4 CITY Is what it's citizens are, and that keo-
.kuk has not stood still in the past decade, as
have many of the river towns along Iowa s
eastern border. is certain indication that Its
citizenship is progressive and farslghted
While the percentage Of population increase Is
small. Keokuk NAV with truth offer that It's IN
crease in booster spirit during some years past
has been at the rate OF one hundred per cent
annually. until now it occupies position of su-
prernacv as center of desirability In location
Of business enterprise. Energy and courage
along constructive lines win transform village
into a busy hive of industry; and evidence is
not wanting that Keokuk's progressive citl-
zenrv has, through the medium of the local IN
dustral association worked unselfshty to the
end that here might be established additional
factories and commercial institutions. These
efforts have not been unrewarded, but there still
remains vast field for operation of the booster
spirit This field has the constant attention of
the officers and members of the Keokuk Indus
trial association. It is upon this organization
that depends mainly whatever of success results
in attracting new capital and manufactures to
the city.
Keoknk was not one of those cities favored
with award of extensive war contracts and it
NAV be that such exclusion from temporary
period of ephemerd prosperity may have been
"a blessing in disguise. With the close of the
war those centers Of industry that gave employ
rnent to thousands in the manufacture of sup
plies for the government Or contractors have
fallen back to their former standard state and
the reaction due to loss of population is sorely
felt This has not applied TO Keokuk, where
growth has been of character so substantial
as to force admission that it is founded on a

WE ARE AT PEACE-

The Knox resolution has passed both houses.
Congress declares that America Is at peace with
all the world and that the wartime emergency
legislation under which the president has ex-
ercised extraordinary powers is now annulled.
But the president desires to retain these pow
ers for the political leverage they give INN, SO
he will veto the resolution and tell the nation
that it is not at peace and cannot have peace I'M

PAYING MADoo's OBLIGATIONS.

It is a well known fact that during govern
tneDt control Of the railroads, claims against the
railroad companies could not be prosecuted as
ir ordinary times. There are now thousands Of
claims against the railroads account Of trans
notions which occurred while the government
was in control. 50 far as the claims are ultI-
natelv adiudicatcd against the railroads they
must be paid by the railroad companies and the
amounts must ultimately come out Of the peck
ets Of the shippers. AS an illustration Of the
pxtent Of these claims attention may be called
10 the testimony Of General Manager Cain, Of the
Gulf. Texas and Western railroad, line only
one hundred and thirty miles in length. Al
ready three hundred claims which accrued
Under government operation have been filed
against that road A large proportion Of these
claims are on account Of delay in furnishing ade-
huate service to the public.
During the period Of government control
owners Of railroads had nothing whatever to
hay concerning the management. Mr.. McAdoo

were not paid while Mr. McAdoo was in control
but they must eventually be paid The people

looks with glee upon the calling
Of strike. They say a strike is
harmful to their organization, it
Is expensive and tends to bring
to the front that small group
known as radicals. For this
reason union officers and dele
gates at the convention declare
!. in favor OF collective bargaining
and voluntary arbitration of labor
disputes.
This survey and conclusion
based entirely upon the type of
men who have attended the fed
Grafton convention The dele
gates weighed each proposition in
detail, refused TO act hastily or
to be rushed off their feet by
J ciamoring minority or faction. OF
further significance is the fact
that through the session OF FIVE
days. no delegate in debate or
discussion evidenced n desire to
upset or break down the stand
ards of government, industry or
commerce. Progress, civic and
industrial reform and betterment,
/ through ballot and organized in
. fiuence, was the keynote Of the
federation convention.
Delegates at this conference
have said that they want the
farmer to receive either profit
or pay in keeping with whatever
hours he works over the basic
eight hour day The labor unions
also stress the point that II they
can establish a co operative sell
I ing and distribution plan tina;
will appeal to the farmer, the
latter Will receive greater COM
pensation for his hours of toll
than he now receives.
With this in mind the dele
gates and union officials displayed
no inclination to take up plans
tending to radical action. Did
visiting speakers give utterance
to bombastic phrases, the labor
delegates sat quietly. applauded
the speaker for his effort. and ten
minutes later would inform the
questioner: None Of that fast
stuff for us!'
There is one point which Iowa
union labor men said they
wished to call to the minds of the
reading public Now and then a
speaker addressing union men
offers a talk or address marked
by bitterness, during which CAPT
tai and capitalistic press
comes in for sarcastic comment

Zone is forced to take the word
Of men long within the fold OF

such speakers appeal to a small
but loud minority.
EVERY man is entitled to air
his opinion and the floor Of a
labor meeting is not proper
stage whereupon free speech is
to be repressed,' said Vice Presi-
dent Garfield of the state feder-
alton. Therefore we permit any
man to present his platform, pro-
gram, or opinion. That we en-
dorse his program or follow his

we'll able to set its own course,
capable Of selecting its own lead
ers from within it's own organi-
cation, and carry its own pro-
gram to a successful conclusion,
so long as we give consideration
to the rights of our fellow men,

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
Ii gives law-abiding citizens a great
deal OF satisfaction to notice the
interest being taken by your paper
and the city officials in the enforce
uient OF the regulations for automo-
bfIes.
The law wisely provides that people
who have to CROSS the street on foot
and who have to use the streetcars
may pursue these necessary activ-
ties with safety.
The Gate City and the city officials
get all credit for this activity. A
great many feel, however. that other
fea lures Of the law governing auto
mobile traffic should be enforced;
for example, that forbidding the open
ing or muff1ers and driving in the
city at more than fifteen miles an
hour.
Drivers of delivery trucks are the
greatest offenders in opening
mufflers, though many pleasure cars
violate this Law with inpunity.
Necessary noises should be endured
with patience, but the car with the
muffler out Is not only an unneces-
sary but an unlawful noise. and citi-
Zens have a right to feel outraged
that they have to submit to the wh.ms
of drivers who enjoy making all the
noise possible
This is in appreciation of the good
work already done and plea for
further suppression of unlawful drtv-
ing.

The Case of Martin.

Members Of organized labor who
have followed the proceedings OF the
last convention of the Iowa State
Federation OF Labor, and especially
those who attended in person, take
exception to your editorial of Tues
day In regards to speech having
been made by Ward Martin. This
speech in the first place was not
made in the convention hall, but at
a social gathering arranged by the
Fort Dodge entertainment committee
at the Armory han Of Fort Dodge.
And in the second place Martin was
mfs1uoted, as the following article

lates:

''Of all the heresies, absurdities, intellectual
rnonstrpcities that have fallen from the lips
Of men, says Senator Reed, ''the worst is that
president by mere utterance, by mere word Of
mouth, can bind the people to a policy"
No president of the United States can bind
congress by message, bind the people by a
public utteranc, bind the nation by q pro-
nouncement made at home abroad, or by a
treaty he negotiates, or in any way by any
means impose policy on the United States.
Yet we have president now who assumes this
power, arrogates this authority to himself. He
denounced all league opponents as pro-Gernans.

next presidential candidate. She has
been running the government for
about six years, and il only seems fair
that she be given the Office now.
