survey of Pixies Peak ana say that The
story that the Peak has sunk thirty.

without foundation. The geolog cal
report finds Pixies Peak to have a.
altitude of 14.10s feet and suggests
that the report about the mountain

nearly every tourist that has ever

WHAT WOULD THEY THINK now.

Times and opinions change with the
lapse OF years whether the sun Do
move" or not Some historian re.
calls that in 1928 club of students
in an Ohio town arranged to debate
the question OF railroads. then just
coming into notice When they askei
the school board for the use of the
school house they received the follow
ing reply, which is preserved to this
day by an aged citizen OF that plsce:
You are welcome to the sch O:
house to debate any proper que on
but such things as railroads and tile
graphs are Representatives, and rank
infidelity. There is nothing in the
word of God about them. II God had
designated that His intellisent c-ea-
lures should travel at the friehtful
rate of fifteen miles an hour by steam
He would clearly have fsretold 1t
through His holy prophets. 1t is a

WHAT RITUAL MURDER 49,,
An Old Superstition Which Has Per
sisted for Centuries.

London Saturday Review: The Kieff
murder trial would have had nothing
tc differentiate it from other sordid
tragedies of the kind had it not been
for the action of the Russian govern
inient BY formally including in the
indictment the charge of ritual muir
der the government has given some
thing like formal sanction to a long
standing popular superstition. From
time to time during the last eight
centuries the Jews have been accused
of using the blood of christians for
purposes of ritual The charge seems
to have arisen out of the case or
William of Norwich, and was support.
ed by universal belief In the ef1icacy
LOT blood.
Hatred and envy spread the charge,
land popular imagination was excited
by Jewish solemnities unintelligibla
to christians The red vine used in
icommemorating the Staying OF the
children by Pharoah was by popular
fancy turned into blood. This blood
accusation Is indeed a regular occur
ring phenomenon in religious history.
II has been made by the pasans
AGAINST the early christians, BY the
Catholics against the Gnostic sects and
Iby modern Chinese against Europeans
1t would hardly be strange that this
practice should still llnger in Russia.
So recently as 1892 an actual case was
reported from Russian village. where

Inland Naval Recruiting Station.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
With beautiful Lake Cooper deep
enough to float battleship the gov
eminent should establish an inland
naval recruiting station and place a
training ship on this lake An ideal
place and unsurpassed anywhere on
any inland river with ample depth,
bredth and width for such vessel.
On this body of water. the land lub-
bers'' could get their first experience
and take the preliminary or element
AIRY studies for man-ofwar. This
is not an insurmountable thing, and
nothing would please the people more
than to have one or more large train
ing ships visit the cities along the
several rivers flowing into the Mis-
Isissippi. keokuk should be the in
land station for the training ships.
This matter is up to the congressman,
war department and the Industrial
Association. Keokuk has the lake. the
government should establish the naval
station here, and hold out inducements
for enlistment The government is
advertising for men for both services
and how better could inducements be
held out to the western man and youth
than seeing fine training ship on
this fine body of water. coursing up
and down the Mississippi river. It's
new idea, but a business getter of
fighting material

Sex Hygiene in the Schools.

Former Governor Joseph w. Folk of
Missouri in a lecture in WASHINGTON
the other day. took issue with those
who would teach sex hygiene in the
schools. He said that the home is the
proper place for such information to
be impaired to the growing child He
also deplored the putting forward for
profit of the weaknesses of humanity
in certain plays ana stories OF the
day Gate City.
Washington Democrat: This is
one time we are glad to
agree with former Governor Folk. He
is right as we think. We do not be.
liese the everlasting sex talk IS doing
any good whatsoever. but on the eth
er hand. it is doing harm. We do not
believe that merely by taking a boy

there is to know in the sex line is

ing over the country telling { ks how
to raise their children. Every person
who has chil6ren has a duty to re-.
form setting his children to thinking
along right lines. but when all the re.
serves are broken down. when there
is nothing left unsaid. we believe it
will be a bad day for our growing
generation How many OF you were
told all about nature and sex and
things of that sort by your fathers?
Lecturers may come around and tell

An Unfortunate Situation

Hamilton, CID Post: An unfortun.
ate situation has developed over John
Il. Craig's candidacy for a place in tbe
federal Judiciary in Iowa. Mr.. Craig
IS being antagonized by the ladies Of
the w. Z. T. u. of Keokuk, because AT
soc time in the past he has defended
viclators of Tie liquor laws at the
keokuk bar. The simple fact of an.
tagcnism to Mr.. Craig is not unfortun.
ate. but it is unfortunate that the
ladies' OF the keokuk w G. T. III
should be led by their fight on liuuor
TO the extreme position OF antagoniz
ing lawyers who defend the saloon
keepers.
The ladies seem to forget that
lawyer when called upon to defend the
most unworthy men is only doing his
duty when he assents. Should he re.
fuse he is most recreant to his trust.
In their view of LAWYERS attitude
toward the unfortunate and erring the
ladies' are not more extreme than
many others There in wide spread
opinion that lawyer should not be
strenuous and active in defending a
client that all men believe to be gniIty
This is Il most erroneous view. and ere
we give ourselves over TO its promul.
cation we should learn that the state
throws around each citizen It's pro-
tecting arm guarding 1ife, liberty and
the pursuit OF happiness. and these
guarantees being secured by the law.
we may be dispossessed of them only
through the law, and when their loss
is threatened il is the duty of the law
yer to see that the culprt has every
legal right belonging to him recognized
by the officiating magistrate.
To criticise a lawyer for zealously
guarding the rights of his criminal or
guilty client, is evidence OF narrow
virtue. Instead of condemning John E.
Craig for defending saloon keepers the
ladies' should view his act as that OF a
