Nine. lahadis Gives Artistic Perform
anes at odson Friday Night.
A more artistic performance, In the
shape Of q dramatic Interpretation of a
play, was never seen locally than in the
appearance at the Odeon Friday night
of Mime. Harriet Labadie in Percy
MacKayes Tomorrow" Only a mere
handful of people greeted the artist
This was Nine. Labadie's first appear
ance here and probably will be her last.
What could have been responsible for
the lack of interest In her appearance is
hard to say, but the fact remains that
patrons refused to become enthused,
even tho the reader was here under
the auspices OF a most worthy cause.
NJ me. Labadies offering in the Mac
Kaye play is most unusual from a lit
erary standpoint, treating as ii does
on the theory of eugenics, and advo-
eating the adoption OF the principles OF
eugenics, as the only solution Of per-
feet race. Eleven characters are intro
duced by the reader during the three
acts of the play.
Nine. Labadie has wonderful voice,
and a most pleasing stage presence
Her inodulatio were so true to her
character that her audience had no
trouble following the introductions OF
the different characters, altho no pro-
grams were used. and no words de-
noting exits or entries We're pro-
nounced,
Nine. Labadie appeared in this city
under the auspices Of the Marshall
County Society for the Prevention of
tuberculosis. Included IN her audience
were several physicians OF the city,
who we're deeply interested in the sub
ject matter of her play.

Local Comment

The new site purchased for the west
end school building is the wisest move
the school board could have made as
it makes possible the building of two
of the essentials of our public school
system; a new building and an athletic
park or city play ground. For hun
dreds of years to come. in fact long
after the building to be erected this
summer has fallen in decay the play
ground will be serving generation aft
er generation Of children who are en-
titled to a child's chance to play. As
the city grows the child is crowded In.
Vacant lots and nearby pastures dis
appear and the favored haunts of our
own joyous boyhood are gone. The
kids of today must do the best they
can on the paved streets jumping be-
tween passing street cars and auto
mobiles. With the new site the kids of
tomorrow and of the next day and of
the next can have grounds for base
ball. for running and for athletics of
all kinds. The Marshalltown school
board is advancing along modern lines.
incidentally, the new location is far
better for a school house.
The news announcement Of the new
site which appeared on the local page
of Fridays T.-R was accompanied by
another news story from Waverly on
the Iowa news page of the same paper
which carries suggestion for local
application. The Woman's Club OF
Waverly is equipping school play
grounds in that town with parapher-
MALTA for cilildren's amusement. There
must be some of those practical kind
of women about Waverly.
AS a usual thing the purchase of au-
tomobiles for public officials can be
classed as u useless luxury and public
extravaganza but in the case of the
county engineer. under the new duties
prescribed by the law which went into
effect this month, an automobile seems
TO become a necessity. Henceforth
Marshall county is TO have a system OF
county roads under the supervision Of
the county engineer, and the law re-
quires that these county roads Shall
extend clear across the county and
shall include the main Travelled roads
leading into all of the towns of the
county. This SO extends the RESPONSE
bility OF the county engineer that he
must be in a position to get about over
his district. which covers territory

lay. If the board buys w-priced and

Is the most economical method of
building road grades. but IL there are
traction engines in the county avail
able to be hired, II can easily become q
safer investment to hire an engine than
to buy one. The question is merely
one of efficiency and price, for it can
be depended upon that to own trac-
ton engine costing from $4,000 to 3d.

probation not less than 20 per cent Of

e
What q good idea can accomplish
when 1t becomes thoroughly understood
is evidenced by the project now deter
mined upon to build a second exhibit
hall for merchants at the fair grounds
This suggestion was repeated and pro-
NOTED persistently for four years,
seemingly without response, but when
1t became acted upon, and people could
see what there was to It, the idea be-
gan to grow faster than the county
fair board could take cure of it.
Citizens of this county who have any
interest in the roads and their condi
ton should give personal attention I'M
mediately to the designation of main
travelled roads as county roads to be
improved and maintained from county
funds. as it is the intention of the new
law that the counties and the state
eventually shall do the nrst permanent
construction and hard surfacing upon
the main travelled roads SO designated
The recent legislature refused to leg
isiate for bond issues, state aid, or
special assessments for hard surfacing
of roads. and gave AS it's reason that
the permanent preparation OF road
grade to proflles and surveys should
come first. and the law which was
passed specifies that this building Of
road grades shall be done preparatory
to the permanent Improvement OF the
roads. Hence 1t follows that when flu
ture Legislatures amend the road laws
they will most naturally build upon the
present law by providing for the hard
surracing of the county roads. which
have been prepared with permanent
foundations and grades. Looking into
the future it Is safe prediction that
the roads which eventually will become
hard surfaced roads, good for travel
every day in the year, will be the roads
which are now being designated as
county roads by the board Of super
visors. Hence the necessity Of obtain
ing the right roads designated at the
start.
While the controversy which is go
ing on between the attorney general OF
the state and Judge Bradshaw, OF this
district, is purely legal one, and
largely of technical procedure, there is
involved in it question Of great pub
lie Importance because OF the fact that
the efficient administration and en-
forcement OF our laws is requiring the
constant enlargement Of power Of the
states prosecuting department Within
recent years we have actually created
a second and independent state prose-
cutor in our commerce counsel, and
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1913-04-26

the last legislature increased the pay
Of the attorney general and OF his as.
sistant for the purpose of enlarging the
| efficiency OF the states prosecuting de-
| partment. Our citisens are learning
| more and more to appeal to the state
prosecutor and If we are to require
that the states lawyer shall appear IN
our localities we must provide HIM
with all Of the opportunity, privileges
and power that belong to the local
prosecutors. in order that he may do
! his work. So 1t is that the public In
terest will be best served in the sue
cess OF the attorney generals demand
OF a right to appear before the grand
jury. and the fear is that Judge Brad
shaW's contention is somewhat out OF
date. II ia Is. the law Is not in har-
mony with the spirit Of the times, and
should the judge be able to sustain his
contention. the next Legislature should
promptly make necessary arrange
ments for our state prosecutors to ap-
pear anywhere and everywhere that
their duty calls them.
q
The suggestion to make former Cher
Of Police Mike" Clark overseer OF the
poor will meet with general endorse
ment Turnout the years or volunteer
labor and official service by the late
Rosa Liebig. mike" Clark was her
most loyal and sympathetic friend and
! assistant. She could always appeal TO
him for help in his official capacity,
either to relieve the poor or to enforce
the truant laws, and Clark today is as
fully conversant with the work as tho
| he had been acting as truant officer
and overseer OF the poor If the county
board decides to appoint Mr.. Clark, the
board should give Mr.. Clark to under
stand that he has been appointed to
take care of the county's poor, and not
simply to guard the county's poor fund.
Marshall county has never, under any
administration. been liberal enough in
its aid Of its poor. with the possible
exception of the service it renders al
the poor farm. and the suspicion is
quite general that charitably inclined
citizens have been compelled to organ
lie Independent associations in order to
relieve distress which should more
properly have been attended to by the
county itself This has not always been
tho fault of the person who acted as
the overseer. but has been due more
particularly to a misunderstanding on
the part Of boards Of supervisors as to
the desire OF the public in this mat
ter. Boards of supervisors in the past
have mistakingly been too economical
in the expenditure OF poor funds while
being free to make liberal investments
in permanent improvements. because
in the one case they could see what
they were getting for their money.
while in the administration Of charity
the expenditure appears upoE the books
and the return from the investment
can be seen only when looking out OF
the windows of large and generous
heart.

Believed the Death List will

Dawson, N. NJ, Oct. 24.-Two hua-
dred and forty-seven miners are be-
lieved to be dead beneath tons of fall
en- earth, timber, coal and rock in tn 2
cuts and rooms of Mine No. 2 of the
Stag Canon Fuel company here Hun
dreds of miners, working in shifts Of
fifteen each, are slowly forcing their
way through the rooms and entries,
fighting against dangers of gas and a
fire which started in an adjoining mine
and which threatens to reach the space
in which the entombed men we're trap
ped.
Only twenty-three men have been
taken from the mine alive. Early To-
night the first miner to be rescued
alive within twelve hours, was taken
from the main entry. He was found
unconscious not far from the place
where a mule earlier in the evening
had been found alive.
Fourteen bodies and twenty-threa
rescued make the total of the days
work of recovery. The finding of the
live mule in the mine late today en-
couraged officials in charge of the res
cue work to hope that some live min
ers, perhaps, are still entombed in a
room located more than 1000 feet from
an entrance.

Washington, D CSs Oct, 24.-Devei-
orments of few hours today in the
relations between the United States
and Mexico emphasized gravity Of
affairs more omnious than at any
time since President Wilson's ad-
miristration began. Absolute silence
was the order in official quarters.
The release of the Ward liner,
Moro Castle, after peremptory de-
mands by the United States termi-
mated delicate situation. Orders
were in preparation to the command
ers of the American war ships lying
off Vera Cruz to insist on her re-
lease.
A statement was In preparation to-
day by Secretary Bryan and Counsel
lor John Bassett Moore, which Sec-
retary Bryan brought to the white
house for the presidents approval.
No intimation as to it's contents was
revealed, but there was every reason
to believe that before many hours
had passed notice by the United
States that it will not brook Eur J.
pean interference in Mexico by the
warships dispatched to Mexican WI
ters by the various foreign govern
ments, would be proclaimed 1t IS
understood also that the United
States by the same statement, VIII
reiterate the American policy that
only governments founded On consti-
tutional law and order will be recog-
nized on the western hemisphere.
The situation had assumed such as
poets that it was considered possible
that President Wilson might cancel
at the last moment his trip to Mobile,
Ala. He had planned to leave early
tomorrow and be gone until Tuesday
night. There was doubt in the presi-
dents mind as to whether he could af
ford to leave Washington at this time.
