Secretary Of Democratic Campaign

From District 1o3-WiII Carry

Hon. G. u. Carter, secretary OF the
Democratic campaign committee, at
present with the committee at OKLA

the first nominee of the Democr tic
party Of this district for congress.
was a visitor 10 Ardmore yesterday nl-
tornoon and this morning. Mr.. Carte,
came down yesterday to attend a meet
ing of the city council, of which he Is
member. held last night. He left to-
day noon for Oklahoma City. Before
leaving MIR. Carter was seen by an
Ardmoreite reporter and asked the
condition Of affairs as seen from his
position with the committee. Mr. Car
ter replied: Since the district
ing and canvassing board has conced.
cd to the contention of the Democratic
campaign committee and ruled that a
thirty days precinct residence is nee
essary to qualify a voter, think there
is not a shadow of doubt about the
results.
we felt all along that we would
overcome the advantage that the Re
publicans had secured by unfair gerry
Wandering of the districts but we
were fearful of the results of coloniZ.
ing, unless the law would be enforced
relative TO the thirty days residence.
In my opinion the new state will give
Democratic majority of from twenty
to thirty thousand, easily. This will
mean the Democrats will have a goCr!
working majority in the constitutional
convention. and that we will have a
constitution fully protecting the rights
OF all the people. All credit and honor
Is due the Democratic candidate IN
this district He has given an example
Of patriotism such as we rarely see
by resigning a lucrative position with
a great railroad company in order tC
take up the battles of the people. And
I predict that his majority in this dis
trict will not represent the Democratic
strength alone, but it will be repre-
sentative of all good patriotic and fair
minded citizens who worship at the
shrine of honesty, and who want tC
show their admiration for an unsclfish
patriotic man.

Cabbages Will Suit Better.

The manager of "The Convict's Daugh-
ter, which comes to Van Werdens
opera house Saturday evening makes
special request that over appreciative
persons in the audience refrain from
casting eggs in the direction of the
performers. If it comes to the worst
they will stand for cabbages but draw
the line at the hen fruit. Reports from
towns where the company have produc-
ed the play are to the effect that the
performance is highly meritorious. While
the company is partly composed Of
Humeston amateurs part of the cast are
professional actors, and many singing
and dancing specialties are rendered
during the performance in pleasing
manner. A uniformed band accompanies
the show and will be heard on the
streets Saturday afternoon and evening.

VETERANS INTERESTED
Appeal of the Shaw Case to Federal
Supreme Court is Attracting
Great National Interest.

The case of c. H. Shaw against the
city council of Marshalltown is again
attracting wide interest in the state
and this interest will reach to several
other states, where soldiers preference
laws have been placed on the statute
books, Immediately the case reaches
the supreme court of the United States.
Commenting on the appeal to be taken
by the city council, the Register and
Leader says:
No application has yet been made to
the clerk of the supreme court for q
writ of error in appeal to the United
States supreme court of the soldiers
preference case recently decided by
the Iowa court in favor of the old
soldiers.
1t is understood, however, that the
attorneys for the city of Marshalltown
will ask for the writ very soon, as an
appeal has been decided upon. So far
as known, the federal supreme court
volved in these statutes which have
been sustained uniformly by the state
courts. New York, Kansas, Iowa and
Iowa appeal will afford test for all
of them.
Since the Iowa court decided that
the law was constitutional, several
cases have been tried out in the courts
of the state effecting the practical
determination of the questions of rel
ative fitness of candidates for appoint
ment. At Davenport, recently, the
case was tried to jury, which render
ed decision by special findings of fact.
Colonel Clark, now commander of
the department of Iowa, G. A. r., and
who will be a candidate for commander
in chief next year, was the leading
counsel for the veterans in the sue
cessful pleading of the Iowa case. OF
course, he will follow it to the supreme
court. It's presentation there will at
tract the attention of all the soldiers
OF the nation and may furnish an add
ed reason why the Iowa soldier should
be elected commander in chief,

Georae w. Rains.

At his home in Woodland on Saturday,
Oct. 6, 1906, occurred the death of one
of the pioneers of Decatur county at the
advanced age Of 81 years, months and
IA days.
The deceased was born in Highland
county, Ohio, Feb. %, 1880. When he
was only a lad he came with his parents
to Iowa, and settled in Woodland town
ship, where he resided continuously un-
til his death. He was united in mar
riage to Miss Frederick Lentz, Oct. 10,
1861, and to their union were born seven
children, two of whom have preceded
him to the world above. He is survived
by the widow and five children.
When he was young man he united
with Christian Union church, and twen-
ty years ago he affiliated with the Ad-
ventist Christian church at Woodland,
of which he remained faithful and
consistent member until his death. He
was a kind and loving husband and an
affectienate father, good neighbor and
an exemplary citizen whose death is
mourned by the entire community.
The funeral was held at the Adventist
Christian church at Woodland on Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, the funeral
being conducted by Rev. r. A. Bixler
of Corning, interment being in the Lentq
cemetery. A large coneourse of neigh
bors followed his remains to their final
resting place, thus paying tribute to
their high esteem for the deceased.

LARGEST CORNFIELD IN WORLD.
Adams Ranch at Odebolt Has 49,
600 Acres In the Iowa Staple.

Odebolt, Ia, Oct. 3.-When it is con-
sidered that there are such corn fields
in Iowa as Adams 15,000-acre ranch at
this place, producing $4,000 bushels
every season, and employing regularly
106 men, it is little wonder that the
state of Iowa has 4OO,000,OOO bushel
corn crop for 1906. Before long 200
men will start on the $4,000 acres Of
corn. Then the stalks will be shredded
for the fat cattle before spring.
This corn field is the largest in the
world The full $4,000 acres was plant
ed with tested seed and is expected to
yield an average of more than thirty
five bushels to the acre. This is con-
sidered a small average for Iowa corn
this season.
Thirty-seven double stalk cutters
will be used to bind the corn in the
field this fall. Mules are employed al
most everywhere to do the heavy draft
work on the farm, and there are over
200 of these animals kept there con-
stantly.
The affairs at the farm are conducted
with as much system as in any large
business Office in this city. There is
main Office and headquarters where
une manager OF Une farm mas his desk.
1t is here that Mr.. Adams himself
passes large part of his time in sum
mer. The farm is divided into sections,
and each part is under the direction of
a sub-foreman and worked by his force
of men.
All the houses of the employees are
located in one place near the center
OF the farm, making small town. A
school house is also erected here for
the children of the workers. The farm
and its methods are revelation to the
visitor. Adams is an enthusiast for
good roads and all through the place
he has built handsome driveways.

PENSION LIST IS LESS
Annual Report of Pension Commits
sioner Shows a Loss of II, ,740
During the Past Year.

The net decrease in the pension roll
of the United States for the fiscal year
ending June 80 last amounted to 1910
the largest decrease ever known in the
history of the country. This fact is
brought out in the annual report OF
Commissioner of Pensions Warner, lust
completed.
During the year there were added
33,569 pensioners and ,405 restorations
and renewals, making total addition
of 34,974. The total number of pension
ers on the roll was 1,033,415. The
number of pensioners dropped was
47,444, leaving the number of pensioners
June 30, 1906, 955,971.
Death was the principal cause Of the
decrease last year, the number dropped
on that account being 43,SOO. OF these
29,29S were those of survivors of the
civil war, leaving 6G6,453 of that war
still on the roll. There are four pen.
sioners on account of the revolutionary
war, one widow and the other three
daughters, $50 all widows on account OF
the war with Spain, and lap on ac-
count of the Mexican war. OF the
Mexican war pensions 3,94 are to sur
vivors.
The commissioner calls attention to
the fact that while there has been a
meterial decrease in the number OF
pensioners, the annual value of the roll
is nearly as large as it was last year
This arises from the fact that the
rating of many invalid pensions are con.
stantly increasing, the average increase
last year being S1.22.
More than 5000 pensions are paid tc
persons residing abroad. OF these
1867 are in Canada, 6O2 in Germany
and 495 in Ireland, and the others are
scattered in sixty-four other countries
including the island of st Helena, the
Azores, Siam, Korea etc.
The report shows that in the entire
history of the country the total expen-
diture on account of pensions has been
s3,459,s60,311, of which s3,259, 1876 800
was on account Of the civil war. The
total pensions on account of the Spanish
war are $15,43S,355 to date.

THE TENURE OF OFFICE OF
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

A glance at the Iowa school directory
will show that the county superintend-
ency is being rapidly taken out of
politics. A few counties still insist
that the county superintendency is an
Office to be passed around as reward
for party service. The practice of two
terms, then "down and out" to give
place to new man, is not general
custom in Iowa. Sixteen county super
intendents are now serving their third
term, six are serving their fourth term,
six are serving their fifth term, and one
Iowa superintendent is now completing
his sixth consecutive term,
The people of Iowa are coming to
realize that the county superintendency
should not be placed in the same class
as the other county offices. When an
auditor, clerk or recorder assumes the
duties of his office his most important
duty is to familiarize himself with
the system of keeping the books Of that
Office. While there is much clerical
work to be done in the county superin-
tendent's office, this line of work is the
least important of the superintendents
services. Before the schools can be
successfully directed, the new superin-
tendent must become personally ac-
quainted with the teaching force of the
county. He must have had opportunity
to visit the teachers in their regular
school work, for in this way only can he
Judge of the teachers aptness to teach
and ability to govern. 1t is impossible
for county to change superintendents
without serious loss in the efficiency
of the school work. While the average
county officer can acquant himself with
the work of his office in two or three
months, it takes as many years for the
county superintendent to gain the
knowledge which is necessary for him
to effectively carry on the work of his
office. 1t is highly essential that there
be few changes in the county superin-
tendency of Iowa this year owing to the
fact that the new certification law will
go into operation and that the pro-
visions of this law place such great
stress upon the county superintendent's
personal knowledge of the teachers
ability. Many teachers in Iowa would
be seriously handicapped We're their
work to be judged by a superintendent
not personally familiar with their work.
We trust that the day will soon come
when efficiency and efficiency alone will
condition the county superintendent's
