Beauty of premises, neatness and general

And there is way to make Keokuk sPotless
town. 1t is so simple and so easy, if-each per-
son will do his or her part faithfully The mu-
nicipal authorities, too can help it along. Let
them set the example. Let them remind the de-
relict citizen Of his dereliction. There are sew
eral locations throughout the city that are under
control of local government officials that are
not JOY to the beholder, and now that spring
is near the annual seasonal clean up, heretofore
sadly neglected, should be compelling thought
in mind.

EMPRESS WILSON.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: In France
they are beginning to believe that
the United States is under the thumb
of a woman, if the opinion OF the
Paris Midi is to be accepted at face
value. The Midi has printed an
article under the heading. THE
American Empress in which the
writer asserts that not only does
Mrs. Wilson, wife of Woodrow, offer
appointments to prospective ofhce-
holders, but she. instead Of her nus
band, is the intermediary between
her husband and diplomats OF foreign
nations.
The Midi article says Mrs. Wilson
offered John Barton Payne the chair
nanship of the shipping board at the
same moment in which she handed
him cup of tea, but. less graceful
is the fact that European Rmbassa-
do1s can communicate with the presi-
dent only via Mrs. Wilson" con-
tinues the French newspaper. This
is the misadventure that happened
to NJ. ,Jusserand."
The situation is not AS funny as It
would seem, because Of the fact that
it is more or less aptly pictured.
autocrst as her illustrious husband
none can doubt who looks at her
countenance and observes her de-
Meanor with the analysis OF q
psychologist. That she enjoys her
position has been admitted since first
she entered the white house as its
mistress. And that she makes the
most of it at every turn is "a we'll
known fact However. it may cause
something more than q sly grin when
it is charged that an empress is con-
Quoting the affairs of state at one
end of Pennsylvania avenue.

Earning Respect.

Milwaukee Journal: The respect OF
ones fellow men is more to be de-
sired than wealth. 1t is something
all men desire, but not all men So
cure. Generally men fail to win re-
spect because they do not make 1t
their first ambition. They put some
thing else above it. Respect is, not
flattery because flattery has a mo
tive behind it, and, besides, is super
ficial. Nor is it popularity, for popu
larity is frothy and ,unsubstantial.
Respect is the sincere regard that
arises out Of personal worth. 1t may
be long in coming, but it wears we'll
1t is in reality LIES achievement.
You can't expect anyone to respect
you unless you respect yourself. That
does not mean sounding your ow'
praises, but Just the consciousnc
that you have of being square vii
yourself, of having brought yoursel
out right. Respect is something In
which no man has a vested right. It
has to be earned. 1t can attach to
organizations as well as to individu-
ais. 1t can be gained or forfeited.
but it is not negotiable. And yet 1t
is the greatest asset OF a business
man or corporation. What makes it
the great prize OF life is that once it
is gained all other things are added
unto it

WHO PAYS THE BILL

Kendall County, H., Democrat:
Moss" Enright, the labor killer,
whose murder is attracting attention
in Chicago. was himself killer in
the accepted meaning of the term
He committed his first murder in
1911 and was convicted. He was par.
doned by Governor Dunno. who was
convinced that Enright was not
guilty, by an immense petition OF
Chicago labor men who asked for his
release Since that time Enright has
been kown among the Chicago police
as a dangerous man. His death
brought out the fact that he had re-
Gently bought $4,000 home, paying
cash; was the owner OF fine auto
mobile, and was generally affluent,
although he had no visible means
Of support" The question naturally
arises, who pays the bill? The
answer is obvious: The labor unions
Of the city OF Chicago have paid the
price. This statement is not re.
Election on the honest labor unionist
who works at his trade, lives a quiet
life, and generally tends to his own
business But this is the man who
is paying for this carnival of crime
among those higher up. Where the
blame is to be placed is in the fact
that the labor unionist has implicit
trust in his men higher up. But these
officials debauch the meaning OF
trade unionism. They use the money
paid in dues for forcing their de-
mands. They employ these Killers
it is said the pay is $4,000 per kill
Thus they rid themselves OF unpleas-
ant opponents and keep the people
of the city in deadly fear.
1t is the time for an awakening
among labor men. 1t is opportune
that they investigate the men who
are the officers and learn their true
status When this is done there will
he a revolutionary movement among
the labor Unions and officers will be
elected who will use their power for
the good OF the iaburiug man and not
for personal advancement in political
and financial channels. The union
is not a political organization, but it
is being used for this purpose byeun-
scrupulous leaders. The price is too
high, and the employment OF such
men as Enright should be stopped.

There are vast numbers OF men
and women who, Immediately upon
arising in the morning, drink glass
of hot water with a, tablespoonful of
limestone phosphate i'm it. This is a
very excellent health measure. 1t is
intended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and intestines Of the pre-
vious days. waste, sour bile and in
.digestble material left over in the
body which,, il not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood, causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery,
sleeplessness, impure blood and all
sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right. are urged to
obtain quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.

erieklayino at s. 4 Day.

Minneapolis Journal: The brick
layers of Iowa in convention at Sioux
City recently voted unanimously to
make the minimum wage scale 50 a
day. This does not, however, pre-
vent individual unions from asking
"all that the traffic will bear
The convention then took stand
against the other fellows profiteering
by passing resolution calling on con-
gress to limit the gross profits of
wholesalers and retailers"
A gentle humorist, in speaking of
death, remarked that as a rule we did
not SO much mind being dead but that
lit was this dying that killed u.s." To
parody this philosophic observation. it
might be said we do not so much
mind our own proflteering. 1t is the
other fellows greed that pinches US.
IL there only were some way of get
ting a little more than is fair our
selves, and then of shutting of the
other fellows chances of getting that
little more, how happy we might be.
But after all, is 50 day for placing
one brick upon or beside another
brick properly, an unfair wage? The
bricklayer with wife and five chill

and aged grandfather in the family,
will hardly find himself in. the oriental
rug class.

WITHIN THE LAW?

Morris Hillquit, one of the mouthpieces OF the
socialist party, declares that the socialists have
no intent to achieve their program of revolution
except by seeking Legislation and changes under
the law by remaking the law. That is all very
well But he goes farther by declaring that if
the capitalistic minority resorted to retaliatory
tactics, it might come to shooting This was
All unnecessary, inexpedient and provocative
declaration; it is the sort Of thing socialists are
prone to say, thereby undoing whatever good
their fair speeches in prelude may have accomp-
lished. -..
But more significant than this bravado of re-
taliaton over purely fanciful condition of af-
fairs is Mr.. Hillquits declaration that he would
like to see Eugene Debs elected president. Mr..
Debs has been convicted of breaking the law of
the land, and is now paying the legal penalty.
His present address is, Federal Penitentiary,
Atlanta Georgia. He himself testified that he
had broken the law and stood without equivoca-
ton for the fact that as long as the law remains
as it is, he is potential law breaker. How does
Mr.. Hillquit's declaration for Mr.. Debs' candi-
dacy accord with his earlier statement that So
cialists propose to proceed within the law7 Is
support of man for chief magistrate who is
an openly declared enemy of the law keeping
within the law9 1t may be cleverly argued that
it is within the letter of the law, but it cannot be
successfully argued that it is not defiance of
the spirit Of the law

PLANETS AND PUDDLEs.

The thoughts of men have widened with the
passing of the suns, sure enough. The tnoughts
of Americans have widened with the passing
of the war Once upon time, Europe was a
distant country and the far east an nndlscover-
ed land But today we know almost every part
of the globe we live in and our agile minds are
busy specializing about the planets around us
and the ether of space between.
One man is busy inyenting multiple cyliIl-
jdered rocket to shoot to the moon and possibly
Icome back with cargo of green cheese.
Another man offers to pilot a yet-to-be- IN
vented aerial bullet which is to traverse the
lmere fifty million miles between MS and Mars.
Sir Oliver Lodge asks us to put our trust In
ghosts, play upon ouija boards and, In snort,
- unscrew the inscrutable.'
And on the whole it is good thing
It is better to look at planets than at puddles.
The great benefcient PHILOSOPHERS of mankind
we're born in out-of-doors lands where shep-
herds by night had the leisure to study the
starry heavens and mediate upon ultra mum
dane things. They, without camera or tele-
Iscope, discovered the sweet cluster of Pleiades
and unused upon Him who was great enough 10
bind these stars together.
Our world today is full Of puddles. No mat
ter how carefully we step, we are doomed to be
splattered by someone s carelessness or indiffer-
ence or willful meanness. Muck is everywhere.
How good then to lift eyes to the heavens and
breathe in the deep refreshment that abounds
in the vast spaces about US. The times are
enough out of joint as it is Shall our souls be
filled with the pessimism of the puddle gazer,
or the faith Of one who knows how to look from
time to time at the tranquil stars?
One lesson from the stars is especially peril
nent today: 1.-THE stars in their courses are
free. that in their liberty their joy is to obey
the law
