SUNDAY CAPS THE CLIMAX
By Sermon on "BoOze" at Marshall.
town Sunday Afternoon

Last week the papers said that Billy
Sunday was discouraged. That his
meeting at Marshalltown was not re-
ceiving enthusiastic support from that
community. But the tide evidently
turned last Sunday. In the afternoon
he spoke to six.thousand men on the
subject of Booze, or Get on the w alter
Wagon" The papers say "The SER
mon was OF tremendous force, and the
multitude hung on his every word and
action" Climax after climax which
he reached, gripped the hearts of the
men and left burning conviction that
there is but one place for the saloon
and that is hell.
''before Sunday began to speak he
stripped himself of his coat, collar and
shirt, and stood CARRIED above the
waist line in only a sleeveless under
garment. Because of the heat and of
the tremendous force the evangelist
put into his sermon, the sweat ran
from his body like water fl om a bather.
Sunday works in all his sermons, but
the energy, nervous force and earnest

afternoon made the other efforts tame
in comparison. At first he was con
tent to speak from the platform. Later
he was on the chair part OF the time
Still later he got on top of the bible

There was not point of attack that
Sunday overlooked in his onslaught
against the saloon and the liquor bust
ness in panaral He advanced aoaipSt
it from all directions, and overlooked
no weak spots in its vulnerable posi-
ton. He attacked it from the stand
point of morality, from civil and mu-
nicipal evils, from drunkenness, from
crime, from pauperism, from insanity,
from vice, from sgualor, from disease,
and from commercial and business
standpoints. He left no stones uuturn-
ed in any of these varied attacks, and
in every respect he made good whea
he promised the he "would shoot its
carcass full of holes.n With the

WORTH THE SACRIFICE
PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY

To most people the events of the
Civil War are but matter OF history.
Only the older people have personal
knowledge of the great suffering en-
.dured and the sacrifices made in those
terrible days. The younger people
cannot remember nor but little know
and much less appreciate what was
done to save the Union and preserve
our liberty. And when they count the
loss of men and money they are con-
strained to ask whether after all the
result was worth the sacrifice. Read
what Bro. Briggs editor of the Anita
Republican, who is an old veteran,
says of this question:
Now, after the lapse of we'll nigh half
century we look over the increasing
list of the fallen and the fast filling
cemeteries and ask ourselves the ques-
ton, "Was IL Worth the SacrificeY'
Every veterans hair is whitening,
every veterans life was shortened
by the severity OF the toll and march
and exposure of the service, and yet
ask the veteran "Was 1t Worth the
Sacrifce?" and he will point you to
the reunited country, to the one flag
under which both north and south
stand ready to defend both north and
south against any foe from within or
without; to the general prosperity that
has attended the nation, it's rank
among the worldpowers, to its inter-
nal development OF material prosperi-
ty, to the advances made along educa-
tional lines, to the fact that other ma
ton are taking courage from what
we have attained to grant their citizens
greater liberties and better represen-
tations in their governments; and then
he will point you to the long list OF
men who won renown on the battlefield
in defense of the union and have lived
to leave their impress on the charac-
ter OF the nation during the years that
have INTERVIEWED; and he will reply:
Eyes, it was worth the sacrifice, to
leave to the generation following us
heritage so rich of the best the world
affords In every walk of life"
Could the great host of fallen heroes
who gave their lives in defense of the
flag look down from the battlements of
the great eternal camping ground and
see the country as it is today and asst
gives promise of being in the future
they would express no regret that their
part of the sacrifice was made. And
the one fond wish of every patriotic
veteran is that he may while he is per-
mitted to participate in the affairs OF
his country, seeit growing in grandeur
and in greatness and that to the last
hour of earth's existence the old flag
under which he marched to victory
may retain its every star with all its
brightness, excelled in glow by no star
save THE Star of Bethlehem

Mrs ChamberIain's Death

A message from Winnebago, Neb.,
Monday morning to Mr.. A. G. Harmon
announced the death OF his wife's
mother, Mrs. Geo. Chamberlain. Two
weeks ago Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. j.
II. Eddy went to assist in caring for
their mother and last week Mrs. b. b.
Carr OF Hinton, Okl., another daugh-
ter arrived there to do what she could
to make her last days comfortable.
On Sunday, the mother was consider
ably better and these ladies left for
Audubon where they were greatly
shocked when they arrived on Monday
to hear OF her death which occurred on
Sunday night. The suddenness of her
passing is not surprising though from
the fact that she was afflicted with
heart trouble. Besides the daughters
named above there is another, Mrs.
Matte McGill, and a son, Mr.. Elmer
Chamberlain, az whose home Mr.. and
Mrs. Chamberlain had been visiting
the last two months. The body ar
rived at Ross Tuesday evening and
was taken out to the home OF Mrs.
Eddy in charge of Mr.. Ed b. Cousins
who acted in place OF Mr.. Harmon.
The funeral services were held on
| Wednesday at IL O'Clock in the M. Il.
church In Audubon, of which the de-
ceased was a member. Owing to the
absence of the pastor, Rev. A. B, Mill
or of the Presbyterian church, kindly
| conducted the services.

The Coming Man

The coming man in this country Is a
certain scientific professor at Berkeley,
California, who claims he has sue
ceeded in extracting all the intoxicat-
ing elements from whiskey without
diminishing it's qualities of exhilara-
tiop. He attributes all the trouble to
what he calls cynamide an element he
can remove without in any way affect
ing the taste or pleasure of slipping
the "Old Kentucky Rye" IL he can
make good in this matter the professor
will be the most popular man in the
twentieth century. Even the great lion
hunter In Africa will drop into second
place without any contest.

christian could use that he did not
apply in referring to it.
Without a doubt, and beyond the
possibilities or cavil or contradiction,
Sundays sermon on booze was the
greatest attack on the saloon and its
attendant evil which has ever been
heard in Iowa.

SENATOR REED SMOOT
BACK FROM TAFT TRIP
Opposed to Mississippi River Project
Because the Cost Would Exceed
Benefits.
tspeeiaI 70 The Herald-Republiean.)

Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.
Provo, Nov. 1O.-United States Senator
Reed SmoOt arrived home today after a
lengthy trip to the south with President
William H Taft and party. Senator
SmoOt declared himself delighted with
the trip and said that he gained much
information on the trip that Will be or
value to him. He is in excellent health,
and will remain in Prove until he finishes
some private business.
As a result of inquiry and observation
Senator SmOOt says he will not vote for
an appropriation for the improvement or
the Mississippi river in line with the
plan for deep waterway from the lakes
to The gulf. He believes that the plan
is not feasible, owing to the condition OF
the Mississippi river. He gave several
reasons for not being in favor OF the
project.
Senator Smoot declares that owing to
the condition of the river, its banks and
bottom shift greatly. He says II would
cost a great deal more to make the river
navigable, in accordance with the pro-
posed plan, than would be gained. He
said that it would cost less to build rail-
roads along both banks of the river thah
to make the river naVigable Tor ocean
going boats. Owing to these conditions,
he regretted that he could not conscIen-
tiously cast his ballot for a big appro-
priation for the project. If, however he
is shown that the plan can be carried out
successfully and adVantageOuSly, ne VIII
be in favor of the improvement.
Senator Smoot was in Chicago and
heard Senator Nelson w. Aldrlch make
an address on the money problem. Sen
ator Smoot said that he agrees with Mr..
Aldrich On the question, and hopes to see
a great central bank in control of the
financial situation. He said that he be
lieved such a scheme will be worked out,
but not for a few years, until the finan-
cial men of the country fully understand
it. In his opinion, central bank Will
be flexible enough to meet conditions
