IN THE SHADOW
OF DEFEAT

A few weeks since, the Journal in
its Weather Eye department sug-
gested that the political plot which
was being incubatcd in Audubon
County should be called off and
that the men who were fathering it
should step aside. The invitation
was only partially accepted; and
that part of the scheme that seemed
most promising to its authors is APP
parently being carried out in the
most brazen and shameless disre-
gard Of the wishes of the people of
the county.
The Journal does not believe that
the Dan Of these men can win,
though it thinks it sees clearly to
the uttermost depths Of the plot and
is willing to concede that it is clev-
erly conceived and may not be easy
to defeat.
II the scheme works out as in
tended by its authors, two results
arc inevitable. The first.is that the
republican party is slated for dis
astrous setback in Audubon Coun-
ty; and the other is that the man
or men who are engineering the
deal will be known for what they
are and will be unable to square
themselves with the party that they
have betrayed.
The Journal suggests again that
the whole project should be drop
ped. Otherwise some new chapters
in local political history are about
to be written. At least it desires
at this time to submit fairly to the
hackers of the scheme the alterna-
tive of calling it off or having the
light of day turned not only upon
it but upon everything that has
occurred within the past several
years leading up to it.

OUR WEATHER EYE
Another Good Name

The candidacy of Mr.. F. C.
Sampson for representative seems
worthy of the thoughtful attention
not only of the republicans of Aud
ubon County but of all other citi-
zens as WE'LL.
MIR. SIMPSONS life has been spent
on an Audubon County farm. Not
by any stretch of the imagination
can he be thought Of as politician.
Rather, he belongs to the numerous
class Of good citizens who hate and
despise politicians generally. He
brings clean record and host of
friends, all of whom bear witness
that he is an honest man OF high
ability and sound judgment, and
an untiring worker for those things
that will promote the common good
and benefit his fellow men.
He was the first secretary of the
Audubon County Farm Bureau and
one OF the most active workers for
this movement in southwestern
Iowa. He sees in it the most effec-
tive, if not the only means, of Sc
curing a fair hearing and q proper
consideration at Washington of the
vital interests of the farmers of the
nation. Events of the past year or
two have demonstrated how accur-
ate is this diagnosis of the situation.
He sees the great danger that mem
bers OF the Federation may become
impatient and demand results more
quickly than they can be secured;
and he is one of those who will be
found patiently counseliDg his fell
lows to cleave steadfastly to the
faith that is in them, to stand firm,
and, having done all, to stand. In
short, he adds to keen perception
and mature judgment, q quiet per-
sistence and cool determination that
will not become discouraged nor be
denied.
In war time, he was loyal citi-
zen, sustaining and supporting those
who fought for and worked for
Uncle Sam, rather than those who
secretly and covertly sought to
weaken and destroy him.
These are the facts regarding him
as the Journal has gathered them.
1t may be we'll for our readers to
preserve them against the time
when others less worthy will at
tempt to discredit him, as they
doubtless will in the south part Of
the county where he is not so we'll
known as elsewhere.

Building Many Silos

Probably there is no man in the
county better known than A. T.
Rasmussen of Brayton who manu-
factules silos. Mr.. Rasmussen had
planned to build a factory this
spring but has had so many orders
for silos that he has had to aban-
don the project as his time is en-
tlrely taken up in supplying the
depand for silos. The farmers are
waking up to the economy of saving
the green food for winter feeding
and the benefit to the stock as well
and Mr.. Rasmussen is crowded
with the work of manufacturing the
silos ordered.

force she could put into it if she
had the material to work with.
If the child today is to compete
with the man of tomorrow he must
be prepared to do so, and the only
way he can be prepared to do so is
by building a good firm foundation
today such as can be secured only
in the best equipped schools of today
No school district in Iowa, which
has teen organized as a consolida-
ted district, has ever returned to
the old one-room type of school, in
fact in many cases the cry for ad
mission to the consolidated district
has come so strongly from the dis
trlcts outside that the district has
been forced to enlarge itself so as to
take in more territory and serve
more people. Consolidation is the
only logical solution for the teacher
shortage problem which is facing
the United States today.
1t is time for the people of Extra
and the surrounding country to
take up this matter and to give it
their thorough consideration.
