ting sore on Cooper and the power
company in general, If recent articles
in the Quincy papers are to be believ-
ed The soreness seemed to start last
summer when a special steamboat ex-
cursion load came up from the Gem
City, stopping at all the little cities
enroute and parading the streets with
brass band After much hullabaloo,
the boat load of thousand men,
women and children disembarked at
Keokuk, expecting to be received by
special water power trains, d few brass
bands, several mayors and all the 9TH
er trimmings. In this they were dis
appointed, for the people up this way
were too busy making hay for such
tomfoolery The power company was
considerably engaged in its own little
job, and could not proclaim holiday,
such as would have been necessary to
have allowed such mob to traipse all
over the works. The same genial
courtesy was shown the visitors that
has always been shown people from
distant cities-such as Quincy, .Hanni-

incorporated confident hopes of his

HOSTILE TO LABOR.

At the annual convention of the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor,
which is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, as the lat
ter's official governing body in Wis
consin, series of resolutions was
adopted condemning Woodrow Wilson
for his antagonism to organized la
Dor. The resolutions were adopted
by an overwhelming vote OF So to 16.
The resolutions declare that where
as the officers of the American Fed.
Grafton OF Labor have announced that
they will throw their support and in.
fluence toward Woodrow Wilson for
the presidency, it should be known
that Woodrow Wilson has been de
nounced and ridiculed by the labor
press for his ignorance of the or
ganized labor movement The resolu
lions further declare:
Woodrow Wilson's entire record
and utterance show him to be ignor
ant Of the aims, purposes and char
acter of labor unions and the labor
movement and his entire course Of
conduct while before the public en-
titles him to be classified as Z
friend" of labor for political pur
poses only, who will fail miserably III
all his attempts at getting better con
ditions for labor"
The resolutions condemn the demo
cratic platform adopted in Baltimore
and call upon the laboring men O.
Wisconsin and other states to spread
knowledge Of the fact that so far as
the essential interests of the workin,
class are concerned, Woodrow VIII
son is ineffective and useless.

Former Congressman James Taw-
ney Of Minnesota, delivered a republi-
can campaign address before large
crowd at the Graham opera house in
Washington, Iowa, Friday night. Mr..
Tawney started his talk with eluogy
of Congressman Charles A. Kennedy
of the First Iowa district, and urged
the voters to return him to congress
this November He said that Mr..
Kennedy was a hard worker and that
while they were in congress together
he sat right behind him and noticed
that every time an important meas
ure came up Mr.. Kennedy was al
ways in his seat ready to vote on the
question. Mr.. Tawney impressed up
on his hearers that it was not by
making a noise on the floor OF the
house that a congressman served his
constituents but by his work in com
mittees.

bal, Macomb and Bushnel1 and that
is a good deal. The Quincyites went
home and spread the report that they
had been stung-had received a cold
shoulder from Keokuk and Cooper.
This started the soreness.
Then last week, following the an
nouncement that the power company
had helped finance a 100000 indus
trial tract southwest of Keokuk and
was considerably interested in a sim
liar deal on this side OF the river,
came a demand from the Quincy men
that they either be named some power
rates Or reimbursed by Cooper for
some of the money they mad been
spending with the idea of locating fac
tories. Cooper has generously offer
ed to pay part of the factory fund
thus alleged to have been wasted
after donating huge chunk to it in
the first place-and some of the Quin-
cy business men are little enough to
say they'd accept 1t. But they'll get

growth is financially encouraged by

WAITING.
Our day Is come my dearest
For the mating birds of spring,
Once again like shadows passing
Fleck the sky.
In the mist yelled early morning
Sounds the whir of speeding wing,
From the tinted glow OF evening
Comes their Cry.
For they've heard the Southland call
ing,
How each eager pinion's spread
When they sense the Frost Kings
menace
Till the bright stars overhead;
See the hosts go drifting southwark
Toward their distant winter home,
10 the sun-kissed nesting places
Where 10 want nor cold is known.
So it lis the token sweetheart,
For the gold and crimsoned trees
Now drop their flaming vestments
One by one.
And the chill Of brown October
Riding on the evening breeze,
Comes to tell our weary waiting
Now is done.
For thus you promised dearest
When the southing birds take wing
And the leaves of autumn fall
Then to my breast.
You would haste to bide for always
To learn the joy our love shall
bring"
Come, dearest, the time is fleeting
Come to thy waiting nest.
