THE LAW MUST BE oeeYeo

Attorney General Byers declares
that the proposition of the saloon
keepers at Davenport to give partial
observance to the law will not 90 and
that the mulct law must be observed
to the letter everywhere throughout
the state. If General Byers has the
ability and the nerve to make good
according to his statement he willmake
record that will last much longer
than his term of service. The papers
quote him as follows: +" If it Is within
the power of human effort to close the
saloons of Iowa every saloon in Iowa,
on every Sunday, 1t 10 going to be
done. There will be no more open Sun
day saloons in this state, ii the office
of the encouragement can stop it..
Nor will there be saloons in Iowa with
wine room appendages and other in
situations in violation of the statute.
If enforcement of the law results in a
single term of Office for the attorney
general. that fact will not change the
policy ofthis department..

SOME OLD PAPERS
Belonging to w. H Neff Are Now Of
Special interest.

Mr.. w. Fl Neff handed us some old
papers the other day which had been
preserved at til home Of his father
over ia Illinois for many years. One
was a copy of the New York Tribune
dated June 26, 1858 which had been as
it was until his death great power
welded by Horace Greeley. Among
the items noted was one ABOUT Rarey,
the horse tanner whom old timers will
remember. Gerritt Smith had made
an address before the National Peace
Society. The Tribune and Post were
discussing protection and free trade.
The platform of the Illinois Republi-
can State Convention was given which
closed by resolving "That Abraham
Lincoln is the first and only choice Of
the Republicans of Illinois for the
United States Senate as successor
of Stephen A. Douglas. " Another
was the Chicago Journal dated De-
cember 6. 1852, just forty-fve years
ago. 1t contains the annual message
of President Lincoln and notice
that Governor Kirkwood had ordered
draft from such townships as did
third was the Herald of Morris, ILL.,
nois, dated December II, 1860. From
a synopsis of President Buchanan's
message we note that he first cites the
discomfort that existed and then says

CONFIDENCE AND CURRENCY

Two elements that are necessary to
business prosperity are confidence and
currency. just as soon as the former
is destroyed or weakened helatter be-
comes timid and seeks retirement until
the former is restored. Anything that
is done to destroy public confidence in
financial affairs is against public sue
cess. When we look back over the last
three years and note what has been
done to destroy the confidence of the
people in the leaders of finance and
politics, the wonder is that the panic
has not come much sooner than it did.
The Cedar Falls Record we'll says:
st will not be out of place to OBJ
serve that the indiscriminate assault
upon men and business industries had
whole lot to do with thepanic. There
is limit to all things-excepting the
assault upon the character and con-
duct of public men. In this there is no
restraint. About every man in the
country who has attained prominence
either through political preferment or
for business sagacity has been the tar
get for all manner of abusive publici-
ty. Magazines have teemed with al
legged exposures and chautauqua plat
forms have reeked with the assault
upon captains of industry. Was it
strange that panic followed? Conf
dence is everything in business mat
tiers. The recent furry proves this. II
the country is to return to a prosper
Gus basis there must be suppression
of undertaking Money is timid and
as soon as public confidence Is shaken
it seeks seclusion. There never was q
time more propitious for sanity and
good judgment than now. Reckless
speeches and extravaganza statements
and differences are as detrimental to
| business as to private character"

The Sad Death Of JOHN HAMILTON JONES

AS indicated in these columns, las
week, Mr.. j. HI. Jones was very sicl
man, whose friends had very littl,
hope of his recovery. His strength
slowly ebbed away until the end which
came at eleven O'Clock on Saturday
night. The funeral services were held
at the Presbyterian church, in Audi
bon, on Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock, and the body Ray in state in
the church from half past twelve where
many friends improved the opportuni.
ty to take last look attheir departed
friend and neighbor, The church was
completely filled by the large audience
The Masons, representing Zag-Ga-Zig
Temple, Mobiles of The Mystic Shrine,
at Des Moines Godfrey Commandery,
Amity Chapter, Veritas Blue Lodge,
Number 1872, of Audubon; and members
of Exodus Blue Lodge, Number 342,
at Extra, fully one hundred in all, aud
the local Knights of Pythias Lodge OF
which Mr.. Jones was member, attend
ed in body. Veritas Lodge had
charge of the ceremonies and Godfrey
Commandery acted as escort. Many
beautiful floral offerings were sent by
fIiends of the family, noticeable
among which we're the Star, Sword
and Crescent, from Zag-Ga-Zig Tenn
Pile, at Des Moines; the Maltese Cross
and Crown from Godfrey Commandery
Knights Templar; the Square and
Compass, the emblem of Veritas Blue
Lodge; and the offering by the Audi
bon knights of Pythias Lodge. Rev
j. H. Hinkhouse, former pastor of
the church and a friend OF the deceas-
ed, preached the sermon from the
words, Let not your heart be troub-
led. He spoke of the deceased as a
good husband, good father, good
neighbor, good citizen and a good
friend giving consolation to the be-
reaved because ofthe honored memory
he had left them and the community.
He also urged the necessity for belief
in God and in Jesus Christ the Savior
of men. A short service by the Masons
was given before leaving the church;
then the pail bearers, Messrs. w. ID.
Stanley, George Griffin, Harm Rice,
Sid Goodwin, George Scott, George
Morey, near neighbors of deceased s
family, lifted the casket containing
the body and bore it over to Maple
Grove Cemetery, in this city, where il

publicly read by Rev. Ed b. Cousins,
a long time friend of the deceased:
OBITUARY
John Hamilton Jones was born at
Knoxville, Iowa, on March IL, 1857,
and died at his home, near Audubon
December l. 1907: his age being fifty
years, eight months and twenty-five
days. In the spring of 1878, with his
parents, he moved to Audubon county
Iowa, where he continued his residence
until death. He was united in mar.
riage with Marietta Weeks, October
26, 1880. A beloved wife, three sons,
Marion Jones, Fred Jones, March
Jones, and two daughters, the Misses
Daisy Jones and Bonna Jones, and
an only sister, Mrs. Amanda Wilson,
as direct relatives, remain to mourn
his sad and sudden demise, all of whom

host of faithful friends and neighbors

bereaved family ia honor OF his mem.
Dry, and in profound regret at his un-
| timely demise. Few, If any among us
could number larger list OF friends
and acquaintaces than our deceased
brother. For four years he was the
efficient, faithful sheriff of this county
which not only gained for him wider
acquaintance and broader friendship
but, doubtless, also developed enmi-
ties, more or less bitter, among some
for having faithfully performed his
official duty. All such enmities, II any,
should now moulder with the dust; but
friendships endure through eternity.
Not one of us is perfect and, therefore
at best, we can render but an imper-
feet verdict on another, which is ever
subject to review in the Higher Court.
Thus while we judge, in error, another
we may, in error, be ourselves be
judged. What mortal among US is
without faults and foibles, adverse
and disappointing TO others? Yet who
is there without some, even many vir-
tues and commendable traits of char
acter and life? Over all the former,
therefore, let us ever place the broad
mantle of Christian Charity; and guild
the latter gladly with the golden sum

ed brother was a member here of the
three Masonic Orders, Veritas Lodge;
Amity Chapter; and Godfrey Com
mandry; as also of the Knights Of
Pythias A devoted husband, fond

His final sickness was OF compare

death severe shock TO the entire COM
munity. Though his health had been
failing, almost imperceptibly, for
some time he had gone about his regu-
lar vacations until on Wednesday,

lowing Friday evening he was strick
en- with paralysis which terminated in
/ his death, after eight days OF intense
suffering, when the worn and weary
body at last found rest and his immor-
I tai spirit returned to God who gave,
to await the resurrection morn. In
less than fortnight he passed from
active life to the silent tomb; from the
earthly, we trust, to the heavenly
Home. We may not know-God knows.
The silent messenger came suddenly
and unannounced, yet failed not in his
mission, and waited for no fond fare
wells. A striking admonition for us

A Hopeful Sign.

A hopeful sign of the times is the
fact that Mr.. Hartman the railroad
king says that construction work all
along the line of the Hartman rail
roads which was suddenly brought to
a close month ago when the finan-
cial furry begun, will start up again
with renewed vigor today. ADVERTISE
ments appear in western papers for
thousands of men for the contractors
who are engaged by the Union Pacific
to, complete the work which was brot
to sudden close a short time ago.
Large orders have been given for new
locomotives and steel passenger cars.
The work will be increased and the
payroll extended.

Smith On Currency
OUR CONGRESSMAN FAVORS A
REVISION OF PRESENT LAW

Congressman Walter l. Smith left
November %, 1907, for Washington
to be present at the convening of the
new congress on December two. This
| is the long session, and congress will
probably be continuously at work un-
til the first of June, with the exception
of the usual holiday recess.
$ 1t is not probable that this session
will continue as late in the summer as
the first session of last congress-"
said Congressman Smith. Several
very important matters occupied con-
siderable time then, and there was no
presidential election following. On
account of the election next year the
members will probably be desirious
of getting the business out OF the way
at as early day as possible.
"Any legislation with reference to the
the tariff will likely go oyeruntil after
the presidential election, that ha wing
been looked upon as the wisest course
to pursue.
1t has been my hope that some ac-
ton will be taken providing for an
emergency currency, although con-
gress has not taken the matter up to
an extent. that has outlined any def
nite plan of action. My preference is
is for an emergency that will go out OF
circulation when the crisis that called
it into circulation is past. To accom-
plish this | believe the tax should be
at least five per cent. Some have sug-
gested lower tax, but the currency
will not retire from circulation as long
as thetax does not exceed the interest
paid on deposits. There Is demand
for currency of this kind, especially
at this time, and hope some plan will
be evolved that will be acceptable to
the members of this congress.
Further legislation governing rail
road rates will probably be passed at
this session, there being some new
conditions To be met. 1t is my judg-
ment that a measure should be passed
compelling railways, in the case of the
raising of rate, TO make application
to Interstate commerce commission
for permission to make such change,
time then being set for hearing. The
ruling of the commission should then
determine the question.
AS the law stands now complaint
may be made of any existing rate and
hearing had. If it is found to be
unjust it may beordered changed. But
there is no law preventing the rates
| being put up at any time between any
| points, and staying there until CON-
plant is made. The law would be en-
acted upon the presumption that the
rates as they exist at the time ofits en-.
actmenta are remunerative, having been
put into effect by the railway compa-
MES themselves. Reasons for any
change should then be presented to
| the commission.
''Such things as this develop after
laws are passed and have gone into
effect 1t is necessary also to keep on
changing the statutes to meet the new
conditions. When oneevil iscorrected
by law some way of accomplishing the
same thing or a similar thing is con-
ceived and put into effect, and then
that has to be met. 1t is probable that
some of the important statutes recent
ly passed will have to be- changed at
this session to meet new conditions.

NO THIRD TERM

A Washington dispatch of Decem
Der sixth says that a Pennsylvania
banker who urged the president to
consent to a denomination received
the following reply.
"That cannot be. cannot serve be-
yond my present term. / am grateful
to the American people for their kind
ly feeling toward me, but somebody
else must carry on the work"
The same dispatch claims that the
president will throw all his influence
toward the nomination of Secretary
Taft, but we seriously doubt this
statement. To do so will be very poor
politics. While the president may
properly show a personal preference
for Taft without criticism, just as
soon as he should begin to use his
great influence to secure delegations
he would aleniate many friends and
make it Taft against the "FIeld. The
result would be that the Field" would
win and nominate Hughes from the
presidents own state. If Secretary
Taft can patch up a peace in his own
state and get an enthusiastic delega.

Might Well Follow the Example

full to the board of supervisors for the
room which has been fittedup for their
use at the court house. The new quar-
tiers will be known as the Ladies
waiting ROOM and are located in the
northwest corner of the building-in
the basement They are easy of ac-
cess, we'll lighted-giving one fine
view from the windows of Reeve ST.;
supplied with furniture consisting OF
a handsome davenport, settee, rock
ing chair, etc in fact the equipments
most complete and gives the place an
air of solid comfort, Adjoining this
large room there is washroom which
contains large mirror, hair brushes,
combs and other articles usually found
in quarters of this kind at first-class
hotels; also water closets. The wait
ing room is certainly complete in de-
tail and the supervisors hope that the
ladies will feel free to visit the quar-
tiers that have been arranged especial
ly for their accommodation and COM
fort. An informal opening OF the
room will be held next Saturday and
the ladies are cordially invited to call
and inspect the premises. Hampton

round trip of twenty-eight miles and
serving l18 families. Route Number
Seven will be added to Audubon and
run in a westerly direction between

however-which are constantly hold

there are times when the tenderloin
