OLD MAN FoFTs COW.

a jury gave a young man named
Foft $1,000 damages against the mayor
of Neville the other day. Young Mr..
Foft had been put in jail by the mayor
of Neville last fall because he drove his
auto thru the town without lights and
lage unillumined by red tail lamps or
the white glare of acetylene. And the
mayor kept him there al! night re-
fusing bond. So they soaked the mayor.
The F'ofts alleged "spitework." Ac-
cordins to their story old Mr.. Foft re-
lated it to be assumed closely to the
Foft who suffered $1,000 worth Of in
generation. or Pa Foft or Uncle
John Foft or "Grampa" Foft once
owned a COW. The Chillon business
endured by the scion of Fcfts traces
back to this ruminant as the Chicago
fire trails to Mrs. O'Learys COW barn
and her mich animal Of t!cklish dis
position. "Grampa" Foft's cow--let's
give the COW to "Grampa''-seeking
food and diversion broke into the en-
Vile. Thru this act of breaking and
entering, probably done by night and
under cover Of darkness, assert the
Foft's, was engendered the feeling that
overbearing sympathy ard ruth
slammed young Foft into the bastile
Of Neville and turned the key, leaving
him to darkness and the profitable Sc
clusion of 800 an hour.
1t is to be regretted that a.! the
circumstances are not set forth in de-
tail. In order to sit in complete judg-
ment on this case somewhat should be
known OF the character Of the COW

typical town cows familiar 10 villagers

REFUSES TO RENlG.
lGrinnell Register.l

We acknowledge the receipt OF
courteous letter from committee OF
four who are endeavoring to defeat
Governor Clarke for the republican
nomination for governor. As we un-
derstand the circular letter which is
being sent to every editor in the state
the sole argument is that Governor
Clarke has offended certain elements
in the republican party and his re-
nomination would imperil the success
OF the republican party because ne
signed the capitol extension bill ana
believes that the valuation OF taxable
property should comply with the law.
There is no attempt to argue that Gov
ernor Clarke was wrong in his posi-
ton but that 1t will lose him votes.
While we are assured that any reply
we might make to the circular letter
would be regarded as confidential we
are perfectly willing to give our reply
all the publicity we can.
We shall continue to support Cover
nor Clarke because he was right IN the
no.ition which he took. More than
that no one can help admiring the per-
fectly ingenious way with which ne
meats the issue without trying to hide
behind ANYBODY or anything, he Ola
sign the bin and he has no apology to
make for it. He prefers to meet the
fact like man; not like politician
who is waiting to see. which way the
wind will veer.
| But 1t may defeat the republican
party in the gubernatorial election.
What is the republican party? Is 1t
something with the essence of divinity
1 in 1t, or Just an organization whereny
certain people hope to obtain gooo
| government? A few years ago there
were many who held the former view;
! now it is not. seriously considered. The
republican party Is right when 1t Is
right and wrong when it - wrong.
| When the republican party 10 right
defeat would 5be disaster; when
wrong II would be- blessing. The I'm
| portant thing 10 being right.
This question has become the issue
Of the campaign. Governor Clarke, and
the legislature. took strong stand FOL
what they believed to be right The
democrats. as = party. are making
fght upon that position. The commit
tee wishes the republicans Of tho state
to abandon their standard bearer, ad.
NIT that they werefin the wrong, and
endorse the democratic position. Tha'
lis unconditional surrender.
II the people Of Iowa want to take
backward step let them make tneil
wishes known attth polls by voting io'
the democratic candidate. But SSs
those who admire Governor Clarke fol
this manly position that he has taken
a CHANCE 10 sag So It IL time enough
ia rive I'm the battle when we ar
whipped.

LIKE A MINORITY PARTY.
rTha Io1ra CITY Citizen

The republicans of Iowa seem 10
be going about the campaign as though
they were members Of a minority party.
Although Senator Cummins apparently
has a good lead over any other pos
sible candidate there are rumors OF
diligent efforts to get some otner
republican of prominence up against
him. There is no possibility Of defeat
ing Governor Clarke for second term
nomination, but a group Of active re-
publicans are trying to do so, notwltn-
standing that. No longer Is II re-
Election on a republican official that ne
has determined opposition for re-nomi-
nation. That is the style this year
The spirit of the times is to take a
knock at everybody in the party as wen
as out of it,
Probably little harm to republicanism
will come of these efforts. The dls-
satisfied republicans will be in better
humor after exploding, and the party
win get together for the fall campaign
with the consciousness that every man
has had his say. But the method TINS
year is not the usual way of organiz-
Ing a winning campaign.

DELIGHTFUL GATHERING
HELD AT HARLAN

The Western Iowa Editorial AS

at Harlan last Friday. Not very

not been for the continued wet spell

The editors were entertained by
the Commercial Club of Harlan and
that live, wide awake body of bus
mess men did a very neat job.
They were assisted by the Avoca
commercial club who had planned
to have the editors visit their city
and also visit the surrounding
country where some 500 or 600 deer
make their headquarters. The
Avoca people had large herd OF
the deer correled in a piece of tim

were taken to this spot to watch the
deer jump the fence. They were
disappointed however, as the deer
had made their getaway, fearing
that some impudent editor might

were. On the return trip to the city

THE BIG EVENT
COMES NEXT WEEK
Tie Great Audubon County Far Be
gins Next Monday ana From All
Appearances Will he II
Hummer

Beginning with Monday of next
week the Audubon County Fair AS
ISOLATION will hold its annual EXPOSE
ton at the delightful fair grounds
adjoining Audubon. to continue until
the close, which this year comes on
Thursday.
The officers of the association have
spared no pains or expense in making
the exposition of 1914 one of special
interest to all of the people of this
rich agricultural county. The var
ious superintendent of the different
departments have been busily en-
gagged booking those who will exhibit.
and making all necessary arrange
ments for the convenience and well
fare of those who will assist in max
ing the fair this year one of the best
and most comprehensive of any of
the fairs held in previous years.
Audubon county is fortunately sit
uated, and the people, as rule, de-
light to make their yearly visits to
this fair. Under ordinary circum-
stances we have large crowds, and IL
Old Sol will give US the kind of wealth
er to which we are so richly entitled
this year, we may look for record
breaking crowds.
The hogs, cattle and horses will be
well represented and all available
space will be utilized. The ass0cia-
tion has raised the premiums in some
of the departments and this will have
a tendency to attract the attention of
the raisers and breeders of the var
ious strains.
We have had good year for crops
and II would not be at all surprising
II we did not get to see some splen-
did specimens of corn. potatoes, grain

who are interested in horse racing
will be given their fill and those who
are interested in other attractions
will be amused from early morning
until late at night.
We extend a cordial invitation to
all the people of Audubon county to
be present at this big fair next week.
We know they will not be disappoint-
ed but they will be so well looked
after, that they will decide to make
visit to the Audubon fair so long
as the association continues to/exist.

to be the big attraction of the fair
this year. The horses and cattle
interest the men as rule, but both
men and women are going to be in
terested in the exhibits of the babies.
Already a, large list of entries have
been field and competent physicians
have been secured to take the babies
in charge. Heretofore the babies
nave been a strong drawing card,
but this year, so many more entries
have been made that the officers of
the association look for continued and

increased interest. These baby con-
tests have proved of great worth
to the people all over the United
States and it is resulting in much
good right here in Audubon county
where the baby contest idea was
first conceived and since promoted
until all states of the union are
clamoring for Contests and exhibits
of this character.
Splendid music will be rendered
every afternoon by bands who have
been well organized and, well

etc. We have seen some mighty good
corn and there will be plenty of COM
petition for the premiums offered in
that division.
The art hall will also show an en-
tirely different class of exhibits this
year. The list of articles has been
revised and brought to-date, and Aud
ubon county women are going to SHOW
what they can do in the homes as
well as the men folks will show what
