hands and lodge it in the hands Of the
people.
It has also been suggested that law
be passed which will permit the forma-
ton of road districts after the manner
of our drainage districts. Under this
plan. the people of the district might
organize for road improvements, and
by vote of those interested might in
cur bonded Indebtedness for this pur-
pose. If the people of county or or
district are ready for sufaced roads,
and are willing to vote bonds upon
themselves for the purpose of building
them-surely they should be given the
right to do 1t.
The governor OF the state would play
a very small part in any OF these mat
tiers. They would be dealt with by the
members of the legislature. The gov
ernor might recommend in his mes
sage such plans as seemed best TO
him. but this recommendation would
have no binding force upon the legis-
lature. He could Of course exercise his
personal influence with the various
members of the legislature. and this
might be large or small, depending on
how we'll the governor may stand with
the members. So far as his official
acts are concerned, however, they
would be confined to recommendations
in the form of messages to the legisla-
ture, and to signing or vetoing any
bills which might be passed.
II there are to be any changes In
our road laws. they. will be made by
the legislature. The farmers Of Iowa
will best serve themselves by sending
to the Legislature aone good hard
headed citizens who can think clearly,
and who can be trusted to faithfully
represent their interests, not only dn
road legislation, but in other matters
Of equal Importance.
We suspect that there Is something
behind this effort to make the road
question appear to be the one big issue
in this primary campaign. We suggest
to our readers that they study with
some care the character. records and
affilia tons Of the various candidates
for the legislature. When the blare OF
a circus parade draws the people down
town, sneak thieves reap rich harvest
in the deserted homes. Many questions
of great Importance to the farmer will
be dealt with by the Iowa legislature
next winter, and every county should
be represented there by faithful, sim
cere, clean minded, clear-headed men
who will stand for clean state and
for justice to the farmer.

Topics of the Times

If Lawyer Harding could have In
fluenced the attorney generals Office
few months ago.. would the Sioux
City police chief and Gunman Ford be
sharing the fruits of vice today or
busy at hard labor for the state? Now
where does the duty Of a citizen leave
off and the privilege of a criminal
lawyer begin?
With all the bitter fight that has
been waged upon Cosson no man has
dared to insinuate aught against his
integrity or capacity. CoSson's record
in Iowa is one that you would be glad
to have your own boy make, Mr.. Vot-
ing Citizen. And your boy and other
voting citizens boys are to grow up
in Iowa within the next few years.
The contrast between Havner and
Wilson is one that should attract at
tention. Havner declares for the en-
forcement of law from one end of Iowa
to another. Wilson, so the chairman
of the Davenport republican conven-
tons said--has promised not to cross
the border of Scott county. In short
then Havner sees the law as an Iowa
law. Wilson would nullify it in Scott
according to Reed Lanes assertion be-
fore the convention. ".

that backed up the prosecution of Gun
man Ford and his gang and the re-

lice who was allied with vice and
crime, evidently believes not for it is

Those who approve the prohibitory
law and who imagine that it is all over
should inform themselves. The amend

is as great as that of the president
of the United States over congress. Are
they willing to put Harding with his

shows can be used to defeat the amend

CHAMPION DOUBLE-cROSSER.

Harding, the candidate of the vets,
nate of Waterloo, as to good roads that
we should let the people of given
locality vote on the proposition OF
taxes or bonds"
In the Ottumwa Courier for southern
Iowa consumption he said, Il am OPP
posing a proposed issue of one hundred
million dollars in bonds to pave the
highways of the state
In his paid advertisement in the
Harlan Republican for consumption in
a county which has no gravel he said,
Harding opposes government OF your
local affairs by a commission you can
not reach meaning the state highway
commission. 'Hardings fight is to
keep the pork barrel out of the road
making business"
Nobody having proposed a bond is
sue of any kind for paved roads and
every one Of the four republican cam
GiGateS having declared 1or the E!SAl
CT the voters to authorize their own
bonds for their own kind of roads and
local option on bond issues being all
that the road boosters are asking !:
becomes apparent that Mr.. Harding is
the champion double rosser of Iowa
politics. He holds the road booster in
the towns who is wet and saves the
farmer who is dry, but who is scared
by this talk of paved roads. The real
issue of law enforcement is concealed
by noise about things that do not
exist. Harding will get thousands OF
dry votes for fighting that which he
himself has proposed.

WOMAN's SUFFRAGE AT WORK.

The Nonpareil at Council Bluffs has
been introducing the testimony of for
mer Iowans as to the actual working
of woman's suffrage in the far western
states and it would seem that when
an Iowa man goes west to live in states
| in which women vote he has been con-
WINGED that it is a good thing both for
the state and for the women to have
women voting.
Judge Macy, who served as dis
trict judge in Council Bluffs from 'S9
respected jurists of western Iowa,
writes from Pasadena, Cal. that:
know Of no one who was favorable
to the adoption of the law who now
criticises its workings or feels that it's
adoption was mistake; and many,
who opposed its adoption, for fear it
might disturb the peace Of the home
and family relations or make less
womanly and loveable the character
and conduct of the mothers, wives and
sisters, have openly expressed they
we're Ills IdhSIl anu HAY Z IISdl LILY given
their approval TO the law.
Since the adoption of the law, the
women. think, have not shown a dis
position to want to boss or run every
thing. nor have they shown an unseen
ly desire TO run for office AS large a
per cent of women have voted at the
various elections as men and have
shown as great an interest.
think the added voting strength Of
our commonwealth, by granting wo-
men suffrage, has been made even
more conservative and safe. AS rule,
the mother and wife want home and
the support. free from remembrance. or
undue or unreasonable taxation: and
| questions Of taxation or issuance of
! bonds will be as conservatively studied
! into, as a rule, by women as by. men.
| Out in Tacoma a Mr. A. A. Hart
bears witness to much the same con-
| illusions for he writes to the Nonpareil
saying:
1t works we'll. Recently we have
elected in Tacoma a new set of city
| dads, clean, law-abiding, competent.
| and have been house cleaning, thanks
| to the women voters.
The new privilege has been very
| calmly assumed by the women voters
and taken in such a matter of fact,
| quiet. inoffensive. intelligent way that
all right minded men feel safer, and
sure that better policies will follow in
! all municipal affairs.
| And banker from Long Beach, Cal.
| Charles A. Wiley, president Of the Ex-
change National Bank, confirms Judge
Macy's observations as to the effect of
women voting in California for he
writes that:
| "Our women have not abused their
! privilege in the matter Of suffrage, but
! have shown a conservative and intelli-
gent spirit in all elections to date and
converts OF the male persuasion have
| been increasing in number since this
! privilege has been granted the women.
This, I think, is the strongest argu-
ment in its favor.
The facts are that all this talk of
women being extravagant as to taxes
and neglectful of their home duties if
| they are given the right to vote is
pure buncombe. A woman Is as COM
petent to go to polling place once in
two years as she is to go to a store
once a week and she usually is far
more competent and careful at the
store than g. man and It follows thai
| she would be at least equally as care
