President Taft supports this propo-

The doctrine of state rights. shot 10
pieces IN lS6l.65. is reyiving in Wash
ington. Privilege and monopoly find
the federal government harder TO
handle every day. even during a
friendly administration. The public
has grown too wise 10 what goes on
in Washington. and pays too close at
tention.
BUT THE PUBLIC is STILL
CARELESS IN IT'S BUSINESS OF
STATE GOVERNMENT. State gov

as II grows harder TO handle the big

1t Large Chorus is to be Had, Active

ing.
MUSIC is A LUXURY
An Orchestra and Chorus Would be
Beneficial to This City in
Many Ways, it is
Said.
MUSIC IS A LUXURY

1t is difficult to estimate the adj
vantages that any project of the ma
ture and size of that contemplated
by the Monday Music Club In the
300 Chorus, brings to a city the
size of Keokuk.
There is a profit in dollars and
cents that any practical minded per-
son might reckon, but there is much
that is beyond all estimate.
Music is a luxury that has become
a necessity, but 1t is an expensive
one. Such a chorus as contemplated
can only be made possible by con.
certed effort and If the work present
ed is to be given in first-class man
ner in all particulars, the undertake
ing must have good financial support
to start with. To secure four good
artists, an orchestra and man of
all, can not be done without some
guarantee. To be sure we can do with
out it, or with an inferior presenta-
ton, but If we want something worth
while we can have it and at small
cost to the individual. Usually the
Music Club has been able to present
but one first-class artist at a time,
and the price of admission, which has
always been made as low as possible,
has been 75c or dollar for single
concert. With backing such as 800
members would guarantee it would
be able to present four artists of I'M
doubted ability, an orchestra and a
chorus under one of the best direc-
tors in the west In addition to this
it offers membership in the Music
Club (Which gives fifteen programs
during the year, and also fifteen re-
hearsals under Dean Bentley.
New names are being added to the
organization although the commit
tee has not yet begun an active can
vass. This will soon be commenced
and carried to a whirlwind conclu-
sion. The committee in charge is:
Miss Martha P. Baldwin, Chairman,
Miss Elizabeth G. WINS, Miss Jane

resorted to by the machine forces to

having duly complied with all the
rules of the party, feel the right to
ask all republicans for their support
I have been a member of the republi-

past five years and lifelong repub-
lican. and have never held any public
office. | have been indorsed by the
regular republican organization and II
elected to said office l will endeavor
to fill it with credit to myself and the
republican party.
The people of the 41st precinct well
know the treatment | received at the
last precinct election, the old soap
box method being used, and not one
of, my representatives being allowed
to see the ballots counted. There was
no show of anyone being elected but

Tulley who is also holding a political
position as bailiff in the municipal
court and also has had the contract
for shoeing the police and fire depart
