A New Statue For Church:

Father Mcdonald received Friday Of
last week from Des Moines fine new
statue of the patron saint of his church
st. Patrick, which was donated by the
following parishioners: Mrs. Gene Clark
ard family. Jas. l.. and Mrs. Clark,
Anthony Ruddy and family. Mrs. Van
Osdel. Mrs. w. ]. Laubender, Geo. A.
Campbell, Mrs. Molly Shallow, Thos.
B. Kerwin and Amiel Walsh. The pastor
presented the PEDESTAL upon which the
statue stands. The statue is fine figure
in that it has glass eyes and looks life
like, while most statues have no
eyes. The crown and staff is plated
gold and in one hand it holds a three
leaf clover an emblem of the Blessed
Trinity; it is also gold plated. It was
blessed by Father Mcdonald after mas.
Many people are of the opinion that st.
Patrick was born in-Ireland but this Ia
not so as he was born in France and
went to Ireland when about sixteen
years OF age. he is recognized as one
of the NEST sanity men in the Catholic
faith. The church furniture is all very
beautiful and fit for the new church the
st. Patrick congregation intends build
ing before very long. A plea was made
from the altar by the pastor last Sunday
for new church.

ATTORNEY GEN. C0SS0N
ADVISES GOV. CARROLL
That Under The Present Laws The
Ninth District Must Nominate
By Caucus And Convention

Sipce the resignation of Walter /.
Smith as member Of Congress from
the ninth district the question has been
how to nominate a candidate for his
successor. In such a case the law pro.
vides that the governor shall call a
special election at such time as he may
determine after the vacancy occurs.
Judge Smiths resignation took effect
yesterday and we are credibly informed
that Governor Carroll has it in mind
to call an election about the first Satur-
day in June. In the meantime it will
be necessary for the two parties to
nominate candidates for the position.
The primary law says in these few
but definite words this act shall not
apply to special elections to fill vacan-
cies. I" On Friday of last week Cover
nor Carroll submitted the question as
to how TO nominate to Attorney General
Cosson for an opinion, which he render
ed Saturday to the effect that because
Of the provision quoted above it will be
necessary to go back to the old method
of the caucus and convention. After
the proclamation is issued by the gov
ernor calling the election, the Congress
sional Committee will issue call for
the district Convention and the chair
man in each county will call county
convention of delegates to be selected by
caucus in each precinct. But this may
yet be changed by legislation at Des
Moines. A bill has been introduced to
repeal the section forbidding the pri-
mary to fill vacancies at special elections
and this may be done. In that case
the attorney general would probably
hold that the County chairman could
call together the delegates elected to
the County conventions in 1910 and let
them select delegates to the district
Convention. There is another POSSIBLE
ity of change that may be caused by
legislation at Des Moines. If the dead
lock continues at Des Moines on the
election of senator, an effort will be
made the last week to refer the matter
to the people at special primary cleo
ton. If that should be done, the selec-
ton Of candidate for congress in this
district may be included in the same
bill and held at the same time.
1t doesn't matter so much how the
candidate for the republican party shall
be chosen; but it is Of great importance
that the best man shall be nominated.
Thus far only two candidates have been
formally announced. E. S. White of
Harlan and Judge Green of Audubon.
We do not know Mr.. White but hear
him spoken of as a man of high character
and more than ordinary ability OF
Judge Green's ability and character we
have already spoken and only empha-
sized what is so well known throughout
the district.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
As Viewed From The Standpoint OF
The Progressive Nonpariel.

President Taft has earned the lasting
gratitude OF his fellowmen in refusing
to be bluffed out of his proposal to call
an extra session of congress. In many
ways the occasion warrants the action.
First and foremost is the merits of
the proposition with which congress is
convened to deal-Canadian reciprocity
This agreement, If it shall be made law,
amounts to a commercial annexation.
This result will be inevitable. Through
out the whole central west there are
thousands of families seeking homes in
Canada. There is just as much reason
for Iowa maintaining tariff against
Minnesota as there is for maintaining
it against Canada. These families, born
and reared in the states, will never for
get their old homes. They will con-
tinue to do business with the people
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-03-16

they know. Made in Iowa" or grown
in Iowa" are phrases that will sell goods
to the natives of the state in any part
of the world they may wander. The
only contingency which will make these
people seeking homes in Canada real
foreigners is a tariff wall which forces
them to buy and sell exclusively in
Canadian markets. To avoid this dis
agreeable situation President Taft is
justified in calling an extra session of
congress as jefferson was justified in
taking the necessary measures to secure
Louisiana.
Another feature of the situation is
that of the political coloring of con-
gress. A notion prevails, to some ex-
tent in both dominant political parties,
that the only way to accomplish any
legislation is through the instrument
talities of the respective parties. This
is sort of Pharisaical notion akin to
that which questioned: Can any good
thing come out of NAZARETH" Presi-

Rev. Pond s Fine Lecture.

We had looked forward to hearing the
lecture ON Australia at the Christian
church by Rev p. J. Pond with plea
SAINT anticipation, but when the time
came business had called us out of town
and we missed the lecture. Good judges
tell us it was one OF the most instructive
and entertaining they have heard in
Audubon for a long time and an effort
to have it repeated has been suggested.
His lecture treats of the country. the
people, the schools and the govern
ment. We regret that our absence pre-
vents our giving an extended account.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-03-16

dent Taft is putting this question up to
a congress in which a majority belong
to the opposite party. He is not putting
it up to any faction or TO any party,
however; he is putting It up to congress
as representing the whole people. This
will prove blessing to the whole peo-
pie if it shall result in breaking down
the absurd political distinctions that
have been so often used in the past to
defeat good measures.
Still another feature of the reciproc-
ity problem is that of its proper consi-
Iteration. The real objection to the
measure was lack of proper time for
consideration. The principle involved
in the agreement is perfectly sound but
the text can and doubtless will be
amended and improved. The Iowa dele
cation objected TO the agreement for
valid reasons and there is not much
doubt but that their objections viii re
suit in desirable amendments. -Nonpa-

Election OF School Directors.

The school election occurred last Mon
day afternoon. But one printed ticket
appeared which had the names of the
outgoing members j. n. Graham and
N. S. Hansen as candidates for re-elec-
ton. Along about o'clock it developed
that some parties were opposing Mr..
Hansen and voting for o. P. Coon and
it is said that for time it looked to
Hansen's friends that he would be de-
feated. But some of them bestirred them
selves and prevented it. If there was
any issne we didn't hear Oft. Mr. Coon
would have made good member of the
board had he been elected. The result
was as follows; Graham 95; Hansen SO;
Coon 30; and four scattering votes.

PRESIDENT TAFT
ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
OF Senator BalIinger And Writes A
Severe And Caustic Letter Con-

TIC H~$so<hSs
Dear Mr.. Secretary: l accept your
resignation with great reluctance. |
have had the fullest opportunity to
know you, to know your standards OF
service TO the government and the
public; to know your motives. to know
how you have administered your Office
and to know the motives of those who
have assailed you. do not hesitate to
say that you have been the object of
one of the most INSCRIPTIONS conspira-
cies for the defamation of character
that history can show. have deemed
it my duty, not only to the government
but to society in general, to fight out
this battle TO the end, confident that in
the end your fellow citizens would see
that the impressions of you as man
and as the administrator of high pub
lie office were false and were the result
of malicious and unprincipled plan
for the use of the press to misrepresent
you and your action and to torture
every circumstance, however free from
detrimental significance, into proof of
corrupt motives.
With the hypocritical pretense that
they did not accuse You of corruption,
in order to AVOID the necessity that even
the worst criminal is entitled, to-wit:
That of definitely formulated charge
of some misconduct, they showered you
with suspicion and by the most petit
Jogging methods exploited to the public
matters which have no relevancy to an
issue of either corruption or efficiency
in Office. but which, paraded before a
hysterical body of headline readers,
served to blacken your character and to
obscure the proper issue of your hon
esty and effectiveness as a public
servant.
The result has been cruel tragedy
and you have lost your health and have
been burdened financially. The con-
spirators who have not hesitated in
their pursuit of you to resort to the
meanest methods. including corruption
of your most confidential assistant
plumed themselves like the Pharisees
of old as the only pure members of
society, actuated by the spirit of self
sacrifice for their fellow men.
Every fiber of my nature rebels
auraiuct c,,.h hxz,,nc,.;Sv an1 raruao ,na
to fight such combination in such
methods to the bitter end, lest success
in this instance may form a democrat
izing precedent, but personal considera-
ton for you and yours makes me feel
that have no right to ask yon for fur
ther sacrifice.
OF course, it has been made evident
that was the ultimate object of the
attack and to insist against your will
on your remaining in office with the
prospect of further efforts against you.
is selfiishly to impose ON you more of
burden than l ought to impose. As
| say farewell to you, let me renew my
expression of affection and sincerest re-
spect for you, and my profound gratitude
for your hard work and your unvarying
loyalty and your effective public service.
l hope and pray that success may attend
you and yours when you return to that
community where you live and whose
members know your worth as man
and citizen who will receive you
again with open arms.
Sincerely yours.

The Corporation Law Sustained.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff law passed
two years ago contained provision to
tax corporations for the privilege and
advantages of doing business in acorpo-
rate capacity. The amount is one per
cent Of the net income over and above
5000 received from all sources during
the year. A big fight has been made
in the court against this law hut the

given a unanimous decision in sustain
ing the law. which win bring in twenty
