Cecil SpringRice from Washington,

suggested that the British government

successor.

NEW GARFIELD s,.4oo,

The following editorial appeared in
The Daily Gate City December 20,
1912, and is republished as pertinent
to a very important matter that
comes up for decision of the voters
the latter part of the present month:
When asked what was wrong with
the Garfield school building we'll in
formed man said: Everything is
wrong with it, That about fits the
case. There is no .ega1 act prevent
ing the use of an old obsolete three
story school building hut there is a

school purposes. but s>ould anything

And the Garfield school is no worse
than some others, but start must be

An Absentee Voters, Law.

| Waterloo Times-Tribune: While
some of the travelling statesmen insist
that the plan to have adopted in iowa
an absentee voters law, is a scheme
of the hotel men, they can not deny
1.-THE benefits that would accrue from
adoption of such law in Iowa.
1t Is true that no organization of
| travelling men has taken up the work,
but hundreds of Iowa travelling men
are working for such proposed law.
| The hotel men may also be favorable
to such law but surely, not on sell
| fish grounds-not because they would
gain a dollar or two every two years.
1t costs, SO the estimate runs, $780,
900 each election time, expenses of
travelling men to and from their home
cities. The saving Of such sum
would be accomplished; but that
would not be the only benefit. There
are thousands of men who can not
get home without great inconvenience
and great expense. They are disfran-
chised
! 1t is not, however, alone for COM
mercial travellers that this law is pro-
posed. 1t is for railway men and all
citizens who may be away from their
homes on election day. The voter
would call at the polls in any city,
ask for an absentee voters ballot;
| sign and acknowledge the proper pa
lpers certifying as to his residence and
his right to participate in the cleo
ton. He marks his ballot 1t goes to
/ the county clerk in the county where
the voting takes place and is forward
ed to his home county, to be canvass
ed with the other votes by the proper
officers
Several years ago such law was
enacted in Kansas. 1t was at first
made to include only railroad men.
but, as this conferred special priyil-
Ieges, the law was declared unconstitu-
tional. Afterwards a law was passed
to grant this privilege to all persons
away from home on election day
And this law is operative today. At
the last election 5000 Kansas men
took advantage OF it's provisions If
5000 men are away frcm home in
Kansas on election day and are adj
vantaged by such law, 5000 would
be none too few by way of estimate
for Iowa.
No doubt the Iowa assembly. when
1T meets January next, will be favored
with petition asking for the passage
of an absentee voters bill of some
proportions. There is no reason, we
can see, why such law should not
be enacted, and many reasons why it
should be adopted in this state. 1t
harms no man who desires to run
home for election day and helps all
men who feel unable to lose the time.
And surely no Iowan wants to deny
any other Iowan every right to partici-
pate in elections

GOV CLARKE AND KEokuK.

From Hazen 1. Sawyer. who Is
chairman of the water power celebra-
ttion committee, and who with other
Des Moines last Thursday requesting
the presence of the Iowa governor in
| this city tomorrow to meet Governor
Elect Dunn of Illinois and Governor
Elect Majors of Missouri, it is learned
| that Governor Clarke made a ersonal
sacrifice to meet the request of the
| Iowa people. Governor Clarke's only
son is to be married Tuesday of this
week and prenuptial dinner had
been arranged for Monday evening at
| the home OF the governor for his son
fans, bride-to-be. When Governor
Clarke LETT his home to go to Des
Moines his son said to him: Father,
don't let anything keep you away
from home Monday And the father
assured his son that he would be at
the wedding dinner And then what
happened? The Keokuk and Burling-
ton and Fort Madison committees put
1.-THE important question of the water
power celebration up to the governor.
He told the committee of the domestic
situation and the committee was ST.
lent. Governor Clarke relieved the
situation himself by accepting the
committees invitation and he will
meet Governor-Elect Dunn in this city
tomorrow.
This is a real personal sacrifice to
Governor Clarke. It Is a sacrifice of
a nature that many men would refuse
to make. But Governor Clarke is not
unacquainted with tie wafer power

ests of the state OF Iowa In fact, dur

Tn. Parcels Post.

New York Journal: Prosperity is
not to be gained by fighting against
the parcels post or by helping the
small storekeper to fight the great
mail order house.
You must help the small storekeep-
er to beat the great mail order house
with the aid of the parcels post.
Remember that every storekeeper,
once the parcels post starts. is HIM
self the center of a parcels post zone,
which he will control.
1t will do the big mail order house
no good to establish department in
each state, since the merchant in his
own zone will be able to distribute
his goods under the most advantage
Gus possible circumstances.
Let the merchant take all the bust
ness he can get. And let the local
editor take all the advertising he can
get including that of the big mail
order houses if they choose to adver-
tise.
No man ever helped himself or
helped another by excluding business,
or refusing any man, big or little, a
fair chance.
The editor has no right to refuse
advertising that is honest and proper.
| No small storekeeper has right to
ask that i. be excluded.
/ The business of the storekeeper is
f,, ri,
order house can give, and he can dc
that now that the parcels post gives
him the power to deliver.
The parcels post is here. This
newspaper has predicted always that
/ it would come soon 1t is not perfect
by any means. The local editors and
the local storekeepers must use their
influence to see that it is made per
feet.
