HOLDS PALMER INEFFICIENT

II believe it is safe to say that
ore-half of the increased cost of iiv-
ing is due to profiteering, declared
Senator William S. Kenyon, of Iowa
in the senate recently. rs it any
wonder that there is unrest, discord
and discomfort among the people
when they observe the shrinking pur-
chasing power of their earnings and
when they read of the tremendous
profits the profiteers have gathered
to themselves during and since the
WARP" asked Senator Kenyon. "The
department Of justice has the law
and it was its duty TO prosecute the
profiteers. In the committee hear
ings one of the assistant attorney
generals testified that there had been
three people sent to Jail for profiteer-
ing. A few of the big profiteers
landed in jail would have a restrain
ing effect upon future robberies of
the national pirates. 1t has SEEM
ed to me that the attorney general
could have done vastly more by en-
forcing the law il he had not been so
interested in running for the presi-
dency. Congress supposed that it
had given enough law to the attor-
ney general to make effective a cam
paign against profiteering. If the
law is not sufficient there is no
question that congress will enact
more law"

LARGE CROWD PRESENT

Memorial Day was fittingly OBJ
served in Audubon last Monday af-
ternoon. A large crowd gathered
to hear the splendid address given
by Col. Saunders, Of Council Bluffs.
The day was an ideal one which
permitted people to come for many
miles.
Promptly at 1880 the Audubon
Cornet Band met at sthe Bagley
corner where they played a num-
Der of selections while the mem
bers Of the G. A. R., w. R. C. and
the soldiers Of the World War
formed in procession and marched
to the park where the exercises were
held. The marshall Of the day was
d. L. Freeman while Supt. M. M.
McIntire acted as president of the
day. Both filed their places quite
acceptably.
Col. Saunders who is well known
here, made one of the best adj
dresses ever given in this city. He
had some splendid thoughts and
they were well received.

NO POPULAR VOTE is
LEGAL ON AMENDMENTS

The United States supreme court
in an unanimous opinion Tuesday
held that federal constitutional
amendments cannot be submitted To
popular vote for ratification by the
states having referendum provisions
in their constitutions.
The method of ratifying amend
ments, the court held, is a national
pJwer specifically granted by the
federal constitution and the states
have no authority to provide other
wise. In so holding, the court de-
clared imperative provisions of tSe
Ohio state constitution authorizing
submission of federal amendments to
a referendum for ratification, and
overturned the state supreme court
DEGREES Diminishing injunction pro-
ceedings in a tax payers suit to en-
join submission of the prohibition
and woman's suffrage amendments
to a referendum vote.
Next to the cases involving the
validity of the prohibition amend
ment and the enforcement, the Ohio
referendum cases were considered
the most important before the SUI
preme court.
The decision does not affect the
pending prohibition cases.
The courts decision, however,
puts an end to any controversy as
to whether Ohio has ratified both of
the amendments and puts Ohio deffn-
itely in the list of states. approving
each of the amendments.
Power, to ratify a federal amend
ment, according to the courts opin-
ion, which was rendered by Assoc
ciate Justice Day, is derived from
the federal constitution and state
has no authority to designate the
means of ratification.
Justice Day said that, by requir-
ing ratification to be by "legfslat-
ures," the trainers of the constitu-
ton meant the recognized Legislative
body in each state.
After brief executive conference
following the rendering OF the above
opinions the supreme court recessed
until Friday.
While the reason for this was not
stated it was understood to have
been due to the pending proceedings
growing ont OF the appointment Of q
receiver in the Oklahoma-Texas con-
troversy involving rich oil lands in
the Red river valley. A number OF
protests have been filed with the
court asking for modification Of
the Injunction issued in that connec-
ton by the court

FRENCH HONOR U. s. SOLDIERS

Americas war dead in Europe
were eulogized and their graves in
all parts of France were decorated
on Sunday. the second Memorial day
since the close of the great struggle.
American flags fioated in the breeze

10000 soldiers, and allied organiza-

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
WAS A BIG SUCCESS

The last week of school is always
Q busy one and full to the brim of
school affairs. This year 1t seemed
- II the school affairs II possible
were intensified over that of other
years. The week really opened on
Saturday night when the Junior
class banqueted the Seniors and the
faculty. Although a heavy rain
fell only few were prevented from
attending, so that nearly all Of the
one hundred and three places were
Allied. A splendid program of toasts
and answers was provided and the
banquet Itself was one of the best
. ever gin by a Junior class.
PractlOAlly all day Tuesday was
given over to q grade program in
the grammar department. The
program was given three times, first
70 the students of the department.
next to the children of the lower
grades and third to visitors from the
city. At all three of the perform
ances the house was filed. It was
splendid program and has made
the grammar department feel that
they want to again entertain the
public.
Wednesday was given over to the
Seniors az their class day. A pic
mic had been planned at Brayton
woods for the forenoon and field
meet for the afternoon. Because
Of q heavy rain during the morning
both of these were necessarily aban-
doned. However the class had their
class picnic dinner in the gymnas-
Sssw, cnloudfd cIoco vrnUro ~ M
given in the evening to good sized
house.
Thursday was given over to the
formal closing Of high school. The
books were checked up, grades hand
Cd ont, and the final chapel held. At
this chapel meeting speeches were
made BY students and faculty. The
seniors were beginning to show
signs of not being as happy over
the thought that school for them was
nearly over as they had surmised
earlier in the year that they would.
The outstanding number Of the
Thursday evening program WAS the
address by Hon. Geo. w. Clark, ex-
governor Of Iowa. His speech was
hi foyesy but was full OF good solid
Instruction for the outgoing class
and other students present. The
1Quse was packed to hear the splen-
dfd musical numbers, the. fine. adj
dress and see the class receive their
I dlp10mas.

AUDUBON TRIMS WALNUT

The much heralded Walnut base
ball team met defeat at the hands of
the Audubon boys last Sunday by the
3 to route.
The visitors went into the lead
early with three runs and figured
on winning until the locals came
back and took the advantage by one
run. Again they were put out of
the lead by a four score margin but
this, too, was overcome by rally in
the eighth frame and won as stated
above.
The game was exciting through
out by many clever plays by both
sides, much hitting and most Of all
by the rottenness of the umpire
brought along by the visitors, his
"nibs" being responsible for a near
riot along about the sixth inning.
when he was rushed by the crowd
and had II not been for the presence
Of the city and county officers he
might have been roughly handled.
His majesty either knew little of the
rules Of the game or he meant to
give the visitors all the assistance
he dared to in order to help them
win.
~ Such things as occurred at the
game Sunday do much to make the
national game offensive to many and
don't help the home team any
though it was evidently plain there
was much cause for the stampede
but let us hope it may not occur
again.

Monday the home team went to
Atlantic for a game with the locals
there and came home with the short
end Of 10 to 3 game. Our boyb
failed to show any of the stun that
won for them Sunday, the game be-
ing very loosely played by the Au-
dubon boys.
Had 1t not been for the numerous
errors they made the score would
have been different as the Atlantic
pitcher got but three strikeLouts, but
he had perfect support which means
a whole lot toward good ball
game.

HAVNER m AUDUBON

Attorney II. N. Havner Of Des
Moines was in the city last Friday
evening and addressed good sized
audience on the issues of the pres
ent campaign. Mr.. Havner spoke
for a while in the park. but on ac-
count of the cool air, the meeting
was taken to the court house. The
room was well filed. MH
Mr.. Havner is forceful speaker
and placed much emphasis on the
platform he has adopted and on
which he is making his campaign.
This was his first appearance in Au-
dubon, and like Mr.. Deems made
many friends while in the city. It
is safe to state that he made some
votes by his earnest appeal.
