LOW WATER CAUSES MISSISSIPPI
PACKETS TO SUSPEND TRIPS
FOR PRESENT.
RIVER IS STILL FALLING;
MAY REACH 1910 Low STAGE
any Boats Are Driven TO Winter
Quarters and Others Of Lighter Draft
Will Give UP Trips IL Water Stage
Continues Low-Mornins Star Hits
Five Bars on Trip From St Paul.

Keokuk, July 22.--The low water OF
the Mississippi river is driving boats to
winter quarters and more of them VIII
have to give up their trips if the stage
continues too low, and there Is no In
lica ton that it will not. No more con-
spicuous evidence of the low water
can be seen than at a point in the
middle of the river just below the
large sand bar is exposed to view
The low water above Davenport has
caused Captain Blair to withdraw the
steamer Morning star from the Daven-
port-St. Paul packet trade. The big
steamer had a difficult time In getting
back from ST Paul. hitting five sand
bars on the way, finally landing at Le-
Claire three days late and sending
her passengers to Davenport on the
interurbans 1t is useless to attempt to
navigate with this boat until the river
rises.
The steamer ST. Paul is attempting
| 10 get to st. Paul. From reports she is
slowly making her way and 1t Is hoped
she will get back before the river drops
too much
1t begins to look as il the conditions
of last year will be repeated again
this season. The river men predicted
that low water would drive the boats
to the bank again. for they say that
seasons of low water never occur
singly, but always in pairs. ON this
theory 1912 will be a good year. So
far the boats he tween keokuk and
Burlington and Burlington and Daven-
port have had no trouble in making the
time. but the river is still falling.

LEGISLATORS 6IUNDER.
Law Providing For Salary Increase is
Found Defective.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, July 22.-There may be
some doubt as to whether or not the
sala ries Of members OF the legislature
were increased by the Thirty-fourth
general assembly. The session laws
indicate that the bill as passed is de-
fective. It reads: THAT section II OF
chapter Of the code be amended" etc.
The title to the bill, which was fixed
up after the bill was passed, reads:
AN act to amend section II Of chapter
z Of title 1 Of the code" But the "of
title 1" Ia not in the bill and 1t was not
in the bill as originally introduced by
Senator Sammis. Without the refer
ence to title the bill might refer to
a great many parts Of the code. The
state aduitor. who draws the pay war
rants, might construe that the title to
the bill fixes It's place in the code and
overlook the defect, but otherwise it
is certain that in strict accuracy the
legislature made bad blunder in try
ing to boost its own pay.

W|DDUP LIBERATED BY
WASHINGTON JUSTICE
Charges Against Washington Brick
Company Man Are Not Specific
Enough For Extradition.

Washington, August 30.-Requisi
ton papers received from Governor
Crothers, of Maryland, several days
ago for the extradition of Sudcliffe y
Widdupp, charged with false pretenses
by the Washington county (Maryland)
authorities, were not ho1ored by JUS
tice STAFFORD, OF the District Supreme
court, Tuesday, on the ground that the
papers contained no specifications OF
the charge against Widdup. Widdup
was released.
Widdup was arrested here several
days ago, charged with obtaining
money under false prete1ses through
the sale of $500 worth of stock IN a
Washington brick company to resi-
dents of Hagerstown. Since the sale OF
the stock, it is said, the company has
gone into the hands of a receiver and
the stock is now practically worthless.

AN UNNECESSARY SACRIFICE.

Two more human lives were sacr ific-
&c in the automobile racing game last
Saturday. When Dis this murderous
sport to be abolished?
Automobile speed contests have alb
solutely no excuse. Thy are simply
money-making affairs, with thousands
of people drawn together in the hope
that tragedy may give them a new
thrill. From first to last, the contests
are occasions of abnormal excitement,
with not single argument to be adj
vanced in their favor. The automobile
manufacturers do not require them as
an advertising adjunct, because even
" hen a machine has proven its capa-
city to run for 500 miles or more at a
speed exceeding an express train, it
has presented mo additional claim to
public favor. No one buys an automo-
bile for the mere sake of propelling it
at seventy, eighty, or ninety miles
an hour.
Instead of giving prizes to men who
wantonIy risk the lives of themselves
and others, it would be good thing
if the public deliberately avoided pur-
chasing machines that are entered in
these races. One good enduranc run
is worth a hundred exhibitions such as
darkened the Elgin track with the
shadow of death.

SOLIDARITY HURTS THE
NEGRO, SAYS CLIFFORD
Martinsburs colored Man, In Speech
In Boston, Scores Republican Party
For Attitude Toward Blacks.

Boston. Aug. 30.-"The votes of col
cred men have kept the Republican
party in power and made it possible
for it to protect the interests and
produce multi-millionaires while it re-
duced the negro to the position of a
political slave"
Such was the statement made by
Pres. dent ]. n. Clifford, of Martins
burg, before the opening meeting of
the National Independent Political
RI ghts League.
President Clifford declared further
that race solidarity in politics has
not proved a blessing to the colored
citizens; it gained for us the contempt
and opposition of the Democratic
party in most places, while it failed
to hold the Republican party true to
it's black allies"
Condemning recent lynchings of ne
groes, Rev. Byron Gunner said:
THE white race is fast becoming
lawless and savage"
At the annual election of officers
yesterday, J. r. Clifford, of Martins

GATES AND HIS MONEY.

On the same day that 1T was an
nounced that the late John w. Gates
Rad left a fortune estimated at nearly
forty millions, of which not dollar
goes to any public cause, DR.. d. X.
Pearsons, OF Chicago, gave away his
suburban home to the village as Ii
brary and park and announced that OF
the 81 900, 900 he had accumulated not
ole dollar was remaining. At ninety
two he goes to spend his remaining
years with relatives, but he has had
the supreme satisfaction OF being the
executor of his own will To his rela-
tives he has given ample sums, but
the bulk has gone to forty-fve small
colleges and to missionary boards,
churches and hospitals.
This sum, compared with the bene-
factions of Carnegie or Rockefeller,
Goes mot seem large, but relatively
speaking is much greater. ALI that he
owned has been given to the uplift OF
humanity and every dollar he has
made in long life is clean. This is a
record such as few men have attained,
and his monument will be enduring. In
years TO come some millions will be
benefited by the gifts of DIR. Pearsons.
1t may be noted that most of his gifts
were conditional on large sums being
raised, so that tits estimated that he
has stimulated the giving of at least
double the amount of his own benefac-
lions.
1t is entirely possible under our
laws for a man to dispose of his prop
erty as he chooses, subject only to dow
er rights. Mr.. Gates disposed of his
property as he wished, but it seems
regrettable that he could not have de-
voted something to the uplift of hui
mainly Most rich men get out of CIV
ing on the plea that such money is
wasted, or that it is better for people
TO shift for themselves. The same
principle might apply to their own rela
tiyes. In fact, it is pure selfishness,
love of money for its own sake, that
causes the purse strings to be pulled
tight when there is so much good to
be done. so much suffering to relieve,
Every man must be persuaded in his
cwn mind, but it seems certain that
Mr.. Gates win not live so long in mem
DRY as the Chicago physician, whose
sole obje ct in life was to help people.
