A LESSON FROM FRANCE.

Continually we are going to the old
world for lessons in fashions in pol
icy as well as in clothes.
Pertinent is a report from Paris
following the slow recession Of the
raging Seine.
It. is to the effect that the bridges
along that boiling body Of water
have, one and all, resisted the impact
Of the food, standing immovable, re-
gardless Of the force and persistence
Of the creeping waters.
French engineers do not build for
day.
They build, as nearly as possible,
for all time.
Like the ancient Romans with the
famous Appian Way, they bear in
mind those that come after and con-
struct for them as well as for the
geigning generation.
This lesson we have yet to learn
in its eventual significance and ap-
pication in America.
The more sensible Of US refuse to
fbuy shoddy clothes, seeing in them a
Z: ruinous economy.
: But until recently the most sens
ible Of Us have been willing to let
municipalities and states build finn
SLY our public structures, guided py
costly ideas Of economy.
To-day we begin to think Of those
that come after.-Atlanta Constitu-
tion.
This is a good lesson, but like all
good lessons it is a mighty hard one
to impress upon those who most need
to learn it and who would receive the
most benefit from it. Every year
we see where county after county
has to make special provision to re-
place bridges washed away by high
water. Of course, if they had been.
built as they should there would
! have been no occasion fos such leg
islation, or the extraordinary ex-
penditure OF money. Ara the high
4 waters We have in this country are
scarcely April showers compared to
the floods they have had in France
recently yet ''the bridges along that
boiling, body Of water have, one and
alL resisted the impact Of the food,
standing imnovable, regardless of
the force of the creeping waters"
It is economy to build such struc-
lures. It costs little more in the
beginning but the satisfaction of
knowing the strength Of the struc-
lures regardless of other considera-
tions repays the outlay fourfoll.
The same is true of the building
of public roads and streets and
sidewalks even though you leave some
of the cost to your children. !
Let us learn this lesson from France
and learn it Wei.

THE EDITORS CHANCE.

It is so rare that the editor of
country newspaper has chance that
even the suggestion Of one appeals
to US. It is pleasant to print and to
read anything that suggests he mlgat
be given credit for something. There
are many people who think the coun-
try editor should pitch into any ans:
everything that they think needs COL
rection and if he fails to do what
they think he should do then tley are
ready to jump on him., And when
he does what these kiekers suggest
then Of course he must bear the GEN.
sure which is sure to come.
We have never complained only at
our own lack Of good sense and have
borne our share Of the cussins. And
it has been a pleasure to US to hear
of it when we feel that it was be-
slowed for something we had done or
said that we knew was for the good
Of the community. The MAJ who
moves along without striking some
rough places must be a negative
force. He does not amoun5 to much.
He may be a good fellow but he ney-
er does much to benefit his fellow
man. The man who does things in
this world may expect to fine oppo-
sition and many times from those
who are the benefciaries of his ef-
forts.
But this is somewhat oft the sub
ject. We want to print a 'itEle poem
we read some time ago which was
credited to the Grand, Rapids Press
giving a slight insight into the coun-
try editors life. It follows:
The editor sat in his Office chair,
Rubbing his pate all void Of hair,
Reading his paper with istless air,
Scanning a want ad appearing there.
A want ad that read like this:
"Wanted-A man who will Work all
day,
And work all night at a small boys
pay.
One who is tranquil amid the fray,
Patient and humble in every way
When anything goes amjss.
"Must have a broad and a learned
mind,
Must bear the troubles Of all man
kind.
Must smile and like it whe1 he's
maigned,
Must spend his life in a ceaseless
grind,
And then be laid on the shelf"
The editor said: s'That looks good
to me. ....
Compared to my job, it's snap"
said he.
Fright here is a chance to be glad
and ree.''
And he sighed as he turned the sane
forum key:
x S'I'n get that job myself"
The only reward the country edi-
tor gets is the consciousness Of hay-
ing done those things he believes TO
be for the best Of the community If
which his life is spent. He may e4-
pect to be abused and maligned and
mainly by those for whom he has
done the most and sacrificed the most.

Miss Florence Brinkman Gives Reel
tai in Chicago.

Miss Florence Brinkman Gives Reel
tai in Chicago.
Keokuk was brought into promi-
hence in one of our large cities last
Wednesday, December 14th, for on
that day Miss Florence Brinkman
made her debut in musical circles of
Chicago.
Musical critics, (among them the
Worlds best musicians) pronounced
the recital given at the Chicago Must
cal College by Miss Brinkman, as one
of the best ever given there by a
young player. They declared that
Miss Brinkmans work is far above
the average and that she is among
the finest of Chicago musicians.
Miss Brinkman has been fortunate
in her choice of teachers. After her
graduation from the Keokuk High
school she entered the Chicago Musi-
cal College. and for four years her
education there has been under the
direction of Hans Won Schiller. Adolf
Bruno and Felix Borowski. This year
she is studying with Paul Stoye, who
joined the faculty of the college last
September. Mr.. Stoye in the short
time he has been in America has
more than made good the reputation
of artist, composer and teacher which
preceded him from the greatest must
cal centers of Europe.
Miss Brinkman's program consisted
of some well known masterpieces.
The "Chromatic Fantastic by Bach,
was played, according to critics, with
the true Interpretation brilliant tech
nique, and a keen musical insight SO
necessary in the works of this great
master.
In the four years that Miss Brink
man has been in Chicago she has
made rapid strides in the world of
music. The secret of her success lies
in the fact that while endowed with
unusual ability from her earliest years
she never lost sight of the fact that
to be great musician one must work,
and not be merely content to rest on
ones laurels, but move rapidly for
ward in spite of the fact that great
things have been achieved in the
past. And the result has been very
great. Indeed beyond her fondest
dreams of success. She is now rank
ed in Chicago musical circles as a
pianist who possesses a brilliant
technique, beautiful tone. and a
practical understanding of everything
she plays.
Her program was a very pleasing
and difficulty one throughout, con-
sisting of all works by the great
masters. It was as follows:
Chromatic Fantaisie-Bach.
Romanze--Op. lis in f Major
Brahms.
Ballade-op. %, No. in f Major
--Schumann.
Novelette-op q. No. in E Ma
jor-Schumann

Miss Brinknan will spend the holt
days in Keokuk and it may be the
good fortune of Keokuk music lovers
to hear her in recital.

New Ruling on
Placer Claims

Mining circles are very much in
terested in a decision reported to
have been rendered a snort time age
by the Department of the Interior at
Washington, which decision has been
affirmed by the Secretary of the In
terror. This decision, as near as can
be gathered, is in effect that in secur-
ing a patent on all placer ground it
must be shown that the mineral de-
post has been uncovered on each 10
acre subdivision of the claim.
Should this decision cover all placer
locations, and it is said to so do, it
then involves everything from the
Florida phosphate lands, on through
locations of lime and other deposits
to the gold placer ~diegings of Alas
ka. The former basis was twenty
acres, so under the new decision dou-
BILE the amoun of work must be done
and double the expense incurred On Z

Conservionists see in this decision
a step forward, while placer property
owners see in it an element of in
creased expense in reaching the coy
eted patented stage of mining. Ths
west is naturally very much interest.
