to get an honest living by diligent toll.
A great bulk of the people feed them
and contribute to their support. Some
take the trouble to call up the Assoc
ciated Charities and ascertain
first whether or not the person begging
is worthy The Associated Charities Is
pretty we'll Informed on the various
branches of the Gibson tribe and can
usually tell on learning the name,
whether or not they are Gibsons or arc
worthy poor, tho in no case do they
advise giving to the poor who beg from
door to door.
The question that confronts the leg
islature of Iowa is what to do to rem
edy this situation. The late Judge L..
G. Kline studied this question quite
thoroughly and made some careful in
vestigations as to paupers and the re-
production of the criminal classes.
He discovered that there is no
law preventing criminals marrying
and discovered that in an alarming
per cent Of the cases criminal parents
beget criminal children just as in the
Gibson family, Of Des Mones, of which
there is not known one adult male that
does not have a police record of steal
ing or kindred crimes for which he
has served term in the city or coun-
ty Jail or penitentiary. 1t was the the
ory of Judge Kline that the criminal
offspring of criminal parents Is not an
accident, and that the state should pre-
vent criminals and paupers marrying.
He induced the State Bar Association
to endorse bill to prevent such mar
rying and intermarrying, and provid-
ing that no person with a criminal or
pauper record could get a marriage Ii
cense or secure permission to marry,
but the law was never passed by the
and Is opposed by many,
who claim that If prevented from le-
gally marrying such persons live to-
gether anyway, and children would be
born out Of wedlock
The matter is. however, to be pre-
sented to the legislature again. Posi-
bly, not at the coming session, but II
not then, at the one following. The
facts are being gathered now and got
ten in shape and it is hoped that the
legislature may be induced to experl-
ment with some kind of law in the
hope that an end may be put to the
propagation of the criminal and pauper
classes from such families as that of
the Gibson family. some of the mem
bers Of which are known to have bank
accounts. but continue to live off the
public by begging.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, July 5.-The republicans
of Dallas township in Marion county
forgot to select the seven delegates
to which that township was entitled
in the Marion county convention at the
caucus held last Saturday and as a
result there is some question as to
the township participating in the con-
vention. The voters Of the township
met and took vote on preference for
governor. The vote stood 81 for Per-
kins and 20 for Cummins. In the ex-
element the caucus adjourned and
some hours afterward it was discov-
cred that no delegates had been Sc
lected. The caucus may have to be
held over again. Some of the delegates
got together af.erward and made up a
list of delegates to the county con-
vention, but this list is of course not
legal. Six townships are to hold eau
cuses there Friday and Saturday.
Those holding on Friday are: Wash

DIES WHILE SPEAKING
Fourth Of July Orator at Mornin sside
utters a Prophecy and Suddenly
Expires on the Platform From Which
He Was Speaking.

Sioux City, July 5.--Before a crowd
of 1900 people at Morningside yester-
day afternoon, Pierce Ratliff, 6S years
old a pioneer business man, church,
man, and orator, uttered the words,
"Soon I'll shuttle off this mortal place
and go sweeping thru the gates of the
New jerusalem"
At that instant, with a cry of pain.
he fell backwards to the platform,
dying almost instantly.
1t was but few minutes after l
o'clock and the speaker had held the
attention of the crowd for almost two
hours. Being a mission worker, tho
Unidentified with large business inter-
ests, he had accepted the invitation of
the Sioux City Holiness Association to
be their Fourth OF July speaker at their
campmeeting celebration.
Terrified and shocked by the dra-
matte death Of their speaker, men and
women in the audience wrung their
hands, and score knelt in prayer
around the platform on which the
lifeless body lay. Medical assistance
was summoned, but it was found that
death was almost instantaneous, and
from heart trouble.
Mr. Ratliff came to Sioux City thir-
ty-five years ago, but recently moved
to Oskaloosa, Iowa. He has supported
out of his means numerous rescue
missions, and was the principal donor
to one in Sioux City at present.
