Webster City. March 23-B F. Keltz.
whose resignation from the state
board of pharmacy Governor Carroll
a few days ago requested. still main
tains the position taken from the very
first in refusing to make any state
ment to the press. Considerable mys-
terry and much interest surrounds his
case. Mr. Keltz is now busy at his
home in this city preparing the April
examination schedule of the board
The matter OF his refusal to accede
to the governors request for his res
isnation has attracted statewide at
tention and he has been importuned on
all sides for statement of his atti
tude. To both the local and outside
press, however. he has maintained
like attitude--he has nothing to say.
The governor has my statement in
writing in regard to the charges which
| understand he has against me-" says
ne. and do NOT care at this time to
make any statement for publication"
Mr.. keltz takes the stand that it is
not his move. He has filed a written
statement with Governor Carroll and
he has no desire whatever for a news
paper controversy. 1t has been said
that Governor Carroll may give out
an authorized statement in few days.
AS to this Mr. KeltZ knows nothing.
He. himself. will say nothing. however,
unless the exigencies of the case later
on demand something of the kind. Pri-
vatey he has let his friends here I'M
derstand that his official record will
stand the limelight of publicity, that
he has done nothing of which he is
ashamed or anything but what has
been common practice with his pred
ecessors. The charge has been printed
in several papers that Mr.. keltz at
tended a number of conventions, charg-
ing full per diem on the dates of the
gatherings. Among these has been
listed the democratic state convention
at Sioux City. Close friends of Keltz
here say positively that he was not at
the Sioux City convention. How many
of the other similar charges are also
unfounded is not known owing to Mr..
keltZ's determination to say nothing.

MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE
SHOW REsuBMIssloN,sTs NEW
COURSE.
PLAN OF ACTION CAN
BE SHIFTED TO ELECTORS
Constitution Provides for Its Amend
ment Every Ten Years by Vote of
People Calling Convention, ana
Next Year Is Time for People to So
Vote If They Desire
necial to Times- Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 23.-Some OF th'
senators have been looking a little into
the matter of the distribution of re-
sponsiblity for amendment of the con
stitution and have suggested to the
prohibitionsts that there is quicker
way to get at the change of the con-
stitution than that now being urged.
The constitution in providing for
amendment makes the distinct state
ment that the initiative must be with
the legislators and they shall pass an
amendment up to the people only when
they are satisfied the constitution
should be amended, and in such cases
the vote of the people is only a ratl-
fication of the judgment of the legis-
lators.
But it is also provided that every
ten wears there must be submitted TO
the voters the question OF holding d
convention to amend or revise the con-
stitution, and the initiative for TINS is
fixed upon the voters themselves, al
ter which the legislature has only to
carry out their will
The distinction between the two is
very plain. In the one case the MEM
bers of the legislature are clothed with
responsibility for deciding on an
amendment, and in the other the voters
have that responsibility. One of the
speakers at a recent hearing declared
that the senator's must decide in ia
vor of constitutional prohibition or the
people would get it over the political
corpses, or words to that effect. The
senator's have resented this as threat
not warranted at all, for the constltu-
ton provides that before the legisla-
ture shall put 1t up to the voters TO
ratify an amendment adopted by the
legislature the members must first de-
eide upon it's desirability.
In view of the fact that at the next
general election the voters of the state
will have opportunity of deciding for
themselves whether they desire the
of the constitution, and this
will come before the voters without any
legislative action whatever, it is pos
sible that the plan of action may be
shifted and that the prohibitory
will go into the constitution
thru a convention called for that pur-
pose.

Why are women vain? Nobody
knows-not even the ladies them
selves, declares the Washington Post.
Psychologists have advanced various
theories. One says that they dress
to please man, another declares thai
they adorn their persons to arouse
the envy Of other women, and still
another that they wear pretty clothes
out of sheer standardization. Their
slavery to the rouge pot, the eye
brow pencil, the hair dye and store
puffs is explained in the same fash
ion. The fact remains that If they
so dress for each other, they prove
at the same time immensely attractive
to mere man. Beauty and vanity,
however, are matters only of loca.
ton, and the woman with the most
thoroughly up-to-date hipless hip eff
fect, whose cheeks would pale the
modest blush of the ripe peach, whose
scarlet lips are the model of Cupid's
bow, and whose dark eyes shine like
limpid pools of light, would have
the effect only of repulsing the Mus
sulman, who, with his own ideas of
feminine pulchritude, would turn with
renewed alteration to his lady of the
