CREAM PUFF lNrELLEcrs.,

Miss Marian Hamilton Carter OF
New York City, former associate edi
tor Of McClure's magazine. made a
savage attack upon the kindergarten
in an address before the Iowa Press
and Authors club in Des Moines last
Saturday. Without warning OF any
kind Miss Carter literally fayed the
kindergarten with it's lisping babies
and charming teachers to a FRAGILE.
She declared that it is nothing but a
Coy saloon" and denounced it as
the country's greatest menace to
prosperity, not barring liquors or
drugs" She asserted that it turns
out lot of vaudeville minds" which
are later dumped into the college and
the result is the cream puff intel
lect which characterizes SO much of
American youth today. Further like
utterances are attributed to her as
| follows:
The kindergarten is the greatest
menace because it absorbs the best
! blood of our land The children are
taught to get tired every minute
4 They are given one little stunt to dc
and no sooner get started on it thar
4 the teacher says, Now It's time tc
quit Everything Is piecemeal. Il
develops the fitting mind and fits the
children for nothing better in life
/ than $40 a week job

School Teachers Waves.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: At Keokuk
the school board has announced that
an increase of salaries will be granted
teachers, beginning with the next
term. 1t will range from $50 to $50
FER annum. OF course, that is not a
vast amount of money for the individ-
ual teacher, but it makes pretty sum
for the school board to raise. How
ever it will be noted that everybody
will favor the increase and further
increases that may be made The
salary of the teacher ought to be
placed on level with the other pro-
fessions, so far as that can be deter
mined, and it surely ought to be put
on a par with the different organized
trades and occupations. The average
teacher today would be much better
off financially and physically. and
would have less worry and trouble If
he had become a switchman. And
there would have been more oppor-
tunities for promotions.

Theodore Roosevelt in the current
number of Outlook has signed edi-
torial arguing against the proposal to
make arbitration treaties with France
and England to include all questions
of honor such as independence or the
right of self defense. Such a treaty
he regards no less absurd than for a
citizen in promising to obey the laws
to specifically vow not. to beat the
man who should slap said citizen 5
wife. He says that either questions Of
honor should be omitted or prean-
BILE should be inserted stating that it
is impossible that either nation would
do anything against the honor of the
other, and hence all questions could
be arbitrated.

PUBLICITY FOR kEokuk.

The publicity proposition as we'll
as the street railway and street light
ing franchises should be endorsed by
a practically unanimous vote at the
special election June - next. The
idea of making use of city revenues
from miscellaneous sources for pub
licity purposes is Keokuk idea. 1t
was first preached publicly at the big
booster meeting in the Grand opera
house in January and enthusiastically
endorsed by that great gathering of
representative citizens. Upon the or
ganization of the Keokuk Industrial
Association which resulted from that
meeting the proposition received the
endorsement of that body. Later the
Keokuk Industrial Association sent
delegates to Des Moines to interview
members of the legislature in the
interest of the measure After con-
siderable hard work on the part of
Senator McManus and Representa-
tives Hamilton and krebill the bill
sembly and became law.
1t was understood at the time, and
so admitted, that the measure was for
the especial benefit of Keokuk, to en-
able this city to meet the great OPP
portunities opened up to it through
the development of the water power.
The Industrial association and our
representatives at Des Moines have
done their whole duty in making it
possible for Keokuk to use certain
funds under official supervision in
making known the superior adyant-
ages of Keokuk in the important par
ticulars of location, transportation and
cheap power. 1t is now up to the
voters of Keokuk to place the seal of
their approval upon what has been
done in their interest in this matter,
and the verdict should be made as
decisive and emphatic as possible A
vote for the publicity proposition is a
vote for a Greater Keokuk and will
not fail of its intended purpose. Every
voter should constitute himself a com
mittee of one to assure an overwhelm-
ing vote in its favor, both as an ex-
preston of appreciation of the privi-
| lege thus afforded and as means of
making Keokuk the greatest Industrial
center in the Mississippi valley.

The Rule of Reason.

ST. Louis e-Democrat: 1t is
remarkable, the chatter of nonsense
which can follow an important decis-
ion, the chattering coming from what
are sometimes supposed to be seats
OF wisdom. Because the chief Justice,
in the course OF an opinion which IL
Illuminated complicated subject from
every point of view, expressed the
opinion that rule of reason" must
govern courts in their application cf
. law to an evil, there is an outburst
to the effect that the supreme court
of the United States has read law in
to the federal statutes which congress
had not put there; that it has inter-
polated words and meanings into the
Sherman law which have no rightful
place there, and that it has usurped
power of legislation nowhere con-
ferred upon it.
What the chi, f justice said was that
. the rule of Interpretation of the law
by the court should be the applica-
ton of the rule of reason" to the
particular case. This does not i'm
press us as being new. We are sure
that courts have heretofore laid down
this safe rule of conduct to the mass
of obiter dicta with which courts of
equity have often illustrated and IL
Illuminated their work. If courts of
equity may not apply a rule of rea-
SON to bare statutes in making their
interpretations of laws, then we are
getting away from the safe conditions
under which the spirit maketh
alive" to more threatening ones I'M
der which the letter killeth" The
Sherman law has been made of value
through its Interpretation by our
courts more according to it's spirit
than its letter. The last Cleveland
administration filled utterly in giving
it force and effect, because standing
wholly upon its letter. When the
rule of reason is applied to it, this
! once despised and maligned statute
is found to be effective for great work
in suppression of combinations in re-
straint of tr:de
The case of the Standard Oil cor
| poration is 3ne directly in point. BY

THE TOWN OF NoTHING-To-Do.
They say that somewhere, in the dis
lance fair,
Is the town of Nothing-to-Do;
Where the sun, they say, shines every
day,
And the skies are always blue.
Where no one tries for silver prize,
And no one strives for gold
There every race has taken place,
And every tale has been told.
The blacksmith sings as his anvil
rings,
OF the town of Nothing-toDo;
EAnd vows in his song, though the
road Is long,
When with anvil and forge he's
through
HIe will wander far, where the glad
folks are,
And will rest in that happy town;
for aye
His hammer and apron down.
Dh, it matters not what the toll
er's lot,
Be he preacher or soldier brave;
Though he delve ditch, be he. great
or rich
Be he judge or statesman grave.
He dreams always of the future days
When he'll come to Nothing-to-Do
When's he faced life's test and his
hands will rest,
And his time to toll is through.
But Nothing -to-Do, folks tell me who
Have journeyed the hills and found
it,
Is hollow fake, and big mistake.
For the streams of care surround it,
And people there. they all declare,
Are gloomy and sad and signing.
And they .yearn for strife, for the
joy of life
Is something to do worth trying.

next Saturday should not fail to at
tract large crowds from all surround
ing cities and towns and country
neighborhoods. There have been no
such exhibitions in the past nearer
than ST. Louis, and the opportunity
will be an exceptional one to witness
daring flights in heavier-than-air ma
chine. Keokuk will extend warm
welcome to all who may come. Visi-
tors will also enjoy an opportunity to
note the progress of work on the big
dam, which in itself is an object OF
great interest. There should be a
record breaking crowd in Keokuk next
Saturday.

How to Make House for the wrens.

TOW 20 Wake House Tor the Wrens.
Davenport Democrat: The inquiry
as to how to make house for the
wrens that would be impossible of
entrance by the sparrows brings from
Curator Paarmann of the Academy Of
Science the assurance that there is
abundant virtue in the old rule that
if the opening into the wren-house Is
made viii an inch bit, it will provide
easy access to the wren and keep out
all the other birds. A round hole, just
an inch in diameter, or the size of d
quarter of a dollar, fills the bill. SO
be sure to put up house for the
wrens this spring, and let them fill
the backyard with melody

Unannounced, there entered the room
a slender woman, whose face was half
hidden by huge, Hopping. bushel-
basket type of hat. the brim of which
was drape6 with Haunting, Tapping
lace, and from whose crown lifted into
the air a gorgeous array of feathers
and ribbons and flowers. A tight-fit-
ting gown, with the skirt SO hobbled
that her steps were painfully mincing,
encased her form, and from behind
her drifted the most remarkable train
that ever was. She tottered in on
her high-heeled shoes and peered
about the place with mingling Of
coyness and assurance that was amaz-
ing. Harry looked up, saw her, and
groaned. Then he lapsed back furth-
er into the chair and mentally gave
