they will accept equality and not seek
domination



1.-The test, therefore, of every plan
of peace is this: Is it based upon the
faith of all the peoples involved or
merely upon the word of an ambitious
and intriguing government, on the one
hand. and of a group of free peoples
on the other? This is test which
goes to the root of the matter; and it
is the test which must be applied.
THE purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantage of any
kind We believe that the intolerable
wrongs done in this war by the furi-
Gus and brutal power of the imperial
German government ought to be re-
paired, but not at the expense of the
sovereignty of any people-rather a
vindication of the sovereignty both of
those that are weak and those that are
strong. Punitive damages, the dis.
memberment of empires, the estab
lishment of selfish and exclusive eco
nomic leagues we deem inexpedient
and in the end worse than futile-nC
proper basis for a peace of any kind
least of all for an enduring peace
That must be based upon justice and
fairness and the common rights OF
mankind.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Lumber business is still holding rela-
lively quiet, although prices are still
fairly we'll maintained and there is
no accumulation of stocks, the mills
having curtailed output.
The high prices ruling for agricul-
tural productions is fully offsetting the
lessening of the crop in some direc-
lions. Fruits are bringing better
prices and with an excellent distribu-
tive demand. The expansion in dairy
output has been a feature of the sea-
sons operations, while the canning in
terest has made further satisfactory
progress.
Provisions.
Butter-The firm tone to the butter
market that has prevailed for the past
few weeks developed into an advance
Monday, the price going from 44c to
47c for first and Acc for seconds on
Washington creamery. Factors in the
trade state that the market is firm al
the advance, but there probably will be
no further changes for a time at least
Eggs-The strength of the egg mar
ket which has been apparent for some
] time has resulted in another advance

Good Old Summer Time

After a spring of rain and cold
days, summer has at last promised to
be good Warm days are here again
and thoughts are turning to how to
keep cool and happy. The best plan
so far Offered is the knights of
Pythias excursion next Saturday aft
ernoon. The big steamer G. w. Hill
leaves at o'clock (Warsaw 1880 +,
making the cruise up Lake Keokuk
to Fort Madison. The boat will re-
main there until the northbound
evening train arrives, then return
home in the cool Of the evening.
There will be music and dancing on
board and a jolly good time is as
sured all who attend. Street cars
will be in waiting when the boat
touches Keokuk on the return trip.
Tickets so cents for adults, 25 cents
for children.-Advertise

Short Business Session.

A short business session was then
held. The matter of another dollar
day was brought up but the mer-
chants did not deem it advisable 10
hold another so soon and the matter
was dropped. A letter sent to the
mayor asking that an effort be made
on Independence day to get into
closer touch with the foreign ele-
ments Of the city, and read last night,
was referred to a committee for
action.
Two new members, the Keokuk
Paige company and Lutz & Stahl,
were admitted to membership. V. R.
Mckay spoke briefly in favor Of sell
ing the animals in Rand park and
using the money to beautify the
place. He said that Keokuk's chief
park was not kept up as it should
be, and did not compare with those
in other Iowa cities. He said that 1t
was a needless expense to care for
and feed the animals and believed
that the money could be expended 10
better advantage in making the park
a credit to the city. The matter was
referred to the executive committee.
