ought to develop something in prepa-
ration for Warsaw's great home COM
ing in September. and besides ought
to wake us up and keep US awake to
the great possibilities which we
should reach out our hand to every

work for every man in the city in
these coming railroad days. Warsaw
is largely in the limelight now. This
is her opportunity; all eyes are turn
ed on her; some cities are jealous OF
her. If her citizens do their duty
and do it now, they will have nothing
of which to be ashamed.
That was a good job the citizens
of Keokuk did Monday when they
elected DR.. Moorhead mayor and
Schmidt and Collins, aldermen. War
saw congratulates Keokuk and we

ally and physically. Everybody ex-
presses wonder, though, that "Hinkey
Dink" was defeated, or was it Bath
House John" that got the black eye?
A change was necessary and our SIS

too high for men who accept public
trust. Personally, the writer holds
out the glad hand to his friends,
Moorhead and Collins, and may their
shadows never grow less.
