Proposition Now Before the Council
to Have All Removed Ex-
cept Iron Trolley
Poles.
ALSO OVERHEAD SIGNS
Commissioner Gray Thinks Time Will
Come When None But Elec-
trio Signs VIII be
Left.

There is now being considered by
the city commissioners the matter OF
taking steps to insure the removal of
every pole on the Main street side
walks in the UP town business dis
trict with the exception Of the iron
poles after their installation this
spring that hold up the trolley wire
and carry the electric current. Pres
ent sign posts and hitching posts
would all be removed.
In addition there has been discussed
the proposition of removing every
sign on Main street that extends over
the sidewalk with the exception of
illuminated signs The telephone
poles will also go. There are now but
few telephone poles on Main street
and when the present work is finished
the number of poles in the downtown
district will be greatly reduced.
When asked If there would be an
order issued by the council calling for
the removal of all poles, Commissioner
of Public Safety Gray said that the
commissioners would not make" the
people do 1t but that he believed that
in time an understanding would be
reached probably soon, when such
would be the case and that in time,
but not during the life of the present
council, there would be no signs over
the sidewalks on Main street except
| illuminated ones.
Last fall a petition was prepared
for the council. signed by a large num-
Der of business men on Main street,
calling for cleaning of the street
and for the removal of hitching posts
and an order forbidding deliveries
through front doors, giving that as a
cause for the dirty streets.

FIRM INDEBTED IN
SUM OF $4,000
Petition Filed by Creditors OF the
scottMadden Company in
District Court.

The International Bank, of ST.
Louis, the keokuk Savings Bank and
other corporations or firms who are
creditors of the Scott Madden Iron
Works Of this city have flied a petit
ton in the district court in which
they say that the defendant is indebt-
ed to them and others about $4,000
and that the company is insolvent at
the present time. They also stated
that the company has about $31 900
of stock of heavy machinery on hand
which would sell in due course os
time for about $4,000 but that if it
were sold quickly the machinery
would bring but comparatively
small amount of money,
The petition says that the firm
deals in heavy machinery for which
much money must be invested and
that sudden depression in the mar
ket for heavy machinery has made
the company insolvent They say
that n accordance with an agreement
made in February between the credi.
tors and the company that the stock
on hand be disposed of SO as to bring
the most money and not at forced
sale.
The petition states that it was the
sense of the meeting of the creditors
that J. N. D. Dickson be appointed
receiver and that he manage the plan
and keep it going concern.

the courts Of the Empress Eugene,
who introduced the most ample skirts
that were ever worn, and revelations
lately made by one of Queen Victoria's
court ladies do not tend to prove that
voluminous fiounces we're defense
against satan and his cohorts.
It Is not the cut of a gown so much
as the purity of the heart that beats
underneath it that spells modesty or
immodesty. The eyes, the lips re-
veal more than any garment. A wom-
an draped from the ground to her
chin may outrage every instinct OF
purity and self-respect.
Why is the sight of satin-skinned
shoulder or soft rounded arm an Of
tense to some people? Why should a
white neck be any more perilous to
look upon than a rose-leaf cheek?
Why will man who makes a most
unholy spectacle of himself in a
bathing costume, go into commissions
when his wife appears in a decollette
dinner gown?
Undue exposure or the f1gure, or eX-
posture for exposures sake, engenders
disgust and SO defeats its own pur-
pose But why women should be
ashamed CT the most wonderful ma
chine that has ever been made and
called immodest If she for one nom
emit allows any part of that machine
except her face and hands to be seen
is something that / cannot find out.
If the gentlemen who are so anx-
ious to throw safeguard around the
virtue and chastity of women by
bundling them up In clothes will turn
their attention to enacting laws that
will provide the working girl wien
enough money to cover her nakedness
they will be doing a great deal more
toward preserving the chastity and
virtue Of the coming generation.

Daily Stock Letter.

lGopyrlght, 1918, by New York Even
ing Post.]
NEW YORK, March 19.--Today's
stock market was such as to puzzle
even Wall street. 1t undoubtedly
showed, on the one hand, the extent
to which the stock exchange was ready
to jump in fright at either substance
or shadow, and, on the other hand,
the extent to which an organized
bear party is seeking material for
either side. 1t also showed distrust
of "rumors" and a capacity for quick
recovery. During most of the day the
market was wholly dominated by a
report (Which protested to be OFFICIALLY
that a suit under the Sherman law was
about to be entered against the
Smelling combination. On this the
shares OF that company broke four
points and other stock yielded with tt
In due course, it was announced that
the story had no official basis, and
that no such suit was In present con-
temptation. Thereupon smelling
shares recovered more than two per
cent and in the urgent rush to cover
short sales" elsewhere, stocks such
as Reading and Union Pacific more
than regained all their earlier loss and
the general market turned strong.
Possibly Wall street was left at the
| close in doubt as to what would hap
pen hereafter in the smelling matter
This, 1t may be observed in passing
lis situation which has existed fol-
some time past; for the stock ex
change has known that the policies OF
this concern, in its not very long dis
tant history, have made its position il
such regards bit precarious. 1t was
somewhat noteworthy that Europe's
stock markets held up Unexpectedly
well, and displayed no alarm over the
Greek kings assassination.
