THE DEFEAT OF SUFFRAGE.

Little doubt that the suffrage amend
ment was defeated is possible to en-
tertain by the most optimistic and
anxious. Woman suffrage failed in
Iowa where it was generally expected
to pass with the approval of a good
majority.
But the women put up a splendid
campaign, clean. aggressive and based
on true principles. All they have to
regret is that they lacked couple Of
votes 10 the precinct; for two votes to
the precinct would have brought their
total up to even terms If the ennis
saries of liquor and other evil and sell
nsh interests managed to poison the
mind of one man in 100 they earned
their money and defeated woman stuff
rage in Iowa. The conclusion then
would be that paid agents, sent into
Iowa by interests Iowa opposes con-
trolled political conclusions of Iowa.
Out Of which the respectable oppo-
nents OF woman suffrage in this state
may derive such comfort as they can.
1t was another wet victory assisted
by drys. And out Of that the dry
voter and alleged moralist who voted
against suffrage may also take such
credit and find such pleasing refec-
tons as may arise from contemplation
of the company he kept.
Marshall county women and Mar
shall county republicans are in that
enviable position of having lost in good
company rather than to have won in
bad company.

MAILS AND CHURCHES.

webster City Freeman Tribune.l
The Freeman Tribune believes that
the bill now before congress to give
the postmaster general power to close
the mails against any publication that
attacks church is pernicious, if cor
rectly reported. The freedom OF press
and speech Is one Of the fundamentals
Of a republican form Of government
like ours. The publication that assails
church can be dealt with by the
courts by due process Of law, but 1t is
putting an unwarranted power into the
hands of any officer Of the government.
to permit him to say what periodicals
| may or may not be given the priv.
leges OF the mails. Only in our foreign
relations. or during war, is there justi-
ficatio for press censor. Vastly more
harm to a free people will come from
the suppression Of the press and ros-
trum than can come from any abuses
Of such freedom. 1t Is just as true
today as 1t was 125 years ago when
Thomas Jefferson said: Our liberty
depends upon the liberty Of the press
and that can not be limited without
being lost"

lots called for can be ascertained, It
will conclusively appear that in many
precincts that number of republican
ballots called for yesterday were near
~ equal in number to the highest vote
cast at any previous election by the
republicans.
The returns Of the election will not
give this information for the reason
that many errors were made by the
voters. In one precinct where 800 re-
publican ballots We're, called for the
highest republican vote was only 2S7.
The democrats were certainly in
evidence and without question sue
ceeded in nominating the republican
candidate for governor.
Assuming that the Democrat is right
in it's figures on Davenport democrats
and their votes in republican pri-
cote across the state based on the
Davenport figures is not far out of the
way. the democratic vote in republic
can primaries cast for Harding would
account not only for the lead Of Hard
ing over both principal opposing can
didates but for his lead over either one
Of them. 1t is probably true that Dav-
export with its pro-saloon spirit did
as well or better in this way for Hard
ing as Sioux City and probably equaled
the Dubuque democratic shift but that
the democratic vote for Harding was
strong in practically all precincts over
the state was evident and the conclu-
sion that enough democrats voted for
him to nominate him is not far drawn.
How calculated the movement was to
ord that three candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket in Marshalltown voted re-
publican in the primary and the gen.
eral knowledge that a very large num-
Der Of democratic voters called for and
received the republican ticket. The
prominent democrat" who outlined
the plan and predicted 10000 votes for
Harding appears to have much I'M
derestimated. Some democrats voted
for Harding because he is the easiest
Of any before the primaries to beat
with a democrat; some voted for him
because Of assurances that he is wet
How many such votes Harding gained
in the state to defeat republican can
ddates in a republican primary is only
to be estimated but if the proportion
in river counties holds with the state
ment of the Davenport paper and he
received but 1900 Of them in each Of
the wet counties alone it accounts for
Harding's whirlwind count when the
polls were closed.
The democrats and the vets thru
such a spokesman as the Davenport
Democrat, perhaps the leading demo-
cratic daily Of the state, claim to have
nominated Harding. Will they elect
him? John T. Hamilton, erstwhile
candidate for governor says they will
not and that Meredith will beat him
because Meredith will get the law and
order vote Mr. Hamilton may be
right about it; for never has a repub-
lican nomination SO soured on the
stomachs of the law and order vote"
as that Of w. L. Harding.

The umpire is human target for
contumely scorn and pop bottles who
is seldom allowed to live out the al
lotted years of man except by mistake.
Once in a. while an umpire will have his
vocal cords paralyzed by an embittered
pop bottle and be forced to retire, in
which event he may live to ripe old
age, but few instances Of this kind are
on record. The usual fate of the UNI
pire is to die in some lonely spot as
the result Of remorse over rotten de-
cision at second base.
Umpires are chosen for their total
lack Of personal beauty and willing
ness to die on the field Of battle rather
than change decision which makes
Jesse James in his palmiest days look
like breaking into the baby's bank. No
umpire was ever known to change a
decision until he got out Of the hos'
pital, when he decided to go into some
thing less hazardous, like running a
dynamite drill or handling mules. Al
ter All umpire has stood III front OF the
foul tip and the bean ball for a few
years. breaking in sour-tempered
Joplin mule will look as easy as re-
pairing the front lawn with timothy
seed.
The umpire Is not obliged to use a
| megaphone in his business as nature
provides him with substitute in the
form of singing voice which makes
the stock yards whistle sound like a
squeak in the rear spring. If our
grand opera magnates would seize a
few minor league umpires and, after
rigging them up in plush pants and a
tin sword, turn them loose upon the
stage, grand opera would be more
popular than it is. There would also
be greater demand for reinforced
steel ceilings. Some umpires prefer te
talk on their fingers, like an electric
railway signal
Every umpire is compelled to have

A GOOD BET.
FcA 4

A certain man at Clarinda made a
bet with a friend of $500 that one OF
the candidates he mentioned for sher-
If would have the lowest vote cast for
sheriff. This was earlier in the cam
paign but late enough to appear as tho
all candidates were in the race who
intended to enter. After the bet had
been placed the man who :ook the Of
fer Immediately got busy and got an
other man to announce for sheriff,
with the understanding that he would
make no campaign nor effort to
receive the vote, the further under
standing being that all the expenses
would be paid by the better and then
they would divide the winnings fifty
fifty.

THE NATION AND ITS WOMEN.
TChicago Tribune.]

A nation of good men is a nation OF
courageous women. 1t is that or it is a
nation of unconsidered women. Wom-
en- either are rejected from the scheme
Of the nation for other than breeding
purposes, or, being respected as think
ing, influential parts of it, they affect
its character. 1t is possible for male
children to be born in the harem and
have manly attributes when they are
grown regardless Of feminine influence.
That Is because the man takes the
boys training in hand and disregards
the women. What she thinks or is be-
comes of no consequence. In a rightly
ordered nation the woman will set the
standard Of behavior. She will give
either courage or cowardice.

Lands Will Not Go
on Assessment Roll

The Oregon grant lands will not be
put upon the tax rolls this year.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing of representatives from the land
grant counties held last night at Eu-
gene. Attorney General Brown, who
with Tax Commissioner Galloway was
present at the meeting, said this morn
ing that in his opinion the action of
congress revesting title in the govern
ment is valid, and that the Oregon and
California lands are no longer subject
to taxation.
Attorney General Brown cited the
provision of the act of Congress re-
ve;ting title to the Oregon and Cali
fornia lands in the Government, pro-
viding the taxes shall be paid as de-
termined by the Secretary of the In
terror Department. He commended the
plan to form federation of the land
grant counties for the purpose Of
"having these lands sold, the timber
sold and getting the lands back on the
tax roll.
Referring to the action of congress
he reviewed the history of the for
feiture suits. He said that when the
litigation was first suggested he ad-
vised against it, fearing the reaction of
greater reserves within the state and
the removal of the land from taxation.
He called attention to the act of the
legislature providing for the forfeiture
proceeding and asserted "the people of
the state of Oregon through the legis-
lature, invited Congress to do the thing
that il has done"
