GEORGE o. PERKINS.

George D. Perkins, editor OF the
Sioux City Journal, died this morning.
He was taken III four weeks ago with
gall stones and taken to The hospital
pending a prospective operation two
weeks later. This trouble was COM
plicated by others and he has failed
and rallied and failed again under the
watchful eyes Of friends who hoped
against hope until the end came this
morning.
The telegram announcing his death,
tho not unexpected, brought a shock to
every newspaper Office in Iowa where
it was received. Mr.. Perkins was the
dean OF Iowa newspaper men and
editors in this state.
Mr.. Perkins held peculiar pre-
eminence among Iowa editors. HIS life
combined with a simplicity Of life and
a true kindness Of heart to endear
him 10 the editorial fraternity. His
newspaper was q model. His editorial!
style and expression unexce.!ed by the
editorial pages OF any newspaper how
ever more pretentious or of more
metropolitan opportunity. The editors
of the state turned 20 him as 10 8
friend and kindly relative. And 50 il
was that he became Uncle George to
all the newspaper writers Of three
states, q title as affectionalely con-
ferred and as we'll deserved and JUST
fed as tho il had been the acciden,
OF blood relationship instead Of having
been earned by kindn ess and bestowed
in love and respect No man will De
missed more than he. There are few
newspaper men Of long service in Iowa
who did not prize his acquaintance
and friendship and VINO Will not re-
member long the courteous, interested
and interesting man whose welcome TO
the little back office Of the Journal
never failed in its kindness.
The detailed story Of Mr. Perkins
public service. the measure Of the man
by clock dtais and days are all set
forth in the dispatches, but the real
service he has given his state and his
community and mankind q not to be
measured. He was an element in the
development Of this state as its soil
and its climate and its opportunity are
elements. Such men as he are as nee
essary TO the upbui!ding of such com
munities as ours as are natural re-
sources. Indeed they are Of the natural
resources Of states and ne:gnborhoods
and nations. What they 90 and where
their influence shall end is incaiculable.
To have lived and labored success
fully thru lifetime Of - years. 70
have won love along with distinction.
TO have grown with Iowa. to have kept
step with the progress Of a common
wealth as IL rose from th= status Of q
territory to leadership among the
states Of mighty nation. 70 have
been granted the inexprGssib!e gift O..
activity and intellectual strength 70
the last and to die in the ripeness O..
accomplishment before the decay com
mon to all humanity made t-se,s
manifest is boon for which Uncle
George and those nearest him NAV h.
most grateful and for which we are
about TO die" may hope prayerfuuy.

CAlNADA'S ADVERTISING.

advertisements in the patent In

it matter not how extensively the Can
adam government advertised. Senator
Cummins and other public men who
are taking an interest in the case. may
complain to their hearts content, but
it will avail nothing.
For the past twelve years Canada
has paid the Western Newspaper
Union. which supplies small news
papers with four pages printed each
week. $4,000 per year. If the do
ninion could convonce the farmer Of

nents were truthfuD why, that was
Canada's privilege. We must admit
hat when it was after the American
farmer, it was seeking to make good
investment and was after the very best
that the world affords. The matter OF
acceptance of the invitation was all up
20 the American farmer: it was his
duty to investigate and ascertain
whether or not the deal would have
been good thing for him. The Amer
can farmer. in any event, was net Of
cred a gold brick to be purchased IN

But if Canadas interior department
sought to lure settlers from the United
States to Canada by false pretenses.
hat is an entirely different matter and
an act unbecoming any government
even granting that the one answer
as the advertisement had eli the
tights and privileges of full and free
investigator before the deal.
