Candidate For Representative
To the Voters of Audubon County:

10 the Voters OF Audubon County:
After mature consideration and con-
sultation with many Republicans of the
county announce myself a candidate for
Representative, subject to the decision
of the Republican Primary. In making
my announcement | fully recognize the
prejudice apparently existing in this
county against third term. If you will
take time to look up the legislative
career of prominent and forceful mem
bers of the General Assembly in the past
history of Iowa, both Republican and
Democrat you will find many of them
served from four to eight terms in the
House and Senate, and some of them
six terms in the House. My past legis-
lative service is a matter of public record
and if satisfactory can assure you with
my experience 1 will he able to serve
you better in the future. | am very
much in favor of laws enforcing bett er
service on branch lines of railroad and
for the improving and lettering the
wagon roads of our state.

"Silent Bill" Had To Talk

Audubon has a peculiar character
known as Silent Bill. He is about
fifty years of age, gentlemanly in his
departments and a regular attendant
upon the Sunday morning service at the
Nj. E. church Some years ago he was a
guest at the County Home but more re-
Gently has been at the BOoton hotel
where he does chores for his board. But
he utterly refuses to talk. Just when
or why he closed his mouth, for what
purpose is not known. Current rumor
has it that the cause for such strange
action was the refusal of young lady
to respond in the affirmative to propos
al made by him long time ago The
other day Silent Bill was accosted by
John Horning the census enumerator
for the town of Audubon. Then it was
'Talkative John" versus Silent. Bill
and the latter won out in the first round
John asked him about his name, age,
color and nativity. Bill stared at him
and said not word. John reasoned
with him, pleaded with him and threat
ened him, but to no purpose. So when
all his arts of persuasion had failed, John
called in the Sheriff who kindly adj
monished Silent Bill that John had
the whole United States government
back of him and that unless he would
talk mn nronntly and answer the Oues-
tions it would be his own duty to land
him in Jail which he would do in short
order and keep him there untilhe learn
ed to talk. Though he hated awfully to
do it, "Silent Bill loosened up sufficient
to give the required information and
then lapsed into his former condition of
inactivity as to his tongue except to talk
to himself about the tyranny of the
system that runs things down at Wash
ington.

news from Audubon county. We re-
ceived letter today from the folks
back there saying it was q very dry

mead ditch We are busy setting fruit
trees here There have been 100, 900
fruit trees set off at liberia the last
two days. The peach and pear trees
are in full bloom and everything points
to a bumper crop. You think Iowa
land is high but we can beat it here. A
ten acre tract sold for $500 an acre last
fall This had five acres of bearing pear
trees on it and the rest was one year old
peaches. Raw land is selling from 1925
| to $500 an acre. | have out Is acres of
trees and am setting out two acres of
vineyard this spring, Alfalfa hay is $l5
per ton. Oats is 1925 hundred Eggs

LEGAL DECISIONS


Cruel and Unusual Punishment
In the case of State v Ross, 104 Pa
cifc Reporter, 500, it appeared that
defendant was convicted of larceny
of some s28S000 from funds of the
state, and a fine in double that
amount assessed in addition to five
year term in the penitentiary De
PENDANT was to stand committed till
the fine should be paid; thus making
a total Imprisonment of more than
100 years in case he had to work it
all out at the So per day allowed. In
terest seems to have not been i'm
posed, but it Is worthy of note that
if it had been, accused would not
only have been condemned to Ian
guish in the county jail through all
eternity. but would have needed the
daily allowance of a dozen fellow
prisoners to keep from plunging fur
Their toward hopeless insolvency for
all time to come. Fortunately, how
ever, the Oregon Supreme Court held
the punishment cruel and unusual"
Notwithstanding it was within the
maximum provided by statute.
