LETTER FROM MCCULLOUGH
Written From The Big City Of Chica-
go ON Lake Michigan

From an interesting private letter
from Harry l.. Mccullough who is en-
ployed in Chicago, we assume the priv
lege of quoting a few paragraphs which
we are sure will be of interest to his
many friends in Audubon. After telling
about his work in the big city he says:
81 received this weeks edition of the
Republican tonight and am glad TO note
that the advertising patronage which it
enjoys keeps its columns filled to over
flowing, making supplement necessary
each week. This fact alone shows what
thriving and prosperous city Audubon
has become; and'I cannot help but con
graduate your business men upon the
showing they make week after week in
the columns of the Audubon papers.
No town of twice its size can make q
better showing
II also note that the political pot has
begun to boil in Iowa and that the
standpatters and insurgents are busy in
every section proclaiming their fractional
virtues. But, to grand old lowa's credit,
let it be heralded far and wide that
there are no such legislative scandals
coming to the surface such as Illinois is
just now graphing with. The Lorimer
scandal is about the worst that has ever
come to any state in the Union; and as
the probe is inserted deeper and deeper,
the perfidy of the Illinois politicians be-
comes more humiliating to all lovers of
honor and clean politics. 1t seems that
there is no other course open to the peo-
pie than to amend the Constitution of
the United States and change its pro.
visions SO that United States Senators
shall hereafter be elected by the whole
people of each state and thus drive out
the barnacles and unworthy men who
now represent the states in the upper
house of congress. Money can buy some
of the votes, but there are many who
have the good of their state at heart and
who cannot be bought; and upon this
latter class lies the hope of perpetuity
of a republican form of government in
the United States. A climax is rapidly
approaching for honest government in
this nation or feudal control of the mass
es by corporate rule.
Il am also glad that you had pleasant
weather in your section on Memorial
Day and that the day was properly OBJ
served in Audubon. Here we had q
raw day, cloudy and cold most Of the
time The parade of the g. A. r.. posts,
the Fort Sheridan troops, the militia
and many civic societies was the feature
in the afternoon in this city In the
morning the graves in the cemeteries
were handsomely decorated by details
from the various posts, and some of the
churches held memorial services. Gen.
Fred d. Grant and Gov. Deneen led the
parade ana afterward reviewed the pro
cession, which was well worth witness
ing. Thousands of people lined Mich
gan Avenue to view the parade and had
the weather been pleasant it is doubtful
if the column could have made its way
through the streets

WHERE WERE THEIR MOTHERS,

If rumors are not incorrect it might
be well orsome fathers and mothers in
Audubon to read and heed the sugges-
tons in the following article taken from
the Marshalltown Times Republican
Under the caption above that paper says:
On the most prominent street corner
the other night three girls of ~ to Is
years old were grouped about q lumpish
boy II or 49, An observer noticed them
as he passed. The girls were crowded
up close giggling whispering and brid-
ling In silly fashion. Nearly an hour
after he came back to the same corner
to catch the last car. The group was
still there. As he waited he caught
snatches of low toned conversation. 1t
was mainly silly but thru it and under.
meath it ran a tone that was prophecy
of worse. The attitude of the youth to-
ward the girls lacked every element of
real respect. He felt that they were be
low the standard and showed it. 1t was
less his fault than theirs. They invited
that attitude.
Now those girls were not bad girls in
the strict sense; they were all too young
to be actually bad, but they were fools
and as directly on the way to disgrace
as tho the devil led them. There is only
one end to the path they are treading
But they are not bad yet. Only silly
little fools.
Where were their mothers?
The same evening OH another promi
nent corner girl of perhaps IA stood
very close to a young man in the shadow
of the building. They were whispering.
But their faces even in the shadow told
story and spoke prophecy. She was
another little fool who had gone farther
along the path toward the inevitable
goal.
Where was her mother?
From three dark stairways between
Center and First on that same evening
came subdued voices and the voices were
of the young, so young as to be childlike
More little fools farther ON the way.
Where were their mothers?
Where were the fathers and mothers
of these boys and girls2 We know where
the boys and girls were at 10 o'clock.
Later where they were God knows.
But where were their fathers and
mothers?

those dependent upon their earnings for
support. Yet many of them are negli
gent and fail to do their duty while they
are in active life and health. Every
member of the Woodmen should there
fore be a missionary and bring in others
to share in the work and benefits of the
order.
In closing his address DR.. Conybeare

finished their work and in whose mem
ory the services were being held. In
this way the living are given assurance
that when they are gone, those who are

TAFT TRluMpHs OVER RAILROADS

TwenJy-on of the leading railroads
united TO raise the freight charges on
their lines in the middle west. Under
direction of the President, Attorney
General Wickersham secured an injunc-
ton restraining the roads from carrying
out their concerted action. At a con-
ference with the President and his cabi-
net with committee of four of the rail
road presidents the roads agreed to drop
the matter until the new railroad bill
has been passed which will give the
commission authority to act. This is a
great tiunph for President Taft and
clearly shows that in spite of the venom
GUS criticism he is receiving from some
men elected by republican votes, he is
doing business at the White House for
| the good of the country.

THE RUSH is ON
First Batch of Luse Land Set
tiers Arrived on Monday
! Fine Class of Sturdy
Pioneer Settlers

In the first issue of the Scott
Herald we said that not little
of the progress, made by the
famous Tramping Lake District
was due to the efforts of the
Luse Land Company, who were
placing their fine lands withthe
very best settlers from the
States. These settlers are men
who have known pioneer work
in the northwest, who know the
conditions of the country and
know how to make good homes.
The new settlers which have
come to us this week, under
direction of the Luse Land and
Development Co., of St. Paul,
Minnesota, are certainly of that
stamp. And they are also well
provided with the goods of this
world, the wealth of 70 families
being estimated at ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
These settlers and their ef-
fects entrained at St. Paul,
starting out with 73 cars. They
are gathered from a wide area,
from Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan and Dakotas.
The land they will bring under
cultivation is situated in town
ships IS and SO, ranges 10 to
20, and no less than twenty
thousand acres will be taken
up by our new citizens. To
assist the work 8 complete en-
CINE blowing outfits were un-
loaded from the cars on Tues
day, in addition OPS head of
good horses.
Their arrival has made things
hum around town. Notwith-
standing the enormous amount
of machinery, i'm p e m e n t S.
stock etc., that was brought in
by these wealthy settlers, fully
as much or even more goods
will be purchased locally be-
fore they move out to their
!, lands. :
Although Scott is the market
town for the majority of the
newcomers, Coblenz, Lands,
Unity and Macklin will all be
benefited to some extent.
Everyone on board the spe.
cial train arrived in good spirits
feeling perfectly happy, having
been shown the usual Luse
Land hospitality through their
representa- yes in C h arg c
Messrs. F.. A. ST. John, c. A
Henderson and H. Hutchinson

with Canada having made from
one to two visits to us before

Automobile DESTROYED By Fire

On Saturday Henry Jacobsen bought
a second hand automobile of Harry
Northup and that evening he and Martin
Muck drove man to Templeton on his
way to Omaha. When about four miles
this side of Templeton on their return,
about eleven o'clock, the machine didn I
work well and they stopped to give it
attention. When Henry was i'm the seat
ready TO start and Martin still under
the car the latter lighted match to see
if it would go; but the gasoline caught
fire and all the boys could do was to
look on and see the car go up in smoke.

munity we extend a hearty
welcome to our new friends.
We hope to gather many more
like them in the happiest com
munity in Western Canada;
the place where peace and
prosperity are held out to all
who care to come and share in
the natural wealth which can
be produced on the farms of
the Tramping Lake district.
We also con G r at ulat the
Luse Land Company on bring
ing to our district such a fine
lot of settlers. We know, too,
that they will bring many more
-consignments like this one to
us. They have got the choicest
land in the heart of the fertile
belt, and they certainly have
winning methods of doing bust
ness. Their auto garage here
is equipped with IL splendid
cars, ready to take out their
first batch of homeseekers, who
will arrive in Scott about April
p. Their courteous ways of
doing business, added to a
thorough and competent know
ledge of selling lands, is doing
much to bring them to the front
as the most reputable land
company dealing in Canadian
lands.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
DIR. Fordyce of Guthrie Center Killed
On Sunday Afternoon

Dr. Brooks warm friend of DR.
Fordyce of Guthrie Center, was greatly
shocked Sunday afternoon to hear by
telephone message that he had been
killed by an accident while driving his
own automobile. According to reports
he and his wife were out together and u
broken chain caused the car to run
backwards down a steep hill turning
over at the bottom and pinning the doc
tor under the car. As his neck was
broken death was instantaneous. His
wife, who had jumped from the car was
not injured. DIR. Fordyce has been q
prominent physician at Guthrie Center
for many years. He leaves o wife and
one son who is freshman at Grinnell
College.
SOME OTHER ACCIDENTS
The Coon Rapids Enterprise says that
two men were showing another how to
run his new car While going 30 miles
an hour at night the driver lost control
of it and the car and occupants plunged
down twelve feet to the bottom of the
embankment. The car lost wheel and
the men were badly bruised The won
der is they escaped with their lives.
The Woodbine Twiner says that Mon
day, DIR. O'Connor had streak of bad
luck with his new auto. He and Mrs.
O'Connor were in the country and start
ed down hill in which was narrow
cut, barely room for one vehicle, and be
fore he realized it the machine was al
most in collision with team and buggy
driven by woman, coming up the hill.
The auto was on the low gear and the
brakes were set full on, but there was
no averting smash. One horse was 50
manned that it had to be shot The
auto was considerably damaged, front
wheel smashed, head lights broken, axle
sprung and perhaps other injury to the
car. Fortunately no one was injured.
