A New Wrinkle.

A new wrinkle and one which
may not be very enthusiastically re-
ceived by post Office clerks Is being
considered by the postmaster gener-
al. He is considering the adoption
of a new form of post card, which
will show not only the ordinary
street address of the recipient, but
his telephone number also, accord
ing to news from Washington. Up
on it's arrival at it's destination, a
clerk would Immediately call up the
telephone number and ask for the
person to whom the card is address,
ed and read the message, after
which the card would be delivered
in the usual way. The card would
bear a special stamp, costing five
cents, and would have preference
over other first-class mail matter in
the same manner the special deliv-
cry letters do now. A reply postal
card would be 10 cents. The num-
Der of words might be limited, and
no liability assumed by the postal
other than that now
borne in the special delivery letter.

and the people Of the county would
make a very poor bargain by ex-
changing him for some untried and
unknown candidate. Mr.. Peterson's
experience in the Office is worth
much to the people. He has master
ed every detail and knows all about
the drainage matters of the county.
He is an encyclopaedia upon matters
pertaining to the auditors office and
if anybody having business with the
office wants to know anything In
with it Auditor Peterson
can generally tell him off-hand; If
not, he knows right where to lay his
hands upon the records and the in
formation is forthcoming promptly.

The County Auditor,

The office of auditor is the most
important position within the gift
of any county. In counties like
Polk, the responsibility of the audi
tor can not be over estimated.
A thoroughly wide awake, honest
and aggressive county auditor for
the county of Polk would be worth
to this county $4,000 per year.
1t too often happens that the peo-
pie give little attention to the Sc
lection of an auditor. We are not
advocating any candidate for the
county Of Polk but we are warning
business men, taxpayers and the cit
izenship generally in regard to the
importance of this Office.
What are the voters of Polk coun-
ty going to do with regard to the
auditors office?
If things go wrong, we can't lay
the blame onto Governor Clarke or
anybody else. We must take the re-
sponsibility ourselves and discharge
our duties when it comes to filling
the office of county auditor.-Des
Monies Capital.
The Freeman-Tribune agrees with
every line of the foregoing except
the statement that the auditor is
the most important position in the
county. We believe the most i'm
portant position is that Of member
Of the board of supervisors. The
people ought always select the best
for every office, but when it comes
to a member of the board extra pre-
caution should be taken. However,
the Freeman-Tribune wants to call
the attention of the people of Ham,
ilton county to the advisability of Sc
lecting a competent man for auditor.
1t is the most difficult Office in the
county to fill and requires more
work than any other. Never in the
history of the county was it filled
more ably or more satisfactorily
than now and Hamilton county has
in the past had some of the best Of
ficers in that position of any county
In the state. As we look back over
the list it might be thought by some
that it would be impossible to equal
it, but the Freeman-Tribune believes
the present incumbent is worthy to
a place by the side of the best of
them. Auditor Peterson Is capable,

Mayor Thoreson has Some Thrills.

Ellsworth News: Mayor Thoreson
pulled off an acrobatic stunt here
Wednesday morning that would
make the famous Webster City Black
Bros. look like bunch of rheuma-
tics.
And besides, if Barney Oldfield
had been in the vicinity he would
have handed over his medals in a
minute.
1t happened somewhat thusly;
Carl had lacked up the rear OF a
car, started the engine, threw in
the clutch and the wheels were re-
volving fast enough so the speed
limit of Chicago would have been
broken into smithereens.
Carl wasn't doing this speed
stunt for fun but was adjusting it,
having just unloaded it few days
previous.
About the time the car was push
ing along at about 1875 miles an
hour, the jack gave way and let the
wheels down on the. concrete floor.
There seemed to be enough sand in
the concrete so the wheels didn't
slip, and the car started toward the
front end of the garage at about 925
miles a minute.
When the car hit the floor and
started toward the wall, Carl made
a flying leap that would have made
timber squirrel sick with jealousy,
and he alighted with his feet in the
air and his hands on the rudder
wheel. The excited auto wasn't
making any pretensions of looking
where it was going and without the
human catapult pulling at the steer
ing gear, would have soon made a
hole in the side of the Bennett hard
ware store that would have cost $500
to repair.
But the mind is quicker than the
eye sometimes and Carl figured if
the car wasn't guided, it would cost
thousand dollars for a new build
ing and practically the same for a
new car. If he got in and got
smashed up very badly, the insurance
would pay the bill, whereas If he
stayed out, the entire expense would
fall on him.
Well, he steered the car for the
front door and came out faster than

red Friday at the Berogan home

led Mr.. Berogan to the afternoon

Berogan, went to Des Moines. Mr..
Berogan has been in very poor
health for some time and he went to
the capital city to undergo an ex-
animation at the Methodist hospital.
1t Is probable that he will submit to
surgical operation. Mr.. Berogan
is suffering with prostate troubles.

held this most laborious and mos
thankless Office, Judge Maxwell wa!
a subject of much criticism; bu
there is not a man among us who
would today express doubt that he
always acted from conscientious
motives, aiming to do his duty by
the people he was serving. 1t is al.
SO a question whether what he did
do was not at the time the best that
could be done under all the circum-
stances of conflicting interests. Ger
tain it is that he gave the county a
prudent and economical administra-
ton, and never wasted or misappro-
priated dollar of its funds. One
of these days we shall doubtless
have local historian, who will find
enough in our apparently short and
simple annals to fill great quarto
volume. If such a task is ever I'M
dertaken, Judge Maxwells acts can
not be ignored or escape scrutiny;
but his record will bring only praise
and not censure upon his memory.
"His private life was pure, up
right, praiseworthy in all respects.
He was kind husband, a most ten
der and affectionate parent, and a
sincere, sympathizing, reliable, abid-
ing friend. He took deep interest
in all of the local concerns of Web
ster City and Hamilton county, and
every step of our upward and on
ward progress gladdened his heart.
He had long been protesting Chris
tian, remarkable for his unaffected
piety and his firm faith in the prom
ises of the Divine Master. His pas
tor visiting him only very few
days before his death, found him
with clear mind. His preparation
for the great change which awaits
us all was perfect and complete. He
had no doubt of a better life beyond
the grave. His death-bed was tri-
umphant one.
sc The chamber where the good man
met his fate
Was privileged beyond the common
walk,
Of virtuous life, quite in the verge
of heav'n. |
Judge Maxwell was born in
county, Virginia, in
1908, and was therefore seventy
four years of age. He removed to
Tennessee, and thence to Edgar
county, ILL.,, where he resided until
1854, when he settled in this coun-
ty. He enjoyed the personal ac-
quaintance of two presidents-Abra-
ham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson"
May 10, 1882, A. NJ. Potter, for

was born in Oneida county, New

City in 1865, since which time he
had been a continuous resident. His
wife had died two years previous to

that he was entitled to the governors
pay. Jorgenson asked Attorney Gen

was right. 1t is understood that Jor-

Kraabel until the return of Governor
Hanna to the state.
