~ EOKUk has taken her place as q
convention city. She has been
touted and Is being touted as a
royal entertainer OF convention bodies.
Since January 1 thousands OF conven'
ton delegates have dined with Keo-
kuk as a host and today the city has
a greater reputation for hospitality as
a convention city than an other city
in the middle west.
Since the first of the year there
have been five big conventions here.
A like number have come to Keokuk
as a side trip from nearby cities
where the conventions were being
held. A score Of smaller organiza-
tons and societies have come and
gone, dipping into the Keokuk hos
pitality which has been extended on
all sides.

Ohio Woman, Still single, Sends
Greetings to Her only Love, a
Handsome Man Of
California.
AFFAIR IS A OLD
He, Twice Widower, Receives Mess
ace From Sweetheart he PIC
nicked With at the
Age Of 1e.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 20
Francois Villon may ask in an I'M
mortal sheer, "Where are the girls OF
y~esteryear?" and Warden Hoyle may
cynically say that the constancy OF
woman runs but for three years and a
day, but out of the past there mas
f1ickered a message from Ohio to Cal
lifornia that tells how an affection
once planted in a woman's heart new
er ceases to burn.
In July, 1S49, Stephen T. Gage, IL
years old, took Mary Stevens. 16. for
a ride along the beach and maple up
lands of Ashtabula, O., and, boy and
girl together they picnicked by a
leaf-embowered stream. There was
a spark that went with the glances OF
the two, but fate swung their lives
far apart.
A %strapping, six-foot-three-youth, he
Joined the pilgrimage to the land OF
Ell Dorado, while she remained in the
comparative quietude of the ONO
home.
He went into freighting over the
big Sierra divide from HangtoWn
(P~lacerville) into Nevada, n IN
1856 was sent as an assemblyman on
the Know Nothing ticket to represent
his county, then the empire county
Of the state" in the legislature, the
legislative session Of which he is now
the sole survivor.
Grew in Influence.
In his freighting he charged all
the traffic would bear and he grew
in influence and confidence in the
transportation game. When 1t came
time to organize the building of the
great transcontinental railroad young
Gage was a factor to be reckoned
with, and he joined the Crockers,
Stanford, Cotton, Huntington, and the
rest in carrying the project to its con-
clusion.
Then he became a commanding
figure in the politics Of California and
Nevada, the confidant and right hand
of Stanford in carrying forward the
railroads manifold policies. He made
governors and judges, assessors, Sec
retaries and controllers with a nod
anu uulldue LueLl Will q A "
fawned for his favor and scurried
from his frown.
He married, but not the girl Of the
July picnic Of A~shtabula in h Tar
dim Ohio of his youth. Death made
him a widower-twice. Age came,
and with time the companions of his
youth, his mature manhood and his
achievements went their way. But
that age left him straight and rudy
and rugged-quick of eye, firm OF
step, patriarchal as to beard, but still
such a figure that has made him
called" the h~andsomest man in Cali
fornia."
Old Love Rekindied.
But all these years in the faraWay
Ohio a woman remembered that
Fourth of July picnic out Of Ashta-
bula beneath the beeches n the ma
pies, remembered the CLEAN in his
eye, recalled the pressure Of his hand,
a ride and picnic over the same old
road out of A~shtabula-a ride under
the beech and maple shade, a picnic
by the same leaf-embowered stream.
And now there has come to Stephen
T. Gage, SO years old, from Mary e.
Stevens, 81, a telegraphed message
reading:
ITO my first and only beau"
Happy returns Of the day." replied
Stephen T. Gage, and hummed an

PANAMA TOLLS QUESTION.

United States Senator Elihu B.
Root of New York, the leading Re-
publican member of that august body
of statesmen, in a five hours speech
delivered from the floor of the SEN
ate May 21st, valiantly defended
President Wilson on his position re-
garding exemption from duty, goods
of American coastwise steamers
through the Panama canal. Senator
Root takes the position of all think
ing men of the nation, regardless
of party affiliation, that the ques-
tion of free tolls to any class Of
shippers, is violation of the Hay
Paunceforte treaty. passed by the
senate of the United States, Dec
ember 10th. 1901, and signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt soon after.
Under President Taft's administra-
ton, through the manipulation of
the friends of the ship-subsidy, that
portion of the treaty allowing Am
erican chartered vessels to pass
through the canal free of charge,
was passed by the senate and signed
by the president, but was never rat
flied by England. President Wilson

DESPITE THE KNOCKERS
COLORADO is PROSPEROUS

Notwithstanding the blight that has
been placed upon Colorado by the
muckrakers and yellow journals of,
not only our own state, but by the
trouble breeders of the Upton St.
Clair and Bill Haywood stripe of cit
izenship of the east, we are forging
to the front in numerous industries.
There are more acres being devot-
ed to agriculture than ever before,
and the heavy SHOWS of the winter
and warm rains of tn, spring, as
sure abundant crops in all of the
dry farming region. The fruit crop
on the western slope, and in the vi
cinity of Canon City, promises an
enormous yield, while the berry
crop throughout the state will be un-
usually large from the greatly in
creased acreage. The mining indus
try for precious metals show more
activity than for many years. The
mines not only show larger and more
continuous veins of ore than form
erly, but the average grade of ore
has been largely increased.
New and improved methods of treat
ment of ores and the remodeling of
mills to conform to the treatment
of ores in a particular locality, are
doing much for the mining indus
try, with the result that many of the
dumps that have heretofore been con
sidered worthless are now being turn
ed to a profit.
Recent government statistics sub
mitted show metal mines so far this
year have greater net dividend
than either oil, steel, manufacturing
or any other source of investment,
and capital is now gradually secur-
ing investment in safe mining stocks
and securities.
A spirit of optimism permeates
every industry of the state and the
despoilers of society who have ma
liciously been trying to disrupt Col
orado and cloud her people, should
be deported to fields and pastures
new, where satan reigns supreme,
and will continue to guide their pol
uted and untruthful souls.

MARTIN CANNOT

We note that the Pueblo Chieftain
has taken up the Barkhausen cue
and adroitly sympathizes with John
A. Martin because Charley Thomas
has again cast his hat into the ring
for a reelection to the United States
senate. We call the Chieftains at
tention to the fact that there is a
vast difference between the caliber
of John a. Martin and little Bennie
Lindsey and the Chieftain's Repub-
lican dope does not act upon Martin
like self-raising yeast and swell him
to the size of a presidential aspir-
ant, as is the case with the lillipu-
tian Judge. John A. Martin is not
seeking the office of U. S. senator
at this time any more than Senator
Patterson is seeking the office of
governor, and any attempt at side
tracking him by bringing him before
the people for an office he is not
seeking only strengthens him in, not
only his own convictions, but in the
estimation of the people, who will
see that he lands in the Colorado
governors chair after tie November
election. The Chieftain is an admir-.
able paper for law and order and
state rights, but when it comes to
politics it is like a 80 per cent qui-
nine pill to a Democrats taste.

PACKAGES MUST TELL
TRUTH AS TO CONTENTS

The regulations for the carrying
| out of the so-called ''net-weight law"
| which compels manufacturers to
volume or contents of their packages
Of food, were signed May II by the
secretaries of the treasury, agricul-
ture, and commerce. These regula-
tions apply to foods shipped in inter-
state commerce or sold in the Dis
trict of Columbia or the territories.
The regulations as signed become eff,
fective at once, although the law,
passed March 8, 1913, as an amend
ment to the food and drugs act, de-
fers the exacting of penalties for vio-
lations until September 8, 1914.
The regulations, in general, require
that the manufacturer of foods shall
plainly mark all packages, bottles, or
other containers holding more than
2 ounces avoirdupois, or more than
l fluid ounce, to show the net weight
or volume of the contents. The mea-
sure must be stated in avoirdupois
pounds and ounces, United States
gallons, quarts, pints. or fluid oun-
ces, United States standard bushels.
half bushels, pecks, quarts, pints or
half pints. The contents by a like
method may be expressed in terms
OF metric weight or measure. The vol
ume of liquids must be computed at
6S' F.
The quantity stated on the contain
er must represent the actual guam
tity of food, exclusive of wrappings
and container.
In general, solids must be stated
in terms of weight and liquids in
terms of volume, except that where
there is a definite trade custom 9TH
erwise any marking of the package
in terms that are generally under
stood to express definite quantities
will be permitted. The quantity of
viscuous or semisol!d food or of mix
lures of solids and liquids may be
stated either by weight or measure.
but the statement must clearly indi-
cate whether the quantity is express
ed in terms Of weight or measure.
In the case of certain articles. the
contents may be stated by numerical
count, provided such numerical count
gives accurate information as to the
quantity of food in the package. I'm
der this requirement 1t would not
be enough to state that a package
of candy contained "a cream pepper
mints, as candies vary in size. and
this would not be statement of
the actual quantity of candy in the
package.
The regulations also permit the
statement of minimum volume or
weight, as minimum weight. 12 oun-
ces"; Minimum volume, / gallon;
Not less than ounces" In such
cases the amount stated must ap-
proximate the actual quantity . No
variations below the stated minimum
quantity will be permitted.
The statement of weight or mea-
sure must be marked in terms of
the largest unit contained in the
package; for example, If the package
contains a pound and fraction. the
contents must be expressed in terms
of pounds and fractions thereof. or
pounds and ounces. and not merely
In ounces.

COM M ENcEMENT.

'In the Spring a different iris,
comes upon the FURNISHED dove.
In the Spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love-"
And even so in the springtime of
youth, do the buds of knowledge en-
large that they may soon burst
forth in all their radient beauty and
fragrance. Now is the appointed
time when the youth of our institu-
tions of learning throughout the land
are putting forth the buds of hope
that in time will blossom and bear
their blushing honors thick about
them.
Commencement at school is sugges-
tive of many things, and afford seri-
iuos reflection to thinking mind. 1t
is the day when life's battle begins;
when we are about to go forth into
the broad and busy world to meet its
temptations and its storms. The day
of commencement is at hand, and
with 1t comes the silvery peal Of joy
Gus laughter mingled with the inno-
cent badinage of embryonic geniuses
With it we may see the gaily attired
visions of blossoming womanhood, and
the first long pants of aspiring man
hood. With it there is borne upon
the breeze fragments of refreshing
melody tempered by the riotous
music of childish laughter. Strangely
mingled with this conglomerate mix
ture of youthful jollity may be heard
choice bits of oratory-oratory that
mayhap stamps the author az a
chaste and classic valedictorian, and
with care and consummate pride this
literary effusion will be pasted in
the family scrap book to be handed
down to posterity as a memento of
this memorable occasion, after having
been delivered to the noiseless throng
of interested listeners. Z.
On every breeze is waited the
strains of childish music, and the
vibrant tones of stringed instruments
are heard in the distance. All this
is the beautiful refrain of natures
endless song, and is significant of
countless things. Friendships are
formed that may endure to the end,
and the destiny of each and every
one is shaped at this period, the
blissful springtime of life. This Is
the crucial time of life's onward
movement, and we little realize how
important Is the first step taken
since one slight mistake, one stride
in the wrong direction, and unendur-
ing misery, poverty and distress is
the penalty paid
How many blasted hopes and blight
ed lives result from choosing a voca-
ton at random just because it is
available or is suggested through en-
vironment, and the choice is made
in defiance to adaptability! How
all resisting reefs of failure through
the disposition to achieve in a dir
ection Numerically opposed to fit
ness! How many graduates of our
high schools and colleges are under
the impression that their education
is complete after the last essay is
read on commencement night!
Commencement marks an epoch
where the mind is endowed with Wig.

and follow its various windings
