Germany's Solution Of the Liquor
Question,

Sefmahys solution OF the Liquor
Question.
DR.. II. G. Welpton of Des Moines
says the real solution OF the liquor
question lies not in licensing sa-
looms or in total prohibition. Amer
lea must finally realize that the sys-
tenn practiced in Germany is the
logical and ultimate end of the con.
troversy In Germany there is no
liquor question. There will be the
question here so long as the people
keep hammering at the two extremes.
license and prohibition. The founda-
ton of the whole thing lies in the
question of alcoholic content of iia-
uor. 1t is crime against society
TO sell or consume liquors of high
alcoholic content. Liquor which con-
tains over certain per cent of
alcohol is as poisonous as morphine.
arsenic. cocaine Or any of the other
drugs whose deadliness is unquestion-
ed. On the other hand, liquor which
contains alcohol not to exceed 2 or
3 per cent is known to be beneficial.
The Germans drink nothing but. beer,
which contains only about per
cent of alcohol and they are hardy
race. The solution of the question in
America lies in the revocation OF sa-
loon licenses and the allowing of any
merchant to sell without license liq-
nor OF low alcoholic content The
manufacture. sale and consumption of
liquor containing high alcoholic CON
tent should be prohibited.

Madame nxr

Madame X,' Bisson's famous melo-
drama which Henry w. Savage is soon
to offer here, is a play credited with
having made more lasting impress
sion and created a greater sensation
than any theatrical attraction of the
present generation That this play
electrified even blase Paris for over
year is now well known as is also
the fact that Mr.. Savage was able to
secure the American rights only by
being in the French capital when
Madame X'' was first produced,
circumventing the plans of a
dozen American managers who made
liberal offers the morning after the
news of it's sensational success had
been cabled everywhere.
Madame X,' both in these and
development, is far off the beaten
track pursued by playwrights recent
", and it's appeal to the emotions is
we'll nigh irresistible.
In the famous courtroom scene of
which SO much has been published,
the striking situation is presented of
8 son being appointed by Judge to
defend his own mother on trial for
murder. Her guilt is known to the
audience. yet when her son arises to
plead for her 1t constitutes a scene of
wonderful impressiveness and rare
appeal He is ignorant of the fact
that she is his mother and she Of her
relationship to the man fighting for
her freedom. She, because Of de-

Course Of Mississippi River Has
Changed Materially According
to Expert w. o.
Crosby.
WHAT BIG ICE GORGE DID
Centuries Ago One Formed Just North
OF Montrose Throwing Pressure
of Water Against Hi
aois Bluff.

W. 6. Crosby, an expert geologist,
made an investigation of the river
bed at the rapids SO as to determine
whether there were any cavernous
rocks through which the water
might escape under the added pres
sure of the weight of the water be-
hind the Keokuk- Hamilton dam. He
reported that the river bed at that
point is not the original path of the
river; that the time was when the
river ran west from Fort Madison,
continuing on its westerly course,
and reaching the bed of the Des
Moines river close to the Missouri
bluffs until it reached the neighbor-
hood of Canton, Mo.
Mr.. Crosby says that centuries ago
there was an ice gorge in that span
of the ancient bed of the Mississippi
river just north Of Montrose, Iowa;
that that ice gorge became SO i'm
mense as to cause an irresistible
pressure of water, which pressure
caught up great lccDerg and Threw
it against the southern bluffs with
such force as to tear path through
the solid rock from the present site
of Nauvoo to the present site of the
Keokuk and Hamilton brid3e-the
same operation was repeated with an
other immense iceberg and another
and another until finally the present
bed of the Mississippi river was cut
through these solid limestone rocks
and after the wear of centuries it has
reached it's present bed and with the
deposit of centuries the ancient riv-
er has been filled-in this way he ac-
counts for the fact that here the Mis-
sissippi river runs on a solid rock
bed with solid bluffs on either side.
Mr.. Crosby made report which
embraces study Of the Mississippi
river from Burlington to Warsaw in
length and for width of something
like eight to fifteen miles for depth
fof 1906 feet, and he sums UP his in
vestigation by making most flatter-
ing approval of the entire undertake
ing.

Points for Your Notebook.

The water that passes down the
Mississippi river between the Illinois
and the Iowa shores is drained off of
111,256 square miles of the best agri-
cultural land in the United States.
The Mississippi river from Keokuk
to Lake Itaska is 9SS1s miles long.
In that distance it falls 987 feet, near
" foot to the mile. 1t is Lastly
miles from Keokuk to the Gulf of
Mexico, following the tread of the
river, and in that distance the
Mississippi river falls 4S9 feet. There
are many falls in that part of the
river north of here.
The most northerly of the three
principal falls is st. Anthony falls,
near the cities of st. Paul and Min
neapolis. The middle one is the
Rock Rapids, near the cities of Dav-
export, Rock Island and Moline. Wa
ter powers of more or less complete
ness have been developed at both of
these falls. The last and the greatest
one to tear path through the solid
rock is the Des Moines rapids be-
tween the cities of Montrose, Nauvoo,
Hamilton and KeoKuk.
The minimum flow of the Missis-
sippi river at the foot of the Des
Moines rapids is 10000 cubic feet per
second The government records indi
cate that it has been fraction less
than that for only nine days in the
last fifty years and it is just possible
that it was q fraction less than
that this year, the river having been
lower this summer than the low wa
ter of 1864, which Is accepted as the
standard of low water. The maxi
mum flow Of the Mississippi river at
the dam site is $4,000 cubic feet
per second nearly nineteen times the
minimum flow. AT first this will
seem like a violent variation, but as
a matter of fact it is rather al even
flow. The flood tide of the Susque-
hanna river at McCall's Ferry, Penn
sylvania, where a great water power
is being built, is more than three
hundred times the low water flow.
The high range between low water
and high water is one Oh the hardest
things to overcome in the construc.
ton of water power improvements.
The Des Moines rapids are eleven
and onetenth miles long, reaching
from the site of the Keokuk and Ham
ilton water power dam north,
In the first mile Of the dam the
river falls four Iee- and three inches,
in the second mile three feet and
nine inches. and in the eleven and
one-tenth miles, 22.17 feet. The
swiftest water In the Mississippi riy-
er is about one and three-fourths
miles north of Hamilton and Keokuk,
where the travel in extreme low water
is seven miles per hour--just about
