Milford Chronicle.
In visiting the public schools OF Kent
county the County School Commission
ers have found a wonderful lack of in
terest in the schools by the people re-
siding in the local districts. and that
serious results in a financial way have
not resulted. is indeed fortunate. More
than half the districts have no pump,
or other means Of getting water for
drinking. or cleaning; hut even on these
grounds it is hard to excuse the lack
Of interest. yet when it is considered
that not five per cent. of the school
houses in the county are insured. the
failure 10 provide a pump to supply
water in case spark should set fire
TO the shingle roof, looks like the act
OF an imbecile: but IT Is a stubborn fact
Just the same. But even this neglect
OF duty only endangers q possible loss
Of property. and there is a greater
and more important matter to which
the school commissioners Of most every
rural. and many town schools are
guilty, viz; the vile condition OF the
closets provided for both the boys and
girls. They arc permitted TO fill TO
the very tops Of the seats, and the
stencil arising is nauseating. and II is
no matter to wonder a., that the chill
dren refuse TO 80 into such vile con-
traptions. No self-respecting hog
would be guilty Of using such a place.
We believe the mothers and fathers
are careless Of the health of their chill

Senator DUPONT and Brownsville.
Dover Sentinel.
Senator Henry A. DUPONT has been
In position to have a full and COM
plete knowledge Of the Brownsville af-
fair, being a member of the Committee
on Military Affairs, who conducted the
inquiry. The senator has reached the
conclusion, from the evidence furnish
ed at the inquiry, that some members
Of the negro troop did shoot up
Brownsville, but that the troop as
whole was not guilty, and that the
innocent members should be given a
full chance for reinstatement. Senator
Forakers bill Is so drafted that II
adopted would compel, in the judg-
ment Of many, the executive veto.
Senator dupont believes a measure
should be adopted that will meet the
approval of the Executive, and that
will reinstate those negro troopers
who have no guilty knowledge of the
shooting. That course should be COM
mended by all fair-minded people.

HUGHES APPEAL TO THE VOTERS.

q OVERNOR HUGHES is teaching the peo-
~ pie OF New York a great object lesson.
He has not lost faith in the people. The COVER
nors plan to pr. the race track gamblers out os
business failed for the time being because the pc
litical bosses controlled sufficient votes to pre-
vent his anti-race track bill from passing.
The governor did not appeal to the BOSSES lie
has gone direct TO the people who elected him to
office. lie is waging campaign in the northern
part of New York State. On Friday evening last
he spoke at five meetings, approaching Croz;ef-
ian record The issue before the people, he de-
clared, was moral issue. The problem to him
is whether the county bosses and not the people
shall control the votes in the Legislature.
Hughes says that it is a mistake to underesti-
mate the MORAL Iense of the public. And it is
mistake not to take into account their ideals of
justice and right.
Roosevelt gained his hold upon the country by
his advocacy of the square deal" which is really
a moral question. Hughes follows the same pol
icy. Against both are arrayed strong forces OF
selfish interests Roosevelt has practically won
his fight Hughes WILL in the end, win his.

The Milford Chronicle urges the parents of
school children of the lower counties to visit the
schools occasionally to see what is going on in
them. Such visits encourage the teacher and the
scholars as well. And they would be appreciated
by boards of education and commissioners, upon

the youth of the nation.

READING ADVERTISEMENTS.

The man who tells you he never
reads advertisements is almost sure
to tell you in the same breath that
they are all lies and all alike, forget
full of the fact that if his first state
ment is true he has no knowledge up
on which to base his second state
ment. But why should anyone take
any credit to himself for not reading
advertisements? The fact is, there is
not only a great deal of valuable in
formation in the advertising columns,
but it is a good index of citys bus
mess.
The announcement of Marshall
town merchant that he will conduct a
special sale for one week, or the invi-
tation of another to attend the adj
vance showing of Spring goods, or the
statement that an auction sale of fine
stock would be held on a given date,
ought to be Of as much interest as the
news that Mrs. Richly visited in the
uelE IlUUIIIS lOWlI ColGl uety IL ID u ltC
that III some instances there are eN-
aggerations, if not untruths, in adver-
Using, but the same thing might be
said of news, and in neither case as a
rule is it the fault of the newspapers
or The men who make them. But in
advertising, as in news, the truth is
always best, and in the end will result
to the advantage or detriment of the
advertiser, according as he carries out
his promise to the people.
The man or woman who reads the
advertisements is better judge of
values, is better informed in business
affairs. and has a keener insight into
commercial things generally. People
who pride themselves on not reading
advertisements nurse themselves with
a false pride, and are neglecting an OPP

Outside Point of View

Let's see. How many months ag
was it that Rev. William Sunday con-
verified the whole city of Muscatine
The word whole is here used 10 ex-
press the hundreds that We're convert
ed, the movement having sufficient
strength to close the saloons and gam
bling places Of Muscatine, thru legal
agencies. And only a few days ago
we read Muscatine was open again.
THE lid was Off There must be
something radically wrong in this kind
of conversion. a community that needs
converting once a year is hopelessly
bad or lacks sincerity in having a
change of heart. The thousands that
under Sundays ministration felt full
of zeal and closed saloons and gam
bling bells, We're either mistaken in
slpposing they We're converted, or the
kind of cony ersion they experienced
was not of sufficient power and value
to prevent serious moral lapse in
side of twelve months. There is no
way of denying the logic of the situa-
ton.
1t so happens that just at this writ
ing the Methodists of Marshalltown,
and the Con.gregationalists of Grinnell
are conducting a series of meetings
that come under the head of reviv-

ais. In both. there is an absolute
| omission of the Billy" Sunday and
Sam Jones style of revival meetings.
The speakers in both cases are men
with personal reputation as clean
Christian men. They tell no vulgar
stories and as yet to this writer's
knowledge have not announced that
this is the wickedest town l ever was
in" Insofar as comes to this writer.
have not yet elassed all card players
with gamblers or stated that society
people who attend dances are as bad as
frequenters of houses of ill-fame.
These two preachers have as yet failed
to excite the i'll feelings of a certain
class in the community. to the ex-
tent that they are in danger of being
mobbed.
On the contrary. they are preaching
the gospel of Jesus Christ. and using
their persuasive powers and argu-
ments to induce people to accept 1T.
While they may not count their
converts by the hundreds or
their free-will offerings at the
close of the meetings by thousands of
dollars it is a safe assumption their
converts will not backslide in twelve
months. One can go farther and claim
that the results of these meetings in
both of these towns will result in a
lasting good to the community. And
this writer is glad to place himself on
record as one that believes in the
need of revivals. so-called; as one that
for many years has watched the career
of many Converted" individuals. and is
able to show from personal observa-
ton. that such conversions have
changed the whole life of these indi-
viduals, to say nothing of their influ-
ence on their growing families.
In a recent issue of the T.-R. we
read that "The Marshall County Pas
tors association. thru committee
named for the purpose. and in Coop
GRAFTON with Secretary ]. A. Goodell,
of the Y. NJ. G. A.. is back of a move
ment to secure the presence of Evan
gelst w. A. Sunday for series of re-
vival meetings in Marshalltown."
Now the writer realizes that his
business is not to attempt to run the
churches of Marshall county. However,
he retains the right to ask that these
prominent Christian gentlemen think
it over before committing themselves
to this movement. He asks that the
Christian men and women of MARSHALL
town think it over before signing petit
lions. He suggests that before this
contract is closed. that the pastors Of
the churches write to Iowa Falls and
get full account of Rev. Mr.. Sun
days revival meetings held there a
few years ago. He asks the pastors
of these churches to write to Fairfield
and get a copy of the papers published
there, and read some of the prayers

vival meetings there. In word, are
