been sufficient time almost every pro-
gressire in the county would have
signed The petitions were legally
and lawfully filed with the county
clerk and ordered on the ballot. The
Kahoka Gazette-Herald, democratic
paper, whose motives all through the
campaign have been questionable with
regard to the progressiyes, raised an
awful howl over the filing of the pc
titions, and takes over column IN
the current issue to vent its spite on
these good men who unsolicited went
over the county and secured the sig

be SO mad is apparent to almost
everybody. The blow hit the G. H.

a question we are unable to answer.

Fort Madison Gem City: In calling
the attention OF the voters Of Lee
county to the candidacy of E. C. Lynn
of Donnellson, for the Office of county
superintendent of schools, We wish to
remind all voters that this is one of
flee which should not be decided on
political lines. Managing schools is
a profession, and the voter should
vote for the candidate who has done

The ideal superintendent must be
well qualified; he must possess the
right temperament, and he must be
able to lead In all the educational
affairs in the county. As to ouaIifi-
cations, Mr.. Lynn has had more train.
Ing and holds a higher grade of Ger
tificate and better papers than any
other superintendent that Lee county
has had for many years During the
past fifteen years, he has had success
full experience in every phase OF
school work, and for the past nine
years he has made a special study OF
the agricultural conditions of Lee
county. and has not hesitated to lend
a hand TO any cause that meant bet.
ter education in Lee county. During
the years that 3ir Lynn acted as sun
erintendent, he gave the best of ser.
vice. The teachers OF the county gave
him loyal support The school off
GERS depended on him largely in the
selection OF teachers and for advice
in all matters pertaining to schools
and school laws The school children
Of the county are his personal friends
Their interests are his interests ant
he has always been tireIess in his eff
forts to secure for them every pos
sfDle educational advantage.
Mr.. Lynn stands for election o,
his successful record as a teache
and superintendent The patrons 0
the schools will do well to cons.de
the selection OF county superinten
dent very carefully and, when record
qualifications. and general ability ar
taken into consideration, We are sur
that g. C. Lynn will receive larg

WHEN i WAS A BOY.

Up In the attic where | slept
When was q boy. a little boy.
In through the lattice the moonlight
cerpt.
Bringing tide Of dreams that swept
Over the low, red trundie-bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and
seek
with the dimples on each sun
Drowned cheek
When was boy. little boy,
And oh, the dreams-the dreams
dreamed
When / was a boy, little boy,
For the grace that through the lattice
streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy.
And to bring to me glimpses OF times
TO be
Where manhood's clarion seemed to
call
when / was a boy, a little boy!
I'd like to sleep where used to sleep
When was boy, a little boy.
i For in at the lattice the moon would
peep,
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years
away
From the heart that Is weary and
faint today;
And those dreams should give me-
back again
The peace have never known since
then,
When was boy. a little boy!

EPIDEMIC DISEASES AND PUBLIC
tTX

Communities in which epidemic dis
eases prevail sometimes attempt to
conceal the facts. This short-sighted
policy is adopted under the erroneous
idea that concealment viii do the
community no harm and will prevent
damage to business and other inter
ests, but that knowledge of an cpl
demic VIII reflect on the community
In various injurious ways. Buffalo
and Los Angeles, during the past
summer, have had epidemics of polio
myelitis: notwithstanding the unsat-
isfactory experience of San francisco
few years ago il regard to the con-
cealment of plague, few misguided
business men. politicians, and, unfor.
tunateiy. a few physicians, opposed
the efforts of the health departments
in prompt suppressing the epidemic,
wishing to resort TO the old exploded
method of concealment of conditions
Concerning this, Public Health Re
ports OF September 20 has the follow
ing comment:
During the course of the out.
breaks in botl Los Angeles and But
falo there was an effort on the part
OF certain residents to belittle the i'm
portance of epidemics and the active
measures being taken by the health
/ departments. with especial reference
| to the publicity being given regard
| ing the presence of the disease and
| the number of cases occurring. How
ever, in neither case did this prove a
material embarrassment to the health
authorities. who received the earnest
support of both the practicing physi
clans and the citizens in general.
THE impression that publicity re
garding such matters injure municipal
interests is based on a fallacy. The
existence of an epidemic cannot be
concealed very long. and the absence
of frankness in regard to the situation
under these conditions produces a
fear and suspicion that it takes some
time to overcome.
There is nothing that inspires so
much confidence In the ability of a
community to cope with a sanitary
problem as frankness and honesty at
all times in stating existing condi-
tons. It shows that the community
has the situation In hand and that I.
has sufficient confidence not to be
afraid to inform others as to what is
going on. The ethics Of concealment
tof epidemic conditions ia 4 courea
/ indefensible.'

THE LEGALITY OF 4
 ND MEETING LAW

new and somewhat unusual regu-
 lation for the sale of Intoxicating H.
 quors has recently been put into ef- feet in Tacoma, Wash. m the form of
 an ordinance which prohibits treat
 ing. Much has been said of late
 years, pro and con on the question
 of the "no-treating" plan. and the
 cOnstitutionality and reasonabIeness
 Of such regulation has been Ques-
 toned. Although this time-worn GUS
 tom of treating has been going on
 from time immemorial, dating back
 10 the first ale houses and tippling
 houses in existence. it Is only recent
 ly brought about probably by the
 awakening conscience Of the race,
 that the habit of treating has become
 recognized as a source from which
 many of the evils Of the liquor traffic
 flow, and this is no trivial matter to
 be passed over without a sober re
 hection, for the statistics Of every
 state in this Union show a greater
 amount Of crime and misery attrib-
 utable to the use of ardent liquors
 drunk at saloons than to any other
 Source By those who favCT the TO-
 treating plan it is argued that much
 of this evil would be thereby abated.
 for less liquors would be drunk if
 each man bought his own. and as a result there would be less disorderly conduct. Is such a regulation valid? The precise question is answered in
 City of Tacoma Y. Keisel. 124 Pacific Reporter. l27, by the Supreme Court of Washington. The court first holds that under the power granted to the city 10 regulate" which implies some degree of restraint and prohibition. this ordinance, which works a partial prohibition is valid Tn considering the question of it's reasonableness the court points out the reason for the law. enacted by virtue of the power given 10 regulate that specific busi- ness, and the general power to make ! regulations for the preservation of ! public morality, and concludes that [ the decision is controlling upon the | courts unless the rcasonableness of ! the ordinance is free from doubt. But f it is argued that treating is an act of i hospitality which has always been exercised by a free people. and is right Of the purchaser of liquor not i to be prohibited. The court answers J this contention: Tn our opinion it is
 of no weight whatever in support of a practice which becomes recognized as source of evil and a menace to public morality and good order. Just as the right to engage in the liquor | traffic is not an inherent right in
 any citizen, neither is it an inherent right in ary citizen 10 treat another | in a licensed saloon which is under the control of the police power being exercised oy a municipality, as in this
 case Whatever the right of the citi-
 zen may be elsewhere, he has no inner ent right even to buy liquor at such a place. The ordinance Is upheld.

OKLAHOMA CAPITAL FIGHT

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Oct % Almost overshadowiug the presiden- tial contest in point of interest for Oklahomaps is the state capital fight which will be settled by vote of the people in the election one week from today. Guthrie is putting up the fight of her life to recover the prize lost two years ago. while Oklahoma City is waging a stste-wide campaign to retain the capital.
 Guthrie obtained the initiation of a proposed amendment to the state constitution making that city the per nanent capital of tho state. This amendment will be voted on next Tuesday If Guthrie wins there will he little chance Of the capital being moved again, as the matter of obtain ing an amendment to the constitution is difficult For the same reason. how ever. it is generally conceded that the former capital has great odds to overcome if it wins against Oklahoma City.
