PUBLIC OPINION
A Voice from the Past.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
That I have moved across the line
into another state does not spell my
lack Of interest in Keokuk. During
my citizenship OF nearly six years in
your city learned to love the people.
Could not help it; they were good to
me. Love begets love. I was inter
ested in everything that looked to-
ward the Improvement of the city. I
tried to oppose in sane way every
thing that injured the city, morally,
financially and spiritually. did not
hesitate to say SO: have never re-
gretted it. AS I look back over the
last six years of Keokuk's life see
great improvement in the city. 1t
ought to have been greater. Your
streets are in better condition-clean-
er, better lighted. business houses
have made improvements, putting IN
new fronts and some have quit sweep
ing their trash out on the sidewalks
Quite a number of modern houses
have been built. Keokuk is a good
place to live.
1t has the best church houses of
any town it's size l have ever been
in. The Y. NJ. G. A and Y. w. c. A.
are buildings any city could be proud
Of. You give barrels Of money for
these buildings and to maintain them.
The city has improved morally. Six
years ago you had not less than forty
saloons, now fourteen; one year from
today and you will not have any. But
you do not deserve any credit for get
ting rid of the saloons. So far as any
one could see you never would have
cleaned your city of them. The state
had to do it for you and against your
will. You are whining and squealing
about it now. You will get over 1t.
You men who make and sell your
whisky and beer in the old city will
have to go into other business.
fought you, not because hated you,
but your business Cheer up, boys;
turn your places into some line Of
business that will bless the commun-
ity and some day you will be glad Of
the change.
Yes, Keokuk is good place to live.
No better people She has some draw
backs that only time, God or the devil
can remove, then you will go forward
to great future. Some old tight
wads will have to go to heaven or
somewhere else and new, clean,
brave, strong, unselfish spirit will lead
the way to a better day in the dear
old city on the bluff.

The Pennington Democrat says:
The canning factory for Farming

failure to secure contracts for one
hundred acres Of tomatoes, and there
should be no trouble from that source.
Mr.. L. E. Denmire Of Sandusky,
who is the prime mover in this en-.
terprise, and who operates factories
at both Sandusky and Montrose, was
in town Tuesday and purchased a
tract of land of John Jack, near the
Masters mill. and a factory building
will be erected thereon. The rail.
road will build a switch into the plant
which will give excellent shipping
facilities.
This is a splendid forward move

This tall athlete has had wonderful success against the Detroit batsmen This is the fourth season in the American League for Weilman, and he has worked in 21 games against the Jennings team, los ing only four games. Thus the per- centage of wins credited to Weilman for his entire labors against the Tigers would 3stand4.777.
 The lengthy lad from Hamilton, Ohio. has held. the combination of Cobb. Crawford and veach as an open book. For instance, these three in 5 5 tries at the bat have succeeded in making seven base hits, giving them an average for the season of 1915 against Wei1man of .127.

KID WILLIAMS IS STILL CHAMPION
 DESPITE FOUL ING

New York, Sept. 17-Is Kid Will Hams or Johnny Ertle the bantam weight champion Ever since Will lian1s was disqualified for fouling Err tie in their bout at St. Paul last Fri day night that topic has been fore most in the discussion of boxing en- thusiasts the country over, and in or der to clear up the doubt the New York Press decided to obtain the cluding the referee and others who saw the nnix-up.
 The question involved is whether a Champion can. lose his title through being disqualified for fouling in a, mo- decision bout. The affair also brings up the subtle question as to whether disqualification for fou1ing automat- ical1y gives the decision to the az grieved boxer, and, above all, leads to doubt over the legality of 5disquali- lying any contestant in a. state which bars decisions.
 According to George Barton, who refereed the bout, he disqualified Will Hams for fouling in the fifth round, have been contrary to law. Barton asserts that Williams struck low in the third and fourth rounds and had been warned.
 Ertle weighed i'm under 5116 pounds, so there is no discussion i over the weight question.
 Almost tov a man. all those who were questi oned on the subject as serted that to their minds williams was still the champion. They pointed out that a title could not. in their opinion, change hands on a. foul in a bout where a decision is Illegal. a
