Republican Bosses Have Full
Sway in Madison County.

0WAl w lNtauto0H O0Antls
Capitol News
A peculiar situation cOnfronts
the people of Madison county
this year. Discouraged and dis
Leartened by its inability to get
the votes of those citizens to
whom its policies and principles
appeal, the Democratic party has
placed no county ticket in the
field in this, one of the greatest
boss-ridden, special interest-con-
trolled counties in the state, and,
warned by the opposition it met
with in the same locality when
even the men named upon its
ticket in that county we're forced
to desert the party to which they
had promised allegiance, the Pro-
gressives failed to see any ad-
vantage in making a fight clearly
foredoOmed to defeat.
The result is that none but the
boss dictated and special inter
est-selected Republican ticket
will appear to the voters of the
county this fall.
A few men, however, unwilling
to bow to the powers that control
the political destiny of the coun-
ty, have already begun to con-
slider the possibility of meeting
on the day of the primary and
nominating in mass convention,
an independent" county ticket.
While the public spirit of
these men is to be admired, we
very much fear that they will fail
of their purpose. In the famous
ballot decision of the supreme
court two years ago barring the
Roosevelt electors from the Off
cial ballot and therefore tending
to disfranchise those who we're
followers of the Progressive par
ty, it was held that mass con-
ventiOn" is no convention at all;
that if the people themselves all
assemble together and name a
ticket, they do not constitute a
lawful convention, but that such
a convention can only be held
by delegates" who may be chos-
en- by the people, or a part of the
people, which delegates alone may
represent" the dsires of the
people.
"A mass convention or assem-
blage does not represent any
body but the participants" says
Justice Ailshie in that case; lit
is not representative in any re-
spect, it is purely democratic in
the true sense of the term, and
Eonly represents the people par
licipating." So, in short, it is
held that such a convention is no
convention at all and cannot
nominate. It is also clearly
pointed out that no convention
can be held to nominate a ticket
on the day of the primaries except
a convention called by some par
ty in existence before the day Of
the primary. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the independent
voters of Madison county must
be deprived of any opportunity
to name a ticket in opposition
tc the all-powerful Republican
machine of that county, for the
last legislature took away even
the right to nominate by petition
which the supreme court did
leave in existence save as to
the presidential ele,tCrs.
There is a possibility that the
Independent people of Madison
county can get ticket nominat-
ed by issuing a call for mass con-
ventiOns, or meetings, in all the
different precincts in that county
10 be held on some Monday be-
fore the primary day. and by nav
such precinct meetings elect del
} rSstes to attend a 6Onventio on
the same day as the primaries.

Explaining Aceent-At a trial be-
tween two London music publishers
before the court Of kings bench in 1913,
the matter in dispute being a violation
of the copyright in the song of THE
Old English Gentleman" Thomas
Cooke, a composer Of some note in his
day, was subpoenaed as an expert wit
ness, relates Tit-Bits.
On cross examination Sir James
Scarlett questioned him as follows:
Now, sir, you say that the two melo-
dies are the same, but different. What
do you mean by that?"
Tom promptly answered:
II said that the notes in the two
copies were alike, but with different
accent, the one being in common time,
the other in six-eighths time, and con-
sequently the position of the accented
notes was different"
Now, pray, sir, don't beat about the
bush, but explain to the jury, who are
supposed to know nothing about music,
the meaning Of what you call accent"
Certainly" said Cooke. Accent in
music is the stress laid upon partic-
ular note, in the same manner as you
would lay stress upon word, for the
purpose Of being understood. Thus, If
I were to say, You are an ass it rests
on ass; but if were to say You are an
ass it rests on you, Sir James"

PLANTATION. Silence at length having been
obtained, the judge, with much gravity
inquired:
Are you satisfied, Sir James?'
Sir James, who had become scarlet
in more than name, in a great huff, re-
piled:
"The witness may stand down."

the other. 'T knew a child that talked

How was that?" asked his friend,
somewhat astonished.

Once Too often.-when Josephus

Once Too Often.-When Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, was at
tending school down at Wilson, N. c., it
was customary every Friday afternoon
for one section OF the school to give
declamations from the platform. One
Friday a dozen of the boys, compris-
ing all that were to speak that day got
their heads together and conceived
the merry prank Of all giving the same
speech, one after another.
The speech they were to give was
the one that starts: "On Linden when
the sun was low, all bloodless lay the
untrodden snow" etc.
BY the time eight or nine Of the joe
ular youngsters had given those i'm
perishable lines, the schoolmaster was
aroused to a considerable state Of ire
and dignity.
He sat through one or two more and
then when the twelfth boy was about
to speak, he promulgated these It'd
ings:
IF another one of you dares give
that same piece he will remain after
school and l shall give him something
that will set him thinking"
Josephus Daniels was the next boy.
He and his companions had entered
into a solemn compact all to give that
same little piece, come what might.
AS he ascended the platform and gaz-
ed at the eager young faces of his &C
completes, Josephus greatly disliked
to be untrue to his pledge. And yet
glance at the grim countenance OF
the schoolmaster suggested to him
that pledges were made to be broken
when unforeseen circumstances war
ranted.
It was q trying situation. For some
moments he stood there wavering. dis
cretion yanking at the anchor Of duty.
And, 10, duty held!

gan:

Eldora, Nov. 11.-Growing tropical
fruit in Hardin county has not as yet
reached the production stage, yet
it is fact that in the center of the
corn belt Of Iowa are today being
grown luscious specimens Of the ba-
mana, fruit generally accepted to
reach it's maturity alone under south
ern skies.
Some time since Charles Vorbeck.
gardener at the industrial school for
boys, just outside the corporate limits
Of Eldora, thought he would expert
ment with the production of some
tropical fruit in this more northern
cline. Watchful care and tender nurs-
ing of this delicate plant worked
largely the same miracle that Is fire.
quently brought about by patience and
kindness in the acclimating of other
fruits out of their natural order. To-
day there is on one Of the plants Mr..
Vorbeck gave such kindly care large
and we'll developed bunch of bananas.
a portion of which he hopes to serve
as part of the dinner to be given
along about holiday time.
The banana plant that has thus
given back to it's protector recon-
pense for his considerate devotion is
of luxuriant growth. apparently never
having given deep concern that it Is
far from it's kindred and kind. The
same soil that produces king corn is
thus shown to have the productive
qualities to bring to maturity fruit
which 1t was believed could not be
grown anywhere else save that it be
famed 10y southern breezes.
