rANY IN favor or PLAN
sKeokuk Has Not Celebrated For
About Ten Years and Would
Attract Many From,
Near by Towns.

An excellent opportunity IL Afforded
"a Keokuk to have an old fashioned
Fourth Of July celebration this year
md j number Of the business men are
taking the matter over.
The Fourth comes son Sunday this
year and therefore either Saturday or
Monday would have to be celebrated,
either day finding favor with those
who have talked the matter over.
1t has been about ten years since
Keokuk has done anything In the way
ii celebration Of the Fourth and II
one was arranged and announced, 1t
would no doubt bring big crowd Of
people here to celebrate.
To those people who believe that
tie saloons must be open In order to
have a successful celebration this
wear offers that inducement, for the.
Fourth coming on Sunday, the thirst
parlors can be open on the day which
would be celebrated.
Although the Fourth Is but a little
over Ave weeks in the future. there is
fine vet to make all OF the necessary
arrangements and a whooping big cele-
bration could be arranged and pulled
Oh
II the Fourth Is to be celebrated, a
statt should be made at once and a
public meeting called for some even.
ing this week to talk the matter over.
The Gate City was asked this morn
ing to call such a meeting, but be-
lieves that the call should come from
some Of the business men and the
hint is hereby dropped for a number
Of them to talk the matter over and
issue call for 4 meeting to discuss
the matter,
keokuk Always Draws Well.
Keokuk never fails to draw large
crowds whenever celebration Is
given, for the reason that the city
never disappoints its visitors.
n BY the giving Of rousing cele-
bration either on Saturday or Monday.
July or s, there would be many
visitors come to the city and the result
would be good from every point Of
view.
The baseball schedule shows Keo-
kuk at home on Saturday, but at Bur
slington on Monday, so those people
who believe ball game is necessary
would urge the Observance Of Satur-
day. The date cc;lld be determined by
meeting Of the citizens, the majority
of whom no doubt are in favor Of a
celebration this year.

THE WATERWAY CONVENTION

1t does n11 appear that President Taft ex-
nlolted any great degree of enthusiasm in
tne waterways project Perhaps his timidity
arises from the evident antagonism Of East
ern interests and the shadow of the large
electoral vote Of the state of New York.
The happy smile and glad hand of railroad
magnates is hyperbolical demonstration,
covering knowledge that diminished
campaign fund would have a bitter taste
about election time But while President
Taft has none Of the Roosevelt combative-
ness that strikes Git at the first suggestion
of opposition, he has declared himself favor
able, with the Missouri clause thrown in
that he must be shown it's practicability, etc.
But it is encouraging to note that there
was strength enough in the convention to
corral Joe Cannon, and there is fighting ma
terial enough alined with the movement, as
shown by the resolutions which we print on
the first page, to make certain a fight to the
finish, with probable victory in sight.

course of great assistance to them. Those
who cannot spare the time from the labors
of the farm for thorough course of instruc-
ton might be able to take advantage of six
months tuition:
Enthusiastic over the agricultural educa-
tlOnal work that he witnesses in the Central
and Western States, T. H. Harris, State Su-
perintendent of Education, returned to Ba-
ton Rouge this morning from tour of Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota taken with the
superintendent of sixteen of the Southern
States as the guest Of Robtert c.. Ogden of
New York.
The first stop we made was at Page,
Iowa, ," said Mr.. Harris. Page county
is supposed to have one of the best systems
of rural schools in the country.
Each school is made to fit into the rural
life of the community in which it is located.
The boys are taught to farm and the girls
are taught domestic science. saw little
girl sixteen years old make milk test and
explain to US all the amount of butter fat in
the milk
" The livest proposition, however, that
we struck on the tour was the University Of
| Wisconsin. From an agricultural stand
point it is unquestionably the greatest school
| ever visited.
1t has an agricultural school which any
farmer Or farm boy can enter no matter
what his scholarship is. If he can just read
and write he can enter this school, take q
six months course when he is not busy on
the farm, and go back on the farm for the
balance of the year and raise his crops.
Old men of seventy and boys of sixteen
attend this school. For ten days the school
conducts an institute at which the farmers
bring their stock and discuss matters of
stock raising and crop raising with the in
structors of the universitv.

AN ADVANTAGEOUS SYSTEM OF
SCHOOLS FOR FARMERS.

The comments below are from the Baton
Rouge Daily State-Times. The University
of Wisconsin represents just such a system
as would give excellent results in the State
of Louisiana, and as would enable many of
the farmers Of this parish to take an agri-
cultural course of study who are now de-
barred from doing so by educational require
ments. There are many farmers who can
scarcely more than read and write whose
natural intelligence would make such a

inc chief features of t4.e festivities were the laying of the cornerstone of the Ref ormation monument and the observance of the three hundred and f1ftleth annf- versary of the founding of Geneva uni versity. The monument, which subscrip- tions from all countries made possible. and the cornerstone of which was laid with fitting ceremony on July 6, is de- signed as historical, popular and inter national" symboizing the idea of Calvin In the reformation. It will rise on the Esplanade Bastions, at the foot of the ancient ramparts of the city and directly in front of the university, and will repre- sent the salient ana striking chapters Of the reformation, with statues of the his- torical personages who were conspicu- ous in that movement. among whom were Calvin. Farel, Debeze, Coligny William of Orange and Frederick Wil- liam of Brandenburg. The monument will be the work of Taillens and La Yer rere. architects, and Landowski and Bouchard, scuptors.
 More than two hundred universities and other institutions of learning were represented at the celebration of Geneva university. Count D'Hauionville, mem Der of the French Academy. delivered a notable oration in the name of the 1nsti- ute of France.

PRESIDENT TAFT PAYS
 TRIBUTE TO WORKERS

Ingram Memorial Congregational, of which Dr. J. W. Frizzel Is the pastor. President Taft, who is a Mason, and who at rerent cornerstone laying in this city .crked for nearly Is minutes In spreading mortar all over the sur face upon which the big granite block was to rest, was somewhat disappointed today wh len he found that his only funo- toin was to place in position and seal into the stone a metal box containing photographs of himself, of the pastor and various records and trinkets.
 T am an accomplished mason" pro- tested the President.
 "Dr Frizzel laughingly replied that the church did not want to take any chances and had had the stone set be- fore the President took charge"
 q am glad to know, to see and to believe" said the President, that all churches in a way, not so completely as this plan indicates, are adopting the view that there Is nothing inconsistent between religion and duty. and happi- ness and rational amusement, and that the union of all of them is not some thing that Is repellant to the real re- ligious soul"

TARIFF BOARD IS
 BADLY WANTED

New York, July u.-Delegates of a number of business mems assqciations will so to Washington early this week to urge upon the Senate and House con- ferees that 8 tariff commission be incor- porated as a part of the tariff bill. The call has been issued by H. E. Miles, chair man of the committee appointed at the Indianapolis tariff convention, which ap- proved the plan for a tariff commission Delegates from other parts of the coun- try will meet the New York delegation at Washington.
 The delegation today issued the follow ing statement:
 "A canvass recently conducted among one thousand commercial bodies through out the country shows that fully 90 per cent of these organizations favor crea- ton of tariff bond or some satisfactory method of handling this perplexing busi- ness proposition in the future. The fig ures quoted show a total membership in the 1000 commercial associations, exceed ing half million corporations, firms and individuals. The approximate capitaliza- ton exceeds the enormous sum of four teen billions of dollars

TESTIMONIAL TO
 DR. UT. PLUNKET

Augusta, July 11.-(Special.)-No at testation to or testimonial of the love and respect entertained for Dr. J. T. Plunket inSAugusta could have been of greater significance than the farewell service held at the First Presbyterian church tonight. The ediflce was crowd ed. There were many people in the grove outside. The congregations of the First Presbyterian, the First Bap- tist, First Christian, St. Johns Meth O. dist and St. Paul's Episcopal combined to attend the service. The respective pastors of these churches occupied seats on the rostrum. Rev. Howard T. Cree presided. The service was opened with an elaborate organ prelude, followed by prayer by Rev. c. Sherwood Whitney, Rev. George E. Guile read appropriate passages from scripture and prayer was pronounced by Rev. L. G. Johnson. There followed short addresses by Rev. G. Ashby Jones and Dr. Richard Wilkinson. MT. Edwin Hill made a brief talk on pr. Plunket's assistance in Y. M. c. A. work, and Dr. Plunket made a feeling address. A beautiful musical programme interspersed the exercises.
 During the meeting pr. Guile read the resolutions adopted by the ministers of the city. These resolutions are a beautiful tribute of love and esteem for pr. Plunket.

Washington, July Manifestations multi ply that President Taft's announced tim erary for his western and southern trip this fall will be materially extended. The President himself did not include in the tentative list which was published all of the places where he expects to stop long enough to make an address and hold a brief car-end reception. The itinerary was made up of those cities where the President will spend from one to two days.
 Already the President has been bonn barded with invitations from points along the route. He has suggested to all of his callers and correspondents that they take the matter up with him later in the summer. During the trips he has made thus far the President has adhered to the policy of journeying In single pri- vate car attached to regular trains The trips have been comparatively short, how ever and on them the President has been bothered with as little public business as possible. On his far western trip, how ever. where trains are run heavier and
