Insurance Risks.

Society Of the United States made
this statement: Every man, or

sixteen were expected; those oftener
than monthly showed eighteen deaths
where six were expected, or three
times the standard rate. In the
case of man applying who only
drank glass of beer, or wine, occa-

appetite grows, and the life of that
man is often shortened ten or twen-

How to Discover Patriots.

In one Of those moods of discour-
agement and disillusion which oc-
casionally seize upon the most OPP
timistic men the minister lament
ed the decay of patriotism and the
absence Of patriots in this day and
generation.
"The patriot of our forefathers,"
he said to the senator, lis as extinct
as the dodo."
The senator smiled-not hope
fully nor cynically, but rather wea-
rily.
'FYou don't know how to find
Them" he said. 81 could raise a
hundred of them in twenty-four
hours"
The minister looked interested
and slightly incredulous.
"It is but to refuse an unreason-
able demand" said the senator,
"and up spring your patriots. p

Slayton Gazette: We don't know
what Gov. Eberhart will recommend
to the legislature, but he would not
be taking a bad course if he advised
them to elect United States sena-
tor, pass the necessary appropria-
tiens and then go home before the
members get contaminated by the
saloons, dives and gambling joints
of the capital city. Then if he
should set about a rigid enforcement
of the laws we already haye he
would be doing very fatherly and
statesmanlike act.

227 Tons of Fish at One Haul.

Clad in Divers suit, beating and
f1aying the water beneath a foot of
ice, and pausing to thrust his hands
into the gills of a laundering "buf-
falo", Minnesota's champion fisher
man, Aaron Margolis, who lives at
1O2 Robertson street, St. Paul, made
his record breaking haul last week
by landing in one least" in Tetonka
Lake, Mimi, nearly one-half mil
lion pounds of fish which are now
speeding east in train of one ex-
press and eleven refrigerator cars.
Sixteen men and a span of big
horses assisted Mr.. Margolis in this
feat. 1t required exactly one and
one-half days for the combined force
to haul in the single seine.
When the fish were weighed Mr..
Margolis found he had $4,000
pounds, equal to 227 tons. The larg-
est of these was a buffalo fish weigh
ing fifty-four pounds. and presumed
by him to be Is years old, which he
nabbed while wandering around sew
eral feet beneath the ice.
If the commission men in New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Chicago, to whom the fish were bill
ed, receive for him a fair price, say
5 cents a pound, then Mr.. Margolis
will realize in gross receipts on this
one haul of something like $22,26O.
He declared Yesterday he expected
to earn net as much as $40, 0OO. be-
fore the winter is over.
This is thought to be the largest
single haul of fish ever made in
inland waters,
While two horses pulled these fish
from the water. they made enough
drags to average only four tons at
each haul. At this rate it would
have required LIS horses to yank all
the fish out on single drag.
In order to immerse his seine in
the water, Mr.. Margolis had to break
the ice for distance exceeding 22OO
feet, the length of his net in single
piece. This seine is able to find the
bottom of the lake to depth of
thirty-two feet. 1t is one of the
largest owned privately in the state.
To get the fish into this huge net
was still another matter. Mr.. Mar
COILS and several of his men had to
put on diving suits to accomplish
this. Then breaking the ice at re-
mote distance from the net, they
slipped into the water and drove the
fish ahead of them.

Des Moines. June 23-The sweeping
indictment OF the supreme court OF
Iowa that it is in the habit of going out
OF its way to And technical errors as
an excuse for granting new trials in
criminal cases, Is not warranted by the
facts as disclosed In the record.
In the past year, beginning with the
short July announcement session, the
Iowa supreme court passed on fifty
four state cases appealed from the dis
trict courts This included liquor cases
and some certiorari cases. Out OF these
only fourteen revcrsals We're ordered.
"It is not true" said John Fletcher.
a assistant attorney general Of Iowa, who
has charge OF the criminal appeals on
behalf of the state, that the supreme
court is free with granting new trials
on technicalities. The attorneys for the
prosecution have no complaint on that
score. 1t is now the rule and long has
been, as l believe, that the court re-
fuses absolutely to interfere with the
findings Of a district court unless 1t is
clearly shown that there has been some
substantial injustice done the defend
ant depriving him Of his rights under
the law"
The Dubuque Times-Journal having
editorially urged that the Iowa supreme
court be deprived Of its appellate juris-
diction in criminal cases and this be
placed in the board Of pardons, the
question has stirred up some interest
among lawyers. That would mean that
the board Of pardons would have to &C.

greatest complaint against the present
board Of pardons is that it insists on

trying each case to ascertain the guilt
of the person. when the intent OF the
law was to have 1t assumed that all
have been properly convicted. But the
accusation OF the Dubuque paper Is
that the Iowa supreme court gets
around the legal requirement that err
rors not prejudicial shall be disregard
ed "by holding that any error 1t can
discover with magnifying glass Is
and prejudicial and proper
basis for new trial il the conviction
was obtained before 4 court out OF ia
vor with the supreme tribunal" This
Is such serious accusation against the
six honorable gentlemen OF the Iowa
court that 1t Is sure to attract atten-
ton.
A list OF cases reversed upon this
theory in the past ten years would
make m interesting contribution to the
current literature OF the subject OF the
criminal code.
