The Mayors Welcome

Mayor Moorhead welcomed the con-
vention with the following:
Mr.. President and Members Of the
Iowa Section OF the National Elec-
trio Light Association:
Gentlemen:
1t affords me great pleasure. on be
half of the people of Keokuk, to bid
you welcome to our city. 1t is no
small honor to be selected as the
meeting place of such society as
yours, and l assure You it is appre-
ciated accordingly. We hope your
stay with US will be both pleasant and
profitable and that you viii be SO we'll
satisfied with your experiences among
us that you will decide to come again.
As members Of your association you
are of course interested in all that
pertains to the subject of light. We
have here what we understand is the
largest single hydro-electric plant in
the world, capable of developing a
corresponding amount of light and
power This should be quite an at
traction to you and you Will be af-
forded ample opportunity to inspect
it under the auspices of the Missis-
sippi River Power company and the
Stone & Webster Engineering Corpor-
alton We have also system of
municipal lighting of which We are
proud. 1t is dangerous for a layman
to indulge in technical terms, but I
may say that it involves the use OF
&c ampere luminous arc lamps and
that the results are wholly satisfac-
tory. On Main street there are six
of these lamps to each short block.
Your attention is invited to this IL
Elimination as affording all that could
be desired in the way of street light
ing.
II | am correct in my recollection
of the Scripture. it was on the SUBJ
ject of light that we have the first re-
corded utterance of the Creator. Dark
ness was on the face OF the waters
and God said Let there be light and
there was light Ever since that sub
lime event light has played most i'm
portant part in the world and its in
fiuence has always been good Dark
ness has always and everywhere typi-
fed ignorance and evil. while light
has stood for knowledge. righteous
ness and progress. l need not remind
you that in all the old religions it held
first place The Parsees worshipped
the sun as the source OF light. In all
Of the old religions it was regarded as
symbolical OF truth. Wherever light
there was life, intelligence. advance
