No Time Of Doubt Nolu.


Real friends of American ideals are
somewhat at disadvantage in deal
ing with the local minister's attitude
on the war. The average man hest
tates to speak out at any time about
minister of the Gospel. Respect
for the cloth has always been a DOM
mating thought of good citizenship,
good breeding and correct religious
attitude. The pulpit, however, must
first be considerable of the rights of
others, especially rights of country,
before it can with sense Of justice
be absolved from criticism itself.
So far as Rev. Marion J. Bradshaw
is concerned, "The Palisadian" feels
that it was far too patient with him,
and far beyond the limit warranted by
the country's condition. What it
should have done last February, BE-
FORE war was declared, was to have
spoken of his questionable American
ism. At this time, however, it is i'm
possible to speak of that deliverance
except in general terms, for no notes
were taken of it. But it was, with
out doubt, the most uncompromisingly
malicious attack upon America the
writer had ever heard from any man,
and he marvelled at the time that so
little note was taken of it. To hear
talk to children, as this minister
made at that time, telling them that
America had fallen from it's high
estate, had lost the worlds respect
had lowered it's traditional ideals,
and that they should remember their
country for what it formerly repre-
sented rather than for what it stood
for today, was monstrous arraign-
ment, and most unwarranted, for Am
erica has not only attained the very
highest position among the nations of
the world, but is held up by all other
peoples of the world as the finest pat
tern of correct government that has
ever been evolved since the beginning
of history. The thought of telling
these things was little short
of scandal, libellous, and unpatri-
attic to the last degree.
The situation, so far as Palisade
is concerned, has not been enhanced by
Mr.. Bradshaw's latest reference to
the war and Americas part in it.
His sermon last Sunday, while intend
ed for show Of patriotism, was real
" nothing of the sort, because there
was nothing in it worth while as
relating to American ideals. The best
that could be said of it was that it
was straddle again-anotlper camou-
fage attempt to justify himself in

OF Interest to Women
BY Winona Evans Reeves.

Josephus Daniels, man much In
public notice as secretary OF the
navy, recently paid this tribute TO
his mother In a letter to a friend:
II owe every measure of success /
have achieved In life to my good old
fashioned mother. In my boyhood
days, after the desolation of the war
in the south, 1t was q great struggle
for widow to rear her three boys.
With no m oney, by her energy and
ability she earned enough to rear and
educate them. When, as youth In
my teens, l found the Wilson Ad-
vance for sale, my mother mortgaged
her little home in order to help me
get the money with which to pur-
chase the paper and enter upon the
ambition Of my life to be q journalist.
There are no greater pleasures In
my life than when my mother comes
to visit me in Washington, or when
I am able TO visit her In Goldsboro.
When | go to see her at Goldsboro.
am reminded of Harry W. Grady's
story of his visit to his mother in
Athens, which says, I don't think
! ever felt happier than when | reach
! ed the little home of my boyhood, I
got there at night. She had saved
supper for me, and she had remem-
| bered all the things I liked She
| toasted me some cheese over the
| fire. Why. had never tasted any
thing like it since I put off my round
jackets. And then she had some
homemade candy she knew l used to
love, and, bless her heart! I just
felt sixteen again as we sat and
talked, and she told me how she
prayed for me, and thought Of me
always, and what a brightness l had
been to her life, and how she heard
me coming home in every boy that
whistled along the street. When
went to bed she came and tucked
the corners all around me in the
dear old way that none but a moth
er's hands know, and I felt so happy

Second Blue Book Written
BY Winona Euans Reeves

To the women who helped to lay Ne
braska's foundation and who lived Ill
the glad morning of it's beginnings
this book is dedicated"
In her preface Mrs. Reeves pays
tribute to the women who are helping
In the advancement of literature and
arts and education and religion in the
state.
The book contains biographies OF
the most prominent Nebraskans. 1t
Is of interest to Iowa women because
OF the bond between the states, and
because of the fact that many OF the
Nebraska women are working for and
in the same national organizations as
are the Hawkeye women. For Keo-
kuk it has special interest in the fact
that several Of the women sketched IN
the volume have either lived here or
were educated in Keokuk. or visited
here.
The volume furnishes interesting
reading as we'll as historical and bio
graphical data, and the women of the
states. and women's work owes
debt of gratitude to Mrs. Reeves for
her histories.

Three pounds small yellow toma-

boil 1t until the scum ceases to rise.
Put in the tomatoes and boil them
slowly for twenty minutes. then take

when the syrup has thtckened, pour
it over them.

WARSAW, ILL.,, July 30.-Henry
Dross, one of Warsaw's best known
and highly esteemed business men,
passed away at his home Tuesday aft
ernoon at 8: 40 o'clock, aged II years, 3
months and days. For Ave years he
had been in failing health most OF the
time a helpless invalid. The Friday
previous he suffered complete nerv-
Gus breakdown from which he never
rallied. Henry Dross, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. frederick Dross, was born Octo-
Der 16, 1S43, in Wetzler. Prussia. and
came to America and direct to st.
Louis with his parents, May 2, 1S49.
In 1852 the family came to Warsaw,
and the remainder Of his life was
spent here. He entered the CONNER
cial business here in 1854 and re-
NAMED in active business until Ill
health interferred. when his son, Wal
ter H. Dross took control OF affairs.
Mr.. Dross was married May II. 1881
to Miss Eliza Brinkmann. He Is SUI
vived by his wife and three children:
Mrs. Roy Bartholomew of Keokuk;
Walter H. Dross and Miss Helen
Dross of Warsaw, who we're very de-
voted to and tenderly cared for the
husband and father through his years
Of invalidism. Three children, two
sons and a daughter, preceded Mr..
Dross in death. Mr.. Dross was the
last of seven children and leaves
neither sister nor brother. He was a
resident Of Warsaw for sixty-flve
years and was one Of the founders of
the German Evangelical church. and
was interested in Its work through
out his life. He was held in the high
est esteem by his fellow citizens and
was respected for his integrity and
scrupluous business methods. Fun
eral services were held at his late
residence at 80 p. m. July rs and at

Warsaw's Commercial club made
grand success of its first outing
Thursday afternoon July rs, which
was held at the fair grounds, where
baseball and other athletic games
were INDUCED in and cards we're pro-

such violent exercises. A substantial
supper was laid in the dining hall by
the efficient committee in charge, to
which sixtytwo hungry men did am
pie Justice. No business was tran
sacted. This first outing Of the club,
suggested by Rev. DR.. Long. lead.

club, has proven so successful that 1t
has been suggested that the club hold
its regular monthly meetings at the
fair grounds the last Thursday of
each month, as long as the weather is
suitable, and 1t is probable that the
suggestion will meet the approval OF
the majority OF the members and will
be acted on at the August meeting.
Everybody had good time and the
old boys were rejuvinated.
