WATER BONDS
WERE SOLD
West Point Disposes Of Paper to Dav-
export House Represented
BY johnson D.
Angle.

West Point Bee: The $4,000
water works bond issue was sold at
the meeting of the town council Mon
day night. The bonding house OF Geo.
M. Pechtel & Co. of Davenport, were
the only bidders and were sold to that
firm. The bonding house offered q
premium of $4,000 on the issue and
the same was accepted by the council
The bonds are to bear per cent and
are to run for twenty years with semi
annual interest bearing dates, the nrst
days Of May and November.
The council considers having made
a bargain as bonds at the present time
are not in demand. Owing to the war
scare bonding houses are not making
any efforts to secure investments OF
that kind at the present time. the
West Point issue was gilt edged and
for that reason the town was able to
get a premium on same. The bonding
house will print the bonds and look In
to other matters pertaining to the Is
sue free Of cost to the town. Johnson
B. Angle of Keokuk represented the
bonding house.

SHAW OR BARRIE -wH1oHq

/ Clayton Hamilton, writing In the Bookman
calls attention to the fact that the public de
/ lights in the plays Of Sir James Barrie while
| the professors of literature continually de-
| bate the plays Of George Bernard Shaw. Mr..
Hamilton also wisely says that Barrie by warm
| imagination appreciates life, while Shaw with
keen wit criticises it. Undoubtedly the second
statement furnishes cause for the first. The
great majority of people have far more sym
pathy with imaginative power to state the
things which they feel and dimly sense, than
they have of ability to state their feelings and
sympathies The greatest characteristics OF
all human beings are those most generally
shared by all; love, hatred, sympathy, selfish
ness. frankness, hypocrisy, honesty, deceit
these in varying measure are the qualities that
determine most of all the deeds of mon. These
are the themes that attract Barrie. Shaw IS
concerned with them, too, but in a much more
restricted way. He prefers to consider and
ridicule the outward aspect of mems deeds
and to hunt the eternal paradox between
avowed motives and actual conduct Barrie
deals with things that are too intimately felt
to be generally stated; that are so much part
of human nature that the professors dis
miss them as axioms. The critical faculty IS
baffled by axioms; it longs for debatable
ground and finds it in Shaw. But the public
gets all TOO little Of formal statement of its in
timacies of thought and feeling; and when it
finds such appreciative statement as Barrie
gives, it takes it to its heart.

ARABIA TURNS THE TRICK.

Much surprise is being expressed at the sud
den weakening Of the Turkish resistance in both
Mosopotamia and Palestine. A year ago Brit
fish army was surrendering on the Tgris and
the Turks were threatening the Suez canal
Now one British army has captured Bagdad al
most without q blow while another British
army is knocking at the gates Of Jerusalem.
Why this dramatic changei Some see in it
a collapse Of Turkish fighting strength. But
tais is not true. Turkey has suffered ir-
reparable losses in man power, and direct COM
munication with Germany assures her of ade-
quate supply of the sinews of war.
The gentleman in the wuodpile is the Arab
an Some months ago the shereff of Mecca, the
most influential person in the Arab world, re-
VOTED against the sultan, and thereafter Turk
ish authority in Arabia quickly collapsed
But this revolt was bound to have repercus-
sion far beyond the bounds of the Arabian
peninsula The inhabitants Of both Mesopo-
tamia and Syria-Palestine are overwhelmingly
of Arab blood. They are in close touch with
their kinsmen of the peninsula and share the
latter's hatred Of Turkish rule. In such semi
desert regions, where railways are few and
roads almost nonresident, the hostility of the
natives makes the supplying of armies a matter
Of superhuman difficulty. Within year the
Turks have become strangers in strange
land, occupying only the ground covered by
their cantonments and harried night and day by
fierce and ubiquitous guerilla foes. On the 9TH
er hand, the British are welcomed as deliverers
and friends.
Under these circumstances it is not strange
that Turkish resistance to British pressure has
weakened The wonder is that it has not ut
terly collapsed

-. Toilette lauohted."

Baltimore Sun: Senator La Toilette
laughed from time to time during the
filibuster, as he saw how successfully
he was preventing vote on the
question OF protecting Americans
from the fate which overlook those
on the Lusitania, the Laconia and
other marine victims Of U-boat devil
iehness. We can imagine the kaiser
and Won Tirpitx echoing his laugh
and calling him . fellow Of rare and
most excellent humor. A real come
dian in the great tragedy that is
enacting, a Jester at the funeral of
nations, one to Jolly up" the mourn
ers at the graveside. La Toilette
laughs and death grfns at him in re
turn as a grim humorist Of his own
kidney.
Paint him, somebody: paint the
Wisconsin senator laughing while the
world weeps. laughing in the faces of
the ghosts Of drowned children. of
women dying by inches of cold and
fright, like the mother and daughter
who persisted slowly in the lifeboat
Of the Laconia. It would make a
rarely amusing picture-for Berlin or
the Internal regions.
