Tribute In America.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Beginning
at noon today, the vast machinery of
the Salvation Army throughout the
United States was last and solemn
prayer services planned to continue
until four o'clock this afternoon.
Within these four hours, London time,
the body Of the late General William
Booth, founder and head of the Saliva
ton Army, was inferred in Abney
Park cemetery.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-08-29

women Of indomnitable courage, OF
great imagination, OF sterling worth
and strong hearts to leave the com.
forts OF home and plant new com
munities upon the virgin soil OF an al
most unknown territory.
Iowa was fortunat, in her pioneers,
IN that they recognized the two great
forces that are essential to the es-
tablishment of civilized communities
and free government, education and
religion. Without the one no self
governing community can long en-
dure. Without the other no lasting
civilization can long be maintained
So they planted their schools and
their churches beside their homes. AS
result the state has given to the ma
ton long line OF distinguished sons,
many of whom came from this city
and county. They laid the founda
lions right and the superstructure
has been firm.
Iowa, the Ideal state.
This state has no large tiles, where
wealth is concentrated with a result
ing tendency toward luxurious and ex-
travagant living. 1t is but step from
this to corruption in business and
politics. And 1t Is the zane and sensi-
bic life that is led in the comparatively
small cities and rural communities Of
Iowa that have kept the state free
| from scandal and shame. She has no
legislative jackpots. She has no sen
atorial seats acquired through bribery
and corruption of her legislatures. No
muckrakers write Of tn, shame of her
cities. The public life of Iowa is
clean. because it reflects the private
life of her citizens.
Rejoicing as much as any present
citizen In the splendid development
now going on here, Mr.. Craig extend
ed greetings from many former resi-
dents, now living on the Pacific COAST,
who are watching the progress going
on here with great interest, and who
are confident that the fondest dreams
of Keokuk and Lee county will be
/ fully realized.
Among the oldest settlers in Lee
county are Capt Washington Galland
who came to Iowa in 1929. Mr.. James
Cruikshank, president Of the Old Set
i tiers Association was born in this
county near Clay Grove in 1885. Mrs
Virginia Wilcox WINS came to Lee
county in 1870, Capt j. F. Daugherty
in 1912, and Mrs. Elizabeth Leighton
came in 1913.
This is the oldest settlers associa
ton in the middle west having held
annual meetings for forty-two con.
secutive years.

Joseph R. Frailey of Fl. Madison. Mr..
Hugh H. Craig, of Riverside, Calf,
gave an address and said in part:
This is day for looking back

count OF our surroundings and ask
ourselves how great debt we owe to
the sturdy men and faithful women,
who years ago, left the comforts of
the older communities and brought
civilization westward. We are ever
ready to pay tribute to the soldier. to
crown with laurel the statesman, to
recognize the worth and merit of
those who have worthily wrought in
literature, in science and in art. But
too seldom is there word of praise
for those who have pushed the from

Glorious Iowa.

Iowa was created territory in
1888 and became state IN 1916. She
then had population Of 100000, now
she has TWO and one half millions,
she then had a valuation of $1O,oOO,-
100000, she now has over half bill
lion. We are rich in the products OF
our soil beyond the dreams of avar-
ice, the value Of single corn crop
would surpass the tabled wealth Of
Croesus. Corn is king in Iowa. "the
beautiful And it was the pioneers
and old settlers who made all this
grandeur OF our state possible. All
honor is due to you who have brought
to the present generation this golden
heritage.

Old settlers and pioneers. And thank
God some Of you have lived to see

help commemorate the work in which
you bore 80 honorable part.
We rejoice that the city Of Keokuk
has been the place to welcome us to-
day, a city filled with beautiful
homes, and an intelligent. hospitable
and scholarly people, situated on the
banks OF the greatest river In the
world. What would Joliet, Marquette
and La Sale have to say were they
to sail down that mighty stream to-
day in birch bark canoe and run
upon that magnificent structure that
the ingenuity of man is causing to
span Its broad bosom. They, the
forerunners Of what the future might
bring, in two and one half centuries
would simply stand astounded and
electrified.
The man who conceived and plan.
ned this mighty work and who is
carrying it to completion, is the pro.
duct Of the soil of this empire that
the pioneers have founded, and his
name will go down to future genera.

J settlers, who are they? They are
the heroes and heroines who founded
a state and laid deep the foundations
Of the grandest empire the sun OF
heaven has ever shone upon.
When Iowa shall be SO old that her
conspicuous events are no longer mat
tiers of individual recollection but OF
tradition, when she shall come to

found here wilderness and made
her a state occupy the most notable
page.
You, who came with your energy,
your courage, who invaded the soil

new civilization, who broke the prai-
RE, and bridged the stream, and
built the school house and erected
the church spire, you are the foun-
ders Of our empire. Yours are the
names that will emblazon the his
toric page and be engraven on our
gates. One of the greatest epic poems
ever written recounts in stately verse
the history of him who quilt the
walls of lofty Rome. Our Aeneid, il

who erected upon its soil great

TROUBLES WERE FOUND
IN SET OF LOADED DICE
Horse Branch Man and Com
paniOn Mix Up With An
Old Man.

The Louisville Times OF Wednes-
day says:
Mike Noonan, an old man en-
ployed as fireman at the railroad
engine house, about 100 yards west
of the Seyenth-street Union Sta
ton. is in a precarious condition at
81. Joseph's Hospital and two young
labOrers in a bridge gang are in
jail because one of the youngsters
bought a Pair of loaded dice early
to-day and won some money with
them.
Noonan's skull probably is frac-
tured and he will be operated on
to-day. He was not able to talk
and the only story of the assault
was given by Chester Foster and
Frank Crane, the two laborers.
Foster lives on a farm near
Horse Branch and he came to
Louisville Sunday with a number
OF other men TO work in a bridge
gang. He rented a room at Cranes
home, 1885 Tyler avenue, and the
two men borrowed enough money
last night TO get drunk. About
o'clock the stores closed in the
neighborhood of Seventh street,
they said.
They met man, told him their
troubles and he told them he had
a pair of dice. So the three travel
ed together. They went to the en-
CINE house TO get drinking water
and soon started a game of dice
with Noonan. The fireman lost all
his money in a few minutes. Fos-
ter said they quarreled and Noonan
struck him twice with a poker. To
prove il, he showed a cash over his
left eye and a welt on his back.
He took the poker from Noonan
and struck him on the head. An
hour later he and Crane were ar
rested at Cranes home, Foster be-
ing charged with malicious assault
with intent to kill and Crane getting
off on a charge of drunkenness.
The more interesting character es-
capped arrest The case will not be
tried until more is learned of Moo
mans condition. He lives at 62S
South Seventeenth street, and for
merly was employed as baggage

require at least six months to do
this work.
Goodpaster goes further in ex-
planning to the Governor the du-
ties of the Insurance Commission
er, saying that he is clothed with
ample power and authority, and
his failure to collect legal fees
should not result in a loss to the
State.
AS for the two per cent. or one
third of one per cent. tax due on
the premiums, Goodpaster says that
no attempt was made to keep a rec
ord book. and in the absence of any
book, the tax returns OF the insur-
ance companies were used, and
when no tax return was found, the
amount was calculated from the an
nual statement made by the compa-
ny and filed in the Office.
The most severe criticism in his
report is made by Goodpaster in
connection with the two per cent
tax investigation. He says that he
found that the reports of Insur-
ance Commissioner Bell were full
OF errors. inaccurate and practically
worthless as a guide in this investi-
CATION; that companies doing bus
mess in the State were omitted
from the report, and that the
amount of taxes to be paid by the
companies did not agree with the
amounts shown by the tax returns.
