The Fairfield Ledger was a warm

declines to follow him In seeking to
bring about q recall of the decision
rendered in the case. It's attitude is
clearly expressed In the following
Paragraph in It's latest issue:
Candidate Rowley should amend his
platform and strike out the plank re-
lating to the recall of judges and
judicial decisions. That isn't Republi-
can doctrine and it is going to cost
him thousands of votes at the pri-
mary election Judicial recall is the
weapon OF the man who is filled with
spite and desire for revenge-its
ultimate result anarchy. Heartily as
tie Ledger approves of Mr.. Rowley's
labcrs against capitol extension, much
az It dislikes Governor Clarke's stand
upon this matter, 1t would prefer
Clarke and extension for governor OF
Iowa to Rowley and recall.

HEALTH AS AN ASSET.

Something of the value OF health a.
an asset is shown in a negative way
by some recent utterances OF tbs Indi-
ana state board of health. In the
latest issue Of its monthly tulletin It
says regarding consumption:
Dead men buy neither shoes nor
groceries. They pay neither insurance
premiums nor doctors b lis. They
make no bank depo sits ana rent no
houses. Even doctors ana undertsk-
ers profit, in the long run, by an In
crease of population rather than by
the present high death rate.
NO one profits by the presence OF
tuberculosis, which kills nearly 4 1000
IN Indiana every year and one person
In Fayette county every two weeks.
and the whole community 1oses by
the death OF people In the youth and
middle periods Of life. =. Cen

Consumption is quite as much a
business proposition in Keokuk as in
Fayette county, Indiana. Statistics re-
Gently made public show that the
death rate from this cause in Keokuk
is higher than the average. especially
among the coIored population Some
thing should be done at once to de-
crease the death rate. Distinction
Of houses in which consumptives have
resided, as suggested by DR. Fuller,
would doubtless go far in this direc-
ton. It Is quite as important to pro
tect the lives Of the community as
ii is to preserve property rights. for

APPRECIATION OF Mr.. WILLIAMS
We are in receipt of letter from
Mr.. G. C. johnson of this city. written
from Springfield, H., in which he ex.
presses the highest appreciation OF
Rev. George C. Williams and pays de
served tribute to his fine christian
character, influence for good and good
works. The letter is a private one,
but it voices so well the sentiments
of so many Keokuk people that we
take the liberty OF making it public
Mr.. Johnson writes:
| wish to thank you for your
splendid editorial on Dr. Williams
in Thursdays Gate City.
You told the truth when you
said that nominally he was the
minister of the First Congrega-
tional church, but really he was
the minister of all the people of
keokuk. What pity that the In
fluence Of such man must be
lost to us! What a loss to the
good citizenship OF our town.
now the sufferers in our hospi-
tails will miss his CHEEKY word.
his heartenfng handshake. How
even the unfortunate down and
out will miss him. For when
death or sorrow came he was al
ways ready to go even where some
Of US would not go, Christians
though we call ourselves, for fear
OF soiling the hem of our gar
ments." God bless him for all this
as we'll as many and many other
deeds of kindness that he has
wrought while ministering among
US!
Sect and dogma was or is moth
ing to him. Love of God and the
golden rule is creed enough for
him.
Very sincerely.

A "BuY AT HOME CREED
Very sincerely.
G. c. JOHNSON.

The Commercial club of Ottawa
Kan, together with the city's organi-
cation Of retail merchants. has been
doing some very effective work in
trade building and influencing trading
at home. One Of the features of
their work is a .buy at home" creed
which they are placing in the hands
of everyone and which every city
could profit by. It is before all classes
of people at all times and its peril
nent epigrams are sufficient to cause
anyone to think twice before sending
good money out of ths community to
the catalog houses. The creed fol
lows:
buy in Ottawa because
My interests are here,
The community which is good
enough for me to live in is good
lenough for me to buy in;
! believe in transacting business
with my friends;
| want to see the goods;
My home merchant carries" me
when I run short"
The dollar I spend at home stays
at home and works for the commun-
ity in which 1 live:
The man I buy from stands back OF
the goods;
/ sell most of what produce here
at home and here I buy;
The man | buy from pays his part
Of the town. county and state tax;
The man buy from helps support
my schools, my church, my lodge, my
home;
When III luck. misfortune. or be-
reavement comes. the man 7 buy from

words of cheer, and his pocketboo..
