BETTER LIGHTING NEEDED.

One of Keokuk's urgent needs is bet
ter lighting of Main street from Third
to Twelfth during the evening hours.
Other cities are moving in the matter
OF illuminating their principal busi-
ness thoroughfares and Keokuk must
follow their example if it is to main
tain its reputation as a progressive
community. Des Moines was the
first city in Iowa to make its streets
attractive in this way. with Davenport
close second. In the latter city
the enterprising merchants in the
300 block on Brady street have led
off. and it is expected that in the.
course of a few months the whole
down town district in Davenport will
be attractively lighted.
The equipment necessary for such
special street illumination is not elab-
crate or expensive. Five electroliers
to city block are sufficient to flood
street with light. The electroliers
are set upon substantial posts and
tae more ornamental they are the bet
ter the effect AS raey are
IN use for only g few hours
each evening the cost of
electric current is only nominal. But
regardless of the matter of expense.
such illumination of business streets
has come to be necessity unless the
city is to suffer by comparison with
others of its class. The extent to
which community is lighted at night.
especially in its business district. has
come to be measure OF its enter
prise and prosperity. Every step II
the direction of better lighting is an
attestation of public-spiritedness and
progress and presumptive evidence
tnat the CITY is forging ahead as RAPID
" as its rivals
Brilliant illumination of business
streets is not all outgo and no income.
It is valuable form of advertising
appreciated by home people and visit
ors alike. It brings returns in public
appreciation OF the enterprise OF the
business community and in a larger
volume of trade There are nine blocks
between Third and Main and Twelfth
and Main. Who will move first in this
important matter-the merchants in
the 800, the 400, the 500, the 500, the
100, the 800, the 900. the 1000 or the
100 block? The Gate City is prepar-
ed to print their names in capital let
tiers in black-face type and commend
them as cordially as it knows how. It
is up to the merchants on Main street
to decide for themselves which OF
them snail have the honor of leading
the movement for brighter and more
beautiful Keokuk.

A GOOD cpEER SOCIETY

young lady in New York. Miss
Theora Carter by name. recently con.
ceived the idea of organizing society
OF Good Cheer, to be composed of
young ladies WHO would devote
portion OF their time to heIpfulness
and the promotion of cheerfulness
among those in need of such ministra-
tons. In line with her ideas
such society has been organized by a
group of young women in that CITY
under the law of New York. Tie
earnest young workers composing
its membership aim to cheer
the sick and especially the con-
yalescent, 10 give a touch OF JOY
to those lives that have been
brought low through sickness, to find
the stranger within the gates who
may be very much In need of cheer
and TO promulgate ann promote cheer
fuiness among all classes Of people.
For some time they have made ii
part of their every day life TO visit
boarding houses. hotels, hospitals and
private residences where the sick were
eonyalescent and By distributing
flowers. books, magazines and good
cheer. have assisted many people back
TO rugged health and real life.
Miss Carter. the founder OF the
society and leading spirit among these
young ladies'. became sick while at
tending postgraduate classes In Chi
cago and mapped out the work Of the
society while conYalescing. She is
now devoting her ample income and
time TO tle society and has inspired
such spirit of cheer among her young
associates in New York that many
have joined in the work MANY

Supreme Court Sharply Divided on

for the supreme court in the Des
Moines case wherein Mrs. Bell. col
ored woman, appealed to the civil
rights statute, became not only diyid-

ton must be called to the division.
The woman had been denied cup Of

court held, opinion by Deemer, that

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

In a recent editorial article on the
spread of the new idea'' In municip-
al government the Boston Herald says
that municipal administration must be
a local problem, to be determined in
view Of local conditions, but the
spread of the new idea in municipal
administration can not be ignored by
any city which is struggling to relieve
itself of the incubus of inefficient and
wasteful administration Details In
the application of this new idea vary
under different local conditions, but
three fundamental principles are rec
ognized in each instance and are es-
sential in what is so commonly known
as the commission plan of govern
ment. These fundamental principles
are defined as follows:
First is the simplification of the
municipal organizations, which serves
the double purpose of aiding intella
gent selection by the voting and of
avoiding the confusion of official pow
Ter and responsibility Second is the
unification of the city into a single
voting body, emphasizing the COM
munity of interest of the whole city
instead of the diverrity of interests
lof the various wards, and, moreover,
establishing single line of RESPONSE
bility in place of the double, and some
times triple. lines which characterize
municipal administration under the
old forms. The third essential is the
elimination of partisan politics and
the recognition of the citizen as a
stakeholder. in the municipal corpora
ton.
