Thu, following is reprint from a

hours run from the center Of the state.

That's going some, but il IS away
short of the record pace. It looks speedy
in print but if women in other cities
will sit down and study their own
schedules they vii ind that j. isn't

churchmen. were 20 count the even

obligations. business committees and

The question mag well be asked
whether the steam raised isn't in ex-
cess % the horsepower developed,
whether the excess OF pressure does not
defeat its own object. Men and women
grow tired They get weary % the
eternal demand upon their time and
energies and when that happens the
whiffle;-ee scrapes the front wheel.
They lag They lack strength and de-
sire to push or pull.
There's too much 81 it every direc-
ton. We ara wasting energy. Burning
heat units in the open air, diffus!ng in
stead Of concentrating. We are losing
instead Of gaining, meeting and part
ing without accom- plishment and tbs
real cause of the lack Of accom- plish-
ment is the diffusion Of energy. We
are all tired. 1t Is time for change
for less talk, fewer meetings social
business, and alrustic and more re-
suits.

movement in the last congress to de-
prive the speaker OF the power OF ap-
pointing committees IS spreading TO
state legislatures; and 1owans may
take pride IN the thought thai Iowa is
likely TO lead in the reform.
Lieutenant Governor Clarke's partici-
patton in the fight for Delivers shoes
suggests that IL the Interest Of good

tariiy relinquish his right to appoint
committees in the next state senate
And Representative Shankland Of Des

speaker OF like powers.
II there ever was any reason why
either Of these officers sho"id appoint
the committees OF the respective deiib-
crate bodies over which the" preside it
has long since vanished. There is no
more reason now why such should be
the case than there is why they should
dominate their fellow members in any
o.har vital respects.
Thr1, their power in the appointment
of committees the lieutenant governor
and the speaker can ard often exercise
enormous influence over legislation
Originally It was doubtless thought
that these officers would be of such ex-
traordinary ability as tstesmen that
the powers in question would be less
subject 70 abuse IL! their hands than II
nut under the control OF the whole body
OF the senate or house. On the same
theory it used to be considered and still
is in unenlightened countries that lin
tied or absolute monarchies serve the
needs of efficient and orderly govern
ment better than does popular rule.
But these government fetiches are
now outworn. Iowa mas not had
lieutenant governor or speaker since
her first assembly was organized who
was in any marked degree the super
Tor Of his fellows. This is because in
these later times the average man is
much better qualified to cope with
questions of government than was for
merly the case. Today our lieutenant
governors and our speakers can always
be matched in experience and ability

whom they are set.
