MAxlMS AND MARKETS.

President Harrison, making tariff
speech, once declared that the demo-
cratic party was student Of maxims
instead of markets."
In other words the speaker contend
ed that the facts to be cleaned from a
study of the American market place
under the protective tariff system
were sufficient to completely shatter
the free trade sophistries which for
nearly a century have been conspi-
cuous part OF the democratic stock in
trade.
Editor Frank P. Clarkson of the Ida
Grove Pioneer is doing some effective
work along this line Of reasoning. He
brings the issue of protection versus
free trade, of good times versus hard
times, right home to the farmers of Ida
county. In the current issue of his
paper we find the following:

Charter Oak people, regardless OF pol
itics, will rally to his support at the
coming election, and after the vote is
counted no one can doubt his pOpu-
larity in his home community where
he is best known.
For Supervisor, 1914 Term.
Fred Gronau is the third candidates
for member of the board of supervis-
ors. His home is up in Stockholm
township, where he has lived for a
great many years, while engaged in the
occupation of farming and stock rails
ing He has made splendid record
for himself and has proved his capac.
ity for handling business for himself,
which argues in favor of his fitness
for handling the affairs of the county.
He is conservative and safe
business man and always counts the
cost before engaging in venture. He
is a man of strict honor and integrity
and can be trusted to handle the bus
mess of the county with the same
caution and good judgment as he
handles his own funds.
We think it would be wise thing
to elect some new members on the
board of supervisors and to throw new
light into the management of the coun-
ty affairs. 1t may be that what the
old crowd has been doing all these
years is all right, but it would be a
satisfaction to know whether such is
the case, and the best way to find out
is to elect some republican members
on the board in order to review the
record which has been made by the
democrats so long in Office. And as
long as the republicans have nominal
ed the very best men in the county,
why not accept this year as good
time to make the change?

INSTITUTES AND SHORT COURSES

The importance and value of the
work of the farmers institute can
not be overestimated. This work
should grow in Importance from
year to year, and without doubt will
do so if the management succeeds in
avoiding the rocks upon which many
an institute has gone to pieces. II
the work done at the farmers insti-
tute be made entirely practical so
that the average farmer in attend
ance upon it may receive actual, prac-
teal benefit from it, the institute will
be one of the means for the advance
ment and development of true agri-
culture.
1t is a serious mistake for mex
perienced lecturers to put before an
institute matters that they have not
proved themselves to be true in their
own experience. What the farmer
wants is not theory or inapplicable
experimentation by agricultural high
brows, but actual help from men who
do the things they talk about, and
when they speak know the subject to
which they are inviting attention. Men
who have followed the pillow, who
know what the smell of fresh-turned
earth is like and who have themselves
experimented with the soil and can
tell of their failures as well as of their
successes in such a way as to be of
actual help to all who listen. 1t is ex-
pected that our agricultural extension

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

Do you not think it wise for the
people to vote to 'let well enough
alone?" Taft or Wilson is going to
be elected. There is no doubt OF this
fact; vote for Roosevelt is vote to-
ward the election Of Wilson Wilson's
election will mean disaster, distress
and ruin to the business interests OF
the country; a return of free soup
houses, Coxey's CRIMES, the hard times
and low prices Of 1893 to 1897. The
tariff plank of the 1912 democratic
platform is word for word the same
as that of 1892. You know what it
did to all interests and industries
then. Like follows like; it will DO
the same again A vote for Mr.. Taft
is vote to maintain our present pros
porous times; a vote for safe, sane
and statesmanly administration.

PRES, TAFT UNSMlRCHED.

New York Herald: There is one
prominent republican who stands out
personally clean and unsmirched. This
is William H. Taft, president of the
United States.
at is one of Mr.. Taft's great gifts
of usefulness that he possesses ex-
actly the ability unflinchingly to stand
by the right, and yet to do it with the
minimum of offensiveness toward
those who do not see matters as clear
IL as he does.'-Theodore Roosevelt

elected, and we believe the farmers of
the county would relish seeing one of
their own number come marching into
Denison the first of next year to ac-
cept one of the best offices in the coun-
ty, which the Office of treasurer is
acknowledged to be. We are satisfied
that if the mantle of treasurer falls
upon Mr.. Glassburner that the people
will have no reason to regret his cleo
ton.
For Coroner.
DR.. G. r. Hill, of Charter Oak, was
nominated by the republicans for cor
oner of the county, and being a phys
ician no one can question his ability
to discharge the duties Of the office in
a creditable manner. We have always
felt that this office should be filled by
"a physician and as long as DR.. Hill.
is reputable practitioner, we think
it would be the part of wisdom to
elect him to the office. DR.. Hill is
personally popular wherever he is
known and We predict that from Char
ter Oak, his home town, he will poll a
very large vote. He is comparatively
a young man and yet has had large
practice for a man of his age, and is
therefore especially qualified to make
a first class officer.
For Supervisor, 1918 Term.
For the important Office of super
visor for the 1913 term w. c. Rolls
was selected as one Of the candidates.
Mr.. Rolls is a resident of Dow City,
and is a leading citizen of that COM
munity. Those who have followed
his career in the past have discovered
him to be a conservative and capable
business man, and we'll qualified to
fill the Office of supervisor. 1t was his
peculiar fitness for discharging the
duties of this office that brought his
nomination.. Every one who knew
him said that he would be an ideal
member of the board of supervisors.
and we are satisfied that if elected
his work upon the board will prove
the prediction was true. Whoever is
making a race on the democratic tick
ct against Mr.. Rolls will find that he
has competitor worthy of his best
effort. He will find that the upright
life and conduct of the republican can
didate for this office has won him
host of friends who will come to his
support at the election time.
Another candidate for supervisor
for the 1913 term, Oscar Lehman, was
mentioned in connection with this Of
fee in last weeks issue of the paper.
We call attention to the write up of
Mr.. Lehman in the Charter Oak Times
of last week, a copy of which appears

to be an ideal member of the board

Twentieth Century Farmer.
We quote from the Charter Oak
Times, a newspaper published at the
home of Oscar Lehman, candidate for
supervisor in the western part of the
county, which cordially endorses Mr..
Lehman for the position as follows:
Charter Oak has candidate for
supervisor who is entitled to all the
votes of Charter Oak, and to votes of
all those people who believe that each
center of population shauld be repre-
scented on the board as far as possible.
We have no representation on the
board, and have had none in many
years. There have been men, and
good men, who have been assigned
this part of the county as their espec-
ial care, but they have all lived at
such points that we never see them
except when they happen to be here
on official business or we go to their
homes. Mr.. Lehman does his business
in Charter Oak and belongs to Char
ter Oak church. Charter Oak people
can get to him any week in the year
by meeting him in town as he comes
in to do his weeks business. He has
"a Charter Oak telephone which con-
meets him in a moment with his con-
stituents. We feel that we are en-
titled to such man, and if the other
places in the county want our support
for their men, they have got to help
US get ours"

NATION SAVED BY 4 SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to It's
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part Of
England, and he learned lesson from
spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles
He was discouraged He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to lonely room in
lis castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking. he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. Pc wa..ehed -the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again 1t tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently.
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them. and from
this incident came the old saying, "If
at first you don't succeed try again"
