GREAT VICTORY FOR kEokuK.


/ Proposition For Against
Railway franchise 49,. .246o 81
Lighting franchise -. 244e 81
Publicity department Poop sss
These figures, pregnant with mean
/ ing, tell their own story and tell 1t
well to all acquainted with the situa-
ton here. They make it Enthusiastically
clear that the old town has come
back" and has set resolutely forward
on the highway of progress and pros
perity. 1t gave earnest OF its intention
| to do this when 1t organized the keo-
kuk Industrial Association with capt.
tai Of 100000, and it has now proved
the sincerity of its faith by the gen
uineness of its works. 1t has pro-
claimed in clarion tones that 1t is
alive to the great opportunities that
are before 1t and proposes to make
the most of them The doubters and
scoffers who advertised their disloyal-
tv to the city and its interests by OPP
posing the propositions have their
answer in the more than to vote
on the question of establishing a pub
licity department and the 80 to 1 vote
On the street railway and lighting
franchises.
The result of yesterdays election
assures practically new street rail-
way system and an entirely new
street lighting system 1t also as
sures that Keokuk will be more than
four times better lighted than 1t has
been in the past, making it one of the
most brilliantly Illuminated cities IN
the country. This will involve the
investment of between 100000 and
100000 additional outside capital here
and enlist the hearty cooperation OF
the largest public utility company in
the United States in the upbuilding OF
the community. Keokuk's interests
will be Stone & Webster's interests
henceforth and the two will join forces
In making Keokuk without a peer
among the cities Of the west.
Not the least gratifying feature OF
the result is the overwhelming ma
jority in favor of the several PROPOSE
tons. The vote, as was hoped, was
practically unanimous. In way ii
was as much a vote of confidence in
Stone & Webster as q vote in the in
terest of Keokuk, and is as compli-
mentary to them as 1t is gratifying to
every loyal citizen. They should find
in it great encouragement and fresh
inspiration in the alliance into which
they are about to enter. 1t is proof
positive to them that they have with
them a united community willing to
do its whole duty in the attainment OF
the ends both have in view.

That the welfare Of the wageworker
is vital to the community az whole
is the gist Of an address by Colonel
Roosevelt to several hundred Vermont
agriculturists at White River Junction
in that state one day last week. In
that work Colonel Roosevelt urged
that the farmers must take the lead
in meeting the changed Industrial
conditions. He remarked that we
have made greater progress In amass-
ing wealth than in its proper distribu.
ton and that Eve must combine a far
more efficient power OF collective
action for collective bettcrment than
has been the case in the past

H H. Van Meter of Chicago, a
Christian Endeavor evangelist, sug-
gests "denatured dancing as means
of closing the yawning abyss which
he says turks at the foot of the waltz
and two-step. His idea Is to have
the men at one party and the women
at another anG thus rob the dance of
its sinful lure and leave only its
beneficial feature-that of exercise.
1t is his firm conviction that more
young girls have fallen by the wayside
through the medium of the dance than
from any other cause.
