CITY AND COUNTRY.

Public opinion is sometimes warped by pas
sion, prejudice and ignorance. 1t is the duty
Of right thinking citizens to expose and oppose
opinion of that sort and guide to wiser conclu-
sions. There is nothing more forceful than
truth, nothing so prejudicial to good order and
civic growth as untruths or half truths when
uttered in relation to individuals or commun-
ity. Frequently the thing men are suffering
from is wrong thought. To correct their
thought is the greatest service that can be rem
dered them. One Of the prevailing wrong
thoughts is that Keokuk, in opposition to the
country districts of Lee county, does not pay
her proportionate share of taxes. This has
been dinned into the ears of those residing
without the city with persistency worthy OF a
better cause, and it has been promoted by men
who live in and earn their daily bread IN the
city they untruthfully characterize.
The Gate City wants to see all men and WON
en- of Keokuk and Lee county dwell together
in peace; wants to see petty chickering's that are
known as ''small town stuff relegated to the
past That may all be attained as this paper
said last Wednesday, by "a strong pull, real
pull, cooperative pull in the right direction

SLOW MOVING LEGISLATORS.

Why must the country endure an intermin-
able session OF congress-? At a time when sena-
tors and representatives should be getting
ready to pack up and go home we are informed
that they ''will be unable to complete their Ia
bors before the end of August, with a strong
probability that the session may be prolonged
late into the fall -
The program to which congress must devote
itself assiduously in order to get through at all
includes: Army and navy reorganization bills;
revenue legislation, including new income to
put into effect the defence bills, conservation,
shipping, rural credit, good roads and child Ia
Dor bills. But since these problems as
clearly defined when congress met why this de-
lay in taking them up seriously?
Deliberation and carefulness in the consd-
GRAFTON of matters that affect the welfare Of the
people are commendable traits, yet deliberation
and carefuness may be so strained as to make
one think the congress is going to the other ex-
treme and that middle course if followed
would bring results equally satisfactory and
with an expenditure of half the time, labor and,
perhaps, talk

burlington Post: The withdrawal
of Mr.. Kopp, Mr.. Moiesberry and Mr..
Jones from the republican congression-
the field-Mr. Clifford Thorne Of
nedy of Lee county. The primary Of
June will register the decision Of the
party members in respect to the
claims of these gentlemen. We can
not believe that this decision will be
adverse to MIR. Kennedy and in favor
OF Mr.. Thorne Our confident expecta-
ton is that the former will be nomi-
mated by majority SO decisive that
it will serve as large element Of
strength to him in the November cleo
ton. And this is as it should be.
There is every good reason why this
district should continue to be repre-
scented in congress by Mr.. Kennedy.
There is not a single good reason why
Mr.. Thor-ne should attempt to supplant
the public desire and force himself on
the district at this time The people
do not desire this change, from Ken
nedy to rhorne, and less idealistic
dreamer than the latter would be able
to see it plainly, and would continue
his public service in the position which
he new occupies and in which he has
proven himself capable. Mr.. Thorne
has shocked the moral sense of the
district by his manifest readiness to
abandon his own field Of public USE

able to displace the most useful man
the First district ever has had in con-
greSS.

They come into the parlOr

How very commonplace they are!

And call it rude of me to stare

But, since they do not seem to care,
Why shouldn't be human?
I've read my paper through and through
There's mighty little in it
And so I've nothing else to do
But watch them for minute
They offer little promise though,
of charm to the beholder;

And he trifle older.
I've watched them for hundred miles!
I'd watch another hundred,
To share the paradise that smiles
Around them How / Numbered,
To call this couple commonplace.

And gmmer in their glances,

And she-how well she knows her power!-
She snares it in her knitting,
Here's love that is forever new,
That feasts and still doth hunger

Thus god1ike to enfold her,

BLAME FOR TIMBER WASTE.

A writer on the lumber situation in the
American Review of Reviews vouches for the
fact that there is timber waste Of sixty per
cent, between the tree and the lumber product.
If this be so, there is pressing need of conser-
walton In manufacture as well as in the natural
resources Furthermore, it is declared that the
public is to blame for present methods be-
cause of It's refusal to accept uneven lengths
from the mills Here again we have the old
habit of placing convenience before wise saw
ing of raw material and efficiency in its use
Meat packers find their principal profit in the
by products which they derive from a carcass,
but 1t seems that a tree is made to Weld no
by products that can be utilized to the least de-
gree. This difference between handling hog
and log makes up great part of what is
called timber waste, and the accusation of tim
Der waste has been laid almost exclusively at
the doors of the lumbermen who have cut our
forests. One of the best means of conserving

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipatio|
Neglect Of important Function May

Health,

There are many people who believe
they suffer from Indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to q
constipated condition.
Bloat, with it's attendant mental de-
preston, sick-headache, the ,belchlng
of sour stomach gases, etc. are ire
quently due to inaction of the bowels.
Relieve the congention and the
trouble usually disappears. The use
of cathartics and purgatiyes should
be avoided, however; these shock the
system unnecessarily and, at best,
their effect Is but temporary. mild
laxative Is far preferable.

herbs known as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
