IOWA PUPIL
RANKING HIGH
AS SPOILERS
State Superintendent De-
yoe Says the State is in
the Front Rank in Spell
ing by Children.
ORA WILLIAMS.l ]


Des Moines, Jan. There is per-
haps no state in the union where more
has been done to improve TIE spelling
ability of the young people then in
Iowa" So declared State Superin-
tendent A. NJ. Deyoe today when his
attention was called to very flatter-
ing eulogy in local paper OF the edu-
cational department OF the state OF
Washington based on the theory that
in that state they have just discovered
something new and have gone to work
to drill the students In spelling.
The incident shows how prone We
are to look afar for the good things
and overlook the still better at home.
"In the past five years." continued
Mr.. Deyoe, at has become almost a
fad with Iowa teachers to bear down
heavy on spelling. There was an I'M
preston out that our pupils In Iowa
were poor spoilers. There probably
had been neglect Of this important
branch of education. But in every
county OF Iowa there has been in re-
cent years special effort made by
the county superintendents. and the
teachers have responded nobly, to see
to it that every pupil In the schools
learn how to spell. Oral spelling Is
common. The children are drilled In
various ways in spelling and it Ger.
tainly can be said that in this matter
Iowa has taken front rank"
This determination that Iowa boys
and girls shall know how to spell is
not confined to the rural schools, but
'it Is all through the town and city
grades. In Des Moines, for instance.
there is special work in spelling in all
the grades and matches between the
different schools of like grade, and
each wear certificates are issued to the
pupils standing highest tn the different
grades. 1t has been a great stimulus
to the art of spelling. and the time IS
not far distant when Des Moines young
people will be good spoilers.
lgGIt Is asserted that a similar system
is followed in most OF the cities Of the
state and that it is heartily welcomed
|by the school patrons as a wise re.
turn to the older methods Of imparting
education
Rural Saloons Gone.

Reorganization in Both
Houses Promises Fight
Between Progressive and
Reactionary Elements.
IBY e. II. HANSON.

Washington. D. c., Jan. L. That
there will be a seniority fight in
earnest between the progressive and
reactiCnary democrats seems certain
from the announcement of Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia that he was
ready to take up the fight in behalf OF
the younger men.
Although he Is comparatively baby
in the senate, Senator Smith is one OF
the most experienced public officials
in Washington. He sprang to promi
nence back in the Cleveland regime
when he was made secretary of the in
terror. He was a very young man then
and many thought he had reached his
highest mark. However, he has kept
apace Of the times and as governor OF
Georgia several terms and as United
States senator from that state he has
always been in the forefront of prog
ress.
Senator Smiths announcement fol
lowed the editorial in The Commonel
in which w. j. Bryan pointed out that
for the good Of the democratic party
some of the older men should ster
aside for some of the younger.
| OCNdU SOUHTSSS. 4
The trouble In the democratic camp
can be traced back to the fifty-ninth
congress which came in with Roose
velt's second inauguration. The land
slide that year was so complete that
with the exception of few Tammany
congressman and scattering demo
crat here and there through the north
the entire house was composed Of re
publicans Nearly all of the retiring
democratic senators from northern
states were beaten and the republi
cans had majority never before helG
by any party in congress.
Two years later the democrats be
gan to regain some of the lost ground
and some very able men entered the
house from the north. Under the
seniority custom, however, these mer
had to accept inferior places to the
southerners who survived before anC
under Cannonism the southerners were
given all the choice committee places
because Uncle Joe and his lieutenant!
did not care to help any northern
democrats except Tammany men
These latter returned the favors the,
received from Uncle Joe at the tim,
Of the memorable rules fight whel
they prevented the combination o
progressive republicans and demo
Gratis from driving him from his sea
as speaker of the house.
One factor in the success Of the plal
to do away with the old seniority rul,
| is the date Of the opening Of the spe
cial session which the president-elec
| will call Immediately after his In
Iauguration.

Past Twelve Months in Ot-
tumwa Accomplished
Much in a Commercial
Way; Big improvements.
MORE PROMISED
FOR PRESENT YEAR
Progressive Spirit Charac-
terized Numerous Activ-
tiles Of Boosters; New
Buildings Added.

Ottumwa and her citizens have writ.
ten into history another eventful year
in numerous ways. Progress has been
the characterizing spirit that has pre-
vailed in 1912 and so numerous are
the avenues of progress that one finds
1t difficult to select the first one to
follow. The numerous boosters have
moved as one man in accomplishing
that which they sought and In many
ways has this united effort found
fruit. Capital has been found to in
vest more freely than In the past IN
home enterprises accomplishing the
two-fold end of adding to the city in
new buildings and furnishing to the
laboring men and artisans employment
at good wages. Foremost in the list
of monuments to Ottumwa's enter.
prise during the year 1912 can be set
forth the following:
Completion of federal building and
postoff1ce.
Completion OF st. Joseph's academy
and convent. T..
New c. B. & @. freight house.
New J. G. Hutchison & Co., whole
sale grocery house.
New J. w. Edgerly & Co., wholesale
drug house.
New Harper & McIntlre Co, whole
fsafa hardware house. M ,- ,s
New garage Of the Ottumwa Auto
mobile Co.
Rebuilding of water gas plant
Installation OF stoker system al
power plant and extension of Court
Hill line of the Ottumwa Railway &
Light Co.
Extension of water and gas mains.
In addition to the above practically
every manufacturing plant in the city
has added greatly to its equipment
and power of operation. Particularly
is this true Of John Morrell & Co.,
which erected new killing house and
smaller structures, and the Dain
Co.. which installed
electric power for driving its machines
ana added small buildings to it's al
ready immense plant.
NUMEROUS Improvements to the
stores in the retail district have also
been made, and the installing of elec-
trio display signs have served greatly
to increase the attractiveness of the
business portion Of the city.
And the men who have had a part
in this progress of Ottuuwa Join as a
unit in extending the hearty New
Years wish to the city that 1913 will

every city come reports that many
packages bore ordinary postage stamps
instead of the distinctive parcel post
