BROKEN PUMP
AT CEDAR GLEN
Picnic Parties Suffer for Water Be-
cause SIS viii Not be Spent to
Fix Well.

Here's hypothetical question to
study over these hot days; il you
we're running an interurban line out
of Keokuk with Cedar Glen as one of
the feature stopping points and haul
ed people down there to picnics and
took their dimes for doing So and
there was a fine drilled we'll on the
grounds but the pump was broken
and no water could be secured unless
you spent SIS to have the pump repair
ed, would you continue to haul peo-
pie down there and take their dimes
without having the pump repaired or
would you have the pump repaired
About two hundred people were
down at Cedar Glen yesterday, expect
ing to enjoy the day at picnics. They
all paid ten cents each to ride on the
interurban cars. total of $40 for the
round trip. At Cedar Glen they found
the pump broken and no way to get
water excepting by a long walk to the
neighboring farm houses.
Mad? Well, you should have heard
them.
1t was said by some of those who
were there yesterday, that this pump
has been broken for month or more
and that several appeals have been
made to the interurban company to
have it repaired, offers even being
made to stand part of the expense.
Tip to picnicers; If you go to Ce-
dar Glen, carry your own water.

THE PRESIDENT
At |ND|ANAP0 OILS
MIR. Taft Was Guest Of Former Vice
President Fairbanks and There
fore Managed to keep
Cool.
MADE SPEECH AT NIg
Talked on Reciprocity Before the
Marion Club and Gave Answer
to Arguments Against
Proposition.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5.-Pres-
loent Taft put the parting touch on
the celebration of this city's safe and
sane Fourth in speech on Canadian
reciprocity at the Marion club ban
quet last night. The president made
MS answer to the arguments Of other
republicans that reciprocity as he has
proposed 1t is not good republican
doctrine, but democratic doctrine.
He showed that reciprocity as pro.
posed to congress by him differed if
at all only slightly from reciprocity
as advocated by James G. Blaine and
former President Mckinley. He de-
clared that the contention of the op-
ponents of his reciprocity plan that
the doctrine is un-republican because
1t affects articles that are competitive
and not merely non-competitive ar
ticles Is not sound.
Replying to the contention that
reciprocity would be made wholly at
the expense of the farmer and In the
interest of the wage Garner of the
large cities, Mr.. Taft declared that in
his judgment the reciprocity agree
ment will mot greatly reduce the cost
of living, if at ALL
The complaint that the farmer
would suffer from the agreement
the president said, when analyzed
would be found to be an argument
that the admission of Canadian wheat
free of duty would lower the price OF
wheat raised in the United States 10
cents a bushel.
Although the sun was not consult
ed by those In charge of the celebra.
tion of the Fourth, and lowered up
around 110 on the streets most of
the day, the president enjoyed his
part in 1t, in spite of the crowded
program
The president was the guest here
of former Vice President Fairbanks.
He had breakfast at the Fairbanks
home, and later in the morning re-
viewed parade of floats at the In
diana soldiers and sailors monument.
Probably the only unpleasant Incl
dent of the day occurred in front of
this stand half an hour before his ar.
rival, when Mrs. Harry Tutwiler, oc-
cupy1ng one of the reserved seats,
was struck by a spent bullet fired by
some one whom the police had not
identified. Mrs. Tutwiler was not bad
ly hurt, and the president was not
notified of the incident.
