rank of the transportation systems oil
the country in point of enterprise, pop
ularity and prosperity. AS it's attorney
Mr.. Davis will be entrusted with the
care of large and important interests
He succeeds to the position occupied
with signal ability and honor by the
late Judge n. M. Hubbard, whose sue
cess at the bar and influence in Iowa
affairs are matter of state history an
state pride. 1t is no mean compliment
to be chosen as the successor of sucf
wan in a place of so great RESPONSE
bility and opportunity for usefulness.
Great railway corporations selee
their officials for positions of honor and
trust with the utmost care and full
knowledge of all the facts and circum-
stances relative to the man and his
fitness for the place. This is especially
true in making choice of important
legal representatives. Their aim is to
secure the best available talent. and
it is not recorded anywhere that they
are given to the commission of mis-
takes in matter so directly and deeply
affecting their material interests. Those

that there was no error of judgment in
volved in his selection. In a word, 1t
may be said that he is eminentiy
worthy and thoroughly qualified for the
important position to which he has been
called. He has long ranked as the lead
ing attorney in this city and has repu-
tation for ability and success that is
more than state wide. Here at his
home. where he is best known, there Is
both great admiration and respect for
him as lawyer and great liking Tor
him as a man. His record at the bar is
a brilliant and honorable one and he
represents in his personality the ele-
rnents and interests of which this COM
munity is justly proud.
Mr.. Davis was born and reared In
Keokuk, educated in part in its schools
and has lived here all his life. Proba-
bly, no man in the city is more gener-
ally or more intimately Identified with
1t. In addition to his legal connections,
Mr. Davis is a stakeholder and director
in numerous commercial and financial
institutions and has large real estate
interests. His part in the social life OF
the community is also a large one. and
IT is not an assumption to say that 1t
will be like tearing his heartstrings out
for him to leave Keokuk-just as 1T will
be like tearing the heartstrings out OF
keokuk to have him go. While the
people of this city are pleased to see
him honored as he deserves their pleas
IRE is tempered by the regret that all
feel in losing him. Acceptance of the
appointment involves removal OF him

the valuable acquisition soon to be

IRRIGATION STEPS UNDER NEW LAW. I,

The annual report of Secretary
Hitchcock. of the interior department,
given to the press today, comprises in
teresting statistics and statements in
regard to public lands, pensions, pa
tents, Indian affairs, education, rail-
roads, geological survey, national parks,
the census, eleemosynary institutions,
etc. AS this report forms book of
be taken up in a single article.
OF chief interest TO the west is his
showing of what has been accomplished
thus far under the new irrigation law
1t will be remembered that the last ses-
sion of congress passed an act provid-
ing for the construction of reservoirs
purposes in the semi-arid regions of the
great west. the district including thir
teen states and three territories. Under
this act the proceeds of lthe sales of
public lands III the section benefited
were to be devoted to this purpose, and
thereafter sales of forty-acre tracts
years time, and they were to have wa
ter for irrigation at cost. This law was
to be carried into practical operation
under the direction of the interior de-
partment.
Secretary Hitchcock indicates that
the preliminary work is well under
way, tho it has been necessary to exer-
else great caution in every step taken,
owing to the magnitude of the under
taking. There is already in the United
States treasury a fund of $S,00O,000
available for use. A great deal of data
also on hand thru previous efforts of
the geological survey concerning the
amount Of water available, the location
of reservoir sites, and the altitude and
area Of catclment basins, have proved
invaluable in the beginning of the work
Of reclamation.
Referring to initial efforts. the seere-
tary says: "The thirteen states and
three territories within which reclama-
tion work can be carried on embrace,
with the exception of Texas, the largest
political divisions of the United States
While 1t is not possible for any one man
to know the topography and hydrog-
raphy of all these sixteen states and
territories yet in general way the OPP

TARIFF AND ANTITRUST TALK.

Congressman Babcock, of Wisconsin,
who declined to enter the speakership
contest and threw his strength and in
fuence in favor of Cannon, returned to
Washington a few days ago. After
again denying that he had made bar
places or had assumed to speak for the
president on the subject of an extra
session, he said:
q am decidedly in favor of an extra
session. The work of revising the tar
iff should be taken up without delay, in
my opinion, and the only time to handle
that question is at an extra session of
congress-
Commenting on this statement, the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
"Mr Babcock is one of the leaders of
the tariff reform movement in the re-
publican party, and his declaration in
favor of an extra session is interesting
as showing their determination to resist
any efforts to sidetrack or unduly post
pone taking up the subject. The weight
of opinion among the republican lead
ers, however, seems to be opposed to
haste and to taking the matter up in
advance of the first regular session of
the fifty-eighth congress. There seems
to be more probability that If an extra
session is called it viii be to consider
anti trust legislation. This Is rapidly
coming to the front as one of the mat
ters that will be pressed. Senator Gull.
lonl. of Illinois, who is now in Wash
ington, preparing an antitrust bill, is
to press it from the opening of the COM
ing session, and he says he can see no
good reason why a bill should not pass
the senate before the Christmas holi-
days and be acted on by the house be-
fore the end of the session. He will
probably find, however, that the subject
will give rise to so much debate that,
with the many other important matters
pressing for consideration, it will be
Impossible to get action in the senate at
the coming session. His bill will be
along the lines of the plan of trust con-
troll suggested by Attorney General
Knox in His Pittsburg speech, and will
be In the shape of amendments to the
existing Sherman antitrust law. His
proposed amendments will have for
their object the making of the criminal
features of the Sherman law more dras-
tic, increasing the scope of the civil
suits which can be Instituted under it,
and making 1t more easy for persons
whose business as been affected by un-
lawful combinations to secure dam
ages
1t is plain from the above statement
that Congressman Babcock viii. make
strong effort to enlist the interest of
members IN tariff revision, even If it
results in nothing more than arousing
the house to action when the fifty
eighth congress assemblies. AS a man
of influence and good standing among
republicans, his movement must have
some such effect.

GIFT TO PARSONS COLLEGE.
Fairfield LEDGER

Public announcement is made of the
gift of $4,000 to the Parsons College
building fund by Thos. d. Foster, the
we'll known ottunlwa buiness man. The
only condition attached to this gener-
Gus contribution is that a like amount
shall be raised in, the state outside of
Fairfield Mr. Foster has been staunch
friend of this institution in the past,
and this new proof of his generosity
and liberality is the best possible indi-
cation of future fealty. 1t is proba-
BILE that his gifts to the college in times
past have aggregated fully $4,000. And,
better than that, Mr.. Fosters friend
ship does not end with his cash dona-
tons. His interest in the college never
ceases and he loses no opportunity to
serve it. His gifts to public purposes
in his home city and in Fairfield mark
him as one of the most liberal and
philanthropic of IoWa'S citizens.

$4,000 FOR GOOD ROADS.
Jefferson Rec.

The United States government is
spending $4,000 year for the main
tenance of the five rural mail routes
out of Jefferson, or investing approx
mately IS per annum upon each one
of the 400 families who are served with
mail daily. The government regards
this expenditure as an indirect appro-
priation for good roads. A direct invest
ment of this large amount on the roads
would doubtless produce some very
happy results, but it would not furnish
the farmers their daily mail. The gov
eminent goes on the theory, therefore,
that If it spends this IS annually in a
special service for every country fam
ily the farmers so served will give back
an equivalent amount in a special effort
to keep the roads good, and thus two
great objects will have been accom-
plished In place of one. Three thousand
dollars a year for good roads will do
wonders, and we imagine that the far
mers will see to 1t that they are keeping
up their end of this implied contract
with Uncle Sam.

NEW c. & N. w. ATTORNEY.
[Keokuk Gate City.

Keokuk people will learn with feel
ings of mingled pride and regret that
James C. Davis has been appointed at
torney for Iowa for the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, with headquar-
tiers in Des Moines. 1t PAS been a mat
ter of common knowledge for ten days
or two weeks among the gentleman $
friends here and elsewhere that the
uosit;on had been offered him and that
he had the matter under consideration.
Mr.. Davis is out of the city, but the
following dispatch from Cedar Rapids
seems to warrant the statement that
he has concluded to accept:
"Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nov. 20.-The
firm of Hubbard, Dawley & Wheeler,

railway. announce that they have been
notified by General Counsel Bowers that
r G Davis. of Keokuk, has been APP

that he will commence his new duties
there on Jan. J.. The present attor-
navs will continue their relations with
The road until April l in order to wind
m some legal business which they now
have in hand"

been called is one of great honor, influ-
ence and responsibility. The Chicago

HIDE-BoUND DEMOCRACY.
IIat IA ratnn Il anardpr


Democracy the genuine kind, is as
deep-seated as any disease that we
have any knowledge of, and while some
of those afflicted with it may die, they
rarely recover. Over in Wright county
the republicans were confident that
Judge Birdsall would run three to five
hundred ahead of his ticket on account
of his personal popularity among the
democrats And we will wager box of
cigars that at least 200 democrats told
the judge, or some of his friends that
they were going to vote for Ben, any
way" But the lection returns show
that the judge got only about eighty
votes more in the county than the head
of the ticket, Martin, for secretary of
state. Eighteen of these votes were in
his own town of Clarion, and in no
other precinct did he run over thirteen
ahead. 1t is the republicans who
scra CHI their tickets, not the demo-
Gratis.
