All Alike In Some Respects

There is some little comfort to the
poor fellow in trouble to know that the
rich and the great are subject to the
same troubles as the poor and insigniti-
cant. Even the President who travels
in a special train with aids and secreta-
ries to look after his effects is not wholly
exempt When he stopped in Philadel-
phia the other day to visit the school
attended by his daughter he had to
appear in his business suit because his
cap and gown had been misplaced. Then
he lost his summer Overcoat and had to
wear heavy one. We suspect that
some insurgent was in that vicinity:
But these annoyances were not quite so
bad as to have his trousers rip when he
was dressing for banquet with the
Car of Russia on his trip around the
world few years ago. No one is so
high or so great as to escape the little
annoyances of life.

THE HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
Was Held At Presbyterian Church
On Thursday Evening June 10.
Fine Address BY DIR. Eastman.

On Thursday evening last the COM
High School were held in the Presby-
terrain church with a good attendance
and pleasing program. DR.. +. c.. East
man of the State University of Iowa de-
livered the address. He talked for more
than fifty minutes and during that time
held the closest attention of his audience
by his humor and his wonderful word
painting. The lecture is thought by
many to be one of the best heard here
in several years. His address was en-
titled THE Limbo of Letters, or The
NothingnesS of Letters" He began by
showing that literature is gradual up
lift, the result of ages of civilization. The
difference between a single line of one
of our best poets and the song of a saw
age can often be measured by many
thousands of years of civiliZing infiu-
ences. He then illustrated several types
of literature belonging to this class. One
OF them is the so-called dime novel;
in which every boy delights to revel
The harm lies in the false impressions
which they give the youth of life and
its duties. In its place he suggested
that the greatest juvenile works of our
literature be given to the children under
the careful direction of parents.
A second was short course advertised
by many houses which promise to turn
out an educated man after six weeks
work by correspondence. The difficulty
here, as DR.. Eastman pointed out, lies
in the fact that education is a gradual
growth and something cannot be acquir-
ed nv an in6i Vi1ual in a fnyU XyaalyS tbat
has taken the race many centuries to
work out. Finally, he suggested that
the false sentimental literature and the
false mystical are both types that should
not exist because they give rise to false
conceptions. of the realities of life. SEN
timent and mysticism in themselves are
very elevating, but wrong ideals of eth
er are harmful, and literature represent

Attention Farmers

There are several farmers who have
spoken to us about planting some sweet

last of this week or the first of next.
Our price is S6.50 per ton same as our
contracted corn. We do not care to
plant later than the 18th so kindly call

You will greatly oblige and help us by
attending to this at once.

PRESIDENT RIPLEYs VIEWS.

President E. P. Ripley of the Santa
Fe declared in newspaper interview
in Los Angeles, Sunday, that the ma

the government most of all. Persons
spend too much he added, "and have
not saved enough for rainy day
The remedy Is dose of hard times
which sincerely hope will not have

raised the standard of living and have
not the means to meet the advanced
standard In the same conversation

kEnkuk,s aRoWrH.

The census bureau reports slight
decline in the population of keokuk
during the past ten years. The fall
ing off shown In the returns is in
significant, but it would have been
more conducive to local pride if there
had been none at all. Whatever the
actual population may be as compared
with the population OF 1900, it is very
certain that this city has neither
stood still nor gone backward since
that date.
During the past ten years more
and better houses have been built in
Keokuk than during any ten years
since the boom days of 1867. The
bank deposits are more than double
what they were at any previous time
in the city's history: the business of
both jobbing and retail houses has
increased immensely, and there are
more factories in operation employ
ing greater number of persons at a
higher average rate OF wages than
ever before The receipts of the
local postofflce-always a good bust
ness barometer-are 40 per cent
greater than they were ten years ago.
Freight shipments into and out of the
city are much larger in volume than
in 1900, and the prosperity OF all
classes of citizens is so much greater
as to afford ascontrast Of compari-
son. Judged by ali the factors that
make for progress and success keo-
kuk has made material gains in the
last decade.
With the development of the Keo
kuk and Hamilton water power, now
in progress, Keokuk will take on
greatly increased activity in all lines
and corresponding increase in popu-
lation. Already there are several
hundred more people here than there
were month ago, and from now on
the gain In numbers will be steady
and sure. Keokuk faces the future
with supreme confidence and buoy
ancy that borders clearly on exulta-
ton.

Every father, every mother. every
man and woman in Iowa, should be
a walking advertisements, as the
classic phrase goes for this school.
No child can be better taken care Of
than the child at the College for the
Blind. The superintendent. Mr.. Geo.
Eaton, is especially fitted for the
work he is doing. No man could take
greater interest in the children than
does he. He is ably supported by a
good corps of teachers and matrons
who give almost their entire time OF
the children which have been placed
in their charge. Get in into your
mind that this great institution is a
school. Here the blind boy or girl

CORPORATION TAX
FOR YEAR 1910
Blanks are Being Sent Out From
Burlington Office to kcokuk
and Other Towns.

From the Office of the fourth dis
trict of Iowa internal revenue service
in Burlington were sent yesterday to
all corporations Of the sur
rounding district blank forms for the
return for the corporation tax for
1910. This report must show the bust
ness transactions for 1910 complete.
Last year the corporations were al.
lowed to estimate a portion of the
year owing to the fact that the firms
had not been in the habit of closing
up the books and taking inventory
on Dec. 81, but this year no such lat..
tude will be allowed.
The total receipts of the Burlington
Office for the past year were $627,-
1898, Of which s110,330 was derived
from the corporation tax, the re-
mainder being from the tax on liquors,
tobacco, oleomargarine, etc. The cor
poration tax receipts from the north
ern district amounted to $50 1000, show
ing that the southern district has
more manufacturing than the north.
The letter which accompanied the
blanks which were received by the
corporations today read as follows.
Dec. 20, 1910.
Gentlemen:
The blank forms herewith are to be
filed in, verified by two officers of
the company and the seal of the at.
testing officer must be impressed
thereon.
When completed the returns should
be forwarded to this office as soon
after January /, 1911, as is possible.
Your attention Is called to that
part of the law relating to penalty for
failure to make required return on OF

THE COLLEGE FOR THE BLIND.

An article in another column from
the yinton Eagle contains much in
teresting information concerning the
Iowa College for the Blind located at
that place The facts for the most
part are derived from the biennial
report OF Superintendent Eaton and
taken collectively make a showing of
which the state has good reason TO be
proud. The institution is a highly
worthy one and is accomplishing
much good. Quite properly the re-
port emphasizes the fact that the in
stitution, as its name implies, is a
school and not an asylum. Some peo-
pie persist in regarding it as home
for the blind, but this is 2 mistake
Not only are all the common school
and some os the higher branches
taught. but there is instruction also
and it is not too much to claim that
it has long been the most successful
manual training school in Iowa.
In the light OF the facts as TO the
real character OF the institution, the
absurdity OF CHASING ii with the penal
and charitable state institutions and
placing it N charge of the board OF
control becomes apparent at glance.
1t has nothing In common with these
and should be considered from an en-
tirely different standpoint. IT be-
long properly with the educational
institutions and should be under the
general management of the state edu-
cational board. The legislature at it's
coming session would do well TO take
mote Of this and put the school for
the blind where it OF right belongs.

Keokuk is not alone, by any means,
in its loss of population during the
rast ten years. Several Iowa cities
and a number of cities and towns in
Wisconsin and Michigan have fewer
residents than ten years ago Many
of them have suffered losses ranging
from 10 to 30 per cent. Menominee,
Mich, alone has fallen of nearly 1000.
The explanation is the loss Of the
lumber mills, which. in the case OF
the northern cities and towns. have
not been replaced by other industries
