FOR EARLIER ELECTION RETURNS

In the action of the West Virginia legisla-
iture, creating what is known in Kansas as the
.sdouble election board, i, is found a gratifying
indication that hereafter there may be no such
delay in the publication of presidential cleo
ton returns as that which kept the country in a
state Of uncertainty for several days last No
vember. For states not yet ready to adopt the
voting machine, the system approved IN Kan
sas, and now to be used in West Virginia, may
afford a fairly satisfactory substitute for the
rapid and generally accurate machine method
It will be recalled that Kansas was among the
first Of all the states in the announcement OF
election figures last fall It's quick work was
made possible by the state law providing that
at all general elections the national and state
tickets shall appear upon one ballot and the
district, county and township tickets upon an
other and that at each voting place five sep
arate boxes shall be provided. There are
two boxes in duplicate for the national and
state ballots and there are two boards of cleo
ton officers one known as the receiving board,
which receives the ballots, and the other
counting board. Instead of waiting for the
close of the polls, the counting board begins It's
work soon after they are opened The national
and state boxes used in the early hours OF vot-
ing are removed and the others are put IN place.
The votes already cast are counted, and the ex-
change of boxes is repeated at frequent inter
walls throughout the day. When the1polls close,
the count is nearly complete.
! With proper safeguards, there need be no
more danger Of irregular voting than under the
old system, and there is an obvious advantage
| in the saving of time. IF other states, where
objection is made to the voting machines, follow
the example set by Kansas and West Virginia,
there will be little delay in the announcement OF
the election of president in 1920.
But wherever this system is adopted it will
| be necessary to take extraordinary precautions,
not against fraudulent voting but against false
counting of the ballots. 1t is obvious that
when counting board knows at any hour OF
/ the day chow the vote is going the tempta-
ton to falsfy the returns is increased, and that
opportunity may be found in the long time at
the disposal of the counters. No objection OF
| this kind can be made to the use OF the voting
machines, and study of the two systems pro-
vided to meet the demand for early news OF
election results may be expected to lead to
wider adoption of the machine method.

If a dollar saved is dollar earned the .peo-

people Just now the greatest gain in bank
deposits in the history of the state banking de-

ings banks, three hundred and thirty five state
banks and twenty-five trust companies operat-
ing in Iowa. These banks and trust companies
now show deposits amounting to 1927, 364-

ANIMAL SURGERY.

The great advances in medical sci
ence which marked the present war
have been equalled in the veterinary
field. Losses among wounded horses
and mules have been cut down to
one-fifth of what they were in pre-
vious wars. This is the first war in
which the veterinary branch has had
a separate and autonomous organi-
cation. In each of the great armies
it has it's own ambulances for wound
ed horses and mules, some of them
motor-driven, others horse-drawn.
With the Allied forces on the west
ern front there are sixteen hospitals
for wounded horses, completely equip
ped and divided into wards. Here
three-fourths of the wounded animals
are cured and the remainder pain
lessly killed.

HOW TO TREAT AN EDITOR.

Editors are so rare, they are so
entirely different from other ami
mails, their relation toward the public
is so at variance with other people,
that as general rule the public
does not know how to treat 'em, and
the Enterprise desires to give a few
rules for the proper treatment Of
an editor.
In the first place, demand of him
that he be absolutely correct in every
statement, no matter how minor the
Importance; that every letter and
every line in the tens of thousands
in his paper be at its proper place,
and that not a figure be omitted,
none transposed and none added; that
he know all about your comings and
goings and that he publish the same
without any suggestions from you
he ought to know the facts! Do
not excuse him if corner is torn
from your paper, the subs ription on
which may not have been paid in the
last five years. If he says your
old mare was Is years old, when
she was only II, give him hades.
But most important of all is, do
not call him over the teieR hone or
see him at his office to tell him
of an error made in some 15-cent job
of printing or adverting. Meet him
on the streets in crowd-the post
office is a mighty good place, as lots
Of people are apt to be standing
about--tell him. he made an error in
the letterhead printing; or that the
paper did not suit you: that six
Of the envelopes in a whole box(500)
were stuck together; that word was
omitted from the 10c local ad; that

should have read so-and-so; that
your bill for printing was oyefcharg-
ed-oh, there are so many Of these
important matters that you can jump
on him IN public places about. He
has no office. you know, where you
call and talk to him about these
matters. Besides, being so entirely
different from other people, he en-
joys being balled out in crowds and
told Of the mistakes of his paper and
his printers. He would not know
what you meant if you went 70 his
sanctum sanctorum and talked with
him.
It might be a rood idea to cut
these rules for the proper treatment
of an editor out, and paste EN- in
your scrap book for future reference.
