Since the Mexican situation has be-

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Unless all
the signs are pointing wrong, that
White-Welsh quarrel at the Garden
next Tuesday night is going to be
strenuous affair. The fans are figuring
it so closely that there Is very little
money being risked on the outcome.
The fact that White beat the cham
pion in Milwaukee and that Joe
Shugrue also gave him hare battle
is making local fans little dubious
about risking wagers on his chances.
Whites condition is also having Its
weight. He is hitting hard and fast.
Opinion, however, is very much d.
vided on the outcome. Oscar Nelson
declares he will ride along with the
champion to win, but Joe Shugrue
who has fought both men, is not so
sure of the champions chances.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-There will
be few fresh faces in the chorus when
Jawn McGraw rolls up the asbestos
on his opening performance of the
season at the Polo grounds few
months hence According to all the
dope thus far gathered, the Giants
will present about the same caste
that was pushed out of the pennant
chase by the Braves last season.
McGraw will lead caravan of about
fifty baseballers to Marlin, Texas, for
spring training and there is the Gus
tomary / out of IL chance that he will
pick few winners from the green
stun. The general belief is, however.
that excepting the locating of Hans
Lobert at third, only one or two other
changes will be made in the lineup.
lhe Giant pilot believes that shunt-
ing Lobert in on third plugs up one of
the weakest spots in his machine, a
weakness that he thinks put his team
out of the worlds championship SER

Larry Doyle may be replaced by

RAIL COMMISSION
IS TO TOUR STATE
cfficials Decide That They will In
spect 10000 Miles Of Track
in iowa at Cost Of $1,000.

The state railroad commission will
make an inspection or all OF the rail-
road lines in Iowa during 1915, accord
ing to James Wilson, member of the
commission. There are 10000 miles
OF railroad in this state. 1t will prob
ably take several months for the
board to finish the inspection trip.
The cost Of the tour will be something
like $4,000
It is said that the law requires the
railroad commission to make annual
inspections OF the railroad lines and
bridges in the state though 1t has
been three years since such an in
spection has been made. Probably
the commission will have to have a
special train for its work as it must
stop to look over every bridge. This
sort of inspection work cannot be
handled on regular trains. Some sort
of railroad bicycle Or gasoline car
may be used.
According to state officials, the eff
fort in the legislature to take the
railroad passes away from the rail-
road commission has been attempted
several times before. When told that
If the commission must give up it's
passes and pay regular passenger
fares. an additional appropriation Of
about $4,000 would be necessary the
general assembly has backed down
on the proposition in the past The
members of the commission say they
have no objection to giving up the
free transportation.
They say that It is all the same to
them as the state must pay the ex-
penses of the commission II the
change is made. However. one mem
Der said that he does not like the
proposition OF advancing the expense
money and waiting fifteen days or
more for the state to audit the bills
before encouragement. He says that
a better system should be arranged.

The Union county legislator has pre-
pared a bill which he will shortly in

Justice Of the peace and constables be
abolished. In their place he would
have a county judge elected to have
charge of all preliminary criminal
hearings and Jurisdiction over all
civil matters having less than $500
involved.
There is very little need Of JUS
tees nowadays" said Mr.. Coakley n.
commenting on his forthcoming meas
ure. About all they do is to perform
marriage ceremonies and work up
collection fee cases. AS to prelimi-
nary hearings these are most always
waived and the matter taken before
the grand jury. Since the county at
torney has right to commence &C

jury is not in session there is prac-
tically no need for justices at all. At

MANUFACTURERS ARE
DELAYING CENSUS
Fail to Send In Their Blanks az Early
as Required to Do and
Enumeration Suffers.

The delay on the part Of the manu-
facturers of Iowa in sending In their
reports on the conditions in their fac
tories has caused consequent delay
in the compilation OF the figures by
the department. Director William ].
Harris is at a loss to account for the
failure on the part of the people who
should be the most interested, to do
their share towards getting out ac-
curate figures. In addition to delay
ing the work the failure to sena in the
reports for last years business causes
an additional expense that might just
as well be done away with.
The law directs that census Of the
manufacturers of the state be taken
every fifth year, and the bureau at
Des Moines has done everything in
its power to facilitate the work. The
end OF their resources has been
reached, however, and it is now de-
pendent on the business men of the
state to see that Iowa has an accurate
account of the manufacturing plants
in the state and that the statistics
here may be brought up to point
where they will compare favorably
with those of other states in this sec
ton.
The blanks on which to make the
reports were mailed to all manufac-
turers with the request that the re-
turns be forwarded to the census bu-
reau by January Is, 1915. The CO.
operation of chambers Of commerce,
boards Of trade and other organiza-
tions interested in our Industrial de-
velopment has been solicited, but,
Notwithstanding their very general
response and assistance, comparative
ly few reports have been received and
a large number of those that have
reached the Office are very defective.
It is feared that the importance of
these statistics, showing the condition
OF all industries during the year 1914
is not appreciated. Unless all manu-
facturers make proper returns, the
relative standing of one industry with
another, and of one city with another.
will be seriously affected. The city of
Keokuk should not lose the posi-
tion to which it is entitled Industrial
ly, and it is the duty Of every citizen
to see that full and complete returns
are made of all our industries.
