Honesty.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
have spoken of saving our money,
the indus rial fund, to get ready for
factories, ofNhome industry and to
keep on with the Industrial fund, but
to apply it for ground and bonuses
for factories, also to go in for anoth-
err three years because II won't do to
lie down now we have got the big
dam, but handle this fund economic
ally So people will feel like going in
for anothear three years. Now one
other thought-honesty in all things.
Train the boy right in your own neigh
borhood to be honest, take him in
your confidence and pound honesty
into him. There wouldn't be SO many
| thieves In the world and the peniten-
tiaries wouldn't be SO full If every
one was honest. Every citizen would
do his duty There wouldn't be SO
many hypocrites in religion If every
body was homes. Half OF the riotous
i living and bad habits would be done
away with If everybody was honest,
I because poor people and people Of
moderate means wouldn't have the
i money to be bad with. TIL cash sys-
! tenn in all lines of business would be
great educator Be honeSt in your
business, 1t means good weight and
/ good measure. Be honest in city al.
fairs: /. means cleanliness and pros
perity and growth. Be honest with
your boys and girls; 1t means good
citizenship. Be honest with yourself;
I it means the noblest honor to your
God Be honest with your butcher
and groceryman: It saves him gray
hairs. / wish he preachers would
preach a sermon OF honesty once
every month 1t is the greatest word
4 in the English language because 1t
makes for manhood, morality and
civic Righteousness. Honesty-it has
made men like Mckinley, Lincoln.
Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Let's
have more of it right here in Keokuk.
God bless he honest man because he
4 is the salt of the earth.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

(
THE ETERNAL FEMININE.
When Adam asked his wife to go
To see the jungle picture show,
Twas then that Satan with his voice
Invaded Eden's paradise.
For Eve was tempted to declare,
Il haven't got thing to wear"
And Judging by the way she walled,
You'd think the fig crop must have
failed
While Cain slew Abel with a club,
For laughing like bloomin' dub.
When brother Noah built the ark,
And all were ready to embark,
He sought the woman ne adored,
And fondly chortled, "All aboard,n
Twas then she moaned in deem dis
pair,
i haven't got thing to wear"
Quote Noah as he got up speed,
An umbrellas all you'll need
And judging by the way he spoke,
You'd know the drought would soon
be broke.
When Solomon of long ago,
Had seven hundred wives, or SO,
He foolishly desired one day,
To take his flock to see play.
Twas then he heard in concert rare.
We haven't got thing to wear."
And judging by the awful roar.
He'd have TO buy dry goods store.
Ye1 Solomon is said to be
The wisest man who lived B. c.
When Adams of the present day,
Approach their modern Ewes and say:
We're going to a killing, Kid,
So perk up as you never did"
IT'S then she sobs, I wouldn't dare
| haven't got a dud to wear
And judging by the way she cried,
Shed better get, few or hide.
But when she dons her party dress,
She proves It's true, we must con
fess.

There IS a lesson for American
cities generally in the experience OF
Jersey City That city issued $500 600
of city bonds of forty years to put
water mains in her streets. Those
bonds become due on May of this
year. The city has actually paid more
than sf,4o0noo in interest Now 1t
will try to raise in cash half Of the
100000 and issue new bonds for the
remainder A better Illustration OF
old--ime city financing could not well
be selected. There was no provision
for the amortization Of the bonds, ont
of water rates or otherwise. The
cost of these water mains has been
11lltiplied by four in' the process ri
passing on the burden to pos Gritty.
