Former Prominent Iowa Editor, Con-
gresham and Later Government
Printer, Passes Away in Chicago.

Special to Times-Rcpublican.
Des Moines, Dec. 4.-The death of
Frank w. Palmer at Chicago is an
nounced. His passing recalls the early
days Of pioneer journalism in Iowa.
Palmer will be mourned by the old
time printers, editors, politicians ana
thousands Of friends thruout the state
and nation. He was one of the most
prominent among the useful men con-
tributed to the nation by Iowa. His
death was due to pneumonia. Mr.
Palmer was born in Manchester, Ind,
Oct. IL, 1927. He learned the printers
trade in New York city, and later
published the Jamestown Journal. He
was elected to the New York legisla-
ture in 1853. He came to Iowa in 1858
and became publisher of the Dubuque
Times. In 1860 he was elected state
printer, removed to Des Moines and
purchased the Iowa State Register for
eight years. He became force in
| SASSsNN
| to congress from the Des Moines dis
trict In 1873 he retired and became
editor of the Chicago Inter-O Ocean, was
| later editor Of the Chicago Herald
postmaster of Chicago and afterwards
served two terms as government print
ler.
| He had resided in Chicago since his
retirement from the office of public
printer a year or two ago. AT his bed
side were his children, Robert F. Pal
mer, who is engaged in insurance in
Chicago and his daughter, who is a
teacher in the Chicago high school,
News of his death was conveyed to
Hon. Charles Aldrch, curator of the
state department of history, his closest
personal friend in Iowa, yesterday. Mr..
! Aldrich will probably be unable to at
| tend the funeral.

ton Of qualities which spell success.
Ability, courage, force, integrity, OPP
timism, and a winning personality
were supplemented by loyalty. 1nfiuen-
tial in New York politics early, more
prominent later in Iowa politics, his
power in national politics found field
| in the management of the Inter-
/ Ocean, at the time the most radical
republican newspaper in the west. He
formed an intimate friendship with
Gen. John A. Logan which lasted I'M
til the demise of that gallant soldier,
and his close association with Judge
George G. Wright, Gen. Grenville M.
Dodge and other men conspicuous in
affairs indicate the high position that
: he occupied among public men.

Dozens of churches which have always
celebrated Christmas eve with a tree
and the inevitable Santa Clause are
disposed to rebel. Removing Santa
Claus whiskers is removing the dis
tinctive feature of the old gentlemans
appearance, they say.
But the fire marshal is firm, he
points to the innumerabe fires that
have been caused by Santa's inham-
mable whiskers coming in contact with
a candle or spark and he proposes to
avoid all risks of this kind this year
Marshal Siegel has served notice
upon all toy stores that only asbestos
whiskers or n-ipfammable window
decorations will be permitted OF
course it is probable that in some
homes, Santa will be there, whiskers
and all, but not at any public gather
ings, the fire marshal says.
