The Laura Morgan mystery at Col
fax has been solved by the finding of
the body of the missing girl on sand
bar in the Palouse River. A searching
party started out Monday morning in
boats, wagons and on foot to make a
thorough and systematic search OF the
river. Mrs. Morgan, mother of the
dead girl, drove down the river in a
hack. Mr.. Stoneberger, father of Mrs.
Morgan, discovered the body. 1t was
lying on its back, fully dressed. Mrs.
Morgan was nearly crszed when the
body WAS found. She was on the OPP
posite bank OF the river, and it re-
quired the efforts of number of per-
sons to restrain her from plunging
into the river to reach the body of her
daughter. Laura Morgan disappeared
March II. She had been suspended
from school for one day for a slight in.
fraction of the rules, and left school
with two books under her arm. Next
morning her cap was found on a
bridge mile from town and her
books on the bank of the river near
the bridge. A search of the river
failed to find the body, and but a few
believed she had committed suicide
A search was made as far South a,
Los Angeles and East to Texas, as il
was thought she had dressed in boys
clothing and ran away, as she had
threatened to do.

Penuriousness or Dignity-Whichp

notes the fact that seventeen phvsi-
clans Of that city who lately organized
a medical society, huxtered printing
Job, involving an expense OF very few
dollars, about the city, to get COM
petitiye poverty-rate for its execution,
without the prospect of any possible
saving being more than a matter of a
few cents. Our contemporary peril
nently asks, why it is that this spirit
Is so frequently manifested (and not
by doctors alone) towards the printer?
Would the learned doctors-or any
body else-it asks, if the necessity ex-
isted for the purchase of a clean shirt,
a piece of neckwear, pair of shoe
strings or a collar, consider it in ac-
cord with professional or ordinary eth
les to prepare list OF the articles and
submit them to the various merchants
in town for bids?
Another thing those entering the
profession OF medicine are taught is to
avoid newspaper means of professional
advertisement, as the ignorant traveller
is enjoined to avoid the mythical
fumes OF the upas-tree. Still, it has
been noted that, these same mentors
are ever-ready to run their legs off, if
10y it they may secure mention in a
report of some presumably difficult
surgical operation, or in connection
with the discovery OF some alleged spe-
citic for human ills. The action OF
the Walla Walla medicos would seem
to indicate that it may be the result
of economic considerations solely, al
though the claim has been persistently
made that it is to avoid the prevailing
custom of quacks in the profession.
This extraordinary claim for profess
sional dignity can hardly be supported
in the presence of such facts as the
Statesman holds up for public inspec-
ton.

Great Fires of Modern Times.

The Jacksonville (Fla) fire, al
though involving the loss Of lis solid
blocks OF buildings and property to
the value of 15,O00,0OO, was but
blaze in comparison with some other
great fires of the last century. The
great Chicago fire, in 1871, which de-
vastated 2,lO0 acres, an area about
mile wide in places and 81 miles long,
consumed $4,000 buildings and rem
dered 100000 people homeless. The
value of the property destroyed was
estimated at $l"2O00,00O, and $50
lives we're lost. The same year, fire
in Paris, set by the Commune, de-
stroyed property to the value OF $780,
100000 Other great fires were of
Moscow, in 1912, with loss OF $780,
100000; St. Thomas, III 1905, 100000
000 New York, 1885, $l5,000,O00;
Hamburg, 1912, $35,000,OO0, 100 lives
and 1920 buildings; Constantinople,
1918, $15,OOO,O0O, and in 1870, the
same city, SIG, 100000; Boston, 1872,
100000, and Seattle's great ire of
1889, involving n loss of $20,000,O0O
Many fires with loss running well
into the millions, but less than the es-
innate of the Jacksonville disaster,
and quite number Of which no relia-
BILE estimate OF loss has been given in
money equivalent, have occurred dur
ing the century, but no year exceeds
that in gloomy pre-eminence 1871,
when Chicago burned. 1t was that
year the great forest fires in Wiscon-
sin and Michigan swelled the aggre.
gate by about three millions, with an
estimated loss of 1000 human lives.

A Threadbare Fad.

! \ late dispatch announces that the
trustees and Faculty of Harvard Uni
verslty have voted on the question
and passed resolution having for its
object the comforting OF the degree Of
l.. l.. d., doctor Of Laws upon Presi-
! dent Mckinley at its next commences
mont, in June.
Now this action is well known by
all cOllege-bred men to he in glaying
violation OF old established academic
rules and regulations The degree OF
Doctor OF Laws is the highest and
most exalted honor in the gift oil any
college or university in the world, aud
primarily implies that the recipient
has passed through a thorough scholas-
TIC career, either literary, scientific or
theological, and that he is either in
actual possession OF, or tacitly entitled
to, all the minor degrees leading up to
that OF l.. l.. ID. So time -honored and
sacred is this principle held in Eu-
rope, that the University of Oxford,
England, was shaken to its center
over an attempt once made by the adj
mirers OF prominent unlearned po-
litical agitator to have conferred on
him one Of the higher degrees of that
institution. The question was sum-
marily voted down by an overwhelm-
ing majority Of the University trus-
tees. But the case is altogether of a
different complexion in this, the sum-
merland OF fads. Especially has this
become true within the last half CEN
fury.
In little volume now before us,
entitled University Degrees; what
they mean; what they indicate; and
how to Use them," we are distinctly
told that the degree OF L. l.. ID. is con-
ferred only upon men who, having
first completed thorough university
course of not less than six years close
application, have become eminent in
some one OF the great departments of
human knowledge. Has President
Mckinley achieved this distinction?
From small lawyer he has been
made Chief Executive of great ma
ton, just like other men before him
who made no pretentions to distin-
guished literary or scientific acquisi-
ton.
The author of the little book we
have cited ought to know what he is
writing about, for he is himself grad
uate of Harvard University and sports

A Real Hero.

Ancient history records many ex-
amples OF determined men becoming
heroes under most trying difficulties,
but Tacoma young man would seem
to eclipse them all, if we may Judge
from the way the papers of that city
show him off to the world.
Under glazing headlines, they an
nounced that he played game of
base ball with broken thumb, to
save the good name of his beloved
city and his team won the immortal
honors of the day.
Now broken thumb would dis
qualify any professional athlete from
active duty, but this young man was
one OF the high officers OF his team
and born patriot, so he braved the
dangers of the combat; fought with
desperation and was borne off the field
all covered with glory and mud and a
bleeding thumb. But he saved the
city OF his adoption.
"Great Caesar" he cried, shall the battle be
given,
And all bat their leader be there"
And he rushed to the fray Ikea warrior OF
With the skin OF his thumb all bare!
Why, such an exploit deserves a
cockney pean from the great Kipling
himself. Where are the Tacoma
poets?

IT is the opinion of Jules Siegfried,
Frances Minister of Industry and
Commerce in the cabinet of 1891
and 1892, that if the great trusts Of
this country encroach upon the Euro
pean markets to the detriment of their
trade, there will be a combination of
the commercial countries OF Europe
to raise the tariff on American goods
to almost prohibtive figures.
