FREEMAN OF U
President Of the National Association Of
Civil War Musicians

The Register Il Leader of last Sunday
occupied one of its pages with an illus.
trated article concerning Mr.. Il. J. Free
man of Audubon and the National
Association of Civil War Musicians of
which he is the president, OF Mr.. Free
man and his great martial band the ar
ticle in the Register & Leader speaks rs
rs follows.
An Iowa man will lead the biggest
band eve organized; out at Salt Lake
City during the week of Aug. ola. He
is Il. j, Freeman of this city, who is
president, and has been for four years,
of the national association of civil war
musicians. This association has the or
"ganiZation of Il drum corps and us il has
over 700 members who will play all at
once, IL will be the largest single aggre-
CATION of musicians over which any man
has exercised leadership.
Elthelbert j. Freeman, known as
Bert" and Shorty, " went through the
wal ut the extreme left of Company A
of the Sixteenth Illinois, being the short.
est man in the organization. Though
short of stature he was tall in patriotism
endurance and courage. He never lodged
guard duty, shirked u march, missed q
fight, or whimpered over his place in
rank or against his superiors, from the
first days service rs IA raw recruit To the
last n when Il veteran of more than
four years. His Springfield rifle was
always ready for immediate inspection
or TO load and fire ut will"
After the war n few years he found
himself residing in Audubon, Ia, where
he yet lives, is prominent, respected and
prosperous. Though not long a musician
in the army he became one in Audubon,
where, after some years, he organized u
drum corps, Nothing but the biggest
satisfied shorty Freeman, so, of course
his was the biggest drum corps in the
county; then he took in the county, and
the counties round, until he organized
n mammoth drum corps of the old filters
and drummers of the state, which kept
growing under his supervisor and en-
thusiastic endeavor until now there il
in existence the National Association

FAVORS INCOME TAX

Governor Vessey, of South Dakota, is
quoted as saying: II am heartily in
favor of the income tax, not only as an
emergency measure, but as a regular
system of taxation. In my next mes
sage to the South Dakota Legislature |
shall appeal for an immediate indorse-
ment of this amendment and in any
speeches l may be required to make
upon political subjects / will commend
this amendment TO the best of my abili-
ty. l believe in the income tax because
it will force the men of wealth to pay
their reasonable share of taxation. just
because of their money they are often
able to pass their taxes on to Others
who do not have so much money, For
example, the landlord figures his taxes
into the rent. The money lender, if he
is forced to pay taxes, which is unusual,
will insist on adding the amount of them
to the interest he receives. The manu-
facturer will include the sum of his
taxes In the price of his products. The
rich New Yorker will swear himself out
of his personal tax by declaring he is
not q resident OF the state. All these
classes, consisting of wealthy men, will
find 1t impossible to avoid the income
tax. Those who say it would encourage
perjury can as consistently claim any
tax encourages perjury, for there is no
form of taxation that a property owner
cannot, in whole or in part, escape by
resorting to perjury. He favors the in
come tax because it taxes the rich in
stead Of the poor"

POLITICAL BUGABOOS

Every period in our political history
has had one or more political bugaboos
or scapegoats upon whom TO saddle
heavy loads of ignominy and Islander,
A few years ago it was Mark Hanna,
the big Drained, large hearted chairman
of the Republican National Committee
who was so persistently traduced in the
public prints that some people thought
he was q ferocious beast going about
the country seeking whom he might
devour. He fortunately lived until the
people learned that he was a loyal and
patriotic citizen and u benefactor of
mankind. For several years now Uncle
Joe Cannon speaker of the National
Congress, has been the victim of vicious
and unrelenting attacks in the public
press; but the people of his district send
him back to Congress and the members
Of the lower house continue him in the
high office of speaker of that body. Just
at this time Senator Aldrich is being
crucifed before a hostile public because
he happens to hold u coveted position
in the United States Senate. He has
been a prominent member of that body
for years and, with Senator Allison gone,
easily became the leader, As chairman
OF. the Finance Committee he has had
charge of the tariff bill. He lives in the
east where manufacturing is the prin-
cipal business and where its protection
is of great importance to all the people.
Senator Aldrich naturally stands for his
own state and that section i'm which it
is located. But while he has stood man
fully and fearlessly for the east he has
favored protection for all interests every
where in our country. Senator Aldrich
has been always and openly for a high
tariff in which he has had the same
rights as any other senator, even of
those whose principal stock in trade has
been his denunciation. If some senators
had posed less and worked harder we
think they might have accomplished
more for their constituents.

Twenty-Five Quarts q Day

o. J. Smith, former editor of The
Herald, is now making himself famous
and incidentally improving his health
taking care of a fine Jersey cow. The
cow is one of the best and the scientific
treatment she is now receiving makes
her q wonder. o. j. milks the COW
three times a day. In the morning she
gives about twelve quarts of milk.
About noon she has ready another sup
ply and o. j. relieves her OF about seven
quarts more. Evening m and with
it six or seven quarts more. In addition
to supplying about "a quarts of milk the
cow Is ~mothering a fine full blood Jersey
calf. The calf promises to take a pre-
MUM at the county fair and in the
meantime the bucolic editor is the bust
est man in Eldora. Long live o. j. aud
the cow.-EldOra Herald

BAND MAKES ITS DEBUT
Leader EIwell and His Band Makes
Good Impression at First Concert

The Audubon Cornet Band gave its
first public concert in the city park last
Saturday evening and the music was
enjoyed by a large gathering of people,
all a~nxious'to hear the first public effort
of the boys with their instruments. The
audience did not expect to hear classical
selections on this occasion, but the Sc
lections given were all so we'll played
that everyone was satisfied with what
they heard.
The concert consisted of ten numbers
and every number received a hearty en-
core at its conclusion and for several
numbers the hand clapping was so in
sistent that a portion of the numbers
was repeated. The vocal chorus selec-
ton was especially pleasing to the all
who heard it. This made the band boys
and their leader feel good, as it encour-
aged and gave them confidence as well
as convinced them that their efforts were
appreciated by the people of the city.
In some of the numbers there were no
discordent notes, while those which
We're noticed were of such minor import
ance that no adverse comment was
made upon them. This was taken as
an indication that the band is doing all
right and that it is reasonable to expect
that in a short time better music may
be looked for.
The band is now practicing on several
new pieces which will be given in the
concerts that are to follow during the
summer, it being the intention of the
band to give a concert every fair Satur-
day evening until cold weather makes
it necessary to desist.
The leader expects to have two new
pieces ready for the concert to be given
next Saturday evening.

More Railroad Talk

Brother McClureof the F~ontanelle OBJ
server says there are signs that western
Iowa is at the beginning of an era of
railroad building that win more ade-
quately meet the needs of the people.
The roads that are here have very natur-
ally tried to cover the territory with
such facilities Us they had, but the time
il at hand when occupation is threaten
ed by other enterprises and il need not
he surprised ii the old companies get
busy and beat them TO it. There is
room for two lines from Des Moines to
Council Bluffs, one between the Rock
Island and Burlington main lines and
one To the north of the Rock Island
through Guthrie Center, Audubon and
Harlan. Whether these fields will he
occupied by steam roads or i~nterurbans
is only u question of activity, but the de-
velopment of the country that il rapidly
growing richer will soon demand and
get these facilities, not by batting and
subsidies, but as IA business investment.

THE CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM

Having heard more or less criticism of
the C~hautauqua program this year, we
take up the matter now while the lee
lures and musicales are still fresh in the
minds of those who heard them. Do
not understand that we are Directing to
any fair criticism, for that is the pre-
rogative of every American citizen,
especially when he pays an average OF
about 12 cents for each entertainment,
as was the case ON the program this
year.
To begin this further review, let us
say there is general agreement that the
program this year was not as strong o
satisfactory as it was in the past two
years. After the first C~hautauqua, two
years ago, we said to Prof. Graham that
they had set a very high standard and
expressed our fear that they could not
keep it up to that a second year. But
they did and planned to do 50 again this
year. We lost the entertainment Mon
day afternoon, but that was no fault OF
the bureau. 1t arose from the fact that
we live so far from the main lines of
railroad that after riding night and day
and driving across the country from
Templeton they arrived after the hour
had passed. Moreover, Monday was an
extra day added this year for the first
time. That Champ Clark did not come
on Wednesday was a disappointment;
but when he vas placed upon the pro-
gram months before, no n expected
he would he detained in Washington
until the last days of July, and we feel
confident that the Hon. Champ Clark
himself was disappointed and berated
the Republicans in strong terms because
of the good Chautauqua money he was
losing on their account. But why didn't
they send a better substituteY We an
swer, because good, strong men who
could fill the place of such men as Clark
or Lands or Alden are not standing
around with their hands in their pockets
waiting for assignments to substitute
for somebody else and the bureau has to
do the best it can with the material that
a be secured.
Some were not satisfied with the en-
tertainment given by the bell ringers.
They admit the execution was fine, but
the bells were not good and out OF tune.
Yet that company was composed OF
eight musicians imported from England
at a large outlay and placed on the pro
gram at a greater expense probably than
any other of the musical entertainments
given.
Sunday would nave been a great day,
but Nature interfered with a steady
rain. Kindly remember that while we
lost much pleasure on that day the bu-
reau lost much in dollars and cents.
Now let us look at the other side. We
had the most delightful weather that
could be furnished for a C~hautauqua,
except on Sunday. Beginning Tuesday,
we had five days of regular program, ex-
cept the substitution on Wednesday.
Four of these days were strong, the
other average. Any one of these days
was easily worth so cents, which would
make 81. so. Many consider the evening
by Bingham was of itself worth 80 cents,
which would make 800, without saying
anything about Sunday. The more we
think of it the more we are convinced
that with a few exceptions we had a
good, strong program and one worth
twice the cost of a season ticket.

Gen. Grant at State Fair

Gen. Fred ID. Grant, the Vol ofthe
great soldier, has secured leave of alb
sence and will speak at the Iowa State
Fair on Soldiers Day. Gen. Grant is
the living image of his father and for
this reason, no doubt, veterans who
served under u. S. Grant will be even
more interested in seeing the son. He
is of the same general appearance of his
father and cuts his beard as his father
did, thus heightening the RESEMBLANCE.
