NO SECRET MEETING.-


your paper seems to remain aloof
from the general excitement and hys-
terra that is being fomented by the
police through the capitalist press, l
take this opportunity of making the
following statement to the readers of
your publication, to the workers who
realize that they are being duped
continually by the capitalist press.
In several papers the statement
was made that a secret meeting of
anarchists was held at the Workers
institute to arrange for a protest
meeting at the West Side auditorium.
This is ale. The Workers insti-
tute does not entertain secret meet
ings. That is against the principles
of the institution.
What actually happened was that
a few individuals gathered informally
and openly in our public reception
room-in the presence of many peo-
pie, who came and went-and dis
cussed plans for a public protest
meeting. Anybody else might do the
same. Strangers listened to this dis
cussion. A Tribune reporter was
present. (This seems to be the
source of the information.)

tuition that not only advocates free
speech, but practices it as well This

LAW.-There are thousands and
thousands of laws on the statute
books, and it takes an army of law
yers and judges to interpret them,
and each does so according to his
own ideas of them; and, as a neces-
sary consequence, these interpreta-
tons conflict with one another.
These same lawyers and judges do
not know 10 per cent of the laws,
and, according to the word of the
law, Ignorance of the law excuses
no one" The public is supposed to
know them all or 80 per cent more
than the students and practitioners of
law.
The law is the real cause of the
majority of crimes. The more laws
we have the more criminals we have
and the more it costs the citizens for
endorsements of the law. We can cas-
lily see the partiality of the law by

DR.. Cusack was really the pioneer
physician of the county and was a
man of rare attainments. Born In Ire
land in 1920, receiving his education in
Belfast, he was educated for a min
lister and understood the Latin and He
brew languages and was proficient In
Greek. Coming to Iowa DR.. Cusack
first took up his residence in Oskaloosa
In 1852, locating in Eldora in 1856. DR..
Cusack subsequently was elected coun-
ty treasurer and county Judge and was
very generous man to the needy poor.
The house he built in an early day
which was used as an office and resi-
dence was located on the west side OF
the square in this city about middle
way north and south. The site is to be
marked by suitable monument to es-
tablish for future generations the To-
cation Of the first physician of note to
take up life in this then lonely hamlet
and to minister to the afflicted OF
earth. DR.. Cusack was man whose
fame has reached from that early date
to the present largely because his life
was in a large measure one of service
and not Of little sacrifice. One of the
members Of the D. A. r. society which
has to do with the marking of the
early points of interest in Hardin coun-
ty said recently that in-'her opinion
there Should be a certain day given up
to this work and program suitable t.
the occasion rendered. 1t is related or
the lives of DR.. Cusack. of this city,
and Dr.. Morton. of Iowa Falls, that
they did work more worthy of future
commendst ton than many men who
were. paid literally for efforts not
nearly SO hazardous. Both men. pio-
neers of their profession and schooled
far ahead of their time, frequently Of
fered their lives on the bleak Iowa
prairies in an early day that they
might be the means Of saving human
lives.
It is the thought now of the D. A. r.
society to erect permanent monu-
ment near the graves of these two men
who so unselfishly wrought among the
people Of the early days of the county.
