JOHN MAHIN.

John Mahin Is dead at the ripe
age Of Sc years. The name Of
John Mahin is built into the his
tory and development Of the state
Of more than a half century of
change and progress. He was learning
the printers trade in Iowa one year
after its admission to the union as
state, on the newspapers of which he
afterward became owner and editor
for fifty years. This was before the
then town or post OF Bloomington had
changed its name to Muscatine.
Mahin was man Of strong convic-
ton with the courage to match. His
newspaper and himself he placed in
the forefront of needed reform and
held his ground. He was one of the
first to Withstand and oppose the rail-
road domination in politics and a
leader against the saloons and
liquor traffic in days when such
opposition meant ostracism and &C
tual danger. So effective was his
fight against the saloon and for the
enforcement Of law that his home was
dynamited by his personal and politi-
cal enemies. The incident did not cow
Mahin. On the contrary it increased
his activity and stirred his fighting
blood.
He was radical as all men are radi-
cal who do not fear to oppose power
! with their personalities and their tut
ures. He was a fighting man. In war
he would have been the leader of for
lorn hopes. In peace he was even prav-
er for it requires more courage to stand
alone against wrong and vice in peace
than to charge a battery or storm a
glacis in battle.
Mahin made good thruout. He held
his ground. Not only that but his enc
mics were unable to ruin or destroy
him in q business way. He succeeded
with his newspaper and he succeeded
with an advertising agency which aft
erward was removed to Chicago, hay
ing outgrown the Muscatine location
He lived to see the reforms he had ad.
! vocated at risk Of his life and propert,
become the gospel Of his state. AND
having seen and accomplished 80 mucl
he died In the fullness of years beyont
the scriptural limit of mans days.
There is little regret to be expressed
that Mahin has passd in his time a.
men must pass to rest after toll ant
accomplishment. His life represents
growth and ripening and harves
yield and final fading entirely natura
and aligned with the Great Purposes
He was pioneer in reform who brok
the prairie. sowed. reaped .Iid move
on as pioneers have done since Abra
ham.
| He left Iowa IN debt to him but
debt that he doubtless considered full
paid by the moral and political pro
sress Of which he was . leader and
Vanguard.

puslIc MEN AND aEwspApfaa

The Cedar Rapids Republican re-
fers to an inference which 1t says was
made by Senator Kenyon as suggest
ing that the newspapers which have
accepted and published the advertis-
ing of the packers have been editorial
ly influenced thereby.
If Senator Kenyon made any refer
ence carrying such a yelled general
accusation he was guilty of an injus-
tice to the newspapers in general be-.
sides being ignorant of the attitude of
the newspapers generally. The news
papers did run the packers advertis-
ing and properly. The packers have a
right TO publicity and to present their
side of the question when they are will
ing to pay for 1t and when it is sun as
advertising and every reader knows
that it is advertising. For the senator
to suggest that the packers bought the
newspapers thus-if he did suggest
any such thing-suggests that he was
out the formality Of going thru the
business office. For none knows bet
ter than the senator that as a general
accusation brought against the general
newspapers it is not only unjust but
false.
The senator himself has been the re-
cipient of much publicity from Iowa
newspapers To some it has suggest
ed itself that he was in nowise .ad-
verse to publicity and that he rarely
fails to align himself with movements
that make good headlines. In cam
paigns political advertising is often
bought and paid for and legttimately
SO; but the senator would be the first
TO repndiate the assertion that the paid
political advertisement was g purchase
price of the editorial policy or that his
own free publicity granted freely be-
cause Of his place and leadership is
sordid and looking toward favors and
postoffices.
Public men incline to sheer too oft
en- at the newspapers in public and
plead for their support in private.
Without any doubt some newspapers
base their editorial policy upon the
counting house, some public men and
politicians are owned and controlled
by certain interests also, but general
accusation against congressman and
senators and newspapers as sordid and
salable is both false and unjust when
given general application.

THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST.
rpnrip rltop uoukava

Now that Iowa has definitely de-
cided to pull herself out of the mud.
and is ectualy beginning. TO do so in
number Of counties, the question of
paving material is coming prominently
to the fore.
There are many kinds Of material.
and each one has it's merits. But the
material that is used for boulevards
or for residence streets in the cities
may not be and probably will not be
the best for the rural highways.
And there is another kind that may
not be, in fact is pretty sure not to be
the best-and that is the cheapest. 1t
will be a very good thing. II the fact
will ever be borne in mind, that the
apparent cheapness Of a thing does
not necessarily fix It's value. That is
that thing may appear to be chaep
and be very expensive in the end.
1t will be demonstrated to general
satisfaction. and perhaps after some
counties shall have invested heavily
in some other kind, that the best pave
ment for a country road is the cheap
est. One pavement may last fifty
years. another fifteen. And II the bet
ter cost twice as much, II Is still
cheaper by almost one half than the
apparently inexpensive pavement.
AS to the price-if Iowa can not af-
d it. then no state in the union, no
country In the world can afford the
best road pavement in the world. And
no country can afford to put down
anything but the best. 1is

mantle comedy, which comes today

believe the little star will remain in

packing house, not only had to face
South Side court Wednesday morn
ing on a charge of disturbance, but
had to listen to half dozen women,
all talking at once, telling the court
OF his delinquencies.
Judge Foster managed to gather
from all the talk that Curniac OBJ
iected to his daughter, Stella, stay
ing out late nights and that there
had been a misunderstanding in the
family of TO- The court continued
the case until January 2 to give
Curniac an opportunity to bring
about a reconciliation and peace
with his family.
One of the principal bits of in
formation CLEANED from the bunch
of witnesses who thronged into the
<ourt en- masse was to the effect
that Stanley said he would rather
pay $500 than live with his wife an
hour.
