Cousins and Deliver.

The Des Moines Capital says that
Cousins is an orator without peer.
Many who have heard him will agree
to that statement. Cousins is slow
and has drawing way about him
that would make a stranger guess
that he could not make a speech. But
when he gets in motion and the gray
matter gets to working right an aud
fence will sit enthralled. The COuS-
ms way is all his own. He is not an
imitator and he is free from some of
those mannerisms that bother Mr..
Dolliver until You get used to him.
But there is but one DOlliver, great
orator and man of splendid brain.
Dolliver has a wider fame than COus-
ms and is more in demand but that is
the result of his having been longer
in public life. No other state in this
Union has two orators in the same
political party who can in any way
compare with them.-Dallas County
News.

There is much being said recently
about a primary election law for
Iowa. The sentiment as reflected in
the press seems to be favorable to a
law requiring primary election in
stead of the old caucus and conven-
ton plan. If such law is enacted it
will know no parties and will apply to
the democratic as we'll as to the re-
publican party. In this part of Iowa
the democrats seem to be willing to
get along with the old plan, but the
republicans are largely adopting the
primary plan. Audubon republicans
have just adopted it and will use it
for the first time next year. The
principles of the primary plan are
most excellent. If the primary is pro-
tected by good rules so each voter can
exercise his choice in the choosing OF
party nominees, it will likely be some
Improvement on the old caucus plan.
Every good party man and every good
citizen will surely favor the change
and hail it's coming as an event tend
ing toward the development of better
government.

If there isn't serious outbreak of
hOstilities at the reunion of the South
ern Iowa Veterans and Old Settlers
association at Lovillia, this month, it
will be strange. The following is q
partial list of the speakers who have
been secured for the occasion: "Jere"
Sullivan, Judge Smith Mcpherson, C.
A. Windell, editor of the Calling Gun;
Col. Lafayette Young, C. f. Rein
hart, the original Hearst man; Major
j. F. Lacey, Col. Lu Z. Genung, Fa-
Their Hays, of Imogene, Sid Foster, of
Des Moines, and various others.
There's tremendous lot of potential
trouble in that lot and LOvillia needs

County.

The Grinnell Gazette is opposed to
the denomination of Congressman
Lacey. 1t will be some time before the
Sixth district will have another con-
gresham as influential and useful as
their present member. Major Lacey
received his first nomination for con-
gress fifteen years ago this fall and
has since been regularly nominated at
each subsequent convention, and we
believe everytime by reclamation.
In that time he was only defeated once
that being in 1890 by Fred White.
There has been talk of opposition to
his denomination at different times be-
fore the convention met. Maj. Lacey
has won place of high esteem in the
opinion of the people of Iowa as we'll
as of his own district.

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending Aug. 3, 1903.
The first OF the week was dry and
very warm, followed well distributed
and beneficial showers and cooler
weather. The week closed warm and
showery, with some heavy local rains.
There was an average Of about four
days Of good harvest weather, which
was well improved. Except in por-
tons of the northern section the hay
and grain harvest is practically com
pleted. All reports indicate u very
heavy crop of hay, mostly secured in
good condition. Threshing wheat, oats
and barley is in progress, with some
what variable reports as to the yield.
Generally, however, the output OF
spring wheat and oats is reported to
be below the average In amount and
weight OF grain. The copious showers
have been timely and beneficial to the
corn crop, and AS whole IL has made
fairly good progress. II needs warm,
or weather in the future, and Is now
in condition to mature with but little
additional moisture. There are mum
erOus reports of damage to the potato
crop by rotting and blight. Their,
is no special change in tho condition
OF the apple crop.

The executive council has lower
ed the state levy from three and one
half to three mills. This was made
possible principally because of the in
crease of assessable values. Land is
assessed several dollars an acre high
er than it was three or four years ago,
and other property has been increased
in proportion. The raising and low
ering of assessments do not amount

King Edward is doing more to rec

has been done for a half century.
England is becoming more and more

Formal notice has been received by
the management Of the State Fair Aug
2l-20 that reduced rates of one fare
for round trip from all points of Iowa
and Omaha will be granted by the
Western Passenger Association from
Aug. 2O-3l. Other railroad questions
connected with the State Fair are set
tied satisfactorily. II is fully deter
mined that the Rock Island will run
night trains to and from the fair
grounds, thus making IL possible for
every one who wishes to attend the
evening spectacular performances by
the Pain Company with the least pos
sible Inconvenience. The lstreet rail
way facilities at the fair this year, too
will be better than ever. The system
Of carrying passengers into the center
of the fair grounds will undoubtedly
prove satisfactory to patrons of the
street railway line.

to much because the levieS are to be
adjusted to suit. If the assessment is
raised the levy can be lowered and if
the assessment is lowered the levy
must be raised. They surely ought to
be changed as seldom as possible.
The main thing is to get the assess
ments equitable between different
parts of the state and between various
classes of property. Since Gov. Cum
Minis has gone in Office the railroad
assessments have been increased from
fortyseven to tifty-six and one-half
million dollars. 1t looks like an
honest effort was made to require the
roads to pay their share of the taxes.

Land Assessments.

The executive council has finished
its equalization work. Equalization
of assessments is q difficult job. We
are all watchful to see if we are not
assessed too high as compared with
the other fellow. Below we give a
table showing the land assessments in
the counties in this vicinity. Audu-
bon county was allowed u decrease of
two percent. 1t looks to us that

In several of our exchanges we
notice that the street fair comes in for

frequently made that it has about run

more harm than good.
