FIJI the Vacancy.

The term of Mr.. William S
Yates, one Of the best School
Commissioners we have ever had
tn this county, expired several
months ago, and Mr.. George w
Gray was appointed to fill the va
cancy, making the board entirely
partisan, all members thereof be
ing Democrats. Shortly after, Mr.
Walter r. Linthicum, a member
Of the board, removed to Vir-
ginia and resigned as a membei
thereof. His resignation has beer
in the hands Of the Governor fol
several months and yet no one has
been appointed to fiji the vacanc,
and all of the business of the
board has to be and is conducted
by the only two remaining mem
bers and in the event Of the sick
ness or illness of either no bust
ness can be transacted. This is {
most pitiable and deplorable con
duion Of affairs. Why the Gov
ernor has left this vacancy open
so long we do not know. Whether
he can not find a Republican o..
the calibre HE WANTS in the
county or whether he is between
the devil and the deep blue sea
trying to satisfy the warning
clans within his own party in the
naming Of man of his own faith
we do not know, but we dolknoW
the vacancy should be filed, The
board of school commissioners as
far as possible, which POSSIBILITY
is always in the power OF the
Chief Executive, should be re
moved from politics, and there
should always be minority repre-
sentation on the board. The PEG
pie have a right to demand that
action be taken by the Governor
in this matter as regardless OF
what political faith one may be
long; all are deeply interested in
the conduct and welfare OF the
public schools, where the largest
majority of our boys and girls
receive the only education they
can obtain in life as far as books
are concerned.
In keeping with our belief thai
the schools should be divorced
from politics and that minority
representation should be had, We
suggest the name of Mr.. William
5. Yates, who has so capably hllet
this position before to the salts
faction of the people of the COUNTY
and who is the type Of a man who
will continue as he did during his
previous tenure in said office t,
give his time and attention to the
duties thereof with a purpose
single to the welfare of the
schools of the county. Another
name also suggests itself to us o
a young man who would make
most acceptable and capable
School Commissioner in Mr.. Viii
liam w. Dyson, Jr. He has never
held public office, but is youne
man OF high standing, particularly
in the community in which he
lives and where he is best known.
Either of these men, while both
are Republicans as far as party
faith is concerned, would capably
and ably fill the office.
Whether the Governor intend
to give minority representation
on the. board or not, an appoint
ment TO fill this vacancy shoule
be made. There is plenty of ex
.cefient and available timber il
both parties from which to make
a choice without even giving poll
ticians a look in the office.

SEES OIL ON FARM.
cerro Goro Farmer Investigating Film
Discovered Saturday.

Mas" city, &c. E. Clint
jotti, living a short distance west q
the Northwestern cement plant, be-
lieves that he has found oil on his
farm. While walking thru the pasture
Saturday he discovered the ground to
be partly covered with a thin coat of
oil. A chemist was called from the
Lehgh cement plant and short in
Vestigation was made but the source
Of the oil could not be determined. A
more careful examination will be made
in a few days as soon as the weather
conditions are favorab BILE.
For several years the same thing was
noticed altho not as extensiely as at
this time. However il is possible that
the oil may be from the clay as it is
known that the clay contains small
amount of oil and that the weather
conditions may be affecting the sub
stances in such a way that the oil is
forced from the clay. If this is the
case the oil is not in a large enough
quantity to pay for trying to CONNER
cialiZe it.

Cedar Rapids, April 22.-The city Of
Cedar Rapids will vacate a portion Of
the municipal>island in the Cedar river,
giving the land TO Linn county for a

Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablcts-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
THAT calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calonel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the

CITY May Make Ice.

NCedar Falls. April 22.-The general
assembly having passed the measure
authorizing cities owning water and
electric plants to engage in the arti-
fetal ice business, means that Cedar
Falls within a short time will probably
take steps looking to the erection of
such a plant. Those who have been
investigating the matter are Of the
opinion that such a plant can be built
here near the present power plant at
the foot Of Twelfth street east for a
nominal cost and the community sup
piled with artificial ice at reasonable
figures. Steps may be taken late this
summer by the city council looking to
the erection Of such a plant.
