Yesterdays dispatches announced
that if press of public business permit
ted, President Wilson would go to
New York to meet the bodies of the
men who fell at the landing at Vera
Cruz and whose bodies are being
bought home in leaden collins. The
same day dispatches briefly an
inounced the death of Major General
Sickals. The nations executive pub
licly mourns the loss Of these men
who fell in the line of the discharge
lof their legitimate duties-while the
passing of the last but one Of the fight
ing Major Generals of the great civil
war goes by unnoticed by the new
king"
Fifty-one years ago General Sickels
held the strategic point in the line Of
battle at Gettysburg, and SO fierce
was the assault by the enemy at this
point that General Meade twice ord
cred him to give it up and fall back.
General Sickels refused to fall back
and so Little Round Top" was saved

so that the battle was gained and the
tide of invasion of the north turned
back. The old men of the two

just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug

it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completeis

GREATER IOWA.

The real purpose back Of the boost.
er trip of a number OF Iowa men who
visited Keokuk Monday evening is to
get closer working organization in
the state known as the Greater Iowa
movement. No matter what the diff
ference of opinion may be relative to
the representation of the state at the
Panama exposition in San Francisco
there can be no difference as to the
necessity and benefit that Greater
Iowa movement would bring to the
whole state. These men evidently see
the necessity for such a concerted
movement or they would not leave
their business to promote the idea.
With state SO rich in products as
Iowa, with so much to commend it
self to the people Of the whole world
every effort should be made to in
crease ths population Results come
from united action and that Is what
these men are after. keokuk can
well afford to enter into, such spirit
and such an organization When a
state wide question is up and when
action from all sections of the COM
is desired and essential to
any project that involves the welfare
Of the whole state such an organiza-
ton as the Greater Iowa could lend
its strength and influence. 1t would
be effective. Ralph Bolton of Des
Moines pertinently pointed out the
good effect OF organization In his re-
marks at the Industrial association
rooms Monday evening.

MILITARY ROADS IN IOWA.

of money for what were called Mill.

from Dubuque by way of the terri
toriai capital at lowe City and county
seats to such point on the northern
boundary of the state of Missouri as
might be best suited for it's future ex.
tension by that state to the cities of
jefferson and ST. Louis. The secre-
tary Of war was also authorized to
spend $4,000 on the construction of a
road from Burlington through the
counties of Des Moines, Henry, and
Van Buren, towards the Indian agency
on the river Des Moines. Later con-
gress gave $4,000 for constructing
and keeping in repair bridges on

At the instance of the Iowa Auto.
mobile association. Governor Clarke
has issued proclamation calling up.
on the people of the state of Iowa to
devote June 18th wholly to roads
Mr.. Nissen of the State Automobile
association states that they expect to
assist in organizing each county to
hold meetings, dragging contests. etc.
to arouse the greatest possible inter.
est in good roads.
The Iowa Road Maker wishes to
suggest that every community ar.
range to take this day off from all
regular duties and spend 1t, If not in
actual road work, at least in discuss.
ing the subject and in listening to men
who have given 1t special study.
If the weather is reasonably favor
albe, every road in Iowa ought to be
dragged for this day. incidentally
we might suggest that every road in
Iowa must be dragged when II
needs it but that does not mean by
any possibility that they are being &c
cared for.
Great interest has been manifested
in good roads days in other states and
Iowa certainly ought not to be an ex
ception to the rule. Road drag day
last year was quite generally OBJ
served in spite OF the fact that
it was extremely dry and therefore un
pleasant to drag. Let us make every
arrangement to take full advantage OF
the opportunity to work together al
this time and make splendid show
ing throughout the state.

rig PETscH INTERURHAN.

Within the past few weeks repre-
sentativas OF the proposed Petsch IN
| terurban road have been soliciting
subscriptions in Keokuk for an cleo
trio lire to run from Fort Madison 20
Keokuk. touching Nauvoo. Carthage
and Hamilton, and Elvaston; possibly
other points. There Is no question
but that such line would be OF IN
estimabls value to this city. It would
tap country that is rich In farm
products and populated with happy
and prosperous people. It would
seem that such line should from the
start prove prosperous. The only rear
The Gate City entertains Is that the
promoters may not get sufficient en-
couragement to make the line real
ity. We believe that Messrs. Petsch
and Payne are earnest in tier efforts
to see such line constructed. They
have no doubt gone carefully over
the proposition and realize Its bene-
At to the cities and towns and coun-
try touched. Those who are familiar
with the conditions agree that 1t
looks like a practical and sensible
proposition. And the one feature that
indicates q broad element of fairness
Is that money subscribed will not be
called for until the line is in actual
operation. This makes 1t safe prop
osit1on. There is no question of the
great amount of benefit it would be
to the Keokuk merchants and there
is an earnest hope in this city that
the movement succeeds.

ovERwoRkEp COMMISSIONS.

Whatever may ba said as to the oe
/ STABILITY OF state or national resuia
ton of public utilities, the admins
ttrative difficulties are unques.ionaDiy
enormous. The amount Of detail WORK
put upon the commissions OF the var1-
GUS states, by the public utility laws
is SO great that 1t IL questionapie
whether any of these commissions IS
even yet equipped to make avai'able
for intelligent use the vast mass OF
information, which the utilities are
compelled to furnish them. Indeed IN
MANY cases, commissions are forced
by the very volume of duties imposed
upon them to devote their attention
to those which they consider the most
important and to neglect Others OF
Sc emingly less Importance.
This point was strikingly illustrated
by the house committee on interstate
commerce during the course of the
hearing on the steel car bills.
One speaker advanced the argu-
ment that under the jurisdiction OF
the interstate commerce commission
the affairs of electric railways would
be neglected in favor of the Sc sming-
" more important matters connected
with steam roads, and pointed out
that after six or seven years turfs-
diction over electric railways, the
commission paid So little attention TO
this branch of its work that 1t was
impossible to find on its reports list
of the electric railways reporting and
their mileage.
The administration Of the affairs OF
a single railway company is work
of completely and magnitude. Multi
piled by the number of companies IN
our larger states it assumes colossal
and while regulation is,
Of course, not administration, In many
instances, in some OF It.; aspects, II
is fast approaching 1t and IN conse-
1uence the detail assumed by the
is swapping their forces,

sponsible for those delays, which are
lampering to the companies, annoy
ing to the public, and costly to the
state.

MANY PEOPLE ARE
At BLUFFS ALL DAY
LARGE GRO WDS SPEND FOURTH
OF JULY UP THE RIVER
ON PICNICS.

A great many people spent the
Fourth up the river at different points
and at Rock Bluff. The complete
boating ervice which has just been
inaugurated between the city and
Rock Bluff park, was truly christened
on the nations birthday. All day long
the boats which were run on half
hour schedule were crowded to the ut.
most with excursionists. Some people
stood for an hour or more in line wait
ing to secure seats as after all seats
were taken no more were allowed on
the boats.
Arriving at the bluffs the different
parties separated into little groups
scattered all about the park and the
surrounding woods. The cool fresh
ness of the woods and ravines at that
place were inviting for such jaunts.
The Fifty-fourth regimental band was
at the park during the greater part Of
the day and evening and with the
music the enjoyment of the day was
greatly increased. The festivities
were fittingly closed in the evening by
an elaborate display of fireworks in.
Guiding several LARGE pieces and an
extensive use of colored fire.
