labor's forum. And at the end of the
day labor had presented some ques-
tons to the church which will re-
main unanswered.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, who
appeared at the meeting unexpect-
eddy, presented labor's case, and the
Rev. ]. P. Brushingham of the South
Park Methodist church argued for
closer relationship between the
church and labor.
A few weeks ago when agitation
for "Go-to-Church" Sunday was at its
height the Church Federation sent an
invitation to the Chicago Federation
asking it to get into the body.
AS an answer the labor body invited
the ministers to come to one of the
federation. meetings and learn some
thing of applied Christianity"
The Rev. Mr.. Brushingham is the
only minister who has accepted the
invitation.

with being parasites" said Brushing
ham. 81 don't believe Pm a parasite.

there'd be no situations like that at

and get down to earth
Samuel Gompers was then intro
duced amid a din of enthusiasm.
He spoke of the growth of the la
Dor movement in the United States
and complimented the Chicago body
for the part it has played.
He also spoke of the great aid rem
dered the entire United States by it's
progressive principles.
"Our fight is the fight of all work.
ing people, whether they are mem
bers of trade unions or not" he said,
because we've got to improve the
condition of all.
But we are hindered by the blind
ness of some in not joining the
unions. We can't get an 8-hour day
or stool for the overworked depart
ment store girls because they won't
affiliate with us and help carry on the
fight.
Some one here today spoke of the
three Amalthea prisoners in Sweden
and their being placed in Jail through
the tyranny of the Swedish govern
ment. You don't have to go so far
as Sweden to find tyranny.
Think of Jim Larkin's struggle in
Ireland, think of the recent deporta-

lions at Burlington and reports in.
teresting sessions.
He reports also what might have
been very serious accident. Just
as company of lawyers were de-
barking from a boat at the Burling-
ton wharf, the boom which holds
the gang plank broke and fell. This
boom was about the size of a large
telephone pole and it was miracle
that many were not injured. Judge
S. M. Weaver was struck by the
boom and at first it was thought he
was killed, but the most serious of
his injuries was a broken shoulder.
Judge Weaver's friends here will re-
greet to hear of this accident.

Cost Large but INSIGNIFICANT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Contracts
have been let in Webster City for a
drainage district that lies partly in
Story county. The cost will be
$4,000 and there are 1880 acres to
be redeemed. This will make the
work cost about $40 per acre. But
what signifies $40 when the acre
will be worth anywhere from SITS
up after it has been protected
against excessive moisture. This
will be one of the largest drainage
contracts to be awarded in that sec
ton Of the state this year. The fact
is that the work Of drainage in this
section Of the state must be nearing
as it has been prosecut-
ed with great vigor during a number
Of years. These districts are drain
age districts pure and simple, while
the districts on the Mississippi have
very expensive pumping plants and
great levees and are engineering
works of great Importance.

ATTRACTING TRADE
TO LARGE CENTERS
That is What the Parcel Post Ap-
pears to be Doing-Small
Towns Suffer.

The parcel post is proving very
handy to householders in the trans
portation of food and other articles
and it is already demonstrated that
this device is changing the centres
of commerce materially, in the main
at the expense of the smaller towns.
Many instances might be cited of
the purchase of commodities in Chi
cago by residents of small towns
throughout the west who have here
tofore patroniZed the local dealers,
and large quantities of merchandise
are coming from the east direct
from producer to consumer. This
chastens the local storekeeper, and
considerable effect has been produc-
ed on retail prices.
At the recent convention of the
National Wholesale Grocers' Associ-
alton in Minneapolis, protest was
made against the parcel post service
by Oscar B. McGlasson, of Chicago,
president of that body. He declared
that the parcel post was centraliz-
ing business in this country in the
hands of a few concerns, "and the
steel, Oil and Tobacco trusts will
soon be pigmies compared with the
mail order trusts and with the Unit
ed States as chief partner and no
share of the profits" He declared it
an outrage that the government
should be carrying commodities for
compensation far below the cost
of the service and he calls for a
strong protest by the banking and
industrial interests. The local deal
ers are powerless against this COM
petition.
Some people are now using the
service of the express companies
rather than that of the parcel post
as protest against what they con-
slider a grave injustice of the gov
eminent in destroying the express
business. They are mainly persons
who do not mind a difference of a
few cents in the cost of transported
ton, but it is unlikely that there
will be enough of them to achieve
anything important.
The parcel post is here to stay
and the merchants of such towns as
Webster City must make the best of
it. They must find some way to
make the new method of transporta-
ton serve them.

HOME TO
co TO DIES MONIES
Fort Dodge Will Lose Institution al
Result of the Recent Fire
There.

Fort Dodge, June 27.-FinaI de.
cision as to the future location OF
Benedict Home has been made by the
directors and announced today. The
home is to be taken back to Des
Moines, its original location, and
temporary quarters have been pro-
cured already where the inmates
will be moved the latter part of the
week. This action definitely re-
moves from the vicinity of Fort
Dodge a worthy and prosperous in
stitution that has been located at
Willowedge Farm, near this city, for
the last seven years.
Still another reason that contrib
uted to the decision to take the home
to Des Moines was the fact that
while the home management lays
great stress on the secrecy which
will surround the identity of inmates
it is much more difficult too observe
this rule in small town. Because
this has been found true the useful
ness of the home has been impaired
because girls have feared publicity
if they came here and have therefore
remained away.
Figuring also in the decision to go
back to Des Moines, is the fact that
a bequest of $4,000 by the Callahan
estate at Des Moines, is made to "The
Benedict Home of Des Moines. I"
Without the necessity for a certain
amount of litigation this could not
be procured while the home is not
located at Des Moines. The board
does not desire to engage in litiga-
ton and therefore this situation had
influence in bringing about the de-
cision to go back.
No suitable temporary quarters
for the home could be found in Fort
Dodge and very good location was
procured at once in Des Moines. This
will be occupied until permanent
quarters can be bought. All of the
girls of the home whom it was pos
sible to dismiss are being sent to
their homes.

A Close Call.

Frank ]. Bentley and son Arthur
had a hair raising experience ir
Eagle Grove Wednesday morning
They had gone to that place to do a
Job of lathing in the country for a
retired merchant of Eagle Grove who
is building a new house on his farm.
They started to the farm in the
Eagle Grove mans auto and while
crossing the Great Western railroad
track the auto ran into a moving
train, the driver of the auto not see
ing the train until too late to stop.
The auto was turned completely
around and knocked fifteen feet from
the wagon road. 1t was badly de-
molished. Strange to relate, the &C.
cupants of the car escaped injury
with the exception of the boy, who
had some slight bruises. 1t was GER
tainly lucky escape.

Of woman will be heard in the halls
Of congress. 1t is only because men
are afraid she will take some of
their "fat Jobs" that she is denied
political equality. Who can deny the
ability of Queen Victoria as ruler?
We have plenty of her equals here in
America who are only awaiting the
opportunity to demonstrate their fit
ness and ability.
The piano solos by Mrs. w. H.
Cook, Miss Grace Fuller and Miss
Mildred G. Smith were finely eXecut-
ed and highly appreciated by the au-
dience, as were also the vocal solo
by Miss Smith, and the piano and
violin duet by Miss Lizzie White
and Miss Winnie Wolgamot The
mandolin club dispensed some excel
lent music throughout the program
and was heartily applauded. The
song by the double quartette was ap-
propriate for the occasion and well
received.
Let the good work for equality &C
on, and the time will soon come
when woman will have the same
right to vote that she new has tc
own property and pay taxes.

now say "The time is at hand?"
