WATER POWER is ASSURED.

The Stockport Cyclone says in its
latest issue:
THE work on the great dam at
Keokuk is well under way. 1t will
surely go. When we say that it is
but mildly. 1t is not at all improb-
able that the FIT. Madison & Ottumwa
branch of the Burlington will in the
not very distant future become an
interurban, getting it's power from
keokuk. 1t goes without question
that we would then have superior
train service, Sunday trains and Sim
day mail. Can You imagine it all?"
The building of the big dam and
the development here of anywhere
from 10000 to 240 goo horsepower of
electrical energy may be set down as
an assured certainty. The project has
been successfully financed and the
next three months will witness note
worthy activity and progress in the
work of construction. BY the terms
| OF the Keokuk and Hamilton contract
with the waterpower company not
more than one-third of the power de-
PSo eoii W Aiti hetSu eiSe"uele'
The remainder must be reserved for
use here This assures that there
will be plenty of power for interur-
bans, factories, municipal lighting and
other purposes. The Gate City has
hitherto contented itself for the most
part with reporting developments as
they occurred. 1t is now IN position
to say that the power will be devel-
oped within the next two years beyond
all question or room for doubt If
there are any who are still dubious
about it they have only to wait a
short time to have their fears and
doubts dispelled. Nothing short of a
cataclysm can prevent the consum-
nation of the great project.

Alex Miller of the Washington
Qowa) Democrat is going to speak
before the Press club of Des Moines
on October 20 and tell the city boys
how a country editor works. There
Is no one in the country who knows
more about the subject than MIR. Mill
Ter or who can talk more entertain
ingly concerning it. He is au fait on
everything pertaining to work on a
country newspaper and is possessed
of an inimitable style that is the de-
light of all who hear him. The Des
Moines Press club is to be congratu-
lated upon having secured him as an
attraction.

PROHIBITION DOESN'T PROHIBIT

Galesburg is supposed to be a dry
town. and yet vagrant blind man
was found in that city the other day
so helplessly drunk that he did not
know his name, and complained that
he had been robbed of some money,
his hat and coat. The incident
moves an inquisitive citizen of the
place to PROFOUND this question to one
of the local papers:
IF blind stranger who has lost
both eyes is able to get drink in
Galesburg, dry town. in large
enough quantities to make him
speeches. and paralytically drunk.
how hard would it be for a man with
two good eyes to get all the booze he
wants, all the time, in Galesburg, a
dry town?"
The inquiry answers itself, and the
circumstance that prompted it is
further proof of the fact that as a
practical temperance measure pro.
hibition is a fat failure. me
only way to stop the sale
of liquor is to stop the de.
mand. and this can be done only by
reforming the individual. Teach the
children to abstain from liquor and
in few years the drink problem will
solve itself In the case of some OF
them 1t would be a good idea to be
gin with their fathers and grand
fathers.

these questions rolled into one have
been answered in the negative by a
Methodist church at Crestwood, KY
This church has asked it's minister to
seek another field because he Joined
the local nine and put up a fine
game. The vote was not a solid one.
The muscular clergyman had some
friends, but not enough of them to
hold him. It is of record that sim

those who like it. But the minister

likely to draw men and women who

Congressman Tawney of the First
Minnesota district, who was defeated
at the primary for denomination, has
been analyzing the returns and finds
that Anderson, the insurgent candi-
date. was not nominated by Republi-
can votes, but by Democratic votes.
Based on former elections he further
finds that if none but Republicans had
voted the Republican ticket he would
have been nominated by majority
Of almost 1900 MI. Tawney's case
is not an isolated one. Congressman
Hull in this state was defeated in the
same way AS means of enabling
Democrats to dictate Republican nom
nations the modern primary election
arrangement has never been eaualled
much less surpassed.

THE BIBLE AND THE BLOOD.
love to hear the story of the mighty
men of old,
The martyrs and the heroes of the
land;
love to see the vision of their deeds
of valor rolled
The men who built the world win
horny hand.
Their sacrifice was noble and they
built for other times,
Beyond their own hopes sweeping
in a food;
But best of all's the lesson that
around their story chimes
They had the Holy Bible in the
blood.
They hewed and fought and wrestled
with the forces of the wrong,
They stood four-square to every
wind that blew;
They prayed and hoped and trusted
and they labored with song
Till twilight from the mornings
early dew.
tive renown,
With spirit stern as manhood in the
bud;
And here arose steeple and beyond
it rose town
Because they had the Bible in the
blood!
We hear of them so often, those
mighty men who lived
In times that tried mems natures
to the deep;
The gray, antique forefathers of the
village and tue plain
Who meath the messy marbles
calmly sleep,
They seem to us SO stalwart in their
sense of ali that's right.
So reyerent of the humblest
thing, the mud,
The lily and the temple from the hand
that made the light,
These men that had the Bible in
the blood!
We hear today the trumpets of the
men who want to lead,
We read their speech and sermon,
and we think again of those
The stalwart, old-time builders and
the doors of the deed
From which today the nations
spirit grows
We have the hardy fighters and the
rough and ready men,
The slammers and the knockers
quite food;
But what we need, my brothers, is the
coming back again
OF those who have the Bible in the
blood!
