TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE THE PRESENT CHANCE. There may be other lives for me, But that I do not know, And other worlds for me to see And other paths to go It may be that I shall come again Upon this earth to dwell. But knowing not what will be then, This life I would live well. It may be souls of men return. Though none can truly say, To win perfection and to learn Life's lessons, day by day. But all I know beyond a doubt Is that my chance to be Of worth is quickly slipping out Toward that mysterious sea. And If perchance some distant day, My soul should come again The devious paths of earth to stray And know the haunts of men, I think that I could face the strife And joys and suffering, too, If I had lived my precious life Up to the best I knew. |3.0# ...10* (sential —Edgar A.

School attendance is a sure indicator of growth or decrease in population of a munici pality, and the fact that the figures compiled by Superintendent Aldrich and submitted to the school board show a substantial increase here in Keokuk is emphatic answer to the band of croakers who have maintained time in and out that our city is going to the demnition bow wows. The influx of new residents following the erection and operation during the pasc months of several industrial plants has had the. effect of raising the score of school attendance, and this /novement will without doubt continue steadily in the future. The fact is that the at tendance at the local schools during the ses sions just closed reached the highest figure in the educational history of Keokuk. With 2,612 pupils, an increase of 83 for the year, enrolled there need be no cause for fear that this city is going down in the scale of either population or mentality. MEXICO, AND AFTER. The present situation and the policy of the administration with regard to Mexico are like ly to develop in such a way as to raise the old question of imperialism. War department offi cials declare that in the event of war with Mexico they expect no more than two or pos sibly three real engagements. But there would still be left the more serious work of policing and pacifying the country south of the Rio Grande. When the country, in the recent past, had be fore it the determination of a policy toward occupied territory "anti-imperialism" was the watchword of a group of active politicians. Along with the development of any program of pacification, intervention or near intervention, the country is likely to see the revival of the anti-imperialism agitation. Protection of thebor der only and hands off of Mexico are not illogi cal companion issues for those who would glad ly have seen the Philippines set adrift. There is a tendency to compare what the United States has accomplished in the Pliilip |ines with what the United States must do for Mexico before a satisfactory status can bo reached below the border. The argument for control by this country of at least a portion of Mexico after the present grave dispute has been setled, either by appeal to arms or mu tual agrement, is that Mexico itself would be! aT1(^ +Vi/v C/)1iAa1 oflQTirloTlnD a II blessed. The hand of Uncle Sam has not rested Mexicans at Carrizal did not jam. heavily on the people it has been his duty to| protect. The achievement in the Philippines by way of education, sanitation and develop ment of natural resources is sufficient to show that Mexico has everything to gain and noth ing to lose if the present difficulties result in the establishment by the United States ment of a benevolent despotism in Mexico with the avowed intention of relinquishing control of all areas occupied as rapidly as Mexican au thorities show that they are capable of taking the job off our hands. Possibly the Philip cine clan mav vet be tried out as between the United States and Mexico. UNION AMERICANISM. Facing a possibility of a war against Mexico, with its necessary call upon the whole coun try's railroad transportation services, freight trainmen are disposed to postpone their own wage war on the railroad companies. If the views of H. A. Enochs, secretary of the Pennsylvania trainmen's brotherhood, can be taken as representative of union views in other states, the men are "for the country first of all" and will forebear pressing what they term their "personal grievances" for the .national good. In the final test the railroad labor organiza tions may show their spirit of patriotism and refrain from throwing the business of the coun try into disorganization while it is face to face with an international complication that has been thrust upon it. Their obligation as re sponsible servants of a national utility should be the ruling factor in their relation to the country and its government. A VISION OF SERVICE. Speaking before the Massachusetts Medical society in Boston, Dr. David L. Edsall of Harv ard university put before his hearers a "noble vision of service for his profession. He fore sees a time when the physician will be in ea- a public servant, devoting himself to the prevention of disease, to hygienic educa tion, to the solution of problems that effect the physical wellbeing of all our people, what ever be the source of these problems. Dr. Ed sall did not say that he looked for a millennium of health as a result, nor for a time to come when the service of physicians to individual pa tients would be unnecessary, but that the whole trend of ambition and hope among the ablest of the young men who are en tering his profession was directed toward a scientific social service which shall in large measure make the old-time round of profes sional visits unnecessary. No profession stands higher in the honor roll of humanitarianism than does that of the physi cian. It has invaded business, public works, war, all departments of life and it has done superb work in making everything that it has touched better for its coming. The medical profession has been assailed for making special ism expensive to the public it has been accused of the clan spirit in the abuse of the best in terests of its patients. But the specialism that it has achieved has given us a knowledge of practical procedure that is immensely valuable, govern specialists give far more of their time today to work for which they receive very moderate pay, or no pay at all, than they give to private practice. And a profession the best thought in which is devoted to making its private profits negligible in comparison with public service that" shall be permanent, puts it self beyond all just accusation of low ideals. According to the annual report of the Car negie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, there has been remarkable progress in the enactment of pension laws for the bene fit of school teachers, eight states recognizing that they cannot lag behind if they would re tain the services of those who heretofore in many cases gave more than they received. Eight out of twelve of the states that have de bated teachers' pensions within the last year or two have acted affirmatively on the proposition. It is regrettable to admit that Iowa law-makers saw no good feature in the pension matter and it was turned down in the legislature. Better luck at the next try, perhaps. In New York some ardent reformers have started a crusade against the "meaningless term 'Fourth of July.' "Independence day" is their favorite term. No donbt it is the fa vorite term of a good many others in the ef fete east. Perhaps it would be more dignified to. use it in place of the other. But to say that "The Fourth of July" is a meaningless term is to say exactly what is not so. Xobody but the people, apparently, can break Thomas Riley Marshall of the vice presidential "habit. Whether Villa is alive or dead his evil spirit goes marching on to mislead the Mexican people.

The Tribune is too harsh. Mr. Ford is just an amiable citizen, who through too much money and too much newspaper notoriety has con ceived the erroneous notion that he is some pumpkins. 1 1 S'® I Marshalltown Times^Republican: The return of the progressives is not to be illustrated by references to the prodigal son. The boys just went away on a trip and are fctttiug bact home. And everybody's glad to see them in their old accustomed places. Mason City Times: We have been [shipping war equipment to the Car ranza government in almost unlimited Quantities. When our boys go Into Mexico they will face bullets made in America. A news note from the bor der states that one El Paso filibuster who is in a position to know, declares that Mexico has bought between two and three times as much ammunition every year as that purchased by the United States army and all Qf It w$s made in the United States. Waterloo Times-Tribune: Now ihat they are informed that Joe Allen 3pent over $18,000 on his primary campaign doubtless there are fallows wondering why they didn't get more it Cedar Rapids Gazette: It will bo noted as the campaign progresses, that candidates whose defeat is al ready declared to be certain, will be the cause of considerable uneasiness on the part of the opponents, "and that some money will be spent to make the certainty a reasonable probability. Sioux City Journal: The Cedar Rapids Republican demands that Clif ford Thome return that seven-passen ger car to the donors. Tut, tut! If the Republican really wants to get even with Mr. Thorne, why not make him retain the car and keep it gasoline on a rising market? Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Looks as though the democrats might find it necessary to meet and revise their platform. »They started out to win a re-election for Wilson on the first premise that he had kept the country out of war. Before they have made the first turn on the first lap of the race the soldiers are beiug assembled to open war on Mexico. Muscatine Journal: Mr. Roosevelt is out of politics, but just the same he seems to be consulted by an awful lot of politicians. Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: It's ten thousand chances to one that all this talk about the Mexican government having the sympathy and expecting assistance from Japan is mere bunk, Let us hope there is jutt as little Qther power if} intere8ted In any manner. Waterloo Courier: A Kansas City young man has been arrested for speeding his automobile while court ing his sweetheart. This is quite a change from the old-fashioned court ship when old'Dobbin was allowed to have the reins and plod along at nla own sweet will. Ottumwa Courier: The sooner Americans get over the idea that one American soldier is good for about three of any other kind and at least five Mexicans, the better it will be for this nation. There is nothing wrong with American soldiers, but the organization is anything but up to requirements. Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: Though he is possessed of a good education and is holding a responsible position, is a "society man" and holds himself a little above -the average of his age is no reason why any young man should feel it not his duty to respond to his country's call. Therq is more reason why he should respond. There is no class which owes greater al legiance than another, whose duty is more pressing than another. Dubuque Times Journal: The easiest thing in the woTld is to get people to sign a petition, judging from a report from Kansas. In one town there over four thousand sign ers were secured in a few days to a petition asking that the "Road to Tip perary," be shortened, said road be ing notoriously long. Marshalltown Times-Republican: After having used the flag of truce to decoy Americans within range once or twice, the Mexicans will learn that they needn't use it and that the Americans wjli come without calling. Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The men who are assembling in all the states in this country In preparation for service in Mexico are in truth mere boys. It was Just such fellows as these that preserved the govern ment under which we live from 1861 to '65. Cedar Rapids Gazette: Victor Murdock Is responsible for the ac cusation that Roosevelt stabbed the progressive party in the back. Let Victor produce the party and its back and show the stab. Such serious charges should be supported by in disputable evidence. Davenport {Times: There has been too much trusting to luck and not enough real preparedness. It is to be hoped that now something will be done. Adams County Union-Republican: Six men in one precinct of Montgom ery county spoiled their ballots in trying to vote against women's suf frage. We wonder if there are six women in that precinct who would have spoiled their ballots, had they had the privilege of voting. Ottumwa Courier: People who ac cuse the "interests" of starting panics, wars and other disasters, should consider for a minute who suf fers the greatest financial losses in 6Uch times. Is it the man with money or the man without? When you have settled that and taken Into consideration that a man's pocket book is his most vulnerable spot, a virj may be opened u* -j?* Voice of the People [The Gate City does not assume responsibility for views expressed by correspondents.] 11 a-Js Keokuk Improvements. To the Editor of The Gate City: The address of A. W. O'Harra of Carthage, to the Keokuk retailers in which be stated the "troutHe was Keokuk men were too contented to wait for someone to build the inter urbans," etc., should awaken the people of Keokuk to a realization for the eleven-h fme that nothing comes to any community unless it moves for it. The railroad men of the country are humane and are willing to be shown, and by constant keeping up the fight for that which we are after, it will eventually come to good. But the question arises, what effort has the, retailers or the power company ever made to electrify the Wabash or the T., P. and W. railway, or the North road. And even then If we have fallen down, should we not re sume our efforts? We have a direct route east from Keokuk, but no one uses the Wabash. There la a mighty good reason. You will ask what It Is. Poor time, inferior accommodations, bad connection, and everything else which makes a trip out of Keokuk disagreeable instead of agreeable. The same applies to the other roads which should and could be electrified. The electricity is here and hundreds of thousands of horse power going to waste twenty-four hours every day. The people in the territory tributory to Keokuk should be routed east out of Keokuk. If a merchant was solicit ing passenger business he certainly would go after this business. Have you ever stopped to think what a great road the Wabash rail way might be in, around and about Keokuk if some effort was made to develop it along proper lines. Think what a ten strike it would have been if the Wabash railway had gotten control of the K. and W. railway to Shenandoah, and from there over its own line to Omaha, the second largest packing center iii America, the lar gest butter market in the world, the second largest grain center In Amer• ica, etc. There connecting with the Union Pacific railway to the coast. Think of it, a line from Omaha to the east, direct to New York City and Washington via Keokuk. And yet these railroad officials sleep on. There is the Rock Island. An expert hired by the bond holders who advised routing all freight and business for Chicago to Eldon, down the Rock Island to Keokuk, thence east over some route to Peoria, and thence on their own line to Chicago. And also avoiding the congested freight yards in Chicago, instead of via Davenport, and making an unnecessary haul of 100 miles. But the railroad man is asleep. It will perhaps come some day, if made plain to the officials. Nauvoo will continue to be asleep, until there is some modern outlet, some way to overcome the Chinese wall which surrounds it. A ferry making several trips daily to and from Keokuk will help some. Perhaps they are contented to remain in "their shell." Think what a goo'l town it would be If there was Ingres and egress by an electric Jine or con veyance of some kind. Hancock county, beautiful, rich, pienty of money, and d^irous of spending it, but no way to break into Keokuk. They can't walk on the water to cross Lake Cooper. The railroad service Is abominable and as a result farmers and people from there must of necessity go to Burling ton and Quincy to shop. Keokuk's trade dragged to towns fifty miles away, which is anxious to come Of ten miles to shop, but no .way to get to town from Carthage, and surround ing towns and country. Labor for a year and get the Wabash electrified. Abandon all street fair schemes to get this. Promise the Wabash a thousand cars of freight in the next few years to get this prom ise them passenger business to Chi cago and New York to get this.. Work Uke everything to get this, and build up your retail trade which Is knocking to enter your iy. But if you sit and say "We can't"—good, you can't. Burlington and Quincy, and "Gear and Doebuck" and other catalog and mail order bouses in Chicago will be satisfied—delighted. Take It up with the higher up railroad officials and give them a reason for carrying out your wish. Promise and give them something in business, and see what the results will be. It's up to you, Mr. Retailer. The Garden of Eden is across the river, but no way for the people to cross the river Mississippi. They can't walk on the water. The destiny of Keokun is not in the hands of outsiders, but in the hands of the people of Keokuk—men, bomen and children. Shall the words of Mr. O'Harra produce results or shall we continue in the same old way. I was also struck by this little clip ping in The Gate City: "The only way to make a city Is to improve it. All improvements cost something, but no city was ever built that did not improve." If you want to see some first class paving in some live towns, go to Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Waterloo, Iowa Falls, Mason City and scores of towns. Where the business and resi dence street* are practically all paved and where they fight for paving. In stead of against paving. Keokuk is woefully behind In paved streets and cement sidewalks. There are miles of old brick sidewalks in Keokuk which should be condemned and sub stantial cement walks laid down. Just as cit'e? are tearing up miles of solid granite, sandstone and cobble pavement and replacing with smooth :,s]haltum and brick. Ti.e banks in Keokuk a»*e bursting with money drawing three percent per annum, but property owners hesitate to add ten to fifty percent to their property by the expenditure of a few dollars In beautifying the property with good sidewalks and streets. In many cities prizes are offered for the best trimmed trees, flowers an' gardens. The bird society is offering prizes for bird houses and cats and dogs are being exterminated, to make room for tie birds. And there will be millions of song birds tkls year, where there were only thousands last year. The towns spoken of are those where the residences are surrounded with beautiful flowers, trees and shrub bery. What are we doing along this line, or are we all "waiting for the other'fellow to do it?" There are miles of brick paving to be done in Keokuk. There are miles of old worn out brick and plank-walks to be condemned and replaced If we want to line up with the progressive Iowa towns. We talk about a "wet and dry town" and go into a frenzy over this. We boast of our natural advantages, clubs and society. But that gets us nowhere. Improvements and keplng In line with the other live towns, many smaller and much less' in population, are way ahead of us in being a beautiful city. Keokuk paid $4,000 for plans for "Keokuk beautiful," but that don't make the town beautiful. It takes work, and the expenditure of money by those owning and renting property, to make a beautiful town. Here Is hoping that before the snow flies Keokuk will have done her share in keeping in line with progressive townB in the north. Do you know automobile tourists give a town a good or bad name according to the condition of the roads which enter and leave the town- A town with good roads has' many, tourists. One with poor roads is avoided. Which class does Keokuk want to be in? Let's not waste so much time in worrying about what the other fellow eats and drinks, and which God he worships as in beautifying the town. If we have, a beautiful town even the booze fighter will enter into the spirit of progress. Give us plenty of work and we shall have our daily bread. And we shall become good citizens, and we shall spend the money. It's no good in the banks Let's not hold onto the dollar so hard. Let's get some good out of it. Here is for the new Keokuk. The rejuvinated Keo kuk the progressive Keokuk the beautiful Keokuk. Are you with us or against us? PROGRESS, THE WATCH WORD. Keokuk, June 22, 1916. BELFAST. The farmers are having a vacation.
