THE kEokuk COMMITTEES.

The editor OF the Hamilton Press
is personally acquainted with the
personnel of the Greater Keokuk COM
mittee and speaks advisedly when he
says OF It in last weeks issue of that
paper:
Judge Logan and Mayor Elder of
Keokuk we're appointed by the boost
er meeting last week to select a COM
mittee whose business is to look
after the interests OF that city, and
provide ways and means to bring be-
fore the manufacturing world the adj
vantages to be derived from the use
of power generated by the dam. These
gentlemen have announced their se-
lection and a stronger aggregation it
would be Impossible to get together.
The committee is composed of the
very cream of the business and pro-
fessional life of the city,
This is merited praise. The COM
mittee is frst-class in every respect
and affords every assurance that ey-
erything will be done that should be
done to advance Keokuk's interests.
This being the case, it should have the
unqualified support of every Keokuk
citizen in all that 1t recommends and
undertakes

SUNDAY p. @. CLOSING.

A Cedar Rapids business man makes
the following suggestion, to which the
Gazette gives publicity, respecting the
proposition 10 eliminate much of the
work of the local postoffice carriers
and clerks on Sunday:
If you are in the habit of going 20
the postoffice for your mail on Sunday
morning, try staying away the coming
Sunday. Then, il the world keeps on
its way, and your business hasn't gone
to she dogs, and you feel better Mon
day morning for having done all this.
tell the public what you think about
tie plan
The idea is a good one and worthy
OF trial in keokuk no less than in Ce-
dar Rapids. Apropos the movement
in this city TO do away with the de-
livery and collection OF mail on Sun
day leading citizen relates an ex,
perience that occurred in his family.
After the card left by the letter car
rier had been in his house for several
days he picked it up and announced
his intention OF signing it. His wife
Immediately demanded his reasons for
such intention. He entered into
lengthy recital of the arguments in
favor of Sunday closing and then in
turn demanded of his wife to know
why he should not sign it. Because
/ want to sign it myself" was her
reply. He had nothing more to say.

". f. Strimback has been engaged
to conduct the Hamilton Press and has
entered upon his duties in that con-
nection. Last weeks issue OF that
paper was the product OF his brains
and hands. and it doesn't need to be
said that it was highly creditable to
him and the community. Mr. Strin-
back is one OF the few remaining
competent old-time all-around print
ers who can do anything in a printing
Office and do it as it should be done.
He is also capable and experienced
newspaper man in various lines. For
two decades or more he was tele-
graph editor Of The Gate City. and
on occasion he did reporting and edi-
torial work In all that time he new
er shirked duty or betrayed any
confidence reposed in him. The peo-
pie of Hamilton in general and the
management of the Press in particu-
lar are to be congratulated upon hav-
ing secured one so capable and
worthy to condict their local news
paper.

The other Fellow.

Des Moines Register and Leader.
Down on the river front almost any
cold day you may see workingmen
wading in freezing water up to their
knees, laying foundations for the
piers of the fine new Walnut street
bridge
If YOU look out OF your comfortable
Pullman car as it whirls you across
the state any cold day you may see
track walker trudging along over the
disagreeable miles through snow and
biting wind to make sure that the
rails and roadbed are safe for traffic.
Up at the top OF some tall struc-
ture. where the keen wind drives the
cold into the very marrow OF the
bones, you may see builders hammer
ing rivets, tightening bolts, driving
nails, even though hands and feet are
full of shooting pains.
Anywhere, everywhere, men are
hard at work under conditions that
are disagreeable, uncomfortable and
dangerous, risking health and life,
and sacrificing every bodily comfort.
They are doing a necessary work,
and it must be done. The world
could not get along unless their
work were done. Though they work
humbly and though they get small
pay for it, they play an important
part in the scheme OF things. With
out their undergoing hardship and dis
comfort, there would be no ease and
comfort for anybody.
It is worth while to think about
these things now md then. Especial
ly is thought about them worth while
for the comfortable man-the man
who has goodly income with not
arduous labor, and who enjoys most
Of the comforts OF life and many of
its Injuries as matter of course. 1t
will enlarge his sympathies, possibly,
and give him q better understanding
of the point Of view OF the other fel-
low.

TAX FERRETs WILL HAVE TO Go.

TAX FERRETS WILL HAVE TO GO.
The editor of the Cedar Rapids
Gazette spent a day or two in Des
Moines last week After mingling
with members of the legislature and
others he reached the conclusion.
which he announces in his paper, that
the tax ferret law will undoubtedly be
repealed. The tax ON moneys and
credits may also be repealed, he says.
but it will require some hard work on
the part OF those who are deeply in
sterested in this question. Why this
is so he thus explains:
There are many members OF the
legislature who need instruction along
this line; they do not realize the inn
portance of the tax question; they do
not appreciate the fact that the pres.
emit tax laws are driving millions OF
dollars out of the state annually.
They must be shown 1t is up to
the people of Iowa to do the showing
and that right quickly"
At the meeting of Iowa newspaper
men, in Des Moines last week a reso-
luton was adopted urging the repeal
OF the tax on moneys and credits. The
commercial clubs of the state, in ses-
sion at Des Moines, also voted an en-
dorsement of the idea and a joint
meeting of commercial club repre-
sentatives and the newspaper men,
nearly one hundred strong, voted. only
one man dissenting, to work hard for

tax. When the legislators read the
resolutions that were passed at thai
meeting and hear from the men who
attended, the editor OF the Gazette is
hopeful that the said lawmakers viii
be impelled to take action that vii
go far toward recovering what pres
| tige Iowa has lost.

The Sioux City Tribune recalls that
the present deadlock at Des Moines
is nothing in comparison with others
there; that there was a much longer
and bitter contest when Allison beat
Harlan, and again when Gear was
chosen. 'rhe latter dragged so as to
drive one member of the assembly to
poetry and he began in this way:
o, Lord, to whom all things are
known,
Except perhaps this one alone.
Have mercy on us mortals hare
Who struggle hard to get in Gear.
Even that invocation failed to pro.
duce immediate results.
