STUDENTS MAY VOTE BY MAIL,
Absent Voters Law Will BE Great
Aid to Students-WilI III
crease the Vote.

. Under the terms of the absen
voters law, students in the univer
stiles and colleges of Iowa may cas-
their votes by mail at the June pri
mary and at other elections. This il
the opinion Attorney General Cos
son has given in reply to an inquiry
of Frank E. Horack, professor Of pc
litical science in the University Of
Iowa.
If all students qualified take ad.
vantage of the law, the total vote OF
Iowa should be increased by several
it is estimated that not less than
electors. In former elections prob
ably less than fifty have gone home
to vote. If allowed to vote by mail
however, it is likely that the great
majority of those eligible will exer-
else their right.
Quoting the first section of the
law, Attorney General Cosson says:
II am of the opinion that student
properly comes within the provisions
of said section, that is to say, his
work at the university makes him
absent from home on business as it
is his business to be attending school
and if, however, he lives in a city
where registration is required you
will note by said section that he must
then have been duly registered.
THE law, in my opinion, should
receive no narrow Interpretation but
should apply to any person, who is
necessarily or properly away from
home on the day of any general, spec
ial, primary, county, city or town
election. l am, therefore, of the
opinion that the law properly applies
to the student and that he may avail
himself of the provisions of said act
by following the terms and condi-
tons therein stated"
According to the attorney generals
opinion, therefore, students living
in cities may have to go home to
register, but the great number from
to vote by simply writing to the town
clerk or the county auditor, as the
case may demand, for the ballot and
following the regulations prescribed
for voting in absence.
Professor Horack believes that the
increase in the student vote may
have an important influence in deter
mining the woman suffrage issue at
the primary. In his experience in
asking students in his classes how
they stand on woman suffrage he has
found very few who oppose it, while
the great majority are vigorously for
it. He expects the new law to be a
great benefit in discouraging ques-
tionable practices to which students
have sometimes resorted to in order
to get to vote, such as swearing to
residence in the college town or ac-
cepting car fare home from support
ers of one party or the other.

1t was Labor Day.

It was First Monday
1t was No Strike Day.
In strong contrast with the mental
picture Of Labor Day drawn when the
Inauguration Of a nationwide strike

in a holiday and the circus. The

other sources of pleasure contributed
to make one grand holiday which was
by single untoward event.

WILSON'S ACCEPTANCE ADDRESS

The Ardmoreite comments upon
President Wilson'S acceptance speech
as follows:
While the words were couched in
the most beautiful English. such as
few men can command, yet the coun
Try at this time is not looking for
beauty Of expression. In that, no man
can be disappointed in the utterances
of the president, made yesterday.
That speech fairly teens with the
fruitage OF three and half years OF
Democratic rule in this country. Did
we say Democratic? That is merely
an incident. Woodrow Wilson is too
great, and his administration has been
too replete with glorious achieve
ments, for It to be called by a party
name The use OF a partisan term inn
plies a service to a portion OF the peo-
pie. We throw partisanship to the
winds on occasions when the nation
is being held in the balance, and our
partisan friends will pardon us for
calling it an American administra-
ton" The Woodrow Wilson admins.
ration is American in that it has had
TO deal with the great diplomatic ques-
tions when our lives might have been
called for as sacrifices upon the sa-
cred altars of our country. 1t is Amer
ican because no special interests have
been served and because all humanity
has been placed upon the same higll
plane of justice, where their enemies
have been outwitted, where national
honor has been kept inviolate, without
the sacrifice Of life, and where bene-
diction of peace has been brought,
where war threatened to CLEAN a har
vest of gore, and where an industrial
war threatened to disturb the com
merce Of the country.
That Americanism in its highest
sense has been the watchword of the
Wilson administration is proven in
the fact that the empty promises Of
former Republican partisan adminis-
have been supplanted by a Sc.
ries of beneficent laws protecting the
country from financial panic, giving
to the tiller Of the soil commercial
credit, relieving labor of subsection to
restraint by drastic processes and
bursting the bubble Of the monument
tai illusion that the Republican party I
IS an organization, even approaching
near the throne of greatness.
The Democracy Of the United States
finds an especial pride in offering all
Americans who love justice more than
who love peace mora

high ideal OF national honor more
han glory over the blood of martyrs

WHO IS SENATOR BONE?
AND THEN THEY ROARED
Swanson Drops the "R" in Bourne"
and Borah Doesn't Get" 1t at
All, So He Inouires.

A Republican Senator remarked yester-
day afternoon that the letter "R" had
almost disappeared from the alphabet in
use in official Washington since the ad-
vent of the present administration. His
comment was brought out by an Incl
dent OF debate in the Senate.
Senator Swanson. of Virginia, was en-
gagged in an earnest speech on the good
roads bill which had come over from
the House. He had occasion frequently
to refer to a measure recommended by
a committee of which former Senator
Jonathan Bourne was chairman. In his
references to the so-called Bourne" bill
Senator Swanson failed to give a clear
enunciation to the "R" and the effect
was that he seemed to be commenting
upon the bone" bill.
Senator Swanson was terribly in ear
nest and very serious, but the amusement
Of Senators Increased until finally sena-
tor Borah rose and inquired:
who is this 'Bone?'"
great wave of laughter spread over
the Senate as Mr.. Swanson with some
embarra ssnent explained that he refer
