POLITICAL GosslPs

When one class OF people has any.
thing to say, It has become largely
the custom to make . political issue
out Of II instead OF . friendly discus'

Of newspaper and to argue It be-
fore jury instead of to settle It in
the higher courts of Common Sense
As . result, political asitators, polit.
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissensicn, selfishness, In
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
In public affairs, for when the low
damp, murky atmosphere Of misun
derstanding envelopes public thought

We have too many self-appointed

REAPPOINTING Mr.. cowLES.


Governor Clarke is being urged by
several newspapers to re-appoint
Gardner Cowles to the state board Of
education, as a vocational nominee.
The Herald believes that he would
make serious mistake to do so. This
paper was among the many that gave
a cordial endorsement TO Mr.. Cowles
when he was nominated. but the senate
refused to confirm him, and to name
him after the adjournment of the legiS-
lature would be TO fiout the law
That the legislature was Influenced
by petty consideration does not alter
the case. Appointments by the gov
ernor are subject to approval of the
state senate. 1t Is a wise restriction,
although capable Of abuse. The law
does not presume that when man has
been rejected by the senate, the will
of that body may be overridden thru
the governors power to fill vacancies
that occur during legislative vacations.
If appointed under such circum-
stances Mr.. Cowles would undoubt-
edly decline to serve, for he is a man
of honor.

GREATER THAN THOMPSON'S.

The fact that the children of Frank
aforetime president OF the
Pennsylvania railroad. have set aside
g part of their inheritance from their
fathers estate TO the education of chill
dren Of employees of that company, has
evoked much favorable comment and
praise from the newspapers. Two boys
each year are sent TO college by the
Thompson fund.
Now that is a fine use for some Of
Thompson's money and deserving of
public comment and praise. But 1t
isn't an uncommon thing by any means.
On the contrary to those who know
something Of the good will and helpful
ness which is in operation all around
us it is not so infrequent as to cause
widespread publicity and bring no a
shower Of superlative adjectives. This
newspaper has in mind without recapit-
ulation a half dozen persons whose
money is helping not only boys but
girls thru a college course right in this
neighborhood. The list could De ex-
tended upon reflection and investiga-
ton very largely. For assistance to
worthy students is common thing.
There are those who lend and who give
and who help in every community. not
as memorial. or thru feeling that
those assisted have helped earn the
money but because of a true spirit Of
helpfulness. And they would properly
and strenuously object to being ad-
vertised as philanthropists.
The fact is that the student of pur-
pose and proper habits and with capac-
ity sufficient TO impress can have a
college education if he chooses. Moth
ing can keep him from it but i'll health
or accident if his purpose holds and
he, or she, is willing TO work and wait
for it.
If the benefactors Of college students
the persons who come to the assistance
Of the worthy student were to be
brought together no Billy Sunday tab
ernacle would hold them.
Iowa is full OF such benefactors who
keep still mouths OF their kindness. If
the banks were to make public a list
Of the notes they hold with the re-
sponsible signatures Of those who help
college students on them the Thompson
bequest would fade into comparative
insignifcance. Not that it is insignid-
cant, but great. It is not however,
unique; neither does it measure up to
those secret benefactions which are
the essence Of true helpfulness and a
sense of duty and which lay no claim
upon public regard nor publish the viz
tues Of any living or dead.
We are prone to see greatness afar.
If we would look about US we would
find how often we fail to appreciate the

"Macquerel'' is French for those most

of the guardians Of public peace and
morals OF Sioux City that these para

work out the sentence.
Why not again seek the statutes Of
those creatures and a ten day Jail

penitentiary sentence to begin with
and invoke the power Of the state. So
far the Iowa statutes have been the
only cleansing influence on that city as
observed from the outside. Why not

state prisons?
1t illustrates the viewpoint Of the
average police force which has been
content to grind the daily srist of such
criminals thru the hand mill of the
police courts, taking a toll OF SO and
costs and grinding the same grist over
and over again day after day.
1t isn't enough to drive such men out

THE AUTO PLATE BUSINESS.
5Humho,a, Republican,

If there could be more bunglesome
method of distributing anto plates than
is now in use. we presume II Wouio
have been adopted. If there could have
been designed more hideous plate
than the 1915 scarlet fever signs that
adorn the autos, we presume 1t would
have been selected. Really. this auto
number business is monument to
Iowa's stupidity. Why could not lib
eral supply of auto plates be shipped
to the county auditor of each county,
charged to him. and let him distribute
to applicants, renting for the number
sold each week, and returning unsoid
numbers. Why couldn't the plate be
of handsome design, with the year in
prominent figures. instead of designat-
ing the year by glazing color.
Under the present system no auto
owner can even guess when his num-
Der will arrive. In Humboldt county q
father and son ordered auto numbers.
The father sent in his order one day
ahead OF the son. The son received his
number two weeks ago and has been
running his car. while the father Ii
compelled to still keep his car in stor-
age There seems to be no system at
the state headquarters that makes auto
number distributions. A big per cent
of the auto drivers are running on last
years numbers. holding receipts from
the state authorities showing that they
have paid for their 1915 numbers.
And these receipts are not good. Ihey
do not insure your freedom from arrest.
BY all means revise the auto num-
Der business of the state. Place the
numbers with the county auditors, save
trouble, transportation and delay. Re
wise the numbers improving their de-
sign and construction. Make them
thing of beauty instead Of an offense to
the eye.

somewhat tartly takes issue with the
Cedar Rapids Republicans statement
that Lillian Russell was born in Scott
county. 1t lets it be known that she
was born in Clinton, giving street and
number to prove 1t. And Clinton Is
proud of it.
Incidentally. the controversy is re-
mindful of the fact that Iowa in its
day has produced It's full share of
celebrities.
