TARIFF DoEsN'rcoNrRoL. PRICES

Nothing could more clearly demon
strate the fact that the Tariff does not
control prices. Steel rails have Pro,
tectiye duty and are largely the product
of a single large corporation, but steel
rails We're one half point lower in 1908
than 1909 Anthracite coal is in the
hands of a large combination, but it is
upon the free list, and yet anthracite
has advanced 80 points since 1900, and
cotton seed oil, which is ON the free list
and not in the hands of any great cor
poration, has advanced - points. The
captain OF the Massachusetts training
ship Enterprise, which made u world
cruise last year purchased supplies ut
sixteen foreign aud domestic ports, and
'lfe reported that at eleven of these ports
the supplies cost more than they did in
the Boston market Articles ON which
the recent Tariff removed the duty, such
for instance rs hides, have advanced
largely since the law took effect, rs have
other articles, such as boots and shoes,
ON which the duty was greatly reduced.
1t can hardly he possible that the people
of the United States can he fooled ut the
coming election into choosing u demo
cratic House OF Representatives because
of sweeping falsehoods about the Tariff
and the cost of living. Prices and the
cost of living have advanced in every
great nation of the world, and have very
materially advanced in China and Japan
where Protective Tariffs cut no figure,
and also in the United Kingdom, which
is u FreeTrade nation. This demon
strares the reckless absurdity of the
charge that the Tariff has advanced
prices in the United States, American

VIII Take Life Easy

James Hunt, who has rented his big
farm out in Melville and had two big
sales this winter, and moved to town in
order to take life easy just as soon as he
gets that fine new house upon the ridge
completed. Mr.. Hunt has always been
a busy man and to let himself down
kind of easy like, he has brought with
him 6 horses, is head of cattle and 26
head of hogs just to have q few chores
to remind him of the happy days on the
farm. He will hardly be admitted this
year as an active member of the army
of unemployed who frequent the shady
side of Broadway lin the good old sum-
mer time"

valued. Being good Christian young
man Of clean habits, he made many
friends in the neighborhood and had
come to occupy large place in the es-
TEEN and affection of the Larson family
whose hospitable home was his privilege
to enjoy. Besides Mrs. Larson he has
three other relatives in America. Messrs
Axel and Frederick vickland and Jonas
Edmark. He had not seen this brother
since he was five years old and was
planning to visit him in few days.

SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER TERM

Hon. John F. Briggs, the state super
intendent of public instruction has clear
ly demonstrated that he possesses the
true elements of schoolmaster One
day last week while on his way to Sioux
City, drunken bully passed through
the coach striking the passengers and
terrifying them and the train crew alike.
But when he molested the dignified SUI
perintendent by knocking off his hat
breaking his glasses, there was some
thing doing in that coach that wasn't on
the regular schedule. For the moment
the scboolmaster triumphed and Mr..
Riggs gave that fellow q few side

from which he was dragged out of the
car and put under bonds to keep peace.
Riggs is entitled to another term.

THE GOOD ROADS
STATE CONVENTION


The Good Roads Convention at Des
Moines last week was 3 very popular
attraction, Judging by tho number Of
delegates in attendance. That the nee
esnity for good roads is being more and
more strongly impressed upon the minds
Of the people than ever before was shown
not only by the large attendance but by
the enthusiasm manifested by the dele
gates. The plan Of making one good
road from river to river through the
state stirred up the people along the pos
sible routes and caused much jealousy
among the rival delegates. West from
Des Moines the delegates from the towns
along the Rock Island put up hard
fight against those in favor Of the route
through Guthrie and Audubon. Extra
was down with large delegation of
r0oters and they are entitled to credit
tor being on hand to push for the inter
ests Of their town. Audubon had three
delegates who, after an Intellectual
attempt to do something for their town.
joined with Extra as against the lower
route along the Rock Island and turned
the scale in favor of the road through
this county by way Of Extra. The
speeches before the convention seemed
to haye it in for the township trustees
and road supervisors and gave them
some hard blows which they properly
resented and when opportunity offered
voted down the proposition in favor of
having q county road engineer. While
it is undoubtedly true that many of these
township officials have not done very
much it is true that many others have
done just as well as anybody could with
the amount of funds at their command
and with the experience they have had
will, do still better hereafter. If the
board of supervisors had authority to
employ an engineer for such times and
places as their work should be needed
it would probably be an advantage
worth the expense. The meeting was a
good one because of the agitation it has
started in favor of better roads. Cover
nor Carroll was commended in the fol-
lowing resolution:
That we extend to Governor Carroll
our most hearty thanks for calling the
present convention. We are grateful to

Victor Edmark OF Wichita A Victim
OF A Playful Colt

Last Saturday. March IL, 1910. sad
accident occurred at the home of Mr.. L.
r. Larson out near Wichita. For some
months past Mr.. Larson had in his en-
|ploy one of his own countrymen, a
young man from Sweden, Mr.. Ernest
Victor Edmark by name. The men had
just finished huslxing the corn. After
dinner Mr.. Larson told the young man
to turn out the colts. They were Meth
er wild nor vicious being in no way
considered dangerous. Shortly after the
young man left the house on this errand
Mr.. Larsen saw the colts running about
the yard and on going to see what was
the matter he found Mr.. Edmark lying
on his face dead his skull being crushed
and his jaw bone broken. Physicians
were summoned but of course nothing
could be done but determine the cause
of death and relieve the grief stricken
family as much as possible of the awful
sorrow. they experienced because of the
unexpected loss of their relative and
friend.
Considering Mr.. Edmark 8 history and
circumstances the event seemed the more
pitiable. He was born January 30, 1885,
at Westmerorland, Sweden. At the age
of five his mother died. He learned the
painters trade but as the years went by
some of his relatives had come to this
country and thinking he might better
his condition he left his native land and
came to America. After stopping at
Paynesville, Ohio. for two weeks visit
with his cousin, Axel Vickland, he came
ON to Iowa and made his home with
Mr.. L. r. Larson and family, Mrs.
Larson being a cousin of his mother.
Mr.. Larson employed him to help in the
work of the farm, though not a farmer
by occupation he was faithful in his
duties and his services were highly

appropriate adornment for the use in

that Woobbine had secured such build

they too have voted aid in its support,
