Many Applications for Papers.

There has been ia applications for
first naturalization papers and IS for
second papers during the past month.
Two thirds of the applicants for first
papers are Italians. More of that
nationality have signified their inten-
ton to become citizens of the United
States during the past month than
during the five years preceding. This
fact is attributed to the probability
of Italy becoming involved in the
present war.

ENFORCEMENT AT DAVENPORT
Davenport Times

After the warning County Attorney
Jebens has given to them. the owners
of property suspected Of being used
for immoral purposes will have no
reason to complain II, falling to abate
the nuisance, they find themselves ana
their property penalized under the
new Iowa red light law. 1t is not
necessary for the county attorney TO is
sue warning to property owners. he
does that merely as an act OF Kindness
Every citizen is presumed to know
what the laws are and it is assumed
that owners of property take some
pride in not rentink places to be used
for illegal purposes. Experience has
proved, however. that some owners OF
property are not SO much concerned
with who occupies their property or
what use is made of 1t as they are in
getting a high rent that Us promptly
paid. This form of greed has led many
owners to take chances in the past or
10 ignore information concerning the
character of occupants. Now. how
ever. the owner of the property is
equally liable with the renter for what
is done on the premises. and this is
bound TO have a good effect as soon as
It is discovered that the law can and
will be enforced.

the booze murders and the booze acct
dents point back to these law abiding"
institutions and the "decency" of their
kind. And quite as naturally some as
constituent arises that community Of
such class should maintain them in
view of the facts and that a journal OF
light and civilization such as the Ce-
dar Rapids Republican should never
have raised a protesting whisper
against the local booze traffic.
Folks will take notice Of the neigh
bors. That's human nature. When an
educated citizen of wealth and refine
ment gets drunk Of a Saturday night
his neighbors note and regret IT. Some
times they mention it. 1t has come to
this in Iowa that a refined and pleas
ant gentleman can't run a saloon and
retain social prestige, run for office or
be president of the commercial club or
a member of prominent fraternities
But people are not pecking away at
him when they act thus. At least
they 90 not mean TO be unjust. They
are measuring him by the yardstick of
modern social understanding and later
scientific knowledge. And that is just
as true Of towns as of persons.
Cedar Rapids is a nice town. full of
nice people and with two good news
papers. All OF which makes for the
greater wenGe-ment that bunch OF
booze distributors can sufficiently con-
troll public sentiment and newspaper
influence to maintain the statutory
limit of man traps there.
If there is complaint to make it is
not OF the T.-R. which commented in
friendly spirit upon condition made
public by Cedar Rapids officials and
Cedar Rapids newspapers.

CEDAR RAPIDS CASE

The Cedar Rapids Republican COM
plains, uniustly in view of the facts
that the Marshalltown Times-Repub-
lican keeps pecking away at Cedar
Rapids because Cedar Rapids has a
few law abiding saloons. very decent Of
their kind, or because this city has out
grown Marshalltown" The Republican
goes on to complain without sufficient
foundation that
1T keeps raking up everything in
I'D to Cedar Rapids. And yet here we
feel that we are very decent people,
almost as good as any others in Iowa
Here everything is very cleanly, physi-
caIly and morally, not perfect. Of
course not, for 1t is only in places like
Marshalltown that human perfection
can be attained, and there it is at
tanned under constant editorial super
vision"
The Republican Is mistaken. The
Tires-Republican recognizes Cedar
Rapids as one Of the better class COM
munities Of this better class state; nor
is Marshalltown or the T.-R. jealous of
the fine growth that city has made, for
Marshalltown is thrifty and growing
well also and has small occasion for
envy OF jealousy. On the contrary this
city and its newspaper are pleased and
cities, physically and otherwise.
The T.-R. is without blame in this
matter The allegation of a crime wave
In Lam county was made by Linn
peace officer and printed in a Cedar
Rapids paper with the prediction from
the sheriffs office that state agents
would be asked for assistance. Some
comment surely was justified upon that
matter Il only because OF the intern
perate opposition to state agents which
had been carried on by the Cedar Rap
ids Republican. The mere fact that a
community Of such class as Cedar Rap
ids found itself In such aggravated
criminal conditions would naturally set
persons seeking the cause.
Now where was the cause? The same
Cedar Rapids papers told the story OF
the boys and the booze and the auto in
the ditch. They related the details Of
murder close by. murder kindled by IL
uuor. Back Of all this was the contin-
ued protest Of towns tributary to Ce-
dar Rapids against the man and boy
traps which the Republican lists as
claw abiding and decent OF their
kind" Logically the crime wave and

NATAToRIUM is NEEDED.

There are few accomplishments as

THOSE LITTLE CHILDREN.

+ At Ottumwa one or the most 1npor-
tant businesses in the world is being
conducted to the great profit OF the
public and without profit to the promo
tiers and managers Of the business it
self. There is no money but plenty Of
hard work and trouble and worry in it.
Withal it is exceptionally successful.
This isn't puzzle but a statement of
fact. The business is the Ottumwa Or
phans Home. It's purpose is to give
children 8 chance who otherwise would
have no chance. 1t does it. And it
doesn't make money. 1t helps make
homes and men and women. Il is very
successful The only dividends 1t pays
its promoters and managers are paid
in the current coin Of happiness and
duty fulfilled. It is one of the biggest
things in iowa, not in size or capacity
but in accomplishment of purpose.
Think of this: That institution has
been IN existence sixteen years, 1t has
taken orphaned and neglected children
only. There have been 1900 children
in its charge. Outside OF infants It
has never known a death among the
nearly 1000 children it has fathered
and nothered until it found real
homes for them.
The institution needs and deserves
aid It asks good women to add a few
cans 20 the number OF fruit packages
when they are canning the family sup
ply and send it 10 the Orphans Home.
That's one of the preventives of dis
easeplenty of fruit. and the manage
nent attributes much OF its success in
caring for the health OF its children to
q plentiful use OF canned fruit in win
ter time Why not do it? Specialists
are kind TO the home-they donate
their services beyond any other class.
but funds are needed for surgical work
and special treatment Why not help
little?
More than that-if your home is
childless. Why not consider one OF those
homeless children? # you long for the
touch OF baby fingers and foresee
loyeless and lonely old age why not
look over the children who are seeking
homes and love? Perhaps, had you
been sick and unfortunate and the VIC
tim OF any OF hundred circum stances
that break up families those might
have been your own left to the mercies
of others. They are nice children.
They will grow into good men and
women with proper training. There
are chances to take but those chances
a-e born to all parents with their
children. Down at the home are these
children:
Four girls II years old. one girl !
years, one girl years. TWO boys Is
years, one boy u years. one boy u
years, two boys 10 years, one bog 9
years, one boy s years, four boys Z
years, two boys s years, TWO boys !
years.
There are eight boy babies ranging
in age from to II months; also three
girl babies from TO months.
Don't you think a home hungry for
a. child should be able to find new
inmate by choice among so many!
