MANY REASONS
FOR REJOICING.
Great Water Power Has Crossed the
Half Way Mark Toward Compile
ton and Has Been
Marvel to All.
IS WORTH ADVERTISING
Everything Should be Done to Give
Greatest Possible Publicity to
This Enterprlse-so;ss sus-
gestions.

Keokuk SMILED out of the old year
into the new and it was a sincere, up
lifting smile. Never before has this
city had more reasons for rejoicing
for having her cherished hopes for the
future realized. The great water pow
er has crossed the halfway mark to-
wards its completion, and the work
has been the marvel OF all who have
examined it's wonderful engineering
and mechanism. No locality in the
old world or the new has Witnessed
a greater work. 1t is something to
inspect, something to talk, something
to advertise. 1t pays to largely adj
vertise good goods, finely manufac-
tured articles and after the public at
tention is called to the quality of the
goods and wares advertised, the goods
advertise themselves if they are gen.
uine good goods. The great dam and
water power are the goods that Will
advertise themselves after the public's
attention is called to them. They are
genuine goods-not an atom OF shoddy
in all their gigantic makeup.
Then everything possible should be
done to give the greatest publicity to
the magnificent enterprise, the tower
| ing height to keokuk's local pride and
the foundation upon which she builds
substantial hopes for the future.
"All work and no play makes Jack
dull boy" yet make a slight play on
and an apparent reversal of the old
quotation and make it read: All talk
and no work makes city partia
failure With the advertising keo
kuk people should adopt follow III
plan by doing. This is written in ne
spirit of reproof or criticism Keokul
people have done nobly and are con
tinuing as heroes in the strife. The.
have exerted themselves in season
and out of season to take advantage 0
the favorable conditions and what /
said here is presented, Lest We fol
GET and allow our ardor to cool jus

delay of Keokuk's further REASONABLE
= hopes.

Asks Square Deal for Union Labor

Dor. Bryan says:
AS might have been expected the

OF bankers generally-thes hasten to
hurl broadsides at all who earn their
bread in the sweat Of the brow. This
is unfair in the extreme. The McNa'
maras have been guilty of an awful
crime aMl all law abiding citizens re
joice that punishment has been metet

Provision is made for the passage
of the Mississippi through twenty-fonr
spans ef the bridge structure at the
Illinois shore, where the Golfer dam
has been removed from around the

that course very much. It is many
hundred feet from the end of the

lis covered with floe of thick ice.
Away over by the Illinois bank is a
little, narrow lane of water flowing
through the spans, with a clear stretch
