MAST OF THE MAINE" TO BE
ERECTED OVER GRAVES

Washington, d. c., March l1.-Ar-
rangements are now being made for
the transfer from the Navy Yard to
Arlington Cemetery of the big main
mast of the battleship Maine" re-
Gently brought to Washington from
Havana Harbor on the collier "Leoni-
das." 1t will be erected over the
graves of the men who lose their
lives in the explosion fourteen years
ago as soon as their remains can be
brought TO Washington. The great
mainmast. which, to be exact, is but
section of the mast, is about sixty
feet in height and two feet in diane
ter and weighs nearly four tons.
The anchor of the Maine is already
at Arlington. 1t is covered with
floral tributes practically all of the
tine.
Many applications have been re-
ceived at the Navy Department from
Civic Societies, Lodges, Social clubs
and similar semi-public organizations
for relics from the Inflated Maine. -
The Secretary has been obliged TO
establish a rule that only requests
from organizations of military char
qcter can be complied with, and
these only to limited degree. Many
lodges have requested for pieces Of
wood from the hull to be made into
gayels for the use of their presiding
officer, and literally hundreds OF APP
plications have come in for pieces
large enough to be fashioned into
walking sticks.

Of ascertaining what constitution
meant, and, in fact, It would not be
long until the constitution would be
set aside altogether, and no one
would either know or care whether
its provisions were invaded or not.
President Taft did not fail to point
out the dangerous character of that
sort of a condition. Special interest
would prevail all the time. and the
people would be deprived of any
safeguards; their anchorage, suppos-
ed to be on solid ground in the con.
stitution, would be swept away, and
nothing would be left to protect
minorities, or to save the people from
the clutches of dominant and power.

government not of constitution and
law. but of combined interests that
would be regardless alike of popular
rights and of constitutional prin.
ciples.
1t may be said that the people
would not vote away their rights;
but without any safeguards, and
without any restrictions, how can
anyone know what the people would
do? We recall an instance in point
where the people Of Oregon voted a
closed stream for the benefit of the
rich anglers and to the destruction
of the salmon canneries at the
mouth of that stream. and to the in
jury of the settlers along that stream
who were forbidden to fish, except as
the heightened anglers fshed. The
people of the State had 1t put to
them squarely that this was propo.

ing themselves right to fish in a
certain stream, against an oppressive
canning monopoly, whereas the truth
was, and the effect of the vote was,
that the people at large were depriv

stream, and it was made an anglers

without the constitutional safeguards
would be robbed right and left o.

In all questions Of this sort
President Taft is at his best There
can be no question but that his To
ledo speech will be one of the great
campaign documents this year, ant
justly so, because It is safe, sound

REAPS A WHIRLWIND
Governor of Iowa Helps to Sow
the Wind, Forgetful of the Crop
1t Brings Forth.

Complaint is made that Governor
Carroll was not given respectful
hearing in the state convention at
Dns Moines. We shall frankly al.
nit thai it did .;ck that way to an
innocent bystander. But there
were mitigating circumstances. The
governor was seeking to defend the
acts of the national republican COM
mittee which had refused respect
full hearing to the voice of eight
hundred thousand majority for
Roosevelt in the primarise. If Mr..
Carroll will take day or two off
his job, (and his absence will cause
no serious impediment to the wheels
of the state government) and do a
little reflecting, he will be able 20
clearly discern that the anarchistic
or outlaw symptoms which he dis
covered in that convention were a
symptom of the harvest from the
sowing done in Chicago by Taft re-
publicans. The good book says that
men are bound to reap what they

A PROFITABLE CROP
One Wav to Get Two Crops instead
of One from Audubon County
Land.

A practice, which good farmers
should adopt more generally is that
of growing a patch of rape every
year. There are many hog lots and
ohter pieces of waste ground, which
may be made to yield as large a
return as the rest of the farm, if
sown to this crop.
1t is first class pasture and puts
the meat on whatever eats it. Many
who raise it believe that an acre
of rape is worth more than an acre
of corn. 1t may be sown after small
grain is harvested, and in the same
ground, and will make excellent fall
pasture for hogs, cattle or sheep.
Moreover, it will keep the weeds
down.
The seed is inexpensive. The seed
bed should be we'll prepared, and
the seed sown. broadcast at the rate
of five pounds per acre. The best
variety is Dwarf Essex.

A SEVERE ORDEAL
Attorney General Cosson, Formerly
of Audubon County, Undergoes A
Serious but Successful Operation
at Rochester,.

Hon. George Cosson. Attorney
General of the state of Iowa, was
operated on by the Mayo Brothers
at Rochester, Minnesota, last week,
for appendicitis.
He was accompanied thither by
DR.. A. L. Brooks. The operation
is reported to have been of most
serious nature, owing to the fact
that his condition was much worse
than was believed before he went
upon the table.
So far as can be told, it was entire
ly successful. The danger is be-
lieved to be past, and according to
report he is convalescing rapidly.
Mr. Cosson has hosts Of friends in
Audubon County, who will be glad
to hear Of his speedy recovery.

YOUTH FOUND DEAD
Atlantic Boy Found Dead near bur-

A case which seems somewhat

about four months ago, and with
another young man from Audubon

He stayed with his brother, who
lived in that neighborhood; but
several weeks ago he disappeared.
Last Sunday, his body was found
with a revolver lying beside it.

And as death had
evidently taken place several weeks
ago, it is difficult to determine the

Which is greater-party or prin-

that by allegiance to his party he

honor in high places?
By what rule of American citizen

of Graft and Privilege?

And the. governor of the great
state of Iowa remarks that it is
time that all the democrats and
popuists be driven from the Re-
publican party
What he means is that men who
do not approve of the ugly methods
by which Taft was nominated in
Chicago, are not republicans, but
democrats and populists; and the
republican party has no use fol
them.
From this it appears that the
man who places PRINCIPLES be
fore PARTY, who stands for things
that are right and honorable il
politics as we'll as in other affairs
of life, and who refuses to defend
trickery and fraud, has no place in
the republican party. And the
question arises, Does this convict
the man, or does it convict the
party? Also, just what is the meas

THE RIGHT TRAINING
The Iowa State College at Ames
Really Educating Boys Back to
the Farm instead of AWAY from
1t.

Ames, Iowa, July 22.-Special:
The agricultural division of Iowa
State College does send it's gradu-

mooted question elsewhere wheth-
er or not a college educates young
men away from the country, but
not at Ames. The great majority
OF men who graduated from the ami
NAL husbandry and agronomy cour-
ses this year have taen up farm
work and the same thing has been
true for several years past.
OF the thirty-one animal husband
ry department graduates, twenty
are now located ON farms, opera
ting them for themselves or as farm
managers; the other eleven are
holding positions as teachers in col
leges and high schools, as expert
ment station workers, as statesmen.
Or are taking post graduate work.
OF the sixteen graduates of the
agronomy course, eight are on
farms eight are teaching agriculture
in high schools. The horticulture
and forestry department have put
every one of their graduates into
the practical work for which thew
were trained, and so have the agri-
cultural, engineering and dairy
departments.
The young men who have CON
tracts to teach, or as farm mana-
gers, will get from $1,000 to $4,000
year. Two men, CO.. Bosnian and
e. j. VanMeerten. one an agrono-
mist and the other an agricultural
engineer, have gone home in South
Africa to s2,500 positions as gov
eminent teachers and extension
workers.
THE emphasis has been placed
on farming in all our teaching"
said Dean G. F. Curtiss, some OF
our graduates this year refused pos
itious worth $1,000 and s1,500 as
teachers because they wanted to do
