LOW RAIL RATES.

The Official Railway Guide has is
sued statement with reference to
the cost of traffic by rail in Europe
and America. The effort is made sue
cessfully to incite comparison, where
comparison is pertinent that Is, be-
tween that part of the United States
which is most thickly populated and
the ordinary countries of Europe, all
of which. except Russia, perhaps, have
dense populations. The whole ques.
ten is resolved into two or three con-
illusions which are thus briefly stat
ed in an article in the Buffalo News:
One is travelling first-class in Eu-
rope costs an average of 446 cents a
mile and travelling first-class In Amer
lea at one-fourth higher rate of speed
than in Europe but with the same
amount of baggage and with reserved
seat in parlor car costs 2.S6 cents a
mile. The American. in other words
may travel in parlor car at nearly
one-third less cost than the European
Or, reserying it by percentage. the
cost in Europe is So per cent higher
than in America.
Taking second class fares and
tickets the price in Europe averages
3.21 cents 2 mile and in America, 2.41
cents mile. though the cost of travel
in second class in Europe is a third
higher than the cost of travelling in
America with the same amount of bag
gage.
It is we'll known that privately
owned and operated railways in Amer
lea furnish the best and cheapes
transportation and freight accommo
dations in the world. There is never
any fair comparison that does no
show the government-owned lines O
Europe to be managed with such neg
lect in many ways as the public II
fhe United States would not endure.

A Merited Compliment.

district by Honorable James McKin-
ney, is a tribute of confidence most
worthily bestowed. While congress

all over the United States, who two
years ago receivd much larger ma

dreds, our member Is elected by a
majority not so from 1000 as large
In proportion to the vote Lolled, as
the one he received in presidential
year. This vote was achieved in the
face of most vicious campaign
made against him by the Democratic
candidate, who a Washington news
paper correspondent is up to all that

the surface; who flooded the district
with circulars. and posters six feet

Bosses Rre Not Wanted.

Clinton Herald: The fact that the
greatest Democratic gains. generally
speaking. occurred in the sections of
the country where Theodore Roose-
welt took a prominent part, indicates
very clearly that the people will not
tolerate bosses Mr.. Roosevelt may
believe in his own mind that he is a
leader and not boss. but judging
from the manner in which the people
recorded their votes last Tuesday,
he has been looked upon not as a
leader.
1t was not surprising that the col
onel should have retired within the
Businesses of his own home, shut
himself off from the outside world and
refused to be interviewed. Unquestion-
ably he feels the Democratic victor
les most keenly He cannot look up
on them in any other light than a
rebuke.
Colonel Roosevelt continues to be
an immensely popular man. He has
won for himself reputation unlike
that gained by any other American
The people everywhere will continue
to have strong desire to see and
hear the man, the same as the people
hau desire to see and hear William
Jennings Bryan But as leader he
has suffered tremendously. and he has
no one but himself to blame for that
fact.

cheap claptrap, but has a tendency
to arrest the attention and support
of the unthinking in these days Of
Republican turbulency. But while
this sort of campaigning, even in
less methodical degree, swept Other
Republican congressman off Their
feet to defeat, it made little or no
impression against Mckinney. The
voters knew him to be a straight
forward, painstaking, untiring, ever
at-his-post congressman, that he is;
they knew that he was conscientious
and honest in doing every act he
did, in the interest OF his constitG.
ents and for the good of all. and
showed their appreciation by giving
him their loyal old fashioned sup
port. The Tavenner calumny fell fiat
and harmless. Mr.. McKinney's re.
election was alike credit to his
faithful services as congressman
and the voters of the district who
showed they had the good sense TO
appreciate his good work and were
determined to still keep him in theif
stewardship.

possible-for the cause that lies near
est to its interests. 1t turned the visit
of Mr.. Roosevelt to advertising ac-
count. which from the commercial
point of view may be warranted. That
may have been just what the dinner
was served for; at any rate advantage
was taken of the psychological mo-
ment. Mr.. Roosevelt was told how
Des Moines had grown in greatness
by emulating his example. Then
what could the colonel do but recip-
rocate and go his host one better.

PRESIDENT TAFT,s VIEW.

President Taft's attitude Is the right
one, as men OF all parties must admit.
A dispatch in telling how he received
the election news says:
@The President has no comment to
make nor has he any plans yet for
the future save to administer the
affairs of his office as in the past with
a sole regard for what he believes to
be his duty. He believes it to be true
that sooner or later his policies and
his manner OF administering the presi
dency will be vindicated by the PEG
pie"
The President will not be disap-
pointed The good sense Of the Amer.
lean people will not fail to support
him in doing his dut: as he sees it.

DR.. S. D. Ingham of the Telurie
University neurological clinic in New
York, has announced that a drug.
known as utropin, is found to be the
only remedy affording relief in eases
of infantile paralysis. DR.. Ingham has
conducted series of experiments for
the Rockefeller Institute, testing
utropin first on monkeys and later in
human cases. He says that the germ
of the disease has never been foun 1,
that the disease is warm weather
one, and that unhygienic surround
ings are not responsible for contract
ing it. The children of the rich and
the poor alike are susceptible to this
strange malady.

The board of directors of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. have recommended
the payment of a stock dividend of
80 10 per cent, subject to ratification
at a special meeting of stockholders.
This is equivalent to one-third of the
money invested and it shows that the
big mail order houses of which s., R.

from being benevolent enterprises. 1t
would be interesting to know how
much Keokuk and Lee county money
went to help swell the enormous
profits of this Chicago concern.

There will be an entire change OF

and new music.
Mr.. Temple has finally succeeded
in getting "The Tyrells,' Ned and

who have been making a hit all over
the big time. They have been held
over for longer engagements at so
many houses, that they are far be-
hind their schedule, but they will be
with us sure for the last half of the
week, commencing tonight. They are
billed as "The Kangaroos from Aus
tralia," and are said to have an act
entirely out of the ordinary.
Homer Denis, Master of Charac-
ters," has an act guaranteed to be a
laugh producer, consisting of singing,
talking and eccentric acrobatic dane
ing.
Julia Mae Gradi will have a new
song, and the motion pictures will be
up to the usual high standard.
