Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-11-19

There are two candidates for speak
er of the recently elected Iowa house
of representatives,, G. w. Clarke, of
Dallas county, and M. L. Temple, of
Clarke county. Some newspapers
that perhaps wanted racy political
matter in their columns kept saying
the contest between them was on the
lines of the factions in state politics.
We do not believe this will be the
case, nor should it be. There may be
those who desire to keep alive faction
al differences in the party, but they
are not the best friends of the party
or of the state. From what we OBJ
serve Mr.. Clarke will surely be the
next speaker, but he will be elected
because of his personal qualities, po-
litical sagacity and the confidence the
membership have in him.

A. w. Lees resignation as post
master at Ottumwa is attracting COM
ment. A resignation of such good
Office is unusual. The salary is over
. 200. The only excuse for the I'M
common action is that Mr.. Lee desired
to be rid of the care of the post Office
and give his whole time to his news
paper business. He is a very success
full all around newspaper man. He
doubtless gets more satisfaction out
of his work managing the Courier and
in looking after his other newspaper
properties, than in serving Uncle
Sam as postmaster.

AT THE COUNTY FARM.
The County Court and Superintendent
Doing Their Best to Improve
Conditions.

Superintendent Watson of the
County Farm informs us that h,
is making headway in getting mat.
ters shaped up at the farm so as t,
render the inmates as comfortable
as possible. In this he is backed
up by the County Court in fur
nishing the necessary supplies.
The buildings have all been thor
oughly cleaned and whitewashed
and the walls repaired so as tc
make the rooms rs comfortable a>
they can be made. While the old
buildings ought to be abandoned
and torn down and new, com
modious building erected, every
thing can not he done at once
That is matter to be thought
over and the condition of the coun.
ty treasury considered Here are
some of the things that have been
done within the last few weeks:
The walls of the buildings have
all been cleaned, whitcwushcd and
all cracks closed up.
New iron bcdsteadS are being
put in and the old wooden ones
destroyed,
Material for new bed sheets and
ticks has been furnished, aud Mrs
Watts has been as busy rs she
could be in getting the sheets,
bedticks, etc, made up.
New underwear for all men ar.
tualIy in need has been furnished,
aud new, comfortable suits, coats
for some, vests and trousers for
others, us they wc"e needed.
Each of the women has been
furnished with two new dresses
and comfortable underwear.
The demented woman who has
been chained for years has been
loosed and allowed to go about at
will, being watched and cared for
at all times. So far she has given
but very little trouble.
1t will be seen by the foregoing
that the County Court and the
of the County |
Farm for the poor are alive to the !
awakened sentiment that these I'M
fortunate people should be better
cared for, and are dong what they
can for the bettcrmcnt of their con. |
iiton in this county.
