N. E. KENDALL
Republican Candidate Fer Governor

our loss of nationality and indie
pendence and our servility as the
common bailiff of the world-that
will not be opposed by the president
or his obedient proxies.
We said that the chief feature of
the plank was its untruthfulness. In
its closing sentence 1t is altogether
truthful. But it is a question in
which respect it is the more offensive
to every loyal American mind; in
its gratutous disingenuousness and
falsehoods or in the damning truth
which at the end 1t unwittingly
blurts forth.
1t would be merciful to add, IL we
could, "the rest Is silence" But 1t
is not all silence; and where silence
exists, it is more damningly eloquent
than words. The convention had
before it the presidents impassioned
demand that it will say just what it
means on every issue and that it will
not resort either to ambiguity or
evasion in so doing" Yet on the
question of Ireland, over which so
tremendous controversy ragged, 1t
had nothing more to offer than an
unrivalled masterpiece of "ambigu-
ity and evasion" ON the other topic
it did indeed speak plainly. That
was the campaign of agents provo
cateurs, lettres de cachet, thievery,
forgery, torture and fragrant disre-
gard of the constitutional bill of
rights, which has been conducted by
the misnamed department of justice.
To that infamy, which has been con-
demned by the federal bench and by
representative jurists as probaly no
department of the government ever
was before, the democratic conven-
ton gave, from top to bottom, from
center to circumference Its heartiest
approval.
"a platform of peace and pro-
gress," says the New York World. 1t
is, indeed-the Rake's Progress
Harvey's Weekly.

DOESN'T SOUR CREAM

Folks who are trying to deliver
sweet cream to their crearleries
complain now and then that thun-
deratorms sour the cream
The dairy department a: Iowa
State college says that a thunder
storm will have no effect On cream
that is properly Kept at a low tenn
perature. For Example, IL milk aud
cream are kept in cans in a cooling
tank through which flows all water
pumped for the livestock, thun lar
storm will not affect either OF them.
Tho installation OF such cooling
tank is not difficult nor very sxpsn-
sive and ii will make possible added
income from the dairy herd through
better price for sweet cream.
II 10 true, however that Indirectly
thunderstorm sou,s cream which is
not properly kept cool. The atmcs,
phcre at the time of a thunderstorm
is warm and saturated with mois-
ture. There is less evaporation
from the water surrounding the
water surrounding the cream can
and from the cream itself and as q
result the heat accompanying the
thunderstorm is retained by the
cream, which sours.

VOLSTEAD's NOMINATION
Is NOW ASSURED

A court decision adjudging An
drew j. Volstead to be the republican
nominee for congress from the sew
enth Minnesota district may set at
rest the speculation as to who will
succeed him as chairman of his COM
mittee in the sixty-seventh congress.
On the face of the returns Mr.. Vol
stead, who ran as republican, was
defeated by a non-partisan Lacquer,
also running as republican. A
contest based on alleged fair tactics
and practices was. started, and the
Judge who heard the case has decid-
ed that Rev. Mr.. Kvale who appar-
emily defeated Volstead, is mot en-
titled to the nomination because of
the methods he employed to win.
II is interesting right here to note
that the primary election turned on
charges made by Rev. Mr.. Kvale that
Mr.. Volstead is an atheist On the
witness stand the reverend gentle
man admitted that he considered
such charge scandalous, but de-
Tended himself by stating that he
had been informed by minister of
another sect that Mr. Volstead had
been holding communications with
persons though to entertain atheistic
sentiments, and so he felt justified
in accusing his opponent of being an
atheist! The fact was established
that Mr.. Volstead was confirmed i'm
the Lutheran faith, of which church
Mr.. Kvale is a preacher, and that
publicly at least he still processes
that faith.

ADA WARD MAKES JOY
Big Joy Night Attraction for Audu-
bon the Last Day of Chautauqua

The big JOY night program for the
last day of chautauqua this year will
feature Miss Ada Ward, famous
English ecturer-entertained. A
prelude will be given by the Stone
Platt-Brager Trio, company of nov
city melody wizards.
Although only a comparatively re-
cent arrival from England, Miss
Ward is already generally known all
over the United States. The eastern
press dispatches speak of her as "the
greatest platform sensation on the
American platform in ten years"
She was a noted entertainer in her
native England when the war broke
out, and was the first person to be
chosen by the British government to
be sent to the war zone to entertain
the boys in the dark days of 1915.
There the soldiers sainted her. The
war over, she came to America. Ev-
erywhere the crowds fairly went
wild" with enthusiasm. She is ia
miliarly called "the little woman
with the mother face, the home
heart, and the big message"
Her entertainment is series Of
witty stories entitled "You Ameri-
cans"
Her evening is brimful of laughs,
thrills, and worthwhile philosophy.
The chantauqua management urges
chautauqua folks to "hear Ada
Ward and boast of having heard her
to your grandchildren"

JACK JOHNSON rs ARREsTED

Jack Johnson, negro former heavy
weight champion pugilist, crossed
the international boundary line from
Mexico near San Diego, Calf, Tues
day and was arrested by a deputy
United States marshal. Johnson is
under sentence in Chicago for vio-

automobile to the Mexican side Of
the boundary, shook hands with sew
eral Mexican officials, walked to the
American customs house, presented
his passports and stepped across the

pugilist and placed him under ar
rest as he entered the United States.

said: "All right, but say, II is
sure good to get back in the United
States again."

Many Presents on This Occasion

About one hundred friends and
old time neighbors gathered at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jens J. Jen-

little tokens of friendship are great
ly appreciated by Mr.. and Mrs. Jen-
sen and they desire to have us thank
the donors for their kindness.
They have worked hard and faith
fully, and yet have always taken
time to be kind to their neighbors
and friends, and because of their
thoughts of others and their willing
ness to do good to their fellow beings
they have surrounded themselves
with a large circle of close personal
friends, all of whom unite with the
Republican in wishing them many
more delightful wedding annivers-
aries

DOING A GREAT WORK

Driving forty miles through mud
dy roads, young man reached Des
Moines and the Salvation Army
headquarters at nine o'clock We'd
nesday morning. On the back seat
of the car lay child born at one
O'Clock that morning, wrapped in an
old blanket. The mother, betrayed
by the man who should have shielded
her most, did not know of any home
in which she could find refuge dur
ing the time of her trouble, and so,
unknown to the community the child
was born, and its immediate remov-
al was necessary in order to protect
the honor of the mother, who was
from respectable family.
The Salvation Army is willing to
receive any girl, regardless of race or
creed, with our without funds, who
seeks new opportunity in wife. AL
though this child was cared for in
this instance, it is the policy of the
army to care for the mother a suffi-
cient length of time before the ar
rival of the baby, to instruct her in
the Joys as well as the duties of
motherhood and urge her to keep her
child, it being proven by the forty
years experience of the army in res
cue and maternity work, that the
baby is an anchor which holds the
girl to responsibility and duty.
A Salvation Army advisory board
was formed in the county the night
preceding the birth of the child. and
physician who became a member of
the board told the mother of the OPP
portunity of the Salvation Maternity
Home, but too late for the real bene-
fit which these homes can confer up
on betrayed innocence.
The object of the Salvation Army
advisory board in part, is to inform
the public that the army is prepared
to do work of this sort. as well as to
carry on the administration of it's
fourteen other major activities.

HAD TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Delegation From Irwin Visits Audu-
bon and Depart With Honors

A tennis tournament was partici-
pated in at the Audubon Country
Club last Friday afternoon in which
Audubon contested for honors with
a delegation from Irwin. 1t was a
very friendly contest and although
Audubon was quite badly defeated,
yet they were glad to have come in
contact with the visitors.
Tennis has not been very strong
feature at the Country Club, but
since the tournament those who have
been playing the game for years
have determined to get into practice
in order to make a return game
worth while for the Irwin people.
The visitors were mighty fine folks
and we hope they enjoyed their visit
as much as we did their coming oV-
err.
After the tournament was finished
a luncheon and refreshments were
served at which the visitors were
guests of honor
The Irwin visitors were DIR. and

BICYCLES AND COASTER WAGONS

Complaint has been made to this
office that some of our bicycle riders
ride the wrong way of the traffic,
dodge in and out between the cars
parked on Broadway. ride in circles
on the street and monopolize the
sidewalks compelling pedestrians to
get off sidewalks and out of their
way.
To prevent accidents all bicycle
riders are warned to keep on the
right side of streets, take care to go
around the signal posts the same as
automobiles, and to give pedestrians
the right of way on sidewalks.
Children riding in coaster wagons
should be careful of the rights of
others on the sidewalks, especially
our older people. and under no cir
cumstances should coast across
street intersections.
Parents are urged to impress the
need and necessity on their children
of complying with the above. Seri-
Gus accidents will thus be avoided.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Inc american farm Bureau feder-
alton, with approximately 1880, 900
farmer members in 80 states has ar
ranged conference, to open in Chi
cago on July 23rd to discuss plans
for farmers national selling agen-
cy. The purpose, according to a
statement issued by the federation is
to lower the cost of living by curbing
speculation and reducing violent
market fluctuations.
The cost of living question makes
the subject of interest to almost ev-
cry individual in the nation. If CO.
operative marketing will actually
lower the cost of living the public will
be for 1t. We wish only to be con-
WINGED. Opposition is expected from
brokers and commission men. They
naturally will take the stand that
such national organization for CO.
operative marketing will quickly de-
velop into a farmers trust. There
Is some danger of such a develop
ment, but the danger seems to be NO
greater than that now ecountered in
the present system of food specula-
ton.
When a Spectator or a group of
spectators is able to buy up an es-
sential food commodity, 1t is able
largely to overcome the natural
working of the law of supply and de-
rnand, inasmuch as 1t thus controls
the supply. That seems to be one
point where a farmers cooperative
marketing agency would be of value.
With each individual producer retain
ing control of his fraction of the
fnfn NJ 1u fn he
rent season, ii seems that production
would logically be based upon de-
mand. Such an arrangement would
be likely to reduce prices.
V There is no doubt that co-opera-
tive marketing arrangements have
worked to the advantage of farmers
in many experiments so far tried. In
the Durham settlement OF California,
for instance, cooperative dairy facil-
titles have provided a market for
dairy products with reputation for
quality which commands a higher
price in the open market than simil-
ar products from Independent farm
ers. Cooperative cold storage IA
cilities there have enabled the farm
ers to store their products In small
quantities until they accumulated
enough to make a sale worth while.
The consumer profited by the elimin-
alton Of the middleman.
In New South Wales the state has
established cooperative packing
plants, butter factories, and canning
factories. Its supervision prevents
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade and at the same time gives the
farmer a medium for the marketing
of his products which assures him of
profit and protection. This stimu-
lates production and reduces mark
citing expense, thus aiding the con-
sumner.
These illustrations do not prove
the case for the advocates of coop
erative marketing, but they do justi-
fly a willingness to let the farmer
state his case. II he can reduce the
cost of living and at the same time
improve his own condition, no pre-
JUDGE should be allowed to stand in
his way.

A "WET, CATSPAW

Governor COX, we are told, is
wet" candidate. That is to say
he is against prohibition. He may
not, indeed, abrogate the Eighteenth
Amendment, nor reverse the decision
of the supreme court. But he is
wet" and his nomination was a
triumph for the "wets," and his
election would make the "wet" vic.
tory complete. So we are told, not by
his opponents but by his friends, who
chortle in their glee at the way in
which they put 1t over Mr.. Bryan and
the Anti-Saloon League by nominal
ing him for the presidency.
Now, We do not know nor we par
ticufarly care what Governor Cox's
personal convictions on the subject
are, nor what his attitude is toward
the eighteenth amendment, nor YET
what it would be If he were elected
president. To our mind the ratifl.
cation of the amendment and the de-
cision of the supreme court have dis.
posed OF the matter. excepting, OF
course, so far as 1t is RENTED tC
congress for possible changes in the
enforcement act. But IL does seem
to us that in so volubly and vocifer-
ously exploiting Governor Cox's al
legged humidity, the various local
bosses who nominated him are sim
ply using him as a catspaw to pull
their own parochial chestnuts out OF
the fire.
They know perfectly we'll that the
election of a "wet" president would
not and could not reopen the saloons
and breweries and distilleries. But
they also know that the turning
down" of Mr.. Bryan and the nomina-
tion of a reputed "wet" candidate
will greatly enhance and confirm the
local prestige and power of Mr..
Murphy in New York, and Mr.. Nu-
gent in New Jersey, and Mr.. Bren-
nan In Chicago, and the other ma
chine-operating bosses in the large
cities. That is why all those gem
tleme4 were in favor of Mr.. Cox, and
why they got together at French
Lick and laid plans for hornswog-
ling the convention into nominating
him. 1t will confirm their grip upon
their local and state machines; and
perhaps it will embolden. their fol-
lowers to sell booze on the SLY with
a little more assurance than they
would have felt had dry" candi-
date been nominated.
That is all there is in it. OF
course, the playing of so gigantic
and cynical bunko game upon the
"wets" is not a self-redeeming per-
Torrance. nor does 1t invest with the
beauty of holiness the nomination
which was made by the bosses for
such purpose. Il makes the whole
business seem unspeakably sordid
and mendacious. Mr.. Bryan was at
least sincere in his advocacy OF a
platform plank approving the prohi-
bition amendment, and he reason
ably held that its adoption would 60
far toward assuring effective enforce
ment of the law. But the wet"
bosses did not dare to adopt an an
ti-prohibition plank, but left the
platform silent on that subject, so
that the party could say Good
Lord!" and Good Devil!" accord
ing to its plight; and then nominat-
ed man whom they could exploit
as wet" for home consumption.
1t was, they doubtless thought, a
smart performance. 1t was: about
as smart as that OF the man who
tried to sit upon two stools at once.
