CONGRESSMAN PICKETT
AGAINST RECIPROCITY
Says That Farms In Iowa Cannot
Compete With The Cheap
Lands In Canada.

Congressman Picket of Waterloo talks
against reciprocity with Canada
because it will damage the Iowa
Farmer. From his speech against it we
give the following paragraphs;
AGAINST RECIPROCITY
II am not discussing parties but this
Is true and every farmer knows it is
true-that $3.50 per acre land cannot
compete with land at from $40 to $l5
per acre. We out i'm Iowa know that
our land is valued. according to report
l have, $109 per acre, and most OF it is
more than that cannot compete with
the cheap lands in Canada. They raise
more per acre today in Canada than we
raise on our soil. with the exception,
perhaps, of corn.
This country is not producing a
surplus. That is the trouble with the
argument in favor of this bill. As a
matter of fact, we have been trying
for 100 years to get to the point we
have reached now, that is home mar
ket that will consume practically all
the produce of the farm. The very
moment we reached that point, after
the farmers have gone into new terri
tory, and have endured the hardships
of the pioneer, it is now proposed to say
TO them that you are earning too much
and we will put you in free competition
with other countries.
80 far as the farmers of Iowa are
concerned, they know something of
conditions in Canada and this country.
We have lost in population and some of
our people have found homes across the
border line All the talking that one
hears here will not convince the Iowa
farmer that there is no difference in the
cost of production in this country and
Canada, for he knows the difference and
will know it again when he is confronted
with the necessity of selling his produce.
From a sectional standpoint and from
the broadened view of what is best for
the whole American people, cannot
support this reciprocity bill discrimina-
tory as it is to the farming interests of
my own and other states.

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY

Hon. Geo. d. Perkins, one of the
leading standpatters in Iowa speaks in
his Sioux City Journal as follows con-
corning the election of Senator Kenyon:
The election of Judge Kenyon is a
republican victory, not fractional vic
tory. 1t is in fact the most substantial
score in the interest of harmony regis
tered since the party in Iowa has been
rent by internecine strife. If fractional
motive had been allowed to govern
there could have been no election. If
fractional lines had been maintained as
they were presented in the early days
of the balloting, the deadlock must
have remained fast until adjournment.
Until the very last the extremists of
both factions were found holding out
against the only feasible solution. 1t is
pleasant to find that the moderates de
termined the issue The fact carries
hope that the republican party in the
state and i'm the nation may be able to
do the compromising with itself that
must be done if it is to continue a prac-
teal political organization.-Sioux City

DISTRICT CONVENTION
MEETS TUESDAY, MAY 10
At Council Bluffs To Nominate A
Candidate For Congress In
The Ninth District.

j. Nj. Renftle went to Council Bluffs,
Friday to attend meeting of the dis
trict Congressional committee to set a
time for holding the district convention
III. b. Herbert is the member of the com
mittee for this county but as he is still
in Washington he sent q proxy, which
was given to Mr. Renftle. After a full
discussion of the situation and the laws
governing the filling of vacancy it was
decided by vote of six to three to call
the delegates elected last June together
in each county to hold a county conven-
ton and select delegates to the district
convention. This proposition was OPP
posed by the members of the committee
from Audubon, Shelby and Pottawatta-
mic, because they believed that caucuses
should be held and new delegates select
ed to the county conventions. The date
of the convention was set for Tuesday,
May Is. The county convention will
probably be held on the Saturday pre-
vious which will be May Ii.
The candidates for nomination up to
the present time are Judge Green of
Audubon, Z. s. White of Harlan and
WillisStern of Logan. Then there will be
a half dozen other gentlemen probably
who will not be averse to grooming as
dark horses in case no nomination can
be made otherwise. The gentlemen
who are seeking the nomination are
men of ability and character, and no
serious mistake could be made in select
ing anyone of them. Yet taking into
account large experience and extended
acquaintance the candidate from this
county has the other fellows beaten by
a lead the convention should not forget.
There is general agreement throughout
he may be. must be selected without
acrimony, and then supported by all re-
publicans without regard to faction.
REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.
There will be convention of the Re
publican delegates elected at the June
primaries of 1910. held at the Court
House in Audubon, on Saturday, May
18th at lao o'clock p. m, for the purpose
of selecting seven "a delegates to attend
the Ninth Congressional District con-
vention to be held in Council Bluffs on
Tuesday, May 10th at 100 p m, for the
purpose of nominating candidate for
the Office of member of the United
States House of Representatives from
the said Ninth District to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Hon.
Walter l. Smith, and such other bust
ness as may properly come before the
convention. All delegates of the County
convention of 1910 please take notice
and attend this convention.

here and saw US eat as we were putting

There was q man here last week from
San Jacinto near Brownsville, who said
they were selling their potatoes there
now, and were selling for 500 per

NEW COURT DECISION
KNOCKS OUT SALOONS
The Supreme Court Holds That The
Moon Law Took Effect
April is, 1909.

The supreme court has ruled that the
Moon law, which limits the number of
saloons to one for each 200 of popula-
ton, became effective on A,-il Is, 1909,
when it was signed by Governor Carroll,
and not July 4, 1909. Ii contained no
publication clause, yet the court holds
that it was effective upon being signed
by Governor Carroll
The effect of this decision is to knock
out every saloon permit over and above
the legal allowance of one for each 1000
of population, which was obtained be-
tween April Is, 1909, and July 4, 1909.
In many cities and towns there was
a rush to get permits to sell liquor i'm
mediately after the law was passed. The
law provided that no city or town which
had more than one saloon for each 1000
of population should he affected--that is
that the number of saloons would not
have to be reduced to meet the require
ments of the new law. The general be-
lief was that, there being no publication
clause. the law did not become effective
until July 18th, although II. w. Byers,
then attorney general, ruled that 1t be-
came effective when signed by the gov
ernor.
Justice Weaver wrote the opinion,
which was decided at the March term of
court. The case was brought as test
case by III. III. Sawyer and other Anti
Saloon league forces against L. j. Gal
lagher and others of Sioux City.
q The supreme court reached its conclu-
sions in the following language:
The bill had at least the nominal pur-
pose of reducing or limiting the increase
of saloons and to say that the men who
framed it and made it "a law intended to
provide for an open season from April
18th to July 4th during which the mum.
Der of saloon consents could he increased
indefinitely and without limit would be
to impeach their honesty or intelligence.
Considering therefore the subject
matter of the statue, the evil sought to
be remedied and the ordinary and usual
significance of the language employed,
the words from and after the passage
of this act as used in section one OF the
statute and the words now hold as used
in section two thereof are to be given
effect as making the passage OF this act
by the legislature, to-wit, April 10, 1903,
the date beyond which the exception or
exemption provided for in section two
should not be effective. This conclusion
is not necessarily inconsistent with any
of the numerous authorities cited by
counsel"

WRITES FROM TEXAS
He Is Still Enthusiastic Over The
Conditions And Prospects At
Ills Southern Home.
Mr.. Geo. E. Kellogg.
Audubon. Iowa.

Mr.. Geo. ~. helOgS.
Audubon, Iowa
Dear Sir:-This is Sunday evening
and we thought that You might like to
hear how everything is coming along
down In this part of Texas. Now | tell
you IL our friends in Audubon could see
this glorious country they surely would
want slice of this part of it, as 1t is
practically summer here all OF the time;
we have been having plenty of rain
here this Spring to fetch on the crops
Our son-in-law, Bert Killinger has
planted ITO acres Of crops, 30 acres in
cotton which looks fine to us; his first
planting is about to 10 inches high
and is waving nicely in the breeze, and
has hardly u weed in it. Now you ought
to see Bert smile when looking oyer the
so acres in one field. all planted to cot
ton and hear him tell his looker-on
friends how many thousands OF dollars
he expects to get out of it this fall; you
ought to see him work, as he goes at it
as II he expected that every hour would
make him lots of dollars, and it now
looks to me that 1t surely will.
Talk about having to depend alto
Yether upon irrigation here, it don't
look that way to me by the big rains
we are getting this spring; l went to
Mission yesterday for hay, oats and corn
with our big span of mules, and when
coming back with big load on, and
about half way back which is about six
and half miles from our City of Monte
Christie, we met rain storm coming
right towards us that wet us through
in about fifteen minutes, and We will
not soon forget this storm. To make it
plain, the cutters along the side of the
road were is inches deep with water in
a few minutes. and even on the road,
which is nicely graded. was about an
inch deep, in short order, and 1t rained
ON us all the way home and the road
was so slippery that it took us three
hours to get home through the rain;
even our new cowhide shoes were full
of water, and we shook like a leaf when
we got in the house by the stove which
our little wife had hot, as she well
knew we would be soaking wet and
cold. as we had to face the rain all the
way.

very pleasant evening was spent by
about thirty couples who went to their

danced to the sweet strains of music

The dance went along nicely until just
past midnight when someone happened
to feel hungry and suggested supper
That put stop to it for the time being
and supper was served, and all relished
with an appetite such as a dance can
give teller" After supper was over
dancing was resumed and continued
until about 2:30 when all went home
very much pleased with the nights

not invited managed to get in for awhile.

ED OLSON DIES SUDDENLY
Expires While Swallowing Bread And
MiIk.-Had Diphtheria.

A special from Elk Horn to The Non

died suddenly at his home near Elk Horn
a few days ago. He had been suffering
from sore throat for several days.
Wednesday he thought he could swallow
some milk and bread. His wife pre-
pared it for him and after taking a few
spoonsful he fell back in his bed dead
man. The premises were Immediately

Reckless Auto Driving.

Saturday night about 9 o'clock an
automobile with four men occupants
came speeding around the park at the
rate of about thirty miles an hour turn
ing the corner at the Audubon Hard
ware store and going west on Broadway
without Stacking speed. Anyone cross
ing the street at the time was in dan
ger of great injury if not death. Such
fast driving should not be tolerated and
when the parties are found ont they
should have heavy fine to pay.

Satisfactory To Stand-patters

The Indianola Herald, whose editor is
a radical stand patter, says:
The election of Mr.. Kenyon to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Dolliver ought to be very satisfactory
to what is known as the standpat ele-
ment in the republican party of Iowa.
The Heralds first choice was Mr.. LATE
Young, of the Des Moines Capital, but
for short time we will have to wait
In the meantime we have an admins
tration senator's he is already part
of it-and that is something Iowa has
not had for some time. We will now be
spared repetition of such disgraceful
scenes as one republican senator in re-
publican state convention refusing to
mention the name of President Taft
while the other sits quietly, and by his
silence gives his approval TO the insult
not only to Mr.. Taft, but to those re-
publicans present who were loyal to him.
