Looks a Little
Mysterious.

The Chicago Musical Ledger, which
recently published adverse criticism
OF the work of the Tabernacle choir,
after being taken to task for its atti
tude, is sending broadcast few Chi
cago newspaper clippings in support
of its contentious, showing unani-
nous conclusion reached by nearly
all the newspapers of note in Chicago
That these clippings should come so
unanimously from the same city sa.
vors somewhat of the mysterious.
Chicago critics should not run away
with the idea that the windy city is
the critical pivot of the United States
We have several other large cities
which, though probably blindly, gave
some very flattering notices of the
work OF the Salt Lake Tabernacle
choir. Among which we might men
ton the villages of Cleveland, st. Lo-
is, Omaha, and staid old New York
Surely If the choir sung as bad and
without the rudiments of technique as
the Chicago critics say they did, some.

THE COLLEGE GIRL.

Why do girls go to college? Miss
Imogene Kelly. editor of the Wellesley
College News, says it is because the
college girl is often more unattractive
than her sister who marries and stays
at home. She asserts that the college
girl herself would be married and not
pursuing intellectual courses If she
were fairer. In setting forth her opin-
ions Miss Kelly says further:
Most of the girls who come to col.
Iege do SO with an object in view,
namely, to educate themselves in or
der to better make living.
THE girls at Wellesley, as a rule,
are not beautiful, and for that reason
these girls must educate themselves
for the time when they will go ont
into the world and be obliged to sup
port themselves. If they were more
attractive they would be married or
engaged and there would be less
pressing need for college education
for them
THE majority OF college girls pos
sess that quality of looks which warns
them that it is better to prepare for
future self-support than to depend on
the chance of marrying
Miss Kelly explains that the I'M
tidyness of the average woman in
college is due TO the fact that she
does not think it worth while to be
particular and scrupulons about her
gowns and what she wears because
she figures that only girls will see
her. She dresses hastily, hurries to
Glass, to meals and to study, and
these with other hurry habits go a
great way toward making one look
slipshod and carelessly attired

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

One striking result of the recent
Democratic victory in Maine is likely
to be the hauling down in that state
of the prohibition flag that has been
flying now for nearly sixty years. 1t
was in 1851 after the prohibition cam
paign of Neal Dow, the great temper
ance advocate, that the people of
Maine were induced to put ban on
liquor-selling in their state
At first the matter was one, largely,
on local option. but the state senti-
ment seemed to be so strongly in
favor of statewide prohibition that in
1884 the people of Maine wrote pro-
hibition clause in.o their state con-
stitution, believing that in this way
they had forever barred the liquor
dealers from Maine.
But year By yer there has been
growing a change of sentiment in
Maine. Even the most ardent prohi-
bitionists have come to admit that pro-
hibition has not prohibited. 1t is well
known that in the larger cities OF
Aaine there has been considerable
liQuoi -uedilHS DOLn WIN ana WITHOUT
| the conniyance of the municipal
authorities and in every community
where the sentiment in favor of liquor
dealing seemed : be in the majority
there has been extreme difficulty in
enforcing the prohibitory law.
The Republicans in Maine, SO long
as they controlled the state. were op-
posed to making any concession to the
sentiment in favor of liquor dealing
and more than once the question OF
resubmitting the whole question to the
people SO as to secure a constitutional
amendment has come dangerously
near imperilling the Republican posi-
ton.
Now that the Democrats have both
the governor and the legis ature it
ig more than probable that the ques-
ton of prohibition viii once more be
submitted 10 the people of Maine with
the probable result of defeating pro-
hibition.

PROS AND CONS or RECIPROCITY

The Importance of the Canadian
reciprocity program is so great that
the arguments of its defenders should
be briefly stated here for future ref
erence. These were all contained in
the majority report of the ways and
means committee, which stood twelve
to seven for the bill. The report takes
the large ground that the measure is
toward the establishment of unre-
stricted trade for the continent OF
North America, recognizing natural
conditions which have been too long
ignored II is held that the reciproc-
al duties will act as regulators of the
prices of many necessary commodi-
ties consumed by our people and in
times of scarcity will tend to keen
prices down 70 the final advantage of
the great consuming public and the
general increase Of prosperity For
instance. as 70 wheat it is argued
that the final benefit to the consumer
Of bread is paramount to the interest
of the wheat producers. So long as
Liverpool fixes the worlds price Of
wheat, the 25 per cent againgt Cana
dian wheat is said not to benefit
American farmers much. A tax on
bread is believed always 10 be odions
as bearing harder on the poor than on
the rich. And the report makes this
broad assertion: "If We could sweep
away all tariffs between the two coun-
tries it would have the effect upon our
trade of another Louisiana purchase.

COOK PORK WELL.

The Department of Agriculture has

the danger of contracting trichinosis
from eating raw or imperfectly cook
ed pork, and advises housewives, no
tets and others to "Ccoa Pork Well
Cases of illness sometimes occur
from eating uncooked or insufficiently
cooked pork which is infected with a

as trichinae or flesh-wornh An aver

times resulting in death.
No method of inspection has yet
been devised by which the presence

STREET SIGNS

About twenty years ago signs bear.
ing the names of the streets were put
UP all over the city. The material
selected was porcelain, and results
were not satisfactory The letters
soon cracked and in many cases en-
tirely disappeared. The suggestion was
made in the news columns of The
Gate City the other day that new
signs be erected for the convenience
of strangers, of whom many are ex-
pected to come to Keokuk in the near
future. The suggestion is good one
and should be adopted. Apropos the
matter, why not hereafter have the
names of the streets indelibly i'm.
printed in the new cement sidewalks
at street intersections as fast as the
new walks are put down. The in.
itial expense would be less than tina,
he devised. the signs would be per-
nanent in character. and they would
be where they could be seen by every.
body. 1t would not cost much 10 put
such signs in the cement WALKS al
ready built, anu this should be done
for the sake of uniformity. In Gin
cinnati all the streets are thus indi-
Gated. with entirely satisfactory ~
suits. The attention OF the city
authorities is called to the matter in
the hope that the suggestion will
commend itself to their good iudg-
ment.

which draws its membership from the

at Sioux City the other day and de
clared against the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada on the ground that
it discriminates against the farmer,
the producer Of raw agricultural and
live stock products, as compared with
the manufacturer of food and other
products. One Of the resolutions
adopted reads as follows:
Resolved. That We are strongly OPP
posed TO this Canadian reciprocity
pact in its present form, and that if the
American farmer and the stockman
must submit to free trade in agricu'-
tural products. we favor and demand
that the manufacturer be required TO
do the same"
