ment along the Mississippi river, in
the vicinity OF the city of Keokuk, (the
place whore the city now stands was
originally called The Point" With its
few scattered cabins), the two great
chiefs of the Sac & Fox tribe, located
In this general neighborhood, were
Black Hawk and Keokhk- both OF
them born leaders, although neither Of
them We're hereditary chiefs. but
reached their positions of authority by
their superior ability and strong per-
sonality. They were great rivals, but
very different in their characteristics
and dispositions.
Black Hawk was a warrior, bold and
defiant, who preferred death in battle
against the whites, rather than to sub
nit supinely to what he considered an
unrighteous ejectment Of his people
from the homes and lands Of their an
cestors
Keokuk, which being interpreted
means the "Watchful Fox" while not
wanting in physical courage. was IA
nous as an orator and diplomat. He
was impressed with the overwhelming
power of the white people. He felt
that their supremacy was inevitable,
and he believed it to be the course Of
wisdom to make the best terms pos
sible.
Rivalry of Chiefs.
The rivalry between these two great
chiefs eliminated in what was known
as the Black Hawk war of 1882. Keo.
kuk refused to join in this contest
against the white settlers. Black
Hawk, leading his braves in battle,
was defeated and taken prisoner, strip
ped of his power, broken in spirit and
Inundated
Keokuk was then formally recogniz-
ed by the United States government,
In the treaty following this war, as
principal chief of the Sac and Fox
tribe.
We have some most interesting de-
scriptions of this celebrated man. The
late Edward tombstone, long an hon
ored resident of Keokuk, and well re-
membered by SO many of her citizens,

| ing, held at Fort Madison, In August
| 1878, said of Keokuk:

He had great powers, as an orator, and
was one Of the chief speakers in all

some frailities of great men. / never
saw him that he was not accompanied

David w. Kilbourne, who was the
seventh mayor of the city Of Keokus

Of Iowa's most gifted and talented
women, is placed here, SO that for all
time the old chief, the watchful Fox,
can preside over the destinies OF the
city which bears his name. and for
which we all hope and believe the
future holds SO much.
And, while we are defeating this
statue to the memory Of the past, wa
should not refrain from Just a word OF

OF the future.

OF her most optimistic citizens will be

HuERrA,s CRUCIAL MISTAKE,

When General Huerta suspended the
Mexican constitution and became die
tator he committed fatal blunder II
so far as negotiating with this country
on sound basis was concerned. lie
made q move in the diplomatic game OF
chess which will permit President WI
son TO checkmate him, unless the nego
tiations culminatc in a state of war
This is made tocrably clear by the
terms of Huerja g reply to this govern
ment's latest communication.
Provisional President Huerta, il if
stated in the dispatches, VIII set forth
that the United States has no right, ie-
gal or otherwise, TO demand his eIlmi'
nation, and he will also assert that he
has no legal right to acccde TO the de
mand. The word "legal' is mere
makeshift under the circumstances.
Huerta, having suspended the constitu-
ton, there is nothing legal about his
acts. The only basis on which he can
claim to act legally is constitutional
basis, and be has set aside the constitu-
tion.
II was decided to incorporate in the
reply the declaration that General
Huerta intended to increase the Mexi-
can army to 100000 men. This threat,
if it is made, will be sheer folly, and
will be evidence that Huerta is in a
state of desperation. He has been un-
able to finance an army big enough to
ouell the various revolts against his
rule. Denied money by all the great
powers, he must look solely to his back
ers in Mexico. or TO methods of confis-
cation, for the money TO finance any
military operations he may set on foot.
His case appears to be hopeless. He
has failed to unite the Mexican people
in his support by appealing TO preju-
diccs against the United States. Had
President Wilson acted with impunity
In the early negotiations he might have
given Huerta an opportunity to stir up
a sufficiently strong patriotic senti-
ment in Mexico 10 insure military op-
Grafton on a large scale. But the presi-
dent Of the United States has won the
sympathy of many factions in Mexico
by his efforts to preserve peace.
1t looks very much as if Huerta
would soon be left alone, and if no
cause for war can be found by him he
is apt 10 be eliminated automatically
by the course Of events. He may be

as the movement is new il Is still far
from perfect and must rely on gradual
growth.
The chief argument against the
school for subnormal children has been
that stigma attaches TO every child
who is separated from the brighter
children and placed in special school.
AS Principal Gibbs states, parental
pride and family vanity are more or
less shocked at first by the prospect Of
having to send child to such an insti
tuition. TO show that this argument is
not wen founded, Mr.. Gibbs says:
