CITY WARDS TOO BIG.

on Thursday, November s, 1908, two
days after the last presidential elec'
tional an editorial In the Courier saia :
This election has shown one thlns
conclusively upon which republicans
and democrats can freely agree-the
Ottumwa wards are too big. What Is
needed is a division of the Ottum"a
wards into precincts. It is an 1mposl-
ton upon any citizen to be called 10
serve on an election board when the
work necessitates losing two or three
nights sleep. At noon as this IS VIII
ten the first and third ward JUDGES
and clerks of election are still at WORK
an the returns. They have been at
work almost continually since, me
polls opened Tuesday morning. FOR
three days and two nights they nave
been counting votes, and 1t Is no won
der If their nerves are worn down 10
a wire edge long before they are
through their work.
Many Of the wards have from ooo 70
100 voters If these wards were at
least split In two It would tighten the
burden on the election officials ana
would hermit a much earlier compile
ton OF the count Until this morning
Il was not known how the: election
had gone in Wapello county. When
the outstanding wards were narrowed
down to the first and third wards IN
town then some idea could be gained
Nv the candidates and their friends as
to lust how the election really went.
About forty hours after the polls clos
Cd IN Ottumwa the candidates were
able to come somewhere near arrlV-

were victors or losers.
A. little discussion OF this questlon
OF dividing the wards into preclnc's
is timely just now: s.,,u
Well, they were in better shape 1our
years ago on, the Thursday following
the election than they are THIS year.
At noon they were still at WORK III
three wards instead OF two as was
the case four years ago: Election
Judges and clerks were still counting
the votes in the first, third and fourtn
wards. The sixth was only completed
this morning.
Through the kindness of the cleo.
tion officials in counting OF the head OF
the ticket first the returns were re-
ceiyed election night on president
governor and congressman. but on
the state. county and township tickets
the result Thursday noon Is not known.
Only the fifth ward IN the CITY nm
ished counting It's vote yesterday. inc
second, seventh and eighth ward Of
ficials completed the work last night:
The sixth ward count was completed
this morning. The first, third and
fourth ward election boards were still
at work at noon today.
Everybody agrees that the wards
should be divided into precincts. Al
tor the elections in 1904 and 1908 and
the primaries Intervening there were
protests against the delay and the hard
task imposed on election officials. But
no action has been taken looking TO-
ward relief.
Let's attend to this matter at once
while this years experience in count
ing the vote is fresh in our minds.

1t happened that there were no ex-

age, the stronger partner under the

to run away to escape the conse-

Statistics thus corroborate matter
of common knowledge. Yet they tell
only a small part of the story of the
abused wife's devotion and the de-
serted wife's illimitable courage. The
bench, at any rate, has paid due trib-
ute to the more enduring sex.

Boosting Of Atheism.

Iowa City Republican,: A young
fool has commenced work IN the
University of Iowa. He doesn't know
it, but here's hoping that he finds 1t
out. This young man registered for
work in a professional college. He 1s
of mature years, a graduate OF the
collegiate department of an eastern
university. He made out his matricu-
lation card in the registrars once,
but left the line for religious prefer
ment blank. The omission was called
to his attention.
II can't fill out that line" he said
in a voice that could be heard all over
the big room. I'm an atheist"
The poor young fool! He is the
kind of man described in Iowa City
by former President Andrews of the
University Of Nebraska as a disap.
pearing college type - the protested
atheist who flaunts his lack of faith.
Robert G. Ingersoll would pity
this young man, for 1ngersoll was
far from being an atheist. What a
lonely man an atheist must be! He
sees no divinity in anything. In the
unfolding of rose, in the colors on
a grosbeaks wing, in the serenity
of an autumn twilight, he sees no
mystic beauty; no kinship Of man to
nature that brings the sense of man
to an eternal, intellectual presence
in the world. He is a lost soul in
deed. If he really is an atheist, and
does not merely think he is, he
should grieve over the fact rather
than boast of it.
This is not an imaginary case.
The young man is the son of one Of
the most prominent men in Iowa.
The chief consolation is that there
are few like him and he will prob.
ably get over it.

reference of mothers-in-law;" but
