THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN
sy ALsERT o. Ross
REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS
PUBLISHED EVERY rnURsDAt.

1t is noticeable that the representa-
tives in congress are generally voting
for the interests of their constituents
on the tariff schedules that are being
voted on from time to time. Even the
democrats from the south are pretty
generally standing by the particular
interests of their own districts and
voting for protection of the articles
grown or manufactured by their own
constituents. For doing this Mr.. Bry-
an is trying to read them on OF the
party; but they reply by saying that
Mr.. Bryan did the same thing when
he was a member OF congress. Ia 1892
the democratic national platform de-
clared in favor of the repeal OF the
Sherman silver purchase act and the
abolition of the 10 per cent tax on
state bank notes. Mr.. Bryan voted
against both of these and tried to ex-
plain his vote by saying: ut has been
stated that every democrat Is in duty
bound to vote for the repeal OF the
state bank tax because of the plank
relating to that subject adopted by the
last democratic national convention.
A platform can only bind those who
run upon it," Precept and practice
are two different things, and we think
this especially true of politicians.

George Morey's Obsequies

George Morey was born In Du Page
county, Illinois, December 10, 1856,
aud died at his home near Old Hamlin,
Audubon county, Iowa, June Z, 1909.
He was married TO Miss Elizabeth
Banning at the age of twenty-four and
they came directly to Audubon county
where they had since resided To this
union eight children were born; one
died In infancy, and three are married
namely: Mrs. Clair Harvey, OF Lake
City, Iowa; Mr.. Will Morey, Guthrie
Center, Iowa; Mrs. Lou Miller, Good.

sent at the last sad rites. His father
died at the Morey home last March,
and his mother had preceded him TO
the grave but a few years. His three
brothers still survive him. Mr.. Morey
had suffered much from cancer OF the
stomach and last April he went up to
the hospital at Rochester, Minnesota.
to seek relief but was told that his case
was beyond earthly help, so he came
home with the hope that he might yet
be spared to his family aud friends
for u little while. Mr.. Morey was u

the most influential workers. Funeral

BOTH POPULAR MEN

Two or three papers OF the district
notably the Logan Observer, Atlantic
Telegraph and Harlan American are
just now engaged in an attempt to
create a boom for Attorney General
Byers as a candidate for Congress next
year, in opposition TO Judge Smith.
Mr.. Byers is an able mar and we'll de-
serves all the good things that the
papers say of him, but he Is also
thoroughlyinformed on the condition
of affairs and the sentiment prevailing
Ia the ninth district-a great deal bet
ter in fact than the astute editors OF
the papers referred to, and it seems
safe to say that he will not at this time
care t risk the high standing he has
attained or to strain the friendship
and good will OF the republicans Of
the nine greatest counties of the state
by forcing them to a choice between
himself and Judge Smith In the next
ensuing primary. Both General Byers
and Judge Smith are men of high
standing, marked ability and wide in
~iuence; the ninth district and In
fact the state at large should rather
see that each was afforded q proper
field where their recognized talents
may be used for the benefit OF the
whole people rather than to precipi-
tate a conflict whereby the services Of
one might be lost. In the words of
Admiral Schley at Santiago, there

BILLY SUNDAY MADE GOOD
His Revival at Ma~rshalltOwn Declared
Remarkable Success

In a lengthy review of the work Of
his revival at Marshalltown found in
The Times Republican, the leading
paper of that city, the editor declares
that Billy Sunday had remarkable
uccess Many I" Who came to scoff
remained to pray" and others who
said that :" Neither Sunday nor any
other man could raise the money "
found one morning meeting brought
all hat was necessary to pay the eX-
penses. The article closed as follows:
Billy Sunday has come and gone.
He has answered slanderous charges
that preceded him to the satisfaction
of Marshalltown and the wide country
that lies about thatcity. II any believe
him a CRATER they are of small and
silent minority. He has left no fierce
quarrels in his wake. He has not en-
broiled neighbor against neighbor.
The men who have refused to line up
with the Christian life are patting those
who did upon the shoulders and say
ing You're all right"
If this community and central Iowa
could be polled, it would acclaim Rev.
Sunday q of the greatest revivalists
in existence; a sincere preacher of the
gospel; and aside from his Office and
his mission as one of the plainest,
simplest, happiest, truest of men. A
great preacher, acongenial companion
and a true friend. Such is Billy Sun
day, who as a youth worked for $3.50
a week in Marshalltown and slept on
a bed through the kindness of a friend
and who came back in his middle age
with a message OF marvellous power;
TO whom universal honor is accorded;
whose old friends are still his friends
aud for whom the mighty pulse of cen

MONDAY WAS FLAG DAY

Flag Day comes on the 18th of June
and we are glad to see that it was re-
membered by a few OF our citizens last
Monday. The American flag was adopt
id on that day in l777. The first n
aud many more were made by Mrs.
Betsey Ross of Philadelphia whose
husband was a nephew ofUncle George
Ross who signed the Declaration OF
Independence. The house in which she
lived is carefully preserved and in
spected annually by many thousand
visitors to that city. Flag Day does
not point to the glories and achieve
ments of the past alone, but asks us to
pause a moment so that the rising rem
GRAFTON may learn the lesson that ''The
flag is most beautiful when unfurled
in q good cause" In the language OF
another:
"Our flag is the symbol Of liberty.
1t is beautiful and inspiring just to the
extent that our institutions are free
institutions, according to each the
rights which should be his. In all the
countries and all ages patriotism has
been one OF mans most praised attri-
butes and the literature OF the world is
largely the recitation OF devotion and
labor for country. And II men have
throughout died for their coun-
try in spite OF oppression, how much
greater is our duty in a land OF the
free to see to it that u flag is the
symbol of worthy aspirations and that
it shields no dishonor or injustice to
the humblest entitled to its protection"

A NEW CHURCH COLLEGE
To be Established 10 Iowa by the Evan.
gelicsI Church

At a meeting OF the annual confer
ence OF the Evangelical church held at
Gladbrook, Ia, it was decided that
$3.50, 900 should be raised for the pur-
pose of establishing a college for that
denomination which shall be located
somewhere in our state. A committee
OF five headed by Rev. Mr.. Scheib OF
Burlington was appointed and author
ized>to raise the money and select the
site.
Our attention was called to this by
one OF our citizens who suggested that
Audubon would be a fine place for
such an institution and he believes it
might be secured II proper steps should
be taken by the Commercial Club to
which body the matter of Its consider
alton Is respectfully referred.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY
George E. Kness of Audubon Township
Suffers Loss of One Foot

That accidents will happen to the
best of men was verified again down
in Audubon township last Sunday.
George Il. Kness, one OF its leading
citizens, while out driving with Louis
Huss had a runaway that resulted in
the loss of his right foot. 1t seems
that while driving down a hill the bril-
die of one horse was broken by a jump
of the animal and OF course under
such conditions the driver was help
less and the team ran away. Mr. Huss
jumped from the buggy in safety and
when Mr.. Kness feared certain death
or serious injury by remaining In the
buggy he decided TO take the risk OF

jumping hoping that he might escape
any serious injury. But owing to his
heavy weight OF two hundred forty
pounds his right foot was so badly
crushed that nothing could he done to
save it. Doctor Riley of Extra and
Doctors Emmert of Atlantic we're call
ed and they concluded the best thing
to do would be to take him to the hos
pital in Atlantic, which was done by
train Monday noon and the leg was
amputated about four inches above
the ankle.
This accident to Mr.. Kness comes as
a very severe shock to him and his
large family, and also to a large cir
Gle af friends throughout the county.
Though he is AS years of age he is
strong and vigorous and will probably
make a rapid recovery; but will be
much handicapped ia his work the rest
of his life.
