GOING AT II RIGHT
County Automobile Association Or
ganized Tuesday Evening Will De-
vote Itself to Road Improvement.

One of the most promising good
roads meetings so far held in Au-
dubon County took place in Audu-
bon, Tuesday night, when the Aud
ubon County Automobile Associa-
tion was formed with an initial
membership oe eighty-seven.
DR.. Newton of Extra was made
president of the organization; and
Chas White of Audubon was cleo
ted Secretary and Treasurer.
The PLAN of the association is to
have local officers in each town
ship, who will keep in touch with
the work that is done by the super
tendent of roads, and who will as
sist him in every possible manner
to increase the efficiency of said
work. And i'm case such official
proves negligent or derelict in keep
ing up the roads, it is probable the
association will use it's influence to
replace him.
1t is obvious that organized eff
fort along this and similar lines
will bring about great improvement
in the condition of our highways
May the new association prove an
effective force for better roads. and
be backed by every citizen and tax
payer of Audubon County.

Mrs. Kilworth tells of the serious
illness of MIR. and Mrs. Born. NJ.
Born is now better but Mrs. Born
is still confined to her bed. Her
eye is giving her much trouble and
it is feared another operation will
be necessary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Born were old set
tiers here and for many years resi-
dents of Extra. They spent practi-
cally all their married life here.
Three years ago they went to their
daughter, Miss Trola. who lives in
Newark, New Jersey, where. they
have since made their home. Mrs
Born has been afflicted with eye
trouble for several years and had
operations performed on them by
specialists in Omaha before going
east.
Her many friends here will be
sorry to learn that there is no Inn
provement and that she is still
undergoing great suffering and
that her eye sight is much impaired

SOME VIOLENT ANTICS
The Winds Thrashed, the Light
nings Flashed, the Thundeax
Crashed, and the Rains Dashed,
All on d Peaceful Sabbath Mofn-
ing.

The most destructive storm of
the season occurred last Sunday
morning about noon
An ominous cloud of peculiar ap-
pearance rose suddenly in the
northwest. The light blush green
which indicates hail, was discern
able almost everywhere in it. A
gray, rolling, frothy mass in the
forefront bespoke wind. And be-
hind and through it all could be
seen the dark heavy mass of rain
cloud.
It all arrived. The wind tore
branches from some trees, uprooted
others, and laid all the corn round
about smooth and flat upon the
ground. The hail, with it's usual
caprice, hit some spots and missed
others. The lightning did like
wise, but the thunder hit every
| where. And the rain fell in a de-
luge which could not run away as
fast as it came.
Farmers in the vicinity sustained
considerable loss. Among those
damaged by hail were Oscar Hunt,
James Reiff, Fred Back, Messrs.
johnson & Reift on the dlidlodlN
johnson & Kirk on the E. C. VIII
son farm, A. ]. Bintner, w. T.
Bintner, Peter Thielen, R. P. Clark
and many others. A horse was
killed by lightning for Folly Little
field; and both VIM. Porter and
Arthur VanAernam lost COWS.

OVER OUR MAD SPELL
With Time to Think 1t Over, the
Really Important Facts about
the Conventions Become Moqn
Clear.

There are several millions OF
honest republicans in this land of
ours who are still perplexed over
the question of whether the present
situation really warrants the Or
ganizahion of new party.
We are all getting clearer view,
and the facts are beginning to ap-
pear in their proper proportion.
One big one is that there are,
or were in 1908, about three million
republicans, all told, in the group
of states which supported and FL
nally nominated Taft. In these
states there were no primaries, but
the work was largely dictated by
the big and little bosses. If the
people had had a chance to decide,
it is very certain that the results
would have been different. These
are the three IMPORTANT truths
about the states which did the bus
iness at Chicago.
Let us set against the above the
following facts:
In the states, which tried in vain
to nominate Roosevelt, there are
or were in 1908, about four mil
lion five hundred thousand repub-
icans. In these states the rank
and file of the party made the
choice. Roosevelt received an over
whslming majority,-in fact about
two to one.
Morally, this group OF states
should plainly have won, instead OF
the other one. In a government.
''of the people, by the people, and
for the people" the majority should
rule. But in Chicago the majority
didn't count.
And after all these weeks, one
little word keeps rising up yet to
plague our thoughts,
The answer is, The Old Glard,
alias the Machine, alias the Party
Bosses. They are apparently the
people who count in the republi-
caass party. and the people are the
people who don't count, all of which
sounds strange enough, but ap-
pears from observation and exper-
fence to be perfectly true.
By a hair. the Old Guard won
in Chicago, at the republican con
vention.
By hair, the Old Guard lost in
Baltimore, at the democratic con-
vention.
Accidents WI happen. The Old
Guard still lives in both parties, and
still rules both. It's hold is the
Grin of Death, and thoughtful peo-
pie can no longer hope to see it
broken. 1t is the party; rather it
is both parties; and we are it's pup
pets. Perfidy, dishonor and cor
ruption are it's methods. Its pur-
poses we abhor. But what are we
able to do about it?
Honest men will find an answer
The Old Guards days are numbered
1t is merely question of whether
the old party organizations can be
saved to us, or whether they must
perish because of the corruption
that is in them.
