"LIFE AND TIMES OF LESLIE NJ, SHAW

In a few days we expect to receive
a biography of Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw
written by himself. There. has been
delay in putting this work on the mar
by the author. SO familiar to us here
in Iowa is the history of Mr.. SHAW
we can almost review it in advance.
Chapter first will be devoted to his
| birthplace and his school days. This
will be followed by an account of his
working his way thru college. Then
we can read how he made his first
money by selling books II as a tree
peddler. About chapter five the be
ginning of his Denison life will be
mentioned. We shall hear thai fire.
ouently during his career as real es-
tate dealer he sent interest none
down east for farmers in Crawford
county unable to pay the same. Then
will come an ccount of how the Z. 4
N. w. railroad discovered him and
made him governor of Iowa. There
will be much interest in the chapter
explaining the Shercliffe parole, and
how thereby the vote for Gear was
handled in Pottawattamie county.
Equally interesting will be the details
of his official connection with the
Cold Bond Investment companies of
Des Moines, and the use that was
made of his name.
OF particular interest to the ladies
will be the chapter devoted to the dis
play made of his wife's dresses in DaV-
mort en- route to Washington. where
he was going to occupy the treasury
appointment. There will be several dry
hapter concerning his work as sec
retary of the treasury. Then we shall
be told of that conversation with the
hoard Of directors of the Carnegie
Trust Company and the abandonment
of a $4,000 salary.
Somewhere in the book will be ex-
planned Just why Mr.. Blythe could have
had the authors appointment as sem
ator instead Of DoHiver had Mr.. Blythe
wished it so. This statement made by
MI. Shaw in the heat of a campaign
will be further expanded with much in
teresting detail.

The unlisted securities were withheld

WEAKNESS OF OUR LAW PROCEDURE

with but few exceptions the lawyers
of this county are staunch supporters
of our present system of law proceed
ure. They will not admit that any i'm
provement is possible, probable or nee
essary. 1t will be interesting reading
for them and others, to look over what
follows from the London Chronicle, an
article written by Mr.. Sydney Brooks:
The limited authority of the trial
Judge in this country and the abuse
of the pardoning power which is exer-
cised by the governors of the respec-
tive states-politicians elected by pop
ular vote and dependent Upon public
opinion are also causes which lead to
laxity. But above all is the 'perversion
of procedure in American courts, of
which he writes as follows:
Beyond everything else the break
down of the American criminal law
is to be found in the worship n per-
version of procedure. Just as Ameri-
cans have overelaborated the machin-
cry of politics until Democracy is
bound and helpless In its tolls, so they
have magnifed the t~echnicalities OF the
law until justice has been thrown into
the background and lost sight of. In
a criminal case in the United States it

Topics Of the Times

The Maryland legislature is In ses-
sion and the Baltimore Sun demands
in the interest of popularity for the
democratic party that What the peo-
ple want is the redemption of the
pledge to enact a primary election law
for the whole state, which will put the
senatorial and other primaries under
the protection of the law; the redemp-
ton of the pledge for a corrupt prac-
tees law that will prevent the barter
and traffic in votes as far as a law
can prevent it: they want he public
highways of the state improved, ana
they want the oyster culture law
strengthened"

"While I was in California this win

to produce a cobless corn. This is
undoubtedly his ultimate aim" said a
returning tourist, but just now he is
trying to find out where our corn plant
comes from. 1t appears that the orig
inal of corn has never been found.
Mr.. Burbank thinks it comes from an
American annual grass, possibly some
thing like 'teosinte.' a similar plant
found in Contra America. 1t would
not affect our cob pipe industry ser
iously if Mr.. Burbank should elect to

civilization. There's something in 1t.
Some thing lndescribable in we
call breeding-well bred. Like the much
abused terms Of lady and gentleman,
clothes neither cover up nor proclaim
a well bred gentleman or lady. Let a
man or woman enter a public place,
s,lch as a hotel or passenger car, in
structively the others present know
them at once. A hundred little things
betray them and their origin and
status. We of course do not admit any
class distinctions in this country, but
leaving out for this time any argument
along this line, when n of the
referred to ladies or gentlemen, q
well bred person, speaks to or has
any business to transact with the m
ployes of such public institutions, both
employees and observers recognize their
good breeding It's useless to claim
such action and language is mate, and
natural to some persons. While it is
truc ttla: it is impossible for some per-
sons to acquire good breeding" 1t is
just as true that your children and
mine do unconSciously (sometimes the
parents of the child fail to notice the
transformation acquire habits of po-
likeness, style of language. even habits
of thought, from US. The parent that
unconsciously thanks the child for a
triaing service seldom notices the
thank you" from the child. 1t is eX-
pected and accepted much as the nee
essary and required n%eatness of per-
sonal habits in the child. When we
say tie child is "a chip Of he old
block" we tell the whole story.
OF course. all this is the old, old ar
gument, in favor of environment. True,
but we have a habit Of somehow as
Stunning that environment is stronger
for the bad and heredity for the good.

onment, produces none too good an
