DINUS TROUPE, PROSPER TROUPE
GREATEST OF EUROPE'S ACROBATS
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1905-02-16

The speech made by Col. Hepburn
the other day, as he closed the debate
on the Townsend-Esch bill, was one
of the greatest made this session.
Since then not SO many have been ac-
cusing him of being against Iowa in
terests. The impression gained cur
rency throughout the country that he
was with the roads and against the
president in the latter's wish to give
the railway commission more power.
Some newspaper correspondents are
meddlesome and unfair some times,
and our impression is they have dealt
unfairly with Col. Hepburn. His
general course as chairman of that
great committee has not indicated that
be was opposed to the peoples inter.
ests and leagued with the corporations,
He was all the time one of the best and
most useful friends the inter-oceaniC
canal project ever had, and that was
not in the interest of the roads.

viii Test Seed Corn.

The Farm Crop Department OF the
Agriculture college is DESTROYS oil
obtaining accurate information on the
terminating qualities of seed corn
throughout the state this spring.
Much of the corn entered for premiums
at Corn Shows and Farmers Institutes
has proven, on close examination, To
be badly injured by freezing, and con
sequently is very low in vitality. The
past three unfavorable seasons have
greatly reduced the terminating power
of our corn and unless unusual pre-
cautions are taken with the seed in
tended for planting this spring there
will be poor stand and O proper
tionately low yield.
We desire TO have every farmer who
reads this notice to take one hundred
representative ears of his seed corn
remove two kernels from each ear
send these two hundred kernels to the
Farm Crop Department OF the Iowa
State College, Ames, where germln
alton test will be made. A report vii
be mailed TO him as soon as the tes
is completed. The names OF individ
uals will not be made public. BE sure
to enclose your name with the sample
We will consider IL favor II you
will cooperate with us in our en-
deavor to ascertain the condition o
the seed corn in Iowa this spring.

Some People Get In a Hurry.

There be those who become impa-
tient at once If they find a bad condi-
ton existing, and want to overturn
everything and commence over again.
The wiser way is to ascertain the
trouble, and try to remedy the condi-
ton with as little disarrangement as
possible. We are led to this obser-
walton by the remark that the repub-
lican party would be turned down at
the next election if the trusts are not
busted very soon. There are two ex-
tremes that may be pursued towards
the trusts the same as in many other
movements. One is to encourage and
aid them and the other is to confis-
cate their property and destroy them.
To pursue reasonable policy that is
lawful and just towards capital and
that is in the interests of the people,
requires time and study. Such plans
cannot be made in day, but are
growths coming from discussion. No
one can justly say but that the presi-
dent and majority of congress are
laboring hard to carry out the wishes
of the public along these lines. These
are new problems never before en-
countered by governments.
AS fast as human thought envolves
plans for dealing with trusts that are
shown to be lawful, just, safe and
beneficial to the people, congress will
adopt them.

Townsend's Sudden Rise.

Washington correspondence of the
Chicago Evening Post: Representa-
tive Charles E. Townsend of the Sc
cond district of Michigan, who has
come into such prominence through
the reporting of the railroad rate mea-
sure to the house, has taken one long
step in the direction of securing the
nomination for third term in dis
trict where the people don't believe in
third terms. Representative Town
send is just finishing his first term in
congress. He was elected last fall for
his second term. 1t Is an unwritten
law in his district that no man shall
be elected three times. Townsend S
constituents are now ready to forget
that law, and they are sending him
word to that effect daily.
Representative Townsend went
through the whole of the last session
and the greater part OF the present
session without asserting himself.
He had the modesty which is supposed
to be becoming to new members. Then
all in a minute Townsend saw an
opportunity and seized it. He let 1t
be known that his views on the rail-
road matter were and always had been
counter to those of most of the repub-
licans in the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, of which he is
a member. The result was that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent for Townsend and
made him his spokesman. In day
the Michiganman was in THU public eye.
Mr.. Townsend is square-shoulder-
ed, rather stockily built man, with a
strong face. He has had hard time
of it in the commerce committee since
the day he set his opinions against
men who had grown gray in congress.
If the president had not been back OF
the Michigan man he would not have
carried his pointagainst men like Hep
burn of Iowa, Sherman of New York,
and the rest; nevertheless, he would
have made fight for 1t. He shows
fight in every line of his face. Pos
sibly the president had studied Town
sends face before he sent for him.

For School Teacher and Parents.

The mathematical editor of the
Council Bluffs Nonpariel propounds
the following arithmetical problem,
which is solved with startling clear
ness by Bailey of Britt; "a boy
feet, 6 inches and weighing 81 pounds
can climb tree Go feet tall aud ten
inches through in one minute and 4
seconds. How many minutes will it
take him to climb out of q bed / foot
8 inches high on cold morning?"
Britt Tribune-That is nothing but
plain mathematical problem. 1t
will be easier to do it by algebra.
Let X equal the boy, if he is of the
average size, or if he has been "stunt-
ed" let it equal two boys. 1t can do
that easily when it comes to getting
up in the morning in the winter. Your
tree is too darned high, call it 40 feet
and foot through, that will be near
err to it. Now multiply the tree by the
bed, reduce the minutes to inches and
the seconds to pounds, extract the
square root by winding the hypote-
muse around the boys neck, take one
bed Stat for his base, another for his
perpendicular and when you get the
root apply it where it will do the most
good. In ordinary weather if the
square root holds out, and the bed
slat doesn't break, the answer should
be in seconds. You can also do it by
the rule of three, but we have always
found the rule of two sufficient for
our boys when they didn't weigh more
than 81 pounds apiece.

Farmer Burns gave one of his enter
tainments at Upton recently, so we
see by the Advertiser. He was raised
near there. AS is we'll known he is
one of the greatest wrestlers in the
United States, being champion many
years. He is "A years old now and
only knows one or two men who can
throw him. He is great example of
physical manhood. He never appears
on the mat but makes little talk to
his audience and always speaks OF the
fact that he never uses liquor or to-
bacco. His temperance talk is practi'
cal and is worth more to the boys who
aspire to be strong men, and what boy
does not want to be strong, than the
most eloquent and impassioned ap-
peals of the orator.

The Corn Gospel Special Train.

Professor Holden, of the Iowa state
College at Ames is rapidly perfecting
plans for campaign through the state
in the interests of better seed corn foi
Iowa farmers.
The Chicago & North Western Rail.
way has placed special train at his
disposal and he will spend the latter
half of February in making some OF
his most talks at the various
stations along the line of that road.
The Grain Dealers Association is
taking an active interest In the plans
and it is hoped that our citizens, par
ticularly those who are directly inter-
ested in the growing or handling the
grain crop, will take measures immed-
lately to get into communication with
the Professor and with the railroad
people and see to it that an audience
is guaranteed him here, and applica-
ton made before all the dates are TAX
en-, so that he will be sure to stop here
on his way through. 1t is necessary
that immediate action be taken.
The farmer who carries out the in
structions that are included in Prof.
Holden's plan for the selection of seed
need have no trouble in increasing the
size of his crop in tremendous pro-
portion. A day or two's work in
making proper selection of seed will
mean thousands of bushels increased
production.
Prof. Holden does not leave any
room for argument; his talks are Sc
clear and practical that there is only
one side to the question.
Our people should get into touch
with the agent of The North Western
Line here at once, so that our town
will, without fail, be selected as a
stopping place for the Corn Gospel
Train. wi
