GLOWING TRIBUTE
TO The VETERANS
Rev. J. Jas. DePree, Of Presbyterian
Church, Eulogized Veterans and
Noble Women.
HE SUGGESTS ARBITRATION
Describes the Crue!ties of War and
the Suffering and Misery In
cdent Thereto.

Grand Army memorial services were
held at the Presbyterian church on
Sunday morning, the sermon being de-
liyered by Rev. J. Jas. DePree. Not
withstanding the unfavorable weather,
there was a good attendance of old
soldiers, members of the Relief Corps,
Sons of Veterans and citizens gener-
ally. The speaker paid glowing
tribute to the soldiers Of the civil war
who gave their services and lives to
the preservation of the union. He
eulOgized the noble women who cared
for and nursed the sick and wounded
soldiers during their service in the
war. He complimented the Sons of
Veterans on account of their dis
tinguished parentage and sought to
inspire them with the ambition to take
up and carry out the work so we'll be-
gun by their fathers. The speaker
made strong plea in favor of settling
all disputes by arbitration. He de-
scr!bed the cruelties of war and the
suffering and misery incident to it,,
and urged that it is the duty of all
good citizens to throw their influence
in favcr of a policy Of arbitration.

COUNSEL TAKES EX.
CEPTlONS T0ARTICLE
Hon. Jacob Sims, Attorney for East
Boyer Telephone Co., Writes
Letter to Review.
WILL ASK FOR A RE-HEARING
Review Informant More Familiar With
Case Than Anyone Connected
With Paper-Case is Cited

Hon. Jacob Sims, one of the at
torneys for the East Boyer Telephone
company, in it's recent litigation
against the town Of VAIL in a letter
written to the editor, takes excep-
tions to that portion of the account
of the litigation and decision published
in the Review last week, which stated
clat the case was forever settled"
The information was given Us and
the statement written by one more
familiar with the history Of the case
than any person connected with the
Review. From reading that account
it appears that decree in the case
was rendered, as therein stated, by
the trial court, in favor of the tele-
phone company. On appeal to the
supreme court this was sustained; a
petition for rehearing was filed by the
town of Vail and granted by the su-
pTeme court and an order entered di-
recting the case to be reargued in
print.
Counsel for the telephone company
and other counsel appearing as
friends of the court filed able and eX-
haustive arguments against a rehear-
ing, and while the case was pending
on rehearing, a decision was handed
down by the supreme court in the case
of the Farmers Telephone Company of
Quimby VS.. The Incorporated Town of
Washta, Iowa, involving the identical
proposition, in favor Of the town and
against the telephone company, and
following the decision in the Washta
case the supreme court on the 10th Of
May decided the question adversely
to the East Boyer Telephone company,
holding that the company had no
autt tority to erect its poles in nor
string its wires over and across the
streets and alleys Of the town, nor
maintain telephone exchange there
in.
If the foregoing is sufficient war
rant for the statement in the Review,
then Mr.. Sims exception is not well
taken.
We think it is due, however, to say
that the telephone company has filed
a petition for rehearing, which is now
pending, and if it should be sustained,
Mr.. Sims contention would appear to
be well founded.

MARY HARRIS ARMOUR
One of Foremost Leaders in w. c. T
U. Circles to Speak in Deniscn
on June Sd.

Denison people appreciate a good
lecture, and with the coming Of Mrs.
Armour they will enjoy hearing her
of whom it is said, She is vigorous,
eloquent and extremely captivating
speaker" No admission fee will be
charged for this lecture, and the opera
house should be filled to hear SO able
a woman. Here are few of the many
good things written in the Mason City
Globe-Gazette after her lecture in that
city one evening last week:
Mrs. Armour is veritable gattling
gun of facts and her argument is
most telling. For years She has been
in the fore-ranks OF the W. c. T. U.
movement in America. She was born
aud bred in a southern home, lives
there still, is. the mother OF five chill
dren, has seen life in many of its as
poets and has moved among the great
and mighty Of the land in her work OF
reform. Her pleas are on a lofty
plane, convincing even to the most
prejudiced, encouraging to the dis
couraged and stimulating to the indo-
lent"
No matter if you know you will dis
agree with Mrs. Armour, it is but fair
to hear her, for anyone will be biased
who knows only one side Of a ques-
ton. Mrs. Armour tells how Georgia
went dry and this has been a puzzle
to II. my of u.s. Do not fail to hear her

WOODS PRIVATE
SECRETARY HERE
J. II. Kelly, Secretary to Congressman
Woods, Visits Denison Friends
in Hopes Of Winning Votes.
HAS ABILITY OF HIS SUPERIOR
Many Denison Friends Prefer Kelly to
Woods and II Candidate
Would Not Object.

| Mr.. J. H. Kelly, whose home is at
Emmetsburg, Iowa, and who is acting
as private secretary for Congressman
| Woods, has been drafted into service
to help secure the denomination of
his chief, and is spending several days
in the district trying to persuade the
voters to support Mr.. Woods. If Mr..
Kelly himself was a candidate for con-
gress there are a great many Deni-
son people who would support him
because they recognize in him quail
fjcations that make him attractive
and from the standpoint of ability he
is fully the equal if not the superior,
of the man whom he is supporting for
congress. We have heretofore ap-
pealed to the friends of Mr.. Woods
to point out something to indicate his
qualifications to fill the office which
he has held for nearly four years or
to suggest something that he has &C
complished for his district or ceun-
try, and we have suggested that if his
most ardent supporters will furnish
single instance Of what he has done
that congressman should do to claim
the right of denomination, we will
cheerfully give consideration to the
fact. No one has appeared to accept
the challenge and the best that has
been offered in his behalf is that he
wishes the Office for another term be-
cause politically he stands for the
kind of republicanism that large
number of persons in this district ad.
vocate. The tenth congressional dis
trict is entitled to man OF ability
to represent it, because it is the larg-
est district in the state. Paul Still
man, his opponent, is much greater
man from an intellectual and moral
standpoint than the present incum-
bent. Mr.. Woods has no right while
drawing salary of $625 per month,
to spend in the neighborhood Of two
months at the governments expense
trying to induce his constituents to re-
nominate him. If, after serving two
terms, he is without record to COM
mend him for denomination, then he
should submit to defeat. Mr. Woods
has no right to abandon his post of
duty at Washington and bring his
private secretary back to Iowa with
him to help secure his denomination.
There should at least be some one in
Washington to look after congression-
al duties. If the only duty Of con-
gressman is to take his time and that
of his private secretary to aid in Sc
curing his denomination, theS we
might as we'll be without con-
gressman. We are in favor of
Paul Stillman's nomination to sue
ceed Mr.. Woods because he is able,
conscientious and effective, and if he
should be fortunate enough to be sent
to congress we would have repre-
sentative who can stand upon his feet
and make speech and one who would
not have to dodge and excuse himself
when his district called upon him to
speak. 1t is up to the people to choose
between these two men at the pri-
mary to be held on next Monday.

"As You Like It," Shakespearean
play, was presented by the graduating
class OF the high school Tuesday even
ing of this week at the Germania opera
house before one of the largest audi
ences that has ever congregated at
any entertainment. Seventeen mem
bers of the class appeared In the cast
of the play, and to say that they did
exceptionally we'll would be putting
it mildly, for from the raising OF the
curtain until the end OF the iact act
the audience was held is wrapt atten-
ton.
The play was given in five acts, the
scene being in France during the sew
enth century. Orlando, the part TAX
es by Vernon Carr, was most diff
cult one indeed, but was splendidly
handled by him. He is kept at home
with a mere living by his elder broth
er, Oliver, who has charge of his
fathers estate. The part of Oliver
was taken by Charles Kemming, who
acted the part of the domineering
brother to perfection. He did not over
do his part, but realized all there was
in the role. Gail Carey acted the two
roles of the Exiled Duke and Charles,
the Wrestler, which were both diff
cult ones and were handled exceeding
w we'll. The Duke is banished by his
brother, Duke Frederick, who permit
ted his niece to remain at the castle
as companion to his daughter, Celia.
Duke Frederick was represented by
Rolla Terry and he did simply fine and
presented his part throughout the play
without hitch. The part OF his
daughter, Celia, was represented by
Alma Wright, and as the demure
daughter of naughty father was in
deed a success. The niece OF Duke
Frederick was admirably presented by
Miss Margaret Carey. This Part was
the leading role in the play and OF
course the most difficult one, but she
played the part Of Rosalind in q most
artistic and, pleasing manner. Clar-
ence Cham merblin. as sylvins, .
