JUMPS ON RUSTY SIDEWALK NAIL

While working on we'll digging ma
chine a Minnesota man jumped upon a
rusty sidewalk spike. The nail drove
part of his black wooden sock far up
into his foot. He removed as much of
the sock as he could, put on Allen g
Ulcerine Salve, and kept right on with
his work. The salve drew out parts of
the sock and all other poisons and in a
week his foot was healed up.
This salye is one of the oldest rene
dies in America and since 1869 has been
known as the only salve powerful
enough to cure chronic ulcers and old
sores of long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by draw
ing out the poisons and healing the sore
from the bottom up. 1t is so powerful
that it heals new cuts and sores in one

liniments take. And it heals scalds

LINCOLN VOTERS,

Now that the Fremont Voters or
ganization In this district has passed
out Of existence because of the adj
yanced age and increasing feebleness
OF It's few remaining members, It Is
proposed to organize Lincoln Vot-
ers' association to take Its place. Mr..
Thos R. Rankin, who was one of the
mainstays of the Fremont Voters as
ISOLATION, is Quilted In the Burlington
Hawk-Eye as saying:
Just push that Lincoln Voters as
scciation. 1t ought to be simple
matter to get up big organization
and thus to perpetuate in q measure
the Fremonters' organization. l am
confident that we should have had
this organization long ago. If the com.
nIittee had taken hold Of the matter
in the proper spirit. We expected to
merge the Fremonters with the LIN,
coin association OF course, the Ere
monters would gladly join the Lincoln
Voters association, but The Fremont
ers are growing old and want some
of the younger men to do the work.
/ The Hawk-Eye endorses the propo
sition and declares that such an or
ganization would prove source Of
never-ending interest to its members
1t goes on to say:
The men who voted for Abraham
Lincoln in the historic campaign OF
1860, perhaps the most interesting
and the most important political cam
paign that was ever fought out In this
country. OF course, the lincoln vot
ers. II the Lincoln association were
to be confined to the men of 1850
these would be not SO very much
younger than the Fremonters. and
many of the voters of 1860 might ba
averse to taking upon themselves the
little labor and trouble, connected
with the founding of a new society
But II the voters of 1864 are to be
4 included, number of wide.awake
q active hustlers ought to be found. who
would take pleasure in doing tbes4
things If the voters of 1864 are in.
cluded very strong organization
ought to be possible in the First Iowa
district-not necessarily an organfza.

POWER FoR FARMERS.

The Iowa Homestead, the leading
agricultural paper of the country, fore
sees a great future for the farmers
of the Mississippi valley resulting
from the water power development
here. In speaking of the recent dedi
cation of the plant 1t says among
other things:
The new plant should result In a
material reduction of power and light
prices throughout Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri With the tendency of the
times being for farmers to install
electric lighting plants there is a pos.
sibility that the new power plant may
be able to sell power to consumers
throughout these three states at a
much lower rate than they have been
able to procure 1t from smaller pro.
ducers, thus making 1t possible fo-
more farmers to avail themselves of
the advantage Of power for running
farm machinery and for lighting
homes and barns.

We are all politicians. But what o
social value an organization of thai
character could have. What an aiu
to local historians could be developed
in society of that KIND.
1T is to be hoped that the sugges
ton may appeal to a number OF must
lers of the kind who b. lisve In doing
thing that looks good to them, In
stead of talking about it until every
body is become weary of the mere
mention And that at an early day
the organization of the Lincoln Vot
ers of the First Iowa district may be
chronfcled.'
The Gate City is one with the
Hawk-Eye in this matter. There is
sufficient material for membership in
the First district to make strong
organization and one of real interest
and benefit to its members. This
paper will cheerfully give movement
to that end all the publicity in its
power and ala it in every way.

PICTURESQUE LESLIE NJ. SHAW

rio OhESQUE LESLIE M. SHAW,
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former governor OF
iowa and for six years a member OF
Roosevelt's cabinet In the capacity of
secretary OF the treasury. is now res
ident OF Philadelphia, where he was
interviewed the other day by a local
newspaper man who was curious TO
Know what such a wide-awake and
aggressive party leader thinks about
the project Of Republicans and pro.
gressives getting together for the
presidential election in 1916. The in
terviewer says at the beginning Of his
article:
Now you may differ with Mr..
shaW,s conclusions or you may agree
with them. but one thing you NAV be
sure about and that is that he has an
opinion. He is just as incisive and
emphatic in manner and just as pos
tive in his declarations as when he
used to be making those ripping cam
paign speeches out in Iowa"
In reply to the interviewer's aues-
lions Mr.. Shaw said he didn't be-
lieve that anyone In these times cares
what an old-fashioned Republican
thinks and much less what he says.
But, he continued, III you wish to
make good political prediction, here
is suggestion" Mr.. Shaw then
quoted sentence from Dooley to the
effect that statesman is one who
watches the procession until he sees
which way 1t is moving, and then
steals the stick from the drum ma.
jor." The former secretary went on
to say:
Theodore Roosevelt put common
place plank In his platform demanding
a revision OF the tariff SO as to make
It perfect. That is what all the par
ties promised. He did not make a
speech on the tariff question and
never has. He has never discussed it
from one side or the other He may
have said that he is a protectionist.
IF the Democratic tariff bill oper.
ates as every old-fashioned Republi.
can, as every protection Republican
believes, the procession will change
its course between now and 1916.
When that takes place Theodore
Roosevelt will steal the stick from the
drum major and will be the only
simon pure apostle OF protection in the
land 1t will be difficult to defeat

they'll talk It for ages to come.
The Keokuk Dam.


Boone News-Repubiican: One Of
the greatest undertakings in the world
second only In this hemisphere to the
Panama canal, is the Keokuk dam,
which has just been completed and
dedicated. BY this great work there
has been harnessed a stupendous
amount of natural power, due to the
flow Of the Mississippi river. and the
unique part Of It is that this power
can be transferred at will by the won
derful miracle Of electricity to
practically limitless zone in every d.
rection. The triumph Of man over
nature was never better illustrated
than by this great feat at Keokuk.
The sluggish stream of the Missis-
sippi is suddenly transmitted into a
wonderful power, giving life to fac
tories, giving light to the darkness or
transporting man in luxurious cars
from one place to another at high
rate Of speed st. Louis, situated far
down the river, is going to take a
large chunk of this wonderful cheap
power.
or course Keokuk will be greatly
benefited by this new institution. 1t
cannot fail to have great impetus
in manufacturing and that sets us to
seriously thinking. Why can't Boone
accomplish some such a work? We
are situated on relatively powerful
river and nearby the city nature has
provided as good sluice. compare
lively as good as the one In the Mis-
sissippi river, near Keokuk. It is not
chimerical to consider the feasibility
OF Harvesting the power OF the Des
Moines river at this point, in fact
this project is intensely practicable.
OF course 1t will require a large
capital and will require great deal
OF study and persuation to cause In
vestors to undertake such work and
yet the conditions are favorable. Nor
is 1t an entirely new proposition, for
companies have already been incor-
porated to harness power on the Des
Moines river In other cities.
To have continuously at our com.
mand great amount OF power, such
as could be secured by the building
of dam in the Des Moines river
would be a great impetus to the
city. OF course we cannot expect
such colossal piece OF work as that
just completed at Keokuk, but we do
not need 1t. If we had Just enough
power to supply this county It would
pay and 1t certainly would be an i'm
petus toward factory building in
Boone.
And the advertisement that 1t would
be to us would surely bring us manu-
featuring concerns. There is no doubt
that the experience of Keokuk is
going to be repeated In other cities
near sizeable rivers.
Boone should be one OF the first to
emulate the example Of the city at
the Des Moines rapids OF the Missis.
sippi river, which worked year after
year and against great odds and after

plete success which was dedicated SO
