The people are coming to a
point where they will refuse to
tolerate in high office men of
low ideals and questionable prin-
eiples. Senator Brackets al
legation that Depew owes his
election to his business connec-
lions and his ability to control
campaign funds is a powerful
argument for taking the pre-
of electing federal SEN
ators away from state legisla-
lures and vesting it in the peo-
pie. AS a typical product Of
the present system Depew
stands as a reminder that the
campaign in favor Of popular
elections must be waged with
out intermission.

Obituary

Amengo l.. Ames died at his
home in this city of heart
failure this morning at nine
o'clock.
The deceased was born in
Covington, Genesee county,
New York, June II, 1919, and
was aged sc years, z
months and Is days. He grew
to manhood in his New York
home, and was married to Miss
Laafy Chase, of Little Valley,
N. Y, Feb. 16, 1915. Two
children were born to them,
Mrs. G. L. Bailey of this city
and Mrs. P. w. Brown, of Mar
quette, Michigan. He with his
family came to Iowa in 1870,
settling in the Valley, where
they have resided ever since.
He was a contractor and build
er and amassed considerable
property.
Mr.. Ames lived a quiet life,
securing the esteem of his
neighbors and the community
and his sudden death has cast
a shadow over our city. He
leaves a wife and his two
daughters. The funeral SER
vices will be announced as soon
as his daughter from Michigan
arrives.
G. NJ. Gilmore, of Raglan
township, was a pleasant caller
tody. He said he was happy
over the beautiful weather.
Miss Eta Puddy is at home
home from Fremont, Nebraska,
where she has been attending
the Normal for the past ten
weeks.
! do not believe that pupils
attending the public schools
should engage in any social
function during any evening of
the week prec sding a school
day. Outdoor games, skating
and such may receive reason
able encouragement, but indoor
exercises, especially where
there is no supervision, are not
to be encouraged. The support
of the parents in this and the
prohibition by them of permits
sion to attend any party or
social function on any evening
preceding a school day will be
for the betterment of the school
work. We are in danger of
the GENERALIZATION of the
social nature of the child. No
pupil in the high school can do
the required work of the school
without some preparation out
of school hours. The co-opera-
ton of parents is earnestly
solicited in this matter.

We understand that C. H.
Willis and family will soon

They have a host of friends

Talk about climate. Why
fasteners don't know what
nate is. 1t is true that Sol
California has had a cold sna
colder than it has been TO.
some time, but it has not been
cold enough to harm the dain-
lies of plants and vegetables.
We hear of icicles and ice but
these are to be found only in
exposed places and as a general
rule no damage has been done
by the frost or cold.
AS a substantial proof of the
mildness of this balmy climate
the editor Toasted Wednesday
upon corn, fine JUICY green corn,
just cut from the stock, with
kernels as large and full of meat
as the finest grown in the warm
summer time in old Missouri.
This corn was raised on the
little place of j. M. Egbert in
Ventura, in his open garden no
pains taken to protect it from
cold and Mr.. Egbert has more
just like it. Mr.. Egbert is a
great gardner and takes espe-
cial pains to raise the finest
kind of garden truck. He told
us a little story today of his
part in bringing new people to
Ventura. John Bradley a pio-
neer editor of Ventura ate a
green corn dinner at Mr.. Eg-
berts on New Years day many
years ago and thereafter prin-
ted a story in the old Signal
about the wonder of the thing.
That article brought to Ventura
the Sheridens and Newbys from
old Missouri.
Big green corn at New Years.
Think of it you tenderfeet.'
California no doubt, has a very
fine climate, but is lacking in
many other respects. Iowa may
not be able to serve green corn
for dinner on New Years day,
but just think of our hog and
hominy, of our cattle on a thus
and hills, our million of bushels
golden corn, of butter, hay and
hogs, and grain, and then say
if you will, that you wish to ex-
change all this mighty produc-
ton of beautiful Iowa for a lit
tie California sun shine and a
few nubbins of green corn in
January. Net much Mary Ann.
Sunday last was one of the
most beautiful January days

May morning and clear as an

The Harrison County Agri-
cultural association directors
will meet soon to arrange mat
tiers for their fair for next fall.
Heretofore it has been their
custom to award the printing
of the premium list to the
office that would bid the high
est for the job, the printer to
solicit the ads going into the
list and take the money re-
ceived for the ads as payment
for his work. 1t has always
seemed to us that a better bust
ness way would be for the
association to hire the list
printed at a stipulated price
per page, solicit the ads them
and keep the profits
therefrom. A first class
printing office has little time at
it's disposal to take a job on the
old terms and we feel sure that
the society Will get much better
all around and bet
ter please their patrons by
the latter Plan. They
would also probably re alize a
profit from the premium list by
so doing. Woodbine Chronicle.

ered Il pussy Llme with the u.
party. The time has arrive
for the parting of the ways
endangering the stability and
harmony of t G party organi-
cation. j. w. Blythe, of the
Burlington, the assumed leader
of the republican party in Iowa,
the disturbing element, is now
to learn, pehaps, for the first
time, that he does not carry the
republican party in his vest
pocket.
Another thing seems to be of
more than ordinary importance,
and that is the selection Of the
candidate for Governor. Mr..
A. B. Funk, of the Spirit Lake
Beacon, one of the most able
and popular leaders in the big
eleventh congressional district
of Iowa, has concluded that du-
ty, not only to party, but to
country as we'll, demand of him
a departure from Hon. Geo. d.
Perkins, the candidate for Gov.
of the State of Iowa. That Mr..
Perkins is an able and educated
gentleman is not to be gainsay-
ed, but his association with the
stand paters" just at this time
has determined opposition to
his nomination. The candidate
must be favorable to certain
legislative measures which is
supposed to be for the best in
terest of the people, and is re-
garded as the measures favored
by President Roosevelt and al
so by Gov. Cummins, of Iowa,
and approved by a majority of
the people of Iowa, which will
make it very hard Shedding for
any man this State to oppose
both Roosevelt and Gov. Cum
minis.
1t is more than probable that
the old party line in Iowa may
be considerably changed at the
next election. The time has ar
rived for the people, either to
cut loose from the Blythe ma
chine, OF to bow the neck to the
Blythe yoke and fall into line.
The railroads have largely ben
Gifted the people of the State,
but the people have always been
very liberal to them, and have
rights that must not be ignored
by the railroads, and no man
living can hope to long retain
the confidence of the public who
take sides against them for any
rich monopoly, no difference
how much sucn monopoly may
have been beneficial to them.
Lincoln's motto is the correct
one: "A government of the peo-
pile, by the people and for the
people," is the true American
doctrine, and he or they who
do not subscribe to that propo-
sition is not worthy to be the
Governor of the great State of
Iowa, now or hereafter.
1t is not our fight. We have
our own personal views on all
these questions that seem to be
dlstracting the councils of the
republican party Of this State,
and can, therefore, look upon
this contest with perfect equi-
nimity, and like the man who

very carefully and keeping sharp
lookout for any light ahead.
By the time the boat was fairly out
side the Heads and ON the Pacific the
wind had decreased so much that he
was able to bring to, bail out, and take
a drink of water. Then he considered
what was the best course to be pur-
sued
Three miles north Of North Head
there was, he knew, a little cove called
Blue Fish bay, which was well shell
tered from any winds, except northerly
and easterly, and there he could safely
anchor till daylight. The moon, he
was aware, would rise about H. and,
looking at his watch, he saw that ii
was within ten minutes of that time.
After re-stowing the boat, he set the
mainsal again and then stood along
as close as he dared to the steep-to
cliffs of the northern shore, for he was
determined not to be carried too far
on the land if he could possibly avoid
1t. AT last the moon rose and revealed
the high walls of rock close to on the
port hand, with the heavy breakers
numbering at their base, and he edged
away little, fearful of being carried
in too close. To be caught by one of
those mighty rollers, or by it's back
wash, and capsized or swamped meant
one Of two deaths-being dashed to
pieces against the grim cliffs, or by
the jaws Of the great gray nurse"
sharks that cruised to and fro, day
and night, just outside the break of
the surf.
Suddenly he heard, between the
thunderings of the surf. a hoarse.
humming sound, and, looking astern,
he saw the lights Of steamer, not a
quarter Of a mile away. She had
stopped, and under the now bright
moonlight Tom saw that she was blow
ing off steam at a furious rate. No
lights were visible, but from her stern
was arising some thin yellowish
smoke.
"She must be on fire" he thought,
and on the impulse of the moment he
headed towards her, and was soon
alongside.
What do you want?" cried a gruff
voice from the bridge.
Nothing; only came to see what was
the matter" And then he asked If the
ship was on fire.
"She was" was the reply After a
little pause the speaker leaned over the
bridge and scanned Tom. What are
you doing out here in that cOckleshell,
youngster?
Tom hurriedly told him what had oc-
CURED.
Come on board" and then a line
was thrown to him, and Tom, jumping
upon the sponsor on the port side,
clambered over the bulWarks on deck.
Come up here, youngster," said the
voice from the bridge, and Tom
obeyed and found himself face to face
with an enormously tall and fat man,
