Manss' Stirring Talk.

At the conclusion of Mr. DeWitt's
remarks, Mr.. Joy with few we'll
timed remarks presented William H.
Manss, of Chicago, formerly OF the c.,
B. & @. industrial department, whom
Mr.. Joy introduced as no stranger to
many, having visited the city on many
occasions during his occupancy of the
position with c., B. & @. railroad,
being known to Keokuk people. He
was greeted w.t. a hearty welcome by
the audience.
Mr.. Manss began his address with
an eloquent tribute to the spirit shown
on the occasion. to the galaxy of
stars behind him, referring to the
large number of the members of the
Keokuk association who occupied the
seats on the stage, and the splendid
audience Of men and women who sat
in the audience before him. He then
referred to the hospitality and civic
spirit shown at the directors meet
ing in the afternoon. He said he had
known John Dewitt for number of
years in the railroad business and the
company never had a more capable
or faithful man. Keokuk was fortu-
nate in securing the services of man
who gave up a promising position to
act as manager CT its Industrial asso-
] citation and the city was warmly con.
graduated on securing the services OF
SO able and competent man. He
also extended congratulations to Keo-
lcuk on the realization Of her early
dream. The citizens wondered and
worked and dreamed and now they
have the extatic pleasure of seeing
the real vision of what they had
dreamed years ago-the vision they
dreamed of and longed for. 1t is a
realization that will make Keokuk not
a by-word, but great commercial
and industrial city. He quoted figures
and dates to show the marvellous
growth since 1870 of the percentage
of power used for Industrial purposes
in the United States He compared II
with the growth and the total amount
now used in France and England
which comparison was greatly il
favor of this country. In this con
nection he spoke of the homes thit
electric power would light and the
lines of suburban railroads it woult
furnish power in the future, all to the
advantage and upbuilding of Keokuk
Then he referred to the number O
factories-high grade factories, tha
would be induced to come here by the
cheapness of the power offered.

Advertising.


MIR. Joy has explained our advertis-
ing contracts with various magazines.
As might be expected the replies have
come from all classes of firms and in
dividuals, from the curiosity seeker
and laborer seeking employment to
firms wishing to find a good location
for business or manufacturing pur>
poses. We have replies from men who
would like to build houses for work
men to sell on easy payments when
the field is ripe for that line of WORK,
from men who have thought that
Keokuk might be good place to start
a school some time, from men VINO
would like to come here and manufac-
ture building material after we have
made q good start, from manufacturers
who are at the present time making
investigations that may lead to some
thing next year, from several factories
that have asked US to take the matter
UP with them few months later, and
| from some who may change their loca.
tion this year if certain obstacles can
be overcome. We have received about
500 replies in all to our magazine ad
vertisement to date.

Address by Mr.. Miller.

What has been accomplished by the
Chicago Association of Commerce, and
how Keokuk might follow along the
same lines, were dwelt upon by Man
ager H. F. Miller, who said:

KEOKUK NEEDS A HOUSE CLEANING
MORE Than It DOES NEW INDUSTRIES

4 was JuTuSu over u lie luu uoCi IA
agent of the Chicago Association OF
Commerce and SO it went from bad 70
worse until / was thoroughly appalled,
at the immensely of the task that not
only confronted me but that confronts
any organization that undertakes work
of this kind The most sanguine and
least conservative OF these experts
told me that under no circumstances
should We expect to get any tangible
results within six months and most
of them placed the probationary per-
iod at a year or more The reason 1t
takes so long to build city is be-
cause, no matter how much Individual
ly we want the town to grow, it takes
a long time to learn to pull together
and to keep on pulling together. We
have had some valuable pointers ana
leads from the inside and some from
the outside and we are following them
up and will make the most Of them.
But we are not getting enough. Every
travelling man that gees out from this
city should be walking delegate for
Keokuk and try to interest somebody
in coming here and starting factory.
II
How Prohibitive Prices May Work.
ut is needless to say that the kim
of faith in Keokuk that we need is not
the kind that might lead a man to put
a prphibitive price on factory site.
From what experience have had with
those who have expressed desire to
locate here, am convinced that our
friends the outsiders, to whom We
must look for the future growth of the
city, are not willing to be exploited.
! II We fail to find factory site where
we need it, at a reasonable price, some
one will have to contribute to make up
! the difference and anything of this
kind cripples our ability to render
other financial assistance. And in this
connection it must be remembered
that it takes money to move factory
and some help is usually required be-
side factory site, even if it is furn-
ished free. 1t may be additional credit
or the sale of stock. but all this takes
money.
Now with regard to what has been
accomplished The first thing we hao
to do was to let manufacturers and
the people of the United States gen.
Ierally know about the water power and
the advantages of Keokuk as a place
to carry on the business of manufac
turing. We have done that in several
ways.

Not the bringing OF factories with |
their thousands Of employees but the
making OF Keokuk more habitable for
an influx OF new people and new bust
ness, was the theme OF speakers at
the general meeting of the Keokuk
Industrial Association at the Grand
opera house last evening. It was
pointed out that the great work before
the citizens Of Keokuk is to make their
oity attractive. healthy to live in and
wholesome In It's recreation for the
working man.
The meeting YVES attended by about
four hundred people, including less
than fifty ladies. Those who expected
to hear the city praised were rudely
disappointed. Both visiting and local
speakers Jared the audience by thrust
after thrust at conditions here. Mr..
Manss told the people that Main street
was too dirty to look at, and what the
entire city needed was general clean
ing UP. DIR. McMichael said conditions
IN the factories were better than con-
ditions in the public schools. He
pointed out that not the slightest at
tention Is being given to ventilation
and temperature for the children.
Many Of them are hollow faced and
pale. The death rate from tuberculo-
sis Is thirteen per cent-three per
cent higher than in Chicago. which
is considered high. Are these condi-
tions the kind that attract the manu-
facturer who is looking after, the. In
terests of his working men? was asked
OF the people.
What keokuk Should DO.
Some of the things Keokuk should
do, according to the speakers: I'm
prove sanitary conditions in general,
both throughout the streets and the
schools; form woman's club which
will take an interest In civic affairs
and which will pass censorship on
motion picture shows and the like, and
do many other things In harmony
with these ideas. Then Keokuk will
be ready for new factories.
Mr.. Manss, in his address, outlined
an industrial zone which Keokuk
should establish with proper switching
facilities. and dwelt upon other things
which the city should do in preparing
for It's growth Of business and popu
lat1on.
President Joy urged that the people
get together and demand more things
for the city, that ordinances having tt
do with improving the streets, better
ing sanitary conditions in schools ant
other civic matters be enforced. H,
appealed to the people for a big clean
ing-up day In May when everyon
shall turn out and do their share Ii
housekeeping the city as one house
cleans his home.
