THE POWER ZONE.

The Burlington Evening Post re-
prints the letters of Mr.. Joy and Con-
gresham Rainey in last weeks issue
and then goes to work and adds
heading that is not at all in keeping
with the case. The Keokuk Indus
trial association comes in for criti-
cism, being charged with disloyalty
to the city. This organization Is do
ing all in Its power to further the in
terests of Keokuk and while the ef-
forts have not been what was hoped
for no one can truthfu.ly say the
efforts are not conscientious and en-
ergetic 1t should be borne in mind
that industrial development in any
part of the country has not been
large lately. Surely not large since
the power is available for the Missis-
sippi valley from the dam. We ven-
ture the statement that any factory
wishing to locate in the power zone
will not be kept away by the price OF
power If that is the only consfdera-
ton the power zone will be filled with
factories because the power company
will make rates that will make it an
object to locate. There are other
causes than the price of power keep
ing factories from the power zone.
Causes which the Industrial associa-
ton and the power company have
nothing to do with. The Keokuk In
dustrial association is cooperating
with the power people to help develop
the industrial situation in this sec
ton and so is the Burlington Com
mercial club and the Fort Madison
First association and the Quincy
Commercial club and such co-opera-
ton is desired and necessary. Surely
these organizations should not come
in for censure for assisting in the de-
velopment of their respective cities.

OPTIMISM,

To look on the bright side of life
and it's affairs with an enthusiastic
belief tina: everything is all right
and for the best is ideal This is
especially true as it applies to those
who come into contact with the sick.
A physician, above all men, should
he an optimist-ready to stimulate
hope even though he may not have it
himself Hopefulness in the counter
Iance and optimism in the words and
actions of the physician are as sun
shine in the sick room: they stimulate
hopefulness of recovery IN the sick
and courage that often has potent
influence for good. Even when recov-
cry is not possible. the Journal Of
American Medical Association thinks
that good, not harm, is done. They
make life worth living while it lasts.
The psychic influence is always felt
so long as consciousness remains.

CORRECTS
ERRONEOUS REPORT
First District Congressman Gives
Some Information About Missis-
sippi FLYER Work.

The following letter from Congress
man c. A. Kennedy is published to
correct statement about Mississippi
river improvement work. The letter
is interesting and is as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2o.-l
desire to correc. statement which APP
peared in a recent issue of The Gate
City in reference to the appropriation
in the rivers and harbors bill for the
Mississippi river.
This article states that no appro-
priation is made in the current bill
for the improvement of the Missis-
sippi river above the mouth of the
Ohio. The facts are that the rivers
and harbors bill which passed The
house some weeks ago and is now
before the senate, carried, as it left
the house, one million dollars for
channel work from Cairo to the mouth
of the Missouri river and one million
FIVE hundred thousand dollars for the
same work from the mouth of the
Missouri river to st. Paul. In addi-
ton to this, the bill as it left the
house carried an appropriation of sew
Ell IHlllicES tOT icNSC
work from the head of the passes to
Rock Island.
1t is true that some of the work
has been suspended on the river
owing to the fact tina. the money
carried in the bill of 1913 has been ex-
hausted: at least for some particular
kinds of work. That is accounted for
by reason of the fact that the bill OF
1913 became law some time be-
fore the expiration of the congress on
March 4. 1913; the money provided
for in that bill has been available for
use for some fifteen months, longer
period than was anticipated when the
engineers made their estimate for
the money needed. 1t was expected at
the time the estimate was made for
