/ In the Chicago Tribune of October
81. Dr. Charles Protens Steinmetz
cLief electrical engineer of one Of the
greatest electrical concerns in the
world, in an interesting address be
fore the Electric club-Jovian league
at the Hotel Sherman, predicted that
electricity in all of its uses will sup
ercede steam, just as the latter toos
| the place of hand labor, and he also
/ gave a most sensible reason for the
utilization of electric power by trans
mission line. saying that steam had
TO be used where made, but electrical
power could be sent anywhere for hun
dreds of miles He said electricity
will break down the congestion OF
cities. and scatter the population even
Iy over the continent; he said the
high cost is all that is standing In the
way and that is due to the limited
use of the electrical motor rather
tina, any natural disability; all we
need is more general distribution: the
more we use it the lower the cost per
unit, and the more electricity will
supplant steam and hand power, Just
as steam once supplanted hand power.
This is fine argument for our great
dam and predicts the great blessings
that will ultima e1v Cow from it, in
creasing from year to year, thus max
ing life more enjoyable. and its bene-
ficiaries happier and more contentel.
and in fact going farther stili, electric
ity viii act as moral uplift the world
over.

calling on Warsaw friends today.
Speaking of the proposed 1916 fall
celebration. why not make the PRO-
posed third day strictly WARSAW
day" in all that the name implies
boost Warsaw before our visitors In
every way imaginable, make Warsaw
attractive for one day at least. for she
can be a residence town If perhaps
rot a factory town; she can house the
operatives of Keoku-z's factories, and
the trolley will get them to their
work in Keokuk by 7 a. M: besides
many of the operatives draw. big sal
aries, and are accustomed to living
IN up to date houses, so Warsaw may
make note Of that II we don't de
eide upon a Warsaw day in our cele
bration, make it an Eagle day" or a
i"Woodmen day" "Children's day
or anything else that would be popu
lar. Cut out the carnival idea in the
celebration, try to be as original as
is possible, but we might have band
contest, burlesque circus parade, for
al auto parade and many other at
fractions, but money will be the key
that will unlock everything.
