MAYOR WHO WILL
MANAGE CORRECTLY
w. X. Hodge Expresses His Opinion
in Speaking Of the Kind of May
or keokuk Must Have.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
We need men for mayor and com.
missioners who will lose sight of self
in the attempt to build UP the city,
who will obscure self in the pursuit
of service, who are willing to sacrifice
a little time and little money in the
upbuilding of Keokuk. Men who are
determined to serve the tax payer,
the renter and the common people in
the face of all obstacles. Such men
are scarce Such men are rare. What
We want is a square deal, little re.
duction in. the rate of taxation in
place of continued increase. little
inducement for outsiders to come here
and settle, systematic business-like
administration OF city affairs.
What We need is mayor who will
manage the city's affairs with as
great aggressiveness as PA" Belt
puts into the baseball or Mr.. rrhart
puts into the shoe factory
Justice, economy and honesty at
all hazards, regardless of politics or

ing to their computation, it was likely
to be. but we didn't get any results.
What can say of the new dis
covery? the professor continued.
Well, thing has happened that has
happened often before. An intensive
study of certain portion of the sky
is made, and the result is the observa-
ton OF comet which might. in ordi-
nary circumstances, have been over
looked. If Professor Pidoux hadn't
been watching Halleys comet pretty
closely it is doubt III if he would have
seen the new comet"
In other words" the suggestion
was made, "a comet is likely to be
discovered in any part of the sky. pro.

To Sign the Petitions.

Copies of these petitions have been
left at the three banking institutions
of the city, where those who are in
favor of having the North road arriv-
ing and leaving time remain the same
as it is at present, may Sign them.
As it is now. the North road train
arrives in Keokuk each day at 1880
and remains here until $3.50 in the
afternoon, giving those along the line
ample time to come to the city, to
transact court or commercial business
and return to their homes at a reason
able hour.
With the schedule reversed. one
train left keokuk in the morning at
about { o'clock for the other end of
the line, and returned al T:15 in the
evening, benefiting neither Keokuk
merchants or those at any of the other
Intervening places enroute.
