The keokuk Dam.

Des Moines Capital: The Keokuk
dam, one of the most wonderful and
valuable engineering feats of the pres
ent generation, has been completed
and the dedication ceremonies are be-
ing held this week.
The project represents a cost Of
$27, 100000 but there is not word of
protest over the expenditure of the
money. For ages the Great Father of
Waters has been making it's males.
tic way from Itasca lake to the gulf.
Many men have dreamed and com
mented upon the power which the
watery monster possessed. NothinA
great has ever occurred which did
not exist at one time as merely a
human dream. The Keokuk dam is
the dream of Hugh j.. Cooper trans
ferred from the realm of the imagi-
nation to that of tangible and ma
terial things. It's completion marks
a new era in the commercial and in
dustrIal history OF the Mississippi
valley. Power has been harnessed

The keokuk Dam,

Chicago Record Herald: When you
are seeing your own country first it
might not be bad idea to stop over
at Keokuk. For at Keokuk one of
the worlds great engineering enter
prises has been brought to success
full finish, and the finished product is
quite as well worth seeing as the
engineering wonders of other lands.
A mighty dam has been erected that
has suggested COMPARISONS with the
work at Panama. Perhaps they would
not be very significant because there
is such difference in the nature of
the two undertakings. but In the one
case as in the other something has
been accomplished that is big in the
best sense, and admirable and i'm
.pressive.
The building of the Keokuk dam was
carried on in rushing river; new
and perplexing problems had to be
laced; an immense amount Of money
was required Primarily, it may be
SAID, the object was to secure bust
ness for the Mississippi River Power
company, but large public interest
attaches to the work. A great lock
and dock are presented to the govern
ment, lake has been formed. mil
mons OF dollars have been paid for
submerged land; the river channel
dpoVe the dam has been deepened;
NAVIGATION has been aided. All the

Good for keokuk.

Davenport Democrat Davenport
extends its greetings to Keokuk today,
hoping that the event it celebrates
will make it healthy rival to our
own proud title of the Best City in
Iowa.
heokuk is dedicattng today a s27,-
100000 water power dam, the largest
in the world, project which is en-
titled to be mentioned in the same
sentence as the Panama canal or any
other triumph Of engineering skill.
We hear lot about conservation
nowadays, but no one will cast any
reflections upon Theodore Roosevelt
because he signed the franchise act
which made possible the development
|of the great Keokuk project.
If President Wilson will do SINH
lar kindly act for the Davenport
water power project we NAV some
day have a power plant here rivaling
Keokuk's, and then we Will invite the
president and the governors and
everyone else to come and see IL we
have done as well as the city down
the river.
At present, 1t is chiefly important
that the Iowa cities in the Keokuk
power zone get busy and harvest the
benefits that should accrue to them
from lying under so enormous a
power. 1t is hoped that Keokuk and
FIT. Madison and Burlington will all
have new birth. blessed by the
spirit OF progress, and that they will
add largely to the total OF the activ.
tiles and wealth of industrial Iowa.

A Great Occasion.

Galesburg Republican Register:
Monday was a great day in Keokuk,
the object being to commemorate the
building Of the great dam across the
Mississippi river and the construction
of the power house. Some weeks ago
we wrote description of this work
SO that 1t is unnecessary again to re-
fer to it in any detail. 1t is one OF
the accomplishments of human skill
and ingenuity that it is worth going
far to see. Besides the equipment is
fully as remarkable as the dam itself.
keokuk has gained both great plant
and magnificent lake by the improve
ment and the government has got rid
OF an ugly stretch of river over which
formerly navigation was difficult. It
is something indeed to this section to
have work of such a magnitude and
capable of furnishing power to such
a large region. The next step will be
the bringing about of the largest
utilization of the power.

LYING.

The essence of lying is In decep-
ton, not in words; a lie may be told
by silence, by equiYocation, by the
accent on a syllable. by glance of
the eye attaching a peculiar signtn-
canoe to sentence; and all these
kind Of lies are worse and baser by
many degrees than a lie plainly word
ed; SO that no form of blinded con-
science is SO far sunk as that which
comforts itself for having deceived
because the deception was by gesture
or silence, instead of utterance- John

Announcement That He viii Not

CONCORD. n H., Sept 3O.-'I
have just begun to night" is William
Travers Jerome's attitude toward the
suggestion that Governor Samuel
Felker may refuse to extradite Har-
~ Thaw. One Of Jerome's assistants
said to-day: Even if extradition is
refused the fight will be but begun.
Jerome will not quit. Felker's de
cision will by no means settle the
case.
Jerome can do one Of two things.
He can secure an indictment on some
other than a conspiracy charge and
can on this indictment demand
Thaw's extradition. or he can have
a guard from MatteaWan Asylum
here waiting and this man can ar
rest Thaw The Matteawan guard
would be in the position of Thaw's
legal guardian, since the New YORK
law makes insane persons State
wards and this guard would repre-
sent the State.
The fight has just begun and this
last plan-to arrest Thaw as insane
and demand his return as ward of
the State Of New York might very
well succeed after all other plans
failed"
This declaration came as a tremen-
dous surprise to-day, for jerome told
