or even death, have been denied over
and over again opportunity to breathe
the outside air during the few days
remaining to them. Two members OF
a former parole board voted for the pa
role Of these men but were in some
way overruled and the men stayed IN
prison.
Their applications for parole have
been fought with peculiar pertinacity.
The opposition has been SO peculiarly
pertinacious a. to set men wondering
as to it's motive. Men Of the highest
character have interested themselves
In the case without avail. The case OF
the Rainsbargers is peculiar one in
Iowa.
1t is a pity that William Rainsbar-
ger should die without seeing the
brothers for whose liberty he has spent
wakeful nights and busy days. But
this matter goes beyond sentiment.
There exists in the minds OF all who
have read the brief in their case seri-
Gus doubt that these men were not
railroaded in order to cover the crimes
Of others. Such doubt was sufficient
to bring two members Of the parole
board to conclude that the men should
have another chance. Such doubt Is
common in Hardin county and is held
as a certainty in the neighborhood
where the Rainsbargers lived.
Governor Clarke should exercise his
prerogative and send these model pris-
oners home to die decently. The state
can not afford to keep them there when
this doubt exist and when the record Of
their behavior as prisoners shows that
they have earned consideration. 1t is
time for the governor to take the case
into his own capable and kindly hands
and in mercy tempered with justice do
what the parole board intended to do
five years ago-release the Rainsbar-
gers on parole.

THE ONE HOPE OF The PARTY.

The New York Tribune discussing
republican prospects in that state puts
the retirement of Barnes as state
chairman the organization of the as
sembly under clean unhobbled
speaker outside of the Barnes class
and influences as the only hope of the
party in that state. The party is again
i, control of the assembly. not 1t ad-
mits by any virtue Of desert but be-
cause of the unspeakable rottenness OF
Tammany. 1t has its chance; but with
the Barnes and what the Barnes stand
for it, It's opportunity is lost.
The Tribune learns. In national re-
publicanism it was strongly for TAFT
and carried on the high brow campaign
for him while Barnes and his forces
managed the reverse side Of the cam
paign in New York. Then Its attitude
was of the character Of compromise.
1t has been taught the futility Of COM
promise with such political forces as
the Barnes crowd represents. Per-
haps it has discovered that the repub-
lican graft is as reprehensible as the
'unspeakable" rottenness Of Tammany.
The situation in New York is the
situation in national republicanism,
with difference-repub have
control of the assembly in that state
nj
national administration and congress.
Moreover there is no sign of incom-
potency or Of rottenness in the high Of
fee Of the administration.
If republicanism is to arise again
triumphant it must drop overheard the
weight that bore it to the ground. 1t
must rid itself Of the men and the is
sues that proved so disastrous. There
are those in national politics whose
leadership or near leadership is COM
plete barrier against public good will.
The democratic party did not win thru
any virtue Of its own but by reason Of
republican desperation which turned
against the men and the issues which
were made paramount TO the better in
terests of the party and the country.
The democratic party will stand or fall
upon the virtues it has developed. The
republican party will succeed, II it does
succeed, thru it's understanding and
acceptance Of the situation as it is.
The tide sets again toward republic
can success. 1t is that turn in the af-
fairs of the party which leads on to
success or disaster. It is time to trim
the ship.

the commissioners talsins to reporters
who como "snooping'' around. OF
course, the poor commissioners can not
help giving up their time. for II they
did not dSvots It to the reporters the
newspapers would roast them. They
are literally held up and compelled to
waste Ill that precious time which they
might otherwise devote to the affairs
OF the public.
This II an entirely new theory and
also = new viewpoint. We have never
seen It brought out before in exactly
the same way. But, studying the re-
suits in Des Moines, we would be in
clined to the belief that the less time
the commissioners devote to business
the better for the taxpayers. II they
can do % badly for the city with the
time they can spare from the reporters,
how badly would they do II they could
give all their time to the public bust
ness.
The thought also occurs TO one
what those commissioners would do.
II they did not fear the constant ex-
posures Of the newspapers. II strikes

each day, they save hours Of time for
the taxpayers and stockholders in the
municipal corporation. They can
glance at the newspaper and find what
has been going on and what has been
done.
The only public officials who speak
that way about reporters are officials
whose ways are crooked, and who do
not want the daylight to be let into
their doings. We are familiar with the
kind, every newspaper man is familiar
with them. Commissioner Van Lew
has not drawn up an indictment
against newspaper reporters, 50 much
as he has against himoelf, his methods
and his results.

LABEL THE GOODS.


The honest manufacturer in many
lines is crowding out the dishonest
one. People want service, now days
and they want good goods and are
willing to pay the price. Many buy
inferior goods from choice but that is
perfectly all right. provided they are
charged no more than the goods war
rant But the difficulty s. the textile
workers work OFF shoddy goods on the
merchant and he delivers them to his
Gus toners in full confidence Of their
value at the price. He finds they are
shoddy and ceases carrying them when
something else bobs up. new to him,
the result Of the crafty brain OF the
textile manufacturer and carrying a
igh-sounding name and he Is bitten
again. He finally settles down to do
business with reliable manufacturers.
but even at that, he IL forced by his
trade to carry goods that he himself
is afraid Of. These, II his customers
want them, he sells for what they are
worth. refusing to stand back OF them.
The merchant can not fully protect the
public. He is forced to carry what the
public is asking for-and few Gus
toners ask his advice: fewer than
should.
Label the goods as we do our cans.

were.
