ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Still CONTINUES
Rain Of the Past Few Day. Has In.
creased the Dissemination Of
the Earnest
Workers.
ADDITIONAL WORKERS
An Illustration Of What The People
Arc Doing at Bingham
ton. New
York.

The rain of Monday which delayed
thu Y. w. c. A. workers, only increas-
ed their determination to push the
harder when the weather permits.
More workers aere enlisted and more
names given out. Ths workers are
determined that during this week
every one shall have an opportunity
to give to this cause. Many questions
about the building and the organiza1
ticn are being asked and answered.
so 1t is safe to say that the people
OF Keokuk have never been better In.
formed than now on the work Of the
Y W. G. a. People have been slow
to realize that the campaign Is really
on, and yet many ask as they pass In
and cut of the association rooms,
How are things going?' Many pledge
cards are out and the end of the week
will no doubt see the returns begin
to roll up. Everywhere the greatest
satisfaction is expressed with this
building and evryone desires to see /.
opened free of debt.
The business women are dropping
In one by one to ask. "Will five dol
lars be a help can give ten dol
lars, if that Will help" While eager
workers coming in for further names
say, "Ill see that one" or "I'il ask
Mrs. Jones to Gee him" This is the
time to find all the friends of the
association. and no one of the work.
ers will be offended to find that some
one has hitherto been an unknown
friend. BinghamtcE. n. ". has jus,
raised 100000 for the two associa-
tons. the Y. NJ. and the Y. w. G. A.,
and an editorial in the Binghamton
Republican-Herald reads as follows:
1T was most democratic cam
raign Those who have much gave
much. Those who have little gave
literally of their smaller means, Tbs
large and small gifts, all rolled to-
gether and consolidated with the
sums pledged in the final moments,
completed the 100000 fund The
slogan of the campaigners was:
What other cities have done Bing.
las;ssss..:;i can do : That hat can be altered
now to read: What other cities have
done Binghamton has equaled" Civic
patriotism has been literally capital-
lied for civic good
The chief value Of the 100000
campaign to our mind. resides in the
fact that 1t has brought the two
Christian associations and their work
directly home to thousands who here,
tofcre have had an indirect. imper-
sonal disposition to regard them fav.
orably. These who now have given u
the associations for the first time will
have keener interest in them ana
their progress from now OF The at
traction OF the direct interest of the
rany represents distinct addition to
the good will of the two Christian as.
sociations.'

composed of those born in that an
vironmcnt. and coming of generations

that this is not true of the slum pop
ulatiun Of London. Most of the low

cd. not of persons born there, but Of
those who rave fallen from a higher
grade of society. lie says that fully
SO per cent Of the slum population of
London comes from respectable
homes, and there. as Il rule. because
