with the active backing Of Barney Baruch and

HONOR FROM THE EAST.

According to report, mohammedan dlgnl.
tares have bestowed upon the president the
high and unusual honor of appointment to the
ancient and illustrous order of prophets. This
is not understood to confer prophetic vision on
him. nor does it appear to be recognition OF
any prognostcating capacity he has ever
shown 1t does not put him in class with the
major or minor prophets, or endow him with
seership in any degree; but is an honor IN the
nature of decoration which any eminent pub
lie character might win Apropos of this 1T
might be noted that Abdul Bahia Abbas, the
Syrian head of the Bahai cult, approves OF the
general principles and aims of the league OF ma
lions and in a letter to one of the members Of
the League to Enforce Peace speaks of the presl-
dent as the well wisher of the world"
The ancient east, however, is far from unanl-
nous as to the merits Of the covenant. China
is far from enthusiastic for it, and even from
japan comes a critical and discordant note
The league can never amount to much, accord
ing to a Japanese newspaper, unless the imperial
ruler Of Japan is placed at its head. Thus
only could it be invested with the 'supernation-
al, superracial character it must possess in
order to be a success. 1t had not been gener-
ally supposed that the mikado had any ambition
along that line AS far as known America had

WEAR AND TEAR OF ROADS ON TIRES

tent that second set OF shoes Is

Forty million tires and their

expenditure for road travel and

Don't however, let pleasure-seek

SUPPRESS THE HooDLUMs.

There is in Keokuk number of boys who
give the police authorities more than enough
of trouble, as witness the disorder and vandal-
ism prevalent throughout the city on last Fri
day night. Destruction of property Is one OF the
methods resorted to by the disorderly element,
but their most dangerous practice is the dls-
charge of firearms within the city limits. One
youth who has been thorn in the side OF the
police for the past two years, but who for some
mysterious reason has escaped punishment for
his confessed misdemeanors and more serious
offenses, was apprehended while discharglng a
loaded revolver That some person was not
killed injured is only a stroke OF good for
tune. Dealers are prohibited from selling fire
arms to minors, and it might be easy to trace
the guns and revolvers owned by the lad back
to those who provided him with the weapons.
But there is more urgent need for the suppress
sion of an element that is gaining an upper
hand in Keokuk.

moving passenger car and the
loaded motor truck damage the
road. and as you read on you note
how the writer proposes to design
a highway to withstand these ef-
fects, and how speed and weights
should be limited, and how the
cost burden should be distributed.
"Few Of those who discuss
transportation questions give
thought to the fact that over seven
million motor cars, which require
annually twenty-eight million tires,
exclusive OF renewals, create
problem, namely: How fast Will
these tires wear out on each type
Of road surface? Compare, for in
stance, the smooth residence OF
some city streets with the rough,
gritty and flinty surfaces so often
encountered on country roads, and
try to imagine what tidy sum
in tire bills would be saved II we
could all travel on avenue sur
faces. The saving in tire costs
alone would pay the difference in
construction cost in many In
stances"

TODAY's BIZ OF VERSE
WANING MOON.

The dawn is down behind the shore
Four stars OF gold against blue SKY,
And In their midst the waning moon
That once proudly rode on high!
The silent trees breathing soft
Susurrus to the rivers breast;
The world still sleeps amid the croft
OF dreams that fall eyes Of rest.
A gallant ship with mist-damp sails
Makes up the stream with melons piled
High on he rdecks; the old night pales;
The dawn still hesitates beguiled.
In mystic glory all her own
The dear moon drifts in that great sea,
That has more space than all the stars
Can ever sail, however free.
The gnomes have turned their lanterns down.
The fairy dancers fold their wings:
Far off the n1ur1nur Of the town.
Near by comic night bird sings,
One soft red finger of the morn
Lifts Ger the tide-the four stars wait;
The moon seems weary tired and worn,
Like mems hearts, heavy with old fate.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Whether
it would be of any momentous bene-
fit to the country to have couple
OF months debauch between wartime
and amendment prohibition may well
be doubted If it is only for two
months it is hardly worth while on
the part of those who believe in wet
ness. In Iowa it would not benefit US
in the least, for we would continue
under state prohibition.
Charles City Press: It's unfortunate
that the peace treaty can't be made

would be the most effective way to
settle 1t.
Davenport Democrat: A lot OF
republicans who have been wondering
TO what size the Johnson boom would
grow were probably glad his OLD
amendment was defeated, even II
they were in the bunch that cast their
votes for it.
Denison Review: In reading the
newspapers throughout the country
one is led to the irresistible concIu-
sion that the labor unions have made
nm their minds that the government
must take orders from them. Con-
gress has already been threatened
that If legislation Is enacted looking
to restraining the railroad employees
from striking the unions will regard
this as cause for revolution. Inc poil-
ticians have so long been deferring to
the labor people that now tney 1eei
they have the upper hand and the gov
eminent must take orders from them.
It is time to call halt and TO serve
notice upon the labor unions that the
government is supreme In the United
States.

you all in you are

round of the links-or
any other exercise that re.
quires much physical exer-
ton. Many a man, even in
his middle forties, has a
vague feeling that he is

at a time when he should be
at his very best physically.

The times do change. In 1883 and
the years earlier the theory seemed
to be that since a woman wasn't as
effective as man, she should work
longer. The happy duty:
Mans work is from sun to sun,
