NO FEDERAL SUPERVISION
Congress Not Likely to 4dopt Presi-
dents Insurance Recommendation.
[From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The President has
been urged to embody in his message a strong
recommendation that a measure providing for
federal supervision Of insurance be enacted, and
he is understood to have expressed this senti-
ment although it is said by the advocates of
this programme that he has done with less
emphasis than they had hoped for. There does
not appear, however, to be any reasonable
ground for a belief that the recommendation
will receive favorable consideration by Con-
gress, where there Is a strong disposition to
shelve the measure certain to be introduced by
Senator Dryden and similar measures which
will probably be introduced by others
New-York tribune., 1905-11-24

We don't believe in getting up on
a high horse just because we ourselves
stick to an all wool standard.
Many cloths containing mercerlzed
cotton will give good value when sold
at fair price.
The point is that they can't give
the all wool service we've always
asked our customers to expect from
us.
But the greater evil lies not in the
use of part-cotton, but in the methods
by which it is put in competition with
all wool fabrics.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1905-06-08
To the Voters of Audubon County,

unsafe, unsightly, and wholly unsuited
for our needs, having been planned
for stOre-rOOm and an opera house,
with the thought of its being used as a
court house, only for a limited time.
The expectation being before the expi-
ration of the limited time, that the
county would build a court house in
the square, which was dedicated to the
County for for Court house purposes,
and is now owned by Audubon county
SECOND: the vualtS contain
ing our records are not fire proof, and
in the event of the obstruction of the
building, the loss to every property
owner in the county would be irrepair-
able.
THIRD:-That while Audubon cOun-
ty is one of the richest and most pro-
ductive counties in the state, the pre-
sent court house would be disgrace
to a grass-hOOper region in Kansas.
AS it is generally understood through
out the west, of the proposed improve
ment, it will be to our lasting shame
if the proposition is lost and argues
little for our prosperity or our citizen
ship.
FOURTH the heaviest taXpay-
ers of the county who know the facts
are strongly for the proposition, real
izing that the additional tax necessary
for new building is not much great

and electric light fixtures, the sum of

NEIGHBORS:-On Tuesday, June IL
a question of serious Importance. et-
fecting every citizen of Audubon
county, will be submitted to you, to-
wit. SHALL WE BUILD A NEW
COURT HOUSE?.
And on your verdict depends the flu
ture safety or possible obstruction OF
our valuable records, and the respOn-
sibility of the wiSeSt use OF our money,
in protecting county property OF ten
times more valuable than the cost OF
new court house.
If after due consideration it is &C
cording to your best judgement, that
it is good ecOnmy to eXpend any part
of $4,000 90 for two new vaults this
year, to place in building which will
still remain inefficiently protected
from fire, and inadequate to our needs,
YOU must do so with the understand
ing, that each year or two thereafter
necessitates a similar outlay to keep
in repair the old shell we now call the
court house.
The present outlay securing the rec
Ords of only two of the six county
offices. AS taxpayer and an ecOnO-
mist, feel sure that this proposition
should carry by a generous majority,
and beg to submit the following rea-
sons therefore for your consideration.
FIRST:-That the present building IS
