| Occasionally read some little pop
ular criticisms on the condition OF the
Des Moines valley railroad, and |
think OF the law-mahng politicians OF
Iowa who for thirty years or longer
have taken special delight In passing
Ienactments for the reducing of pas
senger and freight rates on the rail
roads of the state. From five cents
the rate went to three cent, and then
to two, for passengers. Many roads
Of the second class have had strug-
gle to exist, and could not improve
their systems as the public demanded.
The observer has in view some three
roads in his official district which have
been unable to progress but little, on
account of small patronage and in
inadequate revenues from tariffs
Critics should range their fault
finding on the cheap politicians of
their state legis latures, end not on the
struggling railroads.
Now It is mid-winter time, with the
usual admixture OF conditions which
are unpleasant and serious to many
forms of life. There are several
classes which deserve notice and at
ltention, but just here we will talk OF
birds, especially those which remain
with us in these cold latitudes all the
year. Now, you members OF the
Audubon society. and you who are
kind, are extending some little acts of
good will to aid the blessed birds to
have food and some protection from
the weather and other enemies? The
town OF Keokuk has in it's population
quite number OF real friends of the
birds, and suspect that these lovers
Iof the good and true and beautiful are
all doing their duty in aiding the

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. DR.. Lapsley, and
the Mitchell girls, well, presume
they are active IN the good mission OF
kindness and aid to the useful and
happy little winged beings. AS for
the writer at Seven Pines, he has
several lunch counters out for the con-
venience Of the bird tribes, and many
visitors come each day In quest OF
dainties. Then, pines and cedars at

The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-01-04

Human life appears to run in periods
OF crazes which extend through SER
les Of years. Just at present the CHIEF
craze is war among the great ma
tons, and the craze, or malady, Is con-
Itagious and Is spreading. Other great
ipowers will become infected and will
go forth and add their powder to the
great cloud OF sulpher and gas. Quite
likely the United States and China,
and Japan will bring out their bugles
and sing their national songs OF strife,
and all Join in the world wide strug-
gle for office and power and commerce.
Perhaps we may soon read of the
Eskimos coming down from the arctic
circle, eating whale blubber and seal
steaks, and crying out thst they are
here to join the anglo-French allies
Burning powder is the great attraction
these days. and swords and spears and
tomahawks should be placed in easy
reach for an emergency. The dove Of
peace is compelled to live in great
seclusion for years to come. And
even this fine bird may develop
traits of character belonging to flesh
eating birds.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Mike Gibbons,
the elusive middleweight from ST

York crowd since his clash with
packey Mcfarland at Brighton Beach
last summer, when he meets Ied hio
Lewis, the English welterweight cham-
Mon in a ten-round bout at Madison
Souare Garden. Gibbons has kept far
awav from New York since the Nc
Farland bout but boxing fans nave
about forgotten his weak showing IN
that poor exhibition.
The st. Paul phantom has everything
in his favor tonight. Gibbons will
have many pounds advantage IN
weight over Lewis. but speed Will De
the dominant factor. Lewis is a boxer
of rare defensive skill. and has rec.
ord for knocking out opponents that
even Gibbons cannot match.
Mike, however, is of the type when
prefers to outpoint rather than knock
out a rival, but in a recent bout with

GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
Approaching to the Disk.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Trying to pitch up approaches be-
yond the pin by the way. should not
be condemned, because il would be i'm
possible ever to hole out from off the
green. There are tales of such shots
railing plump into the cup and stay
ing within it, as snug as bug in a
rug, but few have ever seen such "A
wonderful climax. But it has been
my good fortune to have seen about a
dozen approach shots land in the hole.
and twice have I been an eyewitness
of an iron shot holed from the tee In
each instance. after falling on the
green the ball ran as steadily onward
into the cup as though some invisible
player had given a helpful pat to II
with putter.
Certainly. approaching to the disk
would nullify all chances of such "A
lucky roll IF to do were as easy as
to know what 'twere good to do" or
if golf shots were played with ma
chinelike accuracy. Instead for even
though pace and direction have been
nicely calculated. some detail of the
lie may wreck the shot) there is al
ways the possibility of the pitch be-
ing short and thus yield the lucky
boon of a trickle-up that will finish in
the hole.
Also, a ball aimed for the disk with
the brakes on impaired by drag due
to backspin if played perfectly NAV
alight short and close to the base of
the pin, SO standing as fair show
of holing out quite often as such il
frequent episodes are due to any paf-
ticular player. The ratio of such tn
umphs in approaches cannot be proved
bv figures any more than the odds
against finding a four-leaf clover or
of next seeing a shooting star. The
cleaning of such a hole is one of for
tunes whimsical gifts, and while.
nothing is so successful as to achieve
the maximum reward in any endeavor.
it is technically a triumphant stroke,
there are many reasons TO acquit the
players opponent of unprovoked pro-
family should he brand it "a blanked
fluke."
The recording angel of golf as he
sets down the oath will laugh until
the tears fall from his eyes and wash
the page clean. To play for the disk
is good general insurance that you
will at least be up. Per contra. on
approaches so short that but for an
intervening trap they would be merely
approach puts. there is no occasion
to try to pitch beyond the pin.
