classed with them as examples of
the Yankee passion for advance in
science. Every second American in
those days seemed to be an inventor

her novels, but authors who ship

that she claimed to be the originator

To the Editor of The Gate City:
For period OF time dating into
the past of some thirty years, the
intelligent reader Of current events
in our land has become familiar with
a subject which has for its headline
something like THE Labor Party"
Well this element seems to arrogate
to itself the fanciful claim and the
fantastic idea that their party is
about the only class OF people who
engage in real labor. The Gate City
of recent date contained an article
which gave kind OF census Of pub
lie labor affairs in Keokuk which
brought into the close perspective
that the total number Of men and
women employed in public labor is
3,02S
There are some ten thousand other
citizens of the city who are doing
their own business and working for
themselves, nenC6 II appears Lnat

THE sPEAKERsHIP.

The death of Colonel Roosevelt has brought
his son-in-law, Representative Nicholas Long
worth, into prominence as candidate for
speaker of the national house of representatives
While his distinguished father-in-law lived and
might be president again reason was found
in that for overlooking the claims to the speak
ership which Mr.. Longworth s services and
abilities gave him. But now the colonel's great
fame is an asset instead of hindrance to the
Onion congressman, and it is possible that
around him viii rally those members of the re-
publican party in congress who believe that the
speakership should go to middle west man
other than Congressman Mann
Mr.. Longworth is personally popular and his
fourteen years In congress have made him one
of the strong men of the ways and means COM
mittee and a power on the floor. Mr.. Mann, on
the other hand, though recognized as an adroit
parliamentarian, is doulineering person, dis
trusted and disliked by many mambers. He is
considered insincere, sharp practice politician
rather than statesman.
