THE YOUNG MEN
MIKE A TOWN
This Is Archie Parker's sug-
gestion---More Letters Boost
ing Marshalltown
BUY At HOME URGED BY MANY
Mr.. Calhoun Thinks Removal of
Freight Rate Discrimination Would
Help Marshalltown-Several Believe
In Buying Home Goods as Best
Method Of Building Up Town.

The free parliament of opinion upon
the present prosperity of Marshalltown
will be closed with several letters to-
day and two at length tomorrow. These
letters were invited by the editor In
the hopes that some suggestions of
value would come. Today Mr.. Parker
makes one strong point that the young
men make town rather than the rich
men. Mr. Calhoun calls attention to
the fact that the right kind of legisla-
ton at Washington could remove
freight rate determinations and bring
the big factories to Marshalltown OF
their own accord. Mr.. Bentley says
some one ought to build new houses to
rent. Mr.. Stanton and Mr.. Smith, both
advise people to buy at home and build
up what we have before we go chas-
ing off for new enterprise.
Saturday, the T.-R. will close the
series with a letter from his Honor the
mayor and one from George Gregory.
This will be good time TO quit, SO no
more are requested.

YOUNG Men Make a Town.

Archie Parker believes that young
men with enterprise are worth more
to town than rich men. He says:
I'VE have often heard 1t said Mar
shalltown has very few rich men. and
many think that is what Marshalltown
needs. do not think so. The rich
man without public spirit is no help to
any town. Let us look around us and
see. The advancement that Marshall-
town has made in the past twenty five
years has been made thru the efforts
of comparatively poor men. The small
factories that are now in operation
here have with very few exceptions
been established by men of small
means. But thru their push and en-
ergy the city has gained it's reputa-
ton. We need more of such factories.
Contrast them with the large enter
prises that has come to us from abroad
demanding concessions from our peo-
pie. We waste our time and money
when we give these fy-by-night con-
Germs any consideration.
1--WE are told that every man must
work out his own salvation, and SO
must every town. If all the money
made in Marshalltown had been invest
ed here instead of In western and
southern land, what a difference we
would see in our town today.
what Marshalltown needs. in my
estimation, is more young, progressive,
public spirited business men, who Will
work together, without regard to fac
ton or location.

Berry,.

Berry,
Mrs. Belle Berry, wife of George
Berry of Liscomb, died Thursday night
at $50 Of cancer Of the
stomach, after an illness OF
several years. One year ago this
month Mrs. Berry underwent an oper-
alton for cancer, but the trouble was
not relieved. Mrs. Berry was native
of Mendoza, Ill., and was 40 years of
age. She was married at Oskaloosa on
April 9, 1876 and with her husband had
made her home at LiscomNb during the
past six years. Until Mrs. Berry's
health broke down completely she and
her husband conducted a hotel at Lis
comb. Mrs. Berry is survived by her
husband and five children, Mrs. Maude

THE LAMklN MEETINGS.
Wide and Profound Interest Has Beer
Awakened by Baptist Evangelist.

Awakened by Baptist Evangelist.
The meetings at the Baptist church
have awakened wide and profound
interest in the community. DR.. Lam
kin's manner of preaching is widely
divergent from that of the ordinary
evangelist. 1t is so enninently from
the Bible that his position on any ques-
ton is unassailable. Whether he is
denouncing worldly follies of Chris
tians, or portraying the lost condition
of the impenitant, it is conceded by
each listener that his position is I'M
assailable.
Yesterday afternoon he spoke on the
family. The four safeguards men
toned were a family Sabbath, family
Bible. family altar, and a family heav-
en-.
In the evening the basis of his re-
marks was that the moral condition OF
the race, and the incessant struggle
man must always make to incorporate
into conduct any good thing, are due
entirely to the evil workings of sin.
At each evening service decisions
are made and the total Of these is
large.
The character Of the work is such as
to Justify the expectation of perman-
ancy. There are no sensational meth
DDS, no undue urging by personal
workers, but deeply serious work in
thought, spirit and conduct.

first ciass way of handling it, Our city
is now lighted second to none. We
have at least ten good healthy factories
doing such a business that each year
they are forced to enlarge and employ
more help, ard the more help is what
fills up our houses, and when our
cheaper class of houses are all occu-
pied that insllres live hustling town.

Buy at Home Saws Stanton.

Mr.. J. e. Stanton thinks we can
build up ur ohome factories much fast
er than we can get new ones by buying
everything at home. He says:
while my opinion may not be of any
benefit to the city l have some very
pronounced views in regard to certain
things In the first place all communi-
ties flourish best which work in har-
mony and pull together for the upbuild-
ing of the city and strive to help each
other. For instance, if our pickle works
could supply the people of Marshall
county with all the goods they use in
that line they would be obliged to in
crease their capacity at least one-half
and employ more people. If all the
printing used in Marshalltown was
done at home there would not be
enough printing offices in MARSHALL
town to do the work. They would be
obliged to employ more help or We
would have to have more printing Of
fees. Cheese factories, creameres and
flour mills could employ hundreds of
laborers if they could supply all the
goods used in our community.
Another thing, If our we'll do
citizens would try and influence their
wives (eNery man SIloulu nave q 'St
tain amount of influence with his Wlfe)
to purchase all their dry goods. fnr-
niture and carpets at home instead or
making frequent trips to Des Molnes
and Chicago to do their shopping, the
stores would be obliged to carry larger
stocks and employ more help. l know
of several ladies whose husbands are
dependent almost entirely on Mar

fall, did their fall and Christmas shop
ping in another city. I don't want to
be considered as registering a Kick or
throwing a brick but am simply trying
to cast out the beam in the other fell
lows eye SO he can see clearly to pun
out the mote that is in my own eye.
1--WE don't need to give money for
new factories; patronize the ones we
have, and others will follow The
brooms used in Marshall county would
employ ten to twenty-five men to make.
Let the merchant push home manufac~
tured goods: let the people demand

The present rules governing elections
necessitate the members being at the

members of the association favor the
present rule, but those living in other
parts of the state will work hard to
substitute the proxy amendment, in
order that they will not have to attend

Look to Your Freight Rates.

Mr.. w. H. Calhoun sees great bene-
fits to Marshalltown In government
rate regulation as proposed by Pres1-
dent Roosevelt. He says:
81 have been reading the articles of
your Booster Club with great interest.
All the letters so far published are
very good and all contain good sugges-
tions There are still several items
untouched. When you look at the map
we find Marshalltown located in the
center of Iowa, with main lines Of rail-
ways reaching out in every direction,
and connecting with all the principal
commercial railway lines of our coun-
try. Now let our congress pass an in
terstate commerce law that will pre-
vent Determinations Of railway rates,
which we are likely to have this ses-
sion Of congress. Let us try to secure
it at least. Then we Will have large
factories as well as the small ones,
talked of by our friends. The large
factory will come because the market
for It's product is here at it's door.
"They would come because land
rents are-less expensive than in our
large cities. They would come be-
cause labor strikes and difficulties are
less frequent; with living expense
much cheaper. Think of the farm i'm
plement trade alone for Iowa, which
should be manufactured in our state
and will be largely when there is no
more discrimination in rates.
Therefore I think this of vast i'm
portance and would suggest that each
of our friends, boosters of MARSHALL
town, write a letter to each Of our SEN
ators and representatives in congress,
urging them to action on this line.
This would benefit the whole state.
Marshalltown, the heart and center,
would be benefited most. MARSHALL

schools, churches, ETC., a clean and
healthy city, has no superior Of it's size

Halle Thompson, aged is, eldest son OF
Mr., and Mrs. Harry Thompson, living
one and one-half miles northeast OF

was supposed to be tonsilitis until the
case was diagnosed by physician
Tuesday night. The lad had been i'll
for a week or more, and as the other
children had had tonsilitis. and had not
been very i'll, but little was thought OF
the sickness. The lad grew worse,
however, and Tuesday night a physl-
clan was summoned. The case was
pronounced diphtheria, which was then
in such virulent form that treatment
awaited nothing. Death resulted at l:2o
o'clock. The plans for the burial nave
