Making the Bad

Ones "Sidcstep"
Keeping order in the Canal
Zone, or at least in a portion Of
it is the task which f. s. Car
rison has allotted himself, by
reason of the position cf Judge
which he row lolds. 1t has
been the practice - prAviNlls
administrative officials to let
offenders off with fires for
their misdemeanors, and Judge
Garrison discovered before he
had been there long that the
Jamaica negro rather gloried
in having paid a fine, and POSED
as a sort of an aristccrat, after
having contributed to the pub
lie exchequer through the
channel of the court.
Acting upon this idea Judge
Garrison sends the offenders to
Jail with a work sentence which
involves labor on the rock pile,
and this treatment has reduced
the number of offenders to a
considerable extent. Prisoners
sentenced by Garrison did
$1,000 worth of work on the
roads of Empire where he
is located.
Mr.. Garrison writes US that
while he had 158 cases in De-
cember he only had 100 in Jan
uary, so his method of proceed
ure is being adopted by other
courts there and the Canal
Zone is being cleaned up.

cases since the first of Deem
ber, and he w'ites, 81 guess

Editorial Meeting

|
About twenty-five members
OF the Southwestern Iowa Edi-
torial Association met yester-
day in the Carnegie Library
auditorium in Council Bluffs.
The morning trains were nearly
all late and the program was
not commenced on schedule
time. However the first num-
was finished before the dinner
hour. Immediately after lunch
a paper on Newspaper Adver-
tislng" written by q. H. Leffert
a prominent jeweler. was read
before the meeting by R. G..
Clark of the Red Oak Sun, Mr..
Leffert being unable to be pre-
sent. The paper was full of
good thoughts on advertising.
"UIntidy ads are the forrunner
of an untidy business was the
strong sentiment Of the paper,
stating that a person to receive
the most benefits from adver-
tising should take pains with
the copy and make it a point to
bring the item clearly before
prospective buyers. Mr.. Lef-
fert is a great believer in print
er's ink and has built up a very
large business in Council Bluffs
and vicinity through his pre-
sistent advertising. After this
followed some discussion on the
new law relating to the sub
scription list of newspapers.
Some of the members were of
the opinion that this law would
be of benefit to legitimate
newspapering and it was the
intention of the government to
cut down the list of many pap
ers which are sent through the
mails merely to get higher ad-
vertising rates on account of
circulation. J. R. Graham, of
Malvern, then read a paper on
"The Clubbing List which was
severe denunciation of the
practice of clubbing with other
papers and thus reducing the
price and perhaps value of
ones own paper. Rev. Jacobs
of Silver City, read a paper en-
titled "Press and Pulpit" which
was one of the features Of the
program. He stated 4',at the
ministers Of the gospel and the
newspaper men could be of
great benefit to each other and
that the spirit of antagonism
Should be eliminated. This
paper brought out several ex-
cellent discussions and Mr..
Jacobs was thanked for being
pre- sent and presenting such a
fine paper.
Senator w. d. Jarnison of
Shenandoah, was to have &c
llvered an address on "What

sent.

COMMERCIAL, c
CLUB BANQUET

The First Annual Banquet Of
the Commercial Club a
Great Success
The first annual banquet of
the Mo. Valley Commercial
Club was held last night at the
Masonic hall, and it surely was
a pleasant success.
At 7::45, President Anderson
called the club to order and
stated that a short business
session would be held before
the program of the evening
was commenced. The annual
election of officers was the first
thing to come before the bust
ness meeting and the following
officers were elected:
President, C. H. Deur; Vice
President, H. c. Heckert; Sec
retary, Harry p. Boies;; Treas
urer, w. D. Cody; Executive
mittee, j. S. Dewell, j. S.
McGavren, J. G. Schulmeister,
Fred Heath, j. j. Amen. AS
this was all the business to
come before the club, President
Anderson announced that the
meeting was adjourned and
those present were invited into
the banquet hall.
Victor p. Bender, of the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil, had
been invited to make the prin-
cipal speech of the evening.
He was met at the depot by a
committee and escorted to the
place of meeting, where he
mel a large number of the
business men of the city, as
we'll as many old friends.
At 9 o'clock the members of
the club and their guests to
the number of 125, entered the
banquet hall and were seated
at three tables extending the
full length of the hall. A four
course supper was served, ten
members of the Seminole Club
doing the serving, and the
boys surely proved themselves
capable of taking a job in Del
monico's or Sherry's by the
way they handled the, soup
bowls and coffee urns. The
banquet without doubt was one
of the finest ever served in this
city to so large a number Of
people. After justice had beer
done to the good things on the
bill of fare, and the tables had
been cleared, cigars were
passed around to the guests.
President Anderson an
nounced that Prof. Beveridge
had been selected as toastmas-
ter of the evening and the
meeting was turned over to
him. In an eloquent and inter
esting talk of ten minutes, he
thanked the club for the honor
conferred on him by his selection
as toastmaster. He announced
that the first thing on the pro-
gram would be talk by the re-
tiring president, John Ander-
son, who responded to the toast
"What the Commercial Club
has done and can do for Mo.
Valley" The speaker told of
the many enterprises the club
had assisted in this city-of the
work the members had done,
and of the money that had
been raised among the mem
bers of the club for the carry
ing on of the work in which
the club was taking an interest.
He told of the many things
that were yet left for the club
to do, and advised every men,
ber to put his shoulder to the

wheel, and work as one man
for the upbuilding of Mo.
Valley.
The POSTMASTER then intro
duced Mr.. Victor E. Bender, OF
the Council Bluffs Nonpsreil
who talked for half an hour or
the benefits to be derived by a
city from a working, hustllng.
commercial club, and told what
had been accomplished by the
commercial club of his city
He advocated the federation OF
the commercial clubs of west
ern Iowa, claiming that by the
clubs of this part of the state
working together that much
good could be done for the
whole W. stern part of the state.
N-. Pa,aar made an eloquent
and ie.ass's ;ng talk -one that
surely xiii have the effect #
putting enthusiasm into the
members of the Mo. Valley
Commercial Club. AT the cen
clusion of his talk, Hon. j. S.
Dewell, i'm a few minutes talk
moved that a vote of thanks he
rendered Mr.. Bender for lis
able address. The vote was
enthusiastically and unanimous
ly carried.
w. ]. Burke, of the State
Savings Bank, then responded
to the toast, "Public Utilities. .
Mr.. Burke's talk was in a very
humorous vein and he kept the
audience in great good humor
for ten minutes, interspersing
his talk with several good
stories.
Master Mechanic Pratt, of
C. & N. w. responded to the
toast, "The Railroads Relation
to the City," His talk was
along the lines of what the
railroads had done in this city,
what they are likely to do and
what they thought was their
just dues from the citizens of
the city. The talk was one of
the most interesting ones of
the evening, and Mr.. Pratt told
several very good and humor-
Gus stories while talking. The
club members were we'll pleas
ed with his reference to what
he had done in the way of set
ting before the management of
the C.. & N. w. the merits of
this city as the proper place for
their repair shop. The speech
was interesting and instructive
and every person present was
more than pleased with it.
DR.. Colt then responded to
emo. Valley in the 7O's." Dur
ing his talk he recited many in
cidents of the early days in
this city how the physician
"got the worst of it, in those
days when he lad to make a
night ride out on the Missouri
bottom. His talk was listened
to ",''h great interest by TIE

only 20 or 25 years. When the
Doctor gets up to address an
audience he always Aee "Senrc-
thing good" to tell them and
his talk last night was no ex-
ception to this rule.
The newly elected President,
C. H. Duer, was then called up
on and made a short talk in
which he thanked the club for
the honor conferred upon him,
and promised to give his best
efforts to the interests of the
Commercial Club and the City
of Mo. Valley for the next
year.
