keokUk Wards and Society.
Among the illustrations Illuminating
the address of Mr.. Sawyer were ref
erences to more spoiled ballots In the
intellectual first and third wards of
Keokuk than in the second and fourth
wards; the reason given was that the
men of the north wards thought they
knew 1t all and did not read the direc-
tons published In The Gate City.
while the men of the south wards
studied the directions for marking the
ballots.
Mr.. Sawyer became most in earnest
when recounting the lack OF hospital
fly for newcomers In Keokuk. He
told of woman recently arrived
here whose eyes filed with tears from
lonesome heart as she told him not
q single woman had called on her
since her arrival: inquiry of his
stenographer developed that in the
second ward such things do not oc-
cur and newcomers are welcomed at
once. Mr.. Sawyer urged his married
hearers to have their wives call early
upon all new residents IN their neigh
borhoods. A considerable part Of the
address was devoted to the things
that mark the divisions between So
cial strata in America, and this part
OF the lecture was hne analysis OF
the divisions and characteristics OF
society folk. The whole speech was
listened to with absorbed attention
throughout and Mr.. Sawyer was given
rising vote Of thanks at the end of
the evening.
Talk by Flrse Secretary.
Dr.. G.. Walter Barr, one of the
charter members OF the club, It's first
secretary and one OF its few honorary
and permanent members, was called
upon for q talk and spoke for ten
minutes. DR.. Barr told how the va

by Or. 9. Walter
Barr.

In the role of philosopher and
friend, Hazen I. Sawyer made an ad-
dress to the High Tension club last
night on how young men may succeed
and rise in large organizations. The
club is composed Of Stone & Webster
men in this district.
Mr.. Sawyer remarked in the begin
ming that many OF his hearers could
fake the viewpoint of both employer
and employee, since they were respon-
sible to somebody of higher rank and
on the other hand had men under
them whom they might hire and fire.
he insisted that only through such
men OF dual experience and point OF
view can there be proper relations be-
tween employers and employees as
classes, and that these relations are
so reciprocal as to prevent antagon-
ism Of interests. He spoke OF the
certainty of failure inherent IN the
man who works for pay only. and the
success that comes from working for
the employer and mis- interests.
Much Of the address was devoted to
the human and personal element in
the matters involved. Boss fear was
defined as being imaginative, super
elevation OF the employer upon .
pinnacle; not fear Of his personality.
nor fear Of losing the job, but .
simple exaggeration OF the boss into q
superman intercourse with whom is
not on basis of talks, man to man.
This boss fear Is to be avoided, as is
also finicky criticism Of all the small
or faults of the employer, Mr.. Sawyer
said. He referred to the successful
managers Of big affairs today az be-
ing very human people with genuine
human interest In their working
force and instanced Tom Potter, great
est Of railroad managers, as an ex-
ample Of how this works out.
