THE CIRCLE RESTORED.

Dies Moines Capital: Some years
ago the grand old party in Iowa be-
came SO good that they wanted to
invite very man to bolt the ticket.
To that end the circle was taken off
the ballot to show that the voter
could vote for individuals, but under
straight ballot by making one cross.
When the circle was at the top OF
the ballot a democrat could make a
cross in the circle at the top of his
ballot and vote straight democratic
ticket. A republican could do like
wise by the same process with his
party ticket. But reformers gener-
ally thought that there was a virtue
in scratching. voting for few re
publicans and few democrats. OF
course that can be done after the
circle has been restored, and 1t viii
take no more work to scratch ticket
with the circle restored than it did
before. But the voter must look out.
IL a cross goes in the circle, the
crosses voting individually by sepa-
rate marks are nullified. In other
words, the voter must either scratch.
or not scratch.
The present general assembly has
re-enacted the law, and the circle on
the ballot will be restored. An ex-
perience with scratching did not help
the politics of the state. The best
government is to hold some one par
ticular party responsible for the
things that happen. Party response
bility is the safest. III things go
wrong, the party can be held respon.
sibIe. In individual cases, if things
go wrong. the individual can be dis
carded, but by the same process, an
other individual, no better, may be
chosen. If you are democrat in
1870 or a republican. you can vote
with a great deal less trouble than
you have been able to do for num-
Der OF years.

KENYON FOR PRESIDENT.

Sioux City Journal: The Potter
Enterprise. published at Coudersport,
Pa, has launched the candidacy Of
Senator Kenyon for the republican
nomination for president in 1920.
Whether the effort materializes into
anything tangible or not, the fact
that an Iowa senator is the choice OF
men who are drawn to him because
Of his qualifications is an honor to
the state which he represents. The
editor cannot be charged with local
partisanship or with personal prefer
ences, because he knows the Iowan
only by what he has done as a mem
Der of the upper branch Of congress.
The eastern sponsor of the Iowa
Senator Kenyon would be an accept
able leader for the party as follows:
Senator Kenyon is big enough,
good enough and clean enough
TO make as great and noble a
president as this country ever
had. He is located right He
thinks right. He has the eour-
age to do right.
The suggestion OF Senator Kenyon
for the republican nomination coming
from the far east. and based on the
character and ability OF the man in
his public service, speaks much for
him, but it speaks also for the recog-

1919 A LOCUST YEAR"

| It is being predicted that the seventeen
! year. locusts will appear, perhaps in very
large numbers during the spring and early
summer of the present year, throughout large
portions Of the United States. 1t is said Of this
so-calIed locust that it is not locust at all.
| but is one of the members Of the grasshopper
family Moreover, it appears that it has thir-
| teen-vear period as well as a seventeen year
period.
| The fact that this troublesome insect sudden
tIv appears in vast numbers, at intervals Of tllr
TEN or seventeen years, is regarded by many as
very mysterious and has long caused superstl-
ltions among uncivilized races; however, when
lit is understood that it requires from thirteen to
seventeen years for these insects to develop be
meath the ground, their sudden appearance at
the end of such periods is cleared of much of its
mystery.
The year 1868 was the greatest locust year in
the history Of this country In that year a
brood known as nineteen, - which is the larg
est of the thirteen-year broods, appeared to-
gether with brood ten, thus causing an unpre-
cedented locust pest While it is not expected
that there will be any repetition of such condl
tions during tn present year, it is suggested by
those who have made study of the matter that
the danger of destruction of vegetation by big
swarrns Of locusts this year is of sufficient I'M
portance to Justify the taking, by those likely
to be affected, of the few known preventive
measures which it is possible to apply.
The United States department of agriculture
has long been studying this matter and is pre-
pared to furnish, upon request, detailed infor-
nation as to the best methods to pursue in
order to minimize the dangers to agricultural
interests from this pest.
