Howe and her brother Fred L. North ,
ey, left Sunday night for Fort Lyons,
Colorado, to bring back the body Of
Mrs. Howe's husband, Lieutenant
Commander Howe, who died at the

val hospital and In climate the
government decided was best for the
patient.

TO NAME eAYNoR's SUCCESSOR.
Governor Viii Appoint Man to Serve
Until Next Election.

Des Moines, Aug. 4.-Governor
Harding will not, for at least a week
or ten days, he says, make any ap-
pointment to the state supreme
court vacancy having been caused
by the death yesterday, of Justice
Frank r. Gaynor. The governor has,
under the constitution, the power to
appoint q justice who shall sit only
until the next general election in No
vember, when the voters will name
a successor of Justice Gaynor. The
choice of the voters will then serve
until Dec. 81, 1924.
1t was said at the state house late
that the republican state committee
has the power to select q candidate
for the judiciary ticket. There was
some question as to how a candidate
for the place would get on the repub-
lican ticket this fall. The republicans
have already held their judiciary con-
vention, and nominated three candi-
dates for the three positions on the
bench that existed prior to the death
Of Justice Gaynor.
The convention having met, trans
acted its business and adjourned, it
was Salu that IL COulu liOl De re-
convened for the purpose of selecting
a candidate to make the race for the
fourth place which will show on the
ticket in November.
The democrats, however, do not
have to meet this phase Of the stu
alton, as their judiciary convention
will not be held until Aug. IL. They
can at that time select three candi-
dates to run for the six year term, to
oppose Weaver, Faville and DeGraff.
They will then turn to the fourth
place and name candidate for the
unexpired term Of Justice Gaynor.
The republicans and democrats
will have to definitely specify can
didate for this particular vacancy
on the state supreme bench, it was
said by the governors legal advisers
and attaches of the attorney generals
office yesterday. This because an ap-
pointee can only hold until the next
general election. The man, republi-
can or democrat, who is named by
the voters to fill the unexpired term
of Justice Gaynor, will take office
Immediately after a canvass of the
November vote, and not wait, as his
brother candidates will be compelled
to wait until Jan J., 1921.

In connection with his review of the activities of naval aviation during the year, MT. Daniels asserts that the United States is "still far behind other countries in lighter-than-air craft" and urges con- tinuation of the develoument of this branch of the aerfa1 service.
 MT. Daniels again recommends gov ernment ownership of all radio facili- ties used in transocean and ship-to- ship traffic. Earnings of navy radio stations from commercial traffic dur inf the year were more than $1 ,1O0,- 900, the report says.
 The safeguarding of the navy's oil supply for the navy is vital to the service.
 Referring to agitation in the navy to "reorganize and militar- ize" the navy department, MT. Daniels says that "the impression appears to prevail in some quarters that what was sound enough and strong enough to win the world war is not sufficient ly safe to risk in times of peace"
 Reviewing the whole history of the department to show that efforts end the power of civilian secretaries are not new, the report declared that every trial of the general staff sys- tenn has resulted in failure and return civilian control.
 Underlying 99 per cent of the at tempts to bring about changes in the present organization of the navy de- partment," says MT. Daniels, "is the desire to make of the civilian secre- tary fubber stamp"

Exercise Your Franchise
Rights

Recently an audience in the city
of New York was told it would be
fifty to one hundred years before the
American people are able intelli-
gently to exercise the right of fran
chise. This severe arraignment
came as something Of shock to self
satisfied residents of the big town,
but there was more than a measure
of truth disclosed in the statement.
Perhaps 100 per cent of truth would
have been disclosed had it been said
50 years are likely to pass before
the American people WILL exercise
right of franchise intelligently, for
we must not forget our besetting sin
of apathy.
The average citizen believes he
has done full duty when he has cast
his vote, and he feels a sense of sat
isfaction when victory crowns his
own judgment. However, too often
our victory is but the mantle of de-
feat, for usually the voter has had no
voice whatever in the selection OF
the candidates for whom he has cast
his ballot. The average business
man pays more attention to the Sc
lection Of an Office boy for his bust
ness than he does to the selection of
