GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILWAYS.

The subject of government owner
ship of railways has been brought to
the front of late by Senator Kenyon
and others and is likely to receivs
considerable attention in the near
future. The appearance OF an inter-
esting and informing volume in which
it is intelligentIy discussed in all its
phases by Mr.. Samuel o. Dunn, the
able editor Of the Railway Age Ga
zette, Is therefore most timely Mr..
Dunn's purpose is, first, to give in
formation as to the comparative re-
suits of public and private ownership
and management Of railways In vari-
ious leading and typical countries.
His chief purpose, however, is to try
to direct serious consideration to the
question of whst-in view OF thu ex-
perience of other counties with state
ownership and management, and OF
the conditions existing in the Uniteo
States-would probably be the re-
suits OF the adoption of government
ownership and management of rail
ways. The author is one OF the fore
most authorities OF America on rail-
road questions and his treatment OF
the subject may be regarded as con-
sentative, judicial and fair
The transportation problem has
three vital factors: rates, service and
financial return, all of which are in
terdependent. In this volume Mr..
Dunn discusses these, not per Sc, but
with view to their proper, and in
the long run necessary, regulation.
The principles OF rate making are

Receives Letters From Baseball
Mon in That Town.

M. E. Justice. president of the Cen
trail Association, today received two
letters from baseball men at Clinton
In regard to the organization of the
club there. The letters are from G. E.
Armstrong, who represented Clinton
at the meeting in Burlington, and Bert
Hough, formerly manager. of the Mon
mouth club, who will probably lead
the club at Clinton this year. Both
the letters indicate that baseball men
Of Clinton are very optimistic over
the outlook In that city, and state
that fans there are intensely interest
ed in the game.
Following the meeting held in Gin
ton yesterday two men, F. w. Ellis
and Mr.. Schuyler. who are interested
in the game there, went out with sub
scription lists and raised $1.700, after
an hours work. This is indeed a re-
markable record and one that prom
Uses great things for the success OF
Clinton as baseball town in the Cen
trail Association. Both letters stated
that the $4,000 which they wish to
raise before the opening of the season
can be obtained without any dit
ficulty.
Although formal articles Of con-
tract have not yet been drawn up be-
tween the city of Clinton and the
Central Association, it is practically an
assured fact that Clinton will be one
OF the two new cities in the league
this coming season.

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing 1t with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilates
the food you eat
Thanks to remarkable new scien-
tiflc discovery, it Is now possible to
combine into simple form the very ele-
ments needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich. fat-laden blood. This master
stroke of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est OF hesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its regenerative, reconstruc-
tive powers to coax the stomach and
intestines to literally soak up the fat
tening elements of your food and pass
them into the blood, where they are
carried TO every starved. broken
down cell and tissue of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing transformation has
taken place and you notice how your
cheeks fill out, hollows about your
neck. shoulders and bust disappear
and you take on from 10 TO 20 pounds
Iof solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is alb
solutely harmless, inexpensive, eff.
ficient. Wilkinson & Co., and other
leading druggists OF Keokuk and
vicinity have it and will refund your
money II you are not satisfied, as per
the guarantee found in every pack
age.
Caution: While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming nerv.
GUS dyspepsia and general oh
troubles it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.--Advert.sem

Deep craven in the grateful heart

REV. GEORGE G. WILLIAMS.

REV. GEORGE c. WILLIAMS.
The resignation Of Rev. George c.
Williams as pastor of the First Con-
gregational church of Keokuk, an
nounced in The Gate City yesterday,
has occasioned general and profound
regret. Keokuk has had Mr.. Williams
| for eight years, and he has become so
much part of 1t, and SO large part.
that the thought of losing him had
never occurred to anyone. 1t is still
difficult to realize, even in the face OF
his announcement that he has accept
ed charge elsewhere, that he is 60
ing to leave us. Unwelcome news
meets with reluctant acceptance and
lis slowly and grudgingly assimilated
by the consciousness.
Rev. Mr.. Williams holds, and has
long held, unique position in this
community. Many able men have fill
led pulpits and ministered to congre-
cations here. Many Of these have
been popular. It is not invidious to
say that In point OF ability Mr.. Will
isams is the peer OF the best of them.
He has a large, well-developed and
Systematically trained mind which
goes instantly to the heart of things.
He analyses. compares and deduces
with mathematical certainty. He has
a correct idea Of the proper proportion
of things and their relations to each
other. and he makes it point to
know his subject thoroughly before
he utters word concerning 1t. This
enables him to speak with clearness,
eloquence and force. He is sure Of
himself. and his words carry conyic-
ton to every open mind. But Mr..
Williams has qualities aside from
these and in addition to them that
contribute in no small degree to the
high admiration and esteem in which
ne is SO generally held. His heart is
as big in its way as his brain. All its
Impulses make for broad and gen
erous view of things. His sympathies
are as wide as humanity and he ex-
ercises them freely. There isn't an
iota OF narrowness, or pettiness, or big
otry, or prescription In his makeup
He is permeated and saturated with
love for humanity, as well as love Of
Cod, and it finds expression in his
every thought. utterance and deed.
Small wonder, then. that he is the
most popular minister Keokuk has
ever known Others have hcen noDu-
lar in their own congregations and in
limited circles outside OF them. Mr..
Williams is popular with Keokuk as
a whole. Members OF other commun.
ions. and people without any church
whatever, vie with the
members of his congregation in ex-
pressions of admiration for his char
acter, ability and good work Nomin-
ally he is pastor Of the First Congre-
church. In larger sense he
is Keokuk's pastor.
Mr.. Williams has exerted profound
influence on Keokuk thought and life
and has accomplished much good.
Perhaps it is a selfish view to lake OF
the matter, but regret cannot be sup
pressed that he is soon to go else
where. This city would gladly retain
him IL it could. Since it finds it can.
not, it will send its best wishes with
him. Keokuk's loss is Newton's
cain. and Newton is to be congratulate
ed accordingly.

It is a wonderful illusion. Let lis

reign Of Napoleon, who would not go
far to see talking picture where
the voice and the personality of one
of the mightiest figures that ever
stormed across the world could be re-
produced true to life? One of the
manly new features will be John j.
