WHY THESE DIFFERENCES

Attorney General Byers comes out
as a candidate for congress, as "the
Cum.nins candidate" Mr. Byers
suggests that he is for reform in the
House rules, so that the Speaker
may not name the committees.
Gorge w. Clark is a reform candi
date for reelection as Lieutenant
Governor of Iowa. He does not sug'
gest that the Iowa senate rl,teS be
changed so as to take away from the
lieutenant governor the selection of
the senate committee in Iowa.
Byers was Speaker of the Iowa
legislature and so was Congressman
Kendall. Neither of these have sug
gested the taking away from the Iowa
speaker the power of making up the
Iowa committees.
And now comes Senator A. j.
Beveridge claimed as reforner)
and says that The vice-preS!iCr; Of
the United States should select the
senate committees, and not the SEN
ate itself.
And there you have it. Great is
consistency!

ScaftoId Gave Way

b F. Grubb, contractor, OF South
Market street and Cias. Spann, a
workman, were slightly injured yes
terday at Rose Hill. They were work
ing on a scafToM at the new brick
building being erected at Rose Hill
when without warning the scaffold
gave way and they were participated
to the ground several feet below.
Mi GTubb was picked up in a semi
unconscious state but although he is
not able to work to-day he is not SER
iOusly injured. MI. Spann fell in such
4 manner as to cut his hand across
the palm. Neither man was injured
seriously and they are C0ngratulating
themselves that they got off with as
little injury as they did.

THE CALL OF THE CENTURY.

President David Starr Jordan, of
the Leland Stanford university in Cal.
ifornia, in an address before the Chi
cago Sunday Evening Club advised
young men to cultivate the virtues
told about in the Sunday School
books" as the foundation of success.
He declared that there is not a sin
gle virtue that does not bring money
to mans business, and not a single
vice that is not charged up against
him in wages and salary. Continuing
he said:
IF young man is courteous, God
fearing, truthful, his word is as good
as his bond, and if he excels in any
one of the virtues told about in the
Sunday school books you will find
business men holding him in higher
esteem, and on that account paying
him higher salary. g"
THE call of the twentieth century
is for the sober mind Trustworthi-
ness is one of the greatest of virtues
Whatever is good adds to, and what
ever is bad detracts from clearness,
sobriety and trustworthiness of mind"
DR.. Jordan's address. which had for
its subject, The Call of the Century"
was sprinkled with epigrams. Some
of them We're:
THE best way to be ready for to-
morrow is to be here today"
Ignorance is not bliss any longer;
ic
Chicago doesn't know its politics
from one day to another"
You can't vote a straight ticket
until you have scratched off the crook
ed names"
The public is getting tired of
smooth men; it wants men of charac
ter"
Wisdom is In knowing what to do
now" '"rE
There never was a time when there
were SO many calls for young men as
now. There is always room at the
top, but the elevator isn't running"
who are the young men who fail
to climb? Go down the street and
see the young men drinking in the
saloons. They are the young men
who are not wanted. In ten years
half of them will be dead. and the
other half will be selling themselves
for the best they can get"

THE ANNUAL MEMORIAL
Phil Kearney Post Pay Homage to
Departed Dead.

The annual memorial service OF
Phil Kearney Post of the G. A. r., III
honor of the members OF the Post
who have passed to the other side
since the last memorial in January,
1909 was held at the court room Sun
day afternoon. A large company OF
the Post members were out for the
service and the crowd of interested
people in attendance nIlGd the court
room, leaving few empty seats. The
program was of much excellence and
the interest taken in the services by
both public and the patriotic members
of the order was most gratifying to
the old members. The Woman's Re-
lief Corps of Phil Kearney Post and
the Ladies Of the G. A. r. were pres
e1rt in organized numbers and added
10 the success of the program.
The service was all that could be de
sired the music Was unusually excel
lent and the address one of the best
yet heard upon the memorial occasion.
Five members were deceased last
year:
George W. Blair
Thomas Carr.
Thomas Higgins.
,J3hn +. Brown.
Jeremiah f. Everett.
The special music for the program
WAS under the direction OF Mrs. V. K.
Logan and it was of class suited to
TIE occasion. The solo, THE Old
Flag Never Touched the Ground, was
specially excellent.
The address by Rev. Carl G. Petri
was somewhat unusual. 1t was not
an address in the true sense OF the
term. 1t was a symposium of quota
tions upon the subject OF the immor-
ta,fty OF the soldier made up from a
wide range oi officers. The placing
OF the3e quotations to make haTmo-
NOUS Whole WAS particularly pleasing.
The five wreath bearers for the five
departed comrades, who participated
in the ritualistic ceremonies, were J.
~ Endicott, James irwin, J. N. Henry,
C. Woodruff and William Bartlett.

PRIMARY ELECTION LISTS
sEc'Y HAYWARD ARRANGEs Fig
URES-A BIG TASK.
Under the Peterson-Lee Law Different
Grouping of Names Will Be Made
BY Political Parties.

DeS MOines, Jan. 4.-SecreJaFy Vi
State Hayward has taken the hrst
step in compliance with the Peterson
Lee law passed by the last general
assembly doing away with the alpha
betical arrangement of names of can
didates on ballots in all counties.
The law requires that the names OF
candidates for each Office shall appear
| in alphabetical order in the county
casting the highest vote for governor
in the last preceding general election;
that in the highest county the candl-
date whose name appears second IN
the alphabetical order, appear first,
and the first appear last and so on
through all the counties.
How Law Works.
For instance, If CoSson, Eaton, Fee
ly and Lee are candidates for attor-
ney general, under the provisions of
this act the names will appear in this
order on the ballots used in Polk coun-
| ty, which cast the highest vote.
| In Linn county-the county having
the next highest vote-the names will
appear in this order: Eaton, Feely, Lee
and Cosson.
In the next higher county Feely will
lead the list, then Lee and then Cos
son will again lead.
This changing o. order will con-
tinue on through the whole list of
with the advantage given candidate
who is fortunate in having a name be-
! ginning with a letter appearing near
the beginning of the alphabet. This
advantage has in the past given the
lucky leader of Hle list of candidates
about ten per cent more votes, 1T be-
ing considered that about this many
voters vote for the first nina IL they
have no particular Bavorite.
The first task OF Secretary Hayward
in complying with this law was COM
pilation of the total number of votes
cast in all the counties of the state
and the arrangement of the counties
in accordance to the voting strength
at the last general election.
This list must be certified down to
the county auditors over the state,
who in turn must prepare similar
list in their county, arranging the,
highest city, town and precinct in Or
der.
Secretary Of State Hayward has re-
ceived the lists prepared in his Office
from the state printer for the republi.
can and democratic parties and VIII
send them out to the county auditors
soon.
The order OF the counties for the re-
publican party in the Sixth district
5 as follows, together with the vote
cast for governor in each county the
last preceding general election:
