IN THE OLD DAYS.

Charter Oak Times: We heard
some fellows telling, the other day,
about the olden times when a farm
err had to follow a clothes line in
order to get from his barn to his
house in time of storm-and it made
us smile. We have seen two of the
three great storms Of the western
praries and we are free to confess
that there is whole lot of hot air
expended upon tender-footed people
when the old timer gets to telling
of these storms. They were bad.
There is no question about that, but
not SO bad that a man could not go
a reasonable distance to his barn or
back-that is, if he was sober. In
one of these storms we went further
than most people in a chance to in
vestigate. Our obituary was pub
lished-frozen to death on the wide
expanse of Dakota prairie in Octo-
Der. We did in fact get our feet a
little frozen, but we were not dead.
We Travelled twenty miles in the last
of the storm and struck the house
we started for, so, you see, the
storms were not so bad. We will
say this much, though, and we will
guarantee the truth of it; hard
coal fire, or soft coal fire, or even
a fire of hay, and seat by it within
the four walls of home were fine

SAME HERE.

1t appears that there is much op-
position to the denomination OF
Gov. Clarke in all parts of the state.
The following, from the Manson
Journal, indicates that the situation
in Calhoun is much the same as in
Hamilton county:
One little incident that recently
came to our notice will illustrate
how the farmers feel over the gov
ernorship. At gathering Of farm
ers in an adjoining county there

HAS NO CANDIDATE.

Now the Webster City Freeman
Tribune will be anxiously watched
for its announcement of the name OF
it's candidate for governor.-Times-
Republican.
The Freeman Tribune has no can
didate for governor. All it desires
is the nomination Of strong man
on the republican ticket who will
give hope of success at the polls.
The Freeman-Tribune has taken
some pains to ascertain public SEN
timent among republicans in this
vicinity and it is safe to say that
fifty per cent of them declare they
will not support Mr.. Clarke If he
is re-nominated. Two of the reasons
for this are the unjustifiable increase
in taxes and the action of the gov
ernor in acquiescing in the lease of
Wall lake to a son-in-law of a men,
Der of the executive council, which
body executed the lease. The peo-
pie of this section of Iowa are arous-
ed over these matters and If c0ndi-
lions elsewhere in the state are as
they are here the republican ticket
with Gov. Clarke at the head will
stand no more chance of winning
than the national ticket did in
1912. OF course many republicans
who are now against Gov. Clarke
will be for him at the election pro-
vided he is nominated, but sufic-
lent number Of them will oppose
him to insure his defeat. Then why
not nominate a man who can win ?
Gov. Clarke is good man, a high.
minded, clean citizen, but he has
been very unfortunate in some OF
his official actions and will prove a
lamentably weak candidate on the
day Of election. The party can yet
nominate a winner and ordinary po.
litical sagacity would suggest that
it be done.

While all this discussion is go
ing on about who is responsible for
the levy increases in Iowa it should
be remembered that the executive
council advised all boards in the
state before the local levies were
made a year ago that a raise was in
prospect.-Anamosa Eureka.
All of which is true. It is like
wise true that many of the levying
boards reduced levies, but few of
them made reductions consistent
with the enormous increase in as
sessed values. The school board
here in Webster City did it, but the
board that did so is the exception
rather than the rule. The execu-
tive council itself, while reducing
the levy, failed to reduce it as much
as it should and as a result taxes
for state purposes are out of proper
ton to what they have been here
tofore. They jumped here in Ham
ilton county from total of approx
imately $4,000 to total of ap-
proximately $4,000. That increase
cannot be justly charged to local
levying bodies and the executive
council ought to accept the respon-
sibility gracefully. While it is true
that much the larger amount of our
taxes is consumed in the communi-
ties where collected and that the
local levying bodies are responsible
for the greater part of the increase,
the executive council cannot escape
it's just share of the blame.

BOUND TO GET IT.

The state seems to have it in for
Big Wall Lake. After there had
been violent protests, plan to have
the lake drained and turned into
corn field was abandoned. But per-
haps even great men who get into
state Office, sometimes harbor lit
tie resentment, and feel a longing
to play even with some one who has
thwarted their plans. And so there
is talk now Of converting the lake
into a state farm, perhaps with
tile factory connected Herewith. If
the lake is to disappear, it will mat
ter very little to the sportsmen, who
protested, what may eventually be
done with the land.-Burlington
Hawk-Eye.
Judging from the temper of the
people, whatever is to be done to
drain the various lakes and to con-
vert them into farm land or tile
factory sites, must be done soon, as
there are going to be men elected
this fall to state Office who will be
opposed to destroying the few lakes
Iowa has left. b. dgeav an

were over forty voters present, ev-

A gentleman who is interested in
politics, brought up the governor
ship question. To his surprise there
was not a vote for Clarke. They did
not expect to defeat him in the
primaries, but they declared they
would vote for a democrat in No

This is only straw, but it is a
mighty good indication of the cur
rent of public feeling. If the party
wishes to win in November, it must
defeat Clarke in the primaries.

wing of the republican party in
Iowa and has universally supported
the candidates of his party.
President Wilson is right upon
the question of Panama canal tolls.
Each vessel taking advantage of the
canal ought to pay the same rate.
1t will cost SIS, 100000 per year to
maintain the canal, according to es-
Inmates, exclusive of interest
charges, which at three per cent
will amount to s15,OOO,OOO more.
Moreover, our treaty with Great
Britain guarantees that all nations
and all ships shall receive the same
treatment, and that treaty cannot
be honored by charging English
ships while American ships go
through free. Let the political phase
take care of itself. The American
people GU ght to insist upon the gov
eminent standing by it's pledges. If
we made a bad bargain that does
not Justify us in repudiating it.
B. O. Aylesworth, state organizer
for the progressive party, was in
Sioux City a day or two ago and
stated that all the leaders of the
party the country over would be in
Iowa during September and October
to carry on the fight for progress
siveism. It is evident that the ma
tional leaders want to defeat Sen
ator Cummins, as he has done SO
much to re-unite the republican
party. However, it would be just as
we'll for the progressive party if Geo.
w. Perkins and Medill Mccormick
were not brought to Iowa. If Roose-
velt should come he will find a
hearty welcome. While the state
may not agree with him in his
method of doing the best thing for
the country, believing that the re-
publican party will "come back
and do it, a large majority of our
people like the colonel and regard
him as one of the strongest charac-
tiers the world ever produced. He
will receive hearty welcome when
ever he comes to Iowa.
Nobody believes the silly charge
that President Wilson has sold out
to British interests and is making
the fight against free tolls because
of such sale. The country believes
in the honesty of the president
whether it agrees with him or not
and his opponents in the tolls issue
gained nothing by attempting to i'm
peach his motives. Still, that charge
is no worse than the one INDUCED
in by the presidents psrtisans to
the effect that such leaders in the
fight for free tolls as Champ Clark
and Oscar Underwood are guilty Of
party treason merely because they
disagree with the president. Messrs.
Clark and Underwood have the same
right to disagree with the president
that the president has to dis
agree with them and it is
the natural thing for real leaders
to sometimes look from different
viewpoints upon public questions.
These differences can be held hon
estly and there is no occasion to
question the motives Of those dis
agreeing.

litical foresight and sagacity would
suggest that the party nominate one
of them.
Men who sell seeds in Iowa must
know that their goods are good
goods or suffer the consequences.
Over at Fort Dodge a few days ago
case was tried in Judge Lees
court wherein the plaintiff declared
that seed corn which he purchased
was poor quality. The corn had
been advertised and Mr.. Lawler,
who bought it, paid three dollars a
bushel for it. The first planting
failed to terminate and the second
planting was so late that poor
crop resulted. The defense claimed
that the seed was tested and was
sold with confidence that it was
good. The jury was out two hours
and returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, awarding him damages for
$3.50. The defense announces that
the case will be appealed. 1t ap-
pears to the Freeman-Tribule that
the finding of the jury is good sense
if not good law. When a farmer
pays SO bushel for seed corn he
has a right to expect that it will
grow and If he plants it and cares
for it properly and it fails to re-
spond he ought to recover damages
from the man who sold him the
seed.
