A TRAVELLING MANS sill.

An attempt will be made to get an
absent travellers" law thru the next
legislature. That means that those
whose business inpera lively demands
their absence from home on election
day may by conforming with legal re :
quirements cast their vote by mail, or
by such other method of getting it into
the hands of the election board as the
law shall provide
There seems TO be no valid objeec-
ton to urge against the proposed privi-
lege. No voter should be disfranchised
If by any safe and proper method he
may be able to cast his vote.
The bill is primarily for the benefit
OF that large class of voters. travelling
men. AS it stands the travelling man
who must go is disSranchised. Others
must make long trips and night rides
in order to vote. Those who are able
to stay over until Tuesday morning
lose day. If there is way out of
this manifest annoyance which amounts
to injustice, the general public will ap-
prove the law that provides for it.

His Is peculiar situation. Two

and law enforcer whose personal dig

1t is a good job. worth a good mans

big enough to attract the services o.
men who can afford to take il without
worrying whether they are reelected

hoodoo jobs until somebody big enough
to break the hoodoo came along.

washing all the dirt out. It takes q
lot Of elbow grease even with wash
ing machine and ironing is hard work,
to say nothing of the heat that has to
be endured in the process. Wash days
on the farm used to be awful days.
They may be better now, but probably
not much In districts where they have
cooperative creameries the establish
ment Of cooperative laundries in con-
nection has already been accomplished
in many places. The men who gather
the cream also gather the washing. In
districts where they have no such
creameries it might still be possible
to have the washing done co-operative-
ly. With the rural parcel mails the
goods might be sent IN that manner.
In laundry the work Is all done by
machinery. There is no excuse for wo-
men doing that heavy work by hand in
this dav and age of the world. The
farmers might as well continue to plant
their corn by hand. Planting corn by
hand is easier than hand washing.
From the standpoint Of economy, we
believe that If the farmers wives de-
voted the time spent on washing and
ironing to other things, to the hennery.
for instance, they would make moro
than enough extra to pay for the wash
ing. AS civilization spreads we will
have more and more of such work done
by machinery and comparatively. The
farmers wives are entitled to the first
consideration in this matter. We be-
lieve the average farmers wife would
rather get rid OF the drudgery Of wash
ing and ironing than have the right Of
the ballot conferred on her by the next
legislature.

BRING on The EVIDENCE.

1t is altogether too early in the de-
velopment OF public knowledge Of the
row between the board of education
and the head Of the state university
for decision and verdict. The trouble
is not to be settled off-hand by saying
that the president Of the university is
too small for his JOB or that the crea-
ton Of the educational board was
mistake. Also il is we'll to abstain for
partisanship either of the board or the
eInanating from either side or directed
at either are TO be proved before they
are given credibility and consideration.
In short the thing for Iowa to do is
to sit as judicially as may be to hear
the facts and the evidence. The state
university is much more to the state
than the board and its membership and
notions of authority OF the president
and his dignity.
Open the whole matter up to pub
Lefty. Let the people who send their
sons and daughters to the school know
all the facts. If the president lacks
the capacity TO preside over the uni
versity let II be shown in evidence. If
the board Is unwieldy, poor selection
as regards its membership, If it or any
of its individual members have been
guilty Of embarrassing the manage
~, no hnh ~
clients or the service Of private ends
let it be stablished by direct and cor
roborative evidence.
The fight between Bowman and the
board is comparatively a small mat
ter The state can get along in very
fair fashion without any Of them. 1t
needs the university and needs it as
great educational institution, not as
theater for petty politics, personal
Quarrels, private feuds and jealousies
and peanut policies. The schools the
thing
If this row rs gone into and opened
UP with a sincere purpose to straighten
things out in the interest Of the school
and educational interests in general
and consistently with the dignity and
purpose OF the state 1t will turn out
more TO advantage than otherwise. A

Exposition Of weaknesses Is the
way to strength and reform 1t is

sity had a complete going over and is

there are other reasons.

THE "HO0DOO JOB"

The Sioux City Journal refers to the
office of commissioner of public safety
in that town as "hoodoo job" and
traces the political losses of the men
who have held it.
Why should the ommissionership OF
public safety be ''hoodoo job in any
town? 1t would be an enlightening
and valuable addition to it's note Of
assertion were the Journal to analyze
fully the causes and reason in Sioux
City.
The com craftsmanship referred to is
a hard one to fill. 1t takes real man,
one with purposeful sense of re-
sponsibility and who desires more to
run his office up to his own under
standing Of it's duties than to be RE-
elected to the same or q higher office.

AN IMPOSSIBLE ROAD.

IDes Moines Register and Leader.]
The muddle in which the state board
of education has again involved the
university at Iowa City must newt
ably turn public attention to the con-
stitution Of the board and revive the
feeling prevalent when the board was
created that while there is much to be
said in favor OF a single board Of edu-
cation, there is but little TO be said In
favor of the board as Senator Whipple
planned it.
Just why Senator Wh:pple should
have been so insistent upon Il double
headed board. a larger body giving
intermittent service, and smaller
body none, had never been explained.
1t was that very organization that was
most complained about In the board of
control Of the college at Ames and the
board of regents of the university,
which the new board was to supplant.
But whatever the explanation. such
was the plan proposed. and such was
the plan accepted by the legislature.
The result has been just what any
body might have foreseen it would
be, the very evils Of administration
have been perpetuated that had fur
nished the original cause for COM
plant.
1t is not personal criticism Of
the members Of the present board to
say that with few exceptions. they
have given but little intimate atten-
ton to the management Of the three
state schools. They are all Of them
men of business affairs, and they could
not, II they would, meeting as seldom
as they do, be sufficiently well in
formed to act intelligently in the de-
tails Of college administration. few
members have assumed the RESPONSE
bilities Of the whole board. which was
the complaint lodged against the old
board. 80
1t Is too early yet to pass final
opinion with regard &c the troubles
that have led to the resignation OF
President Bowman. 1t is not too early
to express the opinion, however, that
If President Bowman has failed at the
point where he Is alleged to have
failed, a board of education. acting
with the care that such q board ought
to exercise, would not have secured
President Bowman in the first place.
It was the insistence with which GER
tain members of the board demanded
the election Of President Bowman fol-
lowed by a deadly opposition the mo-
ment President Bowman began to de-
mand the respect to which his posi-
ton entitled him that creates the
widespread impression that it is not
the weakness of the president but an
unexpected show Of Independence that
has led to his deposition.
In any event. whatever the final con-
clusion may be with regard to Presi-
dent Bowman and his work, now Is
the time to come to a final conclusion

After viewing William H. Taft at
short range for the greater part OF a
week. one may appropriately feiicitate
him upon the jaunty good taste with
which he plays the role of ex-presi-
dent This is not to say that closer
observation of his personality tends 10
create AN impression that he was in
harmony with the spirit Of the times
when he was president. but it is some
thing to feel that he is consistent in
his fidelity to the ideas he held when
in the White House.
At short range Private Citizen Taft
is impressive as a type Of man whose
training has been largely on the bench
and who consequently holds precedent
in religious respect. The consistency
and frankness with which he expresses
his high regard for the Invaluable
m memories go far in accounting for his
attitude while in office and emphasize
the perfect propriety of his retirement.
Truly Mr.. Taft is not politician but
in view of his consistency and his
broad good nature he may safely be
rated as a most successful ex-president.

What It IL difficult to see Is why

lance by the authorities. 1t Is not
made to deprive them Of legitimate
sport. It is made in their interest. 1t
IL intended to protect the game during

there shall be more ducks and geese
