Marathon racing has become sc
popular and modern a fad and so
thoroughly professionalism as to rob
1t In the average mind of Its true his
toric Significance. AS a matter OF fact
the Marathon race Of today has a
moro honorable line of ancestors than
any other modern sport. 1t can pre-
cede even the historic Olympic games
in its lineage.
The first Marathon even ran was in
490 B. C. 1t took its name-the same
namc that is retained today-from the
city from whence the runner started.
The original Marathon was run a dis
tance Of 26 miles 3S5 yards-exactly
the distance to an inch that the race
is run today. Thus the Marathon OF
1909 can trace continuous ancestry
back into the ages for 1899 years.
The first Marathon runner raced
for love instead of money. which Is
the striking difference between the
old Marathon and the new. 1t came
about In this way:
Marathon was an ancient village on
the eastern coast Of Africa, about 20
miles northeast OF Athens. This vii
lage still survives the ravages Of time
and is recognizable today. as shown
on the accompanying map. by the vii
lage OF Marathona. Marathon was
situated in plain of the same name.

breadth, With a background of noun
tains in the west and a marsh both
on the north and south. Eastward it
reached the sea- Byron's lines cor
rectly describe II:
'The mountains look on Marathon,
And Marathon upon the seas"
In the year 490 B. c., this peaceful
plain of Marathon became the scene
of one OF the most portentous bat
ties in the annals OF the ancient
world. 1t became the scene Of the
great defeat Of the Persian hordes
Of Darius by the Greeks under Mill

of its species, surrounded by
the smaller trees and dense
underground of the tropical
forests, rearing its head above
its neighbors. Two trees to

frequently, perhaps, only one

the Swietena mahogany, the
name Swietenia having been
given to it in honor of the cele-
brated Baron Won Swieten,
physician to Maria Thersa. It

America and frequently towers
to a height of 100 feet, the
trunk being often twelve feet

A Disappointing Witness.

Deacon Stephen Potter, one Of the

OF great eccentricity, but high moral
character. "The deacon will speak the
truth and shame the devil" was often
said Of him.
On Que occasion friend was en-
gagged In u lawsuit in regard to some
land a few miles from Utica. He held
the land ut Il high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as wit
ness to prove how valuable the land
was. The deacon was sworn and
asked II he knew the land.
Yes, he replied. Il know every foot
Of It,"
"What do you think it worth, Mr..

Prohibition VS. Saloons.

FrOnlDllIO1 vs. Saloons.
1t is again a question with the
people of this city as to the pro-
priety of re establishing the
open Saloon in Missouri Valley.
That men differ, and have the
the right to differ on this sub
jet, must be admitted, and the
only question to consider is as
t. the compliance with the law,
made and provided for the sale
of intoxicating liquor.
We doubt very much if any
man can keep within the law in
Iowa, surrounded as it is with
so many conditions, that it re-
qlires a very brave man to un-
dartake the running of a saloon
in Iowa under the Mulct law.
Let us examine some of the
conditions: Must have the con-
sent of the majority of the le-
gal voters of the city to secure
a license to sell Intoxicating Ii
quor. Must receive the consent
of a majority Of the City Coun-
Gil. Must have such resolution
of consent legally passed by the
City Council and published.
What is the condition here?
The opening of the Saloons in
Missouri Valley is opposed by a
majority of the people-by the
members of every Church, the
Schools, Lodges and Social Or
ders-the Mothers, Wives, Sis
ters and Daughters of the men
subject to temptation.
Then the Saloon must not be
opened on Sunday, or on legal
holidays, or on election days,
or be located near a church or
school building, must not sell to
minors, drunkard, or Keely pa
tient, nor allow any games or
betting in his establishment.
Can all these conditions be
complied with?

Samuel A. Mann, police ma 3
istrate of Spokane, formerly a
newspaper writer and theatri-
cal performer in the east. be-
lieves he has solved the problem
of dealing with hardened Grim
inals, habitual ,drunkards and
hop fiends, wife-beaters, drones
and juvenile offenders. The pam
acea: "Give them work work
that tires the body and rests
the mind; give them wholesome
took and frequent baths. The
rock pile is a suitable place in
the absence of an established
workhouse."
Judge Mann handles from
45 to 60 cases daily during the
six days a week the court is in
session, thus giving him opLor-
tunity to see the result of send
ing prisoners to the city Jail.
He says they invariably return
to answer to some other if not
the same charge and the fall is
from bad to worse, the climax
as a rule, being the penitenti-
airy for life or long periods. He
added:
Speaking from a strictly
humanitarian standpoint, l be-
lieve it is wrong to keep a crim-
inal in absolute idleness for 80,
60 or 80 days, while the result
of incarcerating a normal hui
man being, who has committed
no crime, for a similar period
will either make him a GRIMM
al or drive him insane.
81 have watched the results
of sentences on the rock pile.
Even the confirmed drunkard,
who comes here after a knock
oat fight with John Barleycorn
goes forth a rev man after 80
days treatment, as l have out
lined. l have seen boys who
became desperate criminals af-
ter associating with bad men in
Jail a similar period, and again
| have known them to become
respected citizens as a result of
being segregated from the 9TH
er classes and given work to oc-
cupy their minds. The rock.
pile solves the problem.

say II requires . brave man to
take upon himself such respon.
sibilities.
But suppose we look at the
financial side of the question:
First comes the Co. tax 100000
City tax, 100000

Bar tender, heat, light, 10000
Raw material. &c. 100000
Total, SIS, 10000
This is a reasonable estimate,
and is more apt to be under
than over the mark. Just how
two saloons, at the above cost,
is a question for any man to
consider, who is contemplating
gong into the business. AS a
proof that no man can make
money under tt @se conditions,
we refer Won " Ia the fact, that
out of az wt..! ave been in the
business ~ Missouri Valley in
the past forty years, we can on
ly remember three who retired
with as much money as they put
into the business. We look upon
it, with the increased cost, as
it now has, as a much more haz-
zardous business than ever be-
fore, and should regret to see
men ignore these facts and en-
gage in the Saloon business in
this city now. In looking over
the list of men who entered life
here in the pastwith means and
bright prospects before them,
who were tempted to engage in
this nefarious business and now
res. in pauper graves, others
are poor and out of business.
