Harding Kennedy is stronger and
the republicans hope to elect their
whole county ticket.
C. f. Skirvin, of The Keokuk Gate
City, and Hazen I. Sawyer also
spoke Mr.. Sawyer said he found 1t
difficult to interest people in poll
tics. The democrats are waging a
quiet, insiduous campaign and the
democratic administration Is playing
politics. 1t is constantly and skill
fully playing wise game. The only
thing to be done is personal work
and getting out the vote. There are
so many other meetings that it's i'm
possible to work up political enthu-
siasm The state ticket is all right
and the congressman is coming
straight through.

Heal Skin Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
81. 90 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanseS and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating. dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t Is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
TODAY and save all further distress.

THE APATHY OF VOTERS

That there will be no bands, no
parades and little if any speaking
in the republican campaign this fall
in Iowa developed at the conference
at Burlington last week.
Chairman Rawson is feeling very
comfortable over the prospects for
his party, thank you, and the meet
ing reflected that sense of security
in the reports from all the counties
of the first district
The difficulty, it was agreed, is
going to be to get the voters to the
polls.
Chairman Rawson laid emphasis
upon the need of work. He stated
that there would be no possibility of
carrying ninety-nine counties Of the
state for Governor Harding, but that
he would be elected by a safe ma
jority.

One of his brothers lives at Camp

have died and are buried at Baldwin.
The First Methodist church Of Keo-
kuk passed out of existence a long
time ago, the congregation and that

corner Of Tenth and Main streets.
While DR.. Murphy was pastor, the
First church worshipped in an edi-

kuk will remember that First
church, locally called the Bee Hive,
occupied house which still stands
on the north side of Exchange street
between Third and Fourth. This
was in the time of Rev. John Bur
CESS, who long since passed away
and is buried in Oakland cemetery.

JUSTICE FOR IRELAND.

IT T WAS a novel spectacle to N see the British flag, flying under the American flag, from he Federal Building in Bridge port, and on the Federal build ings throughout the United States. It was strange and wonderful sight to see vast aud fences assembled throughout he United States, to celebrate British accomplishments and British victory.
 But these sights were not as wonderful as some other things Americans witnessed during 5he past few months. It was more wonedrful that America sent vast armies to Europe, and strangest thing of all, to find Americans fighting side by side with British soldiers, on the most terrible battle fields that ] ever were.
 Men were brought together oy perils shared and dangers surmounted.
 When soldiers come back one nay expect the long tradition of Irish antagnoism to Britain re- 1uced to a disappearing quan- tity. This feeling that the sol Iiers coming home do not en- certain, will not find shelter in the bosoms of those who did not fight.
 One result of the war must De the adjustment of the Irish problem, which is part of the problem with which the presi- lent must deal at tho peace table.
 What long years of hatred have not done to heal the breach between British and Irish will be accomplished through the brotherhood of comrades in the war.
 It must not be forgotten that two elements will aid MT. Will son in his desire to obtain the rights of small nations. Lloyd George, who in all human prob ability will continue at the head of the British government, re- cognizes the necessity for an Irish settlement. The great British labor party, which most observers believe must some day come to a position of dom- inance in Britain, has incorpor- ated in it's political program he demand for self determina- ion for Ireland. The thing will oe done. There is no good req son why the common people of America, Ireland and England should not dwell together in harmony, each justly proud of the sacrifices and the victories of the others.
 Such meetings as that at the Armory, Saturday evening, do more to bring autonomy to Ire and than all the meetings of mutual hate have done through thousand years.
 No small nation can have the lights by the doctrines of force and hate. But each smalln alton nay and shall have it's rights by the creed of justice anC democracy.

ANOTHER RESPITE FOR
BARLEYCORN'S LOVERS
Norris Amendment Has Been Changed
And Liquor Is To Remain
Bond Free

Another breathing spell was given
the whiskey people of the country and
the thirst of the consumers or old John
Barleycorn still given chance by the
action on Saturday of Congress IN
changing the Norris amendment TO the
agricultural appropriation bill which
would have closed the bonded ware
houses as soon as the President signs
the measure The change in the
amendment sets the date of effective
ness back to June 80. 1919, the same
date that the sale of alcoholic liquors
for beverage purposes is to be stopped.
The reported change in the date is
calculated to remove much OF the OPP
position to the measure, because, with
only about 130,000.000 gallons of
whisky remaining in bond, it is esti-
mated that by the end of June of next
year nearly all will have been with
drawn in the natural course of trade.
This estimate is based on the rate of
withdrawal that has prevailed for the
last six months.
But under a Norris amendment
liquor may be withdrawn and sold for
export, and as a great deal has al
ready been bought for English and
other foreign account, it is safe to say
| that June 80 next will find all the
| liquor in this country either consum-
| ed or in the hands of the consumers
except such quantities as have been
| sold for export.
The interest of the bankers in the
pending measure is the large sums
of money they have loaned on whisky
warehouse receipts. The total of such
loans in the country at large is said
| to amount to not less than two hun
| Ord and fifty million dollars.

SOME GOOD TIPS
ON TIRE TROUBLE
Interchanging Will Realize Mini
mum Wear From Set.
Reasons Why
RIGHT REAR WEARS FAST

Do you know that your right rear
tire wears faster than the other three?
Well, it does. Have you ever stopped
to think of the reason for it? The
answer is furnished here by the B. f..
Goodrich Rubber Company, together
with some timely advice on inter
changing tires TO realize maximum
wear from your entire set.
Since your power and traction come
from the rear wheels your rear tires
get the hardest wear. You drive on
the right side of the road and roads
are crowded-your car usually is
slightly tilted-more weight being on
that side, therefore. your rear right
tire takes hold first and bears more
traction than the left.
When in motion the left rear tire
rolls along comfortably on the smooth
middle portion of the road, while the
right rear gets the rough going on the
off-side. the sharp edges of the as
phalt. the rocks and ruts, and is more
likely to encounter objects thrown on
the side of the road. Then again, the
rear tire bears the brunt of the stop
ping. sometimes sliding-a, majority
of the wear falling on the right rear
The tire receiving the next hardest
usage is the left rear, then the right
front and last the left front. So when
your right rear begins to show signs
of wear and you wish to spare it, put
it on the left front wheel. And like
wise change your left rear to the
right front

How 1t feels facing bullets at the

Being short, there was little necessity
for my bow, but until you find out the
