IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

AS the ogden Reporter views the
matter There Is no cause fer excite
ment over the results of the two COLI
ventions being held in Chicago. All
there is to it is a new spirit of en-
lightenment for the intelligent public.
The demand for politicians in office Is
to do things, and the demand of the
people is greater today, that a public
official act in conformity of the peo-
pie, than were before, and the party
that satisfies and acts for the people is
winner, regardless Of who, what or
kind. This Is progressive age, one Of
enlightenment"
The Iowa City Republican doubts
the advisability of the city having av-
iation meets. or similar attempts to
entertain the people. If the least thing
happens to break in on the program, a
shout of accusations goes up, accusing
the management of intentions to cheat
the visitors. At the meet on the Fourth
the aviator objected to making a fight
on account of the wind, but the peo-
pie were OF the opinion, apparently.

amusement, which he did late in the
evening"

says the Hardin County Citizen. His

If the republicans do not travel in
the same direction. it follows as n
moral certainty that they will not all
arrive at the same destination" rea-
sons the Sioux City Journal. Speaking
generally. for instance. it is politically
important to the party in this state to
eject a majority OF the membership Of
the general assembly, as well, as the
governor"
Iowa is getting plenty of those mil
lion dollar rains" notes the Waterloo
Reporter. And the farmers will cash
in. too, next autumn"
The Mason City Times can see no
Occasion for the convention at Des
Moines to probe the republican sore by
any fight over resolutions of endorse
ment of this candidate or that candi-

HOLDING COUNTY OFFICE.
Humboldt Republican,

The Republican has repeatedly stated
that it believed county office was
curse to any man who had marketa BILE
ability. One does not have to delve
far into the county records to prove
this. Occasionally there Is an ex
ception. But ordinarily when young
man accepts county office, he finds
when he has finished his terms that he
could have accom- lished much more
in some other direction. The trouble
with county office. aside from the con-
slant drain on the purse that makes
the salary about half what It appears
in the records. is that just when you
have served long enough to be pro-
icfent and If you were working for
corporation you would get a substan-
tia1 raise Of wages or place in the
firm, the county drops you out Of en-
ployment. In other words on leaving
county office you have to start all over
again. The niche you carved for your
self or would have carved for your
self had you been in the employ OF a
corporation, is filled by another man.
You have to start at the bottom and
it takes longer to get where you were
when you entered county Office, than
1t would II you had never been out Of
touch with the business world.

POSTAL SAVINGS RULING.
Regulations State Deposits Are Not
Restricted to Patrons.

When Postal Savings departments
were originally established in post
offices, one of the regulations provided
that unless otherwise authorized by the
postmaster general, postmasters could
only accept deposits from persons. who
were patrons of the office, but this
regulation has been recently changed.
Under this change in the arrangement
1t will be possible. for instance, for the
clerk i'll charge of the Postal Savings
department at Augusta to receive d
deposit from anyone, who hasn't a de-
post in any other postal savings office,
regardless of whether the person is 4
patron of the Augusta office.
other provisions remain as follows;
Deposits will be accepted only from
individuals not from societies or firms,
nor will an account be opened in the
name of one person in trust for an
other but any one of years of age or
over may open an account in his 0r
her name and a married woman also,
free of control or influence of her hus-
band. No person. however. is per-
mitted to have more than one postal
savings account.
Unless there are excellent reasons
because of infirmity or equally good
reason, when it is proven that per-
son cannot appear personally to open
an account all depositors will be eX-
pected to appear in person. when open
ing their accounts. When person
who is already depositor is unable
to appear in person a subsequent de-
post may be sent by another person
or be mailed to the postofiice. Forms
Tor doing this are provided on request.
During the recent fire in the Ed
wards Manufacturing Cos. block, NO.
80. a depositors certificate of deposit
was burned but ON application at the
postoffice. and on making out the
proper affidavit he WAS able to obtain q
duplicate of the lost certificate.
Any woman having deposit in the
Postal Savings. and subsequently mar
rying, must present her certificate to
the postmaster for endorsement as
payable to her in her married name.

The one-mile amateur race, which
was held, Tuesday evening, at the Sc
lect Roller rink between Lawrence
Roderick of this city and Thomas Col
don of Houlton, was won by the latter
by about one-half a lap. Golden, al
though he has been out of the roller
racing business, for the past two or
three years, showed himself to be a
fast skater by defeating Roderick, as
Roderick is the champion one-miie
amateur roller skater of this city.
Golden took the lead at the start
and was gradually gaining on Rod

lap, and after that time the Houlton
