WHERE GOVERNMENT FAILS.

,, Commission government failed in Denver
because the commissioners, all petty politicians,
betrayed their trust announces the Denver
Post in summing up its conclusions as to the
reasons the electorate decided upon return to
the mayor and council system. Analysis OF
this statement will reveal the secret OF good,
bad and Indifferent municipal government no
matter how admirable the system may be; con-
versely honest, capable and experienced Off
Gals will achieve creditable results under the
handicap of bad or outworn system. Such has
been the experience of Keokuk since the doing
away of the ward system Of representation. The
results here haye been plus, not minus.
a form Of government is means, not an
end and when the voters Of city endorse a
new and presumably improved form, they
are simply selecting the plans for new struc-
ture. The building itself has to be entrusted to
the officials they elect. Always the choice of
officials is more important than the adoption
of a system, and in not realizing that fact and
acting accordingly the people Of Denver have
failed.

GO no CHURCH TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be Sunday. How many peo-
pie in Keokuk will do as they should do and at
tend church serviceg A church service fills the
mind with ideas which make for cleaner hv-
ing and a greater peace of mind, body and soul.
All need to go to church--some church. They
are all good All strive to inculcate the same
lesson. ii are striving to reach the same
place. 1t is needful to attend services OF this
kind because if men and women are to justify
their existence they must feed their minds
with ideas that come from the Creator.
In failing to go to church one loses some
thing which is vital and necessary to well be-
ing So, try out the suggestion, tomorrow
Nothing will be lost, much gained The call
from the church is a call to humanity's better
nature, call we'll worth needing.

Picking the Brainiest,

Des Moines Capital: After three
months trip through eighteen repub
Hcan states, including Iowa and the
middle west, Howard Hadley, a news
paper man and a former progressive,
predicts the following lineup of men
prominent in the public eye today:
Hughes, republican nominee for pres
ident; Fairbanks. republican nomi-
nee for vice president; Root, secre-
tary OF state in Hughes cabinet;
Major General Wood, secretary of
war in Hughes cabinet; Roosevelt,
United States senator from New York
to succeed OGoG1nan. The writer con-
siders Hughes, Roosevelt, Root and
Woods as the biggest, brainiest and
most forceful men on this side of the
water" America will need the
'brainiest" statesmen it possesses to
conduct its affairs in the next four
years. There is no room for personal
issues. We must have forceful fig
ures in the cabinet and in congress, as
well as in the presidential chair.
More discussion along that line will
take the bitterness out of the con-
vention and lead to sensible selec-
ton of candidates. There is plenty
of work for all to do.

millions OF indians.

Christian Science Monitor: How
many have been prepared for the
statement recently made by the Ma
tionaI Geographic society of Wash
ington, that there are more Indians
today within the territory originally
comprising Mexico than ever existed
at any time in all the rest of the
western hemisphere combined? OF
the 15,000,000 inhabitants of Mexico
fully SO per cent, it is held, are In
dams, while 43 per cent. are of mixed
blood. In round figures. there are
6,000,0 Indians in Mexico, many Of
whom are descendants Of the Aztecs
The latter are frequently Of most
advanced type, and from them have
sprung some very able men, as, for
instance, Juarez and Diaz. Alto
gether, however, the degrees of civil
lization are various. Authorities have
it that in Mexico at the present time
the Indian population may be divided
into fourteen families and 1872 tribes,
with fifty-one languages and sixty
nine dialects.

| polls both the ballot of his party and
the ballot on which the suffrage
amendment Is submitted. The as
sumption that the voter must ask for
his party ballot and then ask again
for the amendment ballot is a tech
nical construction Of the letter OF the
law and is wholly contrary to its
spirit The voter should be given by
election officials all the opportunities
for expressing his judgment which
are included in the election. II he
does not care to express himself
either on the amendment or the
choice of party nominees, he may re-
turn either of the ballots unmarked.
These matters should be made clear
to election boards to the end that the
results of the balloting be as nearly
a fair expression of Judgment on the
part of voters as 1t is possible to
obtain -
Juggling with these matters in
order to influence the results is who'll
ly beyond the sphere of judges and
clerks. Without question a great
majority Of these officials understand
this matter fully. If there be an oc-
casional one who forgets himself and
the sanctity of his duties he should
be controlled by careful instructions.
If men fail to do their duty because
it is right, they should do 1t because
it would prove embarrassing not to
do so.

Men s evil manners live in brass; their viz
tues we write in Observation-Disclosures
DEcADENT STRAWBERRY sHoRTcAKE.

Izaak Walton, who had some admiration for
tie gentle art of fishing, could not, even when
thinking of the sport that is so near to the
hearts of Keokuk people, write of it without re-
ferring to the juicy edible fruit of the rosa
ceous genus fragaria, known to the non-scien-
tific under the name Of strawberry. Izaak in his
book on Angling, says: eve may say Of Ang-
ling as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries,
Doubtless God could have made better ber-
ry, but doubtless God never did, and so, if L
might be judge, God never did make more
calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. -
The strawberry has even so early in the
season made its bow to lovers of the taste sat
isfying fruit and its preparation for consump-
ton doubtless has been discussed pro and con
in many homes, the final outcome of debate
usually being in favor of it's service in the form
of cake-shortcake. A mast satisfactory con-
clusion.
However, the perennial complaint over the
alleged deterioration of strawberry shortcake
is again heard throughout the land, and with
especial force in the city of Chicago, where the
decline of od-fashioned cooking is attributed
chiefly to the effete innovations introduced by
French cooks. AS there is vague area desig-
mated as the pie belt, so it is said that already
there are vast sections of the country which
might truthfully be designated as shortcakeless
belts, within which Chicago is included, and
fear has been expressed that before many years
have passed this good old-time preparation
will become as extinct as the dinosaur and the
great aux.
1t must be that the uniformed Chicago
chefs make cake, not realizing that 'short
cake is not cake-and usually it is something
IN the nature of cheap sponge cake-and COW
er this with sticky mess Of beaten egg
whites and sugar, upon which they superimpose
three or four melancholy Strawberries. Some
times this glutinous egg covering is left in its
original whiteness for the calculated effect of
imitation whipped cream, and occasionally the
whole product is put In the oven and Drowned.
resulting IN frank and amazing meringue.
Keokuk housewives are quite justified in call
ing this 'hideous hybrid that is not even
remotely related to genuine strawberry short

Hamilton Gate Civ
Hamilton, ILL.,, May 20

The brick and tile factory closed
down Friday noon for the afternoon.
Some one apparently had been neg
ligent in the matter Of not locking
some loaded cars which were on the
track, and when another car was
showed against them, they all went
into the ditch. There were four
cars in the pile, about 21s cars be-
ing loaded with tile and there is prob
ably some breakage.
Mr.. e. J. Congdon, cement post
manufacturer Of Dixon, ILL.,, has ship
ped to Hamilton some Of his posts
and is erecting a section of fence
where he can display his goods. His
purpose is to establish factory here
IL he finds proper encouragement.
Mr.. Congdon has become interested
in Hamilton through the efforts of In
dustrial Agent R. II. Bowen.

Hardino's Views.

w. l.. Harding at republican state
convention: II believe that we have a
united republican party. And we must
have for standard bearer a man
who is capable of leading the party
to victory in November. But in this
presidential year, as in 1896, when
free silver threatened the country,
the republicans have an opportunity
to make an appeal to the young men
of the party. The flag is in danger
and the country needs the principles
installed by republicanism in its
young men.
"The country needs a protective
tariff of the republican kind. l am
for the republican ticket nationally
and in Iowa and.I don't care who is
nominated for know the republicans
will write a platform that will ring
true"
Mr.. Harding's statement, "The sa-
loon is out of Iowa forever, appar-
emily set at rest any fears any of the
delegates might have had as to the
speakers stand on the issue and was
the signal for demonstration that
was almost pandemonium. "Yes. it is
gone forever, he added, "and it's re-
turn is only being agitated by few
uuSWump newspapers lAdt nave 10
have an issue"
1.-The republican form of govern
ment is eternally and eyerlastnigly
right" he said, in referring to gov
eminent by commission. Commits
sions make kings
Il learned only the other day the
true story of that good roads appro-
priation at Washington. But l want
to say that a national appropriation
for money to build roads in Iowa is
pork barrel and nothing else. The
road issue is purely an Iowa propo-
sition. For the best government in
the world is the least government and
the least government is local govern
ment."
