The Outlook regards this outrage on
children as one of she greatest perils in the
life of the country today. We are permit-
ting the valgarization of our obildren on a
great scale. We are allowing their eyes to
become accustomed to the oheapest and
3 | orndest use of color and form, and we are
saturating their minde with volgar images.
We are teaching them lawlessness; we are
cultivating the ofl reverence in them;
we are doing everything we cau, by cheap-
ening life, to destroy the American homes
of the future. Asa time when the inter:
este of obildzen are attracting more and
more attention, when State and National
measures are being taken to protect them
from overwork, is is high time that .
ized effort fiould be made to protect
from contamination, from base ideals of
life, from mean of home and
parents. Here is work in which every
woman's club in the country ought to take
a band; for women, even more than men,
are the guardians of the purisy of children.
In their hand rests the great trust of keep:
ing the American: home clean and whole-
some. Certain things man and
woman can do at once: The door can be
bolted againes the intrusion of the comio
supplemens. No copy of these supple-
ments ought to lie oo the table in »
decent American home. Every man
snd woman can register an individual id
test in the office of the newspaper which
sends this supplement to the house. Ev
man and woman can call attention to thi
National inundation of vulgarity. If the
public conesience can be aroused, effective
methods of dealing with this evil will be
they | found on all sides.—In The Outlook.

CHAPTER VI,
““The best laid plans of mice and men alt
gang aglee.”” As the closing of our last
letter we intended leaviog Howard for
short calls on other portions of the county
and State, but ciroumstances have arisen
thas make it necessary to chaoge plans
somewhat, so while we tarry a week or two
longer we want to digress bere, just slighs-
ly.
The word ‘‘knook’’ is a title applied to
persons who foreome fancied or real per-
sonal grievance, bas become ‘‘soured’ or
disgruntled as some person, place or thing
and who, though having eyes, desire to see
nos, exoept through their own unsatisfac-
tory bifooles. The Des Moines City Kail-
way owns a quarter blook on the North-
west corner of Fifth and Mulberry streets,
Is is one of the most valuable locations in
the city. A building was erected some
four years ago especially for the company’s
use. A two story structure of brick, with
a frontage of 132 feet on each of the two
streets—264 fees. A drug, jewelry and oi-
gar store and restaurant occupy B58 feet,
leaving 66x110 feet used almost eosirely
for a waiting room, being well seated,
lighted and made comfortable by its own
heating plant. It is kept clean, so that
even our Governor, hoth U. 8. Senators and
their ladies avail themselves of its hospital-
ity. The upper story is used by the com-
pany for local aud general offices. If there
is any ‘“‘rbamsbackle’’ about it it muss be
the steel awning surrounding its outside,
covering the sidewalk and permitted by
special act of the oity council for the com-
fort and convenience of the public; it is
treated $0 a coat of fresh pains each yearly
housecleaning time, looks well io our peo-
ple whom we presume wear home pride
glasses ; and the entire structure we think,
would not he an objectionable feature to a
Bellefonte Diamond frontage. Ii is, bow-
ever, overshadowed by a recently comples-
ed eleven story store and office bailding,just
across the alley north ; fire-prool, wodern
aod up to date in every respect.
The Polk county court house just com.
pleted, covers almost an entire equare,
built of massive Bedford stone, fire-proof
throughout, four stories high with base-
ment and surmounted with a sensible
dome. Its extreme height is 179 feet from
the sidewalk, its outside dimensions 150x
250 fees. It provides six court rooms, all
of the offices of the county, a grand jury
room, a pettis jury room for each court,
private offices for the judges and county of-
ficers, an abundance of fireproof vauls space
built from the basement up, well furnish-
ed sleeping apartments for contrary jurors,
heated throughout by a separately buils
heating plant, the latter ‘‘out of sighs,”
both to the eye and to the idea, of some-
thing complete. Two elevators raise and
lower she weary, while others can travel
the two 20-feet wide stairways, or the oth-
er two wide, winding stairs at the main en.
trance. The inside finish ie marble. It is
equipped throughout with steel desk farni-
ture ; in fact in all its appointments it is
up-to-date, substantial and complete, and the
best that business ability, common sense
and $800,000 cash could buy. We are
proud of it,andloballenge any county in the
State to near approach it, or any county in
the U. 8. of equal populasion and financial
ability, to overshadow.
The floors throughout are Mosaio ile.
The supporting columns on the ground floor
are of the best Vermont marble, and those
on the three upper are Scagliola.
The winding stairways on either side of
the fronts entrance are artistio and simply
beautiful ; rivers and treadways of double
marble, the newels and winding balus-
trades are massive, solid martile. The
cours rooms are of sufficient floor space and
bave 27 feet ceilings. The seating is iv
oironlar form with stationary opera obairs,
the cironlar balustrade with settee attach-
ed inside, separating the court officials, at-
torneys, eto. Tables, circular swinging
leather upholstered chairs, reporters’ desk,
the raised desk or bench of the judge, the
enclosed jury box with twelve ohairs, are
all of modern make, and mahogany mate-
rial. We are ashamed of nothing in con-
nection with the entire structure.
We mail with this article a photograph
of this building to the editor of the
WATCHMAN and invite any for whom it
may be convenient to call at his office and
fuspect a very fair and not overdrawn pio-
tare of “‘the squatty thing called the cours
house’ and il there may be any who “won-
der what they took for a pattern,” write
us, for we have the information to farnish.
We are pleased to know that Bellefonte’s
court hoase is good and we would not for a
moment attemps to cast reflections on a
single building belonging to our native
home connty of forty years ago, and we
bave nanghs but good words for the land
of our adoption.
As our hotels seem to have been placed

that any city of our class will have to go

by the success and personal worth of our
wandering offepring.
We have three railroad depots. The
Chicago and Northwestern covers in length
a block of city ground, 284 fees, built of
red pressed brick, two stories high, cover-
ed with slate roof. The raised space from
the building to the track is paved with vit.
rified brick the entire length of the block
and covered with an artistically arranged
shed, also slate roofed.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
covers in length two squares of ground,
roofed the entire distance with a steel arch
soross the intervening street. It is built of
red pressed brick, two stories, and tile
roofed, and the approach to the tracks the
entire length is paved with briok.
The Union Station provides terminal
privileges to all ol the other lines entering
the oity. The building covers in length a
square of ground. It is constructed of
gray mottled pressed brick, two stories
high, with steel frame train sheds which
afford protection in rain or storm, in going
to and from the trains to she waiting
rooms.
The three depots are all practically new,
modern and up-to-date, complete in all re-
quirements fcr the comfort and accommo:
dation of the traveling publio.
The writer has made four tripe to the
Pacific coast, over all the lines, including
the Canadian Pacific from Vancouver to
Winnipeg, and can say, thas for its require.
ments, Des Moines is behind none others
seen, in depot facilities for the traveling
pablie.
The baggage transfer business wo far an
pertains to the railroads amounts to listle
as the two larger stations are but a half
block apart and she other a half mile away.
Baggage to and from hotels, theaters and
private houses, make up the business of
the Jesse Wells Co.
The Twenty-fourth General Assembly
appropriated $150,000.00 for the erection
of a monument to the memory of Iowa sol-
diers. The writer was present as an officer
of the Iowa Grand Lodge of Masons at she
laying of the corner stone.
The program was directed by State offi-
ocials,the principal addresses made by Hon.
D. B. Henderson, Speaker of the U. 8,
House of Representatives and ex-United
States Senator James Harlan and the
“women of Iowa” had nothing whatever
to do with it. The grounds on which is
stands is juss morose: Walnut street, from
the capitol grounds, while jnst across Tenth
street stande one of the largest and most
influential churches of the city. The
ground on which this work of art stande
was the site of the first capitol huildiog
and was donated by Alex Scott, a one time
prominent citizen of this cisy. It is sepa-
rated from the present capitol! grounds by
‘Walnut strees, one of the most prominent
paved thoroughfares. We would not know
where to look for ‘‘commons’ in that lo-
cality.
The Y. M. C. A. rents a large building
from F. M. Hubbell, which they now oo-
cupy and have no “‘fine large brick build-

The Iowa law legalizing the liguor traffic
is generally considered by the people who
are opposed to the saloon, to be about ae
good legislation as can ba made for ite regu-
lation.
Is is objectionable to a certain class for
the reason that on all election days, some
dozen or more holidays and Sandays, the
doors must be kept locked avd not even a
Janitor is permitted to enter. No back
dours or soreens as the windows, no cbairs
nor tables nor lunches inside are permit-
ted. At 10 p. m., promptly the doors must
close until 5 next morning.
All employees must be registered in the
county recorders office. For violations,
heavy fiues ate imposed, which not only
attach to the proprietor, but on the real
estate, regardless as to the owner. A fax
of $300 to the county ; and another of
$300 to the city, and a license of $600,
to the city, a total of $12000 must be paid
annually, by the proprietor of each saloon,
before he can launch his business. No
sales are permitted to drunkards, women
or minors and the two latter are not per-
mitsed to enter suoh places. The law is
well enforced in Des Moines and where
violations bave occurred, pevalties were
enforced and in some instances the business
olosed up.
The popular designation of this statute
is “The Mulct Law.”
Webster defines the word Mulct, as
“‘pecuniary punishment or penalty.”
The same authority defines the word
to preserve moisture.
The use of these two words, as applied
to the Iowa law, are in use among two
