Obituary.

We gave brief notice last week OF
the sudden death of Peter Hobart who
had been good citizen of the town
for many years. The early part oil
his life was passed elsewhere, but for
twenty five years he had been In Aud
ubon, except short time in the west.
He was born January 8, 1910. Nov.
ember %, 1865 he was married To
Maria Baker at Hector, New York.
About thirteen years ago while in
the west she died and was buried al
Ogden, Utah. Since that time Mr..
Hobart lived alone and spent most OF
the time here in town. II. b. Hobart,
a cousin living at Defiance, was the
only relative at the funeral which took
place Thursday afternoon from the M
l.. church. w. l.. Humphrey an old
friend from Marshalltown was also
here for that purpose. While Mr..
Hobart had no children, he leaves a
brother and several sisters at the
old home Ia New York
The funeral services were conducted
by his pastor Rev. A. r. Grant who
made most touching address from
the words II have fought good
fight, have finished my course, /
have kept the faith Mr.. Hobart
was member of the church and lived
a consistent christian life, having the
respect and confidence OF the good
people of the community. His body
was laid to rest in Maple Grove ceme-
terry but his spirit has gone to receive
the reward OF well-spent life.

POSITIONS OF THE PARTIES.

Now that the political campaign is
| about TO open throughout the country
the difficulties before the opposition
are beginning to dawn upon its lead
ers. 1t is significant that up to this
late hour the democrat managers have
not been able to agree on the line of
attack, and not one of them has yet
been able to specify any issue that i'm
presses the public as dominant on
which appeal can be confidently made
as an opposition party policy.
Against this extraordinary negative
weakness and vacillation, the repub-
lican' position has just been sharply
and conclusively stated, after con-
ference between the party leaders and
the president himself, being no less
than bold, straightforward challenge
to the interest and deliberate judgment
of the country on the work of con-
gress and the administration the last
two years as the positive proof of
what may be excepted the next two
years. There is no lodging, no doubt
no fear. 1t is impossible to conceive
stronger contrast than that which to
day exists between the two parties as
they front the electorate for another
verdict at the polls,
The record on which the republicans
stand consists of great results actually
achieved and not merely promises, in
Guiding the successful enactment into
law under President Roosevelt's lead
ership of the historic measure forcon-
troll of railroad rates and services,
meat inspection, pure food, denatur-
lied alcohol, Panama canal and other
important acts of progressive policy
on vital questions, as we'll as the I'M
precedented impetus given to enforce
ment of law upon all the rich and the
poor, the strong and the weak alike.
The opposition is in no position to
assail the record, for during the whole
session of congress it dared not join
issue against any one of the salient
measures, but was compelled actually
or inferentially to approve most OF
them.
The truth is that, havingno positive
practical program of its own by which
to stand or fall, the hope of the oppo-
Sition was that the republican party's
effort to put such program through
successfully would collapse, that it
would break down under factional
quarrel and thus give the democracy
chance in this contest, not through
it's own merit, but through republican
failure. But the republican record
nevertheless stands plainly written and
the country is now invited to vote with
the record before its eyes. This tow
ering fact so embarrasses the oppo-
sition at the threshold of the campaign
that it is unable to decide which way
to face.-Omaha Bee.

When Joe II Ross returned from d
trip TO Oklahoma some three weeks
ago we gave little report of what he
saw down there in which the reporter
made him say that Murders are as
common and no more exciting than
marriages, arrest and punishment
for the former being about as
unlikely as Imprisonment for the
latter. F." According To reports
from there, il Mr.. Ross ever goes
down there again he will have 10 go
under an assumed name or carry a
battery. We have had two articles
from former lowans who seem to be
hot under the collar, and now comes

THE STEAMBOAT POLICY,

Whate 7er may be done by the State
Convention in Iowa on the tariff and
other political matters, the republic an
party of the nation will stand pat on
its record. Instead of depending up
on promises as to what it will do it
will refer to what has been done, es-
pecially in the last session. Along
this line the New York Commercial
speaks as follows:
That it is fairly good politics just
now for the republican party to stand
on its record as it's best and most
available campaign asset can hardly
be questioned. Prosperity is in the
saddle, labor everywhere employed,
wages high, crops abundant, money
easy, business booming, and not a
cloud on the horizon. The Dingley
tariff has been in operation nearly
nine years, and whether it has had
much or little or nothing to do with
the country's very general prosperity
isn't bothering the people very much
and especially not bothering the vot-
ers. Things we're vastly different in
the congressional campaign of 1890.
The Mckinley tariff took effect in
July of that year; the country was not
bowling along as prosperously as
now; the new law had been used by its
opponents to arouse every general
fear of higher cost of living, higher
taxes, lower wages and period of
depression, and in November, only
four months after the law became
operative-by no means long enough
to test 1.-THE voters returned less than
ninety republicans to the Fifty-second
congress out of q total of 322 members
"a singing but none the less merited
rebuke to the party that was response
BILE for the Mckinley tariff. The po-
litical revolution of 1904 crushing
defeat for protection-was brought
about by three misguided classes of
voters, men who imagined themselves
deeply wronged because tinware was
to be higher; philanthropists who pit
led the sewing women condemned to
poverty by an advance in the price of
pearl buttons. and young men about
town who deeply resented an addition
al tax on cigars. They all learned
their error later.
TODAY in 1000 sixtean WEARS after
ward, with high tariff law long
tested and in general found not want
ing, but still with some of its sched-
ules urgently demanding reduction,
its enemies have not the popular fear
and prejudice to work upon that were
as clay in their hands in 1890. The
'standpatters" can we'll afford to call
for showdown.

Matrimonial Mishaps.

Atlantic had brilliant wedding a
week ago when Jesse H. Chambers OF
Lake View and Miss Myrtle McWaid
daughter of the president OF the First
National Bank were united for better
or worse. The wedding was smooth
and happy but the way that led to il
was somewhat rockey and disturbing.
Two weeks before while in Shenan-
doah the groom was taken for another
man and severely pounded. Another
incident was the settlement by the
BRIDES father of threatened suit for
breach of promise brought againstthe
bride by young man named Frank
Libby, of Des Moines. 1t Is stated
that he released his claims on the
bride for $500 and permitted the wedd.
ing to take place without court pro
ceedings.
