Foreign wars do not seem to make
sufficient excuse for delay in solving

bines the ideas of internal problems

no floodway, and so Keokuk should
get it's heads busy, official and indus
trial, though there is official power
now. The county has the power not
to dabble in things belonging to boun

it's misftness to even notice the agri

A story in the Burlington Hawk
Eye recently to the effect that there
would be no registration held there
for the primary election, sent city
officials here scurrying through the
Iowa code to see If there was any
law or ruling that would give pre-.
cedent for such action.
Nothing of satisfactory nature
could be found and so Keokuk will
have the regular registration for the
primary, as formerly. It is not known
here on what grounds the Burlington
officials based their right to abolish
the first registration. 1t is conceded
here that it would be money saver
if 1t were possible to put it in oper-
alton. ,.
The registration day for the pri.
mary election are March @ March 8
and March IL. The primary election
is on March 13. March is also the
last day for the filing of candidates
papers with the city clerk. Several
of the candidates have already turned
in their petitions with the necessary
number of signatures Of voters. While
some petitions had just the necessary
legal number, others run up in the
hundreds, one candidate having al
most four hundred names on his

Voice of the People
Our Problems National.

To the Editor of The Gate City;
In the Yearbook of the department
Of agriculture for the year 1907, page
SO, in handling the subject Of Soil
Erosion" the secretary of the depart
ment says:
"The immediate source Of our pros
perity is the soil of the American
farm, and it is a national duty to
see that the soil is conserved and
the farm improved for the immedi-
ate benefit of the farmer and the
ultimate welfare Of the country. One
of the richest assets Of the nation is
the water that falls on the farms,
permeates the soil, permits organic
growth. and after enriching the land
flows seaward Though the common
wealths to furnish substance and
power and afford means of COM
merce; and it is coming to be recog-
nized as one important duty OF the
nation to see that this water shall
be so controlled and conserved as to
yield the greatest benefit to the hold
ers of the land on which it gathers,
and eventually to; all the people. AT
the same time the evils of soil ero-
sion begin on the farm, and while
they extend thence to the pollution
of the streams Of the states and the
obstruction of interstate rivers, 1t is
becoming clear that the remedy must
begin with the farm and that it Is
a national duty to see that the rem
edy is prescribed and afflicted"
Our state certainly has not seen a
duty, nor the evil, nor need OF a pre-
scription. Keokuk does not seem to
desire to head the coming seers and
so, though at the head with cash, is
not saying much to have its money
we'll expended. Not that health can
no longer be tenable expense for

.Td certainly give most anything to

sively thin man or woman. Such re-
suit is not impossible, despite past
