ALL CAN'T RIDE.

A leading cartoon of the week repre-
sents surging crowd of law graduates
all trying to board one lone street car
that will take them to Success avenue.
The point in the picture is that one
seasons crop of lawyers numbering far
above 1000 for the United States alone,
will swell the profession until the street
car will be most uncomfortably crowd
ed. 1t is true that the annual crop of
graduates from the professional schools
of this country has grown enormous.
The wonder is what becomes of them
all when it is known that. with the
modern tendency towards the CONSOLE
dation of all industry into few great
corporations, the rivalries and quarrels
and consequent litigation between in
Vulnerable petty companies has ceased
and the demand for lawyers decreased.

ElE1Y YEARS An EDITOR.

Today John Mahin, of the Muscatine
Journal, celebrates the completion OF
atty wears as an Iowa editor, altho the
SEVENTEEN anniversary of his birth has
not vet rolled around.
Mr.. Mahin is one of the old guard OF
American editors. He started In the
business at the very lowest round e the
ladder as an employee OF the same pa
,a,. that he has now owned and edited
Tor fifty years, and worked his way to
che top. He has written straight, I'M
qualified republican editorials thru
twelve hot presidential campaigns and
scores of local and state campaigns, be-
side supporting Winfield Scott on the
whir ticket. He has pleaded for what
was right and just thru some OF the
greatest national history making
events known to the United States, and
has worked and pushed and struggled
tor the great middle west ever since he
first held pen.
In Mr.. Mahins first editorial and an
nouncement in the issue of the Musca-
tine Journal, dated July IL, 1852, he
laws down three guiding principles as
follows:
"a remodelling of our present tariff
system whereby the best interests of
our own manufacturers may be Sc
cured;
"a liberal discrimination by the gen.
eral government in favor of the inn
rrovement of inland navigation:
"a material reformation of the pres
ent currency system, especially in this
state
In addition, Mr.. Mahin stated in his
salutatory that in pursuing this course
I'VE shall endeavor at all times to pre-
serve an honest and consistent course,
without descending to the use of false
hood, ungenerous ridicule and political
detraction, too often disgracing parti-
san papers, whose editors are less wise
than enthusiastic
He has lived to see the great growth
and development of every one of these
and to see also that his Judgment on
each one was wise, even tho it was that
OF but 19-year-old boy.
The press of Iowa can bear hearty
testimony to the sterling character OF
John Mahin as an editor. He has con-
sistently advocated the best principles
and safest policies from a state and ma
tlonal standpoint. even tho slight de-
parture from them might have tempo
rarily advanced his personal interests
and safety. It is a grand tribute to his
high standing as man and publisher
that he is today reaping the reward OF
his fidelity and honesty IN the newspa-
per field.

New Ways Of Making Life Easy.

The late Senator ingalls, once made the
statement that. in time. farming would become
"a sedentary occupation if farm machinery con-
tnued to improve at the same rate as in the
last decade.
With equal truth it might be said that the
drudgery OF housework will soon be thing OF
the past If mans inventive genius continues to
find new ways of making life easy and pleasant.
Canned meats, for example, go long way
in hot weather They are all ready for the
table wholesome, economical, palatable.
The housewife who would confer favor on
herself will take the trouble to ask her grocer
or meat market man TO show her the various
Rex, canned meats he carries. Among the
articles which meet with readiest sale are:
Lunch sausage, sliced beef. corned beef hash,
ported turkey, ported chicken, veal loaf, and

DECLARES VENICE is DOOMED.
City Architect Says Foundations Are
Unable to Stand Pressure.

Venice, July 16.-professor Wagner,
the city architect, is of the opinion that
practically the whole of Venice Is
domed to destruction. He says the sub
soil has deteriorated and the piles and
pillars are rotten and unable to stand
the pressure on them.
Shrinkages and sinking have been
observed in the subsoil for many years,
altho am official commission lately de-
clared there was no danger from these
causes. Professor Wagner advocates
the restoration of the lossia of Sanso-
vino but not the tower. He says if the
tower is rebuilt it should be in modern
style.
The municipal council has decided to
rebuild the campanile of St Marks and
the Sansovino loggia. 1t has opened the
