Banquet

The memte If the eleventh
grade of the \: V. II. S, enter.
tanned the faenily of the high
school and the Abel debate,s
and the Mo. Valley debaters
last evening at a fine banquet
which was held in the K. P
hall. AS Mo. Valley was vic.
torious at the debate, everyone
was unusually happy and ii
goes without saying that every.
body had a good time.
The young people were seat
ed at one long table which was
.prettily decorated in red and
white, the class colors. A
large bouquet of red carnations
occupied the center of the ia
bic. Miss Florence Schulz
meister, president of the class,
was seated at the head of the
table. After the banquet was
served several toasts were
given, which were all. greatly
enjoyed. A very neat feature
of the affair was the place
cards which were made in the
shape of pennants, each one
embellished with the M. V. H.
S. and A. H. S. monograms.

Reapportionment.

just at this time there. is con-
siderable talk in Congress as to
what is to be done on the sub.
ject of the reapportionment of
the membership of Congress in
the several States. AS now fix
ed, it requires 332,84O popula-
ton to each member, and the
law requires a Federal Census
to be taken every ten years and
upon this Enumeration the num-
Der of Representatives is fixed,
and that is the subject that is
just now engaging the atten-
ton of the members of congress
at this time. Each member is
ANXIOUS to increase his State
representation, or at least to
hold the present number of
members, but as we have 39l
members, it will be difficult to
cut out any one member. Iowa
has IL members, and as we have
not gained in population, all we
ask "is to be let alone" We
suppose the present member
ship will be agreed upon by the
present Congress, and if so, it
will give the number, with the
Senate 48l votes on joint bal.
lott. This number ought to be
able to transact all the legiti-
mate public business of the Ma
ton, even with a "big n"
The number of members of
Congress to be elected by the
States is determined by taking
the whole number of the popu-
4lation and divide it by the num-
Der agreed upon as the ratio to
constitute a Congressman, and
when so determined, then the
State Legislatures fix the and
determine the boundries Of the
districts, naming the counties
constituting each district in the
State which remains a congress-
ionat district until next Federal
Census, which occurs every ten
years. This redistricting by
the legislatures, is often the re-
suit of party strife and i'll fee
ling, resulting in disgraceful
and unjust Geremandering to
keep intack the political charac
ter of the district, thus violating
both law and justice to secure
a party success.
A good reason for retaining
the present representation is
the fact that the number of the
members Of Congress governs
the number of Electors who
elect the President and shape
the government. Iowa now has
twelve members of the House
and two of the Senate, which
gives the State fourteen dele
gates in the National Conven-
tion to nominate candidates and
also fourteen Electors who elect
both President and Vice Presi-
dent.

Easter this year will fall on
April 10th, nearly three weeks
later than last year, and later
than any year since 1905 when
the date for the annual church
festival fell on April %. Eas-
ter last year was early, March
q, which is the earliest posi-
BILE date for the festival, which
is always the first Sunday after
the full moon on or after the
twenty-first day of March. If
the full moon happens on Sun
day, Easter is celebrated one
week later.
Ash Wednesday, the first day
of Lent, comes the first day of
March of this year, and Good
Friday will be April IA. The
lateness of Easter lengthens
the social season and has a
tendency to delay the advent
of the spring hat.

A. Joke.

Who is the joker or jokers in
the Iowa House? There must
be a number down at Des Moines
who vote aye on any bill that
may come up. They have just
passed a bill requiring that all
vehicles must pass to the left
instead of to the right, a rule
as old as civiliz ,tion, because
the stearing gear Of most Of the
automobiles is on the right side.
Bright idea! Change the Road
laws of the country in place of
changing the stearing gears on
automobiles. It is a good thing
we have a level headed Sc nate
Ito hold these jokers down.

In any consideration of the
influence Horace Greeley ex-
!erted upon the destiny of his
country it should not be forgot
ten that he secured the nomin-
alton of Lincoln in 1860. De-
feated by Weed and Seward in
his desire to 60 to the national
convention as a delegate from
New York, he secured a proxy
from Oregon and, in the con-
vention, threw the weight Of
his great influence among west
ern delegates against Seward,
the most prominent candidate,
and, eventually, concentrated
the opposition on Lincoln. One
needs but read Welles' estimate
of Seward, given in his diary,
to realize how different might
have been the history of those
great days had Seward been
president. Sioux City Trib.

present system.

A whole lot of city men be-
grudge the millions it costs
Uncle Sam annually to keep up
the rural delivery system. That
is why they propose to charge
postage on every parcel the
carriers handle, instead of per-
hitting the carriers to handle
them as an accommodation to
their patrons, as they do now.
And many farmers have been
deluded into the belief that it
would be better for them to
pay postage charges on their
parcels than to settle with the
carriers on the present friendly
basis. From a revenue stand
point, the proposed rural par
GELS post is a good thing for
Uncle Sam but the present
arrangement is far better for
both farmers and home merch-
ants.
