ting ria OF the intolerabls conditions
a. to public utilities which the people
Of this community have endured but
nothing has come Of it. The coming
OF the Cedar Rapids men Is someth1nS
that was not foreseen and something
with which neither the newspaper nor
the council has had anything 70 90.
They simply came and tho council has
acted wisely in accepting what Will
prove the best thing that is practicable
for our city. However. when the T-R.
tries to help out on an antt-saloon
fight the opposition makes Norris the
paramount issue. II the Times-Re-
publican says good word for canda-
date tho opposition Immediately
charges that Norris owns him. 20 IN
this case the Times-Republican 10 go
Ing to do Just what it did in the Oar
ling franchise campaign, tell the people
where it stands and then keep out OF
the fight. Mr.. Ingledue Is making the
mistake Of his life when he thinks tnat
he Is slapping any of the Times-Re-
publican's kids when he attacks bet
ter franchise than the one he proposed
himself.
Complaint has been made to this Of
fee that road supervisors have beer
negligent in dragging the country
roads. Last week the MarsnaHtowi
ends of the Marietta road and OF the
LeGrand road were reported in bad
condition. With plenty OF money witt
which to pay for dragging there Is nc
excuse for inattention to duty In the
matter and there are severe penalties
provided in the law for negligence
Let's get into this dragging business
right this year.
The ministers OF the city have beer
doing some detective work on thei'
cwn account in having committee Of
citizens attend theater performance
Of which there was suspicion and theil
public censure OF the sale OF booklets
Of nude art put out for sale because
Of their suggestiveness was vel
founded. The management OF thu
Odeon has made a sad mistake an<
should acknowledge it. Busby Bros. To-
years have given the Odeon capable
and clean management and for thai
reason solely have they been permitted
by sufferance to conduct Sunday the
aters in Marshalltown. which couls
have been closed by public clamor
They should not have assumed tn
risks Of putting on a Moulin Rouge II
Mafshalltown, even If as show mel
they or their manager can't see tn
objectionable part OF II themselves
They have made a mistake and shoult
be men enough to acknowledge it.
