POSTAL MAIL CLERKS.

The wooden mail car will soon be
a thing of the past. When President
Taft, ever sensitive to the needs of
humanitarian legislation, said that
service in connection with trains OF
a railway Is an extra hazardous bust
ness, and may well call for govern
ment supervision to secure safety and
reduce danger to employees" and the
American Federation OF Labor backed
up the organization and agitation OF
the railway mail clerks themselves,
congress was awakened to the vital
necessity of steel mail cars for the
safety of railway mail clerks and the
United States mails.
In the postoffice appropriation bill
this year provision is made for steel
railway mail cars and calls for bids
for their construction are included
This means, in few years there
will be steel railway mail cars only

Cooper Lake.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Napoleon once said: THE nation
that CONTROLS the Mississippi river
will rule the world" That was a
great prophesy Did he forsee the
great industrial center made possible
by the Des Moines rapids, the nav
agable river and the rich agricultural
valley that would attract millions of
the earth's best people. Edison
worked out a great thought and gave
us the Edison graphophone. McCor-
mick worked out great thought and
gave us the Mccormick reaper Eads
worked out great thought and gave
US the great Ead's bridge that spans
the Mississippi river at st. Louis
A still greater thought conceived in
that master mind of Mr.. Hugh L.
Cooper, to not only span the Missis-
sippi river with great bridge, but
harness the great river and turn 1t
into energy that will run our factor
les, pull our trains, light our cities
and give us beautiful lake forty
miles long-the finishing touch to
the beauty and charm of the Missis-
sippi valley. No name. sounds so
good to ME as Cooper's Lake; and
when his life's work is ended let no
monument like General Curtis or
Chief Keokuk's be suggested as fit
ting memorial to his memory. but let
us point with pride to Cooper's Lake
and tell our children and grand chill
dren of his great achievements that
they may be an inspiration to coming
generations.

THE sMILER.

THE SMiLER.
There's an idiotic fellow, whom |
meet where'er l go;
He's the crazy kind Of fellow all the
little children know.
You wouldn't think him silly from his
manner nor his style;
Still, it seems, he must be foolish, for
3 he always wears a smile.
When the way is long and weary and
the load is hard to lear;
When you're weighted down with
trouble and there's no one
seems to care,
That's the time this foolish fellow
comes a-singing up the road,
With word and smile to cheer you
and to help you with your load.
With his smiling Buck UP, partner,
cause we're bound to pull 1t
through;
Though your loads too big for one
man, it's a little load for two
And you feel yourself uplifted with
tuc oli ChSln W pay souA PoA y
With his arm to aid your body and
his smile to brace your heart.
No, he hasn't got ambition, but his
lifework never ends;
He knows million people, and he's
got a million friends.
He doesn't strive for fame and wealth,
he hasn't got goal;
I-e's just a simple fellow, with Gods
sunshine in his soul.
Yes. he's just foolish fellow, with
the eyes that cannot see
All the misery and sadness that are
plain to you and me,
But he knows the joy of living, all thai
makes the world worth while:
And I'd like to be as foolish as the
man behind the smile.
