Congressman Kennedy.

Keosauqua Republican: Congress
man Kennedy is at his Montrose home
again enjoying we'll earned rest fol
lowing his arduous service in the last
session of congress. He returned
stronger with the people Of the First
district than he has ever been. Mr..
Kennedy is worker. He makes him
self essentially the servant OF his con-
stituents. No request from citizen
of the district is unheeded and no let
ter unanswered, and this observance
is a big work within itself Another
thing, and it is very essential too in
an official, is that he is of clean char
acter, free from habits that deserve
criticism, strictly honest and loyal tc
his party. The people like him ant
all indications are that he will be re
turned TO congress by an increased
majority over what he received at an!
of his previous elections.

iowa,s PER CAPITA FIRE LOSS.

Estimates from reports received by
the Iowa state insurance department
show that the per capita fire loss in
Iowa last year is slightly above that
of Minnesota, the only state which
has as vet produced figures to show
the per capita fire loss. The Iowa fig-
ures are far and above anything in
Europe. In fact, practically every
state in the union has always had
much higher per capita fire losses
than the European countries.
The IRE loss per capita in Iowa, es-
tiuatsd. is 1915. In Minnesota it is
reports6 10 be 50. while the average
for European countries Is only 80
cents. italy had a per capita fire loss
for last year OF only IL cents
The sgnres thus presented to the
insurance department have brought
with them interesting questions as TO
whv the per capita losses in the
United states should be so much
more than in the European countries.
Two causes at once suggest them
selves. Buildings as a rule are OF
flimsier construction and of more in
flammable material in this country
than in Europe, for one thing. Sec
ondIy, fire is used more extensively
and recklessly here than there. Even
in the north of Europe, Sweden, for
instance, comfort is obtained In the
seyerest weather through the con-
sumption of much less fuel than in
Iowa and other states of the Union.
The houses abroad are of Better con-
struction and the small amount OF
heat generated is more carefully con-
served than here. Neglect of ordinary
precautions is the most prolific cause
Of the great fire loss in the United
States. If proper care We're exercised
the losses from this cause would be
greatly reduced. The people OF Iowa
and of this country generally have
only themselves to blame for the ap-
palling waste of which they complain.

END OF STEAMBOATS, IN SIGHT.
Capt. William Leyhe Says Deep Chan
mel viii Not Revive Trade.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
usefulness of the mississippi river
from the viewpoint of the steamboat
is at an end. according to Capt. VIM.
Leyhe, president of the Eagle Packet
company. Captain Leyhe, after hear
ing of the wreck of the steamer Cape
Girardeau, owned by the company OF
which he is president, declared that
the few remaining steamboats, were
fast disappearing. and that the steam
boat trade was absolutely doomed.
He believes there will not be another
steamboat left on the Mississippi riy-
er within another twenty-five years.
THE last big river steamer, the Al
ton," declared Captain Leyhe yester-
day, was built about three years ago,
and as l know of no big boats being
built at present, it would be safe to
assert the Alton will be the last of the
steamboat race"
Captain Leyhe said the railroads
were driving the boats off the river,
owing to the quickness of freight and
passenger delivery by them.
He said the railroads could deliver
freight much more expeditiously than
the steamboats, and at satisfactory
rates. Captain Leyhe thinks the riv.
er will never be useful any more from
a commercial viewpoint. He said he
did not believe the river trade of old
times would be revived, even II n
fourteen foot channel were built. He
thinks the river will be used only for
small pleasure boats and as a big
drainage canal.
