stated that wrong impression is
abroad concerning the much-discussed
reef" between Keokuk and Montrose
on which steamboats, have been stuck
several times this season. The Keo-
kuk rapids extend FIVE miles above the
upper lock. Some years ago the gov
eminent engineers cut a channel 200
feet wide up through the rapids, which
before We're unnayigable because Of
the shallow water and rocks. Until
this year sand carried down by the
spring floods washed over the rocks
and swept on down the river past
Keokuk. Rapid progress in the con-
struction of the big dam was made
during the winter, and when the
floods came the concrete blockade ex-
tended almost all the way across the
big stream 1t is Wisherd's theory.
that the dam In some way or other
may have been responsible in a meas
ure for the sand deposited in the
channel of the rapids. At any rate, a
sandbar formed north of the upper
lock, opposite Dynamite Island, and
at both ends are large rocks. Wi5lerd
says there is no excuse for boass hit
ting the rocks, as the channel is POO
feet wide, but it has been excentioral-
| ly difficult to avoid the bar. It was

WOMEN PREFER PARTY OF
ACTION TO ONE OF PROMISE
Anti-Iynehing Society Questions Sim
eerity of National Republican Party.

Boston.-The Anti-lynching society,
Of which Mrs. NJ. e. Simpson is presi-
dent. is not only working to create SEN
timent against the lynchins of human
beings as a substitute for punishment
for offenders against the law instead
Of punishment according To law. but Is
welding a potent influence along pO-
litical lines. The society Is taking a
leading part with those persons and or
ganizatiOns which have for their aim
the securing OF the franchise TO those
Of our male citizens who in many sec
lions OF the country are denied the ex-
ercise OF their suffrage rights accord
ing to the amendments to the constitu-
ton Of the United States
The members Of the organization
are in favor Of a party OF action rather
than a party Of promise-a political
party that has the courage Of its con-
victions, a party that will carry out
as far as possible within the bounds
Of law its platform Of principles In
respect to securing just legislation for
the benefit of the body polite and not
simply as a means TO personal ends
for a few Surely II this Is the work
which the women Of the Anti-lynching
society is endeavoring TO do they de-
serve the hearty commendatiOn and
support OF all persons Of whatever
race or political creed who favor equal
justice and protection for all American
citizens.
In a recent circular letter issued by
the society 10 Afro-American voters
particularly attention is called to some
Of the unfulflled pledges made by the
Republican national convention In its
platform four years ago in Chicago.
Portions OF the platform alluded to are
the following: We demand equal JUS
tice for all men without regard to race
or color. We declare again and with
out reservation for the enforcement In
letter and spirit OF the thirteenth.
to the constitution, which were design
ed for the protection and advancement
Of the Negro. and condemn all devices
that have for their real aim bis dis
franchlsement for reason Of color
alone as unfair. un-American and re-
pugnant to the supreme law OF the
land.
The Republican party has been for
more than ffty years the consistent
! friend Of the American Negro. II gave
him freedom and citizenship. II wrote
into the organic law the declarations
that proclaim for bis civil and political
rights and believes today that his
noteworthy progress in intelligence.
industry and good citizenship has earn
ed the encouragement Of the nation"
As the party has not enforced the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution or
condemned all devices (advisedlyl
against the Acknowledgement OF color
/ ed citizens nor enforced or made laws
10 prevent their being lynched. the So
ciety asks for what purpose such dec
laratiols we're made.
