cupation of the power of president,
with all his authorities and peroga-
tives. Mr.. Lansing-President Lam
sing for the day--will be empowered
to occupy the White House, to issue
pardons, to attend to all the other
business of which the cheif executive
has control, and to ride to the capitol
should he desire, as the outgoing pre-
sident on Inauguration day.
Moreover, this is the first time In
the history of the nation that a sec
rotary of state has had this honor be-
slowed upon him, and only the second
time in the 140 years of existence or
the United States that the Office has
been held by anyone other than the
president or the vice president. The
previous incident was in 1849, when
United States Senator David Rice
Atchison of Liberty, Md, as president
pro TIM. of the senate, succeeded to
the vice presidency and presidency In
turn when the terms of Polk and Dali
las expired, and held the Office over
Sunday until Zachary Taylor was In
augurated.
The commission issued by the pre-
sident to Mr.. Lansing specifies no
term whatever, although it contains
the phrase during the pleasure or
| the president of the United States for
the time being" The reasons for
this saving clause are quite apparent,
and the mention of the name of Will
liam Jennings Bryan in the message
of the president to the senate caused
one to wonder whether the Nebras-
kan was aware that, If he remained
in Office until March A, next, he would
be the twenty-sixth president of the
| United States-if only for day.

BRYAN MIGHT HAVE
BEEN THE PRESIDENT

New York Tribune: The next presi-
dent of the United States will be Rob-
ert Lansing of New York, the pres
ent secretary of state.
This is not in the nature of wild
political prediction, nor is it the in
auguration of boom for a democra-
tic dark horse" 1t is merely the
statement of fact which, barring
the death or resignation of Secretary
Lansing, is as certain as anything can
be.
Mr.. Lansing's term of Office does
not depend upon the action of any
political convention; it is likewise
irrespective of any primary or direct
election. In point of fact, it dates
back to 1886, when congress passed
an act providing that in the event OF
the death, removal, resignation or in
ability of both the president and the
vice president of the United States,
the secretary of state shall act as
president.
March 4, 1917, will fall upon a
Sunday, and it is contrary to all pre-
cedent-although not in opposition
to any law-to hold an Inauguration
on Sunday. Therefore the incoming
chef executive will take the oath OF
office and commence his term shortly
after noon on March 5. President
Wilson's term commenced at noon on
March 4, 1918; therefore, according
to the constitution, which defines the
term of a president as -four years."
his tenure of Office will be over at
noon on March 4, and, even If he is
elected to succeed himself, he cannot
take the oath of Office until noon on
the following day, Vice President
Marshall, of course, is under the
same disability as the president.
Therefore the secretary of state, Mr..
Lansing, will be president of the Unit
ed States for the twenty-four hours
and some minutes elapsing between
noon on Sunday, March A, and the
time that the new president takes the
oath of Office on the following day.
( This brief term of Office is not a
mere Formally. 1t is an actual oc-

clone last Saturday afternoon shortly
after two O'Clock and the storm was
so severe the town was almost com
pletely demolished. Adolph Wolf

Quite number of Audubon people
have interests i'm and around Yuma

buildings and crops. Mr.. Wolf wrote
letters to his brother, Charles, A

letters he fails to say anything about
the damage to the crops, but says
winter wheat is looking fine. All oil
Adolph's friends are glad to Learn

BEAUTIFY THE CEMETERIES

AS Decoration Day approaches,
thoughts of cemetery Identification
occupy the public, as scarcely a fam
lily in the community exists that does
not think tenderly of mound in
Audubon or some other cemetery. A
force of men have been busy the past
few weeks getting the grass and
grounds in the three cemeteries in
good shape for Memorial Day. The
planting of various kinds of plants
and shrubbery in the main part, and
the secluded spots of the cemetery,
adds very much to the Identification
of the grounds.
People owning lots in the ceme-
teries should see to 1t, that they are
kept in good condition, not only for
Decoration Day, but throughout the
entire year in honor of and out of
respect to their departed loved ones.

WILSON CASE Is
NOW ON TRIAL
Wilson, Who Claimed He Was Fleece
ed Ont of His Land Seeks to Re-
cover Loss i'm Court


The case brought by the guardian
of George Wilson, the Audubon coun-
ty old soldier, against Mr.. and Mrs.
C. M. Reecer of Omaha, who are
charged with defrauding Wilson out
of his farm land which he owned in
Lincoln township, and also farm in
Shelby county, went to trial in the
district court of Shelby county at
Harlan Monday. The action is to set
aside the deeds.
There is formidable array of de-
positions, about 800 pages of them,
to be introduced for the plaintiff The
defense states ii has no dispositions,
but will rely upon the testimony of
the defendants to clear them of all
charges of guilt. 1t is claimed by the
defense that they expect to prove by
the dispositions of the plaintiff that
the transactions between Wilson and
Reeser were entirely legal and above
suspicion. The defense claims it will
show by Reeser's testimony, for one
thing, that it was Reeser himself
who went to South Dakota and found
Wilson and brought him back at the
time it was believed by Wilson's
friends in Audubon and Shelby coun-
ties that he was dead They ridicule
the proposition that Wilson was con-
fronted by pseudo sheriff and coun-
ty attorney and compelled to surren-
der his wealth to avoid prosecution.
Included in the deposition of At
torney John o. Yeiser of Omaha, is
statement prepared by Yeiser at
the time that Wilson sought his help
in having the order of the court ap-
pointing an administrator for his es-
tate, revoked.
According to the statement of the
defense Wilson spent much time at
the Reeser home where he was a
guest. 1t is claimed they have letters
showing Wilson's business in South
Dakota was 1uying hors.s and mules
