TAKE THEM At THEIR WORD.

Nathan and Frank Rainsbarger. thru
their nearest of living kin, have made
public a note of thanks sent to Gov
ernor Clarke, in which they express
gratitude for their release from prison
and incidently promise that the conf
dence of the governor will not be vio-
lated The promise while not necessary
was to be expected.
There has been some wonderment
and not a little criticism OF the action
of Governor Clarke ii refusing TO grant
an unconditional pardon TO the broth
ers, in view OF his announced opinion
that the Rainsbarsers We're innocent OF
the crime for which they stood con-
victed for thirty years. The question
has been raised why men should be put
on their good behavior for a period OF
three years if innocent They had been
model prisoners for thirty years. and
man can misbehave in prison as well
as out. In adding this mild restriction
to the pardons Governor Clarke had in
mind the early environment OF the
Rains bargers. the lawlessness OF the
times in which the brothers lived as
f,ee men, the enemies the family had
made and the bitterness Of the years
of controversy caused by the efforts OF
the convicted men TO gain their free
dom. 1t was evident 10 the governor
that these enemies might deliberately
plan 10 involve the brothers in new
trouble by melting them 10 resort to
deeds OF revenge for the unceasing OPP
position TO pardon or parole. There
was still some responsibility assumed
by the governor after the release OF
the TWO men. and Governor Clarke in
surrounding the pardons with mild con-
ditions only sought 10 place a portion
OF this responsibility on the recipients
Of his confidence.
Friends of the Rainsbargers are
confident they viii make good out OF
prison as they did within. Their
enemies will blunder If they seek TO
bar their way 10 fulhllment Of the
promises freely made.

AUTOMOBILES on STREETS.

A Des Moines Judge holds the city
ordinance down there regulating the
length of time an auto can be left
standing on the streets to be illegal.
We don't know how the case will come
out but if the early man can block
street all day with his auto because
he happens to work down town, then
the next fellow can leave his car in the
middle Of the street, for it is manifest
ly unfair to say that one lineup of
autos along the curb is legal while the
second row of autos would be illegal.
An auto has no more right to remain
standing all day in busy city street
than has a merchant the right to move
his store out into the street and do
business there

They have abandoned that cry.

so paralyzed things that the

CORN ON THE COB AT

The thought of roasting ears

mouth of the grown-up water"
as surely as does the thought of
stick candy or ice cream appeal
to the appetite of the small boy

his pocket to make the desired
purchase.
They are not an impossibility.
In a recent bulletin, Canning of
Fruits and Vegetables on the
Farm" Miss Bah Bell, Woman's
lecturer of the State Board of
Agriculture, gives the method
of canning corn on the cob. This
should appeal alike to the own
err of a small garden in the city
and to the farm woman.
AS with all vegetables con-
tanning but little acid, corn
should be canned the same day
as gathered, and as soon after

prevent "fiat sour"

dogs. All along the line now
they are talking prosperity and
the business boom that is now
developing.
Just look at the different po-
sitions they have had to occupy
within the short space of a few
months. We all remember how
they banged away the early
part of 1914 on the hard times"
tocsin, pointing to the ruin that
the slight reductions of the I'm
derwood schedules had brought
upon trade. When the war
broke out, and now and then
some Democratic paper would
point to the general demorali-
cation of the entire commercial
world and modestly ask what
else could be expected, the Re-
publicans would leap to the top
rail of the fence and shout,
"War nothing! 1t was the tariff
done itT
Now, within the same twelve
months these same loud gentle
men are back shouting with
equal intensity and fervor that
if it hadn't been for the war,
that misguided Underwood tariff
wouldn't have left a grease spot
of us!
It's too lightning-like change
to be very impressive. In fact,
it is doubtful today whether the
| tariff will cut much of a figure
in the battle next year, if we
may Judge from the expressions
of those who are supposed to be
in a position to know what the
Republicans will do. Even the
Bourbon Republicans know that
they couldn't ask for the res.
toration of the Payne-Aldricf
tariff. The tariff is going to bt
an exceedingly awkward issue
to handle, and the friends of th'
Big Interests will have a lot 0.
work to arouse much sentimen
for a change.
Some of the Republicans ar
trying to make an issue out o
President Wilson's Mexican wa
policy, but there isn't mucl
hope in that direction. Nobody
except a few fire-eaters, wi
stand up and say that it is GU
