It is charged that under the nsturaliza-
ton law aliens seeking admission to citizenship
are forced to submit to excessive delays. 1t is
better in such matters to make haste slowly
than to follow the railroadins methods in vogue
before the passage of the act of 1906 Yet Con
gress should supply the clerical force needed to
execute the statute, there being a general agree
ment on the fact that the present force at
work in the federal courts is much too small.

The extension of the competitive Civil Service
classification in this state just effected by Gov
ernor Hughes's approval of the rules adopted
last August by the Civil Service Commission
is the result Of a rounding out of existing
policies rather than the adoption of new ones.
Inconsistencies which the Civil Service Com
mission found have been ended, and the civil
Service rules have now been applied to places
formerly exempt wherever places similar to
them in the states service were competitive
Civil Service reform in the state as well as IN
the federal government is a steadily advancing
movement .

Mr. J. G. Phelps Stokes in explaining why
he did not as socialist sell all he had ana
give to the poor unconsciously exposed one OF
the difficulties OF socialism-its impracticanty
AS a socialist he admitted that his fortune
could have come to him only by exploitation
and ought to be returned to the people from
whom 1t was wrung But when he reckoned IL
up he found that If he divided his goods every
body would be one quarter OF a cent better on
Even to Mr. Stokes the absurdity OF such a
result was apparent So he decided that ne
could do more good by keeping the title 10 ms
possessions which, however got, were power
to do good. So a great many others VINO wouio
like to see the world better off and happier ma

Mr. Stokes found in his fortune, something
which may be used for the betterment or man
kind They figure not perhaps with pad ana
pencil that If the organization or society,"
which it has taken centuries to construct, some
Of them centuries of sin and wrong and in1us-
tice-if that structure were broken down IN

scattered abroad, men would be temporarily
perhaps Just about one quarter of a cent bet

PAVING CASE NEXT WEEK.
Morgan Case Will Come Up for Trial
Before Judge Bradshaw.

Beginning next Monday two branch
es of the district court will be in ses-
sslss7. The special branch Of the court
will be held in the east court room
for the purpose of trying the paving
case brought by Mrs. Frances S. Nor
gan against the city. Judge Bradshaw
will hear this case. BY agreement at
the last term Of court it was determ-
ined to have this case come up soon
after the January term opened, and
Judge Bradshaw consented to come to
hear 1t. Judge Parker was formerly
interested in some of the paving cases
as an attorney, and for that reason
was disqualified from presiding at the
hearing.
The case is but one Of thirty-th
that are still on the court docket. With
others 1t has been thru various stages
Of litigation, including a trip to the
federal court. where it was sent back
to the district court for trial.
Like all of the others, the case was
brought to resist the collection of the
special tax assessment for asphalt
paving on Fourth avenue, abutting the
Morgan property.
The claims set up In the petition are
based chiefly on an alleged non-com-
pliance with the contract, 1t being
claimed that neither the material used
nor the work was up to specifications.
The assessment against this property
is $3.50.

'The Marshalltown Times-Republi-

Library for Y. M. c. A.

After two previous unsuccessful at
tempts, a quorum was secured. and the
regular monthly meeting of the board
of library trustees. which had twice
been postponed, was held late Monday
afternoon.
branch library Is to be established
at the Railroad Y. M. c. A., which had
made request for 1t. 1t is thought
that the ". NJ. c. A. will be able to
circulate books among many who have
not patronlzed the library. A branch
established at the Arson school build
ing a few months ago is being largely
patronized.
The board ruled that hereafter, dur
ing the winter months, the library will
be open on Sunday from $3.50 unth 5
O'Clock, instead of $3.50 o'clock, as has
been the custom.

WHO USES AYoMEl2
The Best People in Marshalltown, Say
Mcbride & Will-Guaranteed In
Catarrhal Troubles

The Best People in MarshaIltown, Say
Mcbride & WiII-Guaranteed In
Catarrhal Troubles.
No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures In
Marshalltown as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues. say Mcbride & VIII, who are
the local agents. The fair way In
which Hycanei was sold, to refund the
money unl,.ss it gave satisfaction. was
the best proof when it was introduced
that 1t possessed unusual curative
powers. Mcbride & Will took all the
risk of the treatment giving satisfac-
ton, and left 1t to the purchasers to
be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our wellknoWn phys
icians and business men and their
wives as treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh. no matter how serious
or long standing. the sales rapidly grew
and today there is no other remedy in
Mcbride & Wills stock that has such
a large and staple sale.
The first breath Of Hyomei's healing
air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei today on Mcbride &
Wills offer to refund, the money If the
treatment does not give you satisfac-
ton.

COUNTY FARM REPORT.
Good Showing is Made by Management
of County's Property.

Sooo showing Us wi doo oy management
of County's Property.
A good showing is made for the
management Of the county farm in the
annual report Of the steward, ]. c..
Koontz, which was filed with the board
Of supervisors today. This report
shows the receipts from the sale Of
livestock and farm produce made DUR
ing the year to be $5,630.53. The ex
pense of maintenance during the same
period was $7,4314S which exceeds
the receipts by $1,S00.95. Included in
the expenses is one item of $S08.30,
which was expended for permanent
improvements, and which reduces the
actual cost Of maintenance to $992.65.
The average number of inmates at
the farm during the year was sixty.
Six deaths occurred during the twelve
months. A schicken and egg industry,
of no small proportions has been de-
veloped at the county farm. Fowls
and eggs Of value Of $422 were sold
or consumed at the farm, and the
chickens on hand number 1872. This de-
partment Of the farm work is in charge
of Peter Larson.

of Marshall Telephone Co. is :
Mrs. Swatfurd =
WAS MARRIED LAST AUGUST
At ottumwa, Unknown to Parents or
Friends, She Became the Bride Of
Frank M. Swafford, Of Nevada-other
Operators in Office Have Been lsnor-
ant of Fact Ever Since.

Atho she has been addressed by her
Arnold, and the chief operator at the
Marshall Telephone Company's eN-
change has been answering to that
name, it developed today that Miss
Mollie Arnold is no longGc Miss Arnold
but Mrs Frank NJ STAFFORD. Her
husband Is young man living at Me-
vada, and her secret marriage to him
was performed at Ottumwa on Au-
gust 20 last.
During all the time since she became
Mrs. Swafford the young bride has
been attending to her duties as chief
operator in the telephone exchange and
her many friends have been completes
ly ignorant Of the wedding. In fact,
Mrs. Swafford, In admitting her mar
riage to the Times Republican today,
said that the girls at the office were
as yet ignorant Of the fact of her mar
riage, as she had never told them, and
no one had ever SO much as minated
to her that her marriage was sus-
pected.
Out Of Town for News.
OF course Mrs. Swaftord was as anX-
ious to know how the newspaper man
had got wise" as the latter was to
have her confirm the truth of the story.
It was a case Of going out of town for
the news, and in this instance it APP
pears very much as tho it was the
man who could not keep the secret, as
the information emanated from Ne
vada, the home Of Mr.. Swafford.
Mr.. Swafford is son of H. l.. Swat
ford, well known lumberman of Ne
vada. He was formerly employed as
composltor on the Nevada Journal. but
during more recent months worked on
the Reflector, in this city, as an adver-
Using solicitor. At present he is in
Nevada,
Mrs Swafford Is daughter of Cap
tain L. G. Arnold, of 4O4 North First
avenue, and is we'll known in the city.
The family lived for many years In
LeGrand, where Captain Arnold was
one of the early residents.
Mrs. Swafford said today that the
future plans Of herself and husband
were not definite. but that she expect
ed they would go west, either to Spo-
kane or Seattle, In the hope that her
health would be benefited by change
OF climate. At present Mrs. Swafford
is confined to her fathers home, stuff ar
ing from the effects of a vaccinated
arm. She does not expect to return 10
her duties at the telephone exchange,
where she has been employed for the
pas. four years.

Directing Folks in Boston.

(Boston Hera1d.)
The stranger had been searching
nearly half an hour among the myster-
ious curving ways of the Park for
Fenway street.
At last the trim figure Of a hurrying
student attracted her eye and she re-
solved to ask for the necessary infor-
Elaticn.
Can you tell me, please, where Fen
way street tsp she asked.
Eyes, indeed" answered the student.
"Why, we're In 1t now"
"Yes?'' The stranger, looked rather
helplessly around at the wealth of
shrubbery, the smooth roads that
seemed to lead only to Mrs. Gardeners
green rooted palace But wanted to
