ISOLATION has been a powerful element
for reform along the lines OF temper
ance in Iowa. In most towns where
the saloon petitions failed the business

Of those assoc: ations Of a candidate for

sHsLoo MAN WITH 4 stcoso.

Farley Sheldon, mayor of Ames, was
defeated for mayor of that city Mon
day by small plurality after having
held the office for twenty-five years.
The veto Of a paving resolution is
given as the cause Of his defeat. The
contest however seems to have
been not over paving but whether a
patented paving or one under open
specifications should be laid. Sheldon
vetoed the resolution calling for the
patented article. II that was the real
reason for his defeat Mr. Sheldon
need not worry over his defeat. Most
OF the so-called patent pavements can
be laid under open specifications much
cheaper and quite as well under open
specifications.
Farley Sheldon has made a record
His long period in the office Of mayor
| Is the least Of 1t. The notable roads
across Story county are part of the
record. So is the federal aid that
Story received as a result of the
hustling and public spirit Of certain
Story county men among who Sheldon
was leader, The big s1Ie, 900 hotel is
part of. the Sheldon record. So are
practically all the fine public improve
menes Of that excellent town. Sheldon
built himself into all of them and his
record as public spirited and indie
fatigable public servant will outlast
any Of them.
Twenty-Five years is enough of Off
cial life. Sheldon can afford to be de-
feated for the mayoralty.
He need feel neither chasrin nor
sorrow. With all due Difference to the
new mayor and all the new mayors
elected Monday from Hoboken to the
Golden Gate. none Of them viii serve
community longer or better than
Farley Sheldon has served Ames
So much recognition is due every
man who has flied his place in
community great or small as MI Shell
don has done in mis- own town and
county. When such men retire or are
retired from active official activity the
towns and communities they served
should give them some public evil
dences Of appreciation to carry with
them to private life. 1t is about all
they have TO carry along except a
sense Of duty done and purpose full
filled.

TOO EARLY TO REJOICE.
fDes Moines Capital


While it is gratifying to the suffrage
cause in Iowa that the poll OF news
papers as conducted by The Capital
discloses sentiment two to one in favor
Of granting women the ballot on june
8. the returns should in no way cause
a let-up in the campaign. Many edi-
tors in signing their ballot mentioned
that there was little discussion Of the
topic and this is believed to be quite
generally true except in the larger
cities -
A disinterested public Is one Of the
greatest handicaps to any :, movement
which is dependent upon the public
suffrage. Because of the fact that
two legislatures have already approved
a suffrage amendment to our state
constitution there is a feeling in many
quarters that it will win easily at the
polls. Therefore many win not take
the time and trouble to mark ballot.
The opposition. however, viii be out in
full force. f|f
The experience Of other states has
been that the "antis" make quiet
but very effective campaign. It Is the
undercurrent which must be watched
and combatted in the present fight.
