The old time birthstone preacher.

human creature was loaded down with
sin. Beneath his towering steeple. in

cur days were numbered we'd have
some grief. indeed The hymns that
we were singing Were Of the same
grim style, such lines as this ons

lovely girls were ditto, their beauty wa.

A DREAM THAT WAS NOT A DREAM.

countryside wealthy as is central Iowa.
If the city and county Of Marshalltown
had been obliged to pay for the treat
ment of that 10 per cent of $50 sur
gical and medical cases that received
free treatment at the hospital it would
have cost the city and county much
more than this city and county has
contributed to the erection of the hos
pital building.
Not only Marshall county but the
contiguous counties and all central and
northern Iowa are beneficiaries of the
dream Rest dreamed that came true.
The hospital books of this year up to
Nov. / show 73 patients from Glad
brook, ~ from Tama, IS from Mel
bourne, SO from Eldora, 20 from Laurel,
10 from Baxter, 16 from Conrad, IL
from Wellsburg, s from Liscomb, 7
from Great Mountain, etc, ETC., thru a
list Of towns and communities spread
over central and northern Iowa.
The hospital stands on the corner. 1t
is built of steel and stone and brick. 1t
must continue to stand there. 1t can
not be moved. 1t is a public institu-
ton. When ii brings it's benefaction
it brings also its responsibility to the
public it serves. 1t is a responsible
ity that rests upon this section of Iowa.
Pride that avoids responsibility. graft
tude that refuses to render service for
service is neither pride nor gratitude.
When the people of this section pass
the Deaconess' Home and Hospital,
when they read of it as a refuge for
the sore afflicted spot where healing
hovers and all that human skill and
kindness can do is done for those who
need help and kindness and skill des-
perately. when they think Of it as
citadel where science holds the trenches
against death and disease there must
come with the thought that other
thought that such service demands re-
turn.

there will be = more or less permanent
cleaning out. Three detectives worked
on the cases and they presented be-
fore the grand jury some 400 exhibits
to prove the charges which they filed.
The grand jury Is not vet thru with its
investigations and many more indict-
ments are looked for In the first Of
the cases to come to trial the judge
sentenced the man to eleven months
in the county Jail, which it is believed,
will act as . deterrent IF we are going
TO have prohibition we might as we'll
enforce it. We can not afford to dilly
daily with this or any other law. We
have disrespect for law enough al
ready"
The Republican and other newspa-
pers in Marshalltown, Dec Moines, Wa
terloo and other places seem pregnant
with the idea that liquor violations are
so frequent and numerous in other
towns and that their towns are free
from the idea Of such thing. If these
newspapers would put some backbone
into the officials of their own towns,
like has been witnessed in Dubuque and
Fort Dodge and ike is now being wit
messed at Keokuk they would find that
their towns are hotbeds of bootlegging.
that the law is being winked at, that
but very little effort is being made at
enforcement by punishment of often
ders, because such things give the
towns bad names

Rapids can testify as to one real hard
ship that prohibition places on a COM
munity. Since the saloons were driven
out the number of assertions has shown
a distinct increase. Investigation has
proved that the increase can be at
tributed to the craving for strung drink
of men who would sacrifice their wives
and children before they would permit
their appetite to go unappcased. They
prefer rotting themselves with whisky
to protecting those who are dependent
upon them.
