ENFORCING THE LAW

Alto rney General Byers has made
his annual report to Governor Garst.
1t is a comprehensive and virile docu'
ment. Besides the routine matters, he
discussed with clearness and power
the question of enforcing the law--es.
pecially the one relating to intoxica.
Ting liquors. To do this effectively
the Department. of justice for this state
should be re-organized around the at
torney generals Office as a center, en-
larging his powers and making 1t his
duty to see that county attorneys en-
force the laws; and if they do not tina:
he shall have the power OF suspension
and removal. His idea is to include
the oil inspectors and the pure food
inspectors as part of the law enforc-
ing machinery. And he asks for such
increase in the funds of his office as
will enable him 10 employ the best OF
help to assist in performing the added
duties Of the Office. His ideas and sug.
gestions will be presented to the COM
ing general assembly in the form of a
bill that will be worthy OF careful con-
sideration. General Byers has shown
that good work can be done by his
Office His hands should be strength
ened by improving the law so as to
increase his power and the funds OF
the Office sufficient to prosecute the
work with vigor and success.

SWAMPHD WITH WORK

Some people have notion that to
get bill passed by congress is very
easy matter, and II they were down
there it wouldn't be long until Audu-
bon would have federal building and
electric lights for breakfast every
morning. But our member says they
are swamped with work. In an address
down at Adair he said that he Is often
asked why certain bills are not put
through congress. He answers by
stating that at the last session OF con-
gress there were $1,000 bills pending.
Each covered from ! TO 457 printed
pages. 1t would require congress
man an entire ression to read them,
So they are shifted to committees and
the most meritorious are reported out.
And at the last session there were
from 5000 to 5000 private laws enact
ed and from three to five public laws
put through each day OF the session.

ACHIEVING SUCCESS

According TO the standard OF the
world mans success in this life is
gagged by what he possesses either OF
property or position. But it is writ
ten in the divine precept that "A
mans life consistent not in the abun.
bance of the things that he possesseth. !"
And his success should be measured
rather by the spirit, the purpose and
the character OF the individual. In
writing OF success, Mrs. Stanley puts

The revival meetings at the Metho-

Lothian, OF the Northwest Iowa Con-
ference, preached and took charge OF
the meetings. In the evening accord
ing to previous arrangements an adj
dress was delivered by Mr.. Harry Il.
Sampson, of Des Moines, upon Chris
tianity, the Promoter of Civilization. ,,

Viola where they lived many years.
He Is now q successful attorney down

thought was that civilization has adj

the principles laid down by Jesus
Christ have been applied TO practical
life. Further that some of His prin-
clples have not yet been generally APP
piled by the human race. Mr.. Samp-
son Is deliberate and pleasing in his

A ROAST BY ROOSEVELT

When President Roosevelt prepared
his annual message to congress he
made strong objection to the action OF
the last session in cutting down the APP
preparation for the seclet service OF
the executive department OF the gov.
eminent. Some of the members were
greatly incensed at what they we're
pleased to call insinuations that they
we're not honest and therefore afraid
of the work Of the secret service and
the appropriation was cut down for
that reason.
The president has sent in a special
message discussing this matter more
thoroughly and lays the blame par
ticularly on Judge Smith OF this dis
trict, Representative Tawney OF Min.
nesota and two or three other MEM
bers OF the appropriations committee.
He quotes from the speeches OF these
gentlemen made at the time the bill
was under consideration and says
they were the champions in the house.
He also refers to the fact that in the
senate, where Senator Allison was at
the head Of the committee, the bill was
first passed without cutting the appro-
priation; but it was done later by a
conference committee.
Judge Smith says he will answer on
the floor of the house when the ques-
tion Is before 1t. There is nothing to
the whole thing except that the appro-
priations committee exercised the right
to determine what amount should be
set aside for that particular purpose
and the fact that 1t was cut down was
no indication they we're dishonest or
afraid of the action Of the secret serv-
ice department.

concerning.a new advertising contract
for another Chautauqua to be given
in Audubon sometime during the sea-

the best in every respect they have
ever offered. This will be good news
