PERKINS AT ARMAGEDDoN

Harvester trust. concerning whom the
Kansas City Journal comments as fol-
lows:
I'm addition to standing at Arma
geddon, Mr.. Perkins must also sit in
Wall street. However much his mind
may be occupied in helping the
plain people, and III advancing the
cause of social justice, it must
not be forgotten that Mr.. Perkins is
also a director in the Northern
Securities company, formerly indict-

City bank, owned by the Standard

is a director in the International
Harvester company, under Indictment

States Steel corporation, under indict

in dozen other big business enter
prises that may be indicted tomorrow.
In fact. there are few corporation
enterprises with which Mr.. Perkins
is prominently identified that are not
IN trouble of some sort with the

in November it will be with this
record of unexampled good times and
broad national development. Some
things the party has accomplished
were not included in it's pledges, be-
cause they we're not forseeen as issues
of the near future.
Among the events not looked for
was a war with Spain. 1t was
ably carried through and paid for.
The building of the Panama Canal
was outside the range of definite
calculation in 1896. It is nearing
completion, and half it's cost so far
he's been met from current treasury
funds. Outlying possessions, sudden
ly acquired, have been put in good
working order. The difficult secondary
war in the PHILIPPINES was we'll
managed. Among the definite promises
of 1896 redeemed are the gold standard
and a restored protective policy.
Exports Of American manufactures
have doubled in ten years, Agriculture
and mining have similarly advanced.
A surplus in the treasury is main
tained. These are but a few of the
big items of Republican achieve
ment since 1896 Is it the part OF
wisdom to punish such a party? Why
not thank good fortune for the
privilege of keeping it il power p

SOME MEN AFTER FORTY

An eminent western authority
states that nothing worth mentioning
happens to a man after he has reached
the age of forty and that life savors
of the doldrums. The eminent west
ern authority probably had to have
something to say, so he said that, but
the eminent western authority is
mistaken, as many eminent authorities
before him have been.
A person has only to glance over
the list of things that have happened
to one of our eminent acto's n. G..
Goodwin, since he passed the age of
forty and that, indeed, was some time
ago. Enough things of an interesting
nature have happened to Mr.. Good,
win. financial. matrimonial and
theatrical, to fill volume of romance,
He and Fate have bsen tangled up in
a jiu jitsu match that has been the
constant wonder of the world. Then
one might glance at The Colonel
What has happened to him since he
passed the forty mark has kept the
world agog with excitement, to say
nothing of what is liable to happen to
him during the current year
Mr.. Taft is also a living refutation
of the eminent western authority S
statement So is Uncle Joe In
fact, nothing did happen to Uncle Joe
until he was more than forty Things
began to happen to Mr.. Bryan shortly
before he was forty and have been
happening ever since in an endless
procession And what has happened
to Mr.. Bryan has certainly been excIt-
ing enough for the most ardent
adventurer Uncle Andy Carnegie
and J. P. Morgan didn't have any ex-
citement at all until they had passed
the forties and both of them are now
constantly in happenings up to
their necks.
The world is full of men between
forty and seventy who are keyed up
to a pitch of excitement which would
wreck younger men and who are doing
things worth while. Plainly the
eminent authority is mistaken.
Eminent authorities most frequently
are. Grand Rapids Press.

BOARD VOTES FOR

by Board of Education
at Last Nights
Meeting.

School Buildings Now
Condemned.
ASK SPECIAL ELECTION

Without dissenting vote the mem
bers OF the board of education. in their
regular meeting last night, decided to
once more put the new school propo-
sition up to the voters of this city.
The unanimous decision of the board
was for the circulation of petitions
! among the voters of Keokuk, to secure
the proper number of signatures for a
special election to decide whether or
not this city shall issue bonds for the
construction of four new ward school
buildings, the maximum cost to be
100000. After the resolution had
been adopted, Chairman Hughes nam
ed j. q. Baker, w. ]. Roberts and
John A. Dunlap as a committee TO cir
culate petitions and to make their re-
port accordingly.
Those who took part in the discus
| sion relative to the issuance of bonds
for the proposed four new buildings,
felt that the forward movement would
be somewhat handicapped, owing to
the fact that the voters of Keokuk had
turned down school propositions on
two previous occasions recently. But
the members of the board felt that if
conditions were put squarely before
the citizens of Keokuk, as they had
mot been before, the people would be
in favor of the new school buildings
The proposed buildings would replace
those of today known as the Terrence,
Wells, Carey and Garfield schools.

action of the people of Keokuk in per-
hitting children to use the third floor
OF the Garfield school. DR.. Dorsey ap-
peared before the board and after he
had pointed out a number of de-
ficiencies in the Garfield building, it
was unanimously voted to abandon
the third floor of the building immed-
lately, and the change will be made
III the next week or ten days,
DR.. Dorsey stated that in the
first place, the third floor of the build
ing referred to was nothing less than
a fire trap, and that it was an outrage
to force children to climb to the third
floor Of such building. DR.. Dorsey
urged the abandonment of the third
floor as precaution against calam-
tiles by fire, and for the protection of
the health of growing children. Prop
er quarters for the children of the
two rooms on the third floor of the
Garfield building will be secured in
the next few days. After DR.. Dorsey
had referred to the detriment that is
liable to follow such physical exertion
as climbing to the top of three story
school building by children of certain
ages, 1t was decided to abandon the
third floors of the Wells, Terrence and
| Carey school, as soon as possible
along with Garfield.
