ELECTIONS AND MODERN CONDITIONS.

James T. Clark, in an article
which appears in the January number
of The North American Review, con-
siders the question Of How to Adj
just the Election Laws to Modern Con-
ditions." Mr.. Clark lays emphasis on
the fact that the laws under which
cur elections are held were made to
tit very much simpler conditions than
exist today. They are, therefore, now
a misft: and. instead of securing for
the citizen an opportunity to elect his
representative, they are extremely use
full to the boss in enabling him to put
his personal tools in the places of
power. Mr.. Clark makes suggestion
which, in his judgment, would correct
this evil:
This plan begins by obliterating
the politicians map of election dis
tricts. In a typical city, 1t preserves
the ward boundaries, but mingles all
the voters within those limits without
geographical separation. Assuming
that within such limits as ward
there is some community of acquaint-
ance and interest, it proposes that a
registration of the voters therein shall
be made and groups Of two hundred.
or about that number, selected by lot,
the names of voters being chosen from
the ward register as those of jurors
from panel. These groups, 1t is pro-
posed, chosen thus by lot, should at
once meet and perform the single part
Of choosing representative, not neces-
sarily from their own number, but
from the ward, to meet with other rep
resentatives chosen in the same way
by the other groups of the ward. These
representatives in each ward form a
college Of electors, which has the dou-
BILE function Of naming ward officers,
when met together, and also naming
a representative for the ward to a
higher college composed Of representa-
tives chosen in like manner. This sys-
tenn of compound representation Is
logically extensible according to the
complexity and rising planes of gov
eminent"

M1rRpHY.s CANDIDACY.

BERNARD Murphy in Vinton Eage)
In the article following this the
Cedar Rapids Republican has very
kindly announced our name as cam
didate for the republican nomination
for lieutenant governor. This can
didacy will stand until the primaries
are held next June when il the repub-
lican electors OF the state decide ad-
versely to us the candidacy will be
dropped and the candidate who may
receive higher vote and be declared
the nominee of the party will receive
our most cordial support both person.
ally and thru the columns OF this
newspaper.
Our main excuse In Offering our
name for ratification by our party is
personal desire to attain the honorable
position which designates the office.
We have no better right to offer our
name than has any other republican
in the state. We feel we have as good
a right, hence the announcement
comes in answer to many requests that
have come to us that we allow the use
of our name for that purpose.
AS to our republicanism and party
loyalty 1t Is an open book to the re-
publicans of this state, and especially
to the republicans Of this county. For
the last thirty years we have striven
ito offer good counsel, and we have
stood Loyalty by the platforms enunci-
ated by the several gatherings, both
state and national, of our great party
We believe with President Roosevelt
that protection" spelled with big
"P," is the underlying and accepted
principle of the party. 1t has been,
and is now, the staff Of life to the bus
mess interests OF the country. The
Eagle under our management, has
been persistent and insistent advo-
cate of the national platforms OF 1900
and 1904. 1t can also be truthfully
said that the Eagle has been faithful
supporter Of President Roosevelt
thru his two administrations.
In state political party affairs we
have taken the same interest as have
other active republicans. We have
seen some of the things we have adj
vocated adopted and some rejected, but
we have always accepted the will OF
the majority as expressed by the
party's state convention
If it should be our good fortune to
receive the nomination at the hands
Of our party 1t would be our highest
ambition to lend our aid in maintain

Morgan took the two men back into

Sundance an odd adventure befell him,

first man whom he met in Sundance,
he said:

Walton. Do you know him?"

good many Waltons hereabouts. Which
Walton might you be lookin' for?"
"John Walton" said DR.. Sem.
"There's four John Waltons In Crook
county," said the native.

"All the Waltons keep mighty fine
stock
"This Walton DR.. Sem pursued,

Sage Suggestions as to Lying.
washington, ID. C., Times)

There is not so much objection to
living as there is to a lack Of art in
the telling of lie. 1t is no use to tell
a lie unless you are going to accom-
plish your purpose. Lies can do the
work whether they are discovered or
not. 1t is all in the manner of tell
ing them. In the first place never
tell a lie when the truth will do just
as we'll. This serves to establish your
reputation and gives your lies stand
ing they could not otherwise gain.
Never tell big lie to gain small OBJ
iect nor tell a little lie to gain a
big object. Let all your lies be big
and lusty fellows, and let them have
