dsy is expected to have a good effect
upon tbe international relations between

by he Mikad1's empire, within the last

officers and statesmen have, in fact,

as particularly appropriate, at this time.

secretary TO the subject of war between

Keokuk, H., Oct. Lavish deco
ratious OF flags and bunting greeted
President Roosevelt when be arrived in
Keokuk this morning. The population
of the city was multiplied by throngs Of
sight-seers from nearby sections OF
three states, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
The Presidents line Of progress from
the station to the stand in Rand Park
was packed with people and at several
points school children we're MISSED,
singing national airs. A reception COM
mittee, headed by Governor Cummins,
the mayor OF the city and other digui-
.sries met the President at the train. A
detachment of the Iowa National Guard
was on hand to escort the President TO
Rand Park, and he was met there by

who are to accompany him on his trip
down the Mississippi river.
The Presidents steamer will make no
stops between Keokuk and St. Louie.
He is expected to arrive in st. Louis
tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.
Many Of the governors ard other public
men will go to st. Louis by special
train. The Presidents train was half

it arrived here al 9:05, only five minu-
ties behiod the schedule. The President
surprised the people of Lima, O, BY
making speech rhere during the time
his train was stopped.

stirring address 10 Rand Park. Steamers
of all descriptions accompani'd the
Presidents boat down the father OF

The President, in his address, warned
the people against inviting the fate of
Rome, by drawing the lines of battle be-
tween the class,s and the masses so dis.
timely that those who have gained their
wealth by honest means are confused
with those who have become rich by dis
honest means. He reiterated bis decla-
ration that be will stand by the honest

Alleged Cause Of Rising Prices.

Chicago, Oct, The Inquiry into
causes for the riss 10 the price Of meats
has elected many explanations from
stock yard experts, but the most unique
of them all WAS laid before United States
Attorney Sims today when an attorney
for one OF the biggest concerns declared
The increased cost is due to the increase
of government inspectors and other
"useess labor" His opinion is: 1.-THE
meat industry has been loaded down
with 80 many inspectors, examiners,
commissioners and other parasitic func-
tionaries that in order to meet the tax
land on meats, the packers are forced to
charge more. Every additional measure
for The protection of the public 10 the
provision of petty officials, whose salaries
must be paid out OF the sale Of meats,
adds to the consumers burden. The
packer can protect himself by raising
the prices, and be is left no choice but to
add the increased expense to his prices"

10 BISHOP PoTTER's assertion that
universal peace is "only poets dream, p"
several answers are promised from New
Y TX pulpits next Sunday. Certain
clergyman of many denominations are
expressing surprise that one OF their
clolh and man of peace should declare
w1r inevitable. They will attack the
Ii-hop's theory as fallacy, deny that
fighting is anything but an unmixed
evil ard urge that an international arbi-
tra,ion court could readily end it for
ever. Bishop Potter is undoubtedly
correct in his assertions. Poets and
others have been dreaming of universal
peace for the past three thousand years,
while wars and rumcis of war are still
in The air.

Mr. RARR OFT.

Despite the efforts made to induce
him to remain at the head OF the
jamestown Exposition, Mr.. james NJ.
Barr insists that his resignation be
accepted In answer to the Board of
Directors, he says the action is final
with him.
The letter was received yesterday after
consultation with Judge Taylor s.
Garrett and Admiral Harrington, OF the
United Ststes navy.
Mr.. Bars letter is as follows:
ITO the board of directors, jamestown
Exposition Company:
"Gentlemen,-I have received YOUR
request, adopted at your meeting held on
the Oath instant with, l am Informed,

ciate this expression of confidence in me,

listing, aud therefore beg to ask that be
relieved at once.
"In accepting the director general

consequence, faced disaster. was nat
urally bound to serve in this capacity
until it had been conducted to con
clusiop, ifihe conditions imposed by me,
accepted by you and incorporated in
your bylaws, we're recognized and en-
forced.
"This, for reasons satisfactory 10 you,
hes not been done, aud being, in conse-
quence, powerless TO do the things for
the exposition which its reputation
and success, 10 my opinion, demanded,
requested to be relieved of the duties
of director general as soon ss the expo
sitionwss completed in through man.
per as a creditable exposition, believing
my full obligation thereto had been per-
formed under the circumstances existing.
GAS the exposition has been COM
pleted, it can now be easily conducted to
conclusion if discord be eliminated
from its management, and if can be OF
any further benefit, in an unofficial ca
pacity, l would be glad to have you call
upon me.
Il beg to express, through you, my
thorough appreciation of and thanks for
the urgent requests made upon you by
the members OF the State Commission
ers' Association, the business men of
Norfolk aud the concessonaries, that |

CLANS ON JUDGE PARKER.

At the recent meeting of the bar assc-
citation at Portland, Me-, Judge Alton
B Parke' was talking on the way to the
clambake to lawyer who hailed from
Alexandra.
"Wbst will be the effect" inquired
judge Parker, in G humorous way. 'ff
they pass law in the south eliminating
titles from your average prominent citi-
zans? have heard that such possibility
is contemplated 10 some of the southern
States"
"Such a thing would be a calamity"
replied the Alexsndrisn. 81 know that
people in the north have had good deal
of fun with our part of the country for
its liberality in comforting titles.
"But the custom has its advantage.
Not all public men have the remarkable
faculty possessed by the late James G.
Blaine OF being able to recall quickly the
"a ne of every one whom he bad previous
ly met, maybe only once.
"But in the south the politician, anx-
iOus to leave the impression that be has
not forgotten, has only to say when he
suddenly meets a constituent, 'How are
you, Colonel?' That breaks the ice and
the constituent CLOVIS all over"
"But if the constituent should be q
general or q judge?' said Judge Parker.
"That would make no difference" in
terposed the Alexandrisn. "rhe con-
stituent would at once reflect that he
had been a colonel before he became a
general, and as there were so many pro-
motions in the South, he would be char
liable to the politician By thinking that
the latter could not have possibly re-
membered all. Besides, it is always safe
to address a southern man as colonel"
"Suppose," said Judge Parker, in his
characteristic way, "the constituent had
been only on the benCh?'
"Io that case" replied the Alexsn-
drian in gracious Virginia way, "it
would be the duty of the constituent to
correct the error. That is one OF the
prerogatiyes of 8 judge"
Suppose" continued Judge Parker,
trying 10 corner his brother, 'that the
constituent had retired from the bench?"
ave never retire n judge" was the
quick response of the VIrginisn, mot
even to make him a presidential candi-
date"
Fortunately for Judge Parker the
steamer at that moment touched the
clambake reservation, and the late dem
ocratic presidential candidate, who had
retired himself to lead a fOrlOrn hope,
said the clans were on him. Exchange.
Although no name is mentioned it
is easy to guess that the Alexandrian re-
ferred to is Mr.. James r. Cation.
