Attention, Land Purchasers

Will you need money to pay for the
land youbought?
If so NOW is the time to arrange for it!
The enormous sale of land all over
Iowa and the high price paid means a
greater demand for money next spring
than has ever been known before. This
also means close money market and
possibly higher rates of interest. The
wise man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment We have large
fund that we can rely upon and are tax
| ing applications daily for March list,
next. In the 81 years we have been loan
! ing money in Audubon and adjoining
counties we have never disappointed a
patron. Come in NOW and make your
arrangements and your money will be
ready for you when wanted. We loan
on both first and second mortgages and
will do as we have always done in the
past, make larger loans on better terms
than any one else can possibly do. We
| will be glad to see you and give you
terms. NASH u PHELPS,

There is no need to misiead the people about the result or the recent election. The Birmingham Ledger deliberately says 1t thinks majority or the Democrats favored the amend ment.. The vote cast for the amend ment was ls,ess and against 1t 7s.- 272, majority against of 27.las. Just where The Ledger finds any ground in view of these figures to place majority of Democratic votes. for the amendment. we fail to see. The chair man of the Republican staae Commit tee was an ardent supporter of the amendment. The United States atfor- ney for the Northern District. and a stasnch Repubiican. was one of the supporters of and spsansrs Tor the amendment There were msny other prominent and influential Republicans. ifke AGs. Bowron of Birmingham. who were strong for the amendment. It Is useless, therefore. for The Ledger to attempt to place the solid Republican vote in the anti-coiumn. Republicans like Democrats. divided on the ques- tion. Both sides were glad to have shesr support because while 1t was purely political. 1t was not party question.

FAITHFUL VISITORS.
aReguIarH'' in Congress Galleries Ds
 Not Mind Monotony.

"ReguIars" in Congress- Galleries Do
 Not Mind MonotOny.
 Except on special occasions. the men and women who sit in the visitors galleries in the House and Senate, lis- tening patiently to the long debates. are the t.reguIars," says The Wash ington Post. Casual visitors to Wash ington usually do not stay long In tho galleries unless something very excit- ing. like an outburst from Tillman or Bailey catches their attention. But the "regulars'' are very patient. They do not care whether the speakers are de- voting themselves to tireless statistics on the cost of the last census or to the nifty little changes in the Penal Code. No matter what Is going on and no matter how dull 1t may be. they arc interested.
 The cause of this unfiagging inter- est is probably due to 8 variant of ths instinct that makes some young men and women long for 8 stage career. Just as these young people cluster about the stage door. Sso the regulars" brood over Congress. Just as the reg ularb" who are in constant attendance at murder trials-and this is a we'll known species--take sides with either the prosecuting or defending attorney so the regulars at Congress take sides with the statesmen who engage in debates. even though they may not know exactly what the debate Is about
 Women as well as men are among the ''regularsH at Congress. Many or the women formerly worked in the depart ments, and take real interest In puo- lie affairs It might be thought that they would grow tired of the monot- ony of daily attendance. but they seem on the contrary. to relish the game more and more each day.

imaIs every day. If our records are not perfect we wlll have to ascribe the blame to the grizzlies.H
 This was the way J. M. Bates of Ottawa. summed up the exciting features of his sea- sons work in connection with the deltmita- tion of the Alaska boundary along the Iskoot river, tributary of the Stikine. He was in charge of party of eight men. MT Bates has had many adventures in the North since he first began the delimitation of the from tier. Two years ago he wounded grizzly. and in a dash for safety rolled down a glacier with the animal at his heels. Mir. Bates escaped but the bear was dashed to death Mir. Bates added:
 "J. Sullivan Cochrane noted Boston naturalist and big game hunter. had Q lively experiences near our camp this summer. He was seeking to photograph Erizziies in their native wilds. One day he snapped his came ra on a huge bear. when the animal chsxE~ ed vicicusiy. One of It's paws hurled the kodak into ravine. while the other cuffed the intruder. Just then his guide fired, but not a moment too soens Three shots did 4he guide pump into the Erizzly. which stagger- ed about, made e plunge ct the guide whose last cartridge was exhausted. MT Cochrane. although armed only with . revolver. then rushed to the resuce and dispatched the bear. He told me that he had completed bis course in natures studies.

The Jew as . Farmer.

Leslie's Weekly.
 We have heard much of the Jew as A banker, as a money changer. as an executive of corporate interests. We have heard of him. and universally. ae n,erchaut--a successful one. Every profession, every trade. knows him. But always, it has seemed his name has been linke inseparably with the word money" with the word charter" He has been known as the non-nroducer, the middleman whose keen insight into the aovantages of commerce has changed everything 70 gold beneath his Midas touch Now he is becoming the producer.
 The convention and fair which the Federation of Jewish Farmers held re- gently in New York. at the Educa- tlonak Alliance, demonstrated that the Jevvss entrance into the agricultural fieid has been marked by signal suc- cess. Ten years ago there were per- haps fewer than q hundred Jewish farmers scattered across the country. They possessed no more than the bare rations of subsistence, living each day from hand to mouth. and trusting to the good graces of fortune for their continued support rather than to their own knowledge of the ruies of farm ing. Todny there are more than 5000 of them in the United States alone The European figures run Into tens oi thousands. Each year this number in creases.

 It is historically true as The World recently said. that no Mayor of New York ever became President of the United States, and only one Mayor of New York ever received electoral votes for the Presidency. But prece- dents prove little. Until Theodore Rooseyelt's. day no accidental Presi- hated and elected to that office in his own right Mir. Roosevelt showed that there were no insurmountable obsta
 eles, either, between the City Hall and the White House. The World Is not predicting that Judge Gaynor will be the Democratie candidate for PEesi., dent In 1912. It is not predicting that he would be elected if he were nomin- ated. It is making no attempt to dis- count the future or to be wiser than events. 1T is merely discussing Judge Gaynor's opportunity to make himself great leader and great force in State and National affairs. Suppose Murphy and the corrupt crew that has dominated Tammany Hall for many vears-suppose he makes the local Democratic organization respectable by helping the best element get to the top-suppose he roots out the enor- nous. venality. jobbery and waste of town the kind of administration that always appeals to the Imagination of the American people--is anybody un- certain as to who would be the real leader of the Democratic Party in New York? Can there be any ques- tion that such an adminlstration fin this Slater Is there much doubt as to who would be the choice of the rank and file of the New York De- mocracy for President in 1912?

 Washington Special. !
 Special messages which President Taft has promised to send to Congress on the amendments to the Interstate Commerce. Commission act the situa- ton in Nicaragua and conservation of resources will wait until after the hol- fdays. The President has fallen into the mood of Congress to do little work before the new year begins When Congress reassembles on Jan. or 4, he is likely to have something to ask of it.
 That the President Is willing to ac- cept the suggestion of the leaders of the Senate and House is taken as an- other indication that they are working in accord. Before he agreed to the suggestion that the real work of the session begin with 1910 he was as- sured that when 1t did begin 1t would go forward with fairly even tread. If any fight Is made by Republicans against the administration measures during the session 1t is very likely to come from the ranks of the "insur- gents"
 It was learned today that the Presi- dent has slightly modified his railroad program. that it may be in some direc- tions not quite so drastic. While pre- serving its features, he has been able to eliminate or soften 1t in directions which will make 1t less radical. This has placed behind 1t the tacit support of some of the railroads wiien might have raised serious obstacles.
 Such changes as have been made by the President are in the main pleasing to the supporters Of the admin Istration in the House and are likely to u1 alxe any fight that may come less bitter. It is not, however, assumed that the amend ments to present railroad legislation will be without opposition. It Is the present expectation that Congress will adjourn next week to return early in Ia m. a r.xrl For raal svor1r

The Hartford courant says:

Secretary Dickinson knows how to deal with the bad trusts. He has is- sued an order forbidding officers and employees of the war department from purchasing oil from the Standard oil Company or any of its subsidiary con cerns.
 We are somewhat curious to know how such orders can be enforced or obeyed with anything approaching to certainty. The staneard has branches all over the country. and how can an empioye of the department always know. when he or his family buys oil. whether or not 1t is bought from a subsidiary concern" of that corpora tion2 It may be possible to enforce such an order.s but we have our doubts.

soUrHERNERs IN NEW YORK.

The organization known as the Southern Society of New York held one of its big dinings a few nights ago, as Is the custom of its members Among other items of interesting in- formation brought out during the af- fair was the statement that there are fully 100000 men of Southern birth now residing in that great city. No doubt this statement will come as a surprise to most people. All who know or read anything of New York are aware that 1t contains a large per cent. of Southerners. It is in many respects a thoroughly cosmo- politan city, and in addItion. 1t is a place of wonderful opportunities for those who know how to profit by them. It has drawn into its citizen- ship and amalgamated vast numbers of Southerners, but few would have supposed the number to be as large as indicated in the above statement. And this mingling of North and South in the great metropolis causes The New York times to moralize thus:
 The interests of North and South are identical. Commercially, intellec- tSaliy .i morally their their people ts have the Heals. It would be a blessing If the historians would drop the Civil War for while. and the disputes between oRsr saS Se enas1 sna @eaSng tof phrases that have lost their meaning could cease. A Southern newspaper has lately been resenting the use of ton of bondage" and New Englano newspaper has been procIalming it's accuracy. Let it pass. There is no more bondage. and North and South are working in unison for the same cause.-the good of the whole coun- try.
 These ruminations of The Times are all very appropriate and timely. even if conditions may not in all respects be as rosy as it paints them. Upon that subject. and upon the comments of The Times, Tho New Haven Reg ister says
 It wasn't much to say. but there is a great deal of meaning Tn it. There Is more, when one considers the source from which 1t comes. It is so characteristically Northern to take things for granted. It is true that the interests of the North and the South are identical: that the old line se division has practically been eras- cd; that the people have the same North and South are working for the same cause.-the good of the whole country" But does the North we feel that way about 1t? There Is here and there an outcroppIng of the old sectional dispute, but 1t gets iit- tie support. The feeling of the North knows, fair and friendly t0- the South. But much of the good effect of the

 Sometimes those who profess to be talking in favor of temperance depart quite long way from the spirit of the subject they profess to be dis cussing. As an example. take the following as part of tho report of a recent speech on the subject of tenn perance by ex-Govsrnor Glenn. of North Carolina:
 If I were the Governor of Tennes- see. if I were Mayor of Memphis or sheriff of Shelby county. I would see was respected or would put a gun in the hands of each worthy citizen and tell him to shoot and shoot un- til that respect was felt by every one"
 How is that for real sure enough temperance? Is 1t not virtual en- dorsement of murder and anarchy7 Is oyer indulgence in strong drink a more hurtful form of intemperance than is such language from pronfi- nent man? There is an old maxim to the effect that the man who demands justice should be prepared to render justice; so we hold that the man who breaches temperance should practice it, not only in his acts but in his speech. It is all very easy for Mir. Glenn to say what he would do if he were placed in one of the positions he alludes to, but saying and doing are quite different propositions. He probably would not do or attempt to do what he says, and if he should try 1t his official career would hardly be of long duration.

One account of the recent railroad disaster near Erie, Pa, says that a fast train of the New York Central was rushing through the night at a speed of sixty-two miles an hour when it ran into the rear end of a passenger train. Six were reported dead according to latest accounts and sixty others injured. Was that what could be called "an unavoidable disas- ter?" Are not those who were re- sponsibie for driving a train at such speed in the darkness also responsible for the killed and injured?

Whenever We have a foggy, damp day in Montgomery. and note the dis agreeable features of such weather we are always inclined to wonder how people in London can exist, if the fogs there are as dense and as common as they are said to be. II IS bad enough not to be able to see clearly across the street, but there are times in Lon- don. when one can see absolutely nothing that is going on or passing.

 Present indications are that Dothan Is soon to have a S1go000 yarn and hosiery mill A factory which VIII make the raw material up into the finished product. the market for which has already been established.
 Secretary Bisgers of the Commercial Club has succeeded in interesting about all ths capitafA that is desired and unless some url- foreseen thing happens. the project is ai- most beyond Q doubt an assured success.
 No definite information is as yet ready for print, but unless there is some trouble in what is now regarded as minor details the thing is Q go. and one of Dothan's most valuable acquisitions.
 The mill will employ something like two hundred lahorers, about seventy-five of whom are to be women and children. and will have a pay roll that will turn more money loose in Dothan than perhaps all the other enterprises combined.
 With this and other Improvements that are scheduled for Dothan the coming year, 1t is beyond doubt the dawning of one of the most important years in the history of the Queen City of the Wiregrass.
