Indiana State Teachers association

Education is not information

against work. The whole spirit is

There is, too, moral eIement in

EpI.omIzes the Whole Question.

This Keokuk dam, the right to
build which rests on Ave separate acts
of congress, each passed unanimously
holds an epitome of the whole ques.
ton OF conservation OF water powers
And showing as It does the immense
local benefits, 1t seems to remove the
question from national interest. As
long as there is human nature In
folks, the state and community get
ting the great benefits are going to
take them and tell the other states
to go hang.
BY the way, that is the way the
country west of the Mississippi river
was changed from wilderness to an
empire in half a century-and while
the railroads required city and coun
ty bond issues, the water power PEG
pie asked not a cent--and actually
paid back to Keokuk and Hamilton
several thousand dollars these cities
had spent promoting the protSct.
