IGNORANCE SHOULD NOT VOTE

Ignorance should not vote, whether
it is in Massachusetts or Mississippi.
1t is doubtful, therefore, if the repre-
sentation Of the southern states can be
reduced without applying the same
measures to all other states. 1t is
doubtful that any satisfactory way of
changing the representation can be
found without changing the basis of
representation altogether. If the rep
resentation in congress was based on
the number of citizens who voted or
were entitled to vote at the last pre-
ceding presidential or congressional
election, then any state that disfran--
chished it's citizens would necessarily
cut down it's representation. If this
were coupled with an educational
qualification for voting throughout the
country then the representation to
congress would be in proportion to the
number of intelligent citizens of the
state. That would solve the question,
not only for the south, but for all sec

tions Any state that neglected the
education of its citizens would reduce
the number of its voters and cut down
its representation in the national gov
eminent This is as it should be. A
state that neglects the education of it's
citizens should not exercise so much
influence in the law making institu-
lions of the country as the state that
educates it's citizens and raises the
social standard of its people. Poverty
and ignorance should lessen the polit-
ical power of the state. If an educa-
tional test were general in all the
states, and representation in congress
were based on the number of qualified
voters, the standard of political repre-
sentation would be raised throughout
the country, and the state that does
the best for it's people would have the
greatest proportionate influence in the
government.-From Suffrage and rep
resentation," in Gunton's Magazine for
August.

THE CROP BULLETIN.
Department of Agriculture Issues Re.
port for Last Week.

PSie wi -dSt WYNN
The Iowa section of the climate and
crop service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has issued its
bulletin for the week ending July II,
and the report shows progress in Iowa
crops. The bulletin is as follows:
''In the larger part of the state ideal
weather conditions prevailed for
harvesting hay and grain, and fine pro-
gress has been made during the week.
The greater part of very heavy hay
crop of fine quality has been secured
and most of it without damage by
rainfall. In the southern districts the
harvest is practically completed, and
threshing is in progress. In the north
ern districts the work is well ad-
vanced, with varying reports as to the
bulk and quality of the small grain
crops. The corn crop has made sub
stantial gains in all districts, though
in many localities in the southern and
eastern counties copious showers
would be beneficial as the more ad-
vanced portion has reached the caring
stage.

The local association accepted the in
vitation to attend the old soldiers and
settlers reunion at Blakesburg August
81 and %. ..,,s
Owing to the fact that there were
but few manufacturers present at the
meeting last evening it was decided to
mail each local manufacturer letter
explanatory of the privileges the
space, the approximate cost and the
requirements for an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. Secretary Mitchell was
authorized to do this and to endeavor
to get more establishments interested
in this project. The officers of the as
ISOLATION believe that when the several
manufacturers have been advised that
heat, light, power and drainage will be
provided free of charge at the exposi-
ton, more interest in the matter will
be manifested. Free freight one way
will also be allowed the exhibitors.
Many establishments contemplate
exhibiting their products at the exposi-
ton, but the only firm that has def
nitely decided to do this is the Dain
Manufacturing Co. Among the manu-
facturers with representatives present
last evening at the meeting. that con-
template an exhibit at st. Louis are:
