ORAL UNION.

George Evan Roberts, vice president
of the National City Bank OF New
York, who delivered the commence
ment address at the University OF
Iowa this week, has returned the
check given him in payment for his
services with the request that the
money be given to the Iowa Mem
mortal Union, for which campaign to
raise $1,000,000 is now under way
among the alumni and friends OF the
university.
Referring to the fact that the
university conferred the honorary
degree of doctor of laws upon him
at the commencement this year, MIR.
Roberts says he feels as if the return
of the check is not a real contribution,
irasmuch as the university has
honored him with this degree. but
that he hopes to make an out-of-
pocket gift before the campaign is
ended

Sick and crippled children in the
Children's Hospital of the University
of Iowa, where they are receiving
free medical treatment and hospital
care under the provisions of the

work and drawing. The children
doing this work are scholars in the

About twenty-five or thirty pupils,
many Of whom never before attended

LAWS TO BE BROUGHT INTO
COURT AND FINED.
H. N. SWIFT DRAWS SMALL FINE.
Young Man, After Paying Fine, Files
Information Against Two Alleged
Offenders of Rules.

H. M. Swift, a young farmer living
northwest Of Manchester, was arrest
ed Monday evening, and appeared be-
fore Mayor Fred H. Munson on Tues
day afternoon, to answer to the charge
of exceeding the speed limit. After
hearing the case the mayor assessed
fine of $1,000, and $5.25 costs against
the young man. The fine and the costs
were promptly paid, and in a few
minutes thereafter Mr.. Swift had filed
information against two alleged Of
tenders, who will be asked to appear
before the mayor on Thursday. Mr.
Swift stated that he did not mind pay
ing fine, but that he was going to
see that other notorious offenders III
Manchester and surrounding country
were going to be treated in the same
manner that he was. Mr.. Swift is by
no means the only one who has been
exceeding the speed limit in Manches-
ter, and we can assure him that there
are others who will muster up courage
sufficient to file informations against
offenders, now that the mayor is ready
to fine those found guilty Of violating
the speed ordinances.
The wreckless manner in which
automobiles are being driven on the
streets of Manchester, and the high
ways adjacent to the city, is criminal;
and it is nothing short of miraculous
that some terrible accident has not
taken place~in the past.
The speeders are by no means the
only ones who should be hailed before
the mayor Those who persist in run
ming their cars with glaring head
lights while meeting and passing an
other car, should be brought to time.
Many an accident has taken place
when the driver of a car has been
blinded by strong head lights.
There may be instances when the
driver of car might possibly be war
ranted in going faster than ten miles
in the city limits, but there is no ex-
cuse for having the muffler cut-out
open while driving on the streets OF
any town or city; neither is there any
excuse for the man who will delibef-
ately turn spot light in the direction
of an approaching car.
We hope that Mayor Munsop and
our officers will continue the good
work of making Manchester safe
place for pedestrians, and those who
| try to drive their cars with due con-
sideration for others. Traffic rules
are being observed in other cities, and
there is no reason why the same rules
should not be enforced here.
The city council has employed a
motor cop, who began his work here
on Tuesday. Tuesday evening he in
formed number of motor car drivers
to appear at the Mayors office this
morning, and answer to charges OF
speeding. Three or four Offenders
answered the call of the cop, and paid
| nominal fines. Let the good work go
! on

CESS OF ERECTION.

Contractor A. J. Bruce and force

on the structure the first of the week,

JAMES BISHOP IS
GRANTED RELEASE
DEATH COMES TO WELL KNOWN
MAN AFTER WEEKS OF ILL
NESS.
FUNERAL TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Elected County Clerk In 1905 and held
Office Until 1911. Member OF
Fraternal Orders.

James Bishop passed away at his
home on Howard street, Tuesday after
noon, June %, 1920, after an illness Of
many weeks, and which was marked
by intense suffering at times. Many
weeks ago Mr.. Bishop began to fail,
and went to Rochester to consult spec
ialists. He was told by specialists
at that time that there was little hope
of recovery. From that time on he
gradually grew weaker, until some
weeks ago he was obliged to take to
his bed. During these weary weeks
he was tenderly cared for by the de-
voted wife, and the daughter, who left
her home in the west SO as to min
lister to her father in his last days.
He awaited the end with patience, ney-
er once complaining of the suffering.
Funeral services will be held at the
Methodist church, Thursday afternoon,
Z at $3.50. Rev. S. r. Beatty will have
charge of the services. Members OF
the Masonic and Odd Fellows orders
will attend the funeral in body.
James Bishop was born in Sussex
England, December 18th, 184S. His
parents came to the United States
when he was six months of age, and
settled at Cleveland, Ohio. He was
educated in the public schools there
and in Baldwin University, at Berea,
Ohio. He came to Iowa with Calvin
Simmons and Jason Stimson in 1869.
During the winter months he taught
school and farmed during the summer
months.
He was united in marriage with Miss
brenda M. Phelps in 1870. Mrs. Bish-
op passed away in 1884. In 1886 he
was united in marriage with Lucie A.
Seaton. Mr.. Bishop lived on farm
in Milo township until 1902, when he
came to Manchester, where he has
since resided In 1905 he was elected
Clerk OF the district Court of Delaware
County, and served the county in that
capacity until 1911.
Mr.. Bishop is survived by the devoted
wife, and the following children: Os-
car L. Bishop of Butte, Montana; Bur-
ton G.. Bishop of Earlville; DR.. Edna
3. Northey ard Blanche Peterson OF
Huntington, Oregon; Cora Hockaday
of Manchester; Effie Carpenter OF
Earlville. One son, Clarence Bishop,
passed away in 1901.
The passing of Mr.. Bishop removes
from this community one Of its highly
respected and honored citizens. He
possessed those qualities OF heart and
mind that made him man whom ev-
cry one loved and respected. He was
a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church, of Manchester, and gave gen.
erously Of his time and means toward
the support of the organization. He
was lifelong republican, and always
took lively interest in the political
questions of the day. He was honest
and straightforward in all Of his deal
ings, and could always be relied upon
to stand for those things which are
pure and elevating. In his home he
was kind and devoted husband and
father, and now that his labors arc
finished, he leaves to those who
mourn. the heritage Of life well
spent.
The sympath of this community goes
out to the wife and children in their
great sorrow.

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN.

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN.
Editors Manchester Democrat
Herewith is the poem which some of
your readers requested to have printed.
It was written l believe by Mrs Booth
oNEY FRED SWEET
| wish that there were some wonderful
Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all Of our poor. selfish grief :.
Could be dropped, like a shabby old
coat at the door
And never put on again.
Like the hunter who finds lost trail.
And l wish that the one whom our
blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gate like an old friend
For the comrade he's gladdest to hail
We could a. find nc al all the things we intend
But forgot, and remembered-too
late,
Like praises unspoken. little promises
And all of the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might have
perfected
Inc DAY TOT one less fortunate
1t wouldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land of Beginning Again:
And the ones we miSjudged and the
ones whom we grudged
Their moments of victory here,
Would find in the grasp of our loving
handclasp
More than penitent lips could explain.
For what had been hardest we'd know
had been best,
And what had seemed loss would be
gain;
For there isn't sting that will not
take wing
When we've faced it and laughed it
away;
And l think that the laughter is most
what were after
In the Land of Beginning Again,
So I wish that there were some wonder
full place
Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all of our poor. selfish grief
Could be dropped, like shabby old
coat at the door,
And never put on again
