Governor CAROLS intention to re-

their duty as we'll as they know how,
and Eaton is that sort of man.

Warden Sanders turned out to be not

t. His work as head of the penitentiary
at Fort Madison will stand under the
calcium light. OF course he may have
made some mistakes, as his prede-
cessor and as every one else does, but
that he was guilty of serious malad-
ministration none of his friends, or
even his enemies believe.
He entered upon his work with the
purpose of ascertaining whether or not
there is something higher in the aver
age criminal than simply british in

may not be developed, and in many
cases the prisoners become q useful

1t is said the president would like
to make a tour of the country this
fall to get better acquainted with the
people at time when there would
be no politics in his visit. But If he
goes he will have to pay his own ex-
penses unless congress sees fit to re-
scind its decision not to allow the
president travelling expenses. The
people will be benefited quite as
much as the president by such a tour
aad it is no more than proper that his
expenses should be paid from the pub

MAyBRAY AND THE mikes"
IMuscatine Journall

[Muscatine Journall
All good citizens of this state will
watch with interest the progress of
this case against the supposed lead
er of the band of criminals VINO for
years made an Iowa city their head
quarters in swindling operations OF
a magnitude seldom attempted.
All good citizens will hope that
if May bray be found guilty of those
operations with which he and his
gang are charged, the punishment
will be as nearly commensurate with
the crime as possible.
But there can e.,but little sympa-
thy for the majority of the Mikes"
who were victimized by the Council
Bluffs gang.
In almost every instance the vic
tim became such thru his desire
to play a sure thing. to victimize
someone else. Such men are enti-
tied to no protection of the law, nor
to any redress. They merely got the
dose which they hoped to admins
ter to someone else, and it served
them right
The Mikes" have received their
| punishment. Let the professional
swindlers get theirs. and the Incl
dent may be forgotten with pleasure
| by the good citizens of this good
state.

The effort to start scandal in the
Iowa insane hospitals seems to have
rather fallen fiat. Perahps this is due
to the kind of testimony submitted.
One witness complained that at indie
pendence the inmates nearly froze to
death during the period between the
Fourth Of July and fifteenth of Sep
TENDER. If that was the feelings of
the patients during that time they
were certainly in the right place.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

THE Council Bluffs Nonpareil is not
satisfied with what the Iowa general
assembly did. 1t is trying to discover
what was overlooked. If the Council
Bluffs paper goes far enough it may
be the means of inducing the governor
to call a special session. This could
easily make the situation different
without improving it, adroitly argues
the Davenport Democrat and Leader.

GOOD MEN, BUT POOR SALARIES.
mason CITY Times.1

The news comes to the people of
the state that Iowa may lose Professor
Curtis of Ames, to another state agri-
cultural college. The reason at the
bottom of all this is that the state
of Iowa is not paying her good men
enough salary. Iowa should be IN a
position to pay such men as Profess
sor Curtis better salary than state
like Colorado can. Iowa is an old ana
rich state, and her agricultural inter-
ests are many times greater than the
state of Colorado.
We hope the new educational board
soon to be inaugurated will realize this
important part Of the school business
and if they have not the authority
to pay our professors more will rec
ommend to the next legislature that
Iowa get in the front rank with re-
gard to pay for her excellent corps OF
instructors.

self-imposed fate of William Deahn,
who. with his mother, ran hotel at
Fairwater. Daehn lacked but a few
inches of being seven feet in height,
and in effecting self destruction he
manipulated large rife as easily as
though it were revolver.
Throughout the progress of the
dance Daehn, who is only 20 years
old and single, seemed to be having
most enjoyable time. He danced
with every girl of his acquaintance
who was present, and no one of whom
is believed to have been a contribut--
DRY cause of his act
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
Daehn left the hall and shortly after
wards was found dead. His father
died some time ago and the son has
been more or less respondent ever
since, according to intimate friends.
The dead man was noted as being one.
OF the tallest men in Wisconsin. He
not only measured feet inches in
bis stockings, but was proportionately
heavy and well built.

AMERICANS WIN
SUIT IN GERMANY

Leipsic, Nov. 27.-The imperial SUI
preme court yesterday interpreted
the patent agreement between Ger
many and the United States in favor
of an American company which had a
branch Office in Berlin. The latter
secured a patent under the German
law on invention, but failed to placs,
the invention on the market within
three years, the limit of time under
the German statute. A German
brought suit to vacate the patenl
rights and the patnet Office decided in
his favor. The American firm ap-
pealed and meanwhile transferred the
patent rights to the parent company
in the United States. The court yes
terday declared the patent office hao
wrongfully revoked the patent and
must renew it.
The German-American patent agree
ment was promulgated August 1 by
President Taft and Emperor William
Under it Americans were relieved or
the requirement of the German law,
that in order to sell their products in
Germany they must manufacture them
upon the basis of patents in Germany.
American inventors also are relieved
from the German restriction which
declares patents forfeited if not actu-
ally worked in Germany within three
years.

of the saloons. All other. saloons here
owned by brewers and distillers, will
