This call on the contingent funds
of the state to pay expenses of Inc
department of justice is getting to be
a habit. 1t will be remembered that
a few years ago Hon. John A. Mead
of Rutland came forward and loaned
money to the state fo- this very
item, when there was no emergency
appropriation as there is now. All
there is different to it this year is
that Governor Fletcher has taken the
opportunity to call attention to il
in a most laudable desire to de.
velop some feasible remedy for the
increase of cost without the improve
ment of service.

AS TO The "WA1ERloo WAY"

The Sioux City Journal commenting
on the proposition to raise s125.O00 thru
a Greater Iowa committee, expresses
much astonishment. Like the rest of
us the Journal had read much in Wa
terloo newspapers of the purpose of
Waterloo to erect this building. It was
the Waterloo way" and was to be
done otter that allegedly Incompatible
fashion. The dispatches all over the
country announced that Waterloo was
to take upon herself the task Of uphold
ing Iowa at the Panama exposition and
that her money would be gladly given
as an opportunity to show the world
how Waterloo does things. 1t got the
notices and the Journal asks
How comes it now that the building
is to be built and paid for by the cities
of the state?"
Then the Journal goes on in comment
and argument thus:
This newspaper believes in advertis-
ing. It believes in such booster or
the name of the Greater Iowa commit
tee providing that its energies be given
to boosting Iowa in general and not
playing pet localities. It has serious
doubts. however, whether such an in
vestment as is proposed in far away
Frisco would prove profitable for Iowa
dollars. 1t questions whether there is
very much real sentiment in Iowa in
favor Of such an investment. The pro-
ject to provide state appropriation for
San Francisco could not find a leg to
stand upon in the late legislature. Later
when an effort was made to interest
the commercial clubs of the various
cities there was practically no response.
Now after single city has taken the
contract on its own account it is pro-
posed that other cities, out of loyalty
to Iowa. buy stock in the enterprise.
It is the opinion of The Journal that
II Iowa Is to spend $125,000, plus many
additional tens of thousands, in adver-
Using its many advantages the money
can be expended to better advantage
than by trying to run feeble little
show In competition with the various
big advertising shows at the San Fran
cisco exposition. Usually when a
shrewd advertiser appropriates large
sum for publicity the first thing he tries
to make sure OF is getting his advertts-
cially interested In It. The crowds at
the San Francisco exposition will be
drawn there by Pacific coast attractions
and their interest In the main will 90 ia

these stories. The stories Of these
lepers elite creep unbidden into the
minds Of every boy and girl to poison
corrupt, and desecrate. All, and more.
The boys and girls take due note OF the
fact that such moral lepers are not u.s.
ually ostracised by business. by lodges,
by churches, or by society and they
reason at critical times that there Is
ample excuse for them. They can not
fail to see that other far more preten-
tious sinners are condoned by silence
and approved by association. Why not
them?
THESE poisonous thoughts and ex-
amples form the foundation for mil
itary weddings, deserted mothers. d.
vorces,. ruined virtue, and despoiled
manhood and womanhood.
Fathers and mothers 50 often travel

THE ELITE MORAL LEPER

y. S-OullLy SlliHSi.J
The effect of this universal TABOO
of the moral leper Of the bawdy sort IS
that a general influence on boys and
girls for the bad is not great. 1t IS only
the individual and more or less isolated
cases that fall and suffer.
Moral leprosy Of the elite brand tells
an entirely different tale. Some man
in the community has gone wrong with
an employe. stenographer, or a clerk,
or q domestic. He wears good clothes,
occupies q prominent place in public
affairs, is conspicuous in lodge and
civic work. and fills pew well UP TO
the front in church. Another man
backed by plenty Of money, commits
fornication, breaks the rules of COM
mon decency, and faunts his contain
mated rags in the face OF an outraged
public. His money holds him up. Peo-
pie toady and kowtow. They want
little piece Of the money and lack man
hood. They excuse the leper on the
ground that he is a pretty good fellow,
etc. Other people do not approve 81
such characters but say nothing. They
don't care to dirty their linen and they
are not particularly open to censure. a
few people are outspoken and fearless.
