Talk Ia Not 90 Cheap.

| Burlington Gazette: A member of
the Des Moines city council has sued
a citizen for $4,000 for SANDER, alleg.
/ interview in q newspaper, accused the
said councilman Of an act of graft.
| The defendant in his answer alleges
tht he has been informed by persons
, whom he nd every reason to believe
were truthful, that the councilman In
question was guilty Of the offense
cited. Without investigating the mat
himself to be interviewed and he is
now facing the prospect Of paying a
good-sized Judgment. The merits Of
the case are neither here nor there.
Perhaps the defendant can prove his
assertion, but the fact that the city
official is taking such strenuous eff
forts to make him do so renders this
outcome doubtful People are too
prone to publicly criticise men in pub
lie life without taking the time to sat
isfy themselves of the truth OF their
accusations. Some mysterious some
body starts a story and it is passed 70
some other somebody and then the
self-righteous citizen hears 1t and
gets busy by having himself quoted In
the press. The defendant in the Des
Moines case says he was not actual
ed by malice, but considered he was
merely performing public duty.
More hypocrites are hiding behind
this sense of public duty" than are
really actuated by honest motives. At
any rate the Des Moines man who
made the rash charges against the
councilman, whether he wins or loses,
will have learned lesson that will
last him life time. 1t perhaps would
be wise for others, not only in Des
Moines, but in other communities as
well, to take heed from this.

taken down by local labor, and after
the convention Is over will be the
property Of the local aerie.
The Eagles plan to decorate the
streets In manner which is thor
oughly unique and which will make a
splendid showing. The committee re-
ports that it expects to out do any
thing in the decorating line that has
ever been used along Main street for
any former convention or decoration
which means that the decorations
will be something out of the ordinary.
Main street from the levse to Four
teenth street will be decorated, as
will Johnson and Water streets, and
Sixth from Main to Blondeau This
will be the official street to the con-
vention hall and headquarters at the
E1ks club.
Besides the street decorations, sew
eral of the buildings will be taken
care Of by the committee and will be
dressed in gala attire. The Elks club
will be handsomely apparreIled for
the convention as will the Moose
clubs buildings Both Of these will
be Official headquarters for the con-
.ventfon
Word has been received from vari-
ous cities that their aeries are going
to bring big delegations and several
Of these are planning to bring their
bands with them. The music will be
amply taken care Of by the various
bands of the aeries in the state. This
Will be big feature Of the conven-
ton.
Between fifteen hundred and two
thousand people are expected to at
tend the cow ention here. Keokuk will
be given wonderful amount OF ad- !
vertising by the two big conventions
which will be here this coming month.
