The Case Of Bruce Lake.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Several times lately | have seen
statements to the effect that no one
had any sympathy with the defaulting
clerk. / wish to register a protest
against this sort of feeling which to
my mind is not a credit to any com
munity protesting to possess ordin-
airy enlightenment. At one time the
people of Keokuk thought enough If
Bruce Lake to elect him to the office
of district clerk. It is probably true
that he has acted in most unwise,
But has he alone been responsible for
the condition which allowed his down
fall? If he was entrusted with public
funds, was 1t not the part Of the peo-
pie who put him in Office to take
ordinary precautions to see that he
lived up to the terms of his trust? 1t
is not my place or affair to crfticise
officials of Lee county, but it no less
remains that If people generally are
careless and Indifferent to the hand
ling Of moneys in the hands OF public
officials, they become in some meas
ure particeps criminis when those
officials make wrong use Of the funds
And when people are ready to con-
denim without mercy and without any
feeling OF sympathy, they are forget
full of the fact that If the same or
similar temptation had come their
own way, they too might have fallen.

Territory With keokuk, "the
Great Water Power
city,

A large number Of farmers in Iowa
and across the line In northwest Mis-
souri, are going after good roads
Systematically and they are going to-
get them. Some. time ago the Triple
Star trail was marked from Milton,
Iowa, to this city, running most OF the
way through Missouri towns.
The work docs not mean merely
marking the road with signposts but
the farmers have formed an associa-
citation and have already done some
work to put the road in better shape
They expect to collect funds, work
with the county road supervisors In
Systematic way and themselves labor
for the cause of good roads. Here. at
least is a good roads movement that
originates with the farmers them
themselves and while most Of them
expect to travel the roads in their
automobiles they also want good
roads over which to haul their pro.
ducts to market.
The farmers started out In a mod
est way by using improved methods
Of dragging and maintaining dirt road
ard later on expect to see hard per.
manent highways Memphis, Mo. Isl
the central meeting point OF these
good roads enthusiasts and the wide
scope of their work may be seen from
the following item from the Memphis
Reyeille:
Last week the Triple Star Automo-
bile and Good Roads Association
marked their trail west to Lancaster.
thence south through Queen city.
Kirksyille, LaPlatta, Macon, and
Moberly.
The plans are being made this week
to extend the trail on southwest to
sedalia, thence on eventually to Okla
homa City.
It is believed this will be one Of the
most travelled trails in the state as
It will connect the west and south |
west with Keokuk, Iowa, the great
water power city.
The Triple Star will connect with
the following other established trails:
cannon Ball at Kirksyille; White
Cross at Macon; and the Santa Fe at
Moberly. The White Cross is from

"a Fe from st. Louis to Kansas City.
