MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

1 Every city has its fortunes
and misfortunes. The efface-
ment of the latter and the pres
ervation of the former fur
nishes a good rule. One of
Keokuk's present good for
tunes is having 9. r. Joy at
the head of the Industrial As
sociation. His efficiency is
best known to those who are
associated with him in the i'm
portant work Of developing
Keokuk, and the success of the
divers plans now in progress
mean q decided advancement
to this city. Members Of the
Association directory, those re-
firing and those remaining, tes-
|tify to the interest and ability
Of Mr.. Joy in his work. A high
official Of the water-power
company, speaking Of th e
Industrial Association, and it's
work, said the energy, self
sacrifice, persistency and di-
rection Of MIR. JOY was one of
it's largest assets.
It is a pertinent time to ad-
minister chloroform to discour-
agement and prescribe a tonic
to encouragement
Let us be sure the municipal
doctor gives the patient the
correct medicine.
And finally, brethren how
many men in Keokuk would
practically leave their own
healthy business affairs to take
up a community position, de-
vote hours and days and weeks
and months and years in a sin
cere and earnest endeavor to
develop the city, without any
compensation, except that

formed? How many7

They are at least entitled to
the opportunity.
The changed policy in the
election Of directors adopted
by the Industrial Association
whereby the directorate will
rotate is generally commended.
1t is another move in the right
direction and eliminates the
objection that perpetuation in,
office was possible and injec-
tion Of new blood minimized.
The automatic program has re-
moved this criticism.
The Keakuk Industrial AS.
sociation is q comparatively
new organization, formed for a
vital purpose and with the best
intention. AS in all such or
ganizations hurriedly prepar-
ed, defects in its construction
come to the surface. The COM
mendable feature about the
Keokuk organization is its
willingness to correct these er-
rors as they develop. It has
been entirely new work to
many on the directory. They
are doing the best they can.
The organization will improve
with experience. The interest
Of the retailers and the new
method Of selecting directors
are two recent indications Of
Improvement.
A competent critic points
out defects; a wise general
strengthens the weak places in
his fortificaticns.
Criticism is often the open
door to opportunity. It is not
the guest Of encouragement
but the harbinger Of tidingB In

mercial fabric at least this is
true with reference to the mat
ter herein discussed

The interest the retail mer-
chants are taking in the Keo-
kuk Industrial Association is a
wholesome indication. Their
expression requesting repre-
sentation on the directory at
the coming election should be
endorsed by the stockholders.
A city gets its surface appear
ance just to the extent that
the retail interests participate
in its activities, and no city gets
a proper or adequate expires
sion unless it has a live retail
constituency. So the desire of
the retail merchants to more
closely and officially affiliate
with the Keokuk Industrial
Association portends better
and larger results.
It is authoritatively learned
that President Joy welcomes
the interest and help from the
retailers and says it is a move in
the right direction; that q CO.
operation and consolidation of
all the city's varied interests
is just what is wanted and
needed. There has been criti-
cism that the retailers were
not receiving sufficient recog-
milton.
Criticism is not always the
cry Of a carper. It is frequent
" well founded.
Dissatisfaction does not
necessarily mean disaster.
Advancement is sometimes
the outgrowth Of adversity.
Objections thrown into the
melting pot often turn out a
refined product.
The request Of the re-
tailers will in all probability
be productive Of good results. |

An alleged effort by Fisher to

Eouse Indian affairs committee by
representatives of the Uncle Sam OIL
company, an alleged independent
concern. A full investigation OF the
whole affair was demanded from the
committee.
Ten Usage Indians, headed by Chief
Bacon, applied to the federal courts
for mandamus to revoke their re-
mcval by Fisher from tne tribal coun-
ell. new tribal election will be held
January % to select their successors.
Cancellation by Fisher and approved
by President Taft Of proposed leases
OF the land to the Uncle Sam com
rany provoked the legal tempest.
Fisher demands that the Indians be
given a one-sixth royalty of the value
OF production instead of the one
eighth royalty offered the indians by
1.-THE Uncle Sam company. The secre-
tary also cancelled the entire tract,
insisting that no monopoly be given
and that the tract be divided among
several exploiters.
The lands in question are held in
trust for the Indians by the govern
ment until 1913 and no leases can be
made without the consent OF the sec
retary Of the interior 7. j. Leahy of
Oklahoma appeared this afternoon be-
fore the house Indian affairs
committee to protest against Fishers
official decapitation OF the ten Usage
chiefs. He said it was spite work.
He declared that the sole cause of
their removal was their advocacy Of
the Uncle Sam leases. He admitted
that many Of the Indians do not wish
to lease the lands, but desire to keep
it as a heritage for their children
