sovereign in his own right-a free

protest against abseluteism was the
building OF our American republic.
At massive Plymouth Rock was laid
the foundation of government, with
freedom as its cornerstone, sad on the
majestic James were lighted the fres
of liberty, which no monarch has ever
been able to extinguish. From thirteen
struggling colonies, with no capital
save sturdy hands and patriotic hearts,
this little nation of the West has ex'
panded into the grandsst republic on
the face of the earth, and ranks with
England, Russia and GNrmany as a
world power. Its growth has been in
accord with the logic of events, and
each generation of its statesmen have
proven equal to the problems which
confronted them. Ii has demonstrated
10 greater exten: the possibilities of
a republic than any ether government
that now exists. 1t has come to be the
mecca of refugees from every cline who
wish to escape the tyranny OF royal
rule.
The American citizen is in4eeo a
king. His will, fnitely expressed in
the Constitution, is the grand center
around which the government OF states
moves and has its being, He makes
and unmakes policies; be creates and
destroys systems, and chooses with.
out restriction the instruments of
rights and many of them exercise these

citizens of that state. While the per.
version OF the rights of the state is a
glaring deieet in our system. it does
not materially interfere with the great.

pronounced trend of the Goth century
toward civilization. The state Will al.
ways be self'governing in matters pure.

will gradually become supreme in the

for the better will come when the Ma.

upon to speak November 9Th. He will
be asked TO preserve tAe sacred heri-

The ladies of the church realized
nearly $4,000 from their bazar at
Kimballton June 9Th. Their patron
age was good and the money will be
used for good purpose.
James Towering, one of our pros
porous, we'll to do farmers north east
of Klmballton will soon begin the
erection of new barn on his place.
1t is to be large enough to protect his
stock during the bad season and will
make vast improvement on his
place.
The Bethana church north of Kim
ballton have the bill of lumber,
bought of the home yard, with
which to erect a large barn for the
protection of teams during services.
This is good deed for ga merciful
man is merciful to his beast" One
can worship better if he knows that
his horses are we'll cared for.
We understand that there was a
slight difference between Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Madison in North Sharon in
which the lady became tired of
the bed and board Of her liege lord
and left for relatives. We had heard
that once before war had been declared
but truce agreed upon which only
lasted until last Saturday night.
when the lady beat retreat.
Last Sunday there was merry gath
ering at the home Of F. Grumstrup
up near the Sharon Creamery. 1t
was birthday party in honor of Miss
Teresa. Many were up from Kim
ballton and as they INDUCED in inno-

time flew until toward morning. All
who were present relate fine time
and we all guarantee that the young
lady will long remember this birth
day.
Our enterprising merchant Hans
Madsen has purchased the lumber for
the erection of more store room in
Kim ballton. Hans has long felt the
need of more room. With constant
ly growing trade his room has grown
TOO crowded to do justice to either
himself or his customers. The new
store will be % by 30 feet and fixed
up in the latest style. Hans is man
who wishes to suit his patrons. He
buys his goods with that view and
sells them with the same view
When he has the new store completed
which he expects to begin the first
OF July, he will be more able to suit
all Of his trade in every line. The
kimballton Lumber Co. furnish the

Fort DODGE, Ia, June 13.-Gever-

Governor Shaw's attention having

hearty support and to have received
from the latter a letter in acknowledge
ment. He expects to do everything in
his power for Iowa's only candidate.

All Democrats not "Antis"

Editor Lon Boydston, of the Monte
yuma Gowa) Democrat, is democrat
of the reliable kind, as indicated by
the following extract from a letter
from his son Bert" who is serving in
the Add U. S. Infantry in the Philip
pines:
imperialism and militarism and all
such bugaboos don't go over here with
us soldiers. The Stars and Stripes
are here to stay, and don't you forget
it. Palsied be the arm that ever at
tempts to haul them down. Let the
men of the United States who so sym
pathize with the ladrones come over
here and learn lesson of loyalty to
our Flag and our Nations honor. Low
ingly your son, BERT, Co. ID. Add U.
S. Inf.
That democratic son is shooting in
the Philippines as he would vote if he
were at his Iowa home next November,
and he would never vote for a man
who had encouraged and aided Aguin-
aldo in continuing his war against the
army of the United States. The Boyd
stons are gold standard democrats and
they are loyal to the American Flag.
There are no better citizens than that
sort of democrats have proved them
selves to be in 1896 and 1906.
