Harris, son of "Uncle Remus," for
mer managing editor of the Atlanta
Constitution and later manager of
the Paris edition of the New York
Herald. Following is a portion of
the announcement in the Enquirer
Sun:
with this issue Mr.. R. L. McKen-
ney, of Macon, sewers his connection
with the Enquirer-Sun, his interest
having been purchased by Thomas
w. Loyless, who afterwards sold to
Mr. Julian Harris, of Atlanta, a one
half interest in the stock of the En-
ouirer-Sun company, and the paper
TODAY comes under the ownership and
management of Messrs. Loyless and
Harris, who will from now on make
their homes in Columbus.
"Mr. Loyless, as is known, has been
anuaIlv interested with Mr.. Mcken-
new in the Enauirer-Sun since April,
19i6. having, with Messrs. B. 5. Mil

and to this end, in September last,
purchased the stock interests OF
Messrs Miller and Benjeman, soon
thereafter coming to Columbus for
the purpose of recognizing the prop

"After an experience OF some
weeks in Columbus, Mr.. Loyless came
to the conclusion that the morning

portunity for greater growth and de-
velopment than could be fully taken
advantage of by one-man-

of editor and manager combined IN

Mr.. Julian Harris, with whom he was
associated on the Atlanta Constltu,,

Europe, where he was general man
ager of the European Edition OF

"Mr. Harris accepted an invita-

CLEAN UP DAYS
ARE HERE NOW
Don't Make The Attempt by Remov.
ing Rubbish From The Front
Yard to The Rear.
GET 1T AWAY TO |
THE DUMPING GROUNDS.
Remove The Ash Heaps, Clean up
the Gardens From Dead Leaves
and Stalks, Burn and Re-
move all Kinds Litter.

The average town looks in April
like the man who spent the night In
an. overcrowded sleeping car. with
no chance at the wash room.
The householder has something TO
do on these lovely April days but
listen to the sweet bird songs and
drink in the balmy airs. Let these
cheering suggestions encourage him
to take hold with a will and give
his place a general scrubbing and
combing. There are ash heaps to
remove, gardens to be cleaned from
their dead leaves and stalks, and all
kinds of litter to burn or remove.
Some people clean up by removing
rubbish from the front yard to the
rear. lot of others argue that if
they did straighten up the place. it
would soon get into disorder again.
So what is the use?
Anyway Smith says his place
looks just as well as Jones's, and
Jones says Robinson hasn't anything
on him. So why bother.
Acting on that theory many neigh
borhoods run along year after year
in chronic disorder. The neighbor-
hood that slacks on its yards is like
ly to feel that painting is not neces-
sary. Also it puts off repairs until
blinds are dangling, sheds almost
fall over, and the whole street gets
an air of disrepute.
Now il one man on such a street
would clean up, it would encourage
his neighbors to do likewise. Soon
they feel that not merely should rub
bish be removed. but the buildings
should be put into better repair. AS
a result, a metamorphosis takes place
that will add so per cent to the SELL
ing value of property.
Decorah is on the whole a very
place. But it takes constant
vigilance to maintain high stand
ard. A great deal of rubbish and
litter has accumulated through the
winter Every householder should
do his share of clean up work

LOWDEN HAS THE LEAD.
More Delegates Than Wood at This
Time.

Washington, d. C.-Republican
conventions and primaries to date
show the following results:
Republican conventions and pri-
maries to date give a total of As in
structed delegates for Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood, nine for Gov. Frank
o. Lowden and 10 for Senator Hiram
Johnson.
OF the uninstructed delegates Low
den expects. to get IA from Con-
necticut, II from Georgia, 26 from,
Kentucky and Is from Oklahoma, a
total of 10. Wood expects to control
eight from Florida, IL each from
Louisiana and Maine and two from
Oklahoma. total of "a. This makes
Lowden's possible total to date 81
Woods 80 and Johnson's 10.
This leaves Hoover, Harding and
Poindexter entirely out of considera.
ton and puts Johnson far behind
in the running. Political observers
however, are certain these four men
must be reckoned in the running.

Is Not Otherwise Disqualified
May Cast Her Ballot.

In order to make more clear tn,
fact that Iowa women have the righ
\ to vote for president of the Unitet
States this fall Governor Harding, Ii
letter to Mrs. Pauline L. Dewitt, o
| Oskaloosa, forwarded today, set
forth the Iowa statute which givei
them this privilege. The letter is II
reply to letter of inquiry from Mrs
Davitt, well known as suffragt
worker in Iowa. In his letter tn,
governor says:
Your letter of recent date at hand
in which you ask the question as Il
the right of the women of Iowa tt
take part in the caucses for the Sc
lection of delegates to nominate pres
idential candidates and also the
right of Iowa women to vote fol
president in the November election.
Permit me to say in reply We dc
not vote directly for president but
for electors. Both of your questions
are answered in the affirmative.
Women of legal age and other re.
quirements. the same as men, are en-.
titled under the constitution of the
United States and the law OF the
state of Iowa to take part in presi-
dental caucuses and conventions
and to vote for presidential electors
at the November election.
Section of Article II Of the con-
stitution OF the United States is as
follows; Each state shall appoint in
such manner as the legislature there
OF may direct number of electors,
equal tor the whole number of sena-
tors and representatives to which the
state may be entitled in congress-
"You will observe from this that
each state shall appoint these elect
ors as the legislature thereof may
direct. In Iowa the legislature has
made such direction. Chapter 353,
acts OF the Thirty-eighth general
assembly, makes provisions for this
in the following language:
Provided, however, that the
right to vote for presidential electors
shall not be denied or abridged on
account of sex and that every woman
who has attained the age of p years
and who possesses all other qualifi-
cations requisite to a male voter,
shall be entitled to vote the same as
men, at any election held for the pur-
pose of electing presidential electors.
II trust this will make clear the
fact that the women of Iowa are en-
franchised to the fullest extent for
the selection of the next president of
the United States and that you will
give the matter such publicity that
all the women of the state will be
appraised of the fact"

work to be supervised. etc, There is
an immense amount of detail work
that no one but a person who Is
familiar with the work can possibly
foresee. For instance. the stadia sur
veys alone will require the making
of some 10000 to $4,000 readings
and twice that number of calculat-
ions for the plating alone. Then
there will be the quantities to figure,
which mean many more computa-
tions. And with all this work, there
will be the criticism of all the people
who have their pet ideas about how
to go about the work, and who do
not get a chance to demonstrate how
perfectly sane and feasible their
methods are, and how much better
than any other scheme.
After the work of the survey by
the engineers is completed contract

GREAT LECTURE MONDAY NIGHT
Expert Lecturer Told of Causes for
Loss in Retail Business and
How to Remedy Them.

| A very interesting lecture on re
tail merchandising was given Mon
day night at the Grand opera house
when G. w. Sulley, expert lecturer
of the National Cash Register Co
told of the causes for loss in retail
business, and how they could be
remedied. A large number of mer.
chants and salespeople were present
Steroptican slides and motion pictur.
es were used throughout the lecture
by Mr.. Sulley to emphasize the var.
ious points. The lecture was under
the auspices of the Decorah Com
mercial club and Mr.. Sulley was in
troduced by President Geo. Johnson
of the club.
Inefficient business methods cause
the great majority of losses" said
Mr.. Sulley. He then cited figures to
prove this fact, showing that last
year 9,430 merchants failed This
means thirty-one failures every busi-
ness day; one every twenty minutes, 4"
Particular emphasis was laid on the
value Of newspaper advertising to
the retail merchant in the lecture.
Mr. sulley said in part: More peo-
pie can be reached oftener and at
less expense by newspaper advertis-
ing, than by any other medium. But
don't spend a few dollars advertis-
ing, and then say advertising doesn't
pay Make advertising a continuous
policy of your store, and you will
not be disappointed with results" ="
The proper method of preparing
newspaper advertisements was shown
by Mr.. Sulley.
Window display problems. eff
cheney of clerks, store organization,
selling methods. system in retail
business, and delivery problems were
also discussed in an interesting man
ner.
The three reel motion picture film.
Troubles of Merchant and How to
Stop Them which was shown in
connection with the lecture, was
big feature of the evening. In a vivid
manner, the troubles of merchant
who conducted his store along out
of-date lines was shown. Although
this particular merchant was shaving
along IA hours day, he was on the
verge of bankruptcy, with no pros
poets of ever succeeding. BY eliminat-
ing his leaks and losses, he became
successful in financial way.
The chief character in the film was
Mr.. White, a merchant. His store
was located in an old, unattractive
building. High windows prevented
good display of merchandise. The
sidewalk in front of his store was
dirty. Consequently, many people
passed his doors to buy elsewhere.
His clerks were Indifferent. Poor
business methods lost him what
money he took in. He seemed TO be
hoplessly in debt.
At this point a change came. He
was induced to install modern busi-
ness methods. He cleaned up his
store, kept constantly in touch with
every detail of his business, and
soon he became a prosperous mer-
chant.
The lecture was one of the best
ever given in this city.

IRepuhIIcan A. 2. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The sen ate agreed today to vote at o'clock next Saturday on the Republican peace resolution.
 The arrangement followed an i'm portant revision of the measure by the Republican leaders in striking out the clause requesting the president to ne- gotiate a separate peace treaty with Germany in order to establish friendly relations and commercial intercourse '
 Adoption of the resolution is conceded by Democratic opponents, with veto by President Wilson, regarded as equally certain.
 It proposes to repeal war declarations with both Germany and Austria, while the house measure dealt with Germany alone and differed radically also in other respects.

Republican members of the mild reservation groups in the treaty fight
 Both senators criticized President Wilson, charging him with delaying peace by his position on the treaty and predicting Republican success in the November campaign if the treaty issue were carried into the campaign as he had urged.
 During the debate another Democrat, Senator King of Utah, came out in op- position to the presidents position on the treaty issue. MT. King, who voted for some of the Lodge reservations, ex- pressed belief that the San Francisco platform would not follow the presi- dents wishes.
 Is the only speaker scheduled tomorrow and the debate will be closed by the party leaders for the Republicans and Senator Underwood for the Democrats in opposition.
