First Excitement Sunday Since
Their Residence i'm Audubon

A cutting scrape took place at the
falr grounds last Sunday evening be-
tween number of negroes and Mex

game of cards and craps were indulg-

| been some ''sweetning of the pot"
and when a colored gentleman by the
name of Brown won the pot. a fight
ensued. He was badly cut about the
/ head and his hand was badly LAGER
ated.
Cries of murder and help were
J heard by the residents in the vicinity
! of the fair grounds. but little atten-
ton was paid to it. Finally word
was sent to the sheriff who went to
investigate but he found no one who
knew anything definitely about the

BEEN LOCATED

Word reached Audubon this morn
ing that j. II. Ross who went on a
hunting expedition to Minnesota last
Friday, was located and that he would
start for Cedar Rapids at once with
the intention of reaching there in
time to attend the funeral of his
father who died suddenly last Sun
day. Funeral arrangements had been
made to take place this afternoon. but
since the son has been located it is
quite probable that services will be
postponed until tomorrow.

The State Board of Equalization
has sent a letter to the assessors OF
Kentucky, calling their attention to
the requirements of the law and the
maner in which tax lists should be
taken. Co-incidentally, this is a
matter which The Herald has dis
cussed quite a few times. We have
contended for years that we believ-
ed the frequently lax methods en-
ployed by assessors or their assist
ants had much to do with our tax
troubles. The man who takes the
lists should make it a rather person
al matter and see that he gets all
that is taxable. In the assessors of
Kentucky rests the power to greatly
ameliorate our tax veXations and Of
fend nobody in so doing.

IMTEllECTS TO CLASH
IN COMING CAMPAIGN
Democrats To CaIIs.Upon Prize
Orators OF Party TosCom-
bat Republicans.

st. Louis, June 17.-Democratit
leaders looking forward to the cam.
! paign, are virtually in accord that il
will be marked with inspiring ora
tory, a clash of intellects between
President Wilson and Mr.. Hughes
and markedly free from personali-
ties.
None of the Democrats thinks of
belittling the ability of Mr.. Hughes
as campaigner. They have not
forgotten his campaigns in New
York, nor his speech in Youngstown,
Ohio, in 1908, when he opened the
fight for Mr.. Taft. They also realize
his physical fitness to go into four
months campaign.
To meet Mr.. Hughes and the Re-
publican campaigners behind him
they expect to call upon the best in
the Democratic party. Whether he
personally will go into the campaign
will be decided by the President
only, but it is probable that an eff
fort will be made to get him to
speak, for no matter how much the
leaders may rely on other leading
Democrats, they realize the weight
of direct word of the President.
Democratic leaders recall that al
though there has been some argu-
ment against President taking the
stump in a campaign for reelection,
precedents are not lacking. They
pointed out that Mr.. Taft made
many trips throughout the East in
the battle for convention delegates
with Colonel Roosevelt, and that
his appearance resulted in one of the
most spectacular, personal aad bit
ter campaigns in political history,
during which the two candidates fol-
lowed each Other through State after
State.
Nothing is further from their
thoughts than a similar campaign,
but Mr.. Wilson W II almost Ger .:nly
he asked to c,ntrihute by some ac-
tive participation, 20 Offset auy ad-
vantage the republicans ma: gain
from the speeches OF a man who las

Boston, June 1.-THE parcel posi-

ing up corporations that in a few
years will overshadow the largest
trusts of the present time, is the
opinion of committee of the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' Associa-

pense of thousands of small country

The coming Presidential campaign
seems destined to be devoid of the
pyrotecnics and drum-beating which
usually accompany such demonstra-
lions for the benefit Of the voters.
Both candidates for President are
pretty much of the same tempera-
ment and indications are that it will
be a clean campaign. Patriotism
will be aroused to high pitch-but
we are all Americans and probably
neither candidate will be able to say
anything along this line that cannot
be endorsed by the other. AS for
American traditions and honor,
President Wilson has shown what
he can and will do. Mr.. Hughes is
merely promising.

eating a total of about S2,2OS, O0O,-
900 for the year. Net revenue from
railway operatings during the ten
months was $970.OO1, OS2, but de-
ductions for tax accruals and un-
collectible revenues brought the rec
orded operating income to ss4S.542,-

Operating income per mile of road
was $3,7O3 for the ten months. COM
pared with $4,000 in the same Pc
riod last year.

Col. Teddy Roosevelt is still pussy
footing around to find an easy cor.
ner in which to stand and has not
yet endorsed the candidacy of Mr..
Hughes. Perhaps the most remark
able event in all his career happen
ed last week. A small army OF
newspaper reporters and camera
men went to interview him and he
absolutely refused to have his pic
ture taken. Just think of it! Some
thing he never did before. He GER
tainly must be reduced to hard
straits to refuse the enticements of
the photo film. Soon, it seems, there
will be none to do him political
honor.

GIRL CONFESSES SHE
HID BABY IN SHOE BOX

Evansville, Ind, June 1.-THE
arrest of Nellie Bowling, pretty
eighteen-year-old girl, at Norton

the mystery of the finding early this
morning of a three weeks-old babe
in shoe box on bench in the ward
of Mrs. John Bender in this city.
The authorities of Nortonville said
over long-distance telephone that
the girl admitted that she had left
her nameless child here. The FAM

Not for many years have farmers
gotten such good prices for the prod
ucts of their work as in the present
times. If good prices do not mean
prosperity. what do they mean? Isn't
there a wide difference between the
present times and other days? True,
the word has gone out from Repub-
lican headquarters that all adher-
ents to the faith must cry hard
times and low wages. in order to dis
credit the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson. but who can deny the
facts when they are SO plainly
shown? Can't you remember the
time under Republican administra-
ton when you couldn't even get
your own money out of the bank?

why did you not put legislation
of this character on the statute
books when you were in power?'
asked Representative Hensley, OF
Missouri. of the Republican member
ship of the House in a recent speech
upon the rural credits bill. 1T was
needed then as badly as it is needed
now, but you refused to respond to
the peoples demand. You were
either not concerned about the needs
of this great body of people-the
farmers of America-whom this leg
islation is intended to aid. or you
were willing to see the money chang
ers gouge them to the extent of mil
lions annually"

seems to be this difference between

Hughes uses the word to juggle
with.

IL looks now like that term
"Americanism" is going to be run
out of the dictionary and into the
ground, or somewhere else where it
will be shorn of its real meaning ex-
cept as understood by certain poll
ticians. There is nobody in these
United States who believes more in
Americanism in its true sense, or
has practiced II more during his
whole life-and especially the past
few years-than Woodrow Wilson.
And now comes Mr.. Hughes, the Re-
publican candidate for President,
with the announcement that he
stands for pure. unadulterated
Amerioanism." and proclaims IL as
the issue of the campaign. There
