Zoe and
- Her Problems

Zoe's heart was light on the re-
turn journey. Her mother was
better, she had confessed to Allen
and her sisters were here for a long
visit. What more could she ask!
1t seemed that her troubles had
been swept away with one powerful
stroke. That Allen was relieved
and pleased at the trend of events
she knew by his changed demeanor.
The children sensed the changed
atmosphere and responded to her
happy mood, and once more the
house rang with childish voices and
laughter.
The fall and winter passed rapidly
During the Christmas vacation Zoe
entered into the spirit of che festiv-
tiles with almost childish abandon,
and she had an able second in Allen
who loved to see them happy and
spared no pains to that end. Her
sisters too who extended their visit
until we'll toward spring, added
much to her enjoyment.
During the winter Zoe had much
food for thought. Her sisters were
ardent church workers and were
strong believers in public service,
Zoe had always felt that her home
duties came first and had but en-
tered into active church service, but
now that her children were not so
dep endent upon her but that she
might absent herself for a short
time occasionally she wondered if
it was not a duty which she owed
the church to give them what assist
ance she could without neglecting
her home folks.
Allen who favored mixing with
the neighbors more than they had
done encouraged her in the thought
with the result that she determined
when the school year had ended to
do her part in the active work OF
the church.

Woman's New Role
Choosing a Governor

Choosing a Governor
One of our duties as voters in
the coming election is to choose
between MIR. Kendall and Mr. Her.
ring, whose records and views were
presented on the front page of the
Journal last week for the governor
ship of Iowa.
In making this decision. we
should remember that the powers
OF the governor are far greater than
most people believe. The three
reasons for this are named below:
(D He executes, or enforces,
the laws of the state.
81 AS head of the executive
council, his decisions and influence
largely determine the value of all
taxable property and also the ex-
penditure of all moneys raised by
taxation.
(3) He appoints members of
many state boards and commits
sions. as we'll as other officials, who
manage, supervise and control the
most important kinds of business
carried on by the state of Iowa.
Among these are the board of con-
troll of state institutions, the state
board of parole, the board of edu-
cation, the state highway commits
sion, the state dairy and food COM
missioner, insurance commissioner,
fire marshal, commissioner of labor,
bank examiner, and so on. There
are in the neighborhood of forty
boards, commissions and depart-
ments in Iowa whose members thus
receive their positions at the gov
ernor's hands.
Looking back over these three
! great lines of work and responsible
| ity which fall to HIM, we see that
the first requires that he be faith
full. fearless and impartial; that the
second calls for the highest order
of business ability as we'll as a
broad and sympathetic understand
ing OF the life and conditions of
people of all classes, else taxes are
liable to be opportioned unfairly !;
and the third demands that he be
a man OF inf1eXible integrity who
is above all ambitious desire to
build up what is called political
machine, which he can easily do
by the simple plan of filling the
numerous appointive offices with
men who will do his bidding at
subsequent elections.
If he falls short in the first duty
above, we can see that the laws
are liable to be loosely enforced
if he is lacking in the second, taxes
will not be equitably distributed
and public money is liable to be
squandered; and if he falls short in
the third, we may expect the APP
pointment of men to the various
offices, who are chosen because OF
their political influence, and who
are liable to be both incompetent
and corrupt.
With these things in mind, the
parallel articles on the two candi-
dates for the governorship which
we published last week should be
read; and if after this it still seems
hard to reach a decision, the Jour
nails own view of the contest for
this high Office, which other people
are free to accept or reject, will be
found in our last weeks "Our
Weather Eye" department.
