LAHoR,ous ELECTION WORK.

It has been brought to Ottumwa's at
tention again that some steps must be
taken to provide an earlier count OF
the vote at elections. The election was
held Tuesday and the polls closed at
O'Clock that night. The following day,
wednesday, only one out of the nine
precincts in Center township had COM
pleted the count of it's vote. The cleo
ton officers in the other eight pre-.
cincts concluded their arduous labors
Thursday morning, more than forty
eight hours after they had gone on
duty.
AS repeatedly stated in the Courier,
this situation should be relieved. 1t is
an imposition on the men asked to
serve on election boards, and it is an
inconvenience to the public to have to
wait forty-eight hours in order to find
out the result of the election in Wa
pello county.
There are two methods Of relieving
the situation. One is by the use of vot-
ing machines. The other is by dividing
the big Ottumwa wards into precincts.
Des Moines and Cedar Rapids used vot-
Ing machines this year and both cities
declare the machines to be a success.
The count Of the vote was completed
in a few minutes after the polls closed
and the result was soon known. Other
cities have divided their wards into
precincts, thus permitting an early
count of the vote, and reducing the
work Of the election boards. There is

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The election of a democratic MAJOR
itv in the house of representatives
shows how history will repeat ltsef.
For a half century and more no polltl.
cal party has ever made a downward
revision of the tariff and been success
full at the next election.
While, no doubt, each time the peo-
nile have thought conditions were new,
it is evident that they have been much
the same, and there is no particular
cause for the republicans to be alarmed
now because democratic house OF rep
resentatives has been elected. The rec
ords bearing out the statment that no
nolitical party has revised the tariff
downward and carried the next cleo
tion show that the republican party
tried 1t in 1883 and Mr.. Cleveland was
elected in 1884. The democratc mousse
tried it in 1887 and the republican
party elected the president and con-
gress MISS. Tie republican party at
tempted to lower the tariff on Oct. 1,
1890 and a congress, democratic by
142 majority, WIS elected thirty days
thereafter. The democratic party fin
ished a revision in August, 1894, and IN
less than three months thereafter re-
publican congress was elected with 81
majority.
If one reads the debates that oc-
Cured at the periods above mentioned
it will be seen that the same arga-
ments for and against. a protective tar
if have been heard in the halls Of con-
gress from the time of Clay until the
present day. And the result following
the enactment of each tariff law has
been the same.
It would have made no difference
what sort of tariff revision had been
made at the recent session of congress.
No revision was possible then or is pos
sible now that would suit everybody.
The result following the last revision
of the tariff has been the same as that
following former revisions. History has
repeated itself.

For the last year Iowa has given
more thought to the question Of i'm
proving it's roads than ever before.
Much real improvement has been
dcne, largely through the instru-
mentality of good roads boosters con-
nected with the various commercial as
sociations in the state. 1t has been
asserted that Iowa needs new legisla-
Iaticn that will bring about better
road work. This subject is one that
the next legislature will have to give
attention. This is the kind of work
the legislature should take up-work

golden dreams of-the big world out
side. What JOY, 1t would be to take
her around, to watch her wonder and
and delight. /. She must
certainly come. He would talk to Miss
barton about 1t.
In his eagerness to strengthen her
desire he launched into vivid de-
scription of the, amazing joys and
wonders OF the far cities; he told her
of the immense buildings, the crowded
streets, the marvels that met one at
every turn.
Indeed, in his sudden enthusiasm,
and just to watch her eyes grow
round and big. he called on all the arts
OF lbs Imagination and added many
awesome touches of his own, described
strange happenings unknown to man
or beast, and added thrilling tales Of
wild enchantment. At last, realizing
that the sun was slipping down be-
hind the trees and the shadows grow
ing long across the grass he rose
hastily, apologizing for his thought
lessness.
At that moment the woman he had
met on the road turned In at the gate
and came slowly up the path. She was
less frumpy seen at close range.
Philip decided. He sprang down the
steps to meet her. s..

cordially, your, father wrote me about
you, and I'm sorry; too, but I'm glad
you found Elsie. Your father was anx-

years without realizing that 4

Indignantly at the porch. 1t was empty.
With somewhat abrupt leave

crank his machine. Shy, indeed! Timid

him from head to foot What must she

IBy Morning journal Special Leased WireI
Chicago, Dec. 24,-Dr. Patrick II.
Hayes, sixty years old. but athletic,
soundly pummeled man in Judge
Hines court today and was unre-
buked for the surprising attack. 1t
came about in this manner:
When DIR. Hays was attacked by
Edward Meyers, an alleged pick
pocket and hold-up man, Friday
night, the physician punched Meyers
until the latter cried quits. Then DR..
Hayes called policeman and had
Meyers taken TO jail.
What did you do doctor. when this
man tried to rob you?" asked the
court today when Meyers was ar
raigned for trial.
Without making q reply DIR. Hayes
jumped at Meyers with the agility Of
a boy, seized the prisoner by the coll
lar of the coat threw him against n
bench, struck him repeatedly with
clenched fists and wound up by
hurting Meyers to the floor and sit
ting on him.
There. judge, that's what / did"
said DR., Hayes as he loosened his
hold on the frightened prisoner.
Meyers. who is thirty-four years old,
was held to the grand jury on bonds
of $1,000.
