II am very sorry that exception is
taken by any one, especially by min
listers OF the gospel, to a celebration

good will to men" said the Ri Rev.
Mgr William r. Russell, rector of st.

appraised of the actions Of the various
Protestant bodies IN regard TO the
proposed service.
Not Official Celebration.
THE purpose OF the Pan-American
celebration Is to bring together prom
INERT men of the American republics
for the purpose of fostering friendly
sentiments among them. 1t is not a
diplomatic celebration. neither is II
official.
II am not responsible for the views
expressed by newspapers in regard to
the celebration. There is no Roman
claim that this celebration is now the
official celebration of Thanksgiving In
our national capital There is no
such thing as a national THANKSGIVING
celebration. The celebration Is. on
the contrary. an occasion when the
reserve OF diplomatic and official life
may be cast of. when men may meet

Of the Burlington railroad between st.
Louis and Burlington are now being
dispatched by telephone instead of
by telegraph. The telephone system
was inaugurated on Sunday, following
the completion of It on the north
end Of the division between Hannibal
and Burlington. about 100 miles
This method has been In use on the
south end between Hannibal and ST
Louis for nearly two years and has
proven such an advantage over tbe
telegraph that the officials eouinned
the entire division.
The distance between st. Lou,s and

original wealth comes draw no color

convention of the National Negro
Business leafgue. Over 20o,0o0,O0O
acres of unoccupied lands in the
south await the negro farmer, he says.
If there is a negro problem is 1t not
70 get the negro on the right economic
foundation, as Dr. Washington points
cut, as well as an Intellectual, moral
and religious one? A few generations
of hard working negro farmers in the
Independence of that life suggests GER

and, should such ideals be beneath the
privilege Of the people, then. in sucn
Ia case, 1t should lead the people to
live to the highest point OF privilege
within their moral and legal right;
but instead of discharging this worthy
mission Of leadership, it too frequently
happens that catering to the baser
element is more profitable, conviction
is stifed, and the people advised to
lie still for five months more OK
shameless disregard of law and civic
decency. And this course 1t COM
mends as "advisable!"
There Is q time when forbearance
ceases to be virtue; and, we be-
lieve, that time Is now-now when
men are being knocked down and
killed like beasts in the shamhles in
the resorts run in open defiance OF
law and within the knowledge, If not
by the consent, Of those who before
God and man bound themselves by
oath to administer the law; now when
virtue and womanhood Is sold in the
market, or, as in the days of barbar-
ism, co-ersed and made to do the will
|of their masters.
Again, We most emphatically deny
that the movement to recall Is pure
ly destructive and not constructive. :.
Such statement is wholly gratuitous.
Our leaders are not the fools you
would have them be- IN this, as. IN
every work Of the kind, destruction
and construction must be carried on
together. While the old is being torn
down our workmen. in tn. Quarries,
in the mines and in the foundries are
preparing the stone, the iron and the
steel with which to rear a more hon
orable city government in which there
shall be place for the consideration
of the welfare of our homes, our
schools, our churches, and those high
er civic virtues and interests without
which no city can reach its highest
destiny and its greatest influence.
This is movement in action and
not in intention only. Things are
being done now. 1t believes in the
motto, DO 1t now" The fellows who
are intending to do something worth
while next March, are, Mr.. Editor,
If | may use your own dictum, the
fellows who are paving the way to
hell with their good intentions, and,
they'll all be there before next March
II things go on as they have been 60
ing under the policy Of nonenforce-
ment of law and order.
If Keokuk looks SO bad under the
little reflection that has been cast on
Its rottenness, what loathsome
spectacle 1t will present when 1t shall
zee made to stand forth under the
search light sure to be turned on
by an aroused and indignant citizen
snip. We appeal to all good citizens
and to all creeds, let us be comrades.
Let US stand unitedly for civic right
eousness. Thus only can we build the
keokuk that is to be, the city OF our
hopes and our ideals.

The Recall Movement.


To the Editor of The Gate City:
The wisdom of the movement to re
call certain city officials has been
challenged and its leaders held up to
ridicule by editorials in The Gate
City of recent issues. Such course,
In view of prevailing conditions, can
not but give comfort to those against
whom the recall is invoked, and, at
the same time, embolden the evil ele.
ment to still greater violations of the
laws OF the state and the ordinances
OF the city. 1t seems passing strange
that those chosen to. serve the people
by unfolding the dignity of the law,
conserving the morals of the people
and leading the city on to greater
prosperity. should SO soon forget their
honorable position and use their dele.
gated authority against the ideals
they swore to maintain; but strange
as this is. 1t is even more strange
that, with facts at hand, the only eff
fective method left to the people to
remedy the evils complained Of should
be characterized as "ill-advised. Ill
considered inopportune and unfor.
tunate.' How much worse must con.
ditions become before the time ia ON.
Fortune? And who should be con.
suited In order that a thing NAV he
advisable? The things complained or
are not the result of a night of dis
slpatlon and reyelry. They have been
going on for months without infer.
ference or serious effort to suppress
1t can not be that The Gate City is
IN ignorance Of these conditions. and
yet 1T has not lifted It's voice in warn
Ing. 1t has not had the courage to
lead out In movement for tho adj.
ministration of law and civic decencv.
ana now, when few courageous men
appeal to the only effective means
within their power, and, as a last re.
sort, call upon the people to assist
in gaining relief from shameful and
umsearable conditions, The Gate CIV
