Julius Eichhorn of Fort Madison is
the Republican nominee for sheriff
He is a capable and worthy gentle
man and possesses the qualities de
sirable in a peace officer, to-wit:
good judgment, GOODNESS and courage
Mr.. Eichhorn is master of himself
and will neither boil over at patty
pan depth nor do anything rash, for
which either he or those who elected
him would have occasion to be sor-
ry afterward. Those who know him
best are unqualified in their endorse
ment of him for the office for which
he is candidate. AS his acquaintance
throughout the county widens his
strength increases, and it is already
very evident that he is personally popu-
lar and that his candidacy is likely to
be crowned with success. Prospects
for electing Republican sheriff
were never brighter than they are
this fall.

MORE PRAISE FOR kEoKuk.

In an article in The Gate City yes
terday brief reference was made to
the cohesiveness of Keokuk and the
spirit of unity in which it undertakes
every good work Individual selfish
ness is lost in communal selishness
and all work harmoniously together
for the attainment of common end.
This is known far and wide as the
Keokuk way, and a very good way it
is, as other communities are frank to
admit The latest acknowledgement
of its existence and value comes from
Burlington through the columns of
the Hawk-Eye, which is entirely free
from petty jealousy on any account or
i littleness of any kind In speaking

There were 127 teachers who were
retired from the schools during the
past year in Boston, and in making
the report the secretary said that
one-third of the whole number was
suffering from neurasthenia or ner-
vous breakdown. Only eighteen were
retired on account of age and service.
In his report the secretary quotes the
late President Harper of Chicago, as
saying that the number of physical
wrecks furnished by the teaching pro-
fession is certainly larger in proper
ton than that of any other calling
in life. In no other work can it be so
truly said that the toiler gives forth
his own strength to the one for
whom he tolls

The Republicans of Lee county
have a strong and worthy ticket this
year and should do all in their power
to elect it. Every candidate was fairly
nominated and all of them deserve &C
tive and earnest support. Fractional
alignments were ignored in its make
up and have no place in the CAM
paign. With the right kind of work
between now and election day II
ought to be possible to elect most, II
not all, of the nominees.

Theaverage yield of potatoes through
out the United States is only IS
bushels, but yields of 200 and 300
bushels are not uncommon. One yield
of 665 bushels per acre is reported.
However, this is a sorry showing at
best is compared with the success
attained elsewhere In potato rails
ing. In England farmers reach l.
600 bushels of potatoes per acre, and
in Belgium as high as 1,600 bushels
is the record 1t is evident that our
American farmers have something to
learn in the matter of potato produc-
ton from the English and the Dutch.

Senator A. B. Cummins, in company
with Congressman Haugen OF the

campaign on behalf of the Republican
ticket of Iowa at Usage Thursday
night. October 49, He speaks the
next night at 0elwein and then goes
to Indiana for a ten days stumping

Preceding his speech at Usage he
makes a talk to the state dairymen at

non-political. When he returns from
Indiana he will make other speeches

KEEP UP THE WRESTLING.
Keep up the whist.ing and cling to
the scng;
Life is so short, but love lasteth long.
Dark though the wood be
And weary the way;
Keep up the whistling
Till love leads today.
Hard though the struggle and bitter
the blow,
Love helps the toll If you sing as
you go.
Sing on and whistle,
Fear not and trust;
The green hills are sweet
And the rain lays the dust
Pa
Keep up the whistling and don't mind
the night;
The song leads the way to the loved
lips of light,
The old dreaded conflict,
The sorrows, the cares,
They flee at the footstep
OF song on the stairs.
The song of the wayside-a rose by
the gate,
She leans in the twilight to wait for
you, wait.
Keep up the whistling,
And cling to the song;
Wild hearts learn to suffer
And life to be strong
Baltimore Sun.

GETTING READY
TO CONE HOME
Farewell Reception to Colonel Roose-
welt was Given in London
with Brilliant Array
of Guests.
TWO QUIET AFFAIRS
On Account of Ensland's Mourning,
Not Much Show of Display
was Made at the
Functions.

LONDON, June o. Dorcester
house, the residence of Whitelaw Reid,
American ambassador, was the scene
of two functions in the honor Of Mr..
and Mrs. Roosevelt, a reception was
~iven in the afternoon to the members
of the Pilgrims and American societies
and farewell dinner last night. Both
were quiet affairs, on account of he
court being in mourning and also Mr..
and Mrs. Reid, in mourning for the
late Ogden Mills. Several hundred
attended the dinner, including the
most prominent members of the Amer
lean colony, Archbishop of Canter-
bury, Sir Edward Grey, foreign Sec
retary, Duke of Portland, Lord Cur
zon of Kedleston, Right Rev. Charles
Henry Brent, American bishop of the
Episcopal church in the Philippines,
and Lord Alverstone.
At reception at Col Arthur Lees
Roosevelt met the Earl of Sey-
bourne, the governor of Transvaal,
and David LloydGeorge, chancellor
of the exchequer Others present were
Sir Horace Plunkltt, department of
agriculture, In Ireland, Sir Alfred
Pease, and w. w. Jacobc, Ms-scr, in
vited on Roosevelt's special request.
Roosevelt will spend his last day
in England in the country Hundreds
of letters commenting on his Guild
hall speech are pourning in. A great
majority are laudatory, but some are
abusive.
Newspaper clippings reached the
former president referring to politi-
cal Importance attached to the dinner
which Robert Collier will give to
Roosevelt on his return. Roosevelt
called attention to the fact that this
engagement was made when he lunch
ed with Collier before starting for
Africa, and said no political signif-
canoe can be attached to 1t.
There will be no keynote speech by
Col. Roosevelt to open the next con
gressional campaign as planned by
the men in control of the League OF
republican clubs. The annual con
vention of that organization will be
held in New York next month. It
will have to get along without the in.
spiration of the former president.
Not only that, but the story that he
has planned speaking tour which
will carry him from New York west
ward as far as the Rockies and south
to Texas. is not founded on facts.
He has made no plans for political
speeches. nor will he until he reaches
his home at Oyster Bay.
Col. Roosevelt will sail from South
Hampton to the United States tomor'
row. A special train will take him
from London and a special tender will
convey him to the ship.

inspired by desire to perpetuate our
party as a political organization, de-
clare that we adhere to the principles
of the party as outlined in the plat
form adopted in 1908"
The resolutions endorse the Taft ad-
ministration but do not condemn by
name LaFollette and other insurgents.
Gathered in the convention were a
number of former adherents Of United
States Senator R. M. LaFollette, not
ably among whom were former Cover
nor William d. Hoard and William D.
Conner.
Mr.. Hoard made a few remarks In
which he pleaded with the delegates
to have faith in the great republican
party and in the honesty, ability and
craftsmanship of our leader, Fresi-
dent Taft. Any man who believes for
moment that President Taft is a
tool for the so-called vested inter
ests," he said, finds the answer In
the late injunction against the rail-
roads which Is evidence that the pres
/ ident is for square deal" Mr.. Con
ner said that there would be progress
4 if the republican rules. Every great
achievement, every great improve
ment which has brought results, has
been an accomplishment of the repub
/ lican party" he said.
/ The leading address of the conven.
tion was that by Vice President Sher
man at mass meeting at the audi
1 torium last night when he urged party
regularity upon his hearers and re
hearsed the history of the party.

noon with the election of former state
! republican leader w. G. Conner, as
/ chairman of the new state committee

who engineered the campaign which
put La Toilette in the governors
chair, but he is now known to be al

to devise means to defeat La Toilette
and his followers this fall the sena
