G|LLET GIVEN
TEN-DAY VACATION

Speaker Gillett was today authorized
by the House to appoint a Speaker
pro tempore for period of ten days
any time this month to serve during
his absence in order ttat the Speaker
may get little vacation for the
benefit Of his health.
Mr.. Gillett announced that he will
appoint Representative Joseph Walsh
of Massachusetts. Mr.. Gillett made it
plain to the House that he is not i'll.
but that the doctor told kim 1t would
be well for him to take rest.
The Speaker believes that while the
Army reorganization bill is up for
several days in the House. and with
the naval appropriation bill coming
along. he would be in the chair only
very little while, because these
measures would be considered in the
committee of the whole. and there
fore now is the best time for him
to take a vacation.
When the Speaker made his request
in the House, Champ Clark, the
minority leader, said he was in favor
of making such authorization per-
manent, because the present rule,
which grants the Speaker only one
day absence. works a decided hard
ship upon the Speaker.

RAILROADS NOT AT FAULT.
TSioux CITY Journal

The Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton recently caused a survey of
dead" freight cars to be made in
494 towns Of that state. The survey
extended over a period Of seven DAYS,
The initials and numbers of thu, cars
on tracks to be loaded or usloaded
were taken on the first day and
checked on each subsequent day of
the survey. At the end of the seven
days it was found that 10 Ier cent OF
the cars on Illinois Central tracks
which were there at the beginning of
the survey were there at the end.
They had been kept on these loading
and unloading tracks for seven DAYS.
How long they had been there before
it commenced or how long thew re-
NAMED after it ended is not dis

hours, or three days, for loadin. or

ent that one-tenth of the cars in

excitement. Invent early to see the

the elephant, was the biggest, the
most dangerous the worst looking
beast ever laid my eyes on. hope,
Billy. you may never see one. for If
you do. your rest will be broken for
months. You will have such dreadful
nightmares"
Bob fairly shivered as he recalled
the elephant to mind.
Billy asked him no more questions
for he saw that~Bob had told him all
he knew about the subject. He made
up his mind that 1t would do no good
to ask any more OF his friends about
lit. but then happened to think of his
disreputahle acquaintance. the old
striped coon who lived in the big
chestnut tree down in the woods, so
he went down to see him.
Mr.. Coon was at home and few
knocks on the trunk of the tree with
Billy's horns brought him to the
door.
Hello, Billy Whiskers," said the
coon. What do you want? Don't you
know that this is my time for sleep
ing?"
Billy did know it. for he was aware
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-10-11

that Mr.. Coon spent his nights, to q
large extent at any rate, in robbing
hen roosts. In fact, their first meet
ing had been late one evening when
Billy had gone to the garden to select
some choice lettuce heads for his
own eating, a thing he wouldn't have
dared to do in the daylight. (This
was before he had entirely reformed.) }.
He was nibbling away at great rate
on the finest plant in the whole bed
when he was startled not little at
seeing a strange thing creeping
noiselessly along just inside the gar
den fence. 1t seemed to have fur and
also feathers. Just as Billy decided
that there was a spook after him and
it was time for him to run for his
life, the coon. for he 1t was, dropped
the white chicken he was carrying
along in his mouth. and said:
Good evening, Mr.. Billy WHISPERS.
have often seen you at a distance,
but have not had the pleasure Of
making your acquaintance before, II
seems that you, like me. get your
living at night. think that we ought
to be friends"
Poor Billy, what could he say? He
did not want to associate as a gener-
al thing with the coon who was
known to be thief, but at the same
time he did not see how he could
snub him under the circumstances.
So he replied politely to the coon's
greeting, and ever since they had
been more or less friendly, tho Billy
never told any one at Cloverleat
Farm that he knew the highwayman
and robber who lived in the old
chestnut.
Billy now answered the coon's
question by asking another.
"Mr. Coon. what's a circus?"

SPECIAL INTEREST" TWENTY YEARS AFTER

Candidate Harding found a quick
response to his declaration that he
Is preaching the gospel Of common
interest in the republic" the interests
Of all classes Of the people who make
up the nation.
1t Is good gospel. 1T is not new.
Senator Cummins has preached it
and lived 1t thru long public career
in Iowa and the nation.
He preached it and practiced it
when special interests controlled the
state of; Iowa, when the Special
counsel" Of railroad corporations sat
to give orders to legislatures and
censored the candidates. It is all
history now and men forget readily
with the ungratefulness Of men and
republics. But in those stormy days
Cummins stood as now preaching the
gospel Of common interests and
rights of all classes in the state and
the republic.
Some men there We're then and re-
main whose watchword was Gar
thago delenda est" whose opposition
went forward toward destruction.
Not SO Cummins. He preached the
gospel Of the republic, of service rem
dered by the great transportation
lines and a fair deal, and honest re-
turns for service. They should serve
and be paid for service honestly but
they should not rule. They were not
to control legislatures and sit as a
board Of censorship upon political
candidates for office. It was the true
gospel Of common interests as
against special interests. And today
all are agreed upon the ground where
two decades ago.
He is still preaching and practicins
the gospel of common interests. The
railroad worker in those older days
hailed Cummins as friend, even as
q champion. Yet Cummins was not
then a champion Of their special in
terests but a champion of common
interests against special interests
which sought to control to their own
advantage. The conditions have been
reversed. y new special interest
comes forward with demands. Today
the special interest seeking to con-
troll legislatures and congresses and

the trail of Cummins as the Danites
of the railroad corporations were

young lieutenant turned out to be an
efficient officer and distinguished
himself in the Mexican war in sever
al battles. He was given the honor
of raising the American flag over the
palace in the oity Of Mexico after it's
capture. Later he presented to the
state Of Iowa sword which had
belonged to the guerilla chief whom
he defeated in this war. and to the
state historical society a suit Of Mex

from the palace in the city Of Mexico.

TINE NEW LIBERTY CALENDER

real movement is on foot 10 70
Vlse and reorganize the calendar
those who are pushing il Womb re-
pace our present calendar with n
tlme record to be called the other
~ Calendar" Insctead Of months a,
UNEQUAL days the months OF the
Liberty" calendar would be Of coma,
length.
Inc plan is to divide the three
hundred and sixty-four DAYS OF each
year INTO thirteen equal months of
month being known as Liberty" and
placed between February and March.
Inc year will run--January, Febru-
ary' Liberty, March, ct cetra. New
years day is not included Mn any
week or month, and the extra day to
leap year to be called Correction
Day.. will be placed between the last
DAY OF September and the first day
OF October, and also will not be in
Guided in any week or month. The
1irst day OF each month will be Mon
day and consequently the eighth. fif-
teenth, and twenty second Of everv
month will always be Monday; SINH
iariy with all the other days OF the
week.
Il Is a sensible proposition. The
present calendar grew like Topsy.
Why should August have 81 ,days
ana February but twenty EIGHT In
fine until leap year gives it twenty
nine" Simply because Caesar Aug
ustas had his jealousy aroused by the
81 days Of July named for julius
Caesar and proposed to take one. day
from February to add to his own
month Of August thus eoualizine
things between the caesars. A Rom
an senate, more biddable to Augustus
than present day senates are to
compresent day caesars did as it was
told and August matched July In
length of days.
The Liberty Calendar" as pro-
posed has been arranged by a BUSH
ness mems association Of Minneapo-
lis and will be urged of adoption by
this and other countries. Some Of its
advantages and claims to considera-
ton are that it affords instant
knowledge OF the day Of the week on
which any given date would fall and
there would be no need to refer to
calendars to know on what days leg
al obligations. payments of notes,
holidays, anniversaries and SO forth
would come.
A sensible change would be from
the old fashioned calendar to the new
liberty system as proposed and from
our present system of weights and
measures to the metric system. There
is as much efficiency and no more in
retaining a crude system of time and
calculation as in holding fast to an
tiquated and bothersome methods in
business and industry The change to
the liberty calendar would be accom-
plished as easily as was the change
Old Style to New Style.
