TAX NEAR BEERS AND SOFT DRINKS.

There appears to be, outside Of keokuk,
misunderstanding Of the intent and effect OF
the ordinance recently enacted by the city coun-
ell of this city imposing tax of seventy-hve
dollars month on all places in which so-called
soft drinks are sold. Comment in the state
press indicates that belief exists that the tax
will work hardship, whereas here, where it
is in operation, there is well founded expecta-
ton that it will make for temperance and dis
courage the sale of liquor by bootleggers. The
ordinance is not so inclusive as some of its
critics have been led to believe, or as they
would, in some cases, lead others to believe.
No privilege is abridged as affecting the sale of
any temperance beverages other than those
specifically denominated in the ordinance as
linear BEERS The alacrity with which the
dealers in this class of wet goods paid the re-
quired tax, without complaint indicates that
s'business is good'' and that none of them an
ticipates being put out of business because of
the levy incidentally, it means substantial
piece of money for the use of the city-some-
thing greatly needed in these times of munich
pal treasury stress.

Phenomenally low is the rate OF sickness anu

ing in Mexico. The sick rate IN the expealtloh
is less. than half the rate for the United states,
Only six deaths from disease have occurred
since the army crossed the line and Penetfaaeo
into the interior of the neighboring land. Six
months the troops have been down there. They
have been subjected to hardships great part of
the time. While not so unhealthful up to the
present as during other seasons of the year, yet
the region occupied by the troops is anything
but ideally healthful Consequently, the pre-
vention of sickness is all the more remarkable.
Sanitary science, practically applied down
there has achieved gratifying ''bloodless vic
tories.'' Officers and men have co-operated to
keep down the rate of sickness and of death
Their efforts have borne fruit.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
THE THINKER.


Back of the beating hammer
By which the steel is wrought
Back of the workshops camor
The seeker may find the Thought,
The thought that is ever Master
OF iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel.
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with lusty blows,
But back Of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who knows;
For into each pillow saber,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go the brains Of labor,
Which gives the work soul.
Back of the motors humming,
Back of the bells that ring
Back of the hammers drumming,
Back of the cranes that swing,
There Is the Eye which scans them
Watching through stress and strain
There is the Mind which plans them
Back of the Drawn, the Brain
Might Of the roaring boiler,
Force OF the engines thrust,
Strength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in thee we trust,
But back of them stands the schemer,
The Thinker who drives things through,
Back Of the job-the Dreamer
Who's making the dream come true.
-Berton Braley.

"HAwAIIAN MELODY" BUNK.

Along comes an unromantic sort of person
who knows his Hawaii and tells us that the
Hawaiian melodies now so popular are not
Hawaiian music at all, but are merely adapta-
tons of the missionary hymns carried to the
Sandwich isles in the olden days before the IS
lands were brought under modern spiritual
and commercial rule The genuine native
music, he declares, would be similar to all
South Pacific music-a mere tuneless and end
less juggling of few stray notes.
There is much picturesque illusion concern
ing Hawaii. 1t has become modish enough IN
the last year so that Hawaiian songs and
dances are written into so-called musical mel
ody and crowded into private entertainments
of the socially prominent in the eastern cities.
San Francisco and Los Angeles have escaped
the infliction Their closer geographical re-
lationship to the islands has put them wise to
the counterfeit
Hawaii is still mysterious enough to carry
all the charms Of distance. Although the is
lands were annexed to the United States
eighteen years ago, and have made enormous
strides toward the normal prosperity and con-
ventionality of American life, their wildness
still clings to them in the popular mind. The
city of Honolulu, modern and well-built
town of s.. 900 population, is still often imag-
ined as a dreaming settlement on a coral
island-with, of course, throngs of seductive
brown maidens swaying in the orgies of the
dance. Perhaps the illusion is pretty and
worth keeping. 1t is useful at least to music
publishers, who are reaping harvest with old
and new Hawaiian songs, some Of which came
from Hawaii and some from New York City
Bunk persists the world over, and the
bunkiest of all bunk is the ''original Hawaiian
melody

Those who predict that ultimately all inter
state railroads will be subjected to federal regu-
lation alone may not be bad prophets. To at
tain this. federal incorporation probably will be
a necessary incident means. It would be a
revolutionary change for state legislatures to
give up their right to charter corporations for
carrying on business in other states, but moth
ing that is shown to be for the public good is
impossible, no matter is revolutionary.

tivity and efficiency. His favorite

fishing and gardening on the side, and

risburg Golf club. Mr.. Townsend has

Buchanan, with whom he worked in
Philadelphia and his record here is
