By THOMAS TAPER.

XN7HEN the Inauguration serv-
w ices are over, the president
moves into the limelight
for four years, and the vice
president sits in the senate cham
Der, more or less obscure gentle
man.
The constitution did not origi-
nally state the qualifications for the
vice presidency, though it implied
that they should be the same as
for the president But, in the
twelfth amendment, it is clearly
stated: NO persons constitutional
Iy ineligible to the office of presi-
dent shall be eligible to that of vice
president of the United States"
The duty of the vice president is
to preside over the meetings of the
senate. He can not appoint com
mittees, nor can he vote save in the
case of tie.
Five times in our political his
tory the president of the United
States has died during his term of
office and the vice president has
succeeded to the presidency. This
possibility warrants the careful Sc
lection of men for an office that is
generally looked upon as of small
Importance
At the great conventions dele
gates get so out of breath yelling
for their presidential candidate
that his running mate slips in dur
ing a profound silence.
Plans to Increase Power.
1t has often been suggested that
the possible succession of the vice
president to the higher office war
rants his receiving an increase of
power and Importance. Two plans
have been put forward-CD to
make the vice president a member
Of the cabinet; (2) to give him a
vote as member of the senate
The purpose of this increase of
power is to assure the nomination
of men of high caliber and to erase
from the popular mind the impress
sion that any one will do for the
tail of the ticket.
The salary of the vice president
is $1,000 per annum, less than
one-siXth of the amount paid to
the president; and the same as
paid to the members of the cabi-
net. The vice president, like the
president, may be impcached, but
this has never happened in the his
tory of the United States. Presi-
dent Johnson escaped conviction
in an Impeachment trial by one
vote.
The constitutional convention of
1887 had been in session four
months before any one suggested
the office of vice president. one

MILK SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY HANDLED
State Food and Dairy Inspector Tells
How to Care for
Milk.

Milk is improperly cared for in
practically IS per cent of the homes
of the country, according to circulars
sent out by w. B. Barney, state dairy
and food inspector His figures are
based on data collected in New York
and is said to be representative. An
inspector visited 1900 homes and
found the milk handled right in just
200 Of them.
In the circular, people are urged to
buy no milk that has not been bottled
at the dairy, and except where the
conditions at the dairy are known TO
the consumer, the milk should be pas
teurized. According to the circular,
it is not always best to take the dairy
mans word for it that his milk is pas
teurized. The refrigerator should al
ways be kept sweet and clean in order
to have good milk, and the milk dealer
should not be blamed for milk not
keeping when the consumer fails to do
her part.

Chiefly, lately, his work has been
the prevention of harm to the neigh
bors when such an explosion occurs.
The company made extensive studies
of the distances for which the effects
of explosions are felt, and based up
on this caused the passage of laws in
several states prohibiting the build
Ing of storage magazines with pre-
scribed distances of other property
which might be injured Mr.. Craig is
in the storage and delivery depart
ment and has been engaged in the
work of rearranging the company's
storage magazines so that no possible
harm may occur to surrounding prop
erty. even ii the unexpected happens
and one of them blows up.
Nearly all the company magazines
have their outside walls pitted with
bullets fired at them by boys. and
one problem being worked out is the
making Of a bullet proof door out of
plate which at the same time will not
be too heavy door to open and shut
daily.
Coulter Craig Is another Keokuk
boy who has made good.

tween 4 and 5 o'clock, and night
gowned forms fitted through many a
Keokuk household for blankets and
comforts to replenisin their beds and

that the Thermometer has marked as
high as 96 degrees above this season,
a fall OF 421s degrees was sure to
have very chilly effect upon those

somewhat gradually.

from the northwest. The best kind
of weather favored the spring wheat,
putting the needed finishing touches
on a crop that had progressed steadily
from the time it was seeded Several
times the crop barely escaped the
black rust a favorable turn in the
weather coming at the critical times.
Sept. wheat showed loss of IS, clos
ing at 1875, December lost "a, clos
ing today at 957s July lost 3ss dur
ing the week.
The July delivery of corn until It
was terminated on the last day of
the month was disturbing factor in
the corn market. The later deliver
les were subject to the reports from
the growing districts and had a hard
ening tendency.
1t was a settled conviction in the
oats pit that the greatest crop ever
raised in the United States had been
harvested this year. Prices touched
a new low level yesterday and today,
closing today: Sept. 80; December
S2M.
Provisions held fairly steady
throughout the week, closing at
prices nearly even with those of LIST

MRS, BRENNAN LOSES ACTION AGAINST
 HER STEPCHILDREN

A jury in the Superior court yes terday afternoon gave a verdict against Mrs. Margaret Brennan of this city in the suit against William J., John J., and Bessie Brennan, which had been on trial for several days. Mrs. Brennan sued for $1o,00o, claiming her husbands affections had been alienated from her by her step-ch;l- dren. This caused a separation be- tween Mrs. Brennan and her husband, it was al eged, and resulted in Bren- nan deeding his property to the step children. The defendants declared Mrs. Brennan had not taken proper care of her husband during his life time. It did not take the jury a very long time to decide in favor of the defendants.
