NOW THAT IT'S OVER.

Now that the election is over will it
not be we'll for us to sit down briefly
and consider the events of the immedi-
ate past. The campaign now ended has
not been devoid of foolishness and in a
few instances through the state I'M
clean politics has prevailed and civic
morals thereby debased. The usual
campaign exaggerations, verging at
times on the old-fashioned campaign
lies, have too frequently been given
currency and many men have failed at
times to come up to the full measure of
American citizenship because of a
want of moral courage to do and say the
things which they knew to be right
But, while we note these incidents we
must not forget that in these regards
American citizenship is slowly but
surely coming to higher standard, and
there is some promise that before
another generation passes away our
civic life will have reached plane
challenging the admiration Of the world
Remember, though, that it is as yet but
promise and that before it can be
realized there is much to be done, and
every good man, every true man, must
stand boldly forth, work without
ceasing and be fearless always.

Busse Must HANG December ID.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 22.-The state
supreme court this morning denied
Louis Busse, the Butler county muir
derer, writ of habeas corpus. This
means that Busse, after escaping tho
gallows on three previous occasions,
will have to hang Friday, December Ia,
unless his attorneys can devise some
means of delay.
1t has been reported that appeal may
be taken to the United States supreme
court on the constitutional grounds,
but unless such appeal is possible,
Busse is now face to face with death.
The last Legislature refused to inter-
cede in Busse's behalf, declaring that
it had no authority to commute death
sentences, and no hope exists for an APP
peal to the coming legislature.
Governor Cummins has three times
fixed the date for Busse's execution
after the time set by the district court
had expired. The governors recent de-
termined stand in the Joseph Smith
case, who was executed April 20, in
dicates that he will not interfere with
the execution of Busse. Considerable
hope was entertained by Busse and his
friends that he might eventually get a
new trial, owing to the fact that the
supreme court on the first appeal to it
had divided equally on the question.
three justices favoring new trial and
three against. AS result of the SUI
preme court tie the Judgment of the
lower court was affirmed.
Then came the application for re-
hearing, appeal to the legislature, and
habeas corpus proceeding, with another
appeal to the supreme court, which now
atiirms the decision of Judge Thompson
in the Linn county court, who refused
Busse the writ that would have at once
released him from the state peniten-
tiary. Pending all these delays in the
courts, the governor has had to grant
several reprieves to Busse and fix new
dates for his execution. After the last
appeal to the supreme court was taken
the governor set Buses execution for
December IA, with the understanding
that the supreme court would pass on
the appeal before that time. December
ID is accordingly the date for Buses
execution.

NO CIRCLE WANTED.

Let the ballot alone, is the request
the people of Iowa would make of their
next legislature if the wishes of any
great majority were really known. A
man never voted simpler ballot nor
one which responded more quickly to
what he wanted to do with his vote.
1t is needless to say that the absence of
the circle this year came contempt
raneous with a scratching of ballots on
the part of several thousand voters
which was not all to the liking of the
Times-Republican, but the fact remains
that these men could have voted their
ticket straight good deal easier than
to have scratched it as they did, and
the deduction must follow that the
scratched ballot was voted just as they
wanted it voted, which is the highest
mission of any ballot in the hands of
self-governing people.
When we stop to ask ourselves what
an election is for we realize that it is
merely the form we have Of giving ex-
preston to the will of the voters in
the election of their officials. The
ballot which will record the exact wish
of each voter with the greatest accu-
racy is the ideal ballot to use. The
honest opinion of free voter is Away
a greater safeguard to good government
than the halter or lead string design
solely for party regularity.
If there is anything in manhood suff-
rage, the man to man kind of ballot
is the thing.
1t is true that mechanically it will be
easier to make one cross in a circle to
vote an entire ticket than to make forty
crosses in front OF the names of forty
candidates, but the vote of the mar
who has not the intelligence to marx
his whole ticket, if lost, will not be
missed, and the votes of those too feeble
for the whole process are too few to be
considered. All combined fade to the
vanishing point when compared to the
disciplinary effect upon the party which
makes the nominations of the unhalter
ed ballot in the hands Of men who know
their own minds. The state-wid,
primary must come, and the ballo
without the circle is of the same kind
Let it alone. 1t comes nearest to man
hood suffrage as it is Marshalltowl

ELECTED DEAD MAN TO OFFICE

Clark county republicans need never
again charge the democrats with still
voting for Andrew Jackson, for they
elected dead man to Office at the last
election. G. M. Stacy, of Fremont
township, died last September shortly
after being nominated by the standpat
element of the g. O. p. for Justice of the
peace. He was member of the we'll
known Stacy family, so long in politics
in Clarke county, and had funeral
attended by many friends and neigh
bors.
The county clerk was notified of the
death officially when the settlement of
the estate was taken up, but the audi
tor was not notified and seeing the
name Of Stacy among his papers put it
upon the official ballot as has been the
custom whenever the name of Stacy
has been found for the past thirty
years.
No one supposed that votes would be
cast for Stacy when the time came to
vote, for all the countryside knew he
was dead and sleeping the sleep of the
just, but force Of habit was to much for
the mossba cked republicans and as
they have done for years they voted for
Stacy as soon as they saw the name
Stacy won the election by vote of 6;
to 81 for Zepp. The vote for Secretary
of State in the same township was
republicans 93 and democrats 30
showing that the democrats stood by
Zepp all right.
AS a result Fremont township will
have but one justice of peace for the
next two years. Stacy while elected
will be unable to serve.
This case is the best illustration fo
years of the fact that the average hide
bound Republican is not governed b,
reason or judgment when he casts hi
vote, but votes by habit like machin
or at the command Of the party boss
Osceola Democrat.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1906-11-29

1t is rather amusing to note how
many of the republican papers of Iowa
are bowling to have the circle restored
on the ballot. But their bowling is
caused simply because the removal of
the circle gave the voters an opportun-
ity to vote their sentiments and elect
the men whom they desired to represent
them: in office. The circle on the ballot
was designed solely to compel large
Number of the voters of the state to
vote straight republican ticket. With
the circle removed the voter can vote
for the man he wants in Office without
fear of spelling his ballot. 1t is report
ed that bill will be introduced in the
coming session of the legislature to re-
stare the circle, but the people will not
stand for any such work. They de-
,aalded that the circle be removed and
are well satisfied with the manner of
voting at the recent election, even if it
did not please few politicians.

May Use Front Side of Postal Cards
After March LIST.

Postal cards bearing written mes
sages on the front side will be admitted
to the mails of the United States after
March l., 1907. By the action of the
Universal Postal convention recently
concluded in Rome, this has been made
possible. By this action cards will be
received from either domestic or
foreign mail which bear writing other
than the address on the front side.
In the older days when a postal card
was postal card that is when the front
was reserved for the address and the
back for the message to be written,
such thing was not nessary, because
any one desiring to send short mes
sage would find plenty of space on the
back of the card to contain it.
But those days are past. Today the
entire back of the card is occupied by
very beautiful view of dilapidated
castle or some still more dilapidated
noble family, if the card comes from a
foreign country; or by the photograph
er of the county court house or most
artistic picture of a lobster and the.
delicate hint of the similarity existing
between the object represented and the
person to whom the card is sent, if the
card be American. Of course there are
legion of other subjects presented on
the modern post card, but these are
typical. 1t becomes evident that there
is no room left for the message if one is
so odd as to use the post card for the
purpose of sending a message. There
fore the Universal convention has taken
the action above outlined.
| The Postal Bulletin of November ] !,
contains order No. 1888 which reads as
| follows:
"The Universal Postal convention
recently concluded at Rome, provides
for the admission to the mails exchang-
ed between the countries of the Postal
Union, on and after March 1, 1907 of
post cards bearing written messages
upon the left half of the front of the
cards. Such cards are now admitted
at postage rate applicable to post cards,
both to the domestic mail of principal
countries of the Union and to the mail
exchanged between them.
therefore, from the date of this Or
der, post cards conforming to the pro-
visions of the Rome convention when
mailed in foreign countries and fully
prepaid by postage stamps, shall be de-
livered to any address in the United
States without additional charge for
postage. On and after March 1, 1907
such card bearing written messages
upon the left half Of the front of the
card, the right half being reserved for
the address and post mark shall be adj
mitted to both the domestic and inter-
national mails of this country and
treated as post cards"
