| ant word for everyone and while he is
of such a positive turn of mind that
he will have to pry himself open with
a philosophical crow bar i'm order to
admit sufficient argument to prove TO
himself that he is wrong, yet Colonel
| Parker always retains the highest re-
spect for the fellow who sticks just
as firmly to the other opinion. Judge
Burnham will have no trouble coop
Grating with Judge Parker He will not
| need to meet him even half way. There
will be an honest effort to bring about
that uniformity of judicial decisions in
this district which MIR. Ebersole de-
sireS.
Rev Smith has made a decision this
week in which he has demonstrated
that his purpose in life and in the
ministry is to accomplish works rather
than draw a salary. The Lincoln pas
torate offered to him was that of
larger church al larger pay. 1t would
have been easy for an ambitious man
to argue that he had been offered a
larger field where such talents as his
could be devoted to greater results. but
he put away temptation and argued
that the one purpose in his coming TO
Marshalltown was to build up ms
church here. This church has long
needed a corstructionist. ana Rev.
Smith has begun to get results. He
has but to 'persevere and he viii WIN.
He is Young man and he Will ina
that when he has completed full task
here the larger opportunities Will un-
fold themselves again. The ministry
is one profession in which you can't
keep good man down.
In the meantime. Marshalltown peo-
pie rejoice in the possession OF
preacher like Rev. Smith. He is
builder and a constructive reformer
He is building up a church society.
They say he has even captivated the
city administration. for the reason that
where he sees something to commend
in the efforts the mayor Is exerting to
give the city good government. he takes
the trouble to go around to the mayor
and tell him he appreciates what is
being done. Tie chances are that II
this preacher ever wanted something
done. the mayor and his administra-
ton would try much harder to do it
than they would for the preacher who.
thru mistaken zeal. censures public Of
ficers unjustly Rev. Smith is live
man. appreciated in live town.

Mr.. C. NJ Coleman has followed A.
l.. Higgin in movement which ougm
to command a following among all
Marshalltown travelling men, viz. when
he reached the point in his career at
which he could get off the road" he
invested in business in Marshalltown.
Both men will succeed. Marshalltown
people will see that they succeed Tho
rest of the Marshalltown travelling men
should boost for the business which
each has undertaken. The travelling
men of this city are among the most
important business element in our
population If they would exhibit IN
boosting for their town one per
cent of the enthusiasm which H.
w. Shove has shown in building up
real estate values in his neighborhood.
they could build up every institution
and do it largely with "hot air"
The young lady who won a valuable
piano in contest this week has Of
fered an example Of industry and per-
severance which should he of great
value to others. To conceive of $500
words from certain set Of letters is
no small task. To 'transcrtbe them
and present them to the judges with
out a single error to be found shows
wonderful care and application. 1t is
an evidence of one Of the results of
system OF public school instruction OF
which there has been some question.
Miss Wells has really earned her pi-
ano since her training for this contest
began several years ago.
The reference which Mr.. McFar-
land makes in his interview today re-
garding Marshalltown's mayor and Its
credit at the banks will permit OF am
plification When Mayor Ingledue took
his seat one of the first official acts
was to sign mortgage on city resi-
estate in order to raise money with
which to redeem city warrants, the
banks there had to be solicited to take
them at discount. Today city war
rants are currency at any bank. The
of the city has been re-
duced from s102.769 to $77.051 or
reduction of s25717 in one year and
half of the present administration.
