ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BENEFITS.

The incident in the recent pan-American
gathering at Washington given most attention
by the press and public was the outspoken
warning of Speaker Gillett that Mexico must be
reduced to law and order or the pan Americans
would prove themselves futile peace adjusters.
But this really except for its merit frank
and timely bit of advice, aside from the
purpose and work Of the conference which was
commercial in motive. There was an excellent
program proposed by which commercial rea-
lions NAV be made firmer in friendship and eff
Establishment of ample shipping ia
ciIities, reciprocity in trading methods and
regulations, basis of credit to meet the legiti-
mate needs of South American trade, safeguard
ing of trademarks and patents, enlarging parcel
post facilities improvement in the administra-
ton of consular Offices, capitalizing South
American railroad and highway construction
all these were discussed and measures taken to
bring them to practical achievement. The press
of the Latin republics has devoted much space
to news of this conference and to favorable COM
ment on it's proceedings. Our own press has
not shown the same interest and this fact is I'M
favorably commented upon in South America.
IPan-Americanism as fact would mean as
much to this nation as to its southern neighbors.
That it is coming to be fact is reasonable to
believe It is worth the attention of our press
and people that these semi annual conferences
are doing practical work to cement into solid
friendship and cooperation the nations of the
Americas.

The purchase by the city of another motor
fire truck is a move in progress and it will also
be for economy in the end. Horse drawn We
hicles are rapidly being discarded in depart
ments of other cities and Keokuk's officials, not
slow to realize the advantage Of up-to-date APP
paratus and the value of speed when fire calls
are turned in, wisely provide the community
with what it should have in the way of protec-
ton.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Are the meat
hackers to blame for high prices? Far
from 1t. Ask them. They did much

for it all. High beef, high coal, high

BOLD HOLD-UP ON
STREETS YESTERDAY
Negroes Take Big Roll From
One of Their Color After
Sand-bagging Him.

Three negroes, one Of them giving
the name of James Franklin, pulled
on an old reliable hold-up game of
highway robbery ON the streets Of
Brookhaven Friday afternoon and
so far two Of them have made good
their escape. Albert Mitchell, a ne
gro who is well known in this sec
tion Of the county is minus the sum
OF $425.O0 on account of the ''stunt"
staged by the other three on East
Monticello Street, just above First
Street. Mitchell had borrowed some
money to go over to Port Gibson for
the purpose of buying cattle and had
exhibited his roll in the presence of
the highwaymen, and they decided
to relieve him of the trouble of buy
ing cattle and spending the money
therefor. They succeeded in getting
Mitchell up on Monticello Street
where the running would be good,
then one of them requested change
for some money he had. Mitchell
not anticipating any trouble, pulled
out his $425.00 roll for the purpose
of seeing il he could accommodate
his particular friends with the
change desired, when the negro, who
had given the name of James Frank
lin, struck him blow that stagger-
ed him and one of his associates
grabbed the roll, all negroes scat
tering and running in different di-
rections.
Officers Of the county and police
force took up the chase, and Bob
Leary accomnanied in his autono
bile by policeman George James, ov-
ertook and arrested the Franklin ne
gro above the Central Planer, and
he was lodged in the Lincoln county
Jail.
The other two negroes made good
their escape and have not ben appre-
hended so far. Franklin had none
