Glowing Tribute to Senator COss0n

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can staff correspondent at Des Moines
pays the following glowing tribute to
Senator George Cosson of Audubon:
Some of the older senators are begin
ming to feel little jealous of the sue
cess and agressiYeness of Senator
George Cosson, of Audubon, who with
the passage through the senate Satur-
day of the creamery competition bill,
has five big bills to his credit These
include the bill to provide way for
securing the removal of officials who
refuse to enforce the laws, a bill bet
ter defining the duties and response
bilities of county attorneys, bill to
require that sheriffs shall be in fact
law enforcing officers, and bill to
limit the time for taking appeals in
criminal cases to six months instead
of year. A mere statement of the
character of these bills shows they are
of great Importance.
His bill to revise the law as to the
Office of attorney-general has not yet
been passed by the senate. OF course
some of these bills may fail in the SEN
ate, but it is certain that no member
of either house has to his credit any
list of more important bills than these
Senator Cosson used to be tele-
graph operator in Perry and along
the line of the Milwaukee, and as such
commenced the study of law. He is a
young and persistent worker and has
had the enterprise 10 go right after
big things.

Death of James c, Wolfe

The death of James G. Wolfe who
lived in the south part of Audubon
takes away one of our old residents.
He was stricken with apoplexy on Sat
urday and fingered until Monday,
March first. Mr.. Wolfe was born in
the county of Kerry, Ireland. March
II, 1882, and emigrated to America
when IA years of age. After living at
Ottawa, Illinois, for some years he
came to Iowa, along about 1852, living
at Clinton. At the age of 20 he was
married to Miss Mary A. Byrne. To
them was born a large family but only
three of them are left. J. G. Wolfe
lives at Mason City, Agnes Wolfe
kept house for her father, and the ad-
dress of Morace Wolfe is unknown.
Ia 1873 Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe with their
growing family moved from Clinton
to Guthrie and Audubon counties to
make their home. They came into town
in 1890. Mrs. Wolfe passed away on
February 81, two years ago. The fu-
neral services were conducted from the
Catholic church, Father Macdonald
officiating. Some relatives from Car.
roll and other points we're in attend
ance.

Rural Mail Delivery

When the rural mail carrier passes
you on the road or puts the mail in
your mail box, did you every stop to
think what this branch of the postal
service represents? Here are few
facts that are given out by persons
who have taken the trouble to look the
matter up. The rural free delivery
service was established in 1896, and
the first year they cost the government
Sl4, 900, last year they cost $34 900, 000
In 1907 the last figures obtainable,
their were 69,2I6 mail carriers who
served 1S.000,00 people and in doing
so they travelled over 200, 900, 900 miles.
To this vast number of people they
delivered 1000, OOO,0 600 pieces of mail.
1t is safe to say that they now deliver
twice that amount of mail, as in the
local Office the mail delivered by the
rural carriers has nearly double in the
last years. These carriers are doing
great work, and they should be given
due credit for it.-Exchanges.

HON. RICHARD c. BARRETT
Professor of Civics in Iowa State College
Was Buried Last Saturday


In the death of Hon. r, C. Barrett,
Of the Iowa State College at Ames,
the editor of this paper loses one OF
his nearest and most valued friends,
and the educators of the state one Of
their most honored members. For
many years we lived In the same town,
worshipped in the same church. we're
members of the same official board,
belonged to the same political party,
planned political campaigns and won
political success. Though Mr.. Bar
rett was shrewd in planning, diplomat
ic in statement and discreet in action,
he was always upright, reliable and
honorable. He was trusted by his
friends and respected by his enemies.
Mr.. Barrett was anxious to be and do
something worthy of recognition, and
used the means at his command to the
best advantage to prepare himself for
his work. Though not profound in
scholarship he was especially tactful
and practical in the active duties of
tanned the friendship of all classes
with ease, although he never lowered
his dignity, nor marred his chsra cter
for such purpose.
Mr.. Barrett came to the Office OF
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton in the State of Iowa with the vigor
of youth and long term of actual,
practical contact with the district
schools which made him familiar with
their needs and the methods sue
cessful in meeting their wants. This
knowledge gave him a distinct advan-
tage in taking up his new duties and
added much strength to his suggestions
in favor of increased efficiency and
more practical work in the country
schools. Then he was an inveterate
worker, many times going beyond his
strength to carry out his plans and
meet his enga gements. He seldom had
a DAYS vacation. In summer time
while most other educators had time
for rest and leisure he was travelling
up and down the state meeting teach
ers and making addresses to them,
which was most laborious task.
| Professor Barrett was we'll recOg-
nized among the educational fraterni-
tv of the state. He was twelve years
superintendent of schools in Mitchell
county, president of the State Teach
er's Association, six years State SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction,
and four years professor of civics In
the Iowa State College at Ames, His
death at the age of so years is untimely
He should have lived and worked for
many years to come. But his work is
done, his record made. His work has
been we'll done and his record one OF
which the state and his friends have a
right to be proud. He was christian
gentleman ofthe highest character. To
the writer his Deaths great personal
loss. For six wears we we're ascot
ated in an official way, and for many
years more most intimate friends.
Mr.. Barrett leaves wife and daugh-
ter who will have the sympathy OF a
large circle OF friends throughout the
state.

A Big Bunch of Fool Women

According to the Des Moines news
papers twenty women called in a bunch
to see the negro murderer OF Clara
Rosen. They we're much disappointed
when they were turned away without a
glimpse at the brute that had killed,
robbed and outraged one of their sex
They were twenty fools together. just
twenty fools.
Other fools came to the jail to see
the murderer. Some of them brought
flowers and fruit to please the eyes and
pamper the appetite of the brute. These
last were fools-and worse than fools.
They shake faith in their sex among
the thoughtless, who do not stop to
think that in population OF nearly
100, 900 there must be many fools, ana
that compared to the number of WON
en- In Des Moines the proportion is not
excessive.
There is no other explanation Of the
action of these women. They were not
stirred by womanly impulse, for true
women defend womanhood with life,
and punish its violation savagely. 1t
was no impulse OF womanly pity that
brought them to the jail with flowers,
but a lack of womanhood. Just why
they came, what impulse sent them, 1T
would be hard to- analyze. The most
charitable conclusion that can be ar
rived at would be TO assume that they
lacked ordinary sense and intelligence
and let it go at that-Marshalltown

HON. j. w. BLYTHE
Noted Railroad Attorney and Politician
of Iowa Has Sudden Death

Mr.. Blythe died very suddenly Sat
urday morning while making prepara-
ration for hunting trip with some
friends ne ar Wapello. He had been
very rugged man but was attacked
with heart disease and was carried Off
with but little warning. Mr.. Blythe
was born in the east and was the son
of Presbyterian minister. Early in
the seventies he came west and became
associated with the legal department
of the Burlington railway. For many
years he has been the general attor-
ney. He was drawn into politics be-
cause he was the son. in-law of Senator
Gear, and welded great power because
of his large acquaintance. During the
political fight against corporations
one faction in Iowa used Mr.. Blythe
as the great bogey-man whowas ready
to do direful things against the people
unless his power was crushed. He was
a strong virile man and had many
friends even among those who fought
him politically.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION
Charles Bagley and Geo II Buck are the
Winners in the contest

II is frequently the case that school
elections go by default and any ticket
presented will be chosen. But such
was not the case on Monday. There
were two good tickets and quite a little
scrap, resulting in very small MAORI
ties for the winners. Whether there
was any definite issue we do not know,
but suppose it was just desire on the
part of large number of citizens TO
see that good men we're elected. The
names of Messrs Chas. Bagley and
Geo. II. Buck were together on one
ticket and those Of Messrs S. M, Gard
ner and Geo. N. Weighton on the
other. Mr.. Bagley had ia votes; Mr..
Buck, l07; Mr.. Gardner, l0l and DR..
Weightou, 30. The ticket selected and
the one defeated as we'll, was composs
ed of two representative men and we
believe they will carefully look after
the interests of the school.

BUSINESS BETTER THAN EVER
Says Hon John A Nash OF the Firm of
Nash & Phelps OF Audubon

In reply to n question Ito business,
Hon. John A. Nash said the other day
that II Is better than ever; that they
never had so much To do as they have
this spring, Referring to the loaning
OF money, he spoke Of the times when
the rate was as high as SO per cent; and
how when 1t came down to 20 per cent
and per cent commission for getting
the loan, IL was thought that money
was becoming comparatively cheap.
Many OF the wealthy farmers OF the
county now used to make loans OF Mr..
Nash and pay very high rates because
the money could not be secured any
cheaper. In discussing the matter he
further said: when money got down
to 10 per cent, man with ten thousand
dollars would receive u thousand
year interest. With that money he
could purchase what he needed from
the farmers at very low prices. Now
TO get o thousand dollars year inter.
est, q man must have twenty thousand
dollars to loan. With that money
now he must pay the farmers three or
four times as much for their products
This simply shows that man depend
ing upon the interest OF his money for
living must have at least four times
as much as he did In those former
days when prices we're low and interest
10 per cent. Moreover while you may
not believe 1t, can prove that farm
or can buy Audubon county land to-
day at 500 per acre and pay for it In
half the time that he could pay for
new land In the early days at SO per
acre, Years ago we supposed that by
this time the loan business would be
OF little account. But instead OF grow
less IL has been constantly on the in
crease. And this condition indicates
increasing prosperity because the
younger men are buying homes Of their
own and giving heavy mortgages
while they go ahead and make the
money TO pay them up. Otherwise
they could not buy farms at all, but
would have to continue TO rent. Yes
the farm mortgage so much decried by
some people years ago, has been the
means OF giving many people an OPP
portunity to get home and pay for
IL; and many of our rich farmers to-
day owe their success to the mortgage
even though they did have to. pay a
high rate for the money"
