Lick a stamp; lick the kaiser.
The thrift stamp campaign in Keo-
kuk is progressing in a satisfactory
manner, J. P. Ingle, chairman of the
committee, reported today. Mr.. Ingle
has a number of the large local in
dustries helping in the sale of these
stickers, and everyone in Keokuk is
going to be asked to lick stamp
and thus help lick the kaiser. Among
the industries which are helping push
the sale of stamps are the j. G.

grim after the priest and the Levite
had passed by on the other side"
How true to some life the parable
runs is told in this story of an un-
named st. Louis clergyman who rode
alone in his big limousine while a
saloon keeper was making numerous
trips downtown Gin his machine, and
giving a helping hand to wayfarers."
One man, it is reported, looked into
the clergyman's car and said: THAT
isn't christianity
We concur in the opinion that no
form OF human selfishness, particu-
larly in such trying times as we are
experiencing, can be christianity. The
priest in the parable, without regard
to his greater pretensions, was more
unregenerate than the despised
Samaritan who helped the unfortu-
nate pilgrim by the wayside. That
has long been the opinion of the
world, but that the type still persists

FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT
Music Which VIII be Played by keo-
kuk Concert Band Is Ar
ranged by Director
Bower.

The musical program tomorrow
night, arranged by w. H. Bower, d.
rector of the Keokuk concert band,
will include the Company l. march,
the French national air, and the
Star Spangled Banner will be played
at the conclusion of the program.
Following the usual etiquette, the
audience is requested to stand for the
French national air, La Marseillaise.
France is an ally of America as much
as is England, and after all the dis
cussion over the standing for the
British air, it will be only fair to urge
that the audience rise for the Marseil-
laise, which will be played just be-
fore the speaking.
Here is the program:
March-Stars and Stripes -. Souse
Overture-Poet and Peasant. .Suppe

WATER TRANSPORTATION.

American Review of Reviews: AS
countrywide distributors, able to
load and unload at mill or ware
house, and with conveniences for in
terchange of traffic, railroads have
enjoyed tremendous advantage
over waterways in general commerce.
Having, as the best system of gen.
eral portation, attracted capital
and built up business, it was quite
in accord with the spirit of the last
few decades for the railroads to en-
deavor to conrtol all Interstate trans
portation. 1t was not uncommon for
railroad companies to buy up steam
boat lines and water fronts, to refuse
to exchange freight with water car
riers, and to make trouble for GUS
toners who divided shipments with
river lines during seasons of naviga-
ton.
Poor channels and varying stages
of water have caused irregularities
in service; while poor terminal facili-
ties and old-fashioned methods Of
handling have caused damages and
delays, very annoying to shippers
and receivers. Joint bills of lading
could seldom be secured. Shippers
who divided their traffic between rail
and river lines often found it diff
cult to get cars when they most
needed them. A slightly lower river
rate was not generally considered
sufficient advantage to Offset these
delays and disadvantages.
But a new state of affairs, has
arisen.
Our railroads are now being oper-
ated by the federal government, and
water transportation is being recog-
nized as helpful ally wherever it is
possible to divert a portion of the
traffic of the country to the water
ways and thus leave the railroads
open to such traffic as can be handled
more advantageously by them.

JURY VERDICT
FOR PLAINTIFF
Jury Renders Verdict for Plaintiff In
Case Of Bennett VS.. the
Santa Fe Rail-
road.

The jury at the court house returned
verdict for the plaintiff in the case
of Bennett vs.. the A. 7. & S. F. Rail-
way company. The plaintiff, Marg
aret Bennett, brought suit against
the company because of the death Of
her husband, Frank Bennett, who was
killed by a freight train a mile and a
half west OF New Bostin, July IL. 1915.
Bennett was track walker and
was told by the foreman to clear the
tools from the track to make way for
the west bound passenger train. He
cleared away the tools and stood on
the track watching the oncoming
train. An east bound freight that he
failed to see, struck him and he was
killed instantly. The Bennett family
lives at New Boston.
The case was finally settled by the
verdict of the jury this morning.

real loss to the KeolSuk bar.
