A CHANGE OF CLIMATE

a great change OF climate has como
over the great west, II not over the en-
tire country. Not many years ago
where we are now enjoying the mild
and sunny days of midwinter the prai-
ries were covered with several feet OF
snow and the blizzard ragged with a
merciless fury that no one could face
with safety. When we first talked Of
coming TO Iowa, thirty years ago, Il
friend said he had been out here on
business and that he was snowbound
on the train near Des Moines and came
near starving and freezing To death.
Once In u while such things happen yet,
but the change for the better has been
very pronounced In the last dozen
years. In referring TO this matter an
exchange speaks as follows:
Men make their own climates or ut
least amelioratethem. The groves and
the fences and the storm defying fur
mace heated houses Of Iowa have much
to do with the effects II not the causes
OF climate. Iowa is better home as
state than as territory. The climate
has changed otherwise. We have had
changes In the moral, political and
bus mess temperatures. Men are grow.
Ing lbetter and natures are growing
warmer. The schools and colleges Of
Iowa have tempered common thought
and impulses as the groves and big
red barns have broken the winds and
destroyed the prairies. We are grow
ing warmer toward each other and
mankind In the mass. The climate Is
changing. From Maine TO California
IL is changing, The rights OF the mass
es, the condition OF the poor, the edu-
cation OF the ignorant are being look
ed after more carefully and being
granted more readily than ever before
Chinook winds strikes Rockefeller
and he parts with thirty millions
TO benefit others. Carnegie strings "a
line of poor mems universities across
the continent. Leaders rise up to de-
mand an honest distribution OF pro-
duction and square deal for all the
people. Men are kinder, more mutu-
ally helpful. Education is dissent
mated. Publicity is passion. Knowl-
edge is common. The climate Is
changing.

SENATOR sMooT SUSTAINED.

After consideration of two or three
years and an expenditure of $4,000,
the Senate has refused to expel Senat-
or Smoot of Utah, which was urged
because of his connection with Il
church having polygamy as one of its
customs if not one of its requirements.
Senators Allison and Dolliver were
both in favor of the retention of Mr..
Smoot as a Senator of the United
States Congress. In an address be-
fore the senate Senator Dolliver said
that from the evidence which he had
studied with much care, and from
Senators Shoots own statement which
he believed to be the truth, he was
compelled to believe that he was not
in sympathy with polygamy. fie said
that for many years Senator Smoot
had used his influence with the young
republicans of Utah in favor of u
better standard in the social and NOR
al life of the people. BY personal
visit and investigation he believes
polygamy dead in both the state and
the church. Iowa's junior senator
spoke more particularly and definitely
as follows:
81 have, i think, about as deep
prejudices against the Mormon church
as any one in the United States. / do
not like it's history, nor the record
which it has made in the last fifty
years, either in the middle west or in
the mountains of Utah. need not
add that hate. with perfect malice,
the barbarism of polygamy. regard
the family as the unit not only of the
state, but of scaiety itself, and il
felt that in casting the vote which ! am
about to cast | was giving aid or COM
fort to that repulsive and complex
conspiracy against our civilization, /
would under no circumstances cast
such vote.
81 entered upon this discussion
under a general impression that Sena-
tor Smoot was guilty of that crime.
] find from the evidence that the crime
is not only one of which he is innocent,
but OF which nobody seriously accuses
him. | think / have every reverence
which men ought to have for the opin-
ions and for the wishes of the Chris
tian women of the United States, and
the only burden that has been placed
upon me in the vote which am about
to cast arises from the fact that am
not able TO respond, as so many OF
them have desired, in my own state
and in other states, to the petitions
for Senator Shoots expulsion. |
honor them for the deep interest they
have taken in this subject. recog-
nize their right which 1 have heard
disputed here, to petition the senate
upon that subject. They are the
guardians of the American homes and
for that reason they are the safeguards
of our civilization. But | do not be-
lieve that anyone Of them in my own
state or elsewhere would desire me to
cast vote here which could not
justify as right in the forum of my
own conscience

Food on your sows in time will keep
them in fine condition for pig season.

A FAREWELL Sc RMON
Doctor Conybeare Preached His Last
Sermon Sunday Night to Large
Audience.

The services at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday were OF special
| interest because IL was the closing
Sunday of Doctor Conybeare's pas
torate which has extended over peri
cd of nearly three years. Sunday was
| the third anniversary of his first SER
mon in Audubon but he did not begin
the regular work until May |, 1904
In the morning Sunday the Mems
Bible Club attended the services in n
body. A short address was made by
the pastor, Mr.. Il. +. Green was Or
dained as an elder, seven new MEM
bers were admitted and the Sacrament
of the Lords Supper was administered
In the evening Doctor Conybeare
was honored by the presence OF many
representatives from other churches
to whom he expressed his thanks for
their attendance. For his text ne Sc
lected "And they shall grow as the
palm tree,n stating that for his first
sermon he had chosen the latter part
of the same verse which says: " They
shall flourish like the Cedars ofLeba-
non." The sermon was q plain and
practical discourse in which he urged
| the members OF all churches to be
palm-tree christians, which grow and
are ever green even in the desert place
and with the most unfavorable sur
roundings. OF his residence in Audi
bon and his association with the peo-
pie he expressed the greatest pleasure
and satisfaction, stating especially
that in all things bearing upon order
and morality he considered the place
above the average, and very much bet
ter than many other places OF its size.

FOR QUICKER RETURNS.

That something needs to be done to
insure quicker returns from the cleo
ton will not be disputed but what
should be done is open to discussion.
In some precincts last fall the returns
were not completed for two days, and
in few, including Audubon not until
late Thursday evening Now comes
Representative Clark of Jefferson
county with his little bill which pro-
vides for two sets of Judges and clerks,
so that while one set are receiving the
ballots the others may be counting
the votes and thus be ready to make
the summary soon after the polls are
closed. III this could be done and the
count kept from the public the propo-
sition would be all right; but in close
contests that would be difficult il not
quite impossible. And for this reason
the bill will receive strong opposition.
There is one thing that can be done
which would not have this objection.
The judges could be authorized to
appoint additional clerks so that the
count could proceed with rapidity.
When the polls are closed the judges
and clerks are tired and should not
be expected to continue all night and
possibly all the next day without hav-
ing rest. Something should be done.

years and knows what he's talk
ing about. Don't have to pay
three or four fellows $l,00 per
acre commission either to tell
you about a country they never
lived in. Don't have to take any
chances on the county either he.
cause it's been settled up for
over % years and you are sure
of crop. Ii you don't believe
it Just ask some of the farmers
that have lived there for 20 years
they will tell you the truth and
won't charge you anything for it
either; and say, while you are
talking about the country just
ask them what they want for
their farms, and see how bad they
waut to sell out; got good or
chards up there, nice groves, too
plenty of good spring water, and
raise just rs good corn up there
as they do here, raise clover and
timothy up there too.
Why shouldn't it be a good
country, it's just across the line
from Iowa. And nearly every
man you meet up there has lived
in Iowa and none of them want
to come back because they say
they can make more money up
there. Another thing it only
costs us $l0.46 from Manning to
go up and back, and if it aint
just what he says it is he will
pay our expenses whether we buy
or not: and that's a better tune
than those other fellows sing be
cause he can show the goods and
that is pretty good proof that the
country is all right or they
couldn't show the crops they
raise and 80 many nice homes
through the country and good
school houses and large churches
rural telephone lines through the
country and that Amt all he can
save us 2 or three hundred dol
lars by buying of hin and by
