Keokuk people who attended the

of Muscatine The following dispatch
from Muscatine gives particulars of
the latest in the case:
The saloon in the city of Muscatine

Davenport and received In this city.
Judge Bollinger finds that the mulct
petition is insufficient because Of the
absence of date with 596 signatures
on the article Of consent This means
that Muscatine will 90 dry again at
once, and II Will be az least year
before any effort can be made by any
of the saloonkeepers to reopen their
dispengaries Of vet goods. The decis-
ion marks the elimination Of one Of
the greatest fights ever put up against

LOS ANGELES

Ohm BARRETT. one of the ex-
ceedingly few trained and eX-
- perienced diplomats of whom the
United States can boast, advocates
closer relations between Southern Cali
fornia and Latin America. The Herald
has pointed out repeatedly that while
in the development of San Pedro har-
Dor a great increase of trade with the
Orient might be looked for, it was to
be expected that what we have called
coastwise commerce would receive even
greater immediate stimulus, and we
have shown that the South American
traffic would make the completion of
San Pedro plans we'll worth while"
Mr.. Barrett says Los Angeles is not
merely city of homes and resort
for tourists, but by virtue of its COM
manding geographical position both
landward and seaward is pre-eminent-
ly fitted for great manufacturing and
commercial projects. Citizens must
plan for the future in order that Los
Angeles may take it's rightful place
among the great cities of the country,
with trade extending into all parts of
the world and with an interchange of
products with the republics on the
west coast of South America. Mr..
Barrett's experience entities him to be
listened to with profound considera-
tion. In prospects and opportunities,
this is easily the most favored city
on the North American continent.
If our citizens will work together,
if they will be brotherly and helpful,
and form as it were a big Boost So
ciety, the progress of Los Angeles in
the next few years will be greater than
in all her previous history

Elimination OF Foraker
Shows Great Ethical Change


ties as members of congress- Nobody
has ever before been criticised on sucn
account"
II is strange moral blindness that
permits a man of brains In apparent
full possession Of his faculties to make
a plea like this. Foraker put himself
under heavy pecuniary obligations by
taking pay from Standard oil for legal
work of an unimportant character
work that could have been done at
tenth of the cost by. non-politidal law
yers, and he asks people to believe that
such employment did not in any way
conflict with his duties as member
of congress-" says the San Francisco
Call.
The ridiculous character of this plea
Is made apparent by the letters from
Archbold requesting his interference to
block legislation that might injure
Standard Oil and asking him to do
Ohio politics to defeat candidate who
had proved his hostility to the same
interest. A request of that kind based
on heavy obligations is a command.
Senator Foraker's views on political
ethics are out Of date. They belong
to a dead era, an era as dead as For
al<er himself. The corporation lawyer
in congress and in the Legislature is
ready for elimination everywhere. The
time Is coming when, as a factor In
legislation, he will be ds much extinct

HEARST

IN HERE is something melancholy IN
the published descriptions of the
Il spectacle presented by Hearst at
his meeting. HE read his speech. And
as he read he kept stalking around the
table, bending his body almost double.
AS he drove in each proof against his
enemies his delight was evident" says
n report.
Who wrote the speech which Hearst
read, with chuckles of appreciative de-
light, evidently the delight of the read
er, and not of an originator? Who is
coaching Hearst, and why is he al
lowing himself to be coached? What
is behind all this Hearst farce? Which
member of the great ring of Hearst
exploiters will be the first to quarrel
with the rest, and, in a syndicate or
magazine article which will be at once
the most saddening and the most hu-
norous of all the ages, tell us all he
knows, or in vulgar English, "squeal"?
oAnd may we then look forward to a
complete revelation of the Hartman
deal, which is not being explained sat
isfactorily either by comedian Hearst
or his supporting company? But is he
Comedian Hearst?" Does It not be-
gin to look as if the people of the Unit
ed States I'm the Hearst exhibition were
watching not farce but tragedy?

GAMBLERS PANIC

TN HIS review-history Of the panic.
President Graves of Los Angeles
Il Clearing House association char
acterized this Republican disaster as
more serious and more far reaching
than any which had hitherto occurred
in the United States. "It came not un-
heralded." he added, because all of
us knew it must come sooner or later.
1t came as the elimination of the most
gigantic industrial upheaval of this or
any other age; as the elimination,
likewise, of an era of frenzied specula-
ton that had permeated every section
of the land and every element of So
ciety
beginning with colossal combina-
tions of capital, in business mergers
where the amounts involved staggered
the Imagination, it ended only when the
great captains of industry and financial
institutions in New York had gambled
themselves to a standstill. Confidence
having once been shaken, runs began
upon institutions of high standing and
undoubted integrity. The cry went up
or Rather lnG lIlSIiuCI NClAI DAOeA0
and grew into activity--to hoard mon
ey, and it was done. Nowhere in the
history of the world was so much money
withdrawn from circulation and locked
up in the same length of time as
throughout this country in October
and November of 1907"
So the Republican captains of in
dustry, the famous "angels" of Repub-
lican campaigns, the lords of finance
and business, who had been holding
Belshazzar feasts to celebrate their
greatness and the glory of the Re-
publican party which delivered to them
the national resources for a prey, ended
the spurious Republican prosperity
by gambling themselves to a stand
still" And for a renewal of the con-
ditions which first suggested, then fos-
tered, then permitted, then couldn't
help and could not hinder, this gi-
gantic conspiracy against nation
and its elimination in a. colossal
calamity, they are asking the out
ragged nation to give the tRepublican
party another chance, in order that
they may have another opportunity to
create trusts and gamble!
