FIRST THINGS

The first sewing machine patent re- corded was granted to Thomas Saint, an English inventor, by the British government 122 years ago today. Saints machine had some of the fea- lures of the later successful contriv- ances, but it had one fatal defect It wouldn't sew! The inventor who first devised a real working machine for sewing was Bartholemy Thimenier, a poor tailor of St. Etienne, France. who obtained letters patent in his native

The trolley company has no moral right, and we question if it has legal right, to take on a passen- ger with the fare in his hand to whom it cannot give seat. The task is obviously that of the company to work the operation of the cars out The rights of the public are as clear as daylight.

District Judge, Clerk, Record
er and Superintendent Of
Schools Are Conceded
to Republicans.
COUNTY ATTORNEY RACE
Judges and Clerks Declare
That There Are Many
More Scratched Tickets
Than Ever Before.

At noon today 1t was definitely de-
termined that the following men had
been elected: w. 8. Hamilton, dis
trict Judge; G. B. Lake, clerk; Ed.
Vaughn, recorder; and e. G. Lynn,
county superintendent of schools.
These men are all on the republi-
can side of the ticket and made a
whirlwind campaign, especially the
two former, who have been SO occu-
pied with the affairs Of their respec-
tive Offices that they have had no
time to get out into the rural district
and conduct their own campaign. The
faith that their supporters had in
them was demonstrated at the polls
where handsome majorities were roll
ed up for them.
Vaughn and Lynn also polled strong
votes and their election is conceded by
their opponents, it was reported. Both
these men had hard fights on theiY
hands and only the hardest work dur
| ing the past few days put them
where they could stop the democratic
tidal wave.
Lee and Hamilton, candidates fol-
Legislative ho1ors, are running neck
and neck and indications are that
they will be that way until the last
vote is counted. Twenty precincts
show them running within few votes
of each other and it is proving one Of
the prettiest contests of the election
Both parties are claiming the Office
and both seem to have a perfect RICH,
| to the claim from the returns nov
available.
/ w. R. C. Kerdrick and e. w. Nc
Manus are putting up tight race fol
county attorney and the supporters o.
Kendrick insist that he will overcome
/ the lead his opponent has gained
when the final returns are in. In an.
event the race is going to be clos
and winner cannot be picked al
yet, but at the present writing NC
| Manus has the lead and in all prob
ability will be elected.
Politicians and the judges and
clerks Of the election boards are
unanimous in their statement thai
there has never before in the history
of Keokuk been SO many scratched
| tickets. This is the reason the re
turns are SO late in being given out
A very small percentage of the bal
| lots were cast for the straight party
ticket by any of the voters, say the
boards and the ballots are beins

Kennedy Elder

Lee county did it." was the state
ment made to The Gate City this aft
ernoon by Mayor j. F. Elder, when
questioned about the election
DO you concede the election to Mr..
Kennedy?' he was asked.
There is no need to concede the
election until all the returns are in,
but SO far as am able to learn, the
sentiment is very much against me-
was the reply.
The mayor was sitting in his office
at the city hall in company with Com
missioner Thomas P. Gray and John
Dewitt of the Keokuk Industrial AS
ISOLATION. when he was approached
for statement regarding the almost
certain result of the congressional
fight.
II do not see how I can say any
thing yet" declared the mayor, for
have no definite information, but
from reports that I hear, it looks like
sure defeat for me. Lee county is the
cause of it. All the other counties
in the district are satisfactory, but
the sentiment in this county is decid
edly against me- H
Close Race for Auditor.
The race between Smith and Mey
ers for auditor is getting close as the
returns come in. 1t is not definite
just which will be victorious as sew:
eral precincts were still to be heard
from when The Gate City went to
press. Smith, republican, has a good
chance to win.
Judge w. S. Hamilton was elect
ed by handsome majority.
The late returns indicated that Gil
bert Lee would probably be elected
representative.

REPUBLICAN candidates
WILL TAKE FOUR OFFICES

counted Just as they come, without
being sorted.
Late this afternoon 1t was claimed
by the Kennedy managers that their
candidate would carry the city or
Keokuk by about five hundred major
ity. They also say that the district
will go for Kennedy by six hundred.
Kennedy Reelected.
Congressman C A. Kennedy, against
the greatest odds and democratic
avalanche, succeeded in his fight for
reelection. 1t is estimated by his
managers that he will have plural
ity of about 1900. Later returns may
change these figures but the lead of
Congressman Kennedy will not be ov-
ercome. Grail, the progressive candl-
date. did not carry a single county in
the district. It was reported that he
would have large majority in JEFF
ferson, his home county, but late re
turns award the county to Kennedy
by 100 majority. The following esti-
mated majorities are reasonably ac-
curate from the seven counties in the
district:

APPARENTLY there is no com.
munity SO small but that at
times it can furnish an example
OF what lack of early training
can do to direct the steps OF
youth toward ruin and destruc.
ton. Many times, it is true, the
small boy left to himself, il he has
ambition and habits of industry,
develops strong character and
good citizenship, but too often
the weak willed youth, drifting
into bad company, idling away
from the guiding influence OF
home and parents, becomes an
incorrigible and ends as q liabil-
ity instead OF an asset to
society. The young lad, when
he knows no better, must con.
stantly be warned, guided or
driven away from the border
land OF wrongdoing. This takes
continuous teaching and watch
fulness, the providing Of good
precepts to the active young
mind and useful tasks or play
to employ idle hours and teach
habits OF industry. Then, as
the lad grows older, he should
try to assume the responsibility
for his own conduct, strive
always to do what is right,
rather than what he knows to
be wrong, steer clear OF the
8 lipwrecks and derelicts, seek Tor
a life work and emulate, not the
ruffian character of some dime
novel, but some worthy histori-
cal character, who has lived a
lie OF usefulness and helpfulness
to mankind.

The opposition of the miners
and mining companies OF Idaho
to the proposed reduction Of the
tariff on lead is q fair instance of
the difficulties that confront any
attempt to reduce the tariff on
anything. 1t is argued on one
hand that reduction OF the tariff
would cause importation Of ore
from other countries where labor
is cheap, resulting in lowering Of
wages and closing Of mines in
this country, and on the other
hand it is argued that the pur-
pose OF reducing the tariff could
be defeated by the lead trust
which would control the imports,
keep up the present high prices
and add to the profits what is
now paid out on account OF the
tariff, so that the people would
really receive no benefit from
tariff reduction. Virtually the
same kind Of arguments are
being advanced against reduc-
ton OF the tariff on wool, sugar,
cloth manufactures, steel, etc.,
all along the line. II the trusts
or big business, instead OF the
common people, are to be the
beneficiaries, what good will
tariff reduction do? The tariff |
on the necessaries should be /!
reduced. The government does
not need SO much income, for it
has been repeatedly stated in
congress that the. government
could be run for $500, 100000
less than at present, If extrava-
gance was eliminated. But, il
the people are to be benefited
by tariff reduction, the govern
ment must fix the prices instead
OF leaving it to the trusts.

The many friends Of H. E. Caine,
who about three years ago was an
operator 10 the N. P. depot Of Athol,
but who has been gradually going up
the ladder, will be glad to learn of
another promotion. We quote the
following from the Sunday Spokes
man Review: "Coeur d'Alene, Ida.
ho,-H. e. Caine, Northern Pacific
| agent, is to be removed from here,
having received the appointment of
emlgrant and Industrial agent for the
Montana territory, with headquarters
probably at Butte. He will assume
his new responsibilities within few
days. Immediately upon receipt of
the news in this city, the business
mems association took the matter up
and made an attempt to have Agent
Caine retained in Occur d'Alene, so
satisfactory has been his work and
association with the public. Mr..
Cain came to this city little more
than a year ago from Creston, Wash,
and it was largely through his efforts
that the large ice house was con
structed. Also the securing Of better
freight rates for the city can be
credited to his efforts"
Mr.. and Mrs. Cain have a great
