Necessary to Government.

The use of the brains of the COM
mon people is necessary If our govern
ment is to be perpetuated. With the
enfranchlsement of women, which is
bound to come in this free America
We are coming into the binding light
of pure democracy, a government by
the people. In such government
there is no place for an ignoramus.
Every man will have to use his brains
and every woman will have to think
for they are the rulers. Why is it
that a political candidate will rush
around speaking ten days or ten hours
before election in an effort to influence
votes? No man with any brains in
his head is going to change his mind
on how he is going to vote at that late
hour. The fact of the business is that
the politicians know lot of people
don't use their brains but go by emo
ton. Well only perpetuate this kind
of government by the use of the
average brain of the average man
and by the moral standards of the
common people.

The Donnellson people have asked
that the Keokuk delegation headed by
the band make parade Of the race
track as close to two O'Clock as pos
sible. This will be done by the local
boosters. Those who went up in their
machines early in the day are asked
to meet the afternoon crowd and to
join in the parade. The people who
go on the Burlington special are also
expected to get out and mingle with
the rest Of the Keokuk bunch. 1t is
the desire to take Donnellson by storm
for Keokuk.
The autos which leave here tomor-
row afternoon will follow pace MAX
er. They must keep a certain distance
apart and the cars in the rear will
not under any circumstances be al
lowed to do any joy riding in the eff
fort to pass the cars ahead. In this
way the ride can be made a safe one,

Dead Through UnbeIief.
And again we are dead because of
unbelief, unbelief in God and in our
fellow men. That man, that city, that
state, that nation is dead which does
not believe that tomorrow holds in
its hand hope and that we may live
tomorrow on a better and a higher
plane If we but strive today. Jane
Adams believed, Jerry McCauley be-
lieved, Abraham Lincoln believed,
Maude BallingIon Booth, whose shad-
ow the prisoners kiss as 1t falls upon
the prison wall, believes. Practically
all racial evils are due to unbelief A
few people have believed in few
cities that the red light district, that
ulcerous spot on our city of today,
could be cured and it has beens It
can be cured in any city If the people
but believe it can. Why do we have
war? Because we believe it is newt
able, We prepare for it and arm our
selves to the teeth, live in expecta-
ton of it and at the drop of hat
rush into the horrors of blood and
death. Did you ever think how this
war idea is dinned into the minds Of
our children? Literature is full of it;
it runs rampant in art. In my home
city of Indianapolis, every public sta
tue save one glorifies war. We take
our little boys to the park and say
there is our national hero-he is al

there have been German soldiers
within the last week who have said
it is an unjust war,Iland have laid

There are millions of people who be-

the universal brotherhood of man is
dawning. If all the world could be-

would pass as the night. A common

Wreckage Being Picked Out Of
Stream Piece by Piece-Cars

AUGUSTA, Jan. 9.-It will cost the
Southern Railway more than $4,000
to repair the damage which was done
here a short time ago when two pas
senger engines ran into a string OF
freight cars on the trestle over the
Savannah River
The accident occurred at ; o'clock
in the morning when Hostler {. I.
Forbes was bringing two engines
from the Hamburg, S. c., yards to the
Union Depot. There were no lights
on the freight cars, which had been
left on the trestle through careless
ness, it is said, and there was a
heavy fog The hostler a negro help
err and a callboy had narrow escapes
from drowning.

trestle as one entire span fell into

was nearest Hamburg fell on the jet

Southern Railway engineers in a
few days had temporary span ar
ranged.
The engines and freight cars are
