Davenport Carl Lorenson is the in
Ventor of the new mower or, in other
words, of the attachments that make
it an improvement of competitive ma
cnines. For the past three years he
has been manufacturing the mower on
a small scale in a shop in Davenport.
Its practicability has been proven and
its marketability is shown in the fact
that Mr.. Lorenson has orders for sew
eral hundred of the mowers from diff
ferent parts of the country, all coming
to him unsolicited. Mr.. Lorenson was
induced to locate in Rock Island be
cause of its superior advantages in
shipping facilities and convenience of
site. He had the cooperation of the
Rock Island Industrial commission IN
securing his location, etc, although he
did not ask or receive any financial as
sistance from the commission. How
ever, there still remain IA shares of
the company stock to be disposed Of,
and Mr.. Lorenson is DESTROYS that 1t
be taken by local people. Large
blocks of the stock have already been
subscribed in the tri-cities. W. c. Jen-

Postmaster McDonald's reappoint-
ment has been conceded for some time,
the consensus of opinion being that he
is entitled to it from political stand
point as we'll as in recognition of pub
lie services, and would prove advan-
tageous in view of the improvements
to be made in the postofice with which
he is familiar. He has made a capable
postmaster, and inasmuch as the office
is to remain in the hands of a repub-
ncan, there has been no reason to think
that Congressman Mckinney would
name anyone else.

A SHIFT OF KINGS,

King Edward. who died last night,
has been to Great Britain much more
thai his youth and middle manhood
promised. He has shown that most
useful virtue OF kings common sense,
listened to wise advisers and needed
to be in large measure the decimal
point Of British government. He mas
been the opposite of the kaiser, a
quiet moderate man wearing his dign-
ity well and earning the liking and re-
spect of all classes in his kingdom. His
successor comes TO the throne earlier
than Edward who followed the longest
lived of queens and the greatest. But
he is most likely TO fall into his IA
ther's fashion of dealing with a nation
which approaches close TO republican,
ism and on slight p~rovocarion would
abolish the crown. Absolute monarchy
is on its last legs. A kings job is a
s~inecure so long only as he chooses TO
treat 1t as such. The king OF England
has less to do with British government
and constructive legislation than Joe
Cannon has had IN the congress Of the
United States.
Edward is dead and George reigns in
his stead. A king has passed and an
other come 10 his throne. II IS only an
incident in the days work Of the world,
a pags-in the newspapers, and a line in
history. The world dismisses and for
away from all dead and useless things
to seek those alive and of utility and
service. Yesterday a king was and to-
day is not, q king vas not and today
is. Long live the king.
