FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY

President Taft is demonstrating very
clearly by his addresses that he is in
favor of both peace and prosperity. His
first work after his induction into Office
was to redeem the pledges of the plat
form for q revision of the tariff. Now
that he has disposed of that business he
is making tour through the country to
see the people and assure them that he
is in favor of peace as well as prosperity.
We agree with The Inter Ocean that he
should have many thanks for what he
is doing in this respect. That paper re-
fers to the matter in the following Ian
guage:
President Taft is just finishing the first
third of his tour through the United
States. For two weeks he has been inn
parting his views of public affairs to the
people of this nation. AS far as in him
lies he has been and is informing the
American people just what manner of
president he has been, is and intends to
| be- Without pretense or ostentation
without pomp or rhetoric or fervor of
oratory, without q single catch phrase
or solitary epigram he has set forth in
the language that all can understand
Just what he thinks he should do to bet
ter life, protect liberty and facilitate the
the pursuit of happinessin this republic
He has left the past without reproaches
and has devoted himself to the needed
reforms of the future.
Some of the changes that he has sug-
oeSte1 in Our laws have been radical
Some of the reforms will cut deeply
But, as far as suggested, they contem-
| plate no violence to the constitution:
! they are to be accomplished, in his opin-
ion, only by due process of law; and
their sole purpose is justice among men
i'm the future; not vengeance upon men
for the past Therefore President Taft s
words have fallen upon this nation as
the dew of great blessing. The balm
| of their tranquility has soothed the
nerves and raised the hopes of millions.
Their effect within the few days that
have gone, and the many days that are
to come, will be felt wherever the spirit
of our government pervades the daily
lives of the people. And eventually,
| through their benefcent influence, they
will cure more hardships, dry more tears
comfort more families and speed more
fathers on the pleasanter ways of life
than all the sounding phrases and hur
ricane professions that were heaped upon
us in the preceding eight years
a few kind words, pleased That. was
the request that we efficiently presented
to the president two weeks ago this
morning. The request has been granted
For all of which let us return thanks

Wilmer Kester At Rest

Jacob Wilmer Kester was born on
February IA, 1888, in Lincoln township,
Audubon county. Iowa, where he spent
the early days of life with his parents
on the farm. In 1893 he entered the
High School at Audubon, graduated
with the class of 1901, decided to teach
and for three years he taught in Audu-
bon county. In 1904 he went to Oregon
where he taught for two years in the
public schools at Astoria, and his work
there was exceedingly satisfactory The
superintendent in speaking of his work
said: The schools of which Mr. Kester
was principal during his two years stay
with us, the Alderbrook and Onley, We're
i'm very bad condition as to both disci-
pline and work of general character.
He succeeded in bringing them mp to
first-class discipline and he made much
stronger and better the quality of work
done. | am well pleased with his work
and would like to have had him remain
longer with us. His character has never
been questioned and he is worthy of the
confidence of any board in need of
teacher Leaving Astoria Mr.. Kester
went to Washington State whore he
| taught for two years. AT the time he
was taken sick he was preparing to enter
upon the study of law. When boy he
united with the Evangelical church but

church of that place. Since leaving his
home he had been home but once, and

COOK AND PEARY

The makeup of some people is very
unfortunate for themselves and all 9th
ers with whom they associate. They
are unhappy themselves and make 9th
ers unhappy. Note the difference be-
tween Doctor Cook and Commander
Peary. The former announced his dis
covery of the north pole and the applause
rang round the world. A week later the
latter announced his discovery of the
north pole and the people were ready to
give him similar applause. Doctor Cook
said all right; that Mr.. Peary was a
great explorer and there was no reason
why he shouldn't have discovered the
pole, and uttered no word of disparage-
ment to Mr.. Peary's claim But Com
mander Peary became petulant and de
clared that Doctor Cook neverdiscovered
the north pole and had never gone out
of sight of land. We can easily see why
Mr., Peary may have felt chagrined be-
cause Doctor Cook hod claimed first hon
ors in the race; but he would have gain
ed much more if he had kept his tenn
per. That Peary has become absolutely
selfish and unworthy of honor is shown
in his treatment of Captain Bartlett
When the pole was almost in sight he
turned back all the brave white compan-
ions who had shared the hardships of
his expedition and risked their lives to
make it success, and he admits with
candor that he sent these men back sole
ly because of the overmastering desire
TO have all alone the glory of reaching
the pole. Captain Robert Bartlett was
the last of Peary's comrades on the final
dash to be sent back This hardy seaman
had done mans work throughout the
perilous journey, and to him as much rs
to any one was due Peary' final success
But at the eighty eighth parallel, when
the pole was most in sight he was or
dered back. 1t was bitter disappoint-
ment, said Bartlett in q recent interview,
L cried little. got up early the next
morning while the rest were asleep and
started north alone. guess / was just
a little crazy then, but / thought per
haps ] could walk the rest of the way
alone it seemed so near. ! went along
for five miles or so and then came to my
senses. Never mind whether there were
any words or not. The commander said

AUDUBON CORN EXHIBIT
Mr. Nash Extends Many Thanks to
Those Who Participated

The greatest of Audubon county fairs
is matter of history, The corn exhibit
was simply great and aroused an inn
mense enthusiasm, not only among the
exhibitors but among the thousands that
viewed it, Every one was proud of the
showing and proud of Audubon county.
If one-tenth of the enthusiastic corn
growers who promised to exhibit next
year are ON hand we will have the big
gest show ever. What we want is u
good husky lot of Corn Boosters in every
township to talk Corn. Nothing but
corn, more corn and better corn will
make 500 per acre land Now is the
time To get ready forneXt years exhibit
by n more careful selection of seed.
Keep this in mind We want every live
farmer to become II member of the Au-
dubon County Corn Boosters Society.
All you have TO do to become a member
is to exhibit at the corn showIncNt year,
We want 100 members and particularly
the boys and girls. They showed their
dads something this year and we
hope that next year they will he ON

dubon county soil will produce 100 bush,
els per acre with good seed and proper
cultivation and the Audubon County
Boosters are trying TO make this state
ment good. Watch for the premium
list and be sure You are on hand next
year.
