sprcIAL ELEcTIoN TOMORROW.

OC&&tHAs GeeS Sl<slN wv ~ -
The special election tomorrow to
vote on the commission plan OF city
government VIII be the most important
city election ever held In Keokuk. In
q far greater degree than In any pre-
vious local election the welfare Of the
municipality hinges on the outcome OF
the contest Simple statement OF tAis
fact should be sufficient to ensure
full vote and an overwhelming major
itv in favor OF the proposed change.
In all essential particulars and from
every point OF View the commission
plan is preferable to the aldermanic
system hitherto in vogue. The pres
emit system involves the conduct OF
the business OF the city on a political
rather than business basis. There
would be Just as much sense IN con-
Quoting manufacturing enterprise or
3obbing house or the business OF any
other corporation along political lines.
A municipality Is nothing more than
a large corporation in which every res
ident Is stakeholder and In the
management OF whose affairs he has a
voice through his vote. The PROPOSE
ton which will come before these
stockholders tomorrow is to do away
with politics entirely in the transac-
ton Of the city's business and transact
1t as it should be transacted on
business basis In businesslike way.
No argument should be needed to con-
vice any intelligent, unbiased person
that this is the proper thing to do.
The superiority Of the commission
plan over the aidermanic system is adj
mitted by all who have investigated
their respective merits with an open
mind. Considerations Of self-interest
as opposed to the public good Will
probably influence certain persons 70
vote against making any change IN
our form Of government, but the very
fact that certain persons are enabled
to profit by the present form OF city
government at the expense OF the rest
OF the community is In itself SUI
ficient reason why the proposed
change should be made. Under the com.
mission plan it will be possible to
have not only more efficient city gov
eminent but more economical city gov
eminent. The people the stockhold-
ers in the municipal corporation VIII
have larger voice in the management
Of its affairs. They will be in closer
touch with the men they select 70
transact their business for taem and
they will be In position to enforce
every reasonable and Legitimate de-
mand. They will know all the time
what is being done and why 1t is being
done They will get better service
and larger and more satisfactory re-
turns for the money expended. In 9
word the commission plan rightly ad'
m,nistered assures intelligence, Ell
fciency and economy in the admin
;stration of the city's affairs, in strong
contrast to the hapaazard, slipshod, in
efficient, expensive methods which Oh
lta;n under the aldermanic system
The change to the commission pla'
should be made by all means and by
practically unanimous vote.

CAUSE OF ECZEMA EXPLAINED
Germs Foster in the Skin and Blood
Cures Are Impossible.

After years of debate medical author
tiles. are now agreed that Eczema and
other skin diseases are not seated in the
blood, but are caused by germs in the
skin. Myriads OF microscopic animals
gnaw the flesh just below the epioermis.
The patient is perfectly healthy, it is
onlV the skin that is diseased. Hence
scientists are now agreed thst you must
cure the skin through the skin.
The medicine must be in liquid form
in order to penetrate properly. And we
can say with confidence that we have
the true remedy for Eczema in our store.
It is the mild Oil of Wintergreen wash
known as d. d. D. Prescription, and on
a special offer just now we are able to
give you a bottle in a large trial size at
only 25c.
The instant you wash with this sooth-
ing liquid you will find the itch relieved.
We positively assure you Of this. VIII

of Unrest
and Uncertainty
in Venezuela
Former President Castro Accused of
Fomenting Revolution and His
Partisans are Arrested.

CARACAS, Tuesday, Nov. 22.-Former
President Castro, ar exile in Santander.
Spain, is accused daily by the highest Off
cials Of the Venezuelan government OF at
tempting to foment a revolution against
the Gomez regime.
The continued agitation caused by the
recent sensational split in the liberal party
when an attempt was made to reorganize
Il, the wholesale arrests Of Castro partisans
and by the near approach Of the next ses-
sion of congress, which will elect a constitu-
tlonal president for four years. has stirred
political feeling until again today a spirit
OF unrest and uncertainty exists.
Either a serious condition Of affairs does
exist in Venezuela, due to steps being taken
by the overthrow dictator to wreak ven
geance on President Gomez, or there is an
object which inspires the government to
make it appear that Castro is busy conspir-
ing with his followers. This object, the
opponents of Gomez say, is perhaps to
justify the wholesale arrests which nave
been made.
Everyone believes Castro will never rest
until he has made another effort to ruin
those who were responsible for his down
fall. Times are hard for his friends in
Venezuela today. The following are among
many notables now languishing in the same
prisons which they once filled with their
enemies:
r. Tello Mendoza, Castro's boon COM
paniOn and f~inancier who made millions for
himself; Simon Bello, Castro's brother-in-
law; Trino Castro, Castro's brother; r.
Castillo Chapellin, chief of the Castro party
in the late congress, and General Celestino
Peraza, leader of the opposition in con-
gress.
Peraza was jailed because he was about
to start a campaign to prevent the election
of President Gomez. Many of the best
friends Of Gomez believe that the reor-
gRnization OF the liberal party now going
on threatens the present administrator and
that at the last moment congress will bring
forward a man to oppose Gomez. Such able
and faithful supporters OF Gomez as Gem
eral leopold Baptista, who was the brains
Of the reaction against Castro, and Ramon
Ayala, first vice president OF Venezuela,
have emphatically refused to serve In the
party Organization or to countenance it in
any way.
