other place. The suggestion that ma
chimes stop until passengers alighting
from street cars are safely out OF the
way may well be applied here. Many
auto drivers are criminally reckless in
this regard. and it has been more luck
than anything else that Keokuk has
not had fatality from this source.
Here is the Gazette's comment:
In connection with the automobile
accident case, decided in the district
court yesterday, attention is called
to the fact that street cars, which
cater to the public and are operated
for the public convenience, are unlike
other vehicles, inasmucF as they cam
not turn out for every obstruction.

pense-
The proposition as suggested by
Mr.. Randall is to connect J street
with Lincoln avenue. This would
mean the building of a road through
the cemetery. A circular road was
his suggestion for this. This would
make an artistic highway and would
allow the thoroughfare to pass
through the grounds without disturb
Ing any of the lots now being used.
The connection with Lincoln avenue
would bring the road to the Indus
trial tract.
Almost Direct Line.
This would give almost a straight
Rad from West Keokuk to the Indus
tr1al tract, and would help to connect
The western portion OF the city with
tie newer additions. AS 1t is now,
rzsre must be a detour Of a half mile
through Paiean street. II the road
Eaouit be built around the cemetery
property 20 the west, the detour
would be even greater.
Ar. Randall is certain that he can
secure the right Of way through four

UNLESS DELEGATE FATHERS IDEA
 IT IS NO IDEA ONLY A DREAM


- DlTOR RIVARD, of the Kechkan Progressive who h, always been staunch friend and strong supporter Delegate Wickersham has a greivance against tI neman who represents Alaska in Congress- and in the a ue of his paper he gives vent to his feelings as follows:
 Some years gone by, were told that in the event we wanted favor from congress- had better whis- per In our Delegates ear what we wanted and then then keep quiet; and that pretty soon the Delegate would claim to be the father of the idea-he is inclined to be fathery anyhOwand then and there would strat fight for 1t; whatever 1t was. We thought at the tune that the friendly admonition was a sander Simple minded, suspected that unless the Delegate IS acknowledged to be the father of every idea; it is idea at all it is but dream In other words, he must be the originator of ideas otherwise you may well keep your idas under your hat for all the encouragement youl get It looks very much like it today.
 Here is the point, just for the lack of terminal rates to hold commerce. the verge of oos- ing very means of living yet the Delegate posi- lively and irrevocaby- y-at least not for forty years refuses to lend his support endeavor to prevent the blow of the impeding danger threatening us and apparently for other than that he is not the the father of the indea Not only that but he has refused to listen to entreaty to discuss the mat ter but said: YOu cannot get my support for that in forty years"
 For peace's sake, we hope that there is a misun- derstandlng somewhere, because would hate like sixty to wake up to find that selfish or conceited man has been representing people who's broad mindness is world famed. We must admit that of late years; like some of present territorial soons, the Delegate appears to have faults to find with everybody. He even went so far as to say that of the Juneau newspapers had the territorial legislature "buffalo- ed." This attack will no doubt lead some one to ask the impertinent, but not irrelevant question: Was the Delegate sore because he beaten to it2 While the Delegates accusation may have the element of truth as to a certain number of the lawmakers, we know some mebers whom newspaper delegate can butfalo thank goodness

San Diego, Cal, Feb. 5.-In no less
critical position than the Japanese
cruiser Asama, which is aground near
Point Bartolome, but further down the

Colon, formerly a Mexican vessel, was

general merchandise for Salina Cruz
and which carried crew of 20 men,
left Guaymas January 30 and was driv,

about midway between Guaymas and

session and thus provide more food for
its army.
A number of England's merchant
ships undoubtedly will be sunk and
some confusion will prevail, but sub.
marines cannot do more than form a
paper blockade, which all neutrals are
entitled to ignore. There is always
serious danger of a crisis with neutral
countries when a paper blockade is at
tempted. This will be greatly increased
when it is coupled with warfare against
civilians.
The Germans, of course, know the
risk. Their unprecedented move must,
therefore, have a meaning. The most
probable Interpretation is that Berlin
believes Germany cannot win in the
war and that she has adopted the de-
liberate policy of doing all the damage
possible to England before the newt
able happens
Against the other belligerents the
German fleet could succeed, but the
weight of England turns the balance.
Hence the bitter hatred of England in
Germany and the final effort to inflict
the utmost harm to Englishmen, regard
less of law and the former rules of
warfare.
The state department copy Of the
German order differs from the published
German official statement. The gov
ernment S copy covers only the waters
on the north and west coasts of France,
whereas the German 5,atement makes
the order much more inclusive.
Officials here believe the published
Berlin statement is correct and they
expect to receive a similar notice soon.
The cabinet met today, and it is pre-
sumed that this development was the
principal topic of discussion. Secretary
Bryan was out of the city and Counsel

With the house crowded and iammed

sons cndeavoring to enter or leave the
chamber did so at the risk Of being al
most mashed to death, the lopg,awaited
prohibition measure, house bill No. 1852,
substitute for house bill No. !, by DR..
Anderson, was finally announced for
tari reading this afternoon.
People from all over the state inter
estel in the measure thrOnged the state
house, and the scene presented recalled
the days when the election Of United
States senator used to call forth mobs
that would almost take the building in
thciI efforts to hear the proceedings.
An organized effort will bc made ON
the floor Of the house, during consider
alton in committee Of the whole, to
have the measure amended so as 10
eliminate the section permitting any
quantity Of liquor being shipped into
the state after the constitutional
amendment goes into effect so as to
make the measure absolutely pruhih
tive and "dry" in the fun sense of
the term, or as nearly 50 as the cousti.

this fails, those who are 10 favor of
making the law prohibitive, will intro.

people to amend the constitutional
amendment SO as TO permit the Oregon
breweries to manufacture beer in lin.
tied amount so as to get the benefit oi
the revenue to be derived from the
amount permitted to be shipped int,
the state under the proposed enabling
bill.
There are numerous sides to the op.
position Of the section allowing liquor
to be shipped in, even in limited Quan
titles, some obiecting to the exemption
of wine for sacramentul purposes while
the most serious objection seems to +
directed to the clause permitting the
shipment Of ~ quarts Of beer into the
state for private use in every 30 days
Statistics have been prepared showing
that this limitation will permit Of the
shipment Of 100000 gallons Of beel
into the state annually, after the state
is supposed to have gone "dry" and
the Oregon brewing industries hov,
been legislated out of business. II /,
