ABANDONMENT OF PARADE.

w arc rather dispeased with the decision
of the Democrats not to have a parade
tonight in honor of their victory A strngency
IN the Democratic money market is given as the
reason. but we believe if the hat were passed
around some money could be raised for the pur-
pose However, the Democrats might be able
to buy at reduced rates, the fireworks pur-
chased by some Republicans in advance Of the
election. If the Democrats had a parade, IT,
would stir some Republicans to regret that they
did not work harder to elect their own ticket.
Then, again, a parade and celebration is a good
thing once in a while Wilmington is getting so
-orderly-we mean so quiet-that little life or
a parade would be a diversion In fact, every
one of us is becoming as good as his neighbor.
During the last campaign the parties held cred
table parades. The Democrats had no speaking
or orators during the campaign, and we are led
to believe that the real reason for the abandon
ment of the parade was that the Democrats
wanted to escape a deluge of oratory that
would have followed the celebration.

NoT IN THE cITY CONTEST.

It HERE has been disposition in some
\ quarters to mix up Senator DUPONT in the
defeat of the Republican city ticket in the re-
suit of the election a blow at the Republican
State organization This is far fetched notion,
and it would be we'll for the Republicans of the
State to understand that fact. AS matter OF
fact Senator DUPONT in no way interfered with
the city election and the State organization had
nothing TO do with it. 1t was purely VII.
mington affair. 1t has been characteristic OF
Senator dupont that he has been little of po-
litical boss, but he has permitted the men OF the
party to run its affairs.
The city election will have no political bear
ing upon the State election except, perhaps, TO
make it plain that the Democratic party IS
somewhat alive and that the Republicans should
prepare for a vigorous battle at the polls next
year

OF age and upwards are entitled TO vote for
President of the Board of Education and mem
bcrs OF that body in their respective wards. This
is the only election in which the women Of the
city may take part and those who are inter
csted in equal suffrage naturally desire that the
women should participate in the election. To
be sure there are no important contests this
afternoon, but that fact should not deter women
from appearing at the polls and casting their bal
lots The women ought to be much interested
in the schools which arc the most important
part of our civic ife and there are a dozen rea-

on the right side.
The three talks were Illustrated by
him by incidents from his own ex-
perience of fourteen years on the bench
Judge Roberts Is an accurate speaker
and deep thinker. The one thought
going thru his three addresses is that
christian people cannot be consistent
and stand by while vice and crime run
rampant in their community. One re-
mark which he made which will remain
in the minds of many men is that it
could not be expected that a judge on
the bench can continue to send men to
the penitentiary and reformatory while
the christian people of the country
allow the evils causing their ruin to
exist and flourish.

M. A. Roberts, of Ottumwa, judge Of
the Second judicial district of Iowa, was
the Billy" Sunday campaign speaker
in this city yesterday. Judge Roberts
addressed two mems meetings at the
court house, and a union mass meeting
at night.
The first meeting was held at II
o'clock under the auspices of the
Churchman'S Club. Judge Roberts took
as his subject The Martyrdom of
Stephen, comparing the attitude OF
Saul on that occasion to that of the
christian people Of today. who stand
by without raising a voice while the
conditions in their community are
daily running men.
About 215 men attended the meeting
at BIS, under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Judge Roberts. was introduced by Judge
Parker, who announced the keynote of
the address to be Courage Judge
Roberts said that 1t was important that
we should have convictions along tho
line Of civic duty. Our presence in the
meetings indicated three things: First.
that we have faith in the result OF
such meetings; secondly, that we have
courage to do our duty as we see 1t;
and thirdly, that we encourage others
to do right as they see it. God put a
responsibility upon men. The chris
tian duty of every man is not to stand
"A Il te
ing a hand Christianity is not a
wishy washy thing. The man who lives
for himself alone does not amount to
anything in a community. Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, and Steven Douglas,
relatively wasted their lives. while
Lincoln stood firm in his convictions
and made his life count for the ages to
come. The christian religion is the
only religion that demands that a man
will think OF others In closing. Judge
Roberts remarked that the liquor busi-
ness was either all right or all wrong.
II right, every man ought to encourage
it. II wrong. every man, woman, and
child ought to help wipe it out.

of the christian doctrine of brotherly

how he admired their courage. UNI

Marshall county's second short
course given under the direction of the
extension department Of the Iowa State
College, Ames opened this morning.
The enrolment in all of the classes UP
to noon was about 1SS. This is slightly
under the enrolment for the same time
last year, but those in charge believe
that by Tuesday or Wednesday The
attendance will equal, If 1t does not ex-
coed. that of last year.
UP to noon lightweight men had en-
rolled for the agronomy and animal
husbandry classes. This is exclusive of
those who had procured tickets in adj
vance and who had not reported to
headquarters.
An exact count of the women attend
ing the domestic science classes could
not be made, as the classes divided this
morning before all had registered. Sew
enty-three had registered at the Fry
building this morning, but F. r. Bene-
dict, who is in charge Of the depart
ment, thought that the total would
reach close to 100.
Get Ready for Class Work.
Little delay was experienced IN
launching the weeks course of study
this morning The domestic science
department went to work at once, but
a joint session of the animal husbandry
and corn classes preceded the division
of the men into two groups for class
work
Prof P. G. Holden, who is In charge
OF the short coourse. met the animal
husbandry and corn classes this morn
ing in the east court room, and spent
q half hour outlining the class work
of the week.
Prof. R. K. Bliss, the head of the d.
partment of animal husbandry, lee
tured before the joint classes on
Feeds and Feeding" He took UP the
relative rations and the proportions of
each. and dwelt at considerable length
on the value Of different kinds Of feeds.
Glasses Go to Work.
The work of the animal husbandry
and corn classes began in earnest this
afternoon. The corn classes took up the
subject OF "How to Judge Corn" es-
pecially with reference to the yielding
power. Each pupil used sample ears
for this study.
The animal husbandry classes, which
meet in the 'Eldridge, Beebe Automo-
Bile Company's garage on North First
street, took up for its first lesson this
afternoon the care, feeding and man
agenent of stations. A class of four
Perchercn stations was used by the
class for this lesson.
Demonstration For Women.
Those women who attended the
domestic science classes last winter.
are in the advanced class this year.
Those who are attending for the first
time are in the first year class.
The domestic science classes have
two meeting places, the west court
room and the Fry building, while the
lectures, and talks on foods and
demonstrations of sewing are given in
the west court room.
The first class came together in the
