Just two solutions: determination and
marriage. We would probably have a
great difficulty on our hands If we at
tempted the former and the most of
us would rather die than attack the
second. Then again we lead in the I'M
equal distribution of wealth. Our very
poor class is no worse than that in
Europe; they came from there, if they
hadn't we wouldn't have it to contend
with but our rich class is very much
richer than that in Europe.
Nov to all this we are inclined to
sit back and say, oh let the church
take care of it. Well, the church, the
poor old church Is worked to death. OF
course It Is fine to have it to fall back
upon and it is doing all it can with the
chance which we give it. There have
been single tax Christian sociology,
social utopia, social democracy, Dow.
ism, free silver and all the others con.
cocted to answer this problem but
nothing on earth will do it but good,
clean, sound Christian education in the
public schools of this country"

street They have an iron base from
which bright red flag is flying. These
signs will serve as silent traffic police.
men and the autoists and drivers of
all vehicles are supposed to heed
their warnings.
The flags installed on Main street
have been placed from Second to
Seventh street. Signs may be install
led at busy corners on Main and Blon-
deau streets. The signs are placed in
the middle of the streets at the inter-
sections.
The flags mean that all drivers shall
keep to the right of the signs, and
that pedestrians shall not "jay-walk"
across the streets, that is cut corners.
AS much trouble Is experienced by
this Jay walking" habit as from any
thing else, the traffic policemen find.
The flag system has been tried in
other cities and has been quite sue.

as useful in Keokuk.

was handed down by Judge H. X Ev.
ans In the case of Grace Merchon VS..
Ezra and Sadie Barnes, wherein he
awarded the child to the foster par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes, who have
cared for it since short time after
it's birth.
When the decision was given the
court room was filed to the doors, an
exceptional interest having been man
Tested by scores of people since the
opening of the case. The court held
that there was little dispute about the
law in the case, as it's controlling fun
damental principles were harmonious.
While the mother, Mrs. Merchon,
had always manifested an interest and
affection for the child, yet she had al
lowed the little girl to remain In the
Barnes home for four years, where It
had become endeared to them, and
the court held that it should not now
be taken from them.
Near the close of the hearing the
mother tainted and had to be carried
from the court room and Mrs. Barnes
was almost hysterical and had to be
attended by two or three ladies.

ENGLISH POET AT
GRINNELL NOV. 10

Grinnell, Nov. 1S.-Alfred Noyes,
the celebrated English poet, comes to
Grinnell on the evening Of Friday.
Nov. 10, as the second number of the
college Y. M. c. A., lecture course.
The poet has paid several visits to
the United States in the course of the
last few years and has gained for him
self popularity in this country prob
ably exceeding that of any other living
poet. His success as an entertainer
on the lyceum platform lies in his
power to interpret his own poetry and
he knows how to recite his poetry so
as to give the precise impression nee
essary to transmit it's meaning to the
audience.
The occasion of the coming of Mr..
Noyes to Grinnell is regarded as one
of the greatest literary treats of the
year, and it is expected that he will
be enthusiastically received. 1t is
probable that the attraction will draw
an out of town audience of some size
as the management of the lecture
course has received many inquiries as
to the sale of tickets.

WOMEN TO BE ACTIVE.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 18.-That the
women of this city are planning to
take an active part in the city cam
paign next spring. when mayor and
four commissioners are to be elected.
is shown by the fact that the town is
being listed carefully as to the opin-
ion Of each woman on the suffrage
question While the women can vote
only on matters pertaining to taxation,
it is agreed among local politicians
that they can WELD powerful influ-
ence among the men voters in the
home. The women here have civic
league and a lively time is anticipated
if they get into the game. All mem
bers of the present city commission
will be candidates for reelection and
because Of the salary raise, due to the

PRISONER RELEASED
AND ARRESTED AGAIN

Fort Madison, Nov. 1S.-Herbert
Williams, convict, under five year
sentence for breaking and entering a
car, completed his sentence and STEP
ped from the prison door into the Gus
tody of parole officer from the Joliet,
ILL.,, prison, where he is to do the re-
mainder of long term.
Prior to his Incarceration in Iowa
Williams had been paroled from the
Illinois institution and it was re-
ported that his parole was to remain
in effect conditional upon his good
record at the Fort Madison prison,
but it was broken by an inadvertant
attempt at escape.
Williams was employed outside the
walls when he took notion to run
away. Two hours later he repented
his act and gave himself up. But
the story got to the Illinois peniten-
tiary.

WADE IS EASY ON
YOUNG EMBEzZlER
FEDERAL JUDGE lNFLlCTS LIGHT
SENTENCE ON PELLA RURAL
CARRIER.

Des Moines. Nov. 19-"There must
be something wrong with the brain as
well as with the morals of men in the
postoffice service who deliberately con-
vert or embezzle money which comes
into their hands. If they had an
ounce of judgment they would under
stand that it is impossible to escape
detection"
Federal Judge Martin j. Wade
emitted the foregoing before passing
sentence on Meindert Bloom, rural
mail carrier from Pella, charged with
converting moneys placed in his
hands by route patrons to his own
use.
Blooms case is the old story Of the
young man who has married and be-
come deeply involved in debt. In his
anxiety to pay his creditors. many
of whom were threatening suit, the
young man, so his attorney. G. G.
Gaass of Pella, said, lost his head
and took the money, on two different
occasions, paid creditors and then
made restitution to his patrons.
Twice, according to Blooms own
confession, he took money, $50 once
and $3.50 the second time, which
had been given him with which to
purchase money orders. He later
purchased the orders and mailed
them without having been detected
or suspected. In February, 1913, he
took $12 which had been entrusted to
him and in June he was arrested by
deputy United States marshal.
Bloem confessed everything as soon
as he had been arrested. He had
meant to pay back the $12 just as he
had repaid the other money, he said.
Bloom is about 30 years old. He
has been in the postoff1ce service
for twelve years. He has borne
gooa reputation in his town, accord
ing to petition sent to the court by
Pella business men and patrons OF
the prisoners route.
Il have been exercising great len
iency in imposing sentences in these
cases. Judge Wade continued. But
# postmasters and mail carriers and
other employees do not take warning l
will try something else. My patience
and good nature are just about ex-
III fine this man 5000 for each
count" he concluded. There are
.hree counts. He will be fined $500
n all and stand committed to the
Jail until all is paid. l won't
send him to prison. This case isn't
learly so serious as many. I will
spare him and his family the dis
grace and stigma Of a prison sen.
,ence."
The court sentenced Frank and
Bert McComber, brothers residing at
500 fine each and
sixty days in jail for bootlegging. The
men pleaded guilty. Steve Healy OF
Abba, charged with violation Of the
federal liquor laws, was sentenced
@ thirty days in Jail. He already
las served seventy-three days.
