GETTING HUNGRY

Old Fashioned Rip Roaring Fourth Of
July Celebration For Keokuk
i Being Talked
About.
NO OTHER CELEBRATION

NO OTHER CELEBRATION


The hint thrown out last evening by
the Gate City that Keokuk should cele-
brate the Fourth of July this year,
met with favor in many quarters and
the topic was ansinteresting subject of
conversation during the evening and
today.
K Quite a number Of merchants are
in favor Of Keokuk having an old
fashioned or a new fashioned celebra-
ton this year in order to let her
friends and neighbors know that the
city is still patriotic and can do other
things besides having street fair
each year and a big Labor Day cele-
bration every three years.
On account Of the Labor Day cele-
bration last year, there will probably
be nothing of the kind this year, Keo-
kuk, Fort Madison. and Burlington
joining at one of the cities UP the
river.
The people who contribute willingly
for celebrations would be willing to
put up the money for good rousing
celebration OF the Fourth and the only
thing necessary is for some one to
start the ball rolling and get busy.
| The success of one day celebra-
tioon has been seen here by the re.
cent Labor Day celebration which
brought large crowds to the city and
were always successful.
Eagle Wants to Scream.
Arrangements could quickly be
made for a rousing big celebration Of
the Fourth in Keokuk, and 1t has been
SO long since the eagle has screamed
in Keokuk that there would undoubt-
edly be big crowd come here from
all nearby points.
The people are getting hungry to
see a big display Of fire works" said a
business man today: 1--WE have not
seen any for SO many years that II
would prove quite novelty.
If celebration were held this year
1T would not be necessary to try and
/ get up something new, for the old
fashioned rip roaring celebration
would be something new now since
there has been nothing like it for ten
years.
A meeting may be called for some
evening this week to talk the matter
over.

PUBLIC DRINKING CUP DANGER.
Movement to Abolish Them Rapidly 6aining
HeadWay,

The question of supplying individual
drinking cups in public places is receiv-
ing a good deal of consideration from
medical men at present. In this con-
nection the International Journal of
Surgery says:
1T Is said that at one of our colleges,
In 1907, the graduating class of eighty
young ladies at a final gathering all
drank from one loving cup; among them
was a girl who had recently had diph-
liberia, Reports are said to show that
after the young ladies had gone to their
homes large number of them were af-
fected with some sort of throat trouble.
"As result of drinking from the
chained cup in q large New York de-
partment store last winter, several
cl~rks were inoculated, and it is said
that the store has now installed small
automatic vendors of individual paper
paraffine cups.
Realizing the danger in the use of
the public drinking cup, the manage
ment of the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way Company has recently installed in
each Of the coaches employed in its ser
vice devices from which individual
drinking cups may be secured by all
passengers on the -the-slot
plan"

Two Years Of lneessant Politics.
Lynchburg News.


o yesterday the people of Virginia
witnessed an end to a long season of DO
u. al agitation. Almost a year ago It
began-almost the day after the Presi-
Dental election of 1908 And that Pres
idential election evidenced the end of
another prolonged political siege upon
public thought and attention. As early
as March, 1908, discussion of Presiden-
tial possibilities held the center of the
political stage in Virginia and elsewhere.
1t waxed hotter, and became the more
absorbing until the Chicago and Denver
conventions had met and adjourned:
whereupon Immediately opened a siren
uous Presidential campaign lasting un-
til November of last year. Then Vir-
ginlans at once became concerned az to
who would be nominated as Democratic
candidate for Governor, and the contest
for that honor began The entire Com
monwealth soon rang with the appeals
OF opposing aspirants for Democratic
preferment. The primary campaign
consumed months, and no sooner had
the primary booths closed than we en-
bsrked upon a contest between the Re-
publican ticket on the one hand and the
Democratic ticket upon the other.
These two years of almost uniater-
rupted political agitation in Virginia,
are to be succeeded by but a brief calm.
The opening guns of the Congressional
campaign Of 1910 will be heard before
many months pass. And after that,
the year 1911 will furnish occasion for
another political contest, as will 1912,
1913, 1914 and each year thereafter.
All this unless the State Constitution
be so changed as to afford relief-as to
so consolidate elections that they will be
held bi-ennially rather than annually.
Just now is an opportune time to think
upon this matter and to consider its inn
portance as affecting the material inter
ests Of the Commonwealth-jus now
when the Virginia public is so all awea-
ried with things political and doubtless
very protestant against the everlasting
ness of such conditions.

Mr.. TAFTs cATHOlIeITY.


One Of the most notable features of
the tour Of President Taft, which is
now nearing close, il the catholicity
displayed by the President in the deliv-
cry Of his various lay sermons and other
official utterances while en- route. Mr..
Taft's personal religious belief is clsssi-
fied as Unitarianism. Since he set out
on his tour he has laid corner-stones or
officiated otherwise in religious exer-
cises at an. orthodox Congregational
church in Washington, a Jewish taber-
nacle in Pittsburg, Catholic institution
In Montana. He preached in the Nor
mon tabernacle in Salt Lake City and in
Universalist church in Portland, Ore.
The most inspiring of all his appear
snces was in such capacity was when at
Fresno, Cal, he preached in the open
air at service in which all the church
organizations of the city-Catholic and
Protestant-joined.
That is the ideal union of church and
state mutual but Independent coop
GRAFTON and amity, celebrating denomi-
national lines on the part of tina church
and joining in fitting respect to the Of
fetal head Of the state. The moral eff
feet of such appearances Of the Presi-
dent must be far reaching and salutary,
contrasting wildly with the lsmentable
spectacle presented in most of the Eu-
ropean countries as a continuing condi-
ton, and particularly in Spain at the
present time.
The traveller has always been the
great welder Of the world, and the pres
emit tour of the President has strength
ened the bonds which unite the various
sections of the Union together, One
day guest of the Atlantic coast, the
next OF the great Middle West, the
third of the scenic West, then of the
mining districts, the Pacific Coast, and
the South, and the fact is borne home
to all sections that there ia really no
section at all, but that the President is
the President Of the whole people. No
President has taught this lesson moro
effectively and more ostentatiously than
has William II. Taft.

Baseom SIenp-An Estimate.

The following article is clipped from
the North Emporia Independent of No
vember 2, which, as the name implies,
is on neither side of the political ques-
ton, and has no preference of candi-
dates for public Offices:
IF Bascom Slemp were a Democrat
ne could be Governor of Virginia any
time he said the word. Not being align
ed with that party, he is the most for
midable opponent the party has in vir-
GINA.
Siemp is not a visionary politician,
neither is he theoretical business man.
DE has made good in both particulars.
Not 30 much that his father was q Re-
publican Congressman from the Ninth
District has he come to the fore. speak-
ing from a party standpoint, but In
spite of any handicap this fortunate
condition often places the son of q
father. Mr.. Slemp, by keen level head
edness, by business sagacity, has done
what few men in this State have ac-
complished-made his pile, and created
no fuss over the achievement. Slemp
cannot be accused of having a case of
Megalomanis. He is as plain as the
poverbial old shoe, free at all times
from affectation, and does not get in a
hurry when he is bored by pleading pol
iticians. He is courteous, but crisp. He
is suave, but not hypocritical. He is
cool, calculating and dignified where
differences arise, and never appears
over-zealous to argue with the indis-
Greet. His manner of silence usually
tells more than the average converse
ton could explain. Slemp looks you in
the eye when he talks business or poll
tics, and his thoughts are for you only.
He dispenses one kind of talk for all
upon the same subject. Siemp may be
