LEGISLATIVE VACANCIES.

Des Moines Capitalize governor
has issued a proclamation for an cleo .
ton in O'Brien county to fill the va
cancy alleged to have been created by
the removal of Mr.. Whitmer from,
Primgaar to Sioux City. The county
auditor has certified to the fact of th4
removal but Mr.. Whitmer himself de-
MES it. alleging that he has gone 10
Sioux City temporarily in which case
he would not lose the Office. Thus
there is a square issue between Mr..
Whitmer and the county auditor as to
what are the formers Intentions. The
auditor says he has gone expecting TO
stay, Mr.. Whitmer says not. The issue
depends on the facts as they appear
and not on the say-so of either one.
Ultimately the house OF representa-
t.ves must judge whether there Is !,
vacancy o.: not. The question of resi- :
denco is often difficult one in these
times when SO many railroad men and
others in like callings are SO much on
the move Tne determining question
is one of intent but it is judged from,
the persons conduct rather than his
assertions. The same point has been
raised informally against Mr. English
of Polk county, but the auditor has
not taken action against him.
1t is well established that men may
hold office in the departments Mt
Washington for a life time and yet
keep their residence and voting rights
at their old homes. Numerous cases
have occurred where men have been
absent in Washington over forty years
cid yet retained a legal residence and
right to vote at their former homes.
But this is so because they are en-
ployed in government duty in Wash
ington and could not acquire resi-
oence and voting right there.

SCHOOL AND IhE MAN.

The disgraceful class fight that took
place in Iowa City yesterday and in
which two young men were injured
seriously and several others received
minor injuries, is one of the most de-
plorable incidents for which the Iowa
State University has to answer. Iowa
has a splendid state school. Its fac
ulty is all that could be desired and
its success as an educational institu-
ton entities it to the whole souled
support Of the state at large. But
the students who engage in senseless
class scraps" deserve nothing but
the most severe punishment as law
breakers. They should be shown no
favoritism but rather should be pun
ished to serve as examples and a
warning to others who are in school
or will be there IN the future.
Young men go to college to prepare
themselves for business or profession
al life. A goodly proportion of them
have had some practical contact with
the business world before they go to
college, having worked for time in
order to secure the money with which
to pay for their educational course
1t should ,be their object to learn how
to be men as well as how to be schol-
ars. They become members Of the
under graduate body and as a matter
of course members of their respective
classes. A few days after the open
ing of the school year they learn that
there is class scrap" on the taps.
To their inquiries as to the reason
they are answered that there is no
reason particularly except that the
"sophs" think they can whip the
'freshies" and that every loyal
''freshie" must turn out to show the
second year men that they can't run
a bluff" The freshman generally
turns out for he knows enough of
school life to realize that If he should
fail to hold up his part of class
scrap" he would be doomed to un-
popularity throughout his entire COL
lege life. He goes in and fights. May
be he is injured, may be he loses moth
ing more than the price of a suit Of
clothes. At any rate he fights, per-
haps all day, and energies from the
fray, battered, bruised, unkempt and
possibly seriously injured.
Yesterday at Iowa City freshman
and sophomore were rendered un.
conscious, one being struck with a
stone and the other kicked in the
head.
The natural question is, what is
to be gained by class fight?' If it
were party, reception of the new
students y the second year men,
there would be many obvious and
good arguments in favor of the plan.
But it is only struggle of Drawn,
trial Of physical strength in which sew
eral contestants on both sides must

SYMPATHY FOR koMURA.

Kansas City Journal.-There is an
almost pathetic element in the present
position of the Japanese ENJOYS who
are now in New York preparing to sail
for home October 2. Baron Komura
stricken with typhoid fever in for
eign land and with the prospect of
being mobbed upon his arrival in
Japan, has indeed a dismal outlook.
OF the two great peace plenipoten-
tiaries-Witte and Komura-the lat
ter is probably the more popular in
the United States He has conducted
his important mission with reserve
and dignity that at times was lacking
in the department Of the big Russian.
White become hysterical at the con-
clusion of the long negotiations and
boosted and clustered in way that
offended justice-loving Americans. His
attitude towards his adversary was
not that of a brave man for coura-
geous foe. But no one can accuse
Baron Komura Of having exhibited any
yellow streak" or of not being a
game" loser.
A heavy responsibility was placed
upon the shoulders Of this little Japan
csc gentleman by his sovereign, but
his country seems anything but
OF his associates said a few days ago
that they expected to be greeted by q
mob when they reached Japan and
that their lives had been threatened
But Baron Komura insists from his
sick bed that he will return on sched-
ule time and make a report to the
Japanese diet. Possibly by that time
the feeling against him will have sub
sided SO that demonstration may be
avoided. This is the hope of the
American people, who have only re-
spect and admiration for Baron
Komura and his associates.

less OF all those connected with col
lege life, which at best has many fea-
lures that could be bettered.
The business man of middle age,
looking back upon his college days,
cannot restrain blush Of shame when
he remembers what a complete young
cad he was on many an occasion.
He can see with sensible eyes the
senseless features of his school life
aud nothing stands out Sc plain in
that category as the inter-class
scraps" in which he took part. 1t is
time these disgraceful fights were
stepped. Iowa has originated many
good ideas in the past and has taken
the leadership in several campaigns
for progress. But there could be nc
better more practical, wiser Iowa
idea than enc which would have for
its aim the ending of college scraps.

students are accountable. They should

they are still but COLLEGE men," and

No expecting something to happen;
No looking; fer something to turn up.
No, sir!
He coils the turn

And doesn't care
If he starts o little sweat
He doesn't need big

To tell him to move on;
He keeps the procession humping

He's hustle from his feet

He's not only in the Push,

TIE NOTING MACHINE.

Ottumwa has had an experience
with the voting machine and has
learned two facts:
First-The voting machine. if it
works as it should. solves the problem
OF the election because it gives the
count within few minutes after the
polls close.
Second-Unless the voting machine
is perfected and does the work for
which it is intended. it had better be
done away with entirely.
Given these two propositions. the
obvious conclusion is that Ottumwa
wants voting machine that is per-
feet. In other words, she wants no
experiments.
The city has purchased voting ma
chimes on trial and has used them
one election Most Of them proved to be
practical, although one broke down
and some of the votes were not reg
istered in the ward where it was in
use. But none of the machines regis
tered the votes as they should have
been registered for rapid counting and
consequently it was late at night be
fore the last count was in. In BRIEF,
the machine failed to do that for
which it was built.
The company manufacturing the
machines was given until October /,
1925. to perfect its machine, but a
few days ago the city council grant,
ed an extension of the time until June
1. 1906, when the representatives OF
the concern stated that they have the
improvements under way but cannot
finish them before next June. II the
repairs are completed by June 1, 1906.
there will be plenty of time before
election for the voters to become
thoroughly acquainted with the ma
chine and it's method of recording
votes.
However, If the company desires a
further extension after June /, it Is
questionable whether such time should
be granted, looking at the matter
purely from business standpoint and
the city's standpoint. If the machine
is not in good order by June l, 1905,
there is reason to doubt the ability
of the company to make it perfect
The city's contract specifies that the
machine must be satisfactory and Il
it is not so on June 1, the, city's obi
CATION to the company will cease. But
the city wants voting machines and
must have time, after June l. to pur.
chase really practical machine and
give the voters an opportunity to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with it.
Cities in the east have voting ma
chimes that are practical and do the
work for which they are intended. It
is, then, possible for Ottumwa to pro-
cure a perfect machine. If the ones
now here can be made perfect they
should be kept and used, but If they
cannot be made satisfactory by June
the city council should make ar
rangements to secure a practical vot
ing machine, one which Is already
perfected and will not be in any an
experiment.

SENSATION AND A GIRL.

Either the CORRESPONDENTS who are
accompanying the Taft party are uu-
usually prone to sensationalism, or
have fallen under the influenced some
of the seductive draughts for which the
orient is noted, or some OF the mem
bers of the party are trying themselves
to see how odd they can be. The story
of the proposal of marriage Miss Alice
Roosevelt is said to have received
from the sultan of Sulu is one instance,
the story of the girls plunge into
swimming tank without changing her
linen dress for more suitable bathing
costume is another. Then there have
been others less sensational in tone,
but altogether they reflect upon the
members of the party and principally
upon Miss Roosevelt because she is the
principal figure, not even excepting
Secretary Taft, in the whole party.
1t is regrettable that such sensation
altsm is INDUCED in with respect to
Miss Roosevelt Those who know her
personally and intimately declare that
she is just an ordinary American girl,
whole souled, fun loving and full of
life. Perhaps she has little more of
the strenuous personality Of her father
than is usual with girls, but that she
is not one who seeks prominence nor
courts sensationalism is the statement
upon which all her friends and &C
quaintances agree. On an ocean voy-
age there is always feeling of uncon-
ventionalism and in the Taft party,
making the voyage to the Philippines,
this would no doubt be marked. Then,
too, the really important events on the
trip were so few that correspondents
have no doubt found it hard to send
interesting news to their papers with
out using the smaller and more per-
sonal items of news. 1t had been much
better if such had been blue penciled.
No one wants to believe that Miss
Alice is spoiled, "grandstand playing"
girl because her best friends declare
that she is not. but when such reports
as those sent out by the correspondents
with the Taft party are circulated all
over the country the effect is bad.

BILLIONS IN 1T.

Chicago Inter Ocean.-The govern
ment reports show that, so far, the
wheat crop is 100000 bushels. and
the oat and barley crops 100000
bushels each, behind the estimate
made on August L.
These slight deficiencies are more
than made up by the corn crop, which
is likely to be 31,O00,000 bushels more
than was estimated on August 1.
Already 1t is certain that the wheat
crop will be above the average. and
the yield Of oats the second largest on
record. But the wealth now maturing
In Americas corn Is almost beyond
comprehension.
The corn crop is expected to be not
less than 25,000,000 bushels. or 1884,
100000 bushels more than the big crop
of last year.
If anyone has fretted little over
the weather of the last few days he
may be consoled that such warmth
is worth bout s41,0a0,000 a day to the
country in maturing the corn crop.
The value of the yield of corn this
year may be judged by few compari-
sons:
At an average of so cents bushel
and corn is well above that price in
the Chicago market-the corn crop
will be worth $1,312,500,OOO. On Sep
TENDER l our national debt, including
all outstanding greenbacks. was $1.2S3.-
121,939.
So with our corn crop we could
pay off the entire national debt, and
redeem every greenback in gold, and
still have nearly $30,000,00) left to
celebrate the feat
We could, from our corn crop alone
and II there We're any reason for SO
doing, give every man, woman and
child Of the s0,OO0,OoO people in this
nation, over SIG each to buy a Thanks
giving dinner.
We could with our corn crop pay
off every bond and redeem every share
of the United States Steel corporation
make the shareholders forget that
dividends We're ever passed and have
over s4oO,ooo,ooo left for the relief of
other trusts.
We could with our corn crop pay
the heirs of every Equitable policy
holder the face Of his policy WITH out
waiting for him to die and without
touching the conpany's assets at ALL
We could play all sorts Of tricks
with our corn crop, SO enormous and
SO valuable is 1t. And yet this Is only
one of our crops.
When we consider 1t and the others
we may well rejoice and thank God
for our goodly heritage.

with an eye to the greatest good for
the same amount of money, wouldn't
1t be advisable to take the money that
could be given as an appropriation for
the state fair and divide it between the
state university and the Ames college?
Primarily the object of the state fair
is to promote agricultural interests and
interest in agricultural affairs in Iowa.
The fair this years was great success
in this particular and can be one with
out the appropriation of more money
than has been devoted to this purpose.
The fair association is in good financial
condition and is patronized well. Can
not the money be used in the schools
better than as an aid for the fair,
which is in better condition now than
ever before to care for itself?
