The ink on the law creating the
new office of labor commissioner was
scarcely dry before an Atlanta man
by the name of Smith was running
for it. Mr. J. e. D. Shipp of Cordele
is spoken of as a probable candidate,
and between the two he will get The
News vote. Besides being a South
Georgian he is home man, being
a resident of the Third congressional
district.

A Rude Awakening for the Capital.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
If Sumter county thinks congress
sional honors will be handed on a
silver waiter to one of her score of
alleged candidates by the unanimous
consent of all the counties in the
district there. will be a rude awak-
ening for her. John r. Mercer of
Dawson is in the race, and he is a
man of prominence There is a
rumor, which is not without founda-
ton, that Hon. Emmett R. Shaw of
Clay county has his ear to the
ground. Should he decide to run the
campaign would not sag. He is a
popular man and winner when
he gets on the hastings. He has an
engagement to speak at Ashburn.

AS The News sees the situation
Governor Wilson has the lead over
the other aspirants for the democrat
ic nomination for the presidency and
will probably have more votes in the
convention than any other man, while
Governor Harmon is the strongest
with the masses of the people and
would have an excellent chance to be
elected were he nominated. If Gov
ernor Wilson is nominated, which is
not improbable, the democratic party
will experience one of the worst de-
feats in its history, not excepting
the times when Mr. Bryan and Judge
Parker led us so ingloriously.

The Orpheum Thing of
Beauty and Forever Joy
A Charmer in the Midst Of Prosperity Manager M. R
Angels Theatre Has Caused an Awakening
That Leads to the Best.

"Orpheum.'
When one hears the word they
think of the beautiful, the inspiring,
the grand. Keokuk's newest theatre,
the charmer Of them all, calls forth
these visions of perfection and delight
and measures fully and beyond the
standard of comparison.
To be a theatre ideal, to win the
faith, the praise and the favoritism OF
an amusement loving publ right
management exacts the greatest care.
NJ R. Angel, the gentleman who can
truly be said to have opened the door
to brighter, more picturesque Keokuk,
with her attractiveness that stands
out plainly in the marked future be-
fore her, has not conducted his mod
ell and palatial picture house much
more than two months, That he has
won in his endeayors to give to the
enjoyment seeking populace the kind
of theatre that they have been wish

the best attractions procurable, but
affords the beauteous environments

can best be attested by the popularity
which the artistic pleasure rendezvous

too said the Orpheum's manage
ment when speaking of the additional
instruments recently.
Miss Edith There, the young woman
who has come to Keokuk with the
opening of the theatre, has her for
tune in her voice Hundreds who have
heard her sing, have marvelled at the
sweet, strong tones of the fair young
songster and wondered much that
she has not decided upon operate
work instead of favoring in Keokuk.
But then as before stated, Manager
Angel says the best is none too good
for Keokuk.

The Reueille of Progress

The reveille Of progress has sound
ed and the civic consciousness of this
community has become alert to the
demands created by the new condi-
tions that have arisen. For several
decades Keokuk has been regarded as
a manufacturing center of some i'm
portance. In the amount of capital
invested and the volume Of output
there has been steady appreciation
in Keokuk industries. While their
growth has been uninterrupted and
encouraging the era of expansion that
has come to this municipality means
a more rapid development than has
been witnessed at any previous period
in the history of Keokuk. The almost
unlimited hydro-electric power that
will be available within period of
less than two years will make pos
sible vast extension of the indus
trial field and the requirement Of
many new manufacturing enterprises
that heretofore have not thrived in
this region. All the factors that are
essential to the development of
DlS SCAIOl dIS OAiotOht
here; that they will be fully utilized
is indicated by the sagacit.. and en-
ergy with which the promotion de-
velopment has been undertaken. With
in a decade this city will occupy a
predominant position in manufactur-
ing. Opportunity fraught with so
many possibilities seldom presents
itself The enthusiasm aud unity of
action already displayed indicates that
full advantage is to be taken of it.
Essential Elements of Manufacturing.
All the factors and elements neces-
sary for profitable manufacturing are
offered here in greater degree than at
any previous time in municipal his
tory. Among these are cheap motive
power, abundant rail and water ship
ping and switching facilities. cheap
able taxation and home support and
cooperation, and CONSUMING popula-
ton of over seven millions of prosper
| ing people within a radius Of FIVE
hundred miles. The market is i'm
! mediately at hand for the products Of
the factory.
Without the important factor of
cheaper motive power than any COM
peting city can offer or produce,
Keokuk has developed large manufac-
| turing interests, the federal census
for the year 1910 showing that there

Several thousand skilled workmen

I the starch, the various mechanical ap-

tories go to every part of the United
States and to many foreign lands. The
Keokuk product is better appreciated
in some foreign localities than it is
! at home apparently.
The manufacturing gains have been
