THAT MEETING
WAS A JOKE
Kangaroo Court of the Commercial
Travellers Raised Money for
United War Work is
ALL

When the local officers Of the Unit

practical joke, they tore Keokuk ur

and started more gossip than can be
stopped for years.
When they published in The Gate
City Of Saturday call for meeting
that night to try a member for I'M
patriotic acts, stating that one of the
members was strongly accused of Sc
dition. all Keokuk began to wonder
who the traitor was, and to guess
about it and mention its suspicious OF
the last year about one or two travel
ing statesmen.
It turns out that the whole meeting
was clever fake designed to get the
members to the meeting.
When they arrived and the lodge
opened and wendell it's slow way
through regular business, and then 1T
was announced that the charge was
working last Monday during the ceie-
bration. They were found guilty and
fined, and the prosecuting attorney OF
the moot court was fined $40 for
speaking disrespectfully of the bands
which were busy last Mondy and their
music. $40 was raised for the United
war work drive.
The kangaroo court had ]. G. Buss
for judge, A. H. Cushman for clerk,
George Radasch for prosecuting at
torney, and W. A. Ba1bach for baiifff.

WHICH IS IT NOW?

William f. Montavon, commercial attache of
the department of commerce, who has just re-
turned from tour of South America, where he
went to gather commercial data, after admit
ting that the war has chad something to do
with our increased trade in that quarter, says:
But, just the same, Japanese and Italian com
petition still there, and they are strong.
However, as the records show, we are having
no difficulty in beating them.'' Why, it was
just a short time ago that the war trade board
issued a statement saying that we would not
attempt to grab trade while the war was on,
and theoretically it is still on, as that might be
looked upon by our allies, or, to use Mr.. Will
sons expression, the governments with which
this government is associated as an act of bad
faith. And Chairman Hurley, of the shipping
board, expressed himself in similar fashion with
regard to competing with them. Is it possible
that the government departments in Washing
ton are working at odds this subiectg Or
have they swung around to the belief Of John
Il. Allen, vice president Of the National City
Bank of New York, that trade belongs to him
who can take it?''

Director General McAdoo intends to continue

throughout the period of government control
which under the law will end twenty lone
months after peace is formally declared This

observers of the development of government
policies, is represented believing that on the
showing made by the railroads under unified
control during the next year two depends
settlement OF the issue of permanent govern
ment control and ownership of restoration
OF private management. Without attempting
at this time to make definite stand on this
question, the director general, it is said, plans
to make government operation show the best
results possible. Instead of considering any
proposed reform in the light of its necessity as
a war measure, he will regard it from the stand
point of whether it will improve transportation
conditions for the nation s business in the
future.
Any consideration Mr. McAdoo will give to
the problem of an Improvement in transporta-
ton conditions for the nations business in the
future will be step in direction prayed for
by the travelling public and shippers 1t can

administration in the exercise of it's war
powers, took over the roads for the period of
