James J. Hill declares that house
wives are to blame in a measure for
the present cry about high prices. He
says that If they would go into the
markets themselves and see what
things are the cheapest instead of
staying home and ordering through
the telephone, bills would be reduced
materially, Mr. Hill has long been
recognized as one of the closest scru-
TIMERS of affairs in this country, and
there is doubtless large measure OF
truth in what he says about the say.

IN person in the markets instead OF

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

ne u0VGlOpIU6UC OF the water pow
er project and the interest in it is like
ly to obscure the interest in the in
auguration of the commission plan of
government in this city. AS great as
is the Importance of this industrial
Improvement. just as great if not
greater is the Importance of the right
beginning of the commission plan. For
with the advantages and opportunities
that will come with this new era in
Keokuk's commercial life, will come
equally great sponsibilities and
duties. In fine. the building of the
dam demands more careful thought
and attention than ever before to
municipal government.
The commission laws have been
carefully prepared by the legislature
They have been successfully tested by
the cities of Des Moines and Cedar
Rapids. They have been construed
and sustained by the courts. The COM
mission plan has been adopted by an
overwhelming majority of the citizens
of Keokuk. The next step and the
iIIpOi Idht ODC 10 tIC SCACStiOh
of the proper officers to execute this
plan in Keokuk
Already candidates are passing their
petitions about town and soliciting
support from the citizens and many
who are neither qualified by their ex-
perience and ability nor their integ-
rity to fill these important positions
in our municipal life are receiving the
written support of some of our most
prominent citizens No doubt this is
due to the fact that these candidates
solicited their support before more
worthy candidates appeared. It
is not always easy to refuse
to sign a petition when the can
didate asks one in person for this
support. unless one has already pledg-
ed his support to someone else. This
/ is simply the weakness of human ma
+ ture. and because of this fact the first
candidates in the field often secure
much support when they are in no
way worthy of it Because of this
/ fact it is important that competent
and worthy candidates should be
/ selected as soon as possible and their
I petitions circulated for signatures.
4 Personal likes or ambitions or polit-
ica1 beliefs or any other kind of pull
should have very little consideration
in this matter, as men should be
selected who are fairly representative
of the new Keokuk, and who are com
petent to cope with the problems
which will certainly confront the city
in the promised prosperity that must
surely come from the water power de
velopment. They must also be mer
of the highest integrity and reliability
The Gate City has no candidates tt
propose, but when such men as Theo
dore F. Baldwin, Thomas P. Gray
Amos H. Evans, Fred Hilpert, Joshua
F. Elder, a. J. Hardin, john Rovane
ST.. and John P. Johnson may be per
suaded to serve the city in these
positions it would seem that the or
ganization which was instrumental Ii
securing the adoption of the commits
sion plan of government should pro
: coed promptly TO see that the prope
J persons are nominated and elected Il
; fill these new and important posi-
t tions.

HARRY KENTZEL ALONE
SURVIVED CZARINA WRECK

Marshfield, Or, Jan 13.-Another
tragedy of the sea has been written In
to the record OF marine disasters on the
grim north Pacific coast. though the
loss of tho staunch iron steamship
Czarina on the north spit of the Coos
Bay bar. with i load of 30 lives.
A solitary survivor, Harry Kentzel,
first assistant engineer of the wrecked
vessel, is the only living testimonial
to tho horoic efforts made by tho Unit
ed States life saving crew and citizens
of Marshficld to aid the doomed ships
company.
Kentzel's escape is a wonderful story
of mans endurance and physical
strength. When the ship piled on tho
rocks. with six OF seven others he took
to the rigging of the forcmast. Piled
high by the gale. sea after sea smashed
over the vessel. the decks were awash
and wreckage was floating about. Sud
denly a tremendous sea swept the ship
and kentzel and his companions were
washed from their places. Kentzel was
swept toward land. but time and timo
again was carried out to sea by the
shifting currents, He is a strong man.
and after fighting for what seemed
to him ages, he managed to get hold OF
a piece of timber, and was slowly
drfvon shoreward.
As he neared the beach he could see
the rescuers running up and down.
Then consciousness left him. and he
know nothing moro until he came to
on the beach alongside big fire. He
had been snatched from the water by
the watchers. and was brought back to
life after several hours vigorous treat
ment. He is in the hands OF physicians,
and tonight is on the road to recovery.
Kentzel resides In San Francisco.
