WATER METER
SWINDLER OUT
Collects Small Sum for inspecting a
Meter with which, He Has no
Business to
NEEDLE.

II anybody except the veteran Louis
G1lmble comes to your house or store
eand wants to inspect the water meter,
make him show written credentials
from the Keokuk Water Works com.
pany, or shut him UP in room or
closet and call the police.
A man visited places in KeolSuk yes
terday and said he wanted to inspect
the water meter. He was allowed to
go down cellar to the meter. When
he came back, he said they owed him
a quarter for the inspection, and this
was paid him.
Nothing was missed out of the cell
lar of the man. reporting this to the
police, but the scheme gives great
opportunities for theft
Everybody in town knows Louis,
and nobody else should be allowed
down to the water meter without
l'showing clear authority.
While there are no reports about
the electric and gas meters, the same
Ngame would apply to them, and the
same warning might be given about
them. Also everybody in town
knows Silas Brant, Of the Keolsuk
IFlectric company.

STEALING FROM
FREIGHT CARS
Zone Car of Meat and Two Cars OF
Merchandise Were Looted Last
Night on Uptown
Switch.

Four hams and some merchandise
of variety of kinds were the loot
thieves stole from three freight cars
on the uptown switch last night.
That the car doors had been fore
ed was discovered by swdtchm er
handling the cars, and they notified
the police.
The meat was taken from one car
and 1t is believed that the theft of this
car occurred on the levee before 1t
was brought up town. The merchan-
disc was taken from two cars, the
seals OF which were broken.
This is an offense against the Unit
ed States with heavy punishment now,
and the thieves will undoubtedly be
caught later.

IGRAND JURYS
| BIG FUNCTION
Judge Martin Wade, rof Federal Court
Here Makes Fine Address to
New Panel This
Morning.
THIS GOVERNMENT LASTS
II Seems to be Only One In History
With Elements of Permanently
In Its Meth
DDS.

dIn always very anxious TO nave
the grand jury to understand, NOT
only its duties, but It's place in our
form of government" said Judge
Martin Wade in beginning his charge
to the grand jury in the federal court
here this morning.
The government Is not at Wash.
ington, but in every household in the
United States. The government CON
fers no rights or liberty on the peo-
pie. for the people have these rights
and liberty inherent in them. The
purpose of government is to protect
the citizen in his liberty
"a man may be deprived of his
liberty without being put in jail-a
man has the right to property and
opinions. and whoever interferes
with the property or freedom of con-
science interferes with the liberty
of a man
Civilization has taken away from
the individual the right to punish
and transferred it to the govern
ment.
Ours Only Permanent Government
"The constitution of the United
States preserves the old institution
of the grand jury. Ours seems to be
iithe only practical. working system
of government that shows any evil
dence of permanency. because it is a
free government and is q represen.
tative government.
Congressman, state legislators and
grand jurors are all representatives
of the people.
"The function of the grand jury is
not only to punish the wrong-doer,
but also to see that the innocent is
protected in his liberties.
There is not court or Judge in
the United States big enough to have
the power to- convict any man OF
crime in this country, because that
thing, the enforcement of the laws
is held in the hands OF the people.
The Big, Important Fact.
"a court cannot even try a man
for serious offense until men like
you present to the court the man
for trial.
Il mention these things because
we need wider knowledge Of our
methods OF government in order that
the people may have greater conf
dence in our form of government.
THE big thought that ! want to
sink into the minds of all Of you and
others is that the statement that this
is a government by the people Is not
mere statement, but a big fact.
"This is government by ma
jority Of the people, and you can't
run a government on any other prin-
cfple. The minority must submit for
the time being to the majority, which
may at times be wrong, but comes as
near to being infallible as anything
we can get All men should submit
to even a wrong law until it is re-
pealed."
Judge Wade then talked Of the CO.
incident, but Independent, govern
ments Of the state of Iowa and the
United States ruling us here in south
ern Iowa, and passed ON the special
parts of the federal government in
action here, from the postoffiee to
interstate commerce, including steal
ing from freight cars, the white slave
law and transportation of liquor, and
from the revenue laws to other
phases Of federal functions.
