Voice Of the People
Suspects Discussion Cease.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Ever since the beginning Of chris
uanity there have been different
views on the subject Of religion ex-
pressed by intellectual men Of differ
ent denominations. Argument on the
subject only leads to unkind thoughts
and hinders the very purpose for
which all christendom is striving.
During the past few weeks numer-
Gus articles have appeared in this
paper which have merely tended to
exhibit the christian tendencies of
the two participants. The writer Is
convinced that the intellectual and
thinking class of the community feel
that nothing but enmity can be
aroused by the procedure and would
be pleased to see the discussions
dropped.
1t is impossible for people raised
in different environment to have the
same viewpoint and we fully realize
the fact that excellent christian peo-
pie are to be found in every denom1-
nation and even great many who
have never been associatd with an
established church are christians.
Although the writer is not IN any
way identified with the socalled Dos
ton religion" 1t must be admitted
that greater force than has ever

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said: There was no conlrma-
ton in the overnight Washington
news regarding offers of apologies
and reparation by Germany for the
destruction of the Sussex, in the
event later Investigation disclosed
that the channel steamer had been
Of it's force and effect with profess
sional traders and the recoveries in
torpedoed, but the incident lost some
war stocks and specialties Influenced
by yesterday afternoon rumors, con-
tinues this morning. There was
enough uncertainty, however. concern
ing the diplomatic situation and the
course Of Mexican affairs to hold the
market under restraint and aside
from few issues which have found
favor with pool operators the early
Improvement was confined to narrow
limits.
The war stocks opened about where
they left off last night and developed
a stronger tendency, the early fea-
lures being Crucible Steel, American
Locomotive, B. F. Goodrich and Inter
national Nickel u. S. Steel started q
share lower, but recovered and ruled
for the greater part OF the session at a
small fractional advance, but the mar
ket leader was active.
There was no material change IN
conditions in the late trading. Bust
ness contracted in volume and activ-
ity was confined to a very few issues
which moved uncertainty within a
narrow range. While few special
ties gained small fractions, the gen
eral tendency was heavy and some of
the early afternoon improvement was
lost. Bethlehem Steel declined twenty
points on limited dealings.
Banking discussions were divided
between the submarine situation and
Mexican affairs, both Of which have
impaired a large element of uncer
tainty into the public mind and it is
generally recognized that there is
little chance Of an active upward
movement until matters are very
much clearer than at present. Natur-
ally there was much confusion over
the conflicting reports bearing upon
Mexican affairs and the unver1fied
statement that General Carranza had
refused the use OF the Mexican rail
ways to the American troops to con.
vey supplies and the like had a some

MARY GROGAN
BACK AT HOME
Father Brought Daughter, Minus Her
Hair and Dressed In Mans Suit,
Back From Memphis.

Miss Mary Grogan. the seventeen
year old daughter of Thomas Grogan
of the Tenth street hose reel, who
startled her friends yesterday by cut
ting off her beautiful long hair and
DOMINIC a mans suit and disappear
ing, is again back at the parental
home, at Ais Carroll street.
After being taken in custody at
Memphis, Mo-, yesterday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock, she was held there by
the sheriff of Scotland county, Until
her father came after her. She re-
turned to Keokuk with him.
According to her parents, she has
given no reason for her escapade
They believe that it was nothing more
than the wanderlust of spring, as he1
home life has always been congenial
and there have been no known com
plications.
AS told in The Gate City last even
ing, Mary Grogan disappeared from
her work at the Purity Oats plant yes
terday morning. The clue was the
finding OF her hair which she had cut
off with shears she had borrowed IN
the factory. Her father was notified
and he took the matter up with local
police authorities. By some quick
telephoning, It was learned that the
girl. in mems clothes, had boarded a
Keokuk and Western passenger train
ct Alexandria for Memphis, after she
had walked to the former place from
Keokuk.

About Buyinu Mexico.

Sibley Tribune: We are in Mexico,
and nobody can predict when we may
get out or what will happen. When
we began war on Spain to free Cuba
nobody had the slightest notion that
we would emerge with some hundreds
Of islands on the other side of the
world on our hands. In order to
pacify the land somebody has pro-
posed that the United States buy the
northern portion Of Mexico. Since
we may not take it by conquest the
proposition has some things to recon-
mend it. We have had success In
governing such of the natives rs
came to us with California and New
Mexico, and the energy and capital
Of our people would soon work won
ders in the development of Mexico's
resources, which are so great, that it
would hardly be possibly to appra1se
them too highly. Perhaps purchase
may prove to be the best and easiest
way to help Mexico and secure peace

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. -
Out of the bloody horrors and terri
bic destruction of the world war will
come some mighty good lessons. The
old lazy-crazy John Barleycorn has
lost a good deal Of ground and gov
eminent ownership has gained a fair
trial Many things taken over by the
European governments in this infer
nal struggle will never return to pri-
vate corporations again.
Government ownership will make
anew, more just world. There will
be no waste. For example:
An OK will not be carried from Iowa
into the center Of Chicago to be
butchered and then sent back to
Iowa to be sold in retail at a sIy-high
price.
Under government ownership
there would be no running Of twenty
milk wagons around the same course
in the early morning between 2 and
6. Sometimes it sounds as if U. S.
cavalry was chasing Villa around the
block. The government would divide
the city into districts after the same
method as The bostOffice has for It's
letter carriers.
Everybody would, under the gov
eminent, count one and have his job.
