Following Article.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing among voters as to the
place upon the ballot upon which the
names OF the candidates nominated
for Judges Of the supreme and district
courts will appear Under the new
law, passed by the last legislature.
thu names OF all candidates for the
once OF Judge Of the supreme, district
and superior courts must appear IN
column designated rs mon partisan
tudicial ticket" This non partisan
judicial ticket will appear on each
ballot In q column to itself, namely.
column Z, ON the right hand side OF
the general ballot. and the name OF
no candidate for judge will appear
among the names Of the party candi-
dates in connection with any party
ticket. All voters, after voting their
regular party tickets, as has been the
practice heretofore. should then not
forget to cast their vote for the prop
er number OF candidates for judge,
whose names appear in column on
the right hand side OF the ballot,
designated as mon partisan judicial
ticket" and whose names do not APP
pear at any other place on the bal.
lot. In order to vote for judges, II

That the Keokuk water power plant
will be an inducement for special
parties Of scientific men who are on
their way to the San Francisco ex-
position to travel by way Of the Bur.
lington route was made known today
through the visit here OF F. E. Bell,
assistant general passenger agent OF
the c.. B. & Q. In Chicago. Mr.. Bell
was here. and was taken over the
huge power plant today, by the COM
pany's officials. in order that he
might be better posted on this great
engineering feat.
Practically all Of the national scien-
tiflc and engineering societies will
hold their meetings at San Francisco
next year. Some OF the international
societies will also meet in Frisco, and
in the majority of cases these mem
bers will be transported in special
trains, or on special cars.
The Burlington route running
through Keokuk saw the possibilities
of the Keokuk power plant as an
extra added attraction for their route
for these scientific men, and they
were Investigating this possibility
through Mr.. Bell today.
1t Is believed that the power plant
will be a special drawing card for
these special parties. and that the
Burlington will route their specia.
trains through here In order to allow
the passengers to see the big local
plant.

kEokuk.s DUTY.

The maintenance Of the Keokuk
Industrial Association is absolutely
essential to the Industrial progress
OF this city. No matter how far this
organization has fallen short Of your
expectations. its existence must be
assured to gather the fruits Of its
labors, and that is much more than is
generally known. For more than
three years the Industrial Associa-
ton has been working for the de-
velopment Of the city. not alone In an
industrial way. but in every way
that would keep Keokuk to the front
and give it a g. I'd name. A cam
paign is now in progress to ref
nance the association. Not nearly SO
much money will be asked for as on
the first occasion. but enough VIII De
solicited to assure the continuation
Of the organization with some funds
left over after fixed operating expense
are met to assist in getting factories.
The plan Of campaign, the amount OF
money needed, and the plans will be
given from time to time within the
next two weeks in special articles
in this paper. The Gate City urges
every citizen Of Keokuk to forget all
differences and complaint against
the Keokuk Industrial Association
and give to the committees which
will make the solicitation for funds
a liberal and hearty response, This
is an important matter. Every city
must maintain an organization OF
character similar to the one this
city has supported. Some kind of an
organization must take upon itself
the duty of looking after the general
welfare of the city. The effective
ness OF such body will depend upon
the support or cooperation the citi-
zens who create it give. There Is
sure to come an adjustment OF indus
trial conditions In this country. The
conditions have not been favorable
since the Keokuk Industrial assoc1a-
ton was organized. Few factories
changed locations and the number OF
new ones was limited. With an i'm.
proved situation 1t is imperative
that this city be in position to act
promptly. A generously supported
Industrial organization Is essential.
This is Keokuks' duty.

College Man Of This City Talking Of
Launching New oraannlxa-
tlon Here
Soon.
$50 COLLEGE MEN HERE
Proposed to Hold Banquet, At Hotel
Iowa to Consider Forming Of
the Proposed
Club.

The organization in this city Of a
University club has lately been sug-
gested by some Of the older college
men here and is apparently meeting
with very favorable response. It has
been estimated that there are in the
neighborhood of $50 college men who
are permanent residents Of this city.
This is q large number for a city
the size of Keokuk and is great
enough to insure success OF the club
II 1t should be organized.
So far there has been no definite
action taken on the matter. but 1T Is
expected that In the near future a
banquet will be held to which all To-
cal college men will be invited. The
plan is to talk the mater over at this
banquet and If those present are
sufficiently interested. the club wili
then be formed.
Whether or not the number OF col.
lege men here is large enough for
the proposed organization to secure
permanent quarters is matter OF
conjecture and would depend largely
on the support given the organization
by the members. Such questions as
this could be brought up at the ban
quet.
Many prominent business and pro.
fessional men here are interested In
the matter and say they would be
glad to see the club organized. They
believe that such club would IN
many ways promote the welfare OF
this city. that it would place the
members, many Of them prominent
locally, closer in touch with each
other, and serve many another good
purpose.
1t is probable that banquet will
be held within short time at the
hotel Iowa when all local men eligible
to membership will be requested to
attend. 1t is thought this is the mos
practical way to launch the proposed
organization.

Woman Wants A Voice In Public
Matters.

Mr.. Editor In kensngtOn. the other
day, the club women met, read their re-
ports of work, elected officers and passed
resolutions. as they have done eight times
before in this county. Through very famil-
iarity, the meaning of it all is lost on most
of us. How many Of us realize that these
women represented nineteen clubs in all
corners of our county. with total mem
bership running well up into the thousands
that have been meeting week by week or
month by month throughout the year TO
discuss-what2 The fashions The neigh
borhood gossipY Servants foibles The
coming BALI None of these historic topics
of feminine interest, but our county schools,
our county roads, sanitary inspection Of
dairies sanitary houses for tenants
not forgetting household economics and
the help of the Department OF Agriculture
may give the housekeeper. Such are the
subjects OF the resolutions passed at the
convention. and such have been the topics
studied and discussed throughout the year.
We must remember. too. that this County
Federation of ours is but part of ma
tiOn-wide movement. that nearly every
State in the Union has It's State Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs. and that all these
send delegates every second year to great
national convention.
So many citizens thinking about the civic
conditions under which they are living and
striving to make them better must indeed
be a hopeful sign in republic, for IL is
upon the vigilance of its citizens that the
success Of free government depends.
But here is curious phenomenon, per-
haps never before matched in the history
Of the world. These citizens. so earnest for
good government and wholesome condi-
tons in their communities, are not those
with whom the government has been en-
trusted, but voteless women, political non
entities, able to do nothing Of themselves
but only TO beg others to do what they
want done.
The federated clubs have proved that
civic matters. community problems. interest
and concern women. Is 1t strange that
some Of the women who have received this
civic awakening an ever-increasing num-
Der of them, should want voice in decid-
ing public matters2 NJ. l.. S.

War.

What is war; Look There it is yondeI
on that field blood soaked and death -strewn
There, where bullets hiss and cannon roar
where gatling guns hurl out their deadly
bullets at the rate of three thousand a
minute. where screaming shells charged
with peroXilene burst into leaden rain of
deadly missiles, sweeping away every YES
tige of life for space of two hundred
yards; there, where men, mangled, mutt
lated beyond recognition. writhe and groan
and die; there, where pain maddened
horses expire in lingering torture there
you may find the answer to the question,
What is war; ?"
10 take a nations youth, strong and
brave, generally its tolers in mill and fac
tory and shop, who have no more griev-
ance against their fellows whom they are
hidden kill than against their next door
neighbors, to take these who brought on
no quarrel, have no political. nor financial,
nor any other selfish end to gain, and send
them to the battles front to murder and
be murdered-and to do it in the name of
patriotism, claiming the Eternal Righteous
ness is on your side-this is war.
To rend, riddle, dismember, your human
brother, and to do this under the sanction
of law-this is war.
To break the hearts of women and crush
them beneath wasting loads of care, to
put the fire out on a thousand hearths, to
create an army of fatherless children in
day, to do it legally, thanking the good
God that you have done all this to your
neighbor before he did it to you-this is
war.
To waste the fruit of human toll gener-
atoms of it in day. to sack and pillage
city and town, to trample ripening and
golden harvests, to turn paradise of hill
side and valley into flame swept, black
ened landscape sodden with human blood,
and TO sing TIE Deums when ii is over-this |
is war.
To settle the quarrels of nations by might |
and not right, by machines that wipe out |
human lives at the rate of thousand /,
minute, when all could have been settled |
by half-dozen honest. clear headed men.
without the firing of gun or the destruc-
ton of single life this is the shame, the |
crime against man and God which Chris |
tian men call war.
If fathers and mothers whose sons may |
some day be summoned into war brought
on by men who will never 60 themselves
to be shot to pieces, would but read the |
story of twentieth century field battle,
and see for but single moment, in imaei-
nation, their boys the victims of that mer-
CHESS onslaught of bullets, dynamite. lyd-
dite-see their scorched, dismembered
bodies, look into their anguished faces,
hear their dying groans, there would be no
more war from henceforth. forever.
