PERKINS FOR GOVERNOR.

The Republicans of Sioux City held
meeting last week and passed res
olutions requesting Hon. George ID.
Perkins to be candidate for govern
or, promising their hearty and en-
thusiastic support. The addresses
given were fine tribute to Mr.. Per-
kins and shows the high regard in which
he is held by the community in which
he has lived and labored for more
than thirty years, as editor OF the
Sioux City Journal which is the equal
of any newspaper in the state. Mr..
Perkins is clean, capable, and con-
scientious. AS one of the speakers
said, he has been year in and year
out a most steadfast defender in the state
of republican principles. In response
to the resolutions Mr.. Perkins says
he will be a candidate, and desires
his candidacy to be upon the initia-
tive of his home people, and trusts
that their appeal for support may be
to the republican party of the whole
state. He further says: 81 have great
confidence in the average sense and
service of the republican party, and |
am fortified in this confidence by what
the party has been enabled to do in
the promotion of good government,
for the enlargement and protection of
human rights, and for the advance
ment of the standard of government
throughout the world. believe our
people are as trustworthy and as
patriotic, and as willing to cope with
difficulties as they arise, as they have
been in any period of our history.
We have overcome much; we have
! much to overcome. And again
1.-THE governor of this state, however
he may be chosen and whatever his
party relationship may be, is respon-
sible to the whole state, and by faith
fully meeting that responsibility he
can best approve the friendship and
] Partially of his home people. In the
discharge of his public duties an Off
cial should guard himself as best he
is able against being led astray by
partisan rancor, against subserviency
to special and selfish interests,
against temptation to prosecute OPP
ponents, and against the more or less
human weakness, working itself out
in various ways, of personal politics,
resulting in form of rewards and
punishments whereby the law and the
public welfare are subordinated to
considerations that are narrow and
of evil consequence and example. |

The itobson Lecture.

Captain II Il. Hobson was greeted
by q large and attractive audience
at the Presbyterian church last Mon
day evening. After brief introduc.
ton by III. j. Mantz, Esq, he deliver
ed his lecture upon the American
Navy but he didn't coniine himself to
that; and In not doing SO we think he
made mistake, because his lecture
was not so instructive nor entertain
ing as the one we heard before when
he talked Navy from beginning TO end,
telling not only OF its necessity and
possibilities but OF its great victories
In fighting the battles OF our country.
Like most other orators and lecturers
he seemed to think il necessary To
spend part of the time In lambast-
ing the great corporations about which
we hear and read every day. The
Captain is a fine looking man with
the carriage and conduct of gentle
man OF refinement and culture The
burden of his lecture is that owing TO
It's position, isolation and strength,
America should be and already Is the
great peacemaker of the world. To
maintain our position and increase
our influence IL will be absolutely
utCtSSdIy w chldiSC out navy So biihb
request from our government will
be equivalent to demand upon the
other governments to keep the peace,
and if they do not comply we must be
able To compel such compliance by
force. Mr.. Hobson clearly showed by
reference to history that this country
was settled by peaceloving people,
and that our wars were fought for the
same purpose. There is one thing
sure that we may cry peace, peace,
but there never has been any peace
unless some one has either fought for
il or showed his ability to do so. And
it still remains true that ii IS only
when a nation has the ability To COM
pei that il is prepared to talk peace
with success. Ten years ago our
government would have had little or
no influence in negotiating peace be-
tween Russia and japan; but the
events that have happened since then
by which we have risen to be one OF
the Great Powers OF the world caused
those countries TO stop and listen and
act when our president called halt
in one of the most destructive wars Of
modern times. Az the close of his
lecture he submitted some resolutions
in favor OF "organiZing the peace
forces in America and in the world,
To remove the causes OF war between
civilized nations, and advance the
cause OF universal peace and Justice. "

OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNT
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
KING CHRISTIAN DEAD.

The Danish readers of this paper
will be interested in hearing of the
death of King Christian the noted
king of Denmark, who has been the
ruling monarch of that country for so
many years. He ate luncheon Mon
day afternoon as usual, but took sick
before he left the table, retired at 2:30
and died an hour later. His sons
and daughters were preparing TO go
to Copenhagen soon to celebrate his
88th birthday, which would have come
in short time. King Christian was
the dean of the crowned heads of all
Europe, and related to nearly all of
them either by blood or marriage.
Two of his daughters are the Empress
Dowager of Russia, and Queen Alex
andra of Great Britain. King George
of Greece is son, and King Charles
of Norway is grandson. Prince
Frederick, the eldest son, who now
becomes the ruler, is 81 years of age,
and will be called Frederick the VIII.

SECRETARY OF STATE.

Among the candidates for secretary
of state is Senator Hayward of Daven-
port who has represented that dis
trict for several terms with ability
and efficiency. Referring to his
candidacy the Davenport Times gives
him the following complimentary
notice:
''Thas he is eminently we'll qualified
for the position for which he has
been suggested as candidate, is I'M
disputed. He is man OF keen bust
ness ability. He is also q man OF
experience in state affairs. He has
served as senator in the twenty seven
tn, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and
thirtieth general assemblies. He has
been recognized as one OF the most
able men in the senate, having been
appointed to the craftsmanship OF the
committee on ways and means, the
first committee of the senate. SEN
ator Hayward has always been will
ing to do all that he could for the
Republican party and has never
shirked any of the arduous work of
campaigns. He is convincing speak
err and has the happy faculty OF max
ing friends wherever he goes. He has
always been public spirited, as is
shown by his long service as MEM
Der of the Davenport school board,
of which he is the president, a posi-
ton involving great deal of labor
and no other reward than the con-
sciousness of public service we'll
DONE"

DoLLlvER-HEPBuRN BILL.

The most important legislation be-
fore the National Congress is the
Dolliver-Hepburn bin for the regu.
lation Of railway rates. The bill in
the senate, introduced by Senator
Dolliver and the one reported to
the house this week by unanimous
vote of the committee, and known as
the Hepburn bill, are practically the
same and understood to have the
endorsement of the administration.
Less than year ago, some people
who ought to have known better were
denouncing both of these men, espec-
tally the latter, for not doing any
thing, as they alleged, toward the
regulation of rates. When as a
matter of fact they were busy making
preparation to propose and secure
such legislation as would be effective
in producing the necessary reforms.
Now they are having the distinguish
ed honor of being the leaders in the
fight for what the President desires.
Henry Wallace, editor of Wallaces'
Farmer commends the Dolliver bill
as follows:
ut authorizes the commission to
fix maximum rate on each particu-
lar case complained of, when a maxi
mum rate is necessary in order To do
justice. 1t permits appeal TO the
court not on the question OF justice
or reasonableness, but on the ques-
ton of lawfulness or constitutionality
only. This is one of the vital points,
without which no bill will be much OF
an Improvement on the present inter-
state commerce law. We suspect that
on this question as to whether matters
OF fact should be subject to appeal,
or merely matters of unlawfulness or
unconstitutionality, will hinge the
main fight before congress. Because
this bill has been introduced by Sen.
ator Dolliver, apparently with the
administration behind 1t, we have no
reason to suppose that any speedy
action will be taken. The matter
will be fought out to a finish prob
ably some time next May or June y
The Hepburn bill In the house is now
nnder debate and will probably pass
within two weeks.

AUDUBON, Ia, Jan. 10.-Poor old
Tom! 1t was shame to sell such
remarkable bird, but he is safe in the
state of cold storage now.
Tom knew no fear of human beings.
Children, he loved, and wheh little
fodder plucked up the courage to
walk up and lay a chubby hand upon
his glistening coat, he would look
down serenely with his small brown
eyes, as if to say: 81 would not harm
you for the world, my little friend,
and If you will climb on my back |
will give you o ride" Yes, Tom
would have done it, for many time
his owners little grandchild rode up
on his back, and Tom proudly carried
his burden with the greatest of ease
and carefulness.

grandmother, Turkey Tom unfailing-

Hobson at the High School

The Audubon High School was
highly favored Tuesday morning by
an address of twenty minutes by Cap
tain Hobson before taking the train
for the north on his way to Indepen-
dence where he lectured Wednesday
night. His talk was very pleasing
and e)evating in tone and sentiment.
The topic was the greatness of Our
country and the magnificence of our
heritage. In ancient times "To be a
Roman was greater than TO be king,
but to be an American, even of the
most humble station, Is greater and
better than either. After travelling
the wide world over and studying the
conditions of the people, he would
rather be humble citizen OF America
than the crown prince Of any other
nation. lie urged the young people
to make the best possible OF them
selves and then do the best possible
for the community, the state and the
nation; that they should make an
effort to be leaders and influential
citizens of the town and county.
While only three and one half per
cent of the children enter the high
school, seventy-seven per cent OF the
leaders in society, in business and the
professions come from this three and
a half per cent. We had the pleasure
of hearing this address, which we are
confident left fine and lasting i'm
preston for good upon the students.
