one wants to hand Keokuk that black
eye, Mr.. kiedaisch said There is
no politics in it at all We are simply
for the proposition that Keokuk must
retain the court house, and we must
all be for it, if we are going to win"
Mr.. Kiedaisch told of the progress
being made, and of the successful
visits to the factories yesterday. In
most of these places the men are in

c. F. Mcfarland followed Mr..
Kiedaisch. He said he did not see
how any one could take the stand
that Storms is taking. He believed
that it would he defeated through
the efforts Of the local people and the
better element of Fort Madison peo-
pie who realize the enmity it would
create were Storms to be successful
and to introduce his proposed bills
in the legislature.
The Industrial association, Mr.. Nc
Farland said, keeps out of politics,
but this was not matter of politics,
but a matter OF vital interest to the
directors, he said, were signing the
same letter the league later voted to
have its representatives sign.

XIII Il for all Time.
President Justice said he believed
that opportunity was knocking at
Keokuk's door. By good big ma
iority against Storms next Tuesday,
Keokuk could forever SNOW under
the question, and bury it so deep that
it would not come out again. 1t is
not a question of politics, he said, or
he would never have consented to let
it come before the league. but it is
question which deeply concerns keo-
kuk. 1t is a question which Is more
or less agitated, and if Keokuk
would once and for all time take a
determined stand, she could kill the
question right now.
Mr.. Justice then gave some fig'
ures to show thet Keokuk Is paying
the lions share Of the taxes of the
county, and that Keokuk and the
lower district are paying more than
Fort Madison and the upper district
The figures are the following:

most cons picuous service, however,
was in connection with the Masonic
fraternity. He was the founder OF
the splendid library OF that organi-

died many years ago, Mr.. Parvin has
not been forgotten by his many
friends and former students. Last
June they presented a fine oil por-

tell voters just where Storms name
and Oertel's are to be found on the
ballot.

Canvass Of Blocks.
Captain A. H. Evans was the next
speaker, and he suggested that there
be made a canvass of every BLOCK IN
the city between now and Tuesday,
and volunteered his services for two
blocks in his neighborhood. He
thought a canvass in the evening

of considerable assistance. 1t was
all right, he thought, to have men at
the polls. but this other way would
make doubly sure OF meeting the
voter. He said that the one court
house movement must be checked,
and the most effective way was by
starting a back fire like they did in
a prairie fire.

No Party Obligation.


Theodore A. Craig was called on
by President Justice, and received
plenty OF applause when he said he
was glad to testify to the non-part-
isanship OF the issue being discussed d..
He said that when q candidate STEP

Of all political precedent to get an
issue and was trying to hand it to
his home town, he didn't feel that he
or any other member of the party
need be under any obligation to vote
for such candidate.
sMr. Craig then. briefly, discussed
what the removal Of the court house
to Fort Madison would mean. He
said that it would mean that from a

come to Keokuk. Farmres who usual

A man to properly transfer a piece OF
property must spend more money
than he does now. Where now an
attorney can take five minutes and
step up to the court house and look
at a record, at no additional cost to
his client, he would have to charge
for the half day or day it would take
him to go to the court house in an
other place and look up the record.

Craig said. 81 doubt whether this
of the county officers told me it would
take at least $4,000 right at the
start to make the Fort Madison court
house in shape to receive all of the
records and the like"
There would be no saving in the
plumber Of oficials, Mr.. Craig thought.
There would have to be just as many
people employed in one court house
as in the two now maintained, be
cause the business would be just as
heavy And then there would be the
heavy expense of transferring all
prisoners, witnesses and lawyers to
one court house for trial.
Keokuk has hard job on her hands

NATIONAL DUTY.

Wherever you find these poor crea- lures whose brains are shattered; :; wherever you find human beings hud- dled together in wretchedness, wher- ever you find men living in a condi- ton of vice and crime, they all bear testimony that drink Is the prime agency in the creation of these un. slightly masses of pain and degrada' ton; and I say this, that the govern ment would fall abjectly in it's duties if. through any base fear of any force or combination of forces, they should shrink from doing all in their power to cut from the social organism this most malignant growth that drains the vitality of the nation.-Rt Hon. D. Lloyd-George.

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur- ance company of New York has to say about beer.
 "Of all intoxicating drinks, it is the most animaiZing. It dulls the intel lectual and moral and feeds the sens- ual and beastly nature. Beyond all other drinks, it qualities for delib- crate and unprOvoked crime. In this respect 1t Is much worse than distilled liquors. A whisky drinker will con- init murder only under the direct ex- cltement of liquor, beer drinker is capable of doing if fin cold blood. Long observation has assured us that large proportion of murders delib- erately planned and executed, without passion or malice, with no other mo- tive than the acquisition of property or money, often or trifling value, are perpetrated by beer drinkers"

TRADE COUNCIL SENDS MES
 SAGES TO CONGRESSMEN

President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, yesterday wired the Central Trades Council of Little Rock to urge upon the Arkansas mem bers of Congress the importance of supporting President Wilson's pro gram for the adjustment of the diff ferences between the railroads and the brotherhoods. The council sent a strong telegram to each member of the delegation to vote for the S-hour day law.
 Everything is being arranged here to meet the requirements of strike. Railroad officials and others, at this distance, fear that it will be impos- sible to avert the strike. There are provisions enough it is estimated to last for month, but untold inconven- fence will be caused by the tleing up of all trains.

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.

Because the report of the internal revenue commissioner shows an in crease in the revenue from distilled spirits the liquor interests are using 1t to bolster up their pet argument, "Prohibition does not prohibit"
 The reason for this increase is found. not in the greater consumption of whisky by the people of the United States. but in various changing condi- tions here and abroad. One of these Is set forth by the secretary of the treasury in the following statement: {:
 Notwithstanding the spread of pro- hibitiOn, collections on distilled spirits for the first ten months of the fiscal year showed an increase over the cor responding period of a year ago. This Is due in great measure to the effec. tive enforcement of the internal rev. enue tax on distilled spirits. It is estimated that through the campaigns of the treasury department against undergauging, equalizing and blockad- ing in distilleries, the revenue of the
 
 probably $5,0O0,OOO annuallly."
 A further explanation Is that the large quantity of spirits shipped from this country to Africa to take the place of the British product now barred from shipment because of the European war, Is counted In the 'in- creased consumption" During the year ending June 30, 1915, exports amounted to 1,663,000 gallons; during the nine months, July, 1915 to March. 1916. 5,S50000 gallons were exported. Then again there has been a steady decrease In the supply of imported liquors due to difficulties of transpor- tation. Some of the foreign distillers have opened branches in this country, and the taxes on their output are now added to the internal revenue of the United States.
 Other reasons might he given, but these suffice to show how alert the liquorites are to seize upon any appar- ent advantage furnished by figures and how prone the public is to arrive at nasty conclusions. It Is not within the province of the internal revenue department to Interpret Its report or to explain where or how the tax-pald liquor Is actually used.
 If the brewers and distillers believe what they are loudly claiming that the internal revenue reports prove that more liquor is sold under prohlbi- ton than under license, we shall find them this fall lining up with the drys {: We shall find them during the anti election-campaign working and spend ing their millions to make six more states and the territory of Alaska dry.

TONS OF WHISPERS.
Commercial Appea.)

Commercial Appeal
 There Is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in France. An in- exorable army order has been issued decreeing the removal of whiskers from the chin and cheek of the men at the front. This, according to sta tistics furnished from the Depart ment of War in Paris, means that 120 tons of whiskers will be sacrificed to the war god.
 It was Rostand, that eminent poet and dramatst, who so beautifully pie tured life on the stage, who at one time remarked that the beard was a symbol "of all the beauty of all of France, soul, a jewel, a torch, a prod" This leaves us unmoved. for we are in the habit of thinking of the beard in such unpoetic terms that we cannot, for an instant, accept the poetic views of Rostand. We look upon the beard as most un- sanitary. We look on it as hotbed l in which germs are matched. The beard was an evidence of strength in generations past. The beard today is an evidence of weak ness.
 Our yesterdays are gone. We live today in an enlightened era where sanitary methods are necessary for the preservation of the race. In the French trenches it can be easily understood why boards are un- desirable. Men can do more efficient work with clean shaven faces. The beardless chin has long been the rule in the Department of War in this country. It is an adjunct to health and cleanliness. It means a better source of health, for the men who have to face certain sanitary contin- gencies whiskers are not in the least conducive to health.
 In the German army the men on the line of fire are not only shaved well, but their hair is clipped. They enter the trenches so trimmed that they are | in a sense immune to the spread of contagion.
 In this day mad generation a clean skin is the vital essential to public health, according to all eminent au- thorities.

DEFACTOS DEFEAT
 BAND UNDER VILLA

Chihuahua City, Mex, Aug. 3l.- The town of Satevo, Chihuahua, cap tured by Villa bandits last week, was reoccupied by Carranza troops yester- day, and the outlaws pursued to the hills, where a sanguinary battle was fought for five hours, with bare fists and revolvers, according to reports to General Jacinto Trevino today from General Eliseodondo. General Villa was in personal command, 1t was said. Eliseodondo estimated that in killed, wounded and captured, tho bandits lost l50. He made no report on the Carranza casualties, although admitting they were heavy.
 Reports received by the military au- thorities here today said that when the Villa bandits captured the town of Satevo, 30 miles south of here, last Friday. they burned widow named Ruiz. alive, and shot her son, Angus tin Ruiz. It was charged, according to the reports, that the two had given information to officers of the Amerl- can expeditionary column when It pursued Villa through that town sew eral months ago.

THE WORLDWIDE SHORTAGE IN
 PAPER.

The scarcity of paper, which is so seriously affecting the newspapers of the United States, is not confined to this country, nor even to Europe. Re- ports to the United States govern ment show that there is a very ser iOus scarcity in Brazil, and there are signs there that a paper crisis is ap- preaching. It is suggested in that country that the newspapers should print smaller editions in order to economize on paper. Reports from Spain indicate that the manufacturers of paper have advised the government that, in view of the short supply of paper, they are willing to discontinue the export trade. and have asked that the government fix a price on paper. commission has been appointed con- ssting of representatives of the gov emment, the paper manufacturers, newspaper publishers and book pub fishers to pass on all complaints for mulated, and to investigate the entire subject. In Spain wood pulp is re- ported as having increased S5 per cent since the war began. More than half of the supply of wood pulp in that country has been coming from sweden, while Germany and Norway furnished a considerable portion.
 These conditions in Europe and in South America are indicative of the worldwide paper situation. Readers Ol newspapers, magazines and adver- users should recognize this situation. When the price of pig-iron advances, 'ne makers of machinery increase 'aer prices, When the price of cot 'On adVanceS, cotton manufacturers ore necessarily compelled to increase 'ne prlce of the finished goods, and so runs the rule all through the business "O,'u' except m the publishing end, anu nere It would seem that publish ''S out Of the desire to run into bank 'up"y are expected, regardless of the p''e oi the raw materials, not to ad- Al ND'e lne price of their papers nor ,nelf advertising rates.
