ABSENT VOTERS.

The absent voter must register this
year sometime before election. In
cities Of $500 population or more new
registration books must supplant
the old registry and all voters must
register. This includes all voters. The
voter who desires to take advantage of
tie absent voter law must be regis
tered, so says the secretary of state.
This will come as disappointment
to a considerable number of Iowans
who had hoped to vote as absent
voters who will leave the state for the
winter months before a registry board
SITS in their precincts. Iowa has come
TO furnish a large number of tourists
to congenial climates in the winter
months. Many Of these would take ad-
vantage of the absent law if possible.
As it stands however it appears that
their early exodus will disfranchise
them for this election.
The law should make some provision
fol registry of such voters. They
might be registered by the auditor Of
their counties earlier and especially If
they are property owners who could
not be COMPOUNDED with the migratory
class of voters or by the registration
beard at regular sitting upon affi-
davit and oath of sufficient number
Of reputable citizens who are legal
voters in the precinct There are not
l great many voters thus deprived of
the privilege by the registry provision
IS it stands but those who are thus
barred desire to vote and if we are to
permit and encourage absent voting
they should have their chance with all
absentees.

title, you would expect that committee
to be composed of senators who were
genuinely interested in suppression OF
intemperance. The records show the
large majority OF senator's appointed by
Mr.. Harding to that committee con-
sistently voted against every bill in
tended to promote temperance. and 1t
is generally supposed that Mr.. Harding
knew how they would vote when he
appointed them. Mr.. Harding's former
pastor has come out against him. HIS
own church all over Iowa has come out
against him on account Of his consist
ent wet record. Many republicans In
Cedar Falls at the time Of the primary
said if Mr.. Harding were nominated
they would not support him. The cam
paign has developed into wet and dry
fight Wet democrats are openly snip
porting Mr.. Harding. Dry republicans
everywhere are openly supporting Mr..
Meredith, so I have no apologies to
make in lining up myself or for an en-
deacvor to line up Cedar Falls republi-
cans on the dry side of this contest.
DO deeply regret tho, Mr.. Editor. that
the influence Of your paper Is against
what so large majority Of your read
ers desire. Roger Leavitt.

it is opened UP to the bright, blue sky.
When two JOY riders who are in a
state Of dea -defying alcoholism meet
each other head on, there is a noise
like blowing up munitions factory,

to be expected, though the increase In
new enterprises obviously enhances
the possibilities Of financial emoar-
rassment. The nine months failure
statistics show reductions Of about %
per cent in number and fully IS pei
cent in amount from the high NOR
tally of 1915. while the September In
sc.lyencies were less numerous than IN
any month in three years and the
liabilities were the smallest since
August, 1911. Every section discloses
some numerical decrease for the nine
months, the Improvement being
marked in most instances, and trading
lines make relatively the best exhibit,
as is natural, because this classifica-
ton showed the greatest expansion in
1915. The betterment in the failure
record is not confined to strictly COM
mercial occupations, there being fewer
suspensions of blanks and other fidu-
ciary concerns than at any time since
1907.

Topics of the Times

If a mayoralty candidate had every
wideopener and liquor friend shouting
for him on the street how much stock
would temperance men take in his as
surances that he would enforce the
liquor laws and statutes against vice?
Then why-but pshaw, the application
is evident.
An old farmer and civil war veteran
tied the American flag to his milk cans
and defied the pickets Of the dairy
mems association in New York to
touch the can. The old fellow had a
musket packed full of powder and shot
trained on the can as he spoke. The
pickets respected the American flag
And that's a pretty good story with a
pretty evident moral.

A Missourian in his old age appeals
for help offering as an inducement that
he is father, grandfather and great
grandfather to 113 democratic voters.
He seems to have been a hardened old
sinner.
Why not try the peanut crop on the
sandy river bottoms in Iowa? A big
Texas peanut grower said recently
that "any intelligent farmer could take
few acres Of good sandy loan prop
erly prepared and make good money
out Of peanuts" Why don't we raise
our own peanuts in Iowaoas we do our
own peanut politicians?"

THE STATE OF BUSINESS.

Dun's Review Classics the trade Sit
The highest prices Of modern times.
while causing natural hesitancy in GER
tain quarters, fail 10 check the growth
Of business. Costs in many lines, in
spite of the previous extensive ad-
vance, are still rising steadily, and in
some cases rapidly, yet each week the
magnitude of demand, continuing after
months Of Unprecedented buying, be-
comes more noteworthy. There Is not
which orders, following much less than
the customary summer abatement are
not again increasing. and if in some
branches the expansion is limited it is
principally because OF the inability or
Discrimination of manufacturers to
commit themselves further.
Nearly all Of the works thruout the
country are covered by contracts ex-
tending we'll into the future and the
chief problem confronting producers,
as if has been for some time, is the
question Of making deliveries with the
desired promptness. Operations every
where are strained to the utmost to
meet the notable requirements, but
outputs are not easily augmented. as
the scarcity of raw materials increases
and labor shortage and wage contro-
versies prevent full running Of ma
chinery in a number Of instances.
The lack Of sufficient rolling stock.
which becomes more pronounced az
the crops are marketed in large
volume, also binders shipments, and
fears that supplies may later prove
even more difficult to obtain are
factor in the current buying. Ditribu-
ton at retail varies with the weather.
but maintains a high average, and
even in the regions where crop re-
suits have been disappointing con-
sumption does not appreciably lessen
because the advanced prices for farm
products compensate for the dimin-
ished harvests. With the government
report indicating further deterioration,
cotton has risen to the highest level
since 1910, and of the 1o1 changes in
the 331 commodity quotations regu-
larly compiled by Duns Review eighty
we're gains and 81 losses this week.
Not In any previous month this year
or in any other year have bank clear
ings equalled the September daily
average, more than ssoo,0oO,ooo at 131
leading centers. Yet the gain Of F.4
per cent over 1915 obviously does not
mean that in actual volume business
was that much larger. With prices OF
many commodities rising steadily, and
II, some cases swiftly, more money IS
naturally required to pay for the same
quantities, while the great activity In
the stock market has been an impor-
tant factor in swelling the exchanges.
The record, however, il noteworthy.
even after allowing for the element OF
speculation and Of prices, and clearly
reflects the magnitude Of Of COM
mercial and industrial transactions
turnout the country. With few ex-
ceptions, all OF the principal cities re-
port heavier payment than in the
preceding month, and only in the
western section ~=s the increase oyer
last year less than 80 per cent.
with the country generally pros
porous fewer reverses In business are
