G. E. Pettibone Discovered Serving
Sentence in Wisconsin
Penitentiary.

Liberty.
Ne MAN IS STILL MISSING

Fort Madison, March 14.-G. e.
Pettibone, escaped convict from the
penitentiary at this city, has been
discovered within the walls Of the
Wisconsin prison at Waupon, serv-
ing an eight year sentence for horse
stealing. Pettibone got away from
the force at the state farm here last
spring and made good his escape.
He had been sentenced to fifteen
year term for forgery from Dubuque
county and had only served little
more than year of his time. When
his eight years are up at Waupon
|ihe will be called upon to return
and serve out his fifteen.
During his short stop in the pris-
on here, Petitioners record was re-
markably good. In fact his behavior
had been so good that he was per-
mitted to join the force at work
each day at the state farm two miles
north of the city, an honor which
falls to few convicts. On the after
noon Of March 20 he was at work
pruning trees and, between the
rounds Of the guard, made success
full getaway to the adjoining woods.
A posse secured the surrounding
country that night and the next
day, but to no avail.
With yesterdays count totaling
49S, the only convict remaining to
be accounted for is Jones, who es-
capped from the farm when at work
hoeing onions last summer.

TWENTIETH CENTURY
LIMITED Is WRECKED
Goes Through Ice Into Waters Of
Hudson River.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. March IL
Thirty persons injured, several SER
iously but none, it is believed. NOR
tally, sums up today the casualties
caused when the first section Of the
south bound Twentieth Century
limited, the New York Central's
crack flyer, fell into the Hudson
river a mile south of Hyde Park,
near this city, yesterday.
Running behind schedule at an
estimated speed of sixty miles an
hour and rounding a curve close by
the banks of the Hudson, the train
struck broken rail. Five cars left
the track, plunged down an en-
bankment and broke through the
ice into the water.
The thick Ice coating the stream
kept the cars from sliding into deep
water. Water entered some OF the
lower berths and gave many OF the
sleeping passengers an icy bath.
Planks were run out of the car win
dows and passengers made their way
to shore over these improvised
bridges.
Those Of the injured who were
unable to help themselves were car
ried out and all those requiring sur
gical attention were placed on
board trains and rushed to New
York City.

the filing of that great office. The
President must be chosen by picked
men elected specifically for that
purpose, and as matter of further
safeguard it was declared that NO
senator or representative or person
holding any Office, of profit or trust
under the United States could be an
elector.
Hamilton, in the sixty-seventh
paper of "Federalist," ably defend
ed this method of checks by which
the President should be selected by
a college of the West and best men
Of the nation, and the choice there
fore be uninfluenced by popular
prejudice or passion.
1t was equally desirable that the
immediate election should be made
by men most capable OF Analysing
the qualities adapted to the station
and acting under such circumstan-
ces favorable to elaboration and to
a judicious combination of all the
reasons and inducements which
were proper to govern their choice.
A small number OF persons selected
by their fellow-citizens from the
general mass will be most likely to
possess the information and discern
ment requisite to such complicated
Investigations.
No president of the United States
has ever actually been elected in
the manner which the trainers of
the constitution devised or in the
manner which the constitution was
amended in 1902 to provide for, ex-
cept when the electors failed to
choose President and the choice
fell to the House of Representatives.
The method of making President
by college OF picked men espe
ly chosen for that purpose has been
a dead letter from the day the con-
stitution was adopted.
Washington was elected Presi-
dent because he was the unanimous
choice of the country. The elector-
al college merely ratified popular
opinion. When he retired at the
end of his second term it was for
purely personal reasons. Although
Jefferson had referred to the Presi-
dent as "a bad edition of a Polish
king" he would have been glad to
have him continue in Office in order
to prevent the government from
falling completely into the hands
of Hamilton and the Federalists.
Washington's refusal was dictated
in no sense by a belief that a third
term might imperil American insti-
tutions. His real reasons, frankly
stated in his correspondence, We're
that he was tired of public life and
that as candidate he could poll no
more votes than any other Federal
list.
Washington's retirement gave no
opportunity for the electoral college
to perform the lofty functions for
which it was created
Hamilton promptly devised the
scheme Of a congressional caucus to
nominate candidates, and arrange
an understanding by which the
Federalist electors in 1895 were to
divide their votes between Adams
and Pinckney. The Congressional
caucus remained in power for TWEEN
ty-eight years. 1t selected the can
didates, and the electors merely rat
flied the choice of the caucus. BY
means of this caucus jefferson was
enabled to pass the presidency
along to Madison then jefferson
and Madison gave it to Monroe. The

ain. What is Value?
1T IS REFRESHING.


Washington Press: For many
years the U. S. senate has contained
few men who have attracted as much
attention, upon so short notice, as
Senator w. S. Kenyon. He is new
| type. During his service in the up
per house of congress he has taken
less interest in the political ques-
lions of the day than he has in the
moral and social questions. He
is a progressive, but does not al
low his views to be ,hampered by
territorial sentiment-rather treats
progressive principles nationally.
Notwithstanding this he has taken
a strict progressive stand on all
questions. But he is new type in
the senate. The country has heard
more of him on moral questions
than it has on political ones. His
attitude on the Lorimer and Steph-
enson scandals, certainly are to be
commended. His attack on petty
graft in the senate has been ap-
plauded the country over. His sup
port of increased pensions for old
soldiers to be made partly from a
saving in many places, by using the
knife on graft, and his support of
temperance measures, to protect
"dry" territory from the encroach-
ment from the liquor traffic, togeth-
er with his efforts along the line of
securing higher wages and social
justice to those compelled to work
for starvation wages, have thrilled
the public with admiration for
Iowa's junior senator.
Kenyon is attracting the atten-
tion of people all over the United
States by his wise measures end his
attitude upon questions which gen.
orally do not gain the attention
they should in the halls of con-
gress. They are social rather than
political. No man has ever increas-
ed so greatly in the esteem of the
people. of Iowa in SO short a, time
as has Senator Kenyon. LATE Young
will be candidate for the nomina-
tion of senator and will thus contest
for this honor with Senator Kenyon.
It is our candid opinion and also
that of every man we have talked
to on this subject that LATE is vast
ing his energy. Senator Kenyon is
growing on the people of Iowa as
few other men ever have. He is
clean. He is broad minded and CIV
en- to enunciating good wholesome
progressive Americanism, rather
than spending his time in political
wire-pulling and bolstering up his
place in the senate. No spirit of
buster, or of forwardness has mark
ed his career in the senate thus far,
but rather keen deliberate judg-
ment on questions, which have been
crying for action for years, has TO-
cused the attention Of the country
upon him.
Lynn H. Dinkens, New Orleans,
president of the Interstate Trust
and Banking company, while in
Iowa recently, made the assertion
that it would be national mis-
fortune If Iowa would fail to return
Kenyon to the senate when his term
expires-Dinkens need have no fear
that the people of Iowa will desire
to precipitate a national misfortune.

Many people undoubtedly will be
surprised to learn that expectation

the bureau of statistics is reporting

No wonder the Journal backed UP
so promptly on it's proposition to
submit the local postmastership sue
cession to a primary. The itch for
Office makes men act very queer
sometimes. Tuck has no doubt fig
ured out that if Col. Young as a
private citizen is strong enough to
cause the Withholding of postmaster
appointments at such places as Mar
shalltown and Webster City he
would be strong enough as senator
to dictate the appointment. Evil
IDENTIFY Tuck concludes that he
would rather take his chances with
the colonel than to ''leave it to the
people, who do not always do just
as one wants 'em to.
What merit has the claim that
"Taft is entitled to another nomi-
nation or that Champ Clark has
earned the presidency" The thing
that ought to govern the voter is:
Among the various candidates who
will serve the country best? Which
gives promise of best results? If
the voter thinks it for the benefit Of
the country to have Taft reelected
he should favor Taft If Roosevelt
can serve the nation better he is
the one to support. The same is
true of Cummins, Clark, Wilson and
the rest of them. To say that such
a man has earned it is putting a
wrong estimate upon the position.
The presidential Office is for the
people, not to glorify any man. This
also holds good in relation to a
third term. The people ought to
have the best possible service, re-
CARELESS of the time the incumbent
has held the Office. If the Ameri-
can people are so weak that they
dare not trust an elective Office in
the hands of a man upon his own
merit, without trusting to the preju-
dice of precedent to defeat him,
they ought at least be too independ-
ent and too manly to admit it. If
Roosevelt is elected for a third term
it will be because the people want
him and he will not serve fourth
term unless the voters say so. There
is no such thing as car or an en-
porer in popular form of govern
ment. The people can elect a new
ruler any time they see fit. 1t is
just as foolish, in the Judgment of
the Freeman-Tribune. to say that a
man should not have third term
as it is to say that he should have
second term merely because he
