after six months OF effort to get to-

The disa agreement Is over the Bris-

"Thers were absolutely less than six
delegates who left the hail. out OF a

dissatisfaction with It's delibera tlors.
The convention was practically unani-
nous on all questions. Leading citi.

contesting delegates from Hillsboro

judges Of election in counting ballots
to give the voter the benefit of all such
parts of his ballot which are clear
enough to indicate the intention as to
such parts even If the intention can
not be ascertaired upon all parts OF

The opinion, which was in writing

be regarded as void and not counted
from which 1t is impossible to deter
mine the voters intention from the
markings thereon.
Section 1911 of the penal code pre-
scribes that mo person shall do any
electioneering on election day within
any polling place or any building in
which an election is being held, or
within 100 feet thereof, nor obstruct
the doors or entries thereto, nor pre-
vent free ingress to and egress from
said building"
In my opinion this section does not
preclude the bringing of voters to the
polling places in conveyances of one
sort or another, unless when within 100
feet of the polls the people within the
carriage should electioneer. 1t does
not prevent such carriages or convey
ances from stopping in front of the
polls so long as in so doing they do
not obstruct or prevent the means of
free ingress to and egress from the
polls, and the parties in such convey
ances do not when within the 100 feet
limitation electioneer or in any way
attempt to influence the voter.

What a man wants that will he
get" says Emerson, 'or be changed

There is far more everyday truth in
that philosophy than we realize
Genuine. wholehearted wanting of
anything is tremendous leverage.
Somehow or other we are likely to find
time for the things we really and truly
want. And when we say that we can't
possibly do this or that or the other,
despite the fact that we want to with
all our hearts, we are likely to be de-
ceiving ourselves.
Desire, If 1t is strong enough, devel-

the eternal vigilance that is always
the price of household economy she

character the result of necessity; her

is simply the result of her desire to

LEAVES ENMITlEs.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald of
August II said: THE question Of sub
shutting the secret ballot for the petit
ton in deciding saloon consent in
cities and towns is one which doubt
less will occupy the legislature at its
next session. It might be assumed
in some quarters that the anti-saloon
forces would oppose the change, but
we find many of them advocating it.
Their reason in part Is perhaps their
secret hope that with the secret bal
lot in vogue they could make dry
territory what is now wet territory.
But their is another large factor con-
sidered; it is community peace The
petition of consent has destroyed
unity of effort in many Iowa cities be-
cause of the division of leaders OF
thought and action on the question Of
the saloons-a division generally so
sharply and bitterly defined as to
leave enmities that do not heal The
Shankland bill, which was considered
in the last session of the legislature,
provides for determining the issue OF
saloons or not saloons by ballot In
stead of by petition. 1t was at first
regarded as measure drawn in the
saloons interest, but that impression
is fast disappearing, evidenced in the
support given the measure by temper
ance clergymen. All base their sup
port of the Shankland bill on the
ground that the petition Of consent is
undemocratic and therefore un-Amer-
lean. But in advocating it they abate
not one jot of their hostility to sa-
looms and the liquor traffic."
With 'drys' and vets united be-
! hind the Shankland bill 1t ought to
be an easy matter to secure its adop-
ton by the next legislature"

PREPARE FOR TRAFFIC.

Officials of western railroads are
being urged to place their cars and
locomotives in good condition in or
der to take care of the heavy crop
movement that is surely coming.
Across the river in Illinois the state
warehouse and railroad commission
has asked the roads to report before
November ! the number of cars they
have in condition for the loading OF
grain and coal, number of cars unfit
for service and number of locomo-
tives in serviceable condition.
Last year explains the letter,
there was a great shortage OF cars,
and, in many instances, OF motive
power during the fall and winter
months especially, to move both grain
and coal This matter was so urgent
and was brought to the notice of the
commission from so many different
sources, and our investigation showed
such condition of affairs that we
feel it our duty at this time to call
special attention to this matter.
Our investigation at that time de
veloped the fact that all of the roads
had more or less cars, as we'll as mo-
tive power, unfit for use, and in many
instances developed the fact that a
large number of their cars and loco
motives were out of service. In some
instances good reasons were given,
The indications point to large crop
this year. The railroads should begin
now to put in order equipment OF
every kind that can be used in ship
ping when the time comes In order
that these conditions may be met
properly and the grain and coal of our
state handled promptly and without
