Mobile and its vicinity. Villages are
LETT with but one or two buildings
standing. Structures in the cities are
damaged and destroyed. More people
lose their lives.
During all of this time Iowa. Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska are permitted
to raise their bumper corn crops, look
the world in the face and say, I'VE are
holier than thou" Are we lucky, or is
our time coming? Are we good. or do
the laws Of nature have something to
do with it?
There is no answer But we can
hardly assume pious attitude and say
to our brothers, you are wicked and
are stricken down. We are good and
are prospered." Vixen nature acts,
prosperity or devastation respond If
1t comes to US we are hardly ready to
admit that the good among us should
suffer for our sins. Let us, for char.
ity's sake at least, say that our broth
ers are unfortunate, ana when OF.
homes and all We have including our
lives are taken by flood or fire, per-
haps they will say the same of us.

COAST TOWNS ARE BAD.

On account of their proximity to the
water or for some other reason, the
coast town are very bad, viewing from
moral standpoint. We are told that
San Francisco was destroyed because
of its wickedness. Everybody knew
that old Frisco was a city of light
hearts, free hearts, good times and bad
times, and it was easy for some to be
convinced that the town had been visit
ed by divine wrath in the form of a
terrible earthquake, bringing terror,
suffering and death to the pious and
the wicked alike.
But, in due time came the second
stroke. This time 1t was at Valparaiso.
where hundreds of lives were lost and
millions of dollars in property were
destroyed. Only few days ago the
typhoon struck the harbor at Hong
Kong, and thousands of deaths resulted
and millions of dollars in property was
again destroyed. Now the storm visits

and succeeded. He had properly an
swered all the inquiries, but the femi.
nine singing tones had prevailed over
MS own speaking voice and reached
the ear of the man at the other end OF
the wire. The anti-singing order was
then issued, and the musical matdens
deprived of the pleasant exhilaration
which had lightened their toll, walked
out Of the shop.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that this
unfortunate affair can be compromised
In some way The dispatch states that
Trenton is far ahead Of New York in
up-to-date knowledge of music, that
"She used to work in the porcelain fac.
tory" Is a gilt-edged diploma for an
aspiring soprano or contralto in Tren-
ton. and that the town has come to be
regarded as a reliable supply station
for managers in search Of girls fitted
to serve as useful and ornamental ad-
juncts to stage performances.
1t will be urged, of course, that bus
mess is business" and that fanciful ac-
complishments cannot be permitted TO
Interfere with the stern demands of
commerce and industry. But there ID
said to be a real scarcity of chorus
girls. much to the embarrassment Of
stage directors and to the regret Of
theater patrons. The porcelain people
have advertised for workers who will
not MARBLE" thus showing their lack of
sympathy with the more sentimental
side of the controversy. And there the
issue stands at present. sharply de-
fined, and with no prospect Of imme-
date settlement.

3. F. WRIGHT, REPUBLICAN

The announcement that B. F.
Wright. editor of the Charter CITY
Press the politics Of which is usually
an uncertain quantity, will run on an
Independent ticket to get into the leg
lslature will surprise no one. The only
surprise is that he received any sup
port to get in on the regular republi.
can ticket. There is no distinct line
drawn at just where he stopped fight
ing the republican party and commenc-
ed supporting it.
He was conspicuous in the precon-
vention campaign and evidently
thought he could be carried in on the
crave. The wave was not high enough
to wash everything over and some
were strangled. Wright was one of
them. Instead O. saying 81 am re-
publican" he repeated the John G..
Kelly obligation and the word came
down the line from Charles City that
ne would run on an independent tick
et
That is more natural for Wright
anyhow. 1t would hardly do for him
to support the entire republican ticket

Y. M. c. A. PARADE,

Hardly anyone in Ottumwa is now
ignorant of the fact that tho Young
Mems Christian association has enter
| ed upon new year Of work, after
such demon stration and parade as
was given to mark the membership
rally.
The association now has an unusual
| ly large membership in proportion to
the size of the city, and now Is making
an effort to increase this enrolment to
one thousand. AS an institution the
Y. M. G. A. is experiencing a wonder
full growth throughout the whole coun-
try, and success is everywhere mark
Ing the movement
1t is divided into three branches, the
city. the railroad and the college asso-
citation. In the colleges the organiza-
tons consist principally of Christian
young men banded together for work,
features that are attached to the city
institution being lacking because they
are available to everyone enrolled in
the college or university and not re-
stricted to the membership of the Y.
M. G. A.
The. city associations are given to the
development of the young mon not
only morally but physically And they
are not only devoted to those ap-
preaching manhood, but are open to
the small boys as soon as they are old
enough to take advantage of the privi-
leges. 1t is natural that with the privi-
leges offered only to those who hold
membership many members are
drawn who participate in nothing Of
the work, only of the privileges. But
that Is what the institution is for. 1t
Is apparently the desire to get as
many into the habit of frequenting the
building as possible even though they
take part in the evangelistic side
of the work. Excellent results are at
tanned thereby, and every community
that has invested in such an institu-
ton feels we'll repaid.
The railway Y. M. G. A. is still farth-
er away from the standard as it is es-
tablished in the colleges. But it has
Its mission to perform. The railways
themselves have taken kindly to the
efforts Of the association to provide
reading and eating rooms for their
employees and often furnish all the
money necessary to erect the build
1ngs From the class Of men that fire.
quent the institutions that are located
in the vicinity of the railroad yards
and shops, it is natural that the at.
mosphere should be different from
those of the city and the college asso-
Citations. But the railroads are spend
Ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
in the aid of thu work, so there must
be some benefit that is apparent to
them,
The Ottumya association is deserv.
ing of encouragement in it's work, es-
pecially at this time when it is enter
ing upon new year, marked by the
membership rally and the great dem.
onstration. There are many institu-
lions that must necessarily be kept up
in city of this size, and the men who
are In the habit of giving to them usu-
ally have very heavy demands made
upon them. For this reason some do
not prosper as others. But this organ
lzatlon Is so well founded that 1t
should so forward rather than back
ward.
