DEEP IN WOODS HEARS
NEWS OF PARENTS DEATH

Joseph H. Ross, wealthy resi-
dent of Audubon, Iowa, in the
thick of the woods near Tofte,
Mimi, was notified yesterday morn
ing that his father had died and
had been buried since he left
home last Friday.
Sunday Ross left the Spalding
with L. E. Simpson and l. P Hal
lock of Brayton, Iowa. for the
Tofte woods on hunting expedi-
ton. Two hours after his depart
ure telegram was received at
the Spalding, telling of the death
of Ross father.
Ross was making the trip to
Tofte on a Booth line boat, which
carried no wireless service. No tele-
graph offices are open at Tofte.
The telephone lines to that place
were reported to lie out of order.
There was nothing left for the
hotel management to do except dis
patch special messengers to Tofte.
John F. Maloy was one of the
messengers sent. Arriving at Tofte
they were at first placed on the
wrong scent, going in an entirely
different direction from that taken
by Ross and his companions. They
finally got trace of him from two
tanners, who said that their man
was at one of three abandoned
logging camps. Ross was found at
the third, just getting. ready to
start on visit to friends camp a.
cross the Temperance river to
reach which round about "trip of
seven miles had to be traversed.
It was 4:30 O'Clock yesterday

A GUARDED TALK
ON COUNTY POLITICS
THE GOLDEN RULE IS APPLICABLE SOMETIMES

look closely, we can all see that
the minority party has more to gain
than any one else by such hap
py condition of affairs.
The subject is of course a rath-
er delicate one. Yet the Journal
ventures the suggestion that it
would like to see it's democratic
friends reverse their policy COM
pletely as regards spoils in the
court house. The simple truth in
the matter is that the Independent
voters of the country will never
be found voting to establish the
spoils system in our court house
|if they know it. Let us recognize
this fact fully, for it is true and
the future of the democratic par
ty in the county depends upon it
since it is the minority party and
must continue to depend upon the
support of Independent voters for
success at the polls. Why not choose
the course that will command the
support of this class of voters
rather than to deliberately choose
the course that will ALLEVIATE them,
as has been done the last three
or four years.
Just as Independent voters can
not be expected to support the
spoils system in local affairs, so nc
independent paper can do SO. The
Journal would have liked to support
some OF the democratic candidates
| this year but could not very well
do so for this reason or for the
further reason that their success
wwould only have meant the pro
longation of the selfish boycott, o1
which it has been the victim at tn,
hands of county democratic Off
cials during the past four years
at wishes its democratic friends
who expected it to support theil
candidates this fall, to understand
this situation clearly.
1t sincerely hopes that the demo
cratic party of Audubon County
may in some way set it's house in
order" to the end that Independent
voters, and incidentally, indepen-
| dent newspapers, can support its
candi dates in the future when as in
the past they are worthy of sup
port. The first logical step in Sc
curing political support is to make
such support possible. And now as
further proof OF our position
turn to the Board Proceedings in
, this issue and see the Advocate
allowed $464.6s. The Journal $63..
So Why? is it fair to the south
lhalf of Audubon County?

OLE \. JACOBSEN SR.

Ole H. Jacobsen was born in the
year of 1888 in Aeror, Denmark,
and departed this life at his home
near kimballton, Iowa, November

Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1916-11-23

The Journal is an independent
paper politically, but it has many
democratic readers. The smoke of
election has cleared away; and it
will do to say things now which
might have created hard feeling if
said during the campaign. {
Last week, reference was made
in these columns to the fact that
probate notices of people who, have
long been residents of the south
part of Audubon County, have been
published in the Advocate exclu-
sively during the past four years.
The Journal did not so much mean
to complain of this kind of treat
ment as to bring out the fact that
our democratic brethren have gone
in pretty strong for "spoils'' in
Audubon County of late. Our
court house has become in a true
sense an inside corporation" pay
ing dividends to democrats only
from the profits of public patronage
Regardless of it's interests in the
case, the Journal does not approve
of this state of things in our pub
lie affairs, nor does it believe
that its democratic readers ais &
class do so. 1t is not true, az
some claim, that the same condi
ton has existed in Audubon Count,
before. The republicans have gen
orally been in the majority in the
court house; but no matter how
strongly they have been intrench
ed there, they have shown a dis
position to give some share al
least of the public patronage tt
their political enemies as we'll az
to their friends. This is fair anc
right, since all are citizens ane
Taxpayers alike.
We are ready, then, to get dowl
to brass tacks. We believe tha
the democrats have made a seriou.
mistake in the management of coun
ty affairs; and it lis liable to re-
turn to plague them in future years
since the republicans, who are il
the majority, have every reason te
use the present example as pre-
cedent. Let us hope that this may
not come to pass, for we do not
wish to see the day when it viii
become the regular custom for an,
one party to "hog it all" in coun
ty affairs. Rather, party lines
should not be so closely drawn IL
county politics. The relations be
tween the two parties should bt
friendlier and fairer than is possible
if either party is trying to exclude
the other completely from any pub
lie patronage whatsoever. If VIZ

P. B. Neuman, an evangelist, was
beaten in his pulpit at the Mount

personal in his remarks about one
of the trustees. "a score of wor-
shippers rose from their seats and
attacked him and hard fight re-
suited, the preacher taking off his
coat and fighting back gamely. Afte
being beaten severely the evange-
list got to his feet with blood pour

The CITY BEAUTIFUL

The CITY BEAUTIFUL
should be thankful for an
other opportunity of ex-
pressing Outwardly the in
ward consciousness of al
Supreme Being the Guide
snd Ruler Of the Universe.
That Extra is not like
many other cities in the
ssGrip of Evil' but has five
Churches which dissemin-
ate the doctrine of Christ
and give religious teachings
to our people.
That another Presiden-
tial election and the true
American Way to let the
majority rule is satisfac-
tory to all Extras citizens.
That all things provid-
ed for the comfort of our
inhabitants by the Hidden
Hand which directs our
course, are plentious for
the need of our every want,
That we have one of
the finest institutions of
learning that can be found
in the state and it is presid-
ed over by teachers who
are here for the good
they can do in preparing
the young of to day for the
eventualities of to morrow.
That our merchants
are prosperous and enjoy
ing a good trade, in the
goods more costly, than on
former years.
This indicates that our
surrounding country folks
are reaping a rich reward
for their labors /; and in the
purchase of their supplies
they are not selfish but
deal fair with all.
From the least to the
greatest of the blessings
we enjoy come rtOsus by and
through the Father Son
and Holy Ghost, to whom
let us in gratitude pray for
a continuance.
