LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.
Characterizes Him as True Friend
of the Worklncman.

(F'rom the Concord On. H.) Monitor.)
The Labor World comes out strongly
III Its advocacy of Mr.. Taft 1t charac-
terizes him true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks OF Mr..
Gompers Will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world.
1t says: THAT Secretary Taft is true
friend of labor Ia certain, and oil the
untrue, ungenerous vicious attacks
that President Gompers Or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have itself split up into fac
tons on this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers is wrong In forcing this
most omlnous fight is certain, and in
telligent wage workers will certainly
come to this conclusion"

FOOT BALL
COMES NEXT
DENlSON HIGH SCHOOL WILL HAVE FAST
TEAM THIS YEAR.
FIRST GAME NEXT SATURDAY
Wall Lake the Victim. Denison Boys vii
Meet Ida Grove, Council Bluffs, Jefferson
And Other Crack Teams.

The prospects for winning H. S..
football team have not been SO bright
for years as they are now. All of
last years team is back except two
guards. center and one halfback, and
there is lot of new material from
which to choose. The team will not
be heavy, but will be the fastest
which has defended the purple and
gold for some time.
The high school is member of
the State High School Athletic as
ISOLATION now. and SO it is possible to
secure games with the good teams of
the safe. Games with Ida Grove,
Council Bluffs and Jefferson have
already been arranged, and possibly
other games may be arranged with
some of the good teams of the state.
About twenty-five boys are train
ing. and the lineup of the team is
not known definitely as yet. but
probably the old men will play their
old positions.
The Daniels boys seem to have the
two end positions securely "cinch-
ed. - Menagh and Strain are pretty
sure of jobs at tackle and Nielsen
promises to be a star at center.
Kelsey, Cushman and Orem will pro-
badly fill the guard positions and
Richardson will probably make good
at quarter. Paul Tranter will do the
line smashing in his usual fashion,
and Heiden. Ralph Tranter, Romans
and Nicholson furnish excellent
material for halves.
The boys make a we'll balanced
team of strong, clean, gentIemanly
PLAYERS. Here's to their success.
The first game is with Wall Lake at
Denison, Saturday, Sept. 26. Turn
out and give the boys your support.

Campaign Funds.

Eve welcome Mr. Taft to this adj

Of his numerous interviews since the
Denver convention. The ground refer
red to is Mr. Taft's statement that no
campaign contributions would be re-
ceived from corporations Mr.. Bryan
intended to convey the impression that
Mr.. Taft had come to that determina-
ton after the Denver convention. In
that the Democratic peerless one is
not honest. Mr.. Taft is law abiding
citizen. Such contributions are unla w.
full, made SO by law passed by Re
publican congress at the instance Of a
Republican administration of which
Judge Taft was part six months be-
fore the Denver convention. Be hon
est Mr. Bryan, If you can!

prominent men of the west side of
the county he was warmly welcomed
by host of friends who met him
at the fair. On last Sunday he was
given the morning hour at the M. E.
church at Dow City and conveyed the
greetings of sister churches to the
membership there. He spoke of
some of his experiences while abroad
specially dwelling on the thought
that we have no abiding city here

SCHOOLS
WILL RALLY
3OTH WILL BE BIG DAY FOR
UNITED SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
CITY WILL BE CANvASSED
Every Home Will Be Visited And Young And
Old Invited To Go To Sunday
Schools

The Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist Sunday Schools will have
their formal opening on Sunday.
September 30th. The schools will
cooperate in the work of advertising
and seeing that every family is invited
but there will also De sharp rivalry
among the churches to see which can
secure the largest membership.
We would suggest that st one
o'clock, at the close of the Sunday
School hour the three schools Join
in a brief procession just to show
the people of Denison what the Sun
day Schools are doing.
No man is we'll educated unless he
knows something of the bible. bible
characters and bible history. Tc
enjoy good literature one ought tc
know something of Greek mythology.
but it is OF much greater Importance
to know the facts of bible history
and to be familiar with the names.
the places and the events of bible
history. This is purely the intellectual
and educational side of bible study.
Under our laws the teaching of the
bible is not part of our public
school course, home training usually
lacks system and persistence and the
only practical means of having chill
dren instructed in this most important
and interesting book of the worlds
literature, is through the Sunday
School.
The ethical and religious side has
been dwelt upon so often that it
would seem needless to say more.
No child is hurt by going to Sunday
School which ought to be made of
sufficient interest that children will
be glad to attend.
Harm may be Gone by forcing
children to attend against their will
until they develop a defined
hatred for the very inside of church.
These cases are rare however, and
teachers and parents who understand
children at all can usually over come
the objections of childhood without
much trouble.
No matter what your own views
on religious matters, it is only fair
to give the child a chance to decide
for himself. Further it is unfair to
deprive him of the only practical
source of learning that bible history
without which no man today car
call himself we'll educated. We
trust that all the little ones of thu
city will find their way to some
Sunday School this winter and tina
parents will encourage them t.
regular attendance.
Be ready for Orally Day ant
help the church of your choice b
your attendance.

The Corn and Chicken Show.

The Poultry Association and the
Commercial Club are both taking an
active interest in making the Decem-
Der show this year eclipse anything
this section of the state has ever
known. The prizes this year are all
to be in cash and are to be larger
than last year. Denison business
men have raised guarantee fund of
$500 to meet the expense. A new
feature will be prizes for "Utility
Birds. - These need not to be
thoroughbreds and any farmer who
has good chickens can bring them in
regardless of pedigrees. The corn
prizes this year will be especially
attractive.

THE ARION MIX-UP.

The peace of nations has been
threatened by an incident of the Arion
fair in which a peace officer, ratified
at the guying which man more used
to the job would have known was
always the fate of peace officers and
umpires, grabbed Denison business
man by the collar, and hailed him
before Mayor Conrad, where he was
promptly released with no charge
against him.
w. A. Lamborn, who has gained
an enviable reputation in Denison as
quite. modest. sober and gentle
manly young business man was the
unfortunate victim and Jack Ahart
vas the officer who defended his
dignity so strenuously. Mr.. Ahart
tells us he is sorry that the trouble
occurred although he holds Mr.. Lam
born partially to blame.
Mr.. Lamborn appeared before the
board of directors of the Fair AS
ISOLATION on Monday and demanded
some statement that would set him
right with the public. This was
refused and we understand that a
lawsuit is apt to result. President
Rae held that Mr.. Lamborn had not
been arrested and that no charge was
lodged against him.
For our own part we think too
much has been made of this affair.
We do not think Mr.. Lamborn had
any attention to insult the marshall
or the people of Arion. in fact his
| career as a business man here is
absolute warrant that he did not SO
intend. At the same time Mr.. Ahart
had no animus against Mr.. Lamborn,
personally, and the fracas was a
elimination of many annoyances to
which he had been submitted. In
other words. Landlords witticism
was the proverbial last straw and
Mr.. Lamborn suffered vicariously for
the enthusiasm and Americanism of
the whole crowd. Mr.. Lamborn used
| IlO W OldliiCy VI OusCtIIlcIlduly
language, he was back of the ropes,
and his only offense seems to have
been that of guying the officer. At
any rate there is in the affair no
casus belli for an Arion- Denison feud
and the level headed men of both
cities should see to it that none
developes. The large attendance of
Denison people at the fair shows the
good will existing Mr. Lamborn
feels that he was Inundated in a
manner utterly out CT proportion
with any offense that he may have
committed and in this we agree with
him, while Mr.. Ahart feels that he
but upheld the dignity of himself
and the law Of Arion.
This is case where u few hot
heads might make permanent enemies
| Of those who should be friends.

gas engines were sufficient to give
spectators chance to see the leading
makes. The best of all to see was
the people. The dear, intelligent,
happy men and women. young men
and maidens, boys and girls. The
comfortable shade on the grounds
brought the mothers with their little
ones out in full force, and all see med
to be having good time. The
merry go round did good business.
and so did the men selling merchant

throwing rings and balls at rag babies
for prize.
Of course the great attraction was
the races. AS many of the horses
were known to the spectators. and the
riders and drivers likewise. there
was added interest in the results.
The auto race aroused much excite
ment. The two, road autos certainly
did fly around the track, making
clouds of dust. Mr.. Boylan of Deni-
son came ont ahead using the Jack
son machine The result of the
races we give from the report of the
Secretary in another place. There
We're two good ball games. In the
one of Thursday the Normal school Of

were not allowed score IN the six
inning game. The courage of the coll

Friday was between Denison and

Hon. Thomas Rae was back from his
trip to Scotland in time to give final
advice on the arrangements. The
meals which they furnished under
difficulties, but those eating were
we'll pleased. This is no time to give
advice as to how to have things better
in some departments next year, for it
would be long forgotten if given.
Suffice it now to say. that the Arion
fair was a source of enjoyment to a
very great number of people, and
that is what it was arranged, for and
so it fulfilled its mission
