conducting ballot box of it's own ant
from the reports sent out from its
office is getting out the vote" In q
style that would commend itself to the
! best of campaign managers. The ques-
tions are on the speakership election
and policy and are submitted in the
following form:
do you believe that Joseph G.
Cannon. of Illinois, should be e-elected
speaker of the house of representa-
tives?
2---Do you believe that the Rules of
the House" should place in the hands
Of the speaker the power of determin-
ing the membership of the house COM
mittees?
3--Would you favor the plan of plac-
ing the power of appointing the COM
mittees in the hands of q. special COM
mittee elected by the members and
representing all sections Of the coun-
try?
4awould you favor the plan of alav-
ing at least one Calendar Day" in each
week, on which bills could be brought
up and passed upon without securing
the previous consent of the speaker?
Here are two days votes on the
questions as submitted:
To questions mailed to subscribers
on Feb. 10 and answers received by
Feb. "a show 40 in favor OF Cannon's
recollection and 1,041 against. Only
twenty-four of the number appealed to
failed to vote. On the second PROPOSE
ton Is voted Eyes" and 1,058 mo"

question the ayes were 1858; noes, 20
and ten. persons failed to vote. Ten
voted against a calendar day." 1,O72
for it and twenty three neglected to
vote.
1t ran thus: Against Cannon, 1850, for
Cannon, 100, not voting. fifty three.
Against the second question, 2,411, for
81, not voting, thirty-seven. For the
third question, 2,45s. against 50. not
voting, forty-seven. In favor Of the
last proposition 2,455, against. 2e. not
voting, forty-seven.
The. Success magazine and Its pri-
yate ballot box will not defeat Cannon
or recognize the rules of congress
which as they are make the speaker an
autocrat But they will set the constit-
uents of many congressman thinking
The vote is so decisive as 1t is reported
by the magazine, its list of voters are

/. BOYS, CLUB

Sanctioned by the school board and
Inspired by well-meaning people, q
movement to organize at Mason City, a
club TOR boys is meeting with opposi-
ton ON the part of some of the moth
ers. The aim of the promoters is to
provide a substitute for the street cor
ner and the pool hall, and to afford q
place of recreation and a rendezvous
for congenial spirits. Innocent games
and good reading are to be the attract
i've features. The mothers protest that
they are already too many attractions
to take the lads yet in their teens away
from the family circle during even,
ings.
Who is right? It depends somewhat
on the manner of conducting the clubs.

companionship of others of their own
age. 1t is going counter to human ma
ture to deprive them of such compan-

be helpful, and interference in the
children's choice is some times neces-
sary. But contact with others is an inn
portant factor in the proper develop

The spirit to ''be on the go" all the
time does become an evil and menace
to the nerves. 1t is probable. however.
that the Mason City mothers who are
protesting are the ones who have the
least reason for protest. They have
shown that their first duty and their
greatest pleasure are in the mental and
moral development of their children.
Boys fortunate in the possession of
such mothers seldom go astray and for
these the club is not needed. But save
us from the Sissy boy" who is tied
by force to his mothers apron strings
until he Is grown up" Club life would
be of benefit to such as he.

Looker-On In Iona

Gladbrook, March 2.-One of the no.
ticeable things in Iowa. is the change

is nearly as welq enforced there as in
Grinnell or Eldora, both strong prohi-
Elton towns. So here In this town.
Perhaps as much beer is drunk as
years ago. perhaps few are total alb
stainers, and see no harm in glass OF
beer, but Gladbrook by large ma
jority of the better class Of citizens
does, not want the open saloon. Hav-
ing big trade they see no force In
the argument that an open saloon
draws trade to a town. They are
prosperous. have a law-abidtng COM
nlunity, why change things?
A blacksmith shop, where the floor
Is swept and kept as clean as grocery
store, where everything Is picked up
and place for everything. and every
thing In Its place, where the building Is
as warm and comfortable as a hotel
office. where the windows are cur
tanned and comfortable chairs are
placed for customers and visitors.
Where one looks for the sign. don't
"spit on the floor" as a part of the
arrangements Why mention all this?
Simply because it Is uncommon. l.. Q.

River; another In Laurel; hut not
many in Iowa.
One observer of our legislative pro-
ceedings brings out the point, that even
If this present legislature does not do
all we expect and want 1t to, there
Is a great gain to the community, of
the change in sentiment. In re-

porations. Everything seems to tend

PUTTING up the EARS,


The joint commission on immigration
and immigrants appointed two years
ago has in asking for an appropriation
OF a quarter million asserts that II
will have finished its labors by next
September and be ready to report
Some part of what II has been doing
and what 1t expects to do are meager-
ly set forth in its plea for funds. Like
all commissions 1t has moved slowly
and spent money. the expenses up to
date being about $350,000. 1t comes to
no conclusions but foreshadows a re-
port that will be pretty strongly on
the order of exclusion of certain classes
of immigrants Of whom the general
public and the press have long ago
concluded should be kept out of the
country. 1t is always expensive to seek
conclusions than commission, but
perhaps 1t is worth the money. How
ever there is great mass of undi-
gested citizenship to study and con-
slider and about the only way to secure
authentic and absolute facts as re-
CARDS these IS by way of the commits
sion. When 1t is done with its work
we shall have reasonably accurate In
formation upon practically every phase
of the immigration question, including
oriental aliens and other excluded
classes, peonage, charity among immi-
grants, white slave traffic, conditions
of steerage, anthropology, congestion in
large cities, alien criminality, compe-
,tition Of immigrants, school inquiries,
administration OF the immigration
laws, distribution of immigrants and
other questions.
An extensive investigation Is being
made into the question of the import-
alton and harboring of women for Inn
moral purposes. The results show that
many women are being constantly i'm
ported under conditions which amount
to absolute slavery. AS the results of it's
inquiries and the evidences 1t has
gathered there has been q noteworthy
attack upon this business which has
resulted in q very marked decrease,
since the commission began its work.
1t has been found that in numerous
instances persons afflicted with contag-
n.
dangerous type, have been able to
evade the immigration laws and come
to this country under the pretense of
being. seamen.
The utmost Importance Is attached
to the inquiry being made into the sub
ject OF alien criminality. The higher
criminal courts of New York City are
at the request Of the commission keep
ing records in great detail of each per-
son convicted of crime, and 1t is in
tended that a study of foreign-borh
criminals and criminals of the second
generation will be made in that city.
The Investigation, however, is not con-
fined to the larger cities, but is being
carried into smaller centers and indus
trial communities in various parts of
the country.
At the rate we are sending American
farmers into Canada, 10000 year, an
nexation should come about naturally
within the next generation.

Government officials report that
bookkeeping is on the increase because
of the great extent Of dry territory
added by recent legislation. However
this is to be expected and the revenue
officers instead of complaining should
get busy. There is no argument against
a dry county In the increase but a
criticism of officials If 1t continues to
increase.
The good oats special. the good
roads special the corn special, etc, are

The Register and Leader gets the
impression by reading Ottumwa papers
that Ottumwa "is a nest OF undeslr-
able citizens" That paper draws the
wrong conclusion. Ottumwa Is like
other cities mainly made up Of re-

they have turned the city over to a
comparatively small population of un-
desirables to operate under the I'M
preston that the sporting element
knows how to run the town. The trou-
BILE with Ottumwa is that it is a nest
of careless. neglectful, desirable citi-
zens.
