1T is TIE only range in the world

kepford's Great Work.

Clinton Herald: We simply can
not say too much in regard to the
work of that splendid man and edu.
Gator, Rev. A. E. Kepford, state lee
turer on tuberculosis. He has been
appearing at the chautauquas for
some time, and now. Immediately at
ter the state fair, he Is going oft in
the state and attend the county and
district fairs, he is going out TO the
people, everywhere for the purpose OF
spreading the word against the dread
white plague.
The eastern writer who recently
sought to make fur OF Kepford be-
cause OF his anti-kissing episode
knew little of the character of the
man and the great work he is doing.
Nothing that Kepford says or does can
be taken lightly. He is playing part
in great world tragedy. and there
is no comedy anywhere along the line.
Iowa people, however realize what he
is doing, and are coming to fuller
realization every day. And that is
sufficient after all.

ON DUTY AGAIN.

After an absence of two weeks
spent largely in travel in the east
the editor of this paper has returned
to his work refreshed in mind and
body by experiences radically differ
ent from the previors daily routine
which had been unbroken for several
years. He has also on hand, it is to
be hoped for the good of all concern
ed, no less stock of grace than he
took away with him. Certain 1t Is
that any smaller amount would be in
sufficient to reconcile him to the fact
forced upon his attention that he is
by no means Indispensable. During
his absence the paper appeared as
usual, with the usual quantity and
quality of reading matter, and every
thing proceeded after the same order
ly fashion as if he had been present.
Not to put too fine point on the
matter, he wasn't missed, either in
the Office or by the readers of the
paper. The experience rightly in
terpreted is conducive to humility,
which, we are assured, is genuine
proof of Christian virtue. Anyway,
he is on duty again-a fact that might
be overlooked but for this announce
ment.

FATHER o,REILLY.

The news columns of The Gate
City have told of the serious illness
of Father O'Reilly, pastor of ST
Peters church, and the intelligence
has caused widespread regret. No one
in Keokuk is better known or more
dearly loved by the community as n
whole In ali its history this city
never had the benefit of the example
of more beautiful character or a
finer life. From the first, through a
long series of years, he has been a
power for good. How greatly he has
aided the forces that make for right
eousness in the world can never be
told. A more unselfsh man never
lived His benefactions would fill a
volume, but they will never be known
except to himself and the recipients.
One thing he has kept steadily IN
view and it has been impossible ever
to swerve him by SO much as hairs
breadth from it's accomplishment
to-wit: the advancement of the King
dom of God among men. This has
been his chosen work and right

should never die. Ibis is the way
1t is simply told:
From the time the Ohio struck the
rocks OF Steel Point, Alaska, at /
o'clock in the morning, the operator
and the others who gave their lives
knew their chances were small. They
knew that on them the lives OF 12S
passengers depended. They were in
communication with the mainland up
to the very moment Of their sinking.
and they expressed no thoughts for
themselves.
Operator Booth at the United Wire
less station at Ketchikan, Alaska, re-
ceived their plea for the passengers,
and he received Eccles' "30," the
telegrapher's goodby as the gallant
fellow sank.
To his company, which Eccles also
served, he sent the following graphic
account today:
About / a. m. I was sitting with
my receivers clapped to my ears, hav-
ing just finished working with Oper-
ator Eccles on board the Ohio. when

message: Ohio struck a rock

THE steamships Humboldt and
Rupert Of the Mckenzie Bros Steam
ship company happened to be near
at the time, and they both called the
Ohio, asking for her latitude. Eccles
gave it Immediately, and the Rupert
flashed back that they would change
their course and stand by the Ohio
as soon as possible
"In the meantime Eccles sent an
other message, saying: Ohio sink

THE Humboldt and Rupert both re.
piled that they were headed for the
Ohio and would pick the passengers

finished: Passengers all of and

The Iowa railroad commission has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
it has legal power to advance rates as
we'll as to reduce them. The commits
sion says, however. that this SIS i'm
portant rather as an abstract proposi-
ton than otherwise. for the reason
that modern conditions all tend to a
lowering of rates rather than raising
them" The commissions opinion was
given in passing on the application of
several lines for an advance in rates
on a number of articles. The Iowa law
provides tina. the commission shall
from time to time change rates in eff
feet, "but the rates fixed shall not be
higher than established by law" AS
the legislature never passed a law
specifically fixing rates, the commits
sion holds that it is left free to advance
or reduce them as 1t may think Just.

Quincy Whig: Printers know
what go" means. So do tele-
graphers and men who han
die the newspapers. All the world
will now know what it msaEs. go"
will become household word. An
event transpired Friday morning that
made it immortal. 1t was when
George C. Eccles flashed it by wire
less into the sky, as he went down
with the steamship Ohio on the Alas
kan coast, to his death, after saving
the 1913 passengers who were aboard
when the vessel struck reef at
Steel Point. His hand was still on
the key when the ship disappeared
beneath the waves.
The last take" OF the printer is
go" The last words of the tele.
graph for the regular newspaper edi-
ton has been received, and the tele-
grapher's work is done. when go"
speeds over the wire. 1t has been
woven into immortelles and placed
on countless graves of printers, tele-
graphers and newspaper workers. 1t
stands for "f1nis.''
Eccles hurled this fms of his own
life into the air and across the sea.
He emplazoned it upon the dark sky
and above the turbulent, destroying
sea even as he died. He impressed it
indelibly on the history of heroic
deeds and fearless, faithful perform
ance of duty. He flung it bravely
into the face of fate and, with its
lightning fire, scared the fangs of
death and robbed them of their sharp
ness. And in the final cracking,
flashing sparks he read to the world,
not only its meaning, but the truth
that heroism Is not dead.
The Wanted greatness of Jack
Binn's deed has been exploded At
the wireless key he did nothing more
than his duty in safety, and his pas
sengers were saved before any vessel
responding to his message had arriy-
ed on the scene. He did well, but
there are few who would not have
done precisely as he did. George
Eccles' work was done with the
breath of death upon his face and
hands. With every tick of the in
strument he knew he was talking with
the grave. He knew he was lost
when he sent "3o' spending through
the air.
Four other members Of the crew
died with the Inflated vessel. The
passengers were sIccored just In
time. The FIVE died to save others
And not passenger was lost.

In an address at Detroit last week
before the annual convention Of the
American Bar Association, the retir-
ing president, F. w. lehman, franz
ly advocated federal publicity and
control of the great modern corpora
tons on the theory that power tends
TO abuse. He declared that no state
could deal with the problem and
master it, and that there had been
and could be no concert of action be-
tween the states. Industrial corpora
tions were just as much agencies Of
interstate commerce as the common
carriers because monopoly of produc-
ton involves control Of commerce in
a given commodity. But it had been
held that production was not within
the commerce clause of the constitu-
ton. Hence the necessity of federal
supervision and publicity to protect
the public.

The Cedar Rapids Republican de-
clares that as far as Governor Car
roll is concerned, he seems fairly en-
titled to be his own successor. The
case as to our present governor is
thus fairly and conservatively stated
by that paper:
1t can not be said of him that he
has in any way misused his office, or
that he has given the state anything
except sincere service. He mas dis
charged all his executive duties faith
fully and honestly, without self-ad
yertisement, modestly and competent
ly. The politicians who are taking
counsel how they may destroy him
politically would better be about their
own business.

Bue-Duck BIG MONEY MAKER.
Training Ducks to Feed on Potato
Bugs-Doilar Day Per Duck.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 3o.-Joseph Ju.
nette, who farms on the Alton Bluffs.
thinks he will go to duck" farming
and educate ducks to eat potato bugs
at 81 day a duck.
Just now Junette is enjoying an In
come of SIS day from fifteen ducks
which he has trained to clear potato
patches OF the little spotted pests.
Several weeks ago Farmer Junette.
who is original If anything, conceived
the idea OF making his ducks work
for their board and keep" and at the
same time earn a surplus.
He shut up the ducks in a pen and
fed them on potato bugs exclusively
after starving them until they were
glad to get the bug diet. Junette la
bored gathering large herds of potato
bugs for the fowls, which quacked Joy
fully when they saw him coming with
their rations.
At last the ducks were ready to be
graduated, each with the honorary de-
gree of P. B. E.-potato bug externld-
ator. They held June commence
ment and were turned out into the
warm world to begin their careers as
bug winners for themselves.
Junette tried them first on his own
potato patch, which comprised several
acres. The ducks went through the
patch like a neighborhood's scandal.
In an hour there wasn't a bug on a
potato plant in the entire four-acre
field.
After the performance Junette shut
up his B. P. e. brigade in the bug pen.
SO they would not acquire taste for
other diet. He kept them bugless un-
til they were hungry again and then
let them to his neighbors on a per
diem basis.
The ducks are in great deL,and on
the farms in Junette's neighborhood.
Farmers are glad to pay $3.50 an hour
for the services OF the brigade.
Junette has IN sight an income OF
500 a week from the fifteen tucks al.
ready employed.
What's the use to work." said Ju.

Is 1t a proper function of an official
OF a great railroad to milk passen-
gers COW, as an inducement to the
passenger to travel over his railroad?
This is not a frivolous question but
one now confronting the legal depart
ment of the Chicago Great Western
Railway Co.. because a farmer and
his family wanted to travel, but could
not leave a COW, until the station
agent agreed to do the milking.
