FORCED TO
RAISE MONEY!
BAKERS DEPARTMENT. STORE
AT GRAND RIVER, IOWA.
In The Hands of The "Wholesale
Merchants Syndicate"
Entire Stock Of Merchandise Must
Be Turned Into Cash.

No doubt every reader of this
paper will be surprised to learn that
Bakers Department Store at Grand
River is forced to raise money in
ten DAYS from the balance of its
$4,000 Stock Consequently the
rest of their $4,000 stock of high
grade Clothing, Furnishings, Shoes,
Hats, Dry Goods, Dress Goods,
Groceries, etc, must be turned into
cash in ten days. The Big Forced
Sale begins Saturday, June 18th at
8 a, m. and continues for ten days
only
All former attempts at merchan-
dising by any other concern within
thirty miles of Grand River will be
eclipsed beyond all question.
A hustle and hustle throughout
the entire Arthur Bakers Depart
ment store in Grand River will wake
mortal man from his slumbers. 1t
will be wonderful gathering of
people
We are going to pour shot and
shell into the enemy's camp until
you will think they are once more
storming port Arthur. There will
be cannonading all along the line,
for with us it is cut loose and I'M
load every dollars worth OF good,
clean, seasonable merchandise in
ten days at some price to pay our
creditors. Our loss will be the
peoples gain and we expect them
for thirty miles around to lay in a
supply of Clothing, Furnishings,
Hats, Dry Goods, Shoes, for
men, young men and children,
Groceries, cts, for years to
come, and this is going to
be the harvest for all the people and
not. the favored few.
There never was such an under
taking in Southern Iowa, and we
do not believe there ever will be
again. One dollar here will do the
work of almost three elsewhere on
any article, and on Saturday, June
18th. at 8 a. m. when the doors
open, you will find such a gather
ing Of people as never. appeared on
the streets OF Grand River before.
The entire stock must be closed out
in ten days and this appeal made to
every one in Grand River, Decatur,
Ringgold and Clarke counties.
After This fine and up-to-date
stock is disposed of you, will be COM
PEELED to return to your old trading
places and pay the same old fancy
prices as of yOre.

There may be matters between the two countries

And we suppose that the MexicanS are not

Doubtless they are consulting Harvey's Weekly from

One Cause of Our LswIes.rss.

A few days ago we had occasion briefly to review
Mr.. Raymond B. Fosdicks American Police Sys-
TENS" in which in comparison with the police sys-
TENS of Europe and comparison of the volume o
crime in America and In other of the greater nations
we were shown to be sadly deficient chiefly in the
administration of laws. There were other causes
Of our bad showing but this seemed to be regarded
by Mr.. Fosdick the principal one He was dealing
with crime in the cities America rather than in
the country at large But crime is not confined to
the larger cities the larger and smaller cities
and towns it extends through the community
The Pacific Commercial Advertiser probably in
the way of throwing out hint to forthcoming egs-
latures against egsla tion shows that there is
another cause of crime. Quoting from Tacitus
"Corruptissima repubiea. plurirnae leges (the
corrupt the state. the the lawsD, the
Advertiser makes its point which will be readily
ognized by thoughtful people.
Lawlessness begets a multiplication of laws
which in turn promotes general disregard for all
laws creating vicious circle, the disastrous effects
of which are apparent all. One hundred thousand
persons pass through the prisons and jails of this
country every year. little less than one-tenth of
per cent of the entire population. In years
one million persons will have been in prison: in
thirty years three million all within less than
single generation.
There perhaps other country in the world
where many things are "verboten" its citizens and
there is other country whose citizens scruple
little to do the forbidden things
Reasonable restrictive laws necessary for
the conduct of large number Of the people, any
restriction, reasonable unreasonable which
enforced encourages the volators the violation
all other laws which may found to be embarrass-
ingly restrictive Mistakes may be made in the en-
actment Of restrictive legislation but no mistake
there can be half great the mistakes of execu-
tive and judicial officers in failing support them
and compel obedience to them. Neither individual
public opinion should be allowed to stand against
law If it is bad law its rigid enforcement will
bring about its repeal
When it is left to citizen to discuss in his
own mind whether law which he finds unpleasantly
restrictive is good just law, he is left the
open road to lawlessness. It makes difference
how good citizen he may be- he is debating with
himself whether he would not be justified in becom-
ing outlaw.

The Bond Election

is our belief that a mistake was made in the
bond election on Saturday. the rejection of those
propositions which failed. and suppose that if
there had been heavier vote they would have
carried
But at the same time there was a gratifying dis
crinsination shown by the the propo-
sitsons those which we must all regard the more
essential carried the extension the dstribS
uting system sewer extension and increased ia
ciIties for fre-fighting
The other proposed improvements except one
were Of character which the voters believed might
wait But that one improvement is that must
somehow be undertaken soon-the enlargement OF
room for carrying the citys business, and espe-
cisllt larger and human quarters for the city
prisoners.

70 that spot and the less likely would be soon to
have a modern municipal business plant, and the
longer would the plaza, once ornament of the
village remain in the business district
This objection first appealed to The Republican
but as to us It overcome by our knowledge Of
the pressing need of for the city business
and Of larger and better quarters for the prisoners
n thu latter need could been presented to the
voters we think it would have been met II the
ttlesIess than 1000 taxpayers who went to the polls

we do not believe that hundred votes would have
been. cast against this proposition. There are two
iron cages. probably 10 by feet. The prison
ers must be locked up these cages at night, for
IL left the corridor they could break their way
through the walls in minutes. They lie in those
cages packed like sardines. Nothing could be more

Something win have to be done and done quickly
to remedy the condition Of the prisoners. The plan

thorities should call at once upon public spirited
citizens and civic bodies to suggest another.

LUCKY HoRsEsHoEs

IL good luck in years gone to follow the
Indlng OF a horseshoe double luck ought to follow
the finding Of these days. For, though horses
have as many feet and wear as many shoes as
they formerly did, the horse is being off the
road by the auto And many less horseshoes are
lost
Why was the finding of horseshoe supposed to
bring good fortune, anyway? Well, it was matter,
OF growth and changing of custom. There was a
time when the thing to do to nail up a horse
shoe over the door a protection against witches
Finally witches went out of fashion Then the Gus
tom was twisted so it construed if one found a.
horseshoe and nailed it above his door, he'd have
good luck.

the fact that pretty good established a prece-

There was received over the counter

-S225 for the Hoover relief fund for
the starving children of Poland and
adjacent countries where the horror
OF peace prevails, something more ter
rible than war.
There was one rather touching Incl
dent. A man came in accompanied by
two little boys. He had not made up
his mind how much he ought to con-
tribute. He asked what would be a
proper donation. When he was told
that was a matter that rested entirely
with himself, he looked down at his
little boys and he looked for some
time, probably thinking of the plight
of those starving Esthonian boys.
Well" he said. "Tll give $40 for
each of these boys" and he made out n
check for $40. That will be enough to
keep two boys in that part of the
world from starving for a year"

An Oriental Switchboard
One of the most interesting features
of the San Francisco Chinatown is its
telephone exchange, located in build
ing with a brightly decorated <pagoda
roof and balconies and an interior
deliberately frescoed with Chinese de-
signs. The switchboard, which Is
carved and set in a shrine, is operated
by Chinese girls in richly colored silk
en- coats and trousers. who speak
equally we'll in both English and Chi
nese.
Chinatown had its beginnings in San
| Francisco in 1862 according to Cali
fornia authorities. when Chinese
coolies were encouraged to come to
this country to work on the construc-
ton of the Central Pacific railroad. II
was the same coolie class that laid the
foundation of all other Chinatowns IN
America. Later came the merchant
and leisure class. but never in such
/ great numbers.
The old Chinatown" explained a
