Cedar Rapids Republican: One OF
the questions that may come before
the next legislature has to do with the
conservation OF pure water In our
rivers. We have only q few rivers,
but we think so little Of them that
we use them for sewers and then we
drink the water out OF the sewers in
the faith that the sunshine has puri-
fed #. It is a low stage of civiliza-
ton and sanitation that permits the
pollution Of the rivers. They ought to
be kept pure. No city ought to be al
lowed to run its sewage into such
streams. Sewage, 1t has been shown,
can be cared for in other ways.
This paper has long believed In the
conservation Of the waters of the
state and the water courses For
years It nag been advocating legisla-
ton to that end and the effective po-

Pastors with SQUARES on Them.

Clinton Herald: 1t seems tina,
pastors containing the names Of pro-
posed delegates to county convention
and containing squares on them We're
used in several places in the primary
election last week. And everywhere
the legality of the ballots has been
questioned In the Herald today ap-
pears the opinions of number of the
attorneys of the city in relation to
the matter In nearly every instance
they express the opinion that pastors
with squares printed on them are
contrary to the spirit and letter of
the law and 1t Is very doubtful
whether such ballots can be legally
counted. The printing of names of
proposed delegates with squares OPP
posite the names destroys the object
of the Australian ballot system one OF
the cardinal principles of which is
TO obtain absolute secrecy in voting.
With pastors containing squares 1t
Is possible for the voter to mark a
portion of his ballot on the street
at his home or wherever he sees fit
Not only this, but it makes it pos
sible for another other than the
person voting to mark portion OF
the ballot If this is permissible
with regard to delegates to county
conventions, then 1t would be just az
permissible to pursue a like course
in voting for any one else before the
people.

a Marvellous Work.

Waterloo Courier: The dam across
the Mississippi at the foot of the
rapids above Keokuk will be the great
est engineering feat, in the history
OF the middle west and the largest
dam in the world with the single ex-
ception OF the monster dam across the
Nile at Assoasm, Egypt. This Mis-
sissipni dam win be 400 feet long.
The spillway section will be 400 feet
in length. One hundred and sixteen
electrical food gates will be placed
upon the top OF the spillway. thirty
feet wide and eleven feet high, sup
ported by concrete piers. The base of
the dam will have width of forty
three feet and the dam will rise thir-
ty-seven feet above the riverbed. The
dam will be built of reinforced con-
crete and 100000 barrels of cement
and 1000 tons of steel will be reQuir-
ed in the construction of this great
work. The flood gates will be operat-
ed by electric hoists, through the
manipulation Of which the water
above the dam will be maintained at
a constant level at all seasons.
The stored energy of the river is
to be used in generating over 100000
electrical horsepower. which will be
distributed throughout the middle
west. The first transmission line
will run south to st. Louis, 10
miles. Forty per cent of the power
is now under contract. This wonder
full structure is in keeping with the
Titanic energy of the age, which rises
above all obstacles in its hunger anc
thirst for power. wealth and infiu
ence. 1t is fortunate fact that the
blessings which flow from this en-
ergy, applied to the accomplishment
of enterprises of this kind, are shar
ed by all the people.

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS VIEWS.

In Chicago yesterday w. c.. Brown,
president of the New York Central,
expressed number of ideas at direct
variance with those of James ]. Hill.
Views of the regulation of railways
by the United States government OPP
posed to those held by the transporta-
ton magnate of the northwest were
expressed by Mr.. Brown. Many rail
road critics maintain that Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Hill are representative of the
east and west respectively and that
the difference in their attitude reflects
much of the sentiment in the two sec
tions of the country toward questions
of the day.
President Brown, although he la
and the probability of its passage, is
/ not fearful of the effects it may have
! on either the eastern or the western
I lines. He asserts his faith in the hon
I esty of the interstate commerce com
mission and his belief that the main
tainance of low tariffs by govern
mental rulings would not result in
the practical confscation of roads
that Mr. Hill intimated might occur
in case OF continued aggression by
the commission.
Mr.. Brown is sanguine, also, in con-
sidering the possibility of another
period Of congestion that Mr.. Hill
prophesied the traffic Of the country
may meet with this winter. He an
nounced the ability Of the, New York
!, Central lines to take care of all the
traffic that may be given to them this
y winter, no matter how large a crop
5 Of grain may be moving from the
b west.
At about the same time Daniel
: Willard, formerly of the Burlington
!, now president Of the Baltimore &
i Ohio, expressed himself freely al a
conference of the company's officials
n at Deer Park. Md Mr.. Willard pre
e. dicted that government ownership q

There Should be Freedom and Toier-
ance


Galesburg Republican Register:
There should be freedom within the
Republican party although within
limits consistent with the principles of
the party Such men as Deliver,
Cummins, Beyeridge and others should
not be called renegades and traitors
because they do not agree with some
of their fellow Republicans in congress
on certain issues, nor should they in
turn attempt to punish those who do
not agree with them.
The majority of the Republican
senators and nearly all the Republi-
can congressman voted for tariff
bill, and it is now the law. 1t is pre-
sumed that they voted their conyic-
lions. In Iowa for instance several
Republican congressman supported
the bill in the house. Senators Cum
minis and Dolliver opposed the meas
ure in the senate The governor of
Iowa took the same view of the bill
as President Taft and aligned him
self with Republican administration.
The two Iowa senators and more
particularly Cummins thereupon took
| it on themselves to participate In
| fights against Iowa Republican mem
bers, who were aligned with the Pres
ident on the tariff issue. They want.
ed liberty of action in congress for
themselves but proposed to fight fell
/ low Republicans who had differed
with them and to punish them with
defeat
They even took part in the cam
| paign and used their prestige and
their influence to defeat four mem
bers of congress and the governor
i They held these men up as enemies
b of the people and as the tools Of
special interests.
| They did succeed in defeating one
man. but they lost the governorshil
and the other three congressman.
They invited retaliation, simply be
cause they would not allow liberty 0
opinion within the party.
Senator Dolliver now says that h.
proposes to fight with and for the Re
publican party and that he will not b.
driven out. Surely no one desires t
eject him; only it seems that he di
rot treat very fairly candidates VIII
differ with him respecting the tart
measure
The test now of his loyalty will b
, his support of the governor and tn
candidates who were successful a
the primaries.
The Iowa administration me
showed more liberation than di
Cummins or Dolliyer. They did nc
. enter the districts of those called II
surgents and put up candidate
: against them. The insurgents wer
given a free field.
; Now let us have little more to
Grafton on the part OF the so-calle
insurgent senators and perhaps the1
can be peace in the family again.

i same freedom that they ask ft

ST. PETERS SCHOOL COMMENCE
MENT.

The writer attended the commence
ment exercises of st. Peters high
school yesterday afternoon and was
interested and edited by what he saw
and heard as were all present. The
audience was large and appreciative
one and the class acquitted itself
handsomely throughout. The orations
and ESSAYS, printed in yesterdays
Gate City. speak for themselves. One
and all were on a high plane OF
thought and were effectively and
pleasingly delivered. Too much can
not be said in praise of the thorough
ness which marked every detail. There
was no interruption of continuity of
thought in any of the productions,
and the orators and essayists spoke
with degree of ease and confidence
possible only to those who have been
properly drilled. Next to the admira-
ton one must feel for literary and
one is most deeply impressed by the
thought of the infinite pains and pa
tience of which it is the result. Sucn
affairs are not gotten UP on the spur
of the moment. They represent
months and years of earnest, consist
ent and persistent endeavor on the
part of both teachers and pupils and
are in themselves fine preparation for
the duties of active and successful
life. Judged by this standard the
graduates OF st. Peters are splen-
didly equipped for the work that is
before them in the world at large
which they are now about to enter.
st. Peters school owes its origin
and continued existence to the deep
religious convictions, noble self-sac-
rifices and unselfish efforts of the
late Father Thomas O'Reilly of bless,
ed memory. He founded it and built
it up at no small expenditure of his
individual means and strength. From
the first he emphasized the value OF
character and made the school a
potent means in its upbuilding. As
the institution stands today it is a fit
ting monument to the memory of one
whose, life was patterned closely after
that of the Master and whose in
fiuence for good in this community
cannot be overestimated st. Peters
school and the late Father O'Reilly
are indissolubly linked in history and
| in the hearts of all their many friends
| Father Gillespie. the present pastor
| has been in charge of st. Peters par
ish and school less than a year, but
he has already demonstrated that he
is a worthy successor of the sanity
man all Keokuk respected SO highly
and loved SO we'll. In brief talk tc
the graduates and audience YESTERDAY
afternoon he made it clear that he i:
| animated by the same high ideals ant
lofty purposes as his predecessor ant
l that he has consecrated himself to tn,
work in hand. The community in gen
eral and st. Peters parish in particu
lar are to be congratulated upon ths
acquisition of one SO worthy and wei
qualified to continue the good work.
