Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-10-22


Speaking of couf ~ treasurer Bren-
imam the Advocate said last week ''He
has never had any interests in the
county other than his salary and he
has always invested that elsewhere
IL the editor of the Advocate had pre-
ferred to tell the truth he could easily
have found the facts by examining the
books at the treasurer's Office or by
asking persons familiar with the facts.
Mr.. BRENNAN owned 200 acres in the
south part of Hamlin township over
two years, paying taxes on 1t two years
selling it about the time he was elected
treasurer. He owned 40 acres in Oak
field township, paying taxes on it one
year. He and f. A. Beason owned so
acres in Douglas township, paying
taxes on it one year. Mr.. BRENNAN
also owned house and lot in Extra,
paying taxes on 1t four years or more,
These are known to all the people in
the vicinity of where these properties
have been located. We mention this
principally to correct the false impress
sion on the subject which the Advocate
may have made in the minds of few,
though we do not think many any
longer believe its statements on po-
litical subjects.

We must expect that in politics." But
we ought NOT to have to expect that in
politics. x man, il he is man, will
be as truthful in politics as he is in
business. A good citizen will no more
undertake to mislead his neighbors by
lying to them on political affairs than
he would in business. A man who is
crooked in politics will be crooked in
business and one who is crooked in
business will be crooked in politics.
The fault is in the man and not in the
politics. Politics gives no better
or more fertile field for the successful
liar than, does the practice of law, or
medicine, or store keeping, or insur-
ance, or stock buying, or selling land
or dozens of other avocations, and
in all or any other lines the liar and
crooked fellow will be found out soon
err or later. A lie in politics often
attracts more attention than lie in
business, because il is mostly about
subjects OF public interest, but that
should not cause people to think poll
itics Is more corrupt than business.
Some liars sometimes think they have
more license to exercise their black
art in politics than in business, and
we think the public ought to disabuse
their minds of this pretty quick. Pol
itics ought to be free from misrepre-
sentation. So ought business.
