Ottumwa, May 3.-Whether the sig
nature of a person entitled to vote and
who did not at the last general election
is entitled to recognition as signer
of the saloon revocation petition, fur
nishes the chief question to be deter
mined by Judge c. w. Vermillion in
passing on the injunction suits against
row.
The plaintiff, r. A. Mills, thru his
attorneys has maintained turnout in
the arguments that the word voter"
should be construed by the court to
mean not only man who actually
voted at the last general election, but
| a citizen of Ottumwa who was born
within the confines of the United
States or was naturalized and who was
in every sense qualified to vote but
who did not.
| sci has been that only voter who
was entitled to recognition.
| Attorney McNett began his argu-
ment shortly after o'clock in the
morning and brought it to close at
noon, when the case was wholly sub
mitted to the court.
| The character of the evidence pre-
sented and the arguments made were
Of such a nature, that a ruling by
Judge Vermillion for some little time
to come is practically beyond ques-
ton. The court will today noon
take up the criminal assignment of
cases on the calendar, following which
will come the regular order of busi-
ness, and owing to the unexpected
length of the case just closed, 1t is
not likely that a decision will be
made before Judge Vermillion's vaca-
ton this summer.
Has Been Bitter Contest.
The case has been a bitter warfare
of legal talents. Neither side since the
opening of the suit, April ~, would
concede the slightest point, and there
fore the work of arriving at the very
bottom Of the saloon petition and its
1 sufficiency or insufficiency, has been
a tedious legal proposition. The total
vote at the last general election was
1888 and according to these figures it
was necessary for the revocation petit
ton to contain over one-half or ma
jority. The plaintiff, Mills. endeavored
to show at the very start that the sig
natures on the petition numbered o.
904, and in order to satisfy the pro-
tests of the defendants that a grea.
many of the signatures We're of men
who We're not entitled to sign owing
to them not being registered; not
voted; minors; non-residents of OF.
tuf1iwa; not properly verified to, and
lastly, duplicates. In order to deter
mine this. the plaintiff subpoenaed
each man whose signature attached
to the petition was challenged. The
claim of the defendants was that the
petition was insufficient by $50 names
while the contention of the plaintiff
was that the petition contained ma.
iority Of a least 104 names over thu
required number.

for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery OF civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system Of charities now so essential
a part Of modern life. is to a very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle Of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan Of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty stricken
and crime-infested East end of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force Of mind and
personality and the momentum that 1t
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity It has developed into truly
astonishing organization.
Some of the departments of It's
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity

homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades,
hospital and benevolent visitation, po-
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No other religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into SO many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
manity grew naturally out of the de-
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
Its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local ef-
forts to help few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater Charity has be-
come science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional quail
ification. These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe-
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women, for in
stance, who are to go among the
slums OF the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be Sc
cured They must understand by n
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched-
ness. They must understand the dan
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage OF those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and TO inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but a small part Of the
university's training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel-
list, but it serves to show of what value
such an organization will be.

some religious training and convic-
