Because of defect In the extradition

Wren and Bailey were sent back from
Washington by the Secretary of State,
and their trip to England will be post

in the matter can make out a stronger

sufficient legal claims for the body OF
Miller. and their trip would have, ~

Client evidence, and then Common

gained sufficient evidence, as they
thought. for the preparation OF the

not let the detectives proceed on their

a. W. LEE PUBLISHER.

/ The death of A. W. Lee, proprietor
and publisher of the Ottumwa Courier
and in control of the Lee syndicate OF
newspapers, including with the Courier
/ the Davenport Times and Muscatine
/ Journal in Iowa, and two daily papers
1 outside Of the state, occurred Monday
I His udden death has been a surprise
land great shock to the newspaper
publishers of the state, among whom
he was a commanding slnd successful
figure.
A. w. Lee was another of the million
examples of what ambition, capacity,
thrift and hard work csln do in this
country of opportunity. A native
Iowan, he was educated in the common
schools and at the state university.
His first newspaper WORK was done at
Sc a week, and he rose, rapidly to a
partnership in the newspaper that
employed him. From that time on he
prospered. His life story has been
written over and over again in the
obituaries Of self-made Americans.
Mr.. Lee was one of the princes
among Iowa newspaper men. A fine
fellow to know and friend one would
value among the chosen few. He was
essentially a publisher more than an
editor. for his genius seened to follow
the line of organization and executive
management Of the forces which pros
duce a complete and successful news
paper. His development of a syndi-
cate of profitable dailies has been con-
Quoted with signal ability. so much so
that his death will prove an excep-
tional loss to each of five communities
instead OF one. The Iowa press will
mourn the departure Of one of its
leaders.

soned in citizenship and politics that
many are called while few are chosen
Furthermore 1t We're we'll before get
ting involved in campaign relationship
of this sort, to take several things into
consideration.
Experience testifies as to perils that
environ the ambitious editor If he
gets into the linelight as one APP
proaches distinction, the things he has
said and the things he is saying are
subject to keen criticism, While the
things he may not say ale wont to be
continually in evidence. Now this edi
tor has not been writing as one who
yearned for political distinction. He
would make a sorry showing in the
endeavor to avoid political pitfalls. A
banker or lawyer in the candidate bus
mess can look wise and speak behind
his hand in whispers as to loaded
propositions, but the editor big enough
to be talked about for prominent Of
flee must keep right on bringing grist
TO the copy mill and he must not use
too much language to conceal thought.
The things that must be said in the
Beacon in response to conviction will
dampen the ardor of some friends
now doing him honor and suggest TO
cautious politicians that they have
another guess coming as to available
ity. However much ambition in this
quarter might become aroused, this
alleged candidate would not like to
embarrass his friends. FEe would not
expect the support Of men under any
sort of duress. He would not want
to inspire any degree of suffering on
the part of men of influence in making
a choice for this great office. He
would be 10th to get in the way of
honorable ambition hotter than his
own. He would want to be very sure
his state and his party needed him in
office. While yearning for the conf
dence of good republicans everywhere,
he would not want any support at the
sacrifice of earnest manly conviction.
In the course of human events it
may develop that Mr.. Funk will be
recognized as a candidate of unques-
