The Parents Meeting

Under the direction of Mrs. +. s.
Watts meeting for the parents was
held in the High School building Mon
day evening for the purpose of discuss
ing the subject of reading Following
an instrumental duet by Misses Theo
Vedder and Julia Preston, Superihten-
dent Smith made Il very interesting
address ON Reading in the Grade"
comparing old-time methods with the
modern and better methods used at the
present time on which his talk showed
him to be thoroughly posted Principal
.JOhansen then read an excellent paper
on ''Rending in the High School" out
lining and discussing the plans they are
followingin an admirable way. They
were followed by Miss Glass who talked
upon the benefits of reading outside of
the school and Mr.. Farquhar upon read
ing in the home. A number of gentle
men took part in geneIal discussion of
reading, its connection with the library
and the possibility of securing Carne-
gle library for the town of Audubon.
Light refreshments were served and Il
half hour was spentin social enjoyment.
The program was well prepared and
the evening was pleasantly and profit
AMY spent
Before. leaving this brief report we
desire to call attention to the fact that
one great need in all our schools, and es-
pecially so in the rural districts, is more
books for the children to read. In other
words a supply of supplementary read
ing. To confine pupil to a single book
for two or three terms is TO make the
reading tedious and many times dis,
tasteful to some pupils. Bright pupils
will not be satisfieu to read or study one
or two lessons day but will read ahead
and in n week or month will have read
the entire book. Some teachers appre,
ciate the necessity for more extensive
reading and in number of cases they
are spending their own money to increase
the supply of reading matter for the
pupils of their schools. This is an i'm,
portant matter and one that should be
considered and acted upon by the board
of directors.

THE LITTLEFIELD LAW

After January /, 1910, which will
soon be here, the G. O. d. business of
the whiskey peddler will be at an end
in the state of Iowa At that time what
is known as the Littlefeld law passed
by the last Congress will take effect and
prohibit the taking of orders for intoxi-
eating liquors to be paid for when the
goods are delivered. Hepburn and Dol
liver of Iowa had urged the passage of
such law for several years but did not
succeed Littlefeld of Maine then in
troduced similar bill and succeeded in
having it enacted into law in the face
of powerful opposition made by the
liquor dealers of the country The law
is a good one and i'll harmony with the
liquor laws on the statute books of our
state. Among the requirements are that
booze must be labeled correctly and the
penalty is severe for shipping to ficti-
tious address No railway, express COM
pany, or other common carrier can col
lect any part of the purchase price of
liquor, and will surely stop the c. o. d.
business in intoxicating liquors in this
state With this new law and the others
already in operation in Iowa there will
be little opportunity for anyone to carry
on an illegitimate trade in the sale of
liquor. And anyone who persists in
violating the laws in this regard should
be given the limit without fear or favor.

FOR POLITICAL REVENGE

John Snure, the Washington, d. c.,
correspondent, almost has Attorney Gen
eral Byers nominated for congressman
from the 9th district of Iowa. Should
Mr.. Byers attempt to defeat Judge

will be a hot old fight on in the ninth
district and the bad blood of the warning
factions, for Mr. Smith will be hard to
pry loose from his vantage grounds, may
result ina split that will be the means
of sending democrat representative to

the political enemies of Judge Smith

given any weight. Casey indicator.
Well, now has it come to pass that

wouldn't make any such claim, and the

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The Presidents first annual message
to Congress, which had been looked for
with much interest, was given in full
in our last issue The country had ex
pected an important document and has
not been disappointed, He says the
most important question for this admin
istration is Economy of expenditures
and sutficiency of revenue, and under
his direction the secretaries of the diff
ferent departments have scaled down
the expenditure more than fifty millions
which it is hoped will avoid a deficit the
coming year.
One of the best writers in Iowa says:
1T is in the Taft manner and style,
chaste, scholarly and judicial in express
sion. Its brevity and clearness seems
remarkable. He touches essential mat
ters with MASTER hand and avoids all
unnecessary elaboration. He has not
overwhelmed congress and the country
with food of legislative matters and
suggestions He has carefully measured
the ability of Legislators and the gener-
atty of the people to read, digest and
assimilate the matters presented. 1t
will be read by thoughtful people gen
orally. He reserves some matters, as
the Panama canal, interstate commerce
and few others for special messages at
appropriate times. That plan shows
wisdom and common sense He will
then secure timely attention. Every
thing is beautiful in its season. He ur.
ges many important measures, as shiI
subsidy and especially for the Pacific
coast and the South American trade, in
creased postage on miscellaneous maya
zine matter and declares the loss in thai
direction to be $63, 600, 600 and that tn,
government must substitute the posta
service to that extent. He decidedly fay
ors some plan for expediting fedora
court procedure and approves the re
cent tariff bill and hints that there should
be no talk of tariff reform for man,
years. He declares that nothing halt
business and interferes with the cours
of prosperity so much as the threatened
revision of the tariff. He fayors re
trenchment along all lines and state
that prosperity is now with us and shoul'
be encouraged TO remain.
