ATTACKS ARE UNwARRANTEED

The attacks being made upo,
Judge Emiln McClin are so evidentl.
unfair. unfounded and malicious tina
it seems to be time that some wor.
should be said in his defense.
The original charge is that Mr.
McClain sold to the state the use O
his Annotations of the Code of Iowa
This has been followed by the puer
lie charges that he ,lectured before
the Universities of Wisconsin and III.
inois. that he was an editor of lega.
works, that he did not give his nights
and Sundays to the work of the state
and finally that he had a bed in the
state house.
The law very wisely provides that
Judge shall not have any private
legal practice and it further provides
that no state officer shall hold two
Offices or draw two salaries at the
same tine.
The law does not state that Judge
shall abandon every form of private
business. Judge Rothrock had fine
farm to which he gave much attention
and we remember that the Des Moines
papers used to take great pleasure in
featuring him as sort of modern
Cincinnatus.
1t is probable that every one of the
Supreme Judges has private business
to which he gives the time and atten-
tion demanded. A man with am in
come of six thousand dollars per year
should be able to make some invest
ments and he should be able to give
these investments his attention. In
point Of fact every one of the Judges
does this and would be reprehensible
if hesvere. so careless of the future as
not to do so. Whether the learned
judge spends spare time in superintend-
ing farm. directing real estate
operations, annotating a code or fish
ing on Lake Okoboji is distinctly
none of the public's affair, unless it
be proven that on this account he is
neglecting the duties of his office.
Attorney General Byers has just
been allowed extra help for his public
work, although it is a fact that the
Attorney General himself gives the
larger part of his time to his private
practice at Des Moines and at Har-
Ian and to his political activities.
When the editor of the Des Moines
Capital was state binder, he devoted
practically all Of his time, not to
the duties of his office, but to the
publication of his newspaper. al
though his bills for public service
were so high that they had to be
filed in the dome of the state house.
At that time Mr.. Young would
have been obliged to abandon his
Office as state binder to have accept
ed position on the Supreme bench.
although. of course, he would not
have resigned the more lucrative
Office. This would have been receiv-
ing two salaries from the state. but

Especial Telegram. )-Fire this
morning destroyed the Miller & Ogor.
man furniture house, and Frank Mil.
Ter, senior member of the firm, was
killed while in the basement of the
building.
When the fire was discovered he
and an employee, William Johnson, ran
down to see whether the smoke came
from the basement, Miller came
dashing up the stairs after viewing
the basement and cried that every.
thing was afre. He rushed back,
evidently to see what could be done.
and has not been seen since.
johnson, who managed TO get out
of the basement, in some manner he
cannot himself explain, states that he
saw Miller last on the elevator.
Johnson's hands were severely burned
his hair and eyelashes singed and he
was burned about the face.
johnson stated that the fire started
in lot of mattresses. the smoke inn
mediately becoming 80 thick that no
one could venture into the building.
The fire was still burning at noon, but
was confined to the brick building in
which the store was located. with no
present danger of spreading.
The loss on stock will be almost
complete, and the loss on the build
ing will be about one-half. A total
estimate places it at 500, 900. Miller
