station or a temporary machine shop for
the repair of vessels Occupied or cap
tured. it must then be mined and forti-
fed. The marines will do the work. They
will go forth with all their gear as berth
makers for the navy.
In showing the admiral Of the Atlantic
Fleet, recently, down on the Island OF
Culebra- how such operations can be
carried out successfully, Col. Barnett I'M
consciously made his promotion both
! certain and logical The marines, whom
he had trained and whom he now direct
ed in person, blasted rock and built a
railroad to the top of the bluffs, rs feet
above the harbor and, there on the
heights. emplaced their defensive artil-
lery. It was a great achievement and
was one of the brilliant maneuvers
which caused George Barnett to become
major general.
Marines, officers, of course ,as well as
men, must always be ready to take ship
at an hours notice. They are called the
soldiers. Of the sea. Infantrymen would
better describe them. though they are
also skilled in the use of cannons and
torpedoes. Indeed, they must know how
to fight on land and water, to charge
with leveled rifles and to work the
smaller guns on the decks Of battleships.
In war and peace they are here today
and somewhere else tomorrow.

There is an element of pertinency
in the editorial by Phil Dalham in the
Warsaw Bulletin requesting neigh.
h<rly attitude on the part OF Keol~k
toward Warsaw. The suggestion can
be enlarged to include other neighbor-
ing towns. Warsaw will celebrate this
fall. AS a neighborly act this city
should participate very generously In
sending large delegations during the
Fort Edwards monument celebration.
The Donnellson, the West Point fair.
the Kahoka fair and any other public
event that will give Keokuk an oppor-
tunity to show her friendliness should
be participated In with willingness
and spirit that will strengthen the
good feeling between the communi-
ties. 1t has been suggested that when
the events mentioned above take plce
that as many Keokuk people who can
visit the various fairs and celebra-
lions. Most business men own auto
mobiles and automobile parties would
prove a popular way OF visiting our
neighbors. The recent movement on
the part of the Retail League to Gull
tivate a larger acquaintance among
the people OF the neighboring towns
is commendable The plan should be
enlarged upon and it is certain that
an extended acquaintance viii result
and a good feeling promoted that will
be beneficial to all. The neighbortng
cities always respond when Keokuk
celebrates. 1t is proper that keokuk
reciprocate.

To tire Editor OF The Gate City:
a dispatch in recent issue OF
your valued paper, mentioned the az
rest at Richmond, Indiana, OF two
Christian Science practitioners &C.
cused of treating case Of diphtheTia.
which was not reported for quaran-
tine. and also upon the technical
charge of practicins medicine with
out license
Investigation of this case, discloses
the fact ttat neither the coroner nor
the prosecuting attorney charged the
defendants with failure to report a
case c. diphtheria- I am reliably in
formed that there were no evidences
of diphtheria in connection with the
case a. any time. Il looks to the
casual observer as though this was
another instance OF persecution upon
the part of vested medical interests.

Scientists are perhaps more particu-
lar in observing quarantine laws than
any other class OF people. They be-
lieve IN strict observance of and com
oliance with the precepts Of the gold
en- rule in this and all other respects.
If physicians OF other schools were
to be arrested upon every occasion
that they lose diphtheria case or
other disease, the prosecuting attor-
ney would be kept somewhat busy
Christian Scientists do not claim. as
vet, that in every instance they are
able TO ward off the last enemy
but the fact remains that its practice
has resulted in the healing in thou
sands of instances of those cases
which no other system OF healing hal
been able to heal. and Christian Sci
ence treatment has been especially
efficacious with children.

THE uNNoTEp HEROES.


There are heroes who have never
Heard the fearful din OF battle,
Heroes who. unknown forever,
Labor where no sabers rattle;
There are heroes who are giving
Joy TO others day by day,
Who are making life worth living
Just by earning honest pay
There are heroes wto are wearing
No bright medals TOR their merit:
Heroes who may no. be sharing
Splendor that the proud inherit;
There are heroes who prefer the
Tasks of Fighting Wrongful things.
GAnd thus make themselves more
worthy
Than the pampered sons OF kings
There are heroes, accomplishing,
Who are striving daily. yearly,
So the goals We would be gaining
May each morning shine more clear
ly;
There are heroes, unrewarded,
Who, by toiling late and long
In surroundings that are sordid,
Help the luckless to be strong
There are heroes with wan faces,
Who uplift their fallen brothers;
Heroes who. in lowly places,
Labor for the love Of others.
Why not pause sometimes TO cheer
them
For the courage they reveal?
Why not willingly revere them
For their patience and their zeal?
