ELECTION !: { DELAYS.

Ottumwa does not seem to be the
only city In Iowa that has to wait Two
or three days, after elections to hnd
out who was elected. This year the
Iowa papers put in q whole week try
Ing to flnd out the total vote on the
state ticket and then gave 1T up as a
bad lob. They are now waiting for the
omcial count to learn the pluralitles on
the state ticket. The inability to get
complete returns was due TO the de-
Iayed count in few OF the cities.
which made 1t impossible to give full
county returns during the week IN
which the election was held Wapello
was one Of these counties. The full
returns from all the city wards were
not secured until Thursday Mahaska
county was another, and the delay
there was due to the slow countin the
I city wards. The 4Oskaloosa Times
says that one election board worked
fifty-fve hours before their returns
were certified to the county auditor
Thursday afternoon. The Times de-
clares this to be inhuman and urges
amending the law by supplying two
sets OF judges and clerks.
The Marshalltown Times-Republica
agrees that it is inhuman to make the
whole county wait fifty-f1ve hours or a
large part Of that time for important
news Of an important result. but it
believes that in cases Of this kind it
may be evidence Of incompetence on
the part OF election officials The
Times Republican adds:
Perhaps the double board might
hurry it little but SO long as boards
are selected without particular atten-
ton to qualifications It may be doubted
whether or not the shifts would hurry
up matters great deal. The pay for
clerks and judges is not attractive to
experts. 1t sis day laborers' wage
and the average man who has job
is disinclined to look at the proffer OF
q place on the election board unless he
has personal and particular reasons
for being on.
But even with experts there is still
unnecessary and vexatious delay.
Something must be done. precincts
split, machines installed, or at least
some system and organization of cleo
tion boards looking toward efficiency.
The point is that there is plenty Of
time now to plan relief measures be-
fore another general election is upon
us. This same matter has been brought
up repeatedly after elections, but no
steps were taken while the vexatious
delays were fresh in the memory, and
afterwards the people promptly forgot
all about 1T, until another election
brought the same old delays.
When Ottumwa gets the waterworks
matter settled this subject of voting
machines or cutting up the city wards
into precincts might probably be
given consideration.

THE SERVANTS Of CAPITAL.

consolidation Of capital has been
going on rapidly over the world for at
least twenty years." says the Satur-
day Evening Post. Germany has no
Morgan or Rockefeller; but ner
scartels' and syndicates correspond to
our trusts. In 1871 the number of iron
works there was two hundred and
thirteen, with yearly output valued
at twenty-five million dollars. In 1907
the number of works had fallen to one
hundred and three, though the value
of output had risen to a hundred and
sixty-fve millions. In England and
Wales, exclusive of London, in 1889,
there were ninety-six joint-stock
banks, holding eight hundred million
dollars of deposits. In 1908 the num-
Der of such banks was only thirty
seven and their deposits had risen to
a thousand millions. Since 1908
further consolidation of banks has
taken place there. Instances outside
the United States of this powerful ten
dency of capital to combine might be
multiplied.
with instances inside the United
States every reader is familiar; but
our instances are often misunderstood
because they are treated as personal
movements-as something that Nor
gan and Hill, Hartman and Rookie
Teller are doing. This consolidation
is not movement of men at all 1t
is worldwide movement Of capital;
and it would have gone on in the
United States in substantially the
same way If the gentlemen named had
never been born.
& ...The grand object of consolidation
is to suppress competition; and for
capital that has become a measure OF
self-preservation. The New York
Central railroad was made up of q
dozen small local lines. A fight be
tween them would have been much
like a war between two Indian tribes
-some scalping a few acres Of corn
destroyed, fifty bark huts burned. In
the present New York Central system
something like thousand million dol
lars is invested. Just south lies the
system, in which an
other thousand million is invested.
Actual war between these two huge
systems would destroy capital as fast
as many a campaign that figures in

THE WATER QUESTION.

The voters OF the city will decide at
the polls tomorrow whether the city
shall at this time purchase the water
works. Water is one Of the absolute
necessities Of human life, both fndt-
vidually and collectively. A city has
to be supplied with water, and It diff
fers from the Individual in that 1t de-
mands an increasing volume or supply.
This increase in volume land In this
instance quality always is one of the
most serious questions with which city
governments are confronted.
The condition in this city is q seri-
GUS one, and has been SO during the
entire, life Of this municipality. OF
tumwa never has had decent or
adequate water supply. d
The matter is now left for the
voters to act upon. The duty OF the
voters, as we see it, is to give the mat
ter serious thought, and vote for the
plan that1he thinks will the soonest
give the city and citizens the best
service.
AS this is purely a local matter, the
Courier, believing that the people
should be Influenced, not by any man
or any papers personal opinion, but
by all the facts relating to the subject
that could be secured. opened its
columns to free and full discussion
of the waterworks question. Space
was given to every article on this sub
ject submitted for publication, with the
result that facts sustaining arguments
for and against the proposition have
been given to the people. Public meet
ings at which the waterworks question
was discussed have been given the
fullest publicity. The matter is now
put up to the people and will be
decided, by them at the polls.

conditions.
zone might say that personally Mr..
Morgan has nothing to do with it. He
Is the agent of capital only because he
does the things that capital requires.
If he did not do them there would in
stantly be another agent.
Perhaps those publicists are right
who say that this consolidation Of cap
ital is the most important phenomenon
of our times; but whoever regards 1t
as in any degree a personal move
ment, or subject to the discretion OF
any one man or any limited number
of men, will never understand It.
