Assuming that the early returns

An election day dispatch from Sa-
vannah, Georgia, says that mo white
women presented themselves at the
polls today That is not the course
the women followed in the north. III
most states up this way a large ma
jOrity of them voted. 1t might be eX-
planned that the women in Georgia
didn't vote because the laws of that
state require registration six months
before election. Some may wonder
why there should be such Il law. But
lit is perfectly plain. 1t is right in
line with the policy OF the south to
keep the vote in the hands of a com
parativcly few. Only the politicians
would keep tab on the day of regis
tration and they could be relied upon
to give reminders to the few voters
who could be relied upon to vote right.

All loyal Americans will hope that
Senator Harding and the advisors he
will select may be able to steer the
old ship of state safely through the
reefs and hat after the storm has sub
sided she will be solidly anchored in
the placid and tranquil waters OF sta
bility and progress.
The new administration, when it as.
sumcs the duties of authority next
March, will need the support of the
American people as a whole and may
justly expect the encouragement Of
every man and woman who gave the
Republican party vote of confidence
on election day.
The Freeman-Journal believes it
realizes the responsibilities and duties
of the party and it certainly hopes and
expects those responsibilities and
duties will be courageously met.

FLOWERS BY THE WAY.

Eds. Freeman-J ournal: can't re
frain from saying word in praise of
the high stand your paper has taken
in the late campaign. The fine editor

have done much to mould public opin-
ion, thereby aiding in the campaign
Especially did it assist Senator Cum
Minis in his fight when so viciously as
!saulted by dema gogism. Your editorial
in the election extra was a gem. All
honor to the Freeman-JOurnal! May it
continue in the future as III the past

With malice toward none, and free

An analysis of the vote here in Ham
ilton county proves conclusiyely that
nearly all the Republicans who sup
ported Smith Brookhart for senator at
the primaries last June supported Sen
ator Cummins at the election. This
fact is most reassuring. Many Repub-
licans who were for Cummins last
spring were apprehensive Of large
portion of the Brookhart support, but
election results prove such appre-
tensions were groundlcss. Nine-tenths
of the Brookhart following in this
county showed on election day that
they were loyal Republicans.

MUST TAKE UP THE BURDENS.

Sioux City Journal: The Republican
party cannot get away from the bur-
dens of gross democratic incompetency
in the past. The obligations of the
government, contracted and assumed
under the Wilson administration, are
binding until redeemed. The republi-
can party is not responsible for the
waste of public money during the war.
That money was borrowed from the
people, who loaned it in good faith.
Principal and interest must be paid.
This involves the continuation of war
taxes until future generations complete
the payment Of the penalty of demo-
cratic incompetency and improvidence
during the war. But the republican

Not a few Republicans heard of the
defeat of Champ Clark with some re.
grets. Champ is among the old land
marks of congress and has many
friends among Republicans. He is a
picturesque personality and would have
been nominated for president in 1917
by the Baltimore convention but fol
the fight started in the convention by
w. J. Bryan, who decided that he was
n reactionary because of the support
he was getting from Tammany. Had
Mr.. Clark been nominated then, in all
probability he would be president today
and the chances are at least ten to
one that the Democratic party and the
country would be in much better con-
dition.

of Iowa how foolish it seems now that
any considerable number of Republi-

Kenyon ought to resign because, it was

DIR. KNEES VICTORY.

The people Of Iowa who want to see
some plan devised that will tend to
prevent strikes in essential industries,
and at the same time give w0rkmen the
assurance of just treatment and rea-
sonable wages. will be rejoiced at the
election of DR.. J. w. Kline as repre-
sentative in the lower house of the
Iowa legislature from Webster county.
1t was a three cornered fight, the Dem
ocratic candidate being Richard Nit
chel and the labor candidate being
Geo Anderson. With tlrree-quarters
of the county in DR.. Kline had ma
jority over the Democratic candidate
of 2,5O6.
During the transfers strike in
Fort Dodge last winter many in
dustries and other institutions suffer
ed severely because nobody could be
secured to deliver coal, even the hos
pital being deprived Of this absolute
necessity. DR.. Kline, who is a prac-
ticing physician, was wrought up over
the suffering among the patients in the
hospital and at that time announced
his candidacy for the legislature upon
platform pledging his efforts, if
elected, to the formulation of some law
that would tend to remedy such serious
conditions Ha wont into fha nrima nv
fight with determination and won the
nomination after a hard contest. He
continued the fight vigorously after
his nomination until election and was
rewarded with victory.
DR.. Kline is not pledged to efforts
looking to the prevention of all
strikes, but to efforts tending to pre-
vent strikes in such industries as are
essential to the life and health of the
community. While every fair minded
person will admit that labor is often
justified in striking-Often that the
strike is legitimate weapon-all
fair minded persons must also admit
that the public has rights which or
ganized labor and all other Organiza-
tons should respect. Among these
rights of the public are those to pre-
serve life and health.
DR.. Kline and those who believe as
he does upon these questions are not

implacable foe of the Wilson League

THE FARM CENSUS.

The national census bureau has just
issued report on the increase and
decrease of farms in the various
states and counties Of the United
States since the census was taken
twenty years ago. While some Of the
states show loss in the number of
farms, which is regrettable, on the
whole there are more farms today by
I71o,626 than there We're in 1900. The
number twenty years ago was 5,737,-
372 and the number now is 6,449,99S
an increase since 1900 of 11.3 per cent.
In 1910 there were 6,361 ,502, hence the
increase during the past ten years has
been only IA per cent
Such states as Iowa, Illinois. Kan
SaS, Minnesota. South and North Da-
kota show large decrease. lu 1920
there were 22S,622 farms in Iowa and
now there are only 213,312. Illinois
dropped from 2G4,1 in 1900 to 49,
153 in 1920, an dmany other states fol-
lowed the same trend.
However, such states as Texas, Ari-
IONA, Arkansas, Colorado, California,
Georgia and South Carolina show
heavy increases, Arizona increasing
from $500 to 1O,S16, Georgia from
224.691 to 31O,737, South Carolina
from 155,335 to 192,664, while Texas
jumped from 352, 100 to 435,G66. Such
eastern states as New York New
Hampshire. New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island show marked rcduc-
tons.
Hamilton county has followed the
general course of Iowa. In 1920 there
were 2.245 farms in this county. In
1910 the number had fallen to 2,219
and now it is 2.1S1.
From an analysis of this report of
the census bureau it appears that the
number Of farms has decreased in the
best farming states and increased in
