Patience has ceased to be virtue
with the people who are forced to
wade through the mud on the south
side Of Main street between Walnut
and Vine streets. The high mud bank
that has been allowed to deface the
street for so many years ought to come
down Or q retaining wall should be
built, It is an unsightly place, maxi
ing poor advertisement for DenisOn,
every rain washes the mud onto the
walk and the overhsnging trees are
q positive menace to passers-by. We
are informed that the city council has
ordered this nuisance to be abated but
no attention has been paid to the
order. If this is SO we think it is
time the council took further steps in
the matter.

The Culicks Leave For 0koboii.
The Gulicks, root and branch.

The Gulicks, root and branch. left
for summer at Okoboji on Tuesday
morning. At Spencer they expect to
meet Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw and daugh-
tiers. The Gulick-Voss cottage is one
0f the most delightful and certainly
one Of the most ,hospitable on Okoboji.
1t is part of their summer happiness
to give happiness to others and their
e ,ttage is always filled to overlooking.
The only mear thing about it is that
Denison seams rather lonesome with
out them. Miss Ethel returned from
an eastern visit with just time to say
4.Howdy" and Goodbye. We are
glad, however that they can have so
good a time and hope their summer
may be a jolly one and that the IN. 1.

FOURTH OF JULY
GETS WET BLANKET
CONTINUOUS DowNPoUR on MONDAY
QUENCHES PATRIOTIC FIRES
BOTH PlCNlCS ARE POSTPONED
German Brotherhood viii Celebrate on Auto
Day. Sunday Schools Will Garry Out
Program Another Day.

When the small boy cast his wealth
er eye upward about A g. m. on the
morning of the Fifth he was almost
tempted TO GO back to bed. That he
did not was a high tribute not only to
his patriotism but to his faith, q
faith which was born but to be disap-
pointed. The rain of all day Sunday
gave place to muggy foggy mist.
The river was up and the mud was
hub deep but this did not make the boy
give up. And then about eight O'Clock
it started in with q fresh holt and
rained and rained just as if it hadn't
been raining for the last six weeks.
1t was not until then that the small
boy gave up the picnic idea and fell
back on the explosion Of frecrackers
as sole amusement. The Sunday
School folks gave up early in the day.
The band was ready at Vail and the
brand new uniforms must have got a
wetting, but they were told not to
come and to wait until another day.
Fifty gallons of ice cream were sold
by the committee and the other pro-
visions were held for sunshiney day.
AL with whom we have talked have
expressed themselves that the picnic
celebration shall not be abandoned and
the little folks shall not be disap-
pointed. 1t seems to be the purpose
to carry through the original plans
Just rs soon as it appears that the
rainy season is over.
The German Brotherhood held out
with commendable bravery. They had
the Denison band and had it play at
one o'clock. but the rain was too much
for the players and the mud was too
deep for any enjoyment. Their picnic
was postponed until July 18th and will
be held OH Auto Day. The two at
fractions should bring an enormous
crowd to Denison. In spite of the
weather there were many strangers
and not q few country people in town
who we're disappointed that there wac
no celebration. A blind singer on the
streets attracted many and reaped q
rich harvest. while soda fountains
and restaurants reaped harvest.
The dance at Brotherhood hall was
well attended in the evening. The
saloons were open throughout the day
but there was little drunkenness.
Numerous private fireworks displays
frightened the evening sky and scores
of families had ice cream festivals OF
their own. Nevertheless the day wac
. sore disappointment to the young.
STEERS and they are looking eagerly for.
ward to the carrying out of the plan,
ut a later date.

THE BRUTAL Niger"

No one doubts the existence of the
brutal Niger" ''T'is true. It's
pity. and pity tbs, tbs true.', The
editor of the Review is no more in
love with the brutal aigger" than is
any other law-apiding citizen. We
have no special tondness for murderers
or rapists or incendiaries. The truth
is, if it must be told, that we have no
love for brutal niggers. or.brutal Syr-
ians, or brutal Italians. or brutal
Cinnamon or brutal Thaws. or Whites
or brutal French panders and dealers
in white slaves.
Despite this lack of affection for
brutes of whatever nationality. we
have hesitared to put the curse upon
any entire race or breed because of the
brutes it happened to contain.
One has only to read the daily
papers to find 80 many white brutes,
so many American brutes, that the
more thoughtful man will hesitate to
judge. lest he be judged.
Continuing our confession. we will
admit degree Of negrophobia, a
feeling of sympathy which we be-
lieve may we'll be cultivated towards
the oppressed and the unfortunate.
A feeling for the under dog. A de-
sire for fair play which we are
pleased to think is characteristic of
the Anglo-Saxon.
That the south has utterly failed to
solve the Negro Problem is evidenced
by the fact that there are so many
brutal Niggers. - No question can
be solved when it implies the mu-
tual fear and distrust and hatred
that exists between the two races in
the south today. No southerner will
claim that the race problem has been
solved. The nearest solution has been
reached at 1uskegee where Negroes
are trained to be self-supporting. self
respecting. fore-handed citizens. This
is not the typical southern method
which the Bulletin applauds. The
typical southern method has done all
it can to brutalize the negro. It is
not the fault Of the southern whites
that all colored men are not brutes.
The microbe Of lust and brutality
can not be cured by continuing all the
conditions favorable to its culture.
Both science and sense teach ui
that.
Let us punish the brutal niger az
we do the brutal white man, but in
the meantime let us try, with the
blacks as with the whites. to prevent
them from becoming brutes. Our civ
ilization is indeed . failure if we must
acknowledge that we know of no way
to better the condition Of the negro
except to brutalize him. Even thu
souls Of black folk are worth the say.

of these. do ye even SO unto Him.

Commencing with July first the
Denison city carriers get raise to
$500 year. They have done good
work and are giving the people good

it q .sfarcical carrier system. There

care to have the service abandoned.

These Investigations expected to accomplish

while the official figures nave been obta4ns<1
IL is stated that the number of deaths viii be sev-

them-at the Mononsah mine. in West Virginia
being the greatest mining disaster in the history
Of this country. There were 355 victims During
1908 there were only two accidents in which t1s
loss OF life was very heavy; in January AZ
the Hanna mine. in Wyoming. with loss OF %

In 1907 more than 3.175 men were Killed IN Nv
