Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-08-31

Congressman Green was charged in
some quarters during the campaign
with being an extreme radical. His
work has been conservative. His rad
ical conduct only comes to the surface
when he is convinced that wrong ex-
lists which needs to be righted. Fol
instance, the judge could not see how
man could accept pay for work
which he had not performed. He never
could see why railway should give
some people passes and not others. He
could never see how q man could accept
a railroad pass without expectation ofin
some way rendering some service in
return And it was likewise perfectly
obvious to him that railway men did
not pursue the policy of giving passes
without expectation of returns. Judge
Green's opssition to abuses of this
character identified him with progress
sive men in the state But he fights
no windmills; he must be shown that
wrong exists and then he is in favor of
applying remedies. His record in con-
gress has been very satisfactory. 1t
has been judicial.
The great need in this era of Lori
merism is men of just such rugged
rectitude as Judge Green has proven
himself to be, not only in this little
incident, but in his whole career as a
judge and as a citizen. Indeed, this
incident is wholly characteristic of the
man.

would bring TO the national prosperity
Where the extra session was of most
notable service in defining issues and
ending political confusion was in the
complete self-exposure it brought to In
surgent hypocrisy, the segregation OF
the radicals and Jewelers. as a distinct
party. and the compulsion put upon
them to travel hereafter upon their own
merits and not under disguise of party
labels and of names which stand for
principles of government which the In
surgents desire to destroy.
The self-exposure of Insurgent ny
pocrisy began with their fight in the
Senate against Canadian reciprocity.
Here was tariff reduction" and at least
a prospect of that flower cost of living
for which the Insurgent had rent the
heavens on every Chautauqua platform.
But it hurt "a little in some of their own
states, and they ragged against it, thus
illustrating the truth of Mr.. Taft's re-
mark that the difficulties of tariff re-
duction were chiefly in the desire of
these eminent gentlemen to put the
whole burden on communities other
than their own.
The completeness of Insurgent hy-
pocrisy, and how wholly their heroics
are egoistic self advertising, was anus
ingly illustrated last Thursday, when
Messrs. Cummins and Bristow voted
against their own steel and sugar sched-
ules when reintroduced by two Demo
cratic Senators after preliminary
defeatl
So the extra session closes with Mr..
Taft and the regular Republicans both
stronger than at its beginning, and with
the Insurgents practically eliminated
from Republican counsels 1t is for the
Regular Republicans to go on, and de-
serve to win, by continuing to appeal TO
the party of Sober Minds against the
party of Open Mouths.

PRESIDENT vEroEs FOUR BILLS.

President Taft has been gaining
ground rapidly during the extra session
of Congress both for ability TO see and
the backbone to act. He veoted four
different bills passed by combination
of democrats and insurgents The state
hood bill admitting Arizona and New
Mexico gave HIM an opportunity to ex-
press in scathing terms the effort to
subject our courts to the dictation of
mobocracy which is always ready to
take revenge on judges for giving de-
cisions of justice to its members.
Concerning his vetoes of the farmers
free list and the "woollen' and
cotton" bills il is, as stated by lead
ing progressive paper, that they are
fortified by every republican platform
of the middle west and there is not even
q peg on which to hang an impeachment
of his argument. President Taft has
been consistent as well as courageous
in standing for scientific revision of
the tariff

CONGRESSMAN GREEN
HOME FROM WASHINGTON
Though Legally Entitled To u He
Turned Big Pay Check
Back Into The
Treasury.

Judge Green arrived home from
Washington, Thursday evening Of last
week, glad to get back to the cooling
breezes of the Iowa prairies after suffer
ing the intense heat of that southern
city during the summer. Though he
was there only about two months he
had time to become initiated into some of
the first degrees of the great Legislative
body of four hundred members. As
stated below, according to the law and
custom he was entitled to pay from the
time Judge Smiths resignation took
effect. But he refused to accept any
pay until his resignation as judge took
effect and he entered upon his duties as
member of the House. We are of the
opinion that his action in this matter is
another illustration of the old adage
that Honesty is the Best policy" and
also the best politics. The Council
Bluffs Nonpariel has the following
editorial concerning this matter which
we take pleasure in reproducing:
THE press dispatches have recorded
no hair raising stunts performed or
undertaken by the new congressman
from the Ninth Iowa district, Judge
Green, during the part of the special
scsoiOu VI couSiCoo JuSo OhO,oA III WhSh
he served. One incident, however, IL
Illustrates we'll the character Of the man.
He was entitled to salary from the
government under the customs estab-
lished by precedent, from the fourth of
March. He refused compensation except
from the date in June on which he
qualified as congressman. The judge
was unable to figure out any legal or
moral grounds on which he could draw
salary as an officer for some months
before he was elected or qualified to fill
the office.
Judge Green is no grandstander. He
is not even brilliant, except in this
rugged honesty. He will set off no
fireworks and do nothing to attract
particular attention. But he will
nevertheless be found at all time Civ
ing careful attention TO the business
of the district. He will investigate
just as far as possible the merits OF
every proposal that comes before him
and his vote on all roll calls will be as
conscientious as his refusal to accept
pay for service in congress which he
had not rendered.

THE EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESSHAS ADJOURNED
After Running From March The
Fifteenth Through The
Summer To August
Twenty-Second,

The extra session of congress closed
last week and the members hiked for
home on the first train leaving the city.
They were glad to get away. The
session was called topass the reciprocity
bill but the majority party concluded
to play politics TO manufacture ammuni-
ton for next years campaign and that
prolonged the session all through the
summer. The Daily Inter Ocean sizes
up the situation as follows
The first or extra session of the Sixty
Second Congress ends today Ii has
been session more notable for political
definitions than for legislative achieve
ments.
1t has given Mr.. Taft the Canadian
reciprocity issue he desired for his re-
election campaign, for Canadian APP
proval of the agreement, though OBJ
stinately contested. may be taken as
ultimately assured.
1t has also given Mr.. Taft an oppor-
tunity to arouse new interest in his
future and fortunes by his firm and clear
expression of the national disapproval
of the socialistic plan for substituting
government OF mobs for government of
laws through the recall" of judges.
1t has drawn the battle lines for 1912,
not so much through the conflict be-
tween the Republican President and the
Regular Democracy over tariff revision
and the method and manner of it, as in
other ways.
For Mr.. Taft, as well as the Democracy
is committed to some tariff revision
downward. The question between Mr..
Taft, as the Republican candidate, and
a Democratic candidate, such as Mr..
Harmon or Mr.. Dix, representing the
present effective leadership of the
House, will be not so much of "WhatG"
as of How muchf" and In what
manner?'
The three Democratic tariff bills have
been vetoed by Mr.. Taft, and an appeal
to the people taken, not so much in OBJ
lection to their principle as in objection
to their method. Mr.. Taft held that in
revising the tariff Congress should wait
for the information for whose collection
it had provided before acting. And that
is an argument which appeals to every
sober minded man conscious of the com
plexity of tariff legislation and of the
disasters that haste and ignorance there

Keep Hands On The Wheel.

This morning, about 1918 as Claude
Nichols was making flying trip down
main street to the depot, with Mrs. Cal
Brown, he turned TO close the door to
the back seat, and in doing so, lost con-
troll of the steerage and the machine ran
into the ditch, which is about three
feet deep in front of L. Hogelin's resi-
dence. When the front wheels struck
the ditch, the rear end flew off the
ground causing the machine TO turn q
summersault. Both Mrs. Brown and
MIR. Nichols were pinned under the car
until the crowd lifted the machine off OF

hurt with two or three broken ribs, and
Mr. Nichols is also in serious condi
tion at present. -Panora Vedette.

actor played his part well as also did
the ladies, and the specialties given by
Louise the Ward and the Fool Killer

hit with the crowd. The Locke Co. has
played here in Audubon three
times and express wish to play here
each year in the future with a new
play as they like Audubon and its peo-
pie, and the Audubon people seem to
like their plays very well. The noise
made in the back end of the house by
some young men caused the actors at
one time to stop in their act and remon-
strate with the disturbers before they
could proceed with the play Such nui-
sance should be stopped by themanage-
ment and the offenders elected from
