Attorney Harry E. Sampson of Des
Moines who made a fine address at
Extra Monday afternoon came up to
Audubon that evening and spent Tues
day among friends at home. The fol-
lowing quotation from his address APP
pears in Tuesdays Register & Leader:
"What we need In America Is a
wave of indignation against corporate
interference and corrupt politicians
so bitter that it will generate a moral
enthusiasm deep enough to drive out
corrupt corporation, overthrow bosses
and machines, wrest the government
from the hands of those who are using
it for their selfish end. We must crys-
tallize the judgment of the people that
these conditions are morally wrong
and develop a public sentiment which
will look upon any captain OF industry
who seeks to corrupt the government
for his benefit as n Of the greatest
enemies to free institutions. We must
produce patriotism OF a nobler type.
Men must accept positions Of trust for
public good rather than private gain;
they must be rue to the ballot box;
their patriotism must be deeper than
sentiment or private interest; 1t must
be broader than creed or party; its
source must be in the divine law

A CHERRIES
FOURTH OF JULY
WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE BAD
Saturday Was Cloudy but Comfortable.
Monday Was Cool, Cloudy and Rainy
and Roads in Bad Condition

The glorious fourth was not a great
success. The fact that it came on Sun
day divided the interest and enthusi-
asm between Saturday and Monday.
Then the weather was not propitious.
Those who celebrated Saturday had
the best Of it. Those who put it off
till Monday had the worst of it. Sat-
urday morning was cloudy and threat
ened rain which did not come in many
places. After the extremely hot wealth
er of several days, Saturday was just
pleasantly cool, restful and invigorat-
ing. Sunday was somewhat similar
but Sunday night it rained. Monday
was cool, cloudy, rainy, gloomy and
the roads very muddy. The rain
poured down most of Monday night
and the dark cloudy weather has con-
tinued.
The celebration up at Gray Satur-
vas fairly we'll attended and the people
had a pleasant time with but one accl-
dent, the amphitheater at the ball park
collapsed and one person received a
s%prained ankle, is all that spoiled the
day. The address by Senator Cosson
was timely, hopeful, enthusiastic and
delivered in the pleasing manner
characteristic of all his speeches..
Out at Fiscus there was a large and
happy crowd of farmers and their
families who gathered in from the sur,
rounding community to enjoy q half
hnllnn of |nInnonFn ftnn tho hip
picnic dinner they gave the most cour-
teous attention to an address by At
tOrney w. G. Elliott who spoke for an
hour combining the humorous and the
serious in a way to make il attractive
to all classes. Several gentlemen
have said to us that Mr.. Elliott made
the best fourth of July address they
ever heard. Martial music was fur
nished by Drake, Ocheltree and anoth-
er gentleman whose name we do not
recall.
On Monday the people at Luccock's
Grove anticipated and would have had
a very pleasant celebration, which
would have had a large attendance
from But owing to the con-
ditions OF h weather was abandoned.
Down at Extra they made the usual
arrangements for an enthu-
static fourth, and fortunately did not
have as much rain as we did in this
part of the county. The attendance
was good and the program was carried
out just about as advertised. Attorney
Harry Il. Sampson of Des Moines en-
tertained the people for half an hour
in one of his pointed, characteristic
addresses both timely and appropriate
to the occasion.
Owing to the bad condition of the
roads, Chas. s, White did not 90 to
Kimballton where he was scheduled
for a speech; but some gentlemen who
happened to be present responded to
the calls of the people with brief and
patriotic speeches.

THE TARIFF SITUATION

AT the beginning of the extra session
the senate VISA badly divided IN the
tariff. This was true of the Democrats
as we'll as the Republicans. Senator
Aldrich is chairman of the finance
committee having the tariff bill in
charge. To pass a bill he must have
a working majority on the Republican
side. To get such q majority he must
make compromises to meet the wishes
Of senator's from different parts of the
country and representing different in
terests. This Mr.. Aldrich has done
and by doing so is preparing a list OF
schedules that will pass the senate. In
the language of the Inter Ocean:
"The Senate must send to the con-
ference between the two houses a tariff
bill with a majority organized behind
it. Otherwise there would be no organ
lied and responsible force in the Sen.
ate for the House to deal with In con-
ference and afterwards. There would
be no power to make concessions or to
guarantee that the concessions would
be approved after they had been made.
In a way, it is comparatively unim.
portant what schedules the Senate shall
send to the conference. The most i'm
portant point is that there shall be be-
hind the Senate bill a working MAORI
ty. This seems to be on the eve Of &C.
complishment.
Most signs at present agree that the
tariff will be thoroughly revised in the
House and Senate conferenoe-in fact,
so thoroughly that the final bill will
be very near the Payne schedules The
final bill will not be the Payne bill in
all details, but It'll likely to be brought
near enough to the Payne bill to re-
deem the promise of the Republican
party for q tariff revision downward.
The whole situation is as difficult TO
explain as to justify. Nevertheless it
is working toward a conclusion which
bids fair TO leave the Republican party
in the position of a faithful servant
and q true prophet"

WEDDING AT MARENGO
Eldest Daughter Of Hon D c Mott Marries
Oklahoma Gentleman

The following notice, taken from the
Marengo Republican, was written by
the father of the bride; and we are sure
it will be appreciated by the readers
of the Audubon Republican which he
published for many years.
Married, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. @. Mott, at
10 o'clock On June "a, 1909, Miss Ethel
Mott, OF Marengo, Iowa, and Mr..
Lloyd ID, Truitt, of Clinton, Oklahoma
Many times we have written just such
paragraphs as the above and followed
them, sometimes according to our
Judgment and sometimes at the sugges-
ton OF friends, with h~attering COM
ments concernlngthe beauty, brilliance
and popularity of the bride, the ster-
ling qualities of mind, heart and pock-
etbook OF the groom, the elegance OF
the supper, the number and value OF
the presents, and so forth. But today
this causual notice seems to take on an
Importance that is new and startling,
and Il thoughts have leaped back
ward nineteen years to the day we
watched the long, fringed eyelids lift,
and the wondering eyes of our baby
daughter first look into our own. We
thrill again with the JOY Of soft little
fingers in beard and hair. We hear
again the patter OF little feet as she flew
to meet daddy at the gate. We enter
again into the enthusiasm of her first
triumphs In music and in speaking.
We follow her slight figure Il ting
through the tleeting years of her girl.
hood, and see IL round into womanly
dignity and grace In our home. We
know all the value OF the helpful hands
and the pathos of the sweet voice which
has soothed and charmed many a dark
hour into brightness. And, strangely
enough, the things we want to say for
our W today, though there is no
frowning patron to demand IL and no
admiring friends to require IL Is Just
what We have said for others-that
never a fairer or a sweeter bride was
led to the altar by u manlier man than
this.
Though the night preceding and the
night followingthe wedding were fierce
with storm, Thursday was bright and
beautiful. The old home was made fes-
tive by skillful fingers and the use OF
quantities OF ferns and roses; and
when the guests were assembled In the
large library, the Methodist Trio-the

WILL SELL COLLEGE
Elk Horn Educational Institution
Burden on StOc kh0Iders

The stockholders of the Elk Horn
College held a special meeting last
Friday afternoon at the college chap
Ell. Several questions were discussed
at the meeting. The one of most i'm
portance was the selling Of the college.
1t was decided to sell 1t and to give
the Danish Lutheran congregation
the first chance to buy IL at the very
low price OF $4,000. This is a very
low price as the college is worth at
least 1925, 600. We do certainly hope
the congregation buys it as the loss to
this community would be great IL IL
should go into private hands. The
congregation will hold a special meet
ing July 3rd to decide whether to buy
it or not. -Kimballton Messenger.

MORE WORK FOR THE SHERIFFS

Under the Cosson law for enforce
ment the county attorneys and the
sheriffs will have something to do in
stead of sitting around in easy chairs
waiting for something to happen that
would furnish some legal papers to
serve. Heretofore IL has been the duty
OF these officials to prosecute all state
cases after private citizens had filed
the necessary information; now it be-
comes their duty to stand guard and
ferret out crime and makeit hot for peo-
pie who violate the law. In referring
to the matter the Carroll Sentinel says:
In Polk county Sheriff Ness has
placed his request for an automobile
to be furnished by the board of super
visors of that county. In his opinion
the sheriff will be responsible under
the Cosson law, for all crimes commit
ted in his county. 1t will be the duty
OF the sheriff to sleuth out all manner
of evil doings and to =" pinch " all
who monkey with the provisions Of
the new statute. Under these condi-
tions he says the horse and buggy is
too slow and that every sheriff in the
state should be equipped with a high
power automobile and that his depu.
ties should all be motormen. 1t will
be incumbent upon the sheriff to make
flying trips to the various parts OF his
county and by personal investigation
to know OF all ~infractions of the law.
He will not only be required to do
considerable detective and sleuth work
but should greatly increase the number
of his deputies that he may so enforce
the law as not to lay himself liable to
removal from Office.
The days OF ease and blissful mac
tivity for these minions of the law, in
this state, have taken unto themselves
wings and like riches have vanished
in thin air and from this on the wicked
will find all kinds of trouble and the
weary sheriffs will have no rest.

FOR RAILROAD EXTENSION
The Tax Proposition Carried in Atlantic
by Good Majority

Those in favor OF the tax for the A.
N. & s. Railway carried the PROPOSE
ton In Atlantic on Thursday OF last
week by a majority of Coz in a vote OF
1922. The number OF men voting was
9O2, and the number OF women, 620.
The women voted under the law giving
them that right when the proposition
to be decided is one for increasing the
tax levy. The voting OF this tax
means the extension OF the railway
south to Villisca which means much
for the farmers along the route; and
still more for the town OF Atlantic.
Not so much on account OF the railway
as other things which this progression
spirit brings to Atlantic. To defeat
that tax was n OF the things that
Atlantic couldn't afford to do, The
Daily News speaks OF the women's yot-
ing as follows:

WHO'S DISSATlSFlEDa

The Charles City Press is correct in
saying that the tariff revision down
ward sentiment in Iowa Is not the re-
suit of a popular uprising among the
people because of a burden or a feel
ing that tariff schedules were main
tanning unnatural prices IN commodi-
ties in any particular sense, but it is
the direct result of ~factional agitation
for political advantage which has
created a disposition among some to
stand for any issue If it would only
aid in advancing certain personal
ends. The rank and file of the people
are satisfied with their conditions, and
IL the question was put to the average
%insurgent as to what specific disorder
affected his political anatomy he would
have a difficult time In locating and
explaining it in any intelligent man
ner. Ii the issue a between the two
parties instead of being a factional one
there would be little or no division OF
sentiment on the tariff question among
Iowa republicans. Go upon the street,
drive into the country, or meet people
under any or all conditions, and in
troduce the subject of tariff revision
and you will soon be sidetracked in
admiration for the waving fields of
corn, the high price ofhogs, the value
of the American hen that is laying the
golden eggs, and the increased price
Of Iowa soil. The agitator Is having
a lonely time among the busy people,
and the statesmen at Washington are
viewed with unconcern.

the Cauld Blast in a way that
brought out every shadow of meaning
in perfect melody, Rev. Myers at the
piano. In the solemn hush which fol-
lowed Miss Mabel McKarahan, from
Grinnell, q school mate and friend of
the BRIDES girlhood, began to play
Grieg's Wedding March, and as its soft
strains tloated forth the bridal pair
appeared, preceded by Mildred Mott
arrayed In green, and Miss Winifred
Hartley, arrayed in pink, each carry
ing pink American Beauty roses. AS
they reached the broad arch between
parlor and library they separated and
the bride and groom passed between
them, the bride thus standing beside
her sister. Rev. Myers then stepped
forward and while the softest OF music
yet filled the ~Hilence, performed the
beautiful marriage ceremony OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, closing
with a touching and most eloquent
prayer.
After congratulations the guests fol-
lowed the bridal party to the dining
room where light refreshments we're
served. Mrs. II. M. Hayner oflciated
at the coffee urn, Miss McKarahan
dished the ice, Miss Vera Ingram, OF
Colfax, served the cake, and Miss
Winifred Hartley, Miss Hazel Ander-
son and Miss Mildred Mott waited
upon the guests. The brides cake
was a fine angel food, baked by Mrs.
Hayner, and the cutting OF this cake
by the bride was a pretty part of the
ceremony. Another happy association
was the fact that Miss Hartley Is the
daughter OF Hattie Pownall-Hartley
who served as bridesmaid for Mrs.
Mott twenty eight years ago.
After an hour OF social intercourse,
from behind q screen OF ferns In the
parlor Miss Mildred Mott dished the
cooling frappe and her cousin, Mr.. G.
G. Mott, OF Marion, served IL to the
departing guests.
