IT WAS THE GOVERNOR.
darlington News.1


The present agitation of the nomin-
alton of Ex-Governor Larrabee, of this
county, for governor brings to mind a
little episode that happened in the
office of the Anamosa Eureka when
the editor of the News was foreman
of that paper. 1t was when Larrabee
was governor and when the law re-
quired that he or his representative
should visit the state institutions. The
penitentiary was then as now located
at Anamosa and Larrabee was not
well known by Editor Booth, of the
Eureka.
1t was the custom Of the Eureka
office that when an unsophisticated
and unimportant parsonage came in
the foreman should attend to his
wants. One day in the hot summer
Editor Booth, who was man weigh
ing something like $40 pounds, sat tilt
ed back in his office chair with his
slippered feet up on his desk, when
stranger walked in with a SLOUGH wool
hat on and very ordinary suit of
clothes, and who looked everything
more than he did the governor OF
Iowa. He walked up to the editors

The papers are these times having
considerable to say about the presiden-
tial candidacy of this, that and the
other man. and even alleged details or
the candidates are gone into to de-
gree that indicates a. certain amount OF
fake" business in such business.
1t is a long time until the next re-
publican candidate is to be nominated
and it is much too early for Shaw,
Dolliver, Cummins Fairbanks or any
other man to be coming out as cam
didate. Perhaps all this may be news

little truth on which to base SO much

little rest from politics in the mean

WOMEN AT SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
Waterloo Reporter.[
Ever since the law extending the
suffrage to women has been on the
statute books a limited number have
exercised the privilege, but the cleo
ton at Atlantic is the first where it
has been raised into direct issue.
Women have voted many times in Wa
terloo, and have quite generally been
in favor of the several propositions
under consideration, but proposition
was never carried by their votes alone.
| On account of the question of legality
being involved their votes have always
been cast and counted separately
from those of recognized legality, and
it is presumable that such was the
case at Atlantic, for the report Of the
result is specific as to the total num-
| Der of women who voted and the num-
Der who voted against the proposition.
If there is an actual question about
i the right the Atlantic affair will sup
ply an issue to make the test of con-
stitutionality, which should be deter
mined without further allegiance. If
the privilege of voting accorded tc
women is simply an empty formality
the few who have INDUCED in it will
hardly care to further delude them
selves with the idea that they are do
ing something.

TRIBUTE 10
 WASHINGTON

The Whitehorse Star paid the fol- lowing beautiful tribute to Washing ton on the birthday of the father of his country:
 "In civil as we'll as in military life George Washington was preeminently the man of bis day. Of all great men in history he was the most iudieious. He had convictions and the curage to back them. A man of high regard for morality, gentleman and man Of honor, he carried all Ofthese eharacte:- istics into public life.
 George Washington believed that taxation without representation Is ty- ranny and to throw of the yoke Of op- presssion he offered his services to his country and in the end the glorious principle of which he was the unfalter- ing champion, prevailed, and on the foundation laid by him was founded that which has grown into the greatest republic the world has ever known.
 Today wherever old Glory floats the name and history of George Washing ton will be honored and revered. In every state aud territory in the union, except Mississippi, today, Washington's birthday is statutory holiday and in every state and territory, includii g Mississippi, the day is observed by the schools as holiday. It is of comPara- lively recent years that the day has been so generally observed, but time, instead of diminishing, only serves to add 10 the luster-that halo of glory which, not only with Americans, but with all lovers of true greatness where ever found, surrounds the name and memory of George Washington.
