MAILING OR MACY!

A man who introduces himself as
John r Mailing was in town yester-
day conducting peculiar campaign
against woman suffrage. 1t appears
that Mr. Mailing hade a more or less
extensive canvass of principal person
ages Of the city assuring them OF the
disastrous effects of woman suffrage
upon the state Of Colorado and in one
case at least supporting his represen-
tations by a letter alleged TO have been
written by Frank N Briggs, promi-
nent banker OF Denver. 1t is stated
that this Mr. Mailing is following Mrs.
Gait from place to place in gumshoe
campaign calculated as far as may De
10 minimize her work and influence for
suffrage.
In the first place the campaign as
conducted by Mr.. Mailing is suggesrive;
why s 1t necessary for Mr.. Mailing to
spend so much time and energy "sav-
ing" Iowa while opportunity presents
ilIimitabIe field for activity against
reform In Colorado: why II he is anxious
to prevent disaster does he not ask 70 d.
vide the time at the Gait meeting
where he might have spoken 10 a
thousand people instead OF whispering
20 a. dozen yesterday? Is Mr.. Mailing
a true altruist spending his own time
and his own money? II not who is pay
ing Mr.. Mailing and maintaining the
considerable expense to which he is
putting himself or being put by those
who do pay? And who would pay to
prevent women voting and why? All
these questions naturally suggest
themselves as proper to be asked OF
Mr.. Mailing and important for him to
answer. -..
Moreover, there seems to be a very
plain differences between Maling ana the
man whose letter he shows--F,rank n
Briggs. the Denver banker. Mr.. Briggs

Mr.. H0YT'S CANDIDACY.

e. Fl. Hoyt of Manchester. candi-
date before the republican primary for
state treasurer, was in Marshalltown
last evening for a brief visit among
friends and incidentally looking over
the ground as 10 his candidacy.
Mr.. Hcyt conveys the impression OF
a very capable and energetic man. one
who is full size for the office he Graves.
He is of the treasurer type, pleasant
sensible, competent and successful
business man with financial training
whose claim to the consideration of the
voters seems TO be we'll established.
The treasurers office is one of those
which is likely to receive too slight
consideration IN a campaign where in
terest centers on the governorship. It
is no less a most Important office and
intimately connected with the prob
lens Of taxation valuation. etc. II IS
not an office to he left to the handling
Of deputy. whether thru the incom-
petenCe or incapacity of the incun-
bent. Mr.. Hoy1 is in perfect health of
the right age, AZ, and gives an I'M
preston of physical and mental
capacity Joined with the proper train
ing to make both effective in the office
of treasurer.
Voters should give Mr.. Hoyt's can
djdacy thoughtful attention.

SPRING FEVER.

Spring fever is a successful im!ta

snow is off the ground. 1t often
strikes in at the busiest season Of the
year when man should be full of Ja-
maica ginger and cayenne pepper and
converts his legs into so much orna-
mental shruhbery.
Spring fever is caused by a feeling
Of deep lassitude spreading over the
system and refusing to yield to argu-
ment. Many a man has been overcome
by spring fever on a warm sunny day
at the very time when he ought to be
cording up dress goods in the base
ment or washing the front windows,
and has been totally incapacftated for
work 1t requires strong will power
to throw off an attack of the spring
fever which has secured a good hold.
and thousands Of victims find it nee
essary TO go to the golf links in order
to be properly treated.
Some people have spring fever
harder than others and after few
years become subject to violent at
lacks whenever confronted with a
days work. It is a dreary sight TO see
a robust young husband starting out
on the matrimonial sea equipped with
energy and go shirts, only &c succuEsh

frage on the ground Of justice and
equity. When l was a newspaper edi-
| tor / did all could to bring about the
acknowledgements OF Colorado women
and believe In suffrage as much today
las I ever did. If Mr.. Mailing has said
| the bankers OF Colorado are against
suffrage he does not express my views.
The Denver Post in the news story
from which the above interview is
| taken says:
At the request OF The Post the
Cha mher of Commerce has agreed to
print and distribute circulars in Iowa
carrying the true story OF Colorado
prosperity and we'll being under a gov
ernment where women as well as men
vote and which being based on facts
and figures taken from government
census reports and reports of local con-
Germs may go far to nullify the state
ments made by Mailing.
II seems TO be up 10 Mr. Mailing to
make good Either the letter was writ
ten by Nj Briggs or it is a forged
ceive a proper hearing from the people
OF Iowa Mr.. Mailing should at once
settle the question between himself and
Briggs The Briggs letter is blown
upon Its alleged author denies it.
What has Mailing or those whom he
represents to say?
Mr.. Mailing or any other person or
representative Of interests has per
feet right to present facts to the people
OF the state openly or privately. The
ne"spa pers will readily print the letter
he asserts is from Nj Briggs and
which Mr.. Briggs says isn't. And il
might De suggested that gumshoes al
ways argue desire for secrecy. Mr..
Mailing should take Off his galoshes He
is unknown to the men he approaches.
The Briggs letter is his introduction
and his foundation to cTedioility. 1t
appears that he should either make the
foun dation good or receive small con-
sideration.
Still the thought obtrudes itself. like
a nail in a clapboard. why this activity
on Mr. MalIng's part? Why this sud
den interest in Iowa. Who is be-
hind il?
Nobody seems to know Nj Mailing or
his backers--if he has hackers. But
everyone in Iowa knows Grinnell Col
lege and it's faculty eminent among
whom is Dr Jesse Macy. professor Of
political economy. author Of text books
upon civil government which are used

noted authorities in America upon
