Larrabee closes an honorable career.
For half a century Governor LARA
bee welded strong influence in
shaping Iowa thought. He early as
sumed leadership in the legislature
and for long period of years served
as chairman of the ways and means
committee and the most important in
the senate. He served for two terms
as governor of the state, and ranked
among Iowa's greatest governors. The
railroad regulation measures enacted
through his efforts served as the
model for legislation in other states.
Governor Larrabee was called from
retirement to become the first chair
man Of the board of control of state
institutions. 1t was felt when the
board was inaugurated that there
should be strong man at the head
to guide it through the experimental
stage and there was general agree
ment that Governor Larrabee was the
man most needed for the place. Gov
ernor Larrabee and his associates on
the first board gave valuable service
to the state. Ts.
Governor Larrabee was widely
known as philanthropist, though he
gave SO quietly that the extent of his
benefactions was never known.
He left an honored name that will
always remain near the head Of the
list of those. who have given loyal
service to the state.

clrY,s GROWTH DEMANDS
CHANGE.

In 1885 the population of Ottumwa'
according to the state census OF .hat
wear was. 10,506. There were then -FOUR
wards in the city. In the two following
years two more wards. the f1ftn ana
sixth were added. About ten years
later the growth Of the soutn siae
nAcessitated another ward, ana the
seventh was added. There has been no
change In the Ottumwa city Waros
since that time.
The six north side wards, there
fore have not been changed in twenty
five years, although in that tlme "
tumwa's population has doubled. lhis
accounts for the needless delays IN
counting the vote which have been
more apparent at every election In re-
cent wears. There are twice as many
votes to count in each ward. Ana
where formerly the greater NUMBER
were straight ballots, with only oc.
ca.,ona1 scratches the scratched
ballots have been greatly IN the ma,
iority In the last few elections and
the work Of the election boards there
by increased.
It should be apparent that the ward
divisions made when Ottumwa was
less than half it's present size will not
serve today as voting units. The ward
boundaries need not be changed, but
there should be at least two Young
nrecincts In each ward In order TO re-
Once the labors Of the election OIL

HIGH PRICES

Springfield, Mass. Republican,: A
somewhat novel theory of the advance
in the cost of living Is submitted by
tho Baltimore American, which sug-
gests:
One reason for high prices Is that
oople in this prosperous age have the
money to spend and pay what is asked
without murmur. 1t frequently
makes a difference to ask the price
before buying.
! It Is true that Americans have come
almost universally to buy without bag
Cling; the price Is marked and one
takes an article or leaves 1t. In GER
tain lines Of trade, of course, there Is
still room for bargaining, but the
standardizing influence of the big de-
partment stores has been felt In most
lines of trade At the market Gus
toners walk among joints, chops,
fowls, delicatessen and vegetables,
each Zine" graded in price, and make
their choice, perhaps with grumbling,
but without serious argument with the
salesman. Is 1t true, as the American
hints, that the public Is being rather
needlessly exploited because 1t spends
so willingly? Is relief to be found in
return to the old world practice OF
beating the dealer down which still
obtains in our colonies of foreigners?
Most Americans would rather pay too
much than waste time, words and
temper in arguing over matter Of
few cents, and many of them will pay
a fancy price rather than go to an
equally good shop in less fashion
able street. These are conditions, OF
course which favor the maintenance
of high prices, and encourage the re-
taller to take his share Of the general
increase.

PUBLIC INDEBTEDNESS.

The county of Black Hawk, OF which
Waterloo is the county seat, mas
cleared itself of debt and now has
: surplus of $4,000 on hand. Dis
cussing Black Hawks release from
indebtedness and congratulating that
county for taking the sensible course,
rather than continuing to make I'M
movements on borrowed money, the
Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
II is preached to some towns by
alleged wise men who imagine them
selves authorities upon all sorts Of
subjects that 1t is the wise policy to
keep town in debt to the limit. The
wise policy would be to get a town
mt Of debt and to keep it SO. Nobody
would advise a man to get just as far
into debt as he possibly can and then
~ stay there. And 50 no reasonable
man ought to advise city to get into
debt and to remain in debt. There are
people who argue. that coming gen.
Grafton ought to pay for the improve.
mants which we are making. In al
coming generation Will
find the work that we are leaving hid
eously ugly and by no means adapt.
Cd ia the needs Of that later time. And
ere we leave them the debt, we shall
have paid the amount once and per-
hans twice in the form of interest
charges. It Is a great way OF cutting
of ones nose to spite ones face. And
then. why harbor grudge against
generations yet unborn?

FOR "cLEAN SPEECH"

Chicago Record-Herald: A league, 1t
is announced, has been formed against
"the current use of b1asphemous, pro-
fame and obscene language in pubic
places" It's object is to obtain enforce
ment Of the law against users of such
language and to anything else that
may be necessary to check an evil in
our public conduct.
Too many Americans are addicted
to foul and vulgar speech. Returning
travellers and visitors from foreign
shores notice an offensive profusion of
such language as soon as the home
port Is reached. 1t has no parallel in
Europe and no proper place here. Per-
haps 1t exists because of the greater
nervous strain that is on Americans;
perhaps 1t is q result Of freedom from

world. Max Hayes, the well-known
newspaper correspondent writing

John Mitchell from his position as

would necessitate his retiring from

he doesn't desire to do at this time.

and to dodge the job hunters. Mean.
while there. are rumors that other trou-
bles are in store for him when he re-

foreground and is expected to have
much to say in connection with the
