The law passed by the legislature
at its recent session intended to
clean up" Iowa cities and keep them
clean has been given a trial at Sioux
Citywith the usual result The Jour
nal thus tells of its practical work
ings as regards the hotels there:
THE integrity OF our hotels seems
to be involved. BY closing houses OF
Ill repute. Sioux City has acquired a
line of new. hotels, with names Dor
rowed from the language OF respect
ability. 1t is up to the police to take
interest in the matter of the integ-
rity Of our hotels"
More than likely similar results will
follow attempts to enforce the law in
other communities. The Dubuque
Times-J Journal well says in comment
ing on the Sioux City situation:
It is the old story. Close the sa
looms and "blind pigs spring up
Close the s'red light district and
women go where they can go; they
must go somewhere. Drive them from
the hotels and they must go some
| where. Drive them from somewhere
and they must go somewhere else
Thus society reforms" them, raises
them up, and assists them to do bet

HENDERSON AND ROBERTS


1t was confidently expected that the
Republicans OF the Fourth and Sixth
wards would use splendid judgment in
making choice Of candidates for the
aldermanic vacancies in those wards,
and this expectation was in nowise
disappointed There isn't single
valid objection to be urged against
eft5 tsntlepan They fill the BIZ. in
eyeyN paf(4SNiar and are eminently
deserving Of election.
Both candidates are old and respect
ed citizens Of Keokuk. Both are
gentlemen of fine personal character
and admitted ability, They have in
innate personal knowledge Of Keo-
kuks condition and needs and they
know how to legislate for the best
interests Of all concerned. Their adj
dition to the membership Of the city
ca { iassgpuld be a distinct gain to
that body and the community The
probabilities are that both will be
elected by handsome majorities, as
they should be. The voters Of the
Fourth and Sixth wards will honor
themselves by making Messrs. Hender-
son and Roberts their representatives
ii the local law-making body.

Where the Girls shine.

Cedar Falls Record: The girls have
the boys badly outclassed when 1t
comes to looking real nice at com
mencement time. They can don all
manner Of snowy buds, and here and
there a little establishment In the way
of lace. ribbons or flowers and then
put the finishing touches on the hair
and a little powder on the face and
say: Young man. you are not In it..
The best us men folks can do is to go
moping around with lot of heavy
clothes on, a collar grasping the throat
and highly starched shirt front
punching us under the chin. Per.
chance point has been reached
where the coat can be removed with
safety, but this must be logged about
and its presence is ofttimes very much
Of a nuisance. Yes, the women folks
have us going some when it comes to
comfort in dressing. and in the face
of this condition every man thinks it
is an awful cruel thing for woman
to wear a corset.

ALL ABOARD FOR MARS.

Robert w. Barker of Paterson. n
J., his invented motor working on
the principle Of centrifugal force
which, he believes. will In time solve
the problem OF interplanetary com
munication. Mr.. Barker says that his
motor will project solid body
through the air without the aid OF pro-
pellors or wings and that it will COM
pletely revolutionize land and sea
travel. Mr.. Barke.. says he expects to
travel a million miles minute witt
a machine operated in the new way,
which is certainly a pretty good gait.
and he predicts that we will take joy
rides to Mars some day. Unfortunate
ly all Mr.. Barker has done to date
is to make claims for his invention. A
few practical tests would be more sat
isfying than any number of such large
expectations.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Mar
shalltown they certainly have some
new ideas in religion. The other day
one of the ministers refused to preach
funeral sermon for man named
Jorgenson because the A. o. U. W.
lodge of which he had been member
had given dances to support him. It
seems that Jorgenson lad been sick
for two or three years and he was to
some extent an object OF charity. The
lodge of which he was a member. &C
cordingly got UP benefit dance, the
proceeds of which went to him to sup
ply his necessities. Because he had
been such beneficiary the good
preacher refused to give him bless
Ing. after his death.
That may be morals and religion
and goad conduct and everything else
In Marshalltown. but we fail to under
stand 1t that way here. 10 us It
looks like taking petty religious spite
out on dead man. To what extent
was that dead mans soul injured be-
cause some of his friends provided
money for the sustenance of his body
by giving dance? The preacher who
would draw such q fine distinction Is
too good for this earth. or rather, he
Is too mean for this earth. He is bigot-
ed. narrow and spiteful and there is
40 telling what sort Of other mean
.hings he might do. The broadness
of human Kindness and the milk of
human kindness are not in him. He
would make good man at cruel
ixion and he would probably be among
hose who did the crucifying.

Interurbans and Retail Trade.

Des Moines Capital: When men
and women carrying light baggage are
seen on the streets OF Des Moines
early in the morning, looking as If
they dust arrived in town, it can
be easily inferred that they came in
on one Of the interurban lines. We
doubt II our interurbans are appre-
ciated at their true value when it
comes to a summing up as regards
retail trade. The people waste no
time They make their purchases
and take them home with them Pos
sibly our merchants place a proper
value on the interurbans. Retailers
know that this market has been great
lly multiplied as to selling within the
past three years, ami they must know
that something has operated to make
this Increase possible. Des Moines
needs more interurban lines. This
must not be forgotten.

tiers that are deman ding my immediate
attention. and thinking that you need
ed this information at once. will
simply say that Cedar Rapids Is very
well satisfied with the commission
plan of government. and believe that
It Is a great advance over the old
plan. The principal features In favor
of the plan are that the commissioners
are in session at all times and II there
is any business matter to be taken up
tits not delayed for months as 1t was
formerly, through our city council.
Our city commissioners take matters
up and oftentimeg dispose of them the
same day they are presented. The
best feature about the whole PROPOSE
tion is that the whole city has the
selection of its commissioners, where.
under the old plan, each ward selected
its aldermen, and oftentimes some
ward heeler' was elected and was kept
in Office for years because of having
a pull in the ward. where under the
commission plan, the same person
could not have been elected at all.
IF can be of any further service
to you in this matter. advise me.
Yours very truly

all tell the same story as to the COM

WHAT THE COMMISSION PLAN

The Kansas City Star has investi
gated the practical workings and re.
suits Of the commission plan of city
government and makes most en-
lcollraging report. In summarizing its
findings it says that In every city
where the commission government has
been tried 1t has invariably brought
about the following gratifying results:
It has created new civic pride.
1t has established new standard of
public morals In municipal affairs.
1t has removed the municipal bust
ness from the realm of ward politics.
1t has enforced the laws and estab-
lished order and decency in the civic
life.
1t has kept the cities out OF debt
while 1t increased the efficiency of the
public service.
1t has added to the public improve
ments in every city and at the same
time has reduced the taxes of the
citizens.
1t has made it possible for the peo-
pie to secure improvements when
they were needed and has eliminated
the circumlocution office in the adj
ministration of the peoples business.
These are one and all highly desir-
able ends and there is no reason why
they should not be attained In Keo
kuk no less certainly than elsewhere
Keokuk needs more civic pride. Il
also needs a new and higher standard
of public morals in the conduct of Its
municipal affairs. 1t needs to have
Its business matters divorced from
politics. 1t needs increased efficiency
| in its public service and more public
improvements at less expense. Lastly
| it needs a direct and speedy method
CT dealing with public matters ant
securing desirable results. These
things are made possible by the com
mission plan, and it has been the ex
perience of every community that hal
tried 1t that they Invariably follow
The vote in It's favor in this city OF
4 Thursday Of next week should be prac
tically unanimous.

buildings, new bridges. new rails,
new cars, new locomotives, new works

come advices of wider wholesale and
retail distribution, larger employment
of labor, additional work for con-
tractors and builders, increased de-
mand for manufacturing materials,
satisfactory advance fall sales. Spe-
cific figures showing improvements are
given as follows:
From the railroads come state
ments of gross earnings 11.2 per cent
better than last year and only 8 per
cent under 1907. From the great agri-
cultural districts come reports of Inn

The record of bank clearings is re-
markable, in that it shows gains at
New York of 1871 per cent over last
year and of % 0 per cent over 1906
while outside of New York, where
speculative transactions do not swell

cent over 1908 and 1913 per cent over
1906. The foreign commerce OF the
port of New York, representing fully
/ 45 per cent of the international trade
of the United States, amounted in the
latest week to $50 ,552, 406. gain o.
s2135.463 over 1908 and of $3,39S,OSt
over 1907. the gain being chiefly II

exterior commerce, the weeks exhibit
is Of sustained improvement-and this
in spite of the fact that the depate
on The tariff is protracted beyond the
anticipated limits, and has not ye
reached the final state of the confer
ence committee. The iron ana s.ee
trade continues to expand in produc
tion and demand. The dry goods
market advances in strength, and II
certain lines in prices. Improving
crop prospects at home and ABROAD
have led TO a decline in wheat. bu
i with excellent prices for his chic
products the American farmer IS prac
tically assured OF prosperity, even
the crops are no larger than an aver
age five-year yield.

The commission plan has wi

The commission plan has with
stood the severest tests. 1t has
succeeded where the old fashioned
style Of municipal government with
its wards and aldermen had broken
down. Under it bankrupt cities can
be made solvent without Gripping the
people by taxation. Under it more
can be done for the peop,- with less
money. That ought to commend it to
cities that are solvent Keokuk among
the number.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-06-22

Unbiased reports agree in giving
hearty Endorsement to the commission
plan of municipal government. The
committee of the Illinois senate which
visited Galveston. Houston and other
Commission FORM cities has reported
that this kind Of government has
given to these cities fearless, pro-
|gressive and conscientious officials"
That's what American cities need!
Then, too, they reported that "the
cities are entering upon an era of
great prosperity and that these
cities "have the full confidence of their
citizens in the integrity of their pub
| lie officials and in the efficiency of the
commission form of government. The
commission plan is what Keokuk
needs at the present juncture of its
affairs beyond a doubt.
