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
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 q flne 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.

in the role of philosopher and
friend Hazen T. 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
take the viewpoint of both employer
and employe, since they were respon-
sibIe 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 his 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
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 as 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.

countrys Lowest Death Rate.

The lowest death rate on record for
the registration area of the United
States is shown In the 1915 figures just
compiled by the United States bureau
Of the census. This rate is 1876 per
1000 estimated population. It was
based on 909,l55 deaths returned from
20 states Tin one of which, North Caro-
lima, only municipalities of 1000 popu-
lation and over in 1910 were included),
the District of Columbia ana II cities
In nonregistratlon states. The total
population of this area In 1915 was es-
tlmated at G7,337 900, or GIL per cent
of the total estimated population o. the
United States.
The most favorable year prior to 1918
was 1914, for which the rate was 1876
1t was markedly lever than the aver
age rate for the five-year period 1901
to 1905, which was 1872.

That Treacherous omelet.

For some time, so runs lie Matin,
many Partisan merchants noted the dis
agreeable fact that eggs were being
subtracted regularly and with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision from their cases in
the merchandise station of Vanguard.
An inquiry finally localized the place
where the numerous thefts had taken
place, and the surprise of the police
was great to note that the perpetrator
Of We greedy deed carried out his dan
gerous scheme In the station proper,
right under their very noses. Although
the strictest surveillance was exer-
cised, all attempts to secure the cul-
prit were vain. A few days ago an
employee, one Jerome Gennekerque by
name, having finished his daily work
started for home. AS he was leaving
the station, the "bon homme" had the
Ill luck to fall. Immediately an I'M
slightly yellow stream treacherously
proceeded from the pockets of his
Jacket, thus proclaiming the unfortu-
nate jerome as the pllferer of the COW
etcd edible. He is now taking pro-
onged rest at the "depot."
