The End Seat.

Have you ever noticed' said a pas senger on a street car, how man or woman will take the end seat on car and thus block up the whole seat by so doing? Not alone does this habit exist upon streets cars. but in churches, the atres. halls in fact, everywhere that peo- pie assemble and are seated
 T know men who will shut off three or four vacant seats while other parts of the car are overcrowded. This is selfshness pure and simple, and downright bad manners as well. Even ladies are very often transgressors along this line, and consider a request to move up piece of impudence on the part of the person making the request. The best authorities upon the subject give as a definition for a lady or a gentlemen a person who makes people feel at ease in their com- pany while those who cause embarrass- ment or discomfort are nameless unless they are called legion"

Dialect Literature.

Improvement along any line is uphill work" said literary student. "and this applies to writing and speaking as much as to anything else.
 "The pernicious. effect that dialect liter ature has upon our language is almost in calculable.
 Ut may be very true picture to put the words gwin teo' for going to Into the mouth of the person supposed to be speaking, but let that sort of dialogue be kept up for any length of time and the reader is sure to acquire the habit.
 If We are to have literature let us have 1t at once instructive and entertaining. Without giving name, I will say that some of the most popular novels recently published are simply photographic repro auctions of ignorance, illiteracy and vul- garity. This is reactonary, downwards, destructive and in the end will defeat all our efforts to rise to higher plains"

Forgery and SwindIlnu tn Paris.

Forgery and Swlndling in Paris.
 The trial of the Humberts in Paris brings before the public an adventurer who outdid Becky Sharp and all the swindlers of fiction. Not one of them approaches Mime. Humbert either in duration or scope of operation.
 Over twenty years ago young woman claimed she had been left fortune of $2o,0O00OO by two Ameri- can brothers named Crawford, in re. turn for kindness on her part. The will was contested, so Mme. Humbert said, by the nephews of the Crawfords. On this basis Mime. Humbert proceeded to build a career unexampled in tue history of swindling. In one way and another she borrowed $12,000,0O0 from banks, millionaires and the common people. She had married Humbert, and the entire family are on trial in the pa1ais de justice. One of the fam. fly started an insurance company, and when 1t failed thousands of poor peo- pie lost all their savings.
 After a career full of social and po- litical influence the swindlers were ex- posed, and Paris stood ready to tear them to pieces as the greatest swim dlers of the age, but when Mime Hum- bert told her story she won sympathy, and today in the trial she Is in sense heroine. She is so resourceful, go adroit, so courageous even to the point of insolence, that she commands a hearing and considerable popular sup port. And yet she has not a bit of case. She is but swindler, and her victims are numerous. No doubt the entire family will be convicted, but they will long be remembered as Americans who had amazing assurance and coolness and resourcefulness in the face of the court and of the evil dence. No Crawfords are forthcom- ing, and no will.

WHAT TOLSTOI THINKS
 OF AMERICAS FUTURE

and high thinking would prove the ruin of the trusts. They would die for lack of support People would soon accus- tom themselves to do without trust pro- ducts, and then the paramount economic question of the century would be settled
 This method of destroying industrial monopolies may commend itself to the judgment of the Russian author and idealist, but it is improbable that it will arouse enthusiasm in the United States
 Even if all the inhabitants of our cities were to take to the fields they could not escape from the clutches of the trusts. They would need oil for their lamps. and MT. Rockefeller controls the oil sup ply of the United States. They would need coal for their stoves, and all the anthracite fuel in this country Is in the possession of a trust. They could not have railroads without buying steel from MT. Morgan's combination. They could not till the soil without the agricultural implements that are manufactured by trust If they wanted glass for their win- dows they could be forced to buy from monopoly. IT crades were required TOT domestic purposes, they would have to deal with a furniture trust. And when they were ready to be buried they would probably find that a coffin trust con- trolled the oupt of those reeeptacles which are esental to decent burial. Count Tolstoi is an interesting idealist, but idealism does not equip a student for dealing with economic questions. The Russian reformer does not know that the trust principle enters into nearly every industry in the United States. and that even the farmers are talking about form ing gigantic combinations. Trusts un- occasionally tend to public oppression and hardship. but it would be difficult to beat them by taking to the woods.

As soon as he accepted the post of fifth and potential arbitrator, fourteen thousand men went at once to work! Think of thati! Who else had power by turn of the hand to put fourteen thousand strong men at work? And they are at work fully content to rest their case in Judge Gray's hands. The operators are alike content It is happy result of mutual good sense and fair play. It is a triumph of reason and justice over force and passion. It Is the twentieth century at it's best.

To Enforce School Attendance.

County School Superintendent Dickey
states that a strong effort will at once be
made to compel parents and guardians
to comply with the state law which re-
quires the attendance upon the public
schools of all children between the ages
of eight and Is years There is said to
be a large number of such delinqucnts
in this school district where childre.
m, required to attend school at least
six months OF the year. For violation
of the compulsory school law penalty
of $25 to $50 is provided for each infrac-
ton. and it is thought if an example or
two is made of those who allow their
children to loiter on the streets and avoid
the schools that the effect will be salu-
tary.

Pat O'Donneli, a wayfarer, had his
foot severely crushed while attempting
to board westbound freight near the
depot last night. He caught hold of a
car door and endeavored to swing him
self upon the rods under the car, when
the iron he had hold of pulled out and
his foot slipped under Il moving car. DR..
Frank had the injured man removed to
the hospital where the injury was ex-
amined but the swelling was so great
that it is not yet determined whether
the foot will have to be amputated or
not.
O'Donnell was released from the coun-
ty Jail Il few days ago, where he had been
placed on suspicion of being the party
who recently assaulted Mrs. Petit.

A Great Play and a Great Actress

Florence Roberts Interpretation OF
"Zaza" last Friday evening attracted
large audience and was one Of the best
performances eyer witnessed in this city.
Miss Roberts is truly a great artistic and
she was supported by superb company,
While there is considerable comedy in
the play, the trend of the action oi
"Zaza" is extremely pathetic in its vivid
realism, and with true genius Miss Rob
erts played upon the emotions Of her
audience so that at times there were
few dry eyes in the house, at least among
the ladies "Zaza" in the hands of
Florence Roberts is far from democrat
izng play as it has been pronounced by
some critics. 1t is safe to say that her
portrayal made every woman in the
audience grateful that her lot had been
east in more pleasant places than
was that of the poor orphaned street
waif who started all wrong because she
knew not the right, but who finally
emerged from her immoral envirnment
a noble woman when she had learned
through the prattle OF innocent child
hood and the better nature awakened
by the one great Overpowering love that
came into her life, the difference,between
right and wrong. No,true woman could
witness the heart agony that came to
Zaza through her ignorant folly without
a feeling of loathing for such a career.
Miss Roberts makes her auditors feel
all this SO WILDLY that their emotions
connot be restrained She is indeed
great.

QUESTION OF DIFFERENCE
Who SHALL IRRIGATE?
Citizens fleet at Commercial Club to
Discuss Reclamation of State
Lands.

At a largely attended meeting of the
CONNIE cial Club last night, the ques-
ton of the az cement between State
Land COMMISSIONS Callve't and the
Washington Irrigation Company for the
reclamation of $4,000 acres of state land
in the lower part of the county, was ami
matedly discussed.
Mess-s. Englehat and John Rudkin
were marshalling the fo'ces for the COM
pany, lille large number of citizens
of North Yakima took the opposition.
NJ. Callvert was present, and took Nh
int ested part in the discussion, occasi-
onally Offering an inte polation to heal
the threatened b caches in amity that
were frequently threatened. After
long session, which offered ample oppor-
tunity fo- forensic fourishes, no definite
action was taken, but the meeting was
adjou, ned until II O'Clock this morning
When the meeting was called to order
today, after a few preliminary skim
ishes, the following motion was put and
carried:
THAT We request the Washington
delegation in congress to obtain from
the Int Tor Department an extension
of time TO the select IN and reclamation
of lands under the Ca ey act, in Kitti.
tas and Yadima counties"
A copy of this esolutiIn was ordered
presented to Commissioner Calvert and
the Secretary Of the Interior.
Under the terms of the Carey act,
coded to this state must be selected and
reclaimed thin ten years ON its pas
sage, the time 70 reclamation thus ex-
piring on the 18th Of next August.
In the Arguments I esented to the
Citizens meeting, supporters OF the
proposition TO allow the irrigation COM
pany to enter into the proposed con-
| tract With the state land comm ssioner,
reiterated the statement that the com
pany already had water enough to cover
the land in question, and did not ask
nor expect to have any concessions in
the matte of sto age reservoirs at the
head alters of the Yakima.
On the other hand, it was contended
that it as against public policy to cut
the public domain up in small sections
for reclamation, as such action would
tend to keep out large- schemes, such as
the proposed nighttime ditch of Messrs.
Mares and Judson, and that in addition
the Sunnysde company VAS falsifying
the record in the statement that its
present ditch and water app OPP iation
were sufficient to cover all the lands
under discussion; that the corporation
did not fu nish alter enough for people
already having cont acts under the
ditch, etc.
The net results of the gathering seem
to leave the matter in about its former
shape, with the addition of another lit
tie resolution.
W. n. Granger of the Washington IT.
rigation Company, and several other
Sunnysiders favoring that organizations
proposal are in the city, but were not in
evidence at the meeting.
Mr.. Mares was present at the meeting
today, and stated that his company in
few days would have report from its
engineers, which would enable them to
ascertain definitely what they would do.
