while countries who have run out OF
patriots, have slumbered peacefully
along and have finally gone out of bust
ness with heavy liabilities
Nowadays America is so rich and
powerful that the American patriot can
not fight for his country, but must save
1t in other ways. This Is going to be
a great year for patriots, and great
many Of them VIII work so hard saving
the country that their vocal cord win

~ ATRIOTISM is a strange and mys-
~ ferrous enthusiasm which inspires
= men to 90 out on the battlefield
and get shot into human eolanders in
defence of their country
It also leads men to stand up in pub
lie places and make invidious remarks
concerning the administration which has
been running things into the ground.
In the old days this proceeding was as
fatal as the other Even in this day, a
great many patriots who have criticised
congress have been compelled to stand
up against a Cannon's mouth
Patriots are full of love for their
country and will do almost anything for
it, even to paying taxes willingly,
though patriots of this sort are rare.
Patriots have always been plentiful,
though the job is unhealthy and the pay
very bad as a rule. ThrouhOut history
patriots have been busy making speeches
with the sheriff in full pursuit, fighting
armies with an old fashioned musket,
which kicked harder than it shot, and
languishing in damp and badly furnished
dungeons for years at a time In the
early days, the patriot who got hanged,
instead of being boiled in oil, con
sidered himself a pet of fortune How
ever. when the patriot has died, he has
always been embalmed in history and
children have spoken Of him as an old
friend long after the rich man next door
has been forgotten, even by his descend
ants.
David was one of the earliest patriots
and succeeded in making the business
pay handsomely after great privations.

Dog owners of the city of Keokuk

The leniency extended to this class
of citizens who have refused to pay
their dog license, has been abused and
for that reason legal steps are to be
taken against those who have failed
to square accounts with the city clerk.
There are still some five hundred
dogs In Keokuk on which there has
been no tax paid, and legal action will
be taken Immediately against those
who still maintain their Indifference
to the city's request.
The police have been supplied with
lists and will begin dog census OF
the city. When 1t became noised

gested that Tabers ship logs by rail
from above the government lock to the
mill. Craig said the Taber logs are
worth s25 per thousand feet in the log
which led Mr.. Cooper to ask the COM
mission to go UP to look at them and
estimate their value. Mr.. Cooper ex-
pressed great surprise at all the fig
ures of Taber loss stated by them.

AmenabIe to Reason.

Mr.. Cooper said If anybody can
make a reasonable suggestion how to
close and open navigation at the
regular times and get the dry dock
done in a reasonable time, the com
pany will be glad to adopt it. All
the masonry west of that now done
requires closed navigation to do 1t,
Mr.. Cooper said, and it is impossible
to use the new lock until all this
work is done.
Major Meigs emphasized the mad
visibility of connecting concrete to
bed rock in weather below the freez-
ing point, and that the concrete ought
to all be done in warmer weather
Mr.. Cooper mentioned the work re-
quired to move the cranes and ma
chinery over to the dry dock.
Colonel Burr by few questions H.
Illuminated the main fact that naviga-
ton must either close early this fall
or open late next spring.
Attorney Theodore a. Craig asked a
number OF suggestive questions OF
Mr.. Cooper as to various alternative
methods, none of which Mr.. Cooper
considered feasible.
Keller Compliments Cooper.
Major Keller stated that the Water
Power company has always done

Not Greatly Concerned.

H. f. Manning, traffic manager of
the Streckfus line, asked about when
navigation will be opened in the
spring If the canal be closed Septem-
Der 10, and was answered probably
April 10. He said last year his line
stopped using the canal about Octob-
er 1, and this year might like to use
it until October 10. His line does not
start in the spring until May Is. The
chief thing for his line is change
of winter quarters for its boats, he
said, but it prefers a late opening in
the spring to an early closing this
fall.
Toward the end. Mr.. Cooper said
the Water Power company is ready to
adopt without argument any sugges-
tions from the war department to less
inconvenience to navigation.

Government Interested.

Hugh l.. Cooper opened his remarks
by saying the early closing of the
canal is of more justice to the govern
ment than the Water Power company
which will have its own concrete work
done before wintry cold weather
Wien the dry dock work is reached a
large quantity of apparatus will be
available to use on the dry dock
work. But it will require sixty days
to place concrete masonry after foun-
dations are uncovered, and last winter
there was not sixty days of water and

pleted much earlier than otherwise
the dry dock is based on a fill which
must settle, and if navigation be not
closed before November Is, dry dock
