THE INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

=
For three years Keokuk has main
tanned a commercial organization and
for years to come will find it neces-
sary to continue such an organization
whether the results are satisfactory
or unsatisfactory. The very fact that
other cities maintain an organization
of the kind. compels Keokuk to do SO
even IL the desire was felt to discon-
tinue. The value of the local associa-
ton is a matter of divergent opinion
but the necessity for it's maintenance
is unanimous. Just how it should be
managed furnishes a difference OF
opinion, but its existence is essential.
There is a demand during the dull
period for an economic administration
of affairs and movements toward such
an existence have been adopted. But
none will deny that Keokuk should
have an association which can give
intelligent attention to propositions
which are received daily and to dis
cuss local affairs as submitted. Ever
since the birth of the Industrial Asso-
citation times have not been propitious
for the location of factories. 1t has
been hard problem to keep them
going in their present locations, to
say nothing of increasing the ex-
pense and risk Of relocation. Close
commercial conditions must come to
an end some time, and it is wise that
we keep in an attitude and condition
to take part in the revived Industrial
Improvement which it arrives.
The past three years work OF the
association has necessarily been
largely preliminary, but there has
been much more accomplished that IS
generally credited or understood. Only
those who have been intimately asso-
ciatea with all the detailed work OF
the organization can appreciate what
time and labor and care has been re-
quired. President Joy. who has just
retired, gave unselfishly of his time
to advance the interests OF the asso-
ciation-and gave to greater de-
gree than he will ever receive credit
for. But he was not working for his
personal elevation. He was working
for Keokuk and many Of the real sue
cesses secured were largely the result
of his efficient efforts and untiring
zeal. and this is said without any In
tent to detract from those of the as
sociation who assisted in obtaining
the results
The presidency mas now gone 70
one OF the younger business men OF
the city, Mr.. Albert J. Kiedaisch, who
has been member of the directorate
for some time and 1t is hoped that
not only the organization OF which he
is the president but the entire COM
munity as such will lend to him its
best efforts to secure for Keokuk In
dustrial attainments that will bring
approval and satisfaction. Mr. kied-
aisch is one of the progressive young
men of the city; he is enthusiastic
and possesses that natural Keokuk
loyalty which is vital to success The
Gate City believes that 1915 will wit
ness substantial advancement and
that the Industrial Association will
have a very active and influential
part in the progress. Unanimity of
action and loyal devotion to the
CITY will get the results desired.

'Comrade, bear singing hearth

In the grim shadows long had lain.
How face you thus life's thorny

''Comrade, bear singing heart!"

Could not make bend the hardy knee,
'How such brave seeming? Tell the

Friend, blest be thou if thou canst
Upon the inevitable way

wisely says that the art of wasting
money can be acquired by any fool,
but the art of outstanding it wisely

man, and especially the man with a

wages. Acquiring the saving habit is
real virtue.

Supreme Court Upsets Peace. -.
Municipal Court and Causes
~,.e|S. General Strife. z. :.ss,, 3 {.

The Supreme Court Of Minnesota
last Thursday proved to berta far
greater disturber Of the peace than
soap-boxes and other nuisances," Of
ten complained of in Duluth. 49,
The court decided that Judges
Dancer and Fesler fooled themselves
in believing Capt. Smallwood had de-
feated Judge Window last April and
then went a step or rather a jump
further and decided that the people
of Duluth had guessed wrong when
they thought they wanted the pre-
ferential system of voting. ~ ~ y.
This latter part was easily settled:
Marcus l.. Fay said he'd, be a. sport
and submit to the decision of the first
trial court which declared Mayor
Prince elected. Commissioner Farrell
was game and won't ask for back
salary but the municipal judges are
the most pestiferous fellows that ever
happened. T..
Judge Window declares he's been
tagged 'it'' and since the decision Of
last week persists in sitting in the. big
swing chair at the "Civil'' bar. True
he doesn't have much to do but it
gives him a lot of satisfaction and he
gets much needed opportunity to re-
lax. Judge Smallwood in his 4boyish
playfulness insists on being ''it'' and
he has succeeded in holding down the
office chair and sitting at the '..crim-
inap' bar.
= In the meantime the commission
and City Attorney Greene are spec
ulating on who is to be or not 20
be-" It's the all absorbing question
Following close on the heels of Mayor
Power Of Hibbing the City Council has
sent a request to Governor Hammond
to "butt in and do something '"use-
ful' for. his state. -.
It is expected that the decision of
the Supreme Court will soon be COM
piled with.

Saturday, Aug. Z, Proctor, Two Har-
bors, Superior and Duluth machin-
lists will hold their annual joint pic
mic at Paramount park. Thos. Van
Lear and Louis -Harthill of Minnea-
polls are expected to he in Duluth to
take part in the program. ~
A big program has been arranged
by the committee and it is expected
that large representation will be
had from the four cities. The feature
of the program will be g. mile race
between the several business agents.
The second best event will be a race
between the nine committeeman. Nine
prizes have been arranged for the
committeemen's race SO that in case
any one is badly defeated in the
paths he need feel no keen dtsap-
pointment, he will be amply rewarded
for his tiresome and fearless efforts.
A happy time is assured the kiddies
and mothers, also the dads and bat
chelors. A special request to attend
is extended to the young people in the
organizations as the annual events of
the machinists are the greatest get-to-
gether gatherings of the season where
the machinists of the several localities
have an opportunity to become ac-
quainted wi tn each other.

HIBD!lG AND MINING
CO.! COMPANIES ! [ I CONFER


The controversy between the village
OF Hfbbing and the Oliver Iron Min
Ing company. q subsidiary of the steel
trust Is proving to be of real interest
to Northern Minnesota. H..
The controversy arose over the re-
fusal of the Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany to pay the. taxes which have
been assessed against it by. the viii
lage. The company charges the viii
lage with extravaganza and injustice
m expenditures made. ~
Through the failure of the COM
pany to pay its taxes the finances Of
the village have been practically ex-
hausted and Mayor Power and the
council threatened to discharge all
city employees and called upon Gov
ernor Hammond to place the village
under state control until such time
as the mining company should COM
ply with the requirements Of the law.
The outcome of the appeal to the
governor was a conference between
mining officials and the village trus-
tees at: the. Holland hotel iii Duluth,
at the time The Labor World went to
press nothing definite had been set
tied upon. " r.

A little Light on. a Big Subject.
BY A. Graham, Chiropract0r,
500 Columbia Building, Duluth.
Every little while our attention Is
called to the vast army Of human be-
ings who, die at a. comparatively early
age, and also those who are life long
invalids, from what is called preven-
tative diseases.
Large financial appropriations are
being made from time to- time for
tho suppression Of this unnecessary
taking off Of human life, but in ac-
cordance with the latest statistics, the
grim reaper seems to be as busy as
In view: Of this lamentable state Of
affairs, would it not appear quite
reasonable to assume that the proper
methods for the conservation. >. and
education of the public health, are
not yet known to scientists who claim
to be authorities: on such subjects?
The writer has a very positive con-
sviction that human transgr essions are
largely responsible for human all
ments, and this is chargeable in, a
large measure to the haste, hurry, and
worry of the artificial life born Of our
modern civilization Whenever. a
person persists in violating the laws

Is it not more. in keeping with

put into practice those virtues and
habits of living that are in their very
nature calculated to contribute to
healthfulness Of body and mind
rather than the participation in me.
thods and habits Of living that are

COLUMBUS Be UPSET:
Unique Challenge Given To Sec
rotary Redfield By Good
rich Line.

A challenge said to have been in
spired by a letter written by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor protesting
against the permit allowing the whale
back passenger steamer to carry $500
passengers, has been sent to Secretary
Redfield. according to information re-
ceived from Milwaukee. - (:
The challenge if accepted will be
interesting to the people of Duluth
since the Christopher Columbus car
ried excursionists from Duluth to
nearby ports several years ago. Since
leaving Duluth the steamer has been
engaged in the excursion and passen-
ger business between Chicago and
Milwaukee by the Goodrich Steamship
line. a.: -"
According to thei Information re-
ceived A. w. Goodrich, president Of
the Goodrich Transit company, has
issued a defy to the government. to
try to tip over the whaleback, but it
is not stated whether the test if made
will be made in Milwaukee or Chi
cago. -
In letter to w: c. Redfield, United
States secretary of commerce, Good
rich asks that the secretary of the
navy conduct a series of experiments
to determine the stability of the Co.
lumbus.
give thousand bags Of sand, each
Weighing 100 pounds to represent pas
sengers, can be piled on the decks, )"
says Goodrich, land every facility af-
forded newspaper men and photo
graphers to record the results of the
effort to tip the boat. If the old
whaleback goes owed she is done for;
if she stands the test we want the
PUBLIC appraised Of the fact at once. .
No word has yet been received from
the government representatives. IT. =
