Secretary Taft In Iowa
BANQUET AT COUNCIL BLUFFS
Entertained AT Omaha On Monday And
Council Bluffs, Tuesday. Created
Great Enthusiasm.

Both Omaha and Council Bluffs
have been greatly stirred this week by
visit from the big secretary of war.
His being cabinet officer in the Roos-
evelt administration was of itself
sufficient to attract large attention;
but his being candidate for presi-
dent and practically sure of nomina-
ton, aroused the greatest curiosity
and created much enthusiasm. The
secretary was in lime light in more
ways than one. When he arose to
speak ia the large auditorium at Om-
aha before many thousand people, the
regular lights were turned down and
he was left standing in a spot light"
so that every body could get a good
look at the next president. The ON
aha Bee speaks of him as follows:
LOOKS THE LEADER
There in the great white light he
stood for moment showing plainly
the modesty and simplicity of his
nature by the apparent embarrassment
he felt at being so much in the lime
light The thousands of people got an
idea at that moment of the serene pow
er of the man; saw the fine head, well
modelled nose, large, deep and WIDE sci
eyes and the large body which dld not
look so pondrous. Then the almost
unceasing cheers broke out and the
thousands caught the suggestion that
Mr.. Taft is a born leader; already the
premier of great administration, and
destined to be commander-in-ch by
his own right. The spot light was
turned off, and the secretary OF war
lost no time in delivering the address
which he read from carefully prepared
manuscript.
1t was only after a strenuous day
that the secretary of war appeared at
the auditorium in the evening. He had
already spent over an hour being re-
of his address; dined at the Omaha
club, stood for over an hour in the
lobby of the Hotel Rome shaking
hands with thousands of business men
farmers, leaders of organized labor,
politicians and admirers, and then
addressed an audience of Omaha
women at the meeting of the Woman
Club at the Congregational church.
The audience was one OF the typ
ically American and most representa-
tive that hassever greeted any speak
er in the state of Nebraska, and the
Auditorium never contained a more
critically attentive and intelligent
gathering From the first word of his
address to the last, Secretary Taft
held that audience spellbound with his
earnest, convincing statements and
arguments His speech contained 5000
words, but it might have contained
but 500 so far as the audience was con.
cerned, for it was manifestly eager to
hear all he had to say.

nomination to the Office of represent
alive in the legislature from this coun-
ty, subject to the decision of the Re-
publican voters at the primaries to be
held on the second day of June 1908.
Mr.. Bonwell has been a resident of
this county for so many years and is
so well known that no word concern
ing his ability and integrity is needed
from this paper He has served one
term as member OF the Iowa House
and performed his duties in careful,
capable and conscientious manner.
The records show that he favored and
supported the primary law, the rail-
road laws, the laws concerning insur-
ance, and all other advanced legisla-
ture in favor of his constituents. The
acquaintance and experience gained
ia his first term will be of much value
in a second term which he asks at the

their vote at the Primary election. "

second term; and we are confident he
will receive the nomination without

good majority next November.

DES MOlNES..HARLAN RAILWAY

The Shelby County Republican de-
voted a full column last week to the
new inter-urban project to build from
Des Moines through Guthrie Center,
Audubon, and Harlan to the Missouri
river. b. f. Cue from Des MONIES

the people in the building of such
line figuring that the returns would
paw a good per cent on the investment
Electric lines cost to build and equip
about $40, 900 per mile. The compan-
les who build usually put up in cash
about one-forth the cost and bond the
road for three fourths. One hundred
thousand dollars worth of stock from
each of the seven counties through
| which the line would run would be
sufficient to establish the enterprise
THE balance could be borrowed.
Another meeting was held at Walnut
\ recently in the interest of raod be-
ginning at Council Bluffs, through
Treyuor, thence to Carson, Walnut,

FINDINGS NOT KEEPINGs.
Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.

Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.
When one Is on the public thorough
fare or in the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that Is
valuable, Is it his?
True, he may find something which
Is too small and trifing to warrant
searching to find the owner, such as q
handkerchief, pair Of gloves, etc.
But when he finds something of value
1t is not his until he has done every
thing in his power to find the owner.
The street railways and trains are
so systematized today that If, when
one finds an object of value, he re-
turns 1t to the company's representa-
tive 1t is almost sure to catch up with
it's owner Every person of intelli-
gence knows that the first place to
inquire for 1t Is at the lost and found
department.
When, however, one Is on the street
and finds something which, If he lost
1t himself, he would very much like to
have returned, there are the columns
Of newspaper in which to advertise.
II he fails to find the owner after
this, then he can rightfully call 1t his
own and have clear conscience, but
II he avoids looking over the lost and
found columns and fails to do his part
toward finding the owner he is almost
as dishonest as If he took the goods

DIDN'T NEED IT.
Why q Scotch Farmer Refused Por-
tion OF Dessert.

Why q Scotch Farmer Refused q Por.
ton OF Dessert.
Could the funny sayings and incl
dents at the tenants dinners In Scot
land be collected they would make an
unriyaled book Of humor. Mistakes Of
amusing and sometimes embarrassing
nature occur frequently at such func-
lions. Ono story is told Of guest at
Scottish tenants dinner who tasted
ice cream for the first time on that Oc-
casion. He pushed large spoonful of
the frozen mixture into his mouth and
jumped from his chair with agony ex-
pressed on his face. He let out a yell
and cried out COW, ow, ma rotten
toOthr and could not be induced to
eat any more.
At another Scottish affair of the kind
good old farmer was seated next to
the hostess. She served him bit Of
savory Omelet, which seemed to cause
the old man deep disappointment. His
idea of an omelet had always been q
dessert with sugar or fruit or jams,
and after tasting the sample before
him he turned to the hostess and said,
"Weel, ma lady, / Gamma compliment
you on your puddin's."
The late Duke of Buccleuch told q
story Of tenant at one of the farmers
dinners on his estates who was asked
by the duchess If he would take some
rhubarb, a dish she was fond of. The
farmer was surprised, but answered
politely, "I'm muclhe obleeged to your
grace, but dinna' need it."

FLOOD CALLED WEST

At the earnest request OF the
National Democratic Committee
Congressman Hal D. Flood, of the
Tenth District, has cancelled all
his Virginia appointments and has
gone to Ohio and Indiana to spend
the last two weeks of the campaign
speaking for Bryan and Kern. The
appointments made for Mr.. Flood
in Virginia will be filled by others.
Secretary Brenaman being now en-
gagged in making out the list.
Mr.. Flood is one of the most Wig
orous and successful campaigners
in the State, and he may be count
ed upon to make good" among
strangers. He has represented his
district in congress for many years,
and was chairman of the Virginia
delegation at the national conven-
ton held in Denver last summer.
The Tenth District is safely Dem
ocratic, though Mr.. Flood leaves it
only at the urgent request of the
national committee, which body
believes he can be of service in
doubtful states.

The lead zinc and oil in that

How many gallons, half trash

from India brought with him goodly
stock Of souvenirs. Among them was
pair Of laughing jackasses, which he
intrusted to one Of the sailors, Tom
Pinch.
Alas! The unaccustomed shipboard
life did not agree with the creatures,
and in spite Of all Toms care they
pinned and finally died.
When he discovered the catastrophe,
Tom was in despair.

Our bright and energetic Con-
gresham, Hon. Henry D. Flood,
feeling confident in his district, has
accepted a strong invitation to
speak in the West the last week of
the campaign. In his absence let
us be just as Jealous to help him as
he is to help in other states.
Mr. Flood has made us a faithful
representive in both state and nat
ional affairs, and with majority
in the House we can look for great
er things. When he addressed the
voters of this county week ago
he told us of the Cannon Rules"
which denies him or any one else
the right to introduce bill unless
a certain committee sees fit. When
millions of dollars were being ap-
prOprlated for battle ships etc., Mr..
Flood got up on the floor of the
House of Representatives and asked
permission to be heard on a bill
appropriating some of these millions
for our public highways and was
not allowed to be heard at all. John
Sharp Williams met a similar fate
when he tried to bring up
a bill reducing the tariff on wood
pulp paper, signed by a number
petitioners. "Is this giving equal
rights to ALP? Next Tuesday you
will be given an opportunity to cor
rect or Encourage this method of
doing business. Which will you
