The kEokuk cELERRATloN.


Some of the newspapers N some OF
the towns surrounding keokuy are
ldisposed to find fault with the recent
celebration here in honor of the com.
pletion of the great hydro-electric
plant in the Mississippi river at this
point. They complain of the heat
land dust which were general through
Iout this section. as though Keokuk
was peculiar in this respect and
should be held responsible therefor.
They also complain of the immense
crowds present and the inconven-
fences suffered in consequence. But
chiefly they complain that the cele-
bration was not what they thought it
would be. Some of them were evil
IDENTITY under the impression that it
was to be sort of street fair affair
and were disappointed at the absence
of the fat lady, the fellow who "eats
EN- alive" and other attractions" of
cheap shows. Such exhibitions would
have been entirely out of keeping
with the purpose of the celebration
which was to call public attention to
the completion of the largest single
power dam and power house in the
world. The means to this end-that
is to say the program of the celebra-
tion-was published far and wide and
there was no occasion for misunder-
standing on the part of anyone as to
in CT ,of 40 lnhr No
1t is refreshing to turn from these
querulous objections to the sane and
appreciatiye utterances of such level
headed papers as the Montrose Jour
nal and the Keosauqua State Line
Democrat. The former papers arti-
Gle is reproduced in full in another
column and speaks for itself. Not
less commendable is the pronounce
ment of the Keosauqua Democrat,
edited by the veteran George F. Smith,
a lifelong friend and defender OF
Keokuk. In an editorial article the
Democrat says:
Those who had comfortable quar-
ters and had an opportunity really
to witness the Keokuk celebration
it a success. Everything
that was on the program was given
the people, although there was some
temporary hitch in regard to the
fireworks. The Fuello band, one of
the greatest musical organizations IN
the world, as we'll as the saith regi-
ment band was there, and the hydro
aeroplane and the regatta races and
everything that was announced was
duly staged. 1t was great week
for the most promising city in the
central west"

SLANG NOT ALWAYS NEW.

Outside of the very latest and silli-
est kinds of short-lived slang 1t is
curious to find that there are very
few expressions of this nature now In
use which have not their exact coun-
terpart In the literature of a much
earlier day. Indeed, it is astonishing
how many words and phrases now re-
garded as the veriest slang were once
in good repute. In citing instances
of this writer in the Ladies Home
Journal says that the word kick
meaning the showing of opposition OF
strong objection or the offering of re
sistance, is used in exactly this sense
in the Bible. In the twenty-nintt
verse of the second chapter of the
first book of Samuel the man o
Cod says to Eli: Wherefore kick W
at my sacrifice and at mine offering
which I have commanded"
Again, "cut out" is found about 175l
in good literary use in Fielding, tn
author of TON JONES'" who says
Cut out the ghost" and in Sheridan
the author of 1.-THE School for Scan
dal," who wrote in 1890. The pei
| formers have cut 1t out"

MoToRlsT AND CHILD IN THE

The Automobile Legal association OF
Massachusetts,, with the fullest CO.
operation of superintendents OF
schools, is training school children to
avoid danger from automobiles, and
training motorists to look sharp for
children playing in street near a
school AS for the sign the plan is
that it shall be placed 200 or 800 feet
from school buildings, the word
school in white painted on red. To
save the careless child from street
dangers from automobiles school
children have been competing fol
prizes for the best set of safety rules
these rules, as reported by the Motto,
Age, being as follows:
]. Before crossing a street, stop
First look to the left. then to the right
and II safe, go ahead.
2. II playing in a street remember
you have selected the most danger
Gus place possible, and that the pub
lie streets are not made to play in.
3. In playing In the street bear II
mind that motor cars come swift,
and silently, and if they strike you
are very apt to kill you
A. If standing in the middle Of tn,

PRACTICAL SCHOOL WORK.

Boys in the Ishpeming, Mich
3igan high school repair the schoo
buildings for pay, conduct &C
operative school farm for profit
and are about to erect gymnasium
for their school in the same business
like way they have learned to do othe'
things for themselves and the com
munity. All this work is under thu
direct supervision of the regula
school authorities, according to H. "
Foght, of the United States bureau o
education.
For the past six years, high schoo
students from the manual training de
partment have been employed to re
pair the various city school buildings
During one summer $4,000 was thus
paid for student labor. The boys have
repaired roofs, laid cement floors
built brick walls and installed plumb
ing fixtures. The gymnasium to DC
erected by the boys is from plans
drawn by seniors in the high school,
Particularly successful has been the
cooperative farm enterprise. Superln'
tendent Scribner induced the board OF
education to rent a patch OF ground
on the edge of the city, and at the
same time procured $500 for develop
ment expenses. Sixty-four boys re
sponded to a call for volunteers to
form an association. They were i'm
mediately organized into three work
ing squads, each with it's own boss
The boys made their own rules, and
they carry them out. Strict discl-
pine is enforced, and drones are dis.
couraged. AS first step, six acres
were planted to potatoes, cabbages and
Strawberries. 1t is the plan ultimate
ly to plant twenty acres In strawber-
ries for the northern markets. Inc
boys receive ten cents an hour for
their labor, and they are to have 71a
cents additional when the products
are marketed.
These plans to meet the actuai
needs of the community through its
schools developed out of peculiar To-
cal conditions. Ishpeming is a min
ing and industrial town of some $4,000
inhabitants in the upper Michigan
peninsula. Under the state law, chill.
dren are not allowed to work in the
mines and factories until they are Is

dustries in the region, there Is more
than the usual danger of drifting" on
the part of growing boys. 1t was to
meet the problem of these boys that
the practical experiments were under
taken, and the results have amply JUS
tilted the effort. Not only have the
boys become interested in school, but
their parents have had brought to
them in thoroughly understandable
way the direct economic value of edu-
cation.

TYPHOID VACCINATIONS.

Vaccination against typhoid fever is
row on a stable basis and is being
recommended by a number of health
departments in the larger cities of
the country, among them New York
city, which has praised typhoid vac
cinaiton highly at various times. Mr..
IL. H. Spooner. OF Boston, in paper
read at the international congress of
hygiene and demography. told us that
typhoid Investigations in twenty-three
Massachusetts hospitals showed that
typhoid occurred nine times more
frequently among those not vaccinat-
ed than among those who were vac
cinated. He investigated 1852 cases,
of which 1862 were vaccinated and
700 were not. Among the 1862 cases
vaccinated and whose number consist
ed OF nurses and others coming in
close contact with typhoid, only two
cases Of the disease developed.
We see, therefore, that typhoid
vaccination confers a high degree Of
protection against that old enemy
Typhoid fever Vaccination is a good
preventive for three to five years. As
with vaccination against smallpox, one
must be vaccinated before he con
tracts the disease, not during or af
forwards, If he is to get any value
from it. The vaccination consists o
three hypodermic injections with al
interval of week between injections
The health commissioner recommend
it to travellers, campers or others WHIT
have reason to believe that they ma,
come in contact with typhoid fever.

history of the middle west has any
thing to compare with the great wcSk

lis so colossal that we who are here
do not fully realize the magnitude of
the work, nor the immense ad
vantages at our doors. The celebra
ton showed that people from a dis
lance see the magnitude more than
we who are here. But these looked as
one might look at some high mountain
peak or towering monument high up
in the air and which seems out of the
grasp of the mind.
Here we have harnessed the old
river, which for ages has rolled on in
his majesty, and he is to do our bid.
ding. If there was nothing else to
think of, this in itself is great enough.
But this is here to stay. Not long ago
a writer in this paper stated that op-
portunity had passed There are some
opportunities that indeed pass, but
this one will remain close at hand.
Even supposing that those who live
now are not able to use the resources,
this great work is here for others who
may come in other years.
The celebration in the city of Keo.
kuk was as an opening, a fairly good
showing, with music and entertain
ments of various kinds, with regattas
where the swiftest power boats on
earth gave rare exhibitions of speed,
with professions of children and 9TH
ers making pleasing pageant, yet
there stood that great dim and it's
associate in the triumph of mems
genius, the power house.
Other things might attract for a
moment, but this giant power supplier
was the one great thing. All other
things were secondary. True enough
the gaily decorated steamers with
their lights at night, with their wierd
music from their calliopes was truly a
pleasing picture, but the majesty of
the power house, standing silent and
splendid in the sunlight and grand, as
lighted UP by the power contained
within was an attraction for more
eyes than the steamers.
On Tuesday evening there was a
display OF fireworks which was very
creditable, but to the visitor the clus-
tiers of lights on the walls of the
mighty lock and the row of lights on
the big dam had fascination all their
own.
The possibilities are ours. 1t would
be presumptuous in us to try to tell
how this power can become factor
here, but as it Is here there can be no
doubt but that there will arise those
who can solve our problems as to the
use of the power as well as that one
who was able to create the power was
found.
