Tiberius was one Of the few Roman
emperors who succeeded In living out
his term OF office In early times y
was a very difficult thing to become a.
Roman emperor and live long enough
TO collect TWO instruments OF taxes. but
Tiberius accomplished this feat and
enjoyed the distinction OF dying IN bed
and entering the bottomless PIT at one
and the same time.
From all accounts Ttberius was one
of the meanest persons who ever sat
for his picture 90 the Roman throne.
He had low FOREHEAD and high tenn
per. which would explode every now
and then with q noise like blowout

GUS to argue with Tibcrius when he
had been fully ignited, and few people
attempted to do SO without being i'm
paled on fence post or drowned in a
vat of linseed oil.
Tiberius was q married man, but his
wife was a great disappointment to all
concerned, as she was of a giddy ma.
ture and would rather firt with perfect
strangers than to homework and make

most contempt and commented heart

and it was great relief to Tiberius
when he was given a divorce at the

ELECTION PECULIAR

While early still for any analysis OF
the vote from ocean to ocean one ex-
traordinary and unprecedented thing
sticks out of the returns like a nail out
of rocking chair, the astonishing fact
that New York and PENNSYLVANIA and
Ohio and Indiana were dethroned as
pivotal states while the extreme west
represented by California and the mid
die northwest by Minnesota and the
Dakotas assumed the balance of po-
litcal power.
1t will carry new sense of the i'm
portance of the west eastward. The
west side of the Wabash has never
been given much consideration by po-
litical grand dukes and princes of the
parties Perhaps it forecasts day
when the presidency shall come begging
west of the Mississippi
Another peculiar and seemingly i'm
probable hedfellowship contingent to
this campaign is the partial union Of
ganized labor In the pivotal state Of
California the winegrowers of the in
terror and the completely organized
labor of San Francisco controlled the
result aided of course by the feminine
votes that were attracted by the
pseudo peace slogan Minnesota is d
close state because the farms and the
unions voted together this year. not
all the farms and all labor but enough
OF both to make Minnesota one Of the
surprises of the campaign.
In national as on state issues the
campaign produced strange bedfellows
and unprecedented conditions Natur-
ally SO in the realignment of political
ideas consequent upon the party dis
integration of the previous national
campaign and because of new issues
upon which men find themselves more
Or less unbalanced. Self interest Of
course had its effect High priced pro-
ducts wove a stronger spell about their
producer than the voices of orators.
Men sell on the present market whether
it is a war market or not. Others
imagined they saw a leader and an
advocate for their class when the
Adamson law was forced thru And so
on thru the gamut of conditions and
causes.
It is nothing to afford real alarm.
This country is suffering from indi-
gestion. New conditions and new
issues have been crowded upon those
half digested or not digested at all. We
are covering the ground of genera
ton, not in the thirty years Of a gen.
GRAFTON but in ten. We are gorged with
invention and ideas and must await
assimilation. In the meantime We must
suffer our stomach aches and our
growing pains.

SOME EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.

| Thirty-seven candidates for state OF
fees have filed their expense accounts
with the secretary of state including
| the successful candidate for lieutenant
governor several congressman, state
senators and representatives and cleo
tors. E. r. Moore spent few dollars
less than $500. Congressman Towner
expended s734 and a nickel. Expendi-
lures Of the others dwindle down to
nothing Few candidates spent more
than 800. many of them less than $50.
One democrat in Story county wisely
spent nothing
There is no support for the alleged
prohibitiveness of the primary to the
poor man in the expense accounts un-
der present consideration. 1t is to be
assumed that these men made what
they consider a good canvass of their
districts. 1t is also pretty hard to hs-
ure how they could have got out for
less than they did under any system.
Moreover the chance was worth the
money. There is as much sense in as
serting that a man can run for state
office at no expense to himself as to
assume that he can pursue any other
desirable thing in politics, business or
love without paying the expenses OF
the trip: and when he gets off as easily
!: d.
ing to their own sworn statements he is
getting off easy.
The expense accounts Of the candi-
dates for governor will present
marked contrast to the statements hleo
by the candidates referred to above
There were wealthy candidates in the
contest from the beginning of the pri-
mary campaign and they spent money
like water and &c very large degree
foolshly. There was powerful inter-
ests involved that gave aid freely to
the candidate they approved in the
election campaign. When the expendi-
lures are footed up they will be enor-
nous by comparison with other Iowa
campaigns. However 1T is not to be
assumed that they would not have spent
as much or more in the elective cam
paign had their nominations been Sc
cured under any other system.
There will be general outcry for a
change in the primary law and it is
evident that changes may be made
with advantage. Nevertheless, how
ever much we may be disappointed in
the results of the past campaigns and
disguised by the lavish expenditures
revision of the primary law should be
with wisdom and judgment.
The primary principle is established as
a foundation principle Of popular gov
eminent Hurried action stirred by
disappointment or by prejudice may
spill beans that will be hard to gather
up again.

towRs EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

IN the nrSt OF an important series oI
state educational surveys made by the
Federal Bureau of Education a new
lstration is laid down which it is be-
lieved will be Of real significance to the
future of education in the states. This
IS the so-called principle of major
and service lines. 1t is offered as a
solution to the problem Of duplication
Of professional courses by two or more
state institutions of higher education
in Iowa and number Of other states.
BY the principle of major and serv-
ice lines as described in the bulletin
just issued on Higher Educational In
situations Of Iowa. each state educa-
tional institution has assigned TO *
certain major" fields which il may de-
velop to the fullest extent. Service"
lines are such subordinate subjects as
are essential to the proper cultivation
culture at the Iowa State College Of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts is a
major" line, and English a service"
line. On the other hand, English is
described as a major" line at the state
university and a service" line at the
state college. On this principle no
state would attempt 10 maintain TWO
or more extensive and elaborate edu-
cational plants doing the same type Of
special work in the same field, and no
institution would duplicate the work Of
another except TO the extent that sucn
work is necessary to the main task Of
the college. ...
The governments survey of the Iowa
state higher educational institutions
was made at the urgent request Of the
Iowa State Board of Education for ex
pert information in meeting the prob
lens that arose in appropriating the
necessary money for the institutions
of the state. The commission made a
first hand study Of conditions in Iowa.
Some of the topics treated by the re-
port are: Expenditures in higher ed
ucational institutions; extension work;
home economies; sub collegiate work;
study OF the use of buildings; build
ing costs; physical education of wom-
en-; the work and remuneration Of ths
! Instruction.! stats.
With regard to duplication in engi-
| neering education, which is a most
pressing problem in Iowa and other
states, the survey commission suggest
ed several ways in which the work
might be more efficiently handled, rec
ommending especially as the ideal plan
the union Of the two existing engineer
| ing schools in one place under high ex-
pert direction. mo other method

insure the permanent elimination Of

GOVERNOR HARDING.
Waterloo Times Tribune.


What does the tremendous vote given
w. L. Harding portend? Indications arc
that he has run $4,000 votes ahead OF
Hughes Is it victory for liquor! Is
il due to campaign iEsu5s:
AS we look upon it. liquor was MADE
the issue in the campaign by the dry
faction OF the republican party. 1t was
expected that the wet democrats, many
Of them, would vote for Harding II
was expected that the dry republicans
most of them, would vote for Meredith
We may be sure from the returns that
the wet democrats made good at the
polls; that they voted for Harding, just
as they used to vote for Cummins when
he was in state politics and was listed
as wet But where were the dry re-
publicans?
The dry republicans told the state
that If Harding were elected 1t would
mean an expression in favor OF the IL
censed selling of liquors in the state
The wet democrats told us the same
thing. The question arises as to just
what Harding thinks about it-as to
where Harding really stands.
1t must be admitted on all sides that
the issue was clearly drawn, but yet we
are hardly privileged to declare thai
the sentiment of the voters OF Iowa is
for return of licensed liquor selling. il
must be that a great many dry repup-
licans had faith In the dryness OF Hard
ing. 1t must be that the great body OF
the republican party in Iowa Is dry.
The vets are going to expect lot o.
Harding. They were convinced that nc
represented their interests. They wer'
for him, body, soul and breeches. II W.
were to make prediction we would say
that the vets may have friend In thf
state house when Harding gets there
