Des MONIES. Jan. 2.-There. are new
faces at some of the desks at 4the state
house. not very many. but at very i'm
portant posts.
Tomorrow there will be missed some
very familiar faces from the work in
or about the state house. 1t is a part
OF the periodic house cleaning. ABOUT
which much is heard; but of q truth
not one of those who is to go away
but that served the state we'll, much
better than will ever be appreciated
by those who know so little of the
states affairs.
Two officials in major state positions
who will today lay down official life
and retire will leave behind them rec
ords Of strict integrity and earnest de-
votion to duty that will stand for time
IS examples for their successors. These
are the state treasurer and the secre-
tary Of state.
Hayward's Fine Record.
William C. Hayward, six years as
secretary Of state. stepped into office
from the state senate. where he had
served as the senator from Scott in
five successive general assemblies. He
was known in the senate as business
man quite capable of grasping every
detail of business in public life. He d4-
termined when he went into the office
of secretary to organize and conduct
that Office strictly as a business coi-
Germ for the transaction of the bust
ness OF the state. He had had a varied
career, ranging all the way from coun-
try newspaper editor and rural school
teacher to grain and lumber merchant.
He applied all his experience to the
tasks before him and ne has made
good. There is not anywhere any force
of employees engaged in business or
otherwise more competent and ener-
getic than the office force Of the secre-
tary Of state. They keynote of his office
has been that everything shall be alb
solutely right. And it is big busk
ness. constantly growing and expand
ing, and Secretary Hayward has
helped in that growth.
Morrow Faithful Official.
William w. Morrow, who leaves the
office Of treasurer of state after six
state legislature serving two sessions
in the house from Union county. But
he had a still wider and more valuable
experience on the directory board Of
the department of agriculture and as
president Of the board Of agriculture.
He is a farmer, one Of the business men
kind of farmers, who uses his head as
well as his hands and his fine farm
near Alton to which he returns is said
to be model In all fairness it can
be said that being state treasurer is
no: as complicated an affair as that
Of holding either Of the other large
state offices, but Mr.. Morrow flleo
every duty with faithfulness and the
millions of dollars that passed thru the
Office during his incumbency have all
been accounted for. He has known no
politics In office-only that his office
force shall be efficient and do its duty.
1t has been, however, as members OF
the state executive council, that both
Hayward and Morrow have been es-
pecially valuable men for the state of
Iowa. There Is a vast amount of work
to be done on this council and it re-
quires good business judgment. The
council is the business body of the
state, the governing board in the alb
sence of the legislature, and these two
men have been especially worthy men,
bers of that body.
shsrwin and MecIain Retire.
Another change which. takes place
today removes from public life two
eminent judges-Sherwin and McClain.
John c. Sherwin Is a very much
loved man. He has been one Of the
always quiet ones on the supreme
bench. He has plodded along, doing
his duty and the lawyers say that no
more faithful member Of the court has
sat on the bench for a long time. His
decisions will bear study. And he was
always so kind and courteous to those
who come before the court or those
who had business with the court. that
he will long be kindly remembered.
Emlin McClain has been the school,
master of the bench. He was trans
ferred from the law department Of the
university to the bench. He will be
missed, but probably he will again APP
pear instructing Iowa young men in
the principles of law.
Jamieson's Long Service.
The one who has longest been in a
state position which he now relin-
quishes is John JAMESON. deputy sec
rotary Of state. John has been in that !:
