam calliope We're heralded
/ in an advertising way from one end
/ of the state to the other. This mans
observations were to the effect that
1 Waterloo's display at the fair was
/ largely a matter of advertisement He
says that while Marshalltown did not
make such blow over her enter
prises represented by exhibits, they
created equally as much interest, ex-
cepting perhaps the calliope. There
was not firm represented at the fair
from Waterloo, the Marshalltown man
says, that Is as prominent in a business
way, or as prosperous and on as sub
stantial foundation as half dozen
of our Marshalitown institutions.
While Marshalltown manufacturers
are slow TO toot their calliopes they
are doing business in quiet way
Each could borrow to advantage from
the other.

/ AhG RAVSANchh oaAN'
The place where we now are has won
a double distinction. Here was fought
one of the great battles Of all time,
and here was spoken one Of the few
speeches which shall last through the
ages. AS long as this republic endures
or it's history Is known, so long shall
the memory of the battle OF Gettysburg
likewise endure and be known; and as
long as the English tongue is under
stood, so long shall Abraham Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech thrill the hearts Of
mankind,
The Civil war was a great war for
righteousness; war waged for the
noblest ideals, but waged also In thor
oughgoing, practical fashion. 1t was
one of the few wars which mean, In
their successful outcome, lift toward
better things for the nations of man
kind, Some wars have meant the tri-
umph of order over anarchy and IL
centiousness masquerading as liberty;
some wars have meant the triumph Of
liberty over tyranny masquerading as
order; but this victorious war of ours
meant the triumph Of both liberty and
order, the triumph of orderly liberty,
the bestowal OF civil rights upon the
freed slaves, and at the same time
the stern insistence on the supremacy
Of the national law throughout the
length and breadth of the land. More
over, this was one Of those rare con-
