Manager Ingle Of the Keokuk Electric
company is having number of signs
announcing the change prepared.
These signs viii be placed in the cars.
1t probably VIII be Wednesday before
the signs are ready, and day will
be given for the people to familiarize
themselves with the change.
In Hamilton and Warsaw. where
possible, the near side stop rule will
be in effect, but In those towns, on
the unpaved streets, with the near
side stop. the rear end of the car
would be SO located that passengers
leaving the car would be compelled
to step in the mud. With the far
side stop the rear end is at the street
crossing. This was originally the rea-
son for the far side stop, but in a!
the principle cities Of the country the
paving Of the streets has made 1t pos
sible to stop the cars anywhere, with
out inconveniencing the passengers.
The near side stop Is much safer
than the far side stop. In the latter
the motorman runs his car across the
street intersection, and Is liable to
rup down a vehicle, before the view
is unobstructed by the houses Or
buildings on the corners. With the
near side stop, the car stops at the
and the motorman can
see that the street is clear before he
starts the car.
The unpaved street on the out
skirts Of the city win not interfere
with the system, as with the one
man system now in use on such
cars, the front end of the car is used
for both the entrance and exit

Get Evidence Saturday.
The evidence was secured by two
detectives on Saturday. One pur.
chased the liquor, and the other wit
messed the transaction. Under the
law it is necessary to do this.
This is only another step in the
efforts being made by the present
administration to make Keolkuk as
clean a city as there is in the west.
Numerous arrests have been made in
the last few weeks, and the police
are maintaining vigilant watch
over . number of susptcioned places.
Hard to Get Evidence.
Fred Hilpert, commissioner Of
public safety. stated this morning
that he believed many people die
not realize the difficulty that con
fronts the police in getting evidence
against suspected joints. Mr.. Hilper'
says that many people imagine thai
all that is necessary to break up boot
Logging Is to take q detail of police
and raid the place by force, confis
eating the liquor that may be found
on the premises and arresting all the
denizens of the house. Under the
present state laws this can not be
done, until bonafide evidence is OBJ
tanned against the place in the man
ner stated above. This is very diff
ficult, as most proprietors are TAI
too shrewd to sell liquor to anyone
with whom they are not well 40
quainted, especially when there are
two, as the very fact that they come
together creates suspicion.

WORLDS BIGGEST NAVY.

As President Wilson swung around
the circle the other day in his propa,
gandu for preparedness his enthusiasm
progressed is the distanc" from the
White House increased.
The president started II with the
iIra that we should rave a good
navy, me capable Of coping with such
situations as seem likely to arise in
the future.
But from a crediablp navy the pres
idpnt passed to the position of ask
ing for a big navy, then a bigger one,
and finally for the biggest navy in
the world.
We have been wondering whether
President Wilson is becoming appre-
hcnsivc concerning the possible nomi-
nation of the man from Oyster Bay
and has concluded to Out-Teddy Ted
dy.
Then, again, we have been half in
clined to think that Mr.. Wilson's
declaration for the biggest navy in
the universe may have been due to
the Quotations of a newly married
nan.
If SO, it was merely the case of the
tongue running away with its owner,
