Main Street SprinkIina.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
The following petition, with more
than two hundred names signed
thereto, has been presented to the
City Council:
I'VE, the undersigned merchants of
the city of ISeokuk would petition
your Honorable Body that II the
sprinkling of the paved streets be
found necessary, that same be taken
charge of and done by the city
1t has been the custom for the mer-
chants on Main and adjoining streets
to pay by subscription, the expense
Iof sprinkling the streets. 1t is evident
sumo this burden, which would
throw the expense of the work upon
the taxpayers Of the whole city. The
tax payers at the present time stand
the expense of a one-horse sweep
err which is operated in this same
territory; the expense Of cleaning the
streets and cutters by hand, once or
twice a year. with the aid of the
large four-horse sweeper and the oc-
casional cleaning of the streets BY
the fire department by flushing.
Should the city undertake the work
of sprinl1ling at the present time, it
would have to contract with the par.
ties who now do this work, Cameron
& Sons, as they are the only one fully
equipped for the work in hand
So the whole question seems to be,
who should bear the expense of this
work Should the city undertake it,,
would not the citizens living two
blocks or more from Main street, with
equal Justice, demand that the city
sprinkle their streets?
The revenue of the city for the
current year comes from the tax lev
led last fall, which is now being col
lected in part. This levy is ten per
cent less than the levy of the year
previous and is not sufficient to COW
er the cost of this sprinkling, in addi-
ton to the regular work of the city,
expense of the departments, etc. plan
ned for the current year.
In view of the amount of money
spent by the general taxpayers for
the care of Main street and the adj
joining streets. would 1t be fair TO
burden the general tax payers with
this further expense?
Are not the benefits derived from

with tact and deftness which only
helghtens their enjoyment, as a con
trast to the fun of a moment before.
Another merit of the play is that it
is absolutely clean. There is not a
suggestive line or scene, and, as to
the girls, no prettier more youthful
or merrier chorus was ever assembled
The show girls are regally beautiful,
set have no lack Of animation, whiio
the little girls are childishly eager
and happy in their delightful dances.
Frank Smithson staged the produc-
ton and his name is synonymous with
striking originality, grace and action.
The play is by w. c. Duncan and
Frank Smithson, while the music is
by Karl Hoschna who has to his
credit more real money-making sue
cesses than any other composed of to-
day.
An exceptionally strong cast has
been gathered together consisting as
it does of May yolles, Clarence Har-
vey. Violet Colby, Josie Intropidi,
Florence May, Anna Wilkes, Jed
Prouty, Bert Baker, Fred Nice, d. w.

ONLY one Can
TRACE ORIGIN.
pr. Geo. Glslinser Attracts Large
Crowd to lecture, Jesus Christ
and the Supernatural
Order"
ABOUT CATHOLICISM
With Exeeptance Of God, Every Be.
ing Owes Existence to "cause''

Said.
ABOUT CATHOLICISM

Last nights lecture OF Jesus Christ
and the Supernatural Order" by Rev,
DR.. Geo. Giglinger. attracted large
crowd to ST. Mary's church.
He said in part that with the ex.
ception OF God, every being owed it's
existence to another being called
cause. The churches also have an ex-
istence which they owe to someone
who is called their founder.
Whilst all christian denominations
believe that Christ founded a church
there is but one church that can trace
it's origin historically back to Christ
Himself and that is the Catholic.
Christ's mission in this world was to
place man on higher plane. to raise
him to supernatural end and make
him "partake of the divine nature"
Christ never taught arts or sciences
which man could learn of himself but
confined Himself to teaching the way
to heaven. We stand in awe before
the powers of nature and yet a single
thought OF mans mind is greater than
the whole planetary system, for 1t is
by thought that man weighs, measures
and controls the powers of nature
and Utilities them for his own benefit.
Everything can be made to serve man
as an instrument, but man himself
is greater than his instrument. God
has given men destiny which is
above his surroundings, and his nat
ural energies; it is no othey than Gid
Himself. BY sin the soul rebelled
against God and the body against the
soul, hence we frequently find today
that the soul which ought to be the
master becomes the slave and servant
OF the bodily appetites. The highest
non-chrIstian culture of antiquity was
everywhere failure. Cultured Ath.
ems numbered 10000 citizens and 4oO-
900 slaves. In Rome some rich citi-
zens owned 5000 slaves. The whole
Roman law covering this point was
founded on the following senteace:
There are three kinds of voice: those
endowed with a half-voice and those
that are mute. Those endowed with
voice are the slave; those with a
(, half-voice are the oxen and horses;
the mute are the plows and other i'm
plements of farming" Mans supernat-
ural christian faith should control all
his actions. Christians should not be
satisfied to educate their children to
be righteous men and women in the
worldly meaning of the word without
regard to their supernatural end
From the remotest antiquity there
stood in Rome, Italy, within the pre-
cincts of Nero's gardens a magnificent
obelisk OF red granite that witnessed
the fortunes of thousands of Catholic
martyrs for the sake of their faith
The same obelisk stands there today
in what is called the piazza of st.
Peters church, but it carries at its
top smau particle of the true CROSS
OF Christ, impressing more deeply on

Just a Passerby.

A play that smacked wildly of Eng

passerby, Ian Robertson, The Passing

be the deepest of the seasons dramas
for theatre goers last night at the

proved entertaining for admirers Of
the dramatic and at times, unfathom-
able works of Jerome X. Jerome.

"a comedy with music and reason
has been the designation applied to
"Katie-Did'' the new comic musicality

ty and tuneful, snappy and dashy, it
is beyond all question the best of
the series of Gates productions,
which includes, Three Twins"
Bright Eyes THE Girl of Ny
Dreams, and other record breaking
successes.
The characters in Katie Did, are
every day men and women, pictured
with fidelity to life, who are SO natur-
al and so human that they create an
instant sympathy with the audience,
making them appreciative and alb
serbingly interested from the rise to
the fall Of the curtain.

Guthrie. Okla, Feb. 17-Attorney
General West in an opinion Wednes-
day to Governor Lee Cruce holds that
one legislative measure may contain
the appropriations for charitable and
penal institutions and public buildings.
and also that single bill may contain
appropriations for state building, its
equipment an dother articles to be
used in its maintenance.
He has also told the governor that
women are eligible to appointment as
he might desire, as regents for the
state university, the normal school
and deaf and dumb school, but that
they cannot serve as trustees of the
state Confederate home, because the
law says such trustees. so far as prac-
ticable, shall have served in the army
or navy of the Confederate states.
