three guards come into this little
room and each have a knife which
is as sharp as a razor and when the
string and no one is supposed to
know which one is the fatal string,
but l guess they all feel guilty. We
then went to the death cell or where
the condemned man is put five days
before his execution. On the walls
are all sorts of writing done by the
poor doomed devils One of them
was this: Here dies an innocent
man who has been horsed by 9TH
ers." In this cell is nothing but a
chair and table. The gas jet
hangs from the ceiling so there is
no chance for a suicide. Outside of
this room is a carpet which is about
four feet from the cell. On this
carpet the prisoners friends are al
lowed to stand and communicate
with him before his death. They
are not allowed to get off the carpet
and a guard walks between them
and the cell continually. so there is
no chance to slip him anything. We
went back out, but before going we
each bought a souvenir from this
boy. 1t was made by man who
spent % years in this prison.
When we got out it was about
800 p. m. and we had had nothing
to eat since breakfast, so we hurried
back to Sansileto and had a dandy
feed on the boat gring back. This
was most certainly the finest educa-
tional trip that | have ever taken.

SWEZEY ON SANITATION.
DEBORAH Physician Makes Stirring
Address Before Iowa Health
Officers Association.

In. conjunction with the meeting
of the Iowa League of Municipal
tiles at Waterloo last week, the an
nual meeting of the Iowa Health
Officers Association was held. DR..
A. j. Swezey of this city was presi-
dent of the latter association, and
in the presidents annual address
said some pretty pertinent things
about sanitation and other matters
of general interest. Among other
things, he said
Iowa, being a rich agricultural
state, her sanitary problems. like
the pig pen and COW yard, are sore
ly neglected. 1t is not my Intention
to criticise, for we have two and a
half millions of the best people on
earth, but we have been unfortun-
ate in electing law makers who have
been most liberal in their unworthy,
unfounded and libelous criticism
From the state board of health,
down to the state and American
Medical Association, we have been
dubbed trust. Because we said
you shall not spread contagious dis
eases promiscuosuly, without re-
striction; because we have said you
shall not pollute the water we drink
without paying the penalty; be-
cause we say you shall not sell dis
eascd meats and go unpunisheT;
you shall not dilute the milk we
feed our babies; you shall not adul-
terate the food we feed our children;
you shall not sell poisonous drugs
under innocent labels. Because we
have said thus and stand by our
honest convictions we are called a
trust. | do not mention these things
to discourage my ever faithful sue
cessors; / only mention them that
you may pull your belts one notch
tighter and be prepared for the
fight, for fight it is, confronting the
worst and most aggressive enemy
to public progress, political muck
rakers.'
Zone of our distinguished citi-
zens said: A hero always loves a
fight Let me modify that state
ment by saying that a loyal fight is
always deserving of hero, and
though none of your pictures may
ever hang in the hall of fame, you
can pass into the silences fighting
for no nobler cause than the con-
servation of human life"
Later in his address DR.. Swezey
said
Nov, in the name of all the gods
at once, if it is worth 100000 to
maintain the grandstand, the bee,
the fish, the game and the hog, what
is it worth to maintain and preserve
the health of our men, women,
children and babes?"
The closing part of his address
was as follows:
THE public drinking cup is al
thing of the past Our people must
be shown that flies are more danger
Gus to the north than mosquitoes are
to the south. That our garbage and
sewerage must be taken care of;
that a system of sanitary instruction
should be installed in our public
schools to guide and direct tie
young and growing mind"

Seeing Ourselves as Others See Us

Seeing Ourselves as Others See Us.
The ban is on beggars at DEBORAH.
A committee of three men has been
appointed by the Commercial Club,
and the people have been publicly
urged not to contribute to any trav-
cling solicitor unless he can show a
signed recommendation from at
least one member of this committee.
A wise move. We used to be proud
of being liberal, but now we are
ashamed of helping to encourage
any fake. Yet as some solicitors
represent worthy causes every town
.ught to take pains to distinguish
between good and bad.
The crusade against the public
drinking cup has borne some fruit.
If you want a drink out of a public
fountain at DEBORAH now you have
to carry your own cup.
What probably was the most
heavily loaded car of freight ever
brought into West Union came Mon
day. 1t was a steel gondola carry
ing 100000 pounds of lumber, bill
ed from Des Moines to DEBORAH
The lumber was piled about five
feet higher than the top of a high
box car, making the car so heavy
and especially so top heavy that it
was stopped here and large part
of the lumber reloaded on another
car before the car was permitted to
go over the curves and siding places
between this station and DEBORAH.
