: LOOKER.ON IN IOWA +;

State Center, Dec 22.-sometime ago
the ministerial association OF Boone
passed set of resolutions, in which
they suggested the omission Of all fun
erals on Sunday, whenever it was pos
sible. This has been favorably COM
mented on by many ministers in diff
ferent parts of the state, and the
writer has been asked to call renewed
attention to this proposed reform of all
all too comon custom. One can see at
glance the point of view Of the clerg-
gyman. Sunday is his hardest day and
the growing custom Of funerals on the
Sabbath adds much to his burdens. In
this same set of resolutions was also q
suggestion that no public display be
made of the dead in church or at the
grave, and that the leave takings of
such sad occasions be always in pri-
many readers as very sensible sug-
gestion, and one which generally adopt
ed will omit many painful scenes,
which should not be given the curious
public that gathers at all public fun
erals.
There is growing up in Iowa all asso-
citation, which, in the near future, is
bound to be a strong faction in state

fiuence liquor legislation, to get rid of
the mulct and prohibition laws on our
statute books and in its place have a

TEACHERS AND THE NEW LAW.


The key to the whole thing is in the
fact that most of the failures under
the new law were old teachers. In this
county and in every county, there is a
large class Of teachers who are fos-
sils. Several years ago they taught their
first school, did fairly WELL passed a
creditable examination and have not
done one thing to improve themselves
or their work since, and as a result
they know less and are poorer teachers
than when they began, for the world
has improved and they have not Every
year they come up t6 the institute and
cram and cram and then try and try
until they get a certificate. Then they
go home and devoutly say their little
prayer, Now lay me down to sleep"
until the next examination time when
they become very energetic again.
Every year the county superintendent
has weeded out few of these unfor-
Inmates when they have gone over into
some other county and worked the
county superintendent upon the plea
that they were experienced teachers.
These are the experienced teachers
who have failed.

MISSIONARIES AS ADVERTISERS.

Few of us have ever connected the
missionary with the manufacturer and
the spreading abroad Of the gospel with
future demand for cotton prints and
plug hats. True enough it has been
limited that where the White missionary
carried his religion of hope and healing
j the white liquor seller followed with
disaster and disease, but none of US
y have blamed either Christianity or its
missionary for un-Christian camp fol-
I lowers. However, it appears that the
lone missionary, after all, is a most
valuable commercial factor. and rec
ognized as SUCH. and commercial
men acquainted with the real situation
are earnest in their tribute to the mis-
sionaries for their assistance in devel-
zoping commerce. In "The Missionary

POLICE AND POLITICS.
Davenport Times.1

davenport I1meS.I
If the Davenport police force Is put
under the control OF non-partisan
commission the men who are on the
beats now and who hold down desks
in the city hall ought to be allowed
TO hold their jobs only in the even:
they are found to be competent men
in every way according to the stand
arsd which the commission may fix
for new men. The charges that are
made against the present police force
Is that a number of the men are in
competent. 1t is inconcevable tina:
incompetents should be kept In their
positions after non-partsan COM
mission is given authority over the
police.
AS the decision in regard to who
retained would be made on the mer-
its OF the men alone, there could be
no charge of partisanship in the re-
organization OF the department The
eligibles, in the order of their app1i-
cation and passing Of their examine
tons, would be given the vacancies
In this way an efficient police force
would be assembled. Once organized
on a basis of merit alone and being
under the direction of non-partisan
board so that man could be dis
charged without a hearing, every po-
liceman would attend strictly to his
business and there would be no more
laxity such as has disgraced the city
in recent weeks. There would be nc
hauls of thirty-eight evil doors in one
night. These people would be picked
UP as fast as they drifted into town,
or as soon as they did anything to
cause an Industrious and vigilant po-
liceman to believe they were not law
abiding residents.
The objections to police depart
ment resting on a political system or
organization is that there is always
present with the patrolman the fear
lest he will offend someone with a
pull" with the authorities higher
up" There is tendency to allow
things to run at loose ends until the
word is passed down from above that
theer must be a cleaning up. Then in
a night The police station is filled with
offenders. A politically organized po-
lice department cannot be keyed UP
to the highest tension of activity at
all times.
