Fine Entertainments

Local talent showed up to a high de-
gree in the fine entertainment given in
the Town Hal here for the benefit Of
the Episcopal Church on Wednesday
evening last. The large audience in
attendance widely demonstrated their
appreciation OF the excellent peffor-
nance by the Aattering applause they
gave the participants. Everyone who
took part did so well that it would be
hatdto single out anyone especially how
ever, the singing Of Miss Marie Lever
ing, daughter of the new Episcopal
minister, was perhaps one Of the most
appreciable parts Of the program. To
this same young lady is due the grea
success OF the entertainment. Sh,
man aged the affair and her work wa
well rev arded by the enthusiastic ap
probation OF those who witnessed th'
delightful affair.

THE YOUNG MANS ADVOCATE
THE POOR MANS FRIEND.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-08-19
SPLENDID INCREDULITY. y

A speaker at the recent congress of statesmen
in Detroit made use of the phrase the splendid
incredulity of the American man of business.
The speaker was eulogizing the shrewdness
which detects fallacies and attempts at decep-
ton With the tribute paid to the mental
alertness of this country's businessmen there
can be no quarrel But incredulity nation
al characteristic may become great mlsfor
tune; it may even breed state of things vicious
and pregnant with real peril. Even now there
are prominent businessmen who declare that
our trade captains have let their lack of trust
lead them to a policy of over caution that
costs them markets and the good will Of ma
tons as customers. However that may be, 1t Is
certain that it has come to be regarded as a
paramount disgrace ssto be taken in.' Distrust1
of motive, then of disposition to state fact hon
estly has become general It shows itself IT.
the attitude Of our children in a measure they
absorb, if they are not directly taught, dis
trust that is likely to easily develop into disbe
lief where there is no reason for it. It is we'll
enough that our young people should grow to
not to be duped, but it is deplorable thing
that they should be brought to achieve this
safety by refusing faith to everybody, by clos
ing their minds to information and legitimate
argument This sort of skepticism which at
first may be only an attitude of mind, soon be-
comes deep-rooted and instructive habit, and
it fights against the very foundation of social
and political unity. An open mind and
trained ability to judge and think are the only
means by which Intentional deceit can be met
successfully in the long run. "Splendid in
credulity' is an unfortunate phrase.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-08-19

In one or two instances the above
figures are approximate as exact fig
ures could not be obtained.
These cities were selected as being
neither plugs" nor boom" towns,
but stable. representative cities of
their size, as is Keokuk. Two other
cities were asked for figures, but did
not respond.
Unfortunately, one Of the principal
entrance streets of the city is in a
bad condition for several blocks right
at the place where it creates the
, strongest impression; and this leads
visitors to think that all our streets
are in this condition. while such is
by no means the case We have been
told that our citizens visiting neigh
boring city are asked, How much
paving are you doing this Year," and
are expected to feel ashamed that
we are doing less this year than the
city in question. Perhaps that city
has done less than Keokuk in past
years and is now trying to bring up
its average. Stranger things have
happened.
Being situated in limestone dis
trict, Ke0kuk has naturally used this
material for it's streets and the
macadam streets have served well
under past conditions. With the adj
vent of the motor vehicles harder
surface is required which can be
had only with brick or concrete. but
! 1t does seem pity to tear up and
destroy fairly good streets which can
be put in good condition and kept SO
for a long time for less than the In
i terest charge on a new improvement
when we have SO many wholly unim-
proved streets, a good portion OF
which are in constant use and In bad
condition in wet weather.
! The citizens on Franklin street feel
that they are entitled to the same
consideration and treatment as citi-
bens on other streets and they do not
wish or expect any unfair advantage.
but they do not feel that il is a good
business proposition to tear up and
throw away fairly good street, re-
placing it a great expense (Which
/ some of them are really unable to
| incur), when they are willing to put
/ 1t in good condition for the traffic 1t
carries at very little cost to the
other tax payers of the city, especially
as others are having the same work
done at no expense to themselves.
/ They are willing to assume their
share of the burden, and even more,
but do not want it made excessive.
l may be wrong-entirely so-in my
views as expressed above, but as 95
| per cent. of those directly concerned
and the greater number Of those
sufficiently interested to express an
opinion concur with me, as least I
have the satisfaction of being with
4 the majority.

VOICE OF TIE PEOPLE

the need justified the expense. II
macadam streets are to be replaced
with brick. which is unQuestionably
more durable and eventually less ex-
pensive, it would seem JUST to begin
at our principal business street and
work out both ways from it, not 10
jump six blocks away to begin. pass
ing streets which will not average
any better than this one, taken as =
whole.
Regarding the statements made
that Keokuk is way behind in tbs
matter Of paving want to register
an objection. It does not seem pos
sible to me that such is the case,
and as I have been told quite re-
Gently by number Of persons that
visit other cities in this section Of
the country that the condition of
Keokuk tnot only streets but every
thing else) would average well up l
have been investigating some other
places.
Herewith are submitted statistics
showing the population, Frea, miles
of streets. miles OF paving, and COM
paratiye showing. including Keokuk,
which ! think should settle any APP
prehension that Keokuk is very far
behind in this respect. This table is
compiled from figures furnished by
officials of the respective cities and
is not a simple statement or guess
work as is often offered IN commune
cations of this class. The popula-
ton is taken from the 1850 census.
