CALLS TAFT STRADDLER.
Bryan Replies to the Secretary's
Speech Made at Columbus.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27.-W. ].
Bryan's reply to the speech of Secre-
tary Taft at Columbus. o., has been
given out. Secretary Taft is con-
demned as a ''straddler" on nearly all
the important issues, and criticised for
not taking advanced ground in reform.
and Mr.. Bryan complains, Also that
his own position has been misrepre-
senJed by the secretary.
Mr.. Bryan says;
Secretary Taft's speech Will prove
a disappointment to those who expect
ed a clear bugle note in favor of re-
form. There is not a single question
on which he takes a strong, advanced
position.
"On the railroad question, he is in
favor of preventing watered stock, op-
poses the consolidation of competing
lines and the duplication of director
ares. So far so good; but he does not
advocate the ascertaining of the value
of the roads or the reduction of rates.
He even defends the president from
the charge of favoring the reductions
made by the states. The railroads may
object to his rhetorical denunciation Of
abuses, but they will hardly be scared
by his remedies.
ION the trust question, he thunders
ut unlawful trusts, but not only does
not recommend new legislation, but
takes the position that a monopoly
may not be harmful. He seems to lean
toward the idea tht 1t must be con-
victed of some harmful act-and this
throws the burden of proof upon the
government. He recognizes that re
straint is more difficult when one
corporation swallows up a lot of other
corporations-that 1T involves enorm-
Gus labor on the part Of the govern
ment to prosecute such a combination
because the proof of the gist of the
oHense lies underneath an almost linn
itless variety of transactions and yet
he is opposed to the license system
which would enable the government
to absolutely prevent a monopoly. In
other words, he gives the benefit OF the
doubt to the corporation instead of to
the people.
HE thinks the putting one or two
trust magnates in the penitentiary
would have a healthy effect, but he
uses so many qualifying words that
one Is left in doubt as to what he real
~ favors.
after submitting an argument in
support of an inheritance tax and a
graduated income tax. he concludes
by saying that he is not in favor of
adopting either of them now At some
future time he may adopt them If they
are needed.
His Tariff Ideas
He comes out strong in favor of
government injunction, but does not

Of The Iowa State Federation of Wo-

Meeting Last Week.
at OckaIooc1

The people of Audubon were pleas
ed to hear last week that Mrs. John
A. Nash had been chosen as president
of the Iowa State Federation of WO-
mems Clubs for the ensuing year by a
vote of l49 to 1903. This was the more
gratifying because of the strong com
petition for the place by the candidacy
of Miss Harriet t.. Lake of ludepen-
dence, one Of the most capapable and
and popular club women in the state
This recognition is Il high honor not
only to Mrs. Nash but to the women
of the clubs and other people of this
community. The State Federation is
composed of about three hundred del
emates selected from the different clubs
throughout the state and is repreSen-
tative of the culture and refinement of
the women. of Iowa. The STAFF CORE
spOndent of the Register and Leader
says that Mrs. Nash owes her victory
in o. large measure 10 the splendid ad-
dress she made at the last session be-
fore the election. She has served as
a member of the board of directors of
the federation for many years and as
corresponding secretary last year. At
the close of the meeting Mrs. Nash
went to Ottumwa to visit with her
daughter Mrs. Cowles. The other
delegates from Audubon, Mrs. John
Ward and Mrs. w. w. Smith return
ed home last Saturday much elated
over the success of their candidate
for president.

THE JUNIOR BANQUET
Given TO Senior Glass at Park Hotel
on Friday Night

The Junior Glass of the Audubon
High School followed the usual GUS
tom in giving a banquet to the gradu-
ating class, the event taking place at
the Park Hotel last Friday night. 1t
is time for smoking the pipe of peace
to forgive and forget the scraps and
squalls they have had at school. The
Juniors are supposed to weep over the
departure OF the seniors, while they
smile through their tears at the pleas
ure of their going, But these school
affairs are always pleasant, and the
one Friday night was no exception to
the rule. The large dining room of
the hotel was nicely decorated with
plants and flowers and the colors of
both classes-red and white for the
Seniors and blue and white for the
Juniors. Ia keeping with the cOlors
they joined in singing "Three Cheers
for the Red, White and Blue" The
guests were Superintendent and Mrs.
MantZ, Miss Ella M. Stearns, the
former principal and present county
superintendent, and the Misses Patton,
Lily, Harris and Brown, of the High
School faculty. They were all seated
at one long table and bounteous six
course dinner was served, the walters,
with the exception of one; being from
the class OfNineteen Hundred and Six.
The occasion was one of much pleas
ure to the young people and one they
will remember as u bright spot in the
pathway of life.

a BIT OF WAR HISTORY
In Which Attorney John M. Grigg:
Was an Eye Witness

In August. 1864. the steamer Empress
in coming up the Mississippi was fired
upon by the rebels at Gaines Landing
and after deceiving siXty-three shots
from the enemy was towed away by
one of our gunboats. John NJ. Griggs
was on the boat and an eye witness to
the scene, which resulted in twenty
killed and wounded, the captain 5
head being blown off. The history of
the war contains the following order
from Major General Rosecrans, then
at Saint Louis, in command of the
Department of Missouri:
The general commanding the depart
ment takes great pleasure in calling
attention OF both citizens and the
army to the gallant conduct of the
officers and crew of the steamer En-
press during her recent trip from New
Orleans to this port. While in mar
row and difficult part of the river, and
within musket range of the shore, the
steamer was suddenly fired upon by a
heavy rebel battery, supported by a
strong body Of infantry. The firing
was rapid and accurate, almost every
shot taking effect, and the boat filled
with unarmed passengers in moment
became the scene of frantic terror. The
passengers, in their fright demanded
the surrender of the steamer, but the
officers coolly remained at their posts
and brought her through the danger,
saving by their bravery and noble
sense Of duty incalcuable suffering to
those on board and the valuable
steamer and cargo to the government.
Captain John Malloy, commander OF
the Enpress, was shot dead at his
post and while the general command
ing deeply sympathizes with the grief
of the family and friends of the de-
ceased he holds up this noble example
of unflinching valor in the perfor-
nance of duty as one worthy of the
emulation of all.

A Refreshing Rain.

What delight it was Tuesday
morning May 81, to be awakened at
daylight by the low rumble of thunder
in the distance aud the patter of rain
on the roof. And how refreshing it
was during the forenoon to see the
rain pour down and run in the streets
once again. And how cheerful it was
to see it clear up warm and. bright in
the afternoon. There wansn't quite
an inch of water fell but it will do u
power of good. The fact is it was get
ting pretty dry in this section SO that
the pasture and hay fields were suffer
ing from lack OF moisture and the
crop of hay this year at least will
be short. From the observation of a
long ride on Monday we Judge that
the small grain is in good condition.
and the corn, which is about an
planted, has been put in the ground
in condition that couldn't be
easily improved. With warm wealth
er and more showers now, both of
which are quite certain, this country
will be II picture of beauty and pros
perity before month from this time.

The Audubon Team

Audubon has a gentlemanly bunch
of boys and we are always glad to get
games with them here because they
always put out good team and their
conduct is spOrtsmanlike. They might
possibly have beaten Guthrie Center
this time had not the fierce roofing of
the crowd ratified some of their play
ers, causing costly errors at critical
stages of the game, while our own boys
had all the luck going. This is the
second game Audubon and Guthrie
Center have played this year, Audu-
bon taking the previous game on her
own grOuudS-Guthrie Center Times.

Those three hundred fifty plants set

fine this morning after the refreshing
rain that came last night. The work
was done by Mr.. and Mrs. r. S.
