NEWSPAPER CONSULTATIONS

solidation will mean saving to the
merchants, as they will get the same
service for less money, and that is
true. Mt. Pleasant merchants are
getting better service for less money
today than they did when there were
four papers in Mt. Pleasant, and they
get it for less money. Consolidation
is going on all over the country. The
older communities have gotten tired
of supporting a newspaper that was
being run with a peck of old type
and hip shot press. A newspaper
has certain bills to meet each month
and as rule they are big. Printers
all get better wages than they used
to get All kinds of printing material
has advanced in price and the utmost
economy and efficiency is required to
make things go. Another thing, most
merchants have learned that it is a
mistake to patronize a new paper
that has no backing, except that of
some disgruntled politicians who
want paper started to put the
blankety blank blank out Of bust
ness" A newspaper can't be run on
wind. The paper houses want their
money once a month and the butcher
and the baker and the candlestick
maker have to be paid so that they
can keep their wheels going round.
That is the way the two newspapers
at Keokuk looked at things and they
have done the thing that they hope
will remedy bad situation. Both c.
z. Warwick of the democratic paper
and C. F. Skirvin of the republican
paper will be connected with the
consolidated paper and will try to
create a paper which will pay a fair
income on big investment.

are too young to understand the
meaning of a christian confession, or
to be received at once into church

Voice of the People
Trail Hitting"-What 1t is and What
it Means
To the Editor of The Gate City:

iI ifcdHS.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
There is some current misunder-
standing of what is meant by the fig
ures appearing each evening in the
press as to the number who have
"hit the trail" in the tabernacle cam
paign. DIR. Scoville explains it clear
ly to those who attend the meetings,
but others are apt to get wrong i'm
preston, and suppose that it means
new converts only.
DR. Scoyille extends the invitation
to four distinct classes: % those
who have been earnest members of
some church here, and come forward
for the sake of their influence and
example, (2) those who have been
members and feel that they have been
Indifferent, and want to make anoth-
er start toward christian earnestness
and fidelity, 90 those who have been
members elsewhere and have come
to Keokuk without becoming mem
bers of church here, and (4) those
who make a first confession of chris
tian faith. These different classes
sign cards Of different sorts, indicat-
ing their relation to the invitation.
All are counted among those who
''hit the trail" So that the numbers
reported should not be considered as
indicating so many new converts, and
possible increase Of the church mem
bership and christian forces of keo-
kuk. In addition to the above, it
should be understood that some Of
the new converts are from other cities
and towns in this vicinity, and many
others are children who have come

More Satisfaction.


Davenport Democrat: Keokuk's two
newspapers, The Gate City and
The stitution-Democrat have been
consolidated, and the result is a
paper that is plainly better than
either of them and that ought to give
a lot more satisfaction to its readers.
Keokuk wasn't a large enough city
to give proper support to two papers,
and the result was that neither vas
as good an article as the people were
entitled to and as they can be given
under the new arrangement. The new
Gate City has its own leased wire,
and editorial and reporting ability
enough at its command, apparently, to
make a real newspaper. keokuk is
one of the important links, too, in the
chain of river towns bound together
by common interest and needing a
spokesman with vision Of the splen-
did future of the great valley and
purpose to make his vision reality
in the years that are close at hand.

 LIVES ENDANGERED

NEW YORK. March S.-Flrst-hand reports of uprlsinga Of natives in Li- ber.a, by which the lives Of American missionaries were endangered, were brought here today by Miss Marie ] lSuckow, a Methodist missionary, for three years located at Jacktown, Li- beria. She was a passenger on the steamship Antcnia Lopez, from Span ish ports.
 According to Miss Suckow, the re- bellion was fomented because of re. ports that the white race was trying to take their country away from the natives.
 The rebellion was only quleted when, on Dec. 19, the United States scout cruiser Chester arrived off Green vile. the nearest port to the disorder, with 200 native soldiers on board from the garrison at Monroyia.
 Miss Suckow, with other Americans engaged Tn missionary work, were ta- ken aboard the Chester and transports cd to Monroyia.
 Miss Suskow said that during the first two weeks of December the vil- lage of Jscktown, about 20 miles from the coast. was surrounded by warsile natives Many persons were killed, buildings were burned on the outslirts of the town and foreigners lived in fear of a general massacre.
 Finally the missionaries managed to reach Greenville. on the coast. but were unable to got away because none Of the regular boats were there. The arrival of the Chester. however. quiet. ed matters and the Liberlan troops soon cleared the coast district of the hostile natives.
