Samuel Bowles, like his father, understood his Dvusiness; had ideas of his own as to' what newspaper should be and worked along that line. He had a penchant for thoroughness; this feeling ever present in The Republican and when' an article appeared on the edi- torial page of that paper it was com- plete in every detall, those who read it understood the subject treated and that wae the intention of the writer. That is why so many sought out its {pages, why the paper was so widely read and so extensively quoted. The man who was back of all this was in reality a newspaperman first, last and all the time. He was Interested in his home town; he sald a great deal in f#ts favor, in fact he sald all that could be sald and it was always towards the right end—the better- ment of the city. He was an authority on that subject, the Sunday edition of the Republican covered that field very completely and there 1s scarcely any doubt but public officials were in- spired to do greater things by the timely and encouraging articles on its pages. Mr. Bowles was not an old man either, as ages are now reckoned; only 63, and nowadays men are doing thefr best work at that time of life, It was not because of any infirmities thag he died. There was no fllness to speak of, the end being sudden and he dled in the midst of his greatest periol ot usefulness and those who knew him personally and the thousands who only read his paper, mourn for him as an acquaintance, as a friend. The Republican is built on a solid foun- dation and the sudden demise of its publisher will hardly make any differ- ence with the paper, except that it will miss for a long time the hand that gulded it so carefully and was so solicitous for the success feature of the work. a great loss. eminent he a was of every That 1n itself is THAW ACQUITTED. Harry Thaw has been acquitted of the charge of conspiring to break out of the Matteawan insane asylum and so have his associates. It was prob- ably an unexpected verdict because there is no doubt but that he escaped, that he had outside aid and that 1t had to be arranged for, The jury, however, said he was not guilty of conspiracy and that settles that mat- ter. What will be done with him now, will he be sent back to Matteawan, or to New Hampshire, or will he be given his liberty? Thaw has not been the kind of a man on which to expend any sym- pathy; he has been an idler, a profii- gate and eneded his career while at Iiberty by taking a human life. He was acquitted of the charge of murder on the ground of insanity and sent to Matteawan, from which he escaped, If Thaw has regained his sanity he certainly ought not to be kept in a madhouse. It would seem as if there can be no disagreement on that point. There is some evidence that Thaw is not of unsound mind now and the reason for it is his actions on the wit- ness stand in the conspiracy case. His embarrassing questions For instance, when he was asked if he was insane when he killed Stanford White he re- plled that a jury and the district at- torney said he was. It may be that his counsel anticipated this question and suggested the answer, but no such answers were cleverly given. on | information was brought out on the witness stand and taking his testi- mony as it was given and his general manner it can hardly be truthfully sald that there was anything about it that suggested insanity. He ought to have a fair chance now on that issue as a matter of fairness under the law. The question of sanity ought to be tested so that it cannot be sald that the law denied a man a chance that person ought to have.
