Neokuk Chapters of the Daughters of
the American Revolution Hold
an Out of Door
Meeting.
DR.. MoRsE's ADDRESS
Members Of keokuk and Fort Madison
Chapter Gathered and ceIe-
brated the AnnIver-
cary.

The tenth anniversary of the Keo-
kuk chapter of the d. A. R. society
was celebrated on the lawn at Hawkes.
Nest on Saturday, the 10th.
Miss Pittman, regent of the chapter
welcomed the chapter from Fort Mad
ison and reviewed the ten years work.
The keynote of her address was the
fact that the Spanish-American war
ushered the Keokuk chapter into ac-
ton. The national organization was
responsible for the nurses sent to the
conflict and this chapter before it
was legally organized worked with a
vim for that mission Of serving the
wounded. Today, Miss Pittman said,
we hope in case of war that the D. A.
r. would stand as force for peace,
placing her face irrevocably against
ar.
The regent of the Fort Madison
chapter, Mrs. Glazier, replied in grace
full words to the welcome extended by
Miss Pittman. She told of the work
&C their chapter which has been much
in evidence in the last week. They
have laid the corner stone for stone
chimney, o marke the site of the old
fort. After the burning of the fort
this chimney stood many years as a
land mark. The d. A. R. of Fort
Madison will restore it, with COM
memorative tablet in the fire place.
She mentioned also the grave of an
other revolutionary soldier in Lee
county which had been brought to
their notice.
Mrs. Carter. one of the charter
members of the Keokuk chapter. gave
interesting "reminiscences of the or
ganization. She stated that of the fif-
teen charter members, ten are still
active in the chapter here. The note
of regret for those who answer not
crept in like silver threat. but it
was nowhere brought out so distinct

Communicated,

To the Editor of The Gate City.
This is an age of criticism of the
courts of this country, the absolute
bulwark of our freedom and free insti-
tutions. 1t is all uncalled for, without
foundation and reason, based only on
selfishness. The answer to all t.lis
criticism is contained in an editorial
of Joseph A. Cowran in the Rochester
Express that | ran across in Case and
Comment, published in the same city
and which it will do us all good to
read, mark, learn and digest. Certain
classes are great sticklers for rever-
ence for the courts and the law. so
long as the law is interpreted to suit
their interests and their prejudices
and whatsoever criticizes decisions in
their favor is denounced as an enemy

list or an anarchist, but the moment
a court determines an issue in favor

true of the typical capitalist as well
as the typical leabor leader and the
fact is that neither has the right feel.

is anarchistic to this extent-that

hooves us therefore to challenge every
condemnation of the law or Judge that
is prompted by or tainted with per-

1t is a legal maxim that no Judge shall
try a cause in which he is interested.

Is THE BIBLE
THE WORD OF GOD
Subject Treated at Mems Meeting at
Y. M. c. A. by Kew. Ivan Glenn
Frank of kirksvile, Mo.

The largest audience so far this
season assembled at the Y. M. C. A.
auditorium to hear Glenn Frank Sun
day afternoon speak about the "Bib'e
the Word of God" 1t is only proper
to say that Rev Frank is one of the
most interesting young Lien in the oul-
pit today. and after his experience
in evangelistic work and later with
Billy Sunday one cannot help but re-
call some of the familiar scenes of
the tabernacle while Mr. Frank is
talking. He is young man with an
extremely pleasing manner and is a
scholar and an orator and has before
him future of great promise. Many
men present We're loud in their praise
of his great work in the towns and
communities of northeastern Missouri.
Those that failed to hear him yester-
day will be given another opportunity
later during the winter months and
the meeting will probably be of an
evangelistic nature.
The meeting yesterday was the
first of series of three concerning
the bible. Next Sunday there will be
strong speaker from Winona Lake
who will take as his subject, How
to Study the Bible"
The following Sunday will be given
over to the religious work secretary of
Iowa who will speak about How to
teach the Bible"
These meetings are in advance of
the winter schedule of bible classes
and should attract large numbers of
men. Watch the papers and literature
for further announcements concern.

To Telephone Girls.

Chief Anderson states that telephone
girls should give the nearest corner to
the fire and not the street number of
the house. The street number is often
confusing and firemen more often get
muddled in the location of the fire. If
the nearest corner was given it would
be more easily understood. A little
care on the part of telephone girls
about this departure would do away
with many of the difficulties of the
fire department along this line.
