PRESSURE AND PREACHERS.

A Council Bluffs preacher is cutting
a pitiful figure He has Numbered
from the pulpit against the gamblers
with whom he had neither acqualnt-
ance nor dealings, and the scarlet
women OF whom he probably knew
much less. In the heat of his convlc-
ton that he meant all he said he. with
others, invited Attorney General Byers
to speak at Council Bluffs as he had
spoken at Davenport Byers came and
talked from the shoulder. The dens
Of infamy We're closed in the fear Oh
the statute. And thus it would be
presumed the Council Bluffs preacher
should find fulfillment of desire. How
ever. he comes out deprecanng the
Bvers speech and explaining that ne
didn't know it was loaded.
This Council Bluffs preacher con-
victs himself as u poseur. Since Byers
came the gambling house and brothei
revenues have ceased to flow into the
city treasury THE high rentals PAID
IN the owners of real estate rented to
gamblers and prostitutes stopped short.
There was a dearth of easy money N
Council Bluffs. 1t is possible that some
Of the wealthy parishioners OF the
preachers church owned some OF these
buildings. Criticism fell the preachers
way Then he reneged.
The place for the preacher is with
all movements for civic righteousness.
He must march there if he is TO re-
tain his self-respect and live up to MS
profession and his opportunity II Is
easy to sign resolutions and speak to
the onestion at ministerial meetings
and from the pulpit. 1t is not so easy
when the statute begins to work and
the wealthy churchmember finds such
vicious revenues as he is lncllned 10
gather curtailed. When the business
man. who believes the wide open town
good for trade begins to kick; when
scowls take the place of smiles, ana
the general stand in takes on limlta-
lions. But if the preacher is to advise.
admonish and threaten from the pulpit.
he must stand for the real thing out
side the pulpit. Otherwise he is
plain hypocrite and a poseur.
Let the preachers get busy if they
will. The forces of law enforcement
welcome their aid, but let them stand
to their guns after the skirmishers are
driven in. Even gambler despises

\ FEW BARNAcLES
(Burt Monilor)

Burt has three or four young able
bodied men whose lazness and
worthlessness is very pronounced.
From early morn till dark they loaf on
the street and in the stores and are
an oyesore to anyone having an ounce
of pluck or ambition. Why these fell
lows exist Is puzzle to the writer
They are no good to themselves
their parents have to support them
their credit is not good for even Ia
cents, they kick on the way the town
affairs are conducted. and even push
themselves into the company of hon
orable men. To an energetic man
they look like barnacle on the bot
tom of the ship of progress. Get up
and dust Get a move on you. DO
not let your mother or father labor in
order 10 keep that worthless carcass
OF yours alive. You were put on earth
to accomplish something, not to loaf
and be in way of honorable men.
Your appearance and actions would
indicate that you did not have as
much sense as God gave geese.

1NcuBATING GOVERNORS.
fSjo,ix CITY News.)

(SlOux CITY NeWS.)
If you are an alumnus of the State
University of Iowa and you move out
of the state. you are sure to wind up
in the governors chair or In the Unit
ed States congress.
This was proven sufficiently at the
great banquet of delegates to the Mis-
souri, River navigation congress last
night.
Mayor w. G; Sears. of Sioux City,
is an alumus of the state university,
and when he introduced Governor
John Burke, OF North Dakota, he in
PRODUCED him rs an old schoolmate at
the State University of Iowa. They
wera law students there together.
But that was not all. When he in
troduced Governor Coe l. Crawford, OF
South Dakota, he introduced him as
an old schoolmate at the State Uni
versity of Iowa
And then little later he intro
duced Congressman John l.. Ken
nedy, of Omaha, as a former class
mate at the state University of Iowa.
United States Senator Brown, Of
Nebraska, could not attend the con-
vention, but if he had been here he
could have been introduced in the
same manner.
And the coincidence might have
been carried still further in the dec
laration that Frank o. Lowden. the
chief opponent of Governor Charles
S. Deneen, of Illinois. is an alumnus
of the State University of Iowa.
The delegates began to wonder il
they ran a course for the training OF
statesmen down at Iowa City.

pRouTY's REPLY TO OoLLIveR.

with the formation of a commission

ton. Judge Prouty replied at Des
Moines by saying:
He next refers to Senator Allison's
connection with the formation of a
government for the city of Washing
ton. He refers to this to Illustrate
his singular genius for constructive
legislative tasks After stating that
Senator Allison had spent all summer
of 1874 in investigation and prepara-
ton of bill, he reported one that
was suggested as a temporary eXped-
lent to be superseded as soon as
permanent scheme of administration
could be provided by congress. It
there ever was anything that clearly
portrayed Senator Allison's genius for
constructive legislation, it Is contained

that he was a member of commit

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

South Carolina has law providing
that any laborer working for a share
of the crop or for wages in money or
other valuable consideration under a
contract for labor on farm land, who
shall receive advances either in mon
ey or supplies, and thereafter willfully
and without just cause fail to perform
the reasonable service required of him
by the terms of the contract, shall be
liable to prosecution for misdemeanor
and punishment by Imprisonment. This
law was enacted principally to con-

The MAN AND THE GIRL.

Miss Gladys Vanderbilt was mar
ried yesterday amid the protests and
ieers and fun poking paragraphs OF
the great American press. But she
married her count as was her perfect
right under the constitution. And
when we come to the nub of the mat
ter it was nobody's business outside
GLADYS, the count. and The families
of the "high contracting parties" as
the new reporter would say.
It appears from the record that
Gladys wanted the man and 1T is not
at all clear that the count wanted
her money more than the girl. 1t is
also in evidence that old man Wander
bilt was against the match, which in
itself offers sufficient excuse for an
ordinary American marriage. The
count has nice little income of 500
600 of his own, and seems able to get
along pretty well on 1t. 1t may be that
he wanted Gladys and she wanted him
after the same fierce fashion that
Jones' hired man wants the hired girl
at Thompson's.
1t will not do to dump all titled
foreigners into the Count Boni class,
and set up American youth as stain
less Judging by the court records
Glodys' chance for divorce is about
the same whether she marries a count
or barber, She may have selected a
foreigner who will break her heart
and spend her money. She might
without extra exertion have picked
out an American who would do the
same things. Had she married in
her Glass; one of The vapid. degener-
tie sons Of the American new rich,
her chances of happiness had been no
better than they are.
It's the man and the girl in every
case. They can be happy if they will.
They can be unhappy without trying,
Give Gladys and her man a chance.
They may be happy in spite of titles
They may be happy yet, in spite of
titles and millions.

What Does This Sign Mean?
It means that public inspection Of

that there is nothing about the bus

1t means that permanent invita-

Under date of January 1lth, we re-
ceivcd notice of the organization
OF a Taft club, organized at the county
seat, published in another column or
this issue, also a petition for sigma
lures for members Of the club. We
notice that we received the honor OF

and of course made us fell ilnny,
like being tickled with straw. as
there is no candidate in the field for
president that we would sooner cast
our vote for than Taft. But we had
to decline the honor. In the frSt
place, we hardly feel that our inf1u-

there are other interests that need
taking care of that will gain the results
desired by us better than lining up

things, the time, the date and place of

CoNNoR's SPEECH.


The Messenger is right in stating
that Judge Connor's speech was not
reactionary In fact those who were
present remember that it was very
lucid statement of the tariff situation
from business standpoint, and that
it was one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of sane tariff revision
which had been made In Iowa up to
that time. That convention was very
warmly progressive, and there was
great interest manifested as to what
the nominee would say about the tar
if The convention was delighted to
learn that one Iowa congressman. at
least. had the courage to declare that
the people wanted tariff revision, that
he believed they were right and that
it should come In good season. Since
that time, and especially since Pres-
dent Roosevelt has recommended 1t,
all are ready to admit that an adj
justment of the duties Is advisable,
but Judge Conner was the pioneer
Iowa congressman to express this
sentiment from public platform.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Noting that a Fort Dodge doctor has
been indicted for manslaughter on an
allegation that while attempting a sur
gical operation on a woman patient
he severed her intestines, the Month
cello Express says: THE explanation
is easily made. 1t is claimed that the
surgeon was intoxicated. But it is an
explanation that neither restores the
woman to life nor excuses the criminal
carelessness of the doctor. The man
who voluntarily assumes the degrading
imbecility of intoxication is not to be
trusted in any position, much less that
of the surgeon who has in his hands
the responsibilities that make for life
or death. Neither the law nor moral
sentiment will accept voluntary intoXi-
cation as an excuse for crime commit
