Voice of the People
Franklin Street PAVING.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
The city council has ordered the
paving of Franklin street for several
blocks contrary to the protest Of a
large majority Of the property owners
along said thoroughfare. Franklin
street, with the exception OF g. few
spots, Is in good condition and fifty
two of the property owners have de
clared themselves as being opposed
to the improvement. These property
owners should at least be given fair
consideration. The west side OF
Eleventh street to the east side Of
TAFteenth Nstreet was permanently
-, improved in 1900, at which time the
property owners were called upon to
pay neat sums for the work. Very
little If anything has been done by
the city to repair this street since the
improvement was made. The curbing
on both sides Of the street, guttering,
etc, is still in good condition and the
! street doesn't need repaving. 1t Is
also said the grade is to be changed.
The law may give the city council
the right to pave any street and
change the grade as they see fit, but
property owners also have some
rights which the city council is bound
to respect and Franklin street proper
ty owners will see that in this IN
stance they get fair deal whether
the street is improved or not.

South Dakota to Vote Dry.

Aberdeen News: The News be-
leves, as a matter of sound business
sense, South Dakota should join her
neighbors, North Dakota and Iowa, in
abolishing the liquor traffic. 1t be-
lieves the voters intend to do that
very thing-not as result of i'm
pulse, OF tidal wave of emotional
enthusiasm-but as result of de-
liberate thought, of sound study Of
the deleterious effects of the liquor
traffic, and the conclusion, reached
after watching the effects upon bust
ness of dry towns and dry counties
within the state, that the people of
South Dakota can get along better

in 1917. That is not an extravagant
amount And besides 1t must be
borne in mind that about every dol
lar that is expended for the school
system remains in the town. More
than half is expended for teachers
salaries and very little of that money
is invested In bonds or real estate,
but most Of it goes to the merchants
and the landlord OF all the money
paid by the taxpayer there is no
other that remains in town and goes
into actual circulation like the tax
which is levied by the school board.

Chautauqua crowds are still large
and interest and enthusiasm increas-
ing. Wednesday, and Thursdays pro-
grams were good, the latter particu-
larly. The Chicago entertainers,
vocalist and reader, who shared the
time Wednesday with Mr.. Bonanjse,
the high caste East Indian, made a
program that was quite acceptable,
the latter at his night lecture on
india" showing stereoscopic pic
lures of the manners and customs Of
India, its idols and it's cities. Thurs
day was great day, the Cheney Con-
cert company, two brothers and two
sisters, gave a charming program,
both afternoon and evening, proving
they were competent to play before
kings. (They have played before
the president.) We hope they will
come again." their orchestra bells
are a novelty and seldom seen in a
small town; the music made by them
is most delightful Thus far all the
talent of the chautauqua has spoken
warmly of the high appreciation
shown by the audiences by their un-
stinted applause.
Warsaw's chautauqua Is already
proving to her critics and pessimists
that she can rise above a demoraliz-
ing street fair or carnival, and that
from now on she wants chau-
tauqua every year. The very fact that
our first chautauqua is a success in
every way is a good advertisement for
our city. and an omen for good;
Warsaw "stock" has risen in week.
People have attended this chautauqua
who were never inside of one in
their lives and had only a fain con-
ception of it's value; they are more
than pleased and attend every day.
The management is grateful to the
business men of Keokuk who SO lib
orally and freely bought season
tickets and thus aided greatly In
making the event the success that II
Is thus far.
A change has been made in the
order of the days programs, Sundays
program Grew. Bickert, and the
Lyric Choir appearing Saturday aft
ernoon and evening, and Saturdays
program Cred Baylis, the cowboy
preacher, and the Kimsey Concert
Coz appearing Sunday evening.
The Warsaw band will play at the
tent Saturday evening before the
regular band concert hour, and also
Sunday evening at the same place
for about an hour.
The balloon ascension and para
chute jump will be repeated Satur-
day evening. and this time 1t IS
hoped the public will get the worth or
its money.
Warsaw looks for the biggest even
ing crowd in its history on Saturday

Danger Of a Flivver.

Chicago Evening Post: The tariff
commission, promised by the demo-
cratic platform and made part of the
new revenue measure, is in danger of
becoming a flivver The house, before
passing the bill, reduced the salaries
for members of the commission and
struck out the clause making mem.
bers of congress ineligible. Thus the
commission can become another ref
uge for "lame ducks" President Will
son has expressed regret that the COM
mission must be bipartisan. This, of
couse, is designed as protection
against partisan abuse of its power,
but there is something in the presi-
dents argument that it limits free
dom of appointment and may prevent
the choice of men admirably qualified
for the kind of service demanded.

SUFFRAGE Notes,

Suffrage workers throughout the
state are showing considerable inter
est in the proposal to organize new
suffrage party in Iowa.
Miss Vivian Pierce, organizer for
the Congressional union, is now IN
Des Moines, with the express purpose
of organizing the woman's party in
this state.
According to dispatches emanating
from the capital city, the great prob
lem will be the endeavor to unite the
National American Woman Suffrage
association and the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage.
THE Congressional Union," Miss
Pierce is quoted as having said, "has
no qparrel with any suffrage organi-
zation; the more suffrage organiza-
lions there are the better. There is
no conflict between the work of the
two national organizations, and their
membership is an interlocking one.
We are working solely for the pass
age Of the federal suffrage amend
ment, while the national furthers state
campaigns. We believe that if we
concentrate in every part of the coun-
try at this time we can make the
passage of the Susan B. Anthony
expedient thing for this administra-
ton"
In reference to the work of the con-
gressional union, Miss Elizabeth Per
kins, vice president for the Iowa
Equal Suffrage association says:
1.-The state board has only good
wishes for all suffrage workers. But
desiring to show our allegiance to the
National American Woman Suffrage
association, from whom we received
80 much help in our recent campaign,
we feel that it is inadvisable to asso-
ciate our cause with an organization
whose method of work is along diff
ferent lines. Further than this we
feel that their method of work is un.
suited to Iowa.
at is well for us to remember that
though the national association works
along state lines it also is. always
working for the federal amendment"
The Keokuk Equal Suffrage associa-
ton, being allied with the Iowa Equal
Suffrage association, is in sympathy
with it's methods rather than those
of the Congressional union.

SECURITY LEAGUE
WANTS MEMBERS
Officers Of Local Branch Plan to
Make Special Efforts to Add
Many New Names ia So
clety Rolls.
WOMEN ARE ELIGIBLE
Opportunity to Join Open to Both
Sexes by New RuIins-ori0In
and Purpose Of the
Body.

The National Security league will
attempt to increase it's membership
here in the near future. At the pres
ent time about $50 Of the leading
citizens are listed on the membership
rolls of the body. In order to exer-
else a wider influence in securing the
passage of preparedness legislation,
the local branch, in common with the
rest Of the league, over the country,
is about to begin efforts to enlist
many more under its banner for ade.
quate national defense. Recently the
executive council of the league voted
that women should be eligible to
membership, and local officers of the
league desire that all Keokuk women
who are interested. in the protection
bers of the body.
The officers of the local branch are
D. B. Hamill president; L. A. Berry
hill, vice president; Wells M. Irwin,
chairman Of the executive committee;
and F. c. Overton, secretary. All
those who desire to join the branch
should give in their names to the
secretary.
Origin and Purpose.
A statement has recently been is
sued by the national committee OF
the league explaining fully it's pur.
pose and organization. The state
ment says in part:
1.-THE National Security league came
into existence because little group
of thoughtful and patriotic men real
lied that our continued existence as
peaceful, prosperous and united ma
ton as imperilled by our deplorable
state of inadequate defense. This
was a little over a year ago.
To-day it is an organization of
thousands of men and women. It's
purpose is to promote patriotic educa-
ton, sentiment and service among
the people of the United States; to
stir congress to enact legislation for
the proper organization of our naval
and military resources. Congress
alone has the power to prepare our
country for defense.
'"The league has brought the issue
of preparedness tc the attention OF
| the American people by con-
Quoting vigorous campaign
| through some 225 branches and COM
mittees. 1t has organization, repre-
sentation or membership in every
state. It is non-partisan, non-politi-
cal. neutral organization. 1t has no
politics but preparedness, no country
save America"
