TWO CLASSES
OPPOSE HOWE.

Opposition which has developed to the
candidacy of Professor Howe IS practi-
cally confined TO two classes Of voters,
those who are unalterably opposed to
making an executive out of college pro-
fessor and those who are ulaiterably op-
posed TO the supporters of Professor
Howe, who now number almost all Of
those politicians who have heretofore
successfully stood with the Jewett ad-
mlnistration.
The first class Of Professor Howe's op-
ponents declare that after having spent
about four years under the national gov
ernment OF a college president, they will
never again support that type OF man for
an executive office. They say 1t is
strangely inconsistent for the Repub-
llcans to base years of criticism OF Presi-
dent Wilson on the grounds that his
acts were those OF college head rather
than governmental head and then turn
around and nominate q college head for
mayor.
The second group of Howe opponents
consists Of that ever growing part of the
population of indianapolis that has
realized the complete failure Of the jew

MEN WILL GET REWARD
Canvass of County to Assist
Soldiers.

Starting Monday, April 18th, and
continuing until Monday, May 30th,
the Iowa Department of the Ameri-
can Legion will stage a Compensa-
ton and disqualification Drive. This
will be the most comprehensive eff
fort ever put forth by any State De-
partment of the American Legion.
State Headquarters has prepared a
QUESTIONABLE and a house to house
canvass will be made to see that this
is filled out by every ex-service man
or woman in the State of Iowa. The
questions asked are numerous and
the work will be greatly facilitated
IL the former army and navy people
of this county will brush up on some
of the following questions: Date
and place of enlistment, date and
place of discharge, serial NUMBER
organization, etc.
State headquarters has divided the
state into districts. The members of
the state executive committee will
have charge of these districts and
they in turn will appoint county
chairmen to see that a house to
house canvass will be made in each
county. The actual work of filling
out the missionaries will be in
charge of the local Posts throughout
the state.
All blanks will be gone over, class
flied and worked upon Immediately
by the Service Bureau of department
headquarters with a view to immed-
late action by the Government. This
will enable the various bureaus at
Washington to come to the ex-ser-
vice man instead of the ex-service,
man going to the Government as has
been the case in the past.
In this county each of the four
American Legion Posts will make a
complete canvass 10 secure the infor-
nation desired. Each post has been
assigned the territory Immediately
surrounding the town in which they
are located. Audubon Post will have
the assistance of the Women's Aux
Hilary.

LARGE SUMS ARE WASTED

Wastes amounting to S1,000,00O,-
100000 annually were laid to man
agerial inefficiency on American
railroads in detailed exhibit placed
before the railroad labor board in
Chicago Wednesday, as part of union
labor's fight against a reduction OF
wages. Recoverable wastes were es-
timated by the employees at $57S,-
500, 900 year, and other wastes, inn
possible of estimation, would equal
that amount, it was declared.
The employees point out alleged
wastes in the present railroad ad-
ministrations and maintain that IL
these deficiencies and defaults in
management were redressed and re-
paired, there would remain no reason
for attempting to reduce wages. AS
a method of correcting wasteful
methods and increasing the efficien-
cy of employees, the exhibit advocat-
ed cooperative effort between man
agement and workers and added
that this cooperation could best be
obtained through the medium of un-
form agreements reached for col
lective bargaining.

GROCER SELLS BUSINESS
One Of the Best Known Firms In
Southwestern Iowa to Quit
Business Soon.

A deal was consumated last week
in which G.. w. Preston, for thirty
years grocer in Audubon. disposed
OF his business TO z. p Mansfield,
of Norton, Kansas. While the deal
was made at this time, possession
will not be given until the first Of
May.
Mr.. Preston has been in the ex-
elusive grocery business in Audubon
thirty years, two years he operated
in the building now occupied by the
Carter Hardware Co., but the past
twenty-eight years he has been con-
Quoting his business at his present
location on South Park. Perhaps
no other grocer in southwestern
Iowa is as we'll known as Mr.. Pres
ton. While he has not been finan-
cial wizard in the business, yet he
has accumulated sufficiently to en-
able him to retire and enjoy his re-
naming years in comfort. He will
spend year or so visiting relatives
and taking a much-needed rest from
business cares, and may later decide
to spend a part of his time in CAL
ifornia.
His successor, f. p. Mansfield,
has had much experience in business
and comes to Audubon highly rec
commended. We extend to him
hearty welcome and trust that his
stay among us will be as pleasant as
he had anticipated. We know one
thing-that he could not have found
better town in the state in which
to locate, and on the other hand
could not have acquired more de-
sirable business than he purchased
from Mr.. Preston.
1t will seem strange not to number
Mr.. Preston among the business men
of the town, for he has been
so long and so closely identified
with the growth and development of
the town that 1t will seem very un-
natural There is one consolation,
however, in HIS retirement-his son,
Edward Preston, is going to remain
with the new firm.

PLASTER FALLS IN COURT
HOUSE AT KNOXVILLE

Three persons standing in the ro-
tunda of the court house at Knox
VILE were seriously injured and mar
rowly escaped death at $3.50 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon, when huge slab
of plaster weighing 1000 pounds
gave way in the dome and crashed
four stories onto them before the
victims were aware of their danger.
The injured are:
Everett Hardin, farmer, frac-
tured right thigh and scalp wound.
Ben Lon, farmer. sprained back,
scalp wounds and nerve shock.
James MILKY, retired farmer,
slight bruises about the body.
The three men were conversing
when the plaster, which residents
believe had been loosened during
the blizzard last week, suddenly
gave way. 1t fell in one large slab.
witnesses say, striking an iron rail-
ing on the third floor, breaking into
small pieces about the size Of bricks
and literally burying the victims in
debris.
The crash was heard by all three
men but before they realized what
had happened the weighty mass of
plaster had fallen upon them,
knocking them to the floor. II is
believed death would have resulted
had the plaster fallen the entire
distance In one piece. First aid
was given the men until doctors
arrived. None are believed 20 be
fatally Injured.

SCHOOL PRESIDENTS
ELECT OFFICIAL
SECOND MEETING OF SCHOOL
HEADS RESULTS IN SELEC-
TION OF SUPERINTENDENT

The second meeting of the presi-
dents of the school boards of Audi
bon county was held at the court
house last Friday afternoon. Two
weeks previous they met for the
purpose of electing county super
intendent of schools but deadlock
resulted and it was necessary to hold
another meeting. At the previous
meeting the convention was equally
divided between two candidates, the
present incumbent, Miss Ella M.
Stearns and Miss Helen Conway.
At the meeting Friday afternoon
Miss Conway was not candidate,
and her name was not presented.
However, Miss Augusta Hecker had
entered the race and after several
ballots were taken, was elected for
a period of three years, her term of
office beginning the first of next
September. The last ballot taken
resulted in votes for Miss Hecker,
4 votes for Miss Stearns, and COM
plimentary vote was given Miss Mary
Davis, who was in no way candi-
date for the office. Not all of the
townships were represented, there
being but thirteen out of a total of
sixteen, present.
Miss Stearns has held the office
of county superintendent for per-
iod of fourteen years, and during all
that time has given splendid salts
faction. Some i'll feeling was en-
gendered against her during the
past few years on the question of
consolidated schools, but in this
matter she was blamed for things
over which she had no control. She
has at all times been a conscientious
and painstaking official, and will
retire from office at the expiration
of her term with the knowledge that
she was always true to her trust and
that she is held in high esteem by
the people of the county, all of whom
know that she worked industriously
and faithfully for the welfare and
betterment of the schools of Audi
bon county.
Miss Hecker, the superintendent
elect, Is a splendid young woman
who has grown to womanhood in
this community. After finishing her
school work, she began teaching in
the public schools of the state. For
several years she taught in the pub
lie schools of Upton and at present
is teaching in the consolidated
schools at Castana, iowa. She is
we'll qualified to fill the position,
and we bespeak for her successful
term. She is entitled to the hearty
cooperation of the people of the
county, and this she will no doubt
receive

WOMAN DIED SUDDENLY
End Came Almost Without Warming
While i'm Her Home East
of the City.

Mrs. Fred B. Mccoy died very
suddenly at her home, on Wednes-
day evening of last week. She had
been in her usual good health and
had been in the city but a few days
before her death.
She complained of not feeling
well on Monday and physician was
consulted. She remained inside of
her home and did not seem to be i'll.
While a neighbor was reading to
her she died without a moments
warning. 1t is thought that a clot
of blood formed in a vital spot,
causing instant death.
Matilda Ann Campbell, daughter
of George M. and Sophia Campbell,
was born in Melville township, May
18th, 1898, and lived her entire life
in the same township. May, as she
was known, was faithful and low
ing child and grew to splendid wo-
manhood. On the Bird day of Sep
TENDER, 1918, she was united in
marriage to Fred b. Mccoy. To this
union were born four children
three sons and one daughter. One
son, Clyde Emerson, preceded the
mother to the heavenly home. The
remaining children, Leo George,
Dsle Richard and Ina Lucille, will
miss the mother. Mrs Mccoy was
strongly attached to her family, de-
voting her undivided time to their
comfort and welfare, A short time
ago she was taken sick with tonsil-
tits and la grippe, and on Wednes-
day afternoon, April 18th, she clos
ed her eyes in death and went to her
reward. She will be greatly missed
by her sorrowing husband, her lit
tie children, her father and mother
and four brothers, Ed and John
Campbell, Of Audubon; Frank and
Ephriam, at home, and two sisters,
Mrs. Mary Eagen, of Audubon. and
Mrs. Ella Sinnott, of Valley Junction.

B.RDJNG AND CONGRESS

Only people who have visited
Washington under Wilson and Hard
ing can appreciate the change which
has come over the capital: particu-
larly is the change noticeable in the
relations between the president and
congress.
!. Under Wilson the white house was
difficult of approach. With Mr.. Hard
ing approach is easy. The gates and
doors are open. The public is well
come. Under Wilson congress was
in an angry mood continuously. Con-
gress and the president were literally
at swords points. Two or three
hours notice was all the time neces-
sary to rally both houses to override
Wilson veto in the closing days of
his administration.
Writing on this changed situation
Herbert Corey says:
"This has been a dreadful shock to
Washington, of course. For eight
years the relations between congress
and the white house have been those
existing between two active Kilkenny
cats. Mr., Taft was on anything but
friendly terms with the leaders OF the
national legislature. Mr.. Roosevelt
carried the big stick, but did not
bother to walk softly when he visited
The HILL Washington became con-
WINGED that a state of jug-throwing
high-tension is natural and proper
between the senate and the white
house. One of the commonplace,
chatty, leg-crossed and vest-buttoned
friendship looks to Washington like
defeat and capture.
at isn't hard to see though, that
Mr.. Harding's relations with the
senate are apt to be more pleasant
IL he can call senators by their first
names instead of referring to them
as a little group of willful men, nor
that he is more apt to have his way.
There is not bit of doubt that Sem
ators Lodge and Knox are kept adj
vised of the information coming to
the state department, or that they
are consulted from time to time
when the foreign policy of the United
States is formulated. The relations
between the executive and the legis-
lative branches bid fair to become
increasingly efficient as they become
increasingly friendly, which in Presi-
dent Harding's opinion is just what
they should be-"
Wilson was a democrat, by name
and party affiliation. He was count
ed an authority on American govern
ment. He is the author of volum-
inous history of the United States.
In practice he was an autocrat. No
president in the history of the coun-
try has more signally failed than Mr..
Wilson to operate the government on
the lines mapped out by its founders.
The people who created this govern
ment expected its three branches to
cooperate. Mr.. Wilson miserably
failed to cooperate with the legisla-
tive branch of the government.
On the other hand Mr.. Harding is
a republican by name and party af-
filiation. But he is a democrat in
manner and instead of seeking to
usurp the functions of congress he
manifests splendid disposition to
work in harmony with all other CO.
ordinate branches of the government.
Congress is immensely pleased
with the change. And the gratitude
is as general among democrats as it
Is among republicans.
