Captain William Burke of st.
Louis, who for many years has had
charge of the principal boats owned
by the Diamond 10 line, stated this
morning previous to his departure
from the city that the landing along
the levy of Keokuk is at present one
of the most dangerous landings along
the big stream on account of TIE
many rocks and huge sand bars ,4d
the shallow water. Boats of any
size in attempting to land at this city
always scratch their hull on the above
mentioned obstacles, and in many
cases repairs are needed The captain
is under the impression that if all
owners of large boats would enter a
complaint to the government that the
damage would in the course Of time be

fts Flight Through Space Toward tho
Constellation Lyra.
In what direction are you moving?
Ii you are going toward the Battery
you will answer SOUTH If up Broad
way you will answer north" toward
the Hudson you will say west" and
If in the direction of the East river
you will reply east"
These answers might be correct as
regards the surface of the earth, but
they may be far from answering the
question, for the earth is turning east
wardly at the rate of about thousand
miles an hour, which carries YOU in
that direction very much faster than
you can move over the ground.
But that rotating motion, constantly
changing your direction in relation TO
all outside the earth, is quite subordi-
nate to another far more rapid motion
that is carrying you and the earth
around the sun eastwardly on an en-
tirely different curve at the rate of
about nine miles Il second, ever chang
ing your direction in relation to the
stars in a circular path 279OOO, 600
miles long
Yet that isn't key to your direc-
ton, for little you, your tiny earth and

the constellation of Lyra, and you will
be looking in the direction of the flight
that our system is taking through
space, If you will observe the. stars
around Vega for few hundred years
you will find that they are apparently
slowly separating, while the stars at
the opposite pole Of the heavens are
slowly drawing together. That means
we are moving toward Vega and
away from the opposite point. This
motion is in circle that cannot be
exactly measured, but there is evil
dence to show that it will require
1S,200,0O0 years for our system to
complete 1t.
Then can you answer. 81 am moving

likely perhaps not, for it is far from
unlikely that you and your solar sys-

In tho Old Days 1t Served as Proxy

In the early days everything was not

and selling or giving goods and prop
erty and settling disputes. glove.
as it was very close indeed to mans
hand, came In course of time to be
looked upon as taking the place of the
hand itself. and sometimes took the
mans place and was made to represent
him.
For example, to open fair it was
necessary then to have the consent and
protection of the great lord in whose
country 1t was going to be held. Those
who wished to open the fair would
come to the nobleman and petition him
to be present. He might be very
busy or bored at the idea of having to
go. vet he would know that it must be
opened or his people would be discon-
tented So he would say to the lead
ers of the people: NO, my trusty fell

all know my glove. Nobody has one

DUBUQUE, Oct 25.-The body OF
an unknown man, presumably a
tramp, was found lying near the Mil

A fracture of the skull indicated that
he had fallen from moving train.
He was about 40 years old, poorly
dressed and weighed about 200
pounds. Nothing was found in his
pockets which would serve to estab-

WORK OF STATE
RIVER COMMISSION
River Selected for Survey With spe.
claI Reference to Water Power
Was the Boone River
With Big Fall.
WHAT THEY FOUND
WHAT THEY FOUND
reservoir Possibilities Along This
River are Very Great and Wa
ter Power Should be
Valuable.

The river has remained stationary
for several days and the steamboat
men are beginning to believe 1t has
reached the highest point 1t will go
this season. There is a common be-
lief that the big stream freezes over
more rapidly when the water is low.
and therefore at the present stage it
should block quickly. 1t is a certainty
that it now requires colder weather
to tighten up the river than in the oil,
days. for the reason that the current
is swifter. BY the construction of
wing dams and shore protection the
channel has been narrowed and the
stream travels at faster pace.
The state river commission has
been doing some good work this sea
son.
For enc thing the Iowa commission
PICKED out one river for as complete
2 survey as possible with special ref
trence to water power. The river Sc
lected for this purpose was the Boone
river comparatively short stream
with fall of over five feet to the
mile and therefore most likely, to be
available for water power. In fact it
is river that once was lined with
factories and mills that have now dis
appeared. A survey and investigator
Of this river has been made, and the
report upon 1t will be very interest
Ing.
1t is found, in addition to other
things, that the reservoir possibili-
ties along this river are very great,
that one reservoir site has been out
lined that would add $4,000 horse

lars. A similar project on the lower
Cedar to develop only $4,000 horse
power is being capitalized on basis
Of $4,000, 900.
The matter of investigating as to
the possibilities of the Des Moines
river for navigation pESoses were

neers.
The commission started in to in
vestigate one reported water power
site and discovered that private en-
terprlse had finnaced the survey
there at large expense and the
work of taking possession was al
ready under way. That sort of thing
is taking place all over the state at
the present time, and one thing the
commission will urge will be that the
state forestall private enterprise and
safeguard the water power that it
may be used to the best advantage.

Calls Attention to the Agencies Which Have Helped to Hold Back the Poor Whites of the
 South

To the Editor of The Age-Herald Lawlessness is the twin sister of ignor- ance and poverty. From a high author ity on criminology I take the following: Prison statistics show that the higher the character of mans daily pursuits the greater the unlikelihood of his taii- ing into crime An examination of the previous occupations of criminals shows that a very large percentage was en- gagged in unskilled labor. The eeonomi- caIly low position of the unskilled laporer exposes him to frequent unempioymeh. and want, and hence to the desperation which often leads to crime. The present situation in Alabama forcibly illustrates the truth of these observations. Alabama is one of the four most lawless states in this country and, approximately, the most feloniously lawless in the civiiized world. The latest statistics of crimes Ill tbe United States show the folio"ins record of convictions for hokmicides'
