cAFPlFF'S EXAMPLE DID 1T
o.Ler County Officials Reason for
Enforcing Gambling Laws.

| BAKER CITY, Ore, Aug. 1S.-Sheriff
r..,.n saws that he had two reasons
s,r enforcing the closing law. First,
,..ans4 Of the demand for it's enforce
nsrr # prominent citizens and tax
.,..rs and second, because he did not
,.iaya it right to enforce one law and
lro- another. He declares that he has
.lv3ye been infavor of enforcing the
bus regarding gambling and Sunday
,losfDg but that until Sheriff Word
..,abli-hed the fact that it was the
lory az the sheriff to do so in the alb
ssra4 nf municipal enforcement, he had
,ssn in doubt about his ability to in
-ery,,.r whore the various city officials
rar. npglecting to do their duty. He
said NJ had taken the matter up about
.ao years ago. but that the legal advice
h. obtained was adverse to his right
70 Interfere.
Speakug of the enforcement of one
'4g- and not another, he said there was
friend of his serving a term in the
county jail for violating the law pro-
hitting a saloon within one mile of a
p4,pnted mine, and of his personal
knoWIrdge he knew worse OffenseS
were being committed against the laws
in this county every day. Having, as
h. says. become convinced of his right
and authority in the matter, he decided
to proceed regardless of friend or foe
No one had forced him to act, he said.
Sheriff Brown has made slight
change in his programme. Originally
il was his purpose to proceed Monday
moving, but after looking up the law.
II concluded it would be best to noti-
|fy each city and precinct officer in
Writing that if they did not enforce the
Nv. NJ would proceed to do so at II
o'c6,al midnight Saturday, August 20.

ON THE INSPIRATION
OF WAR.

HI ELL said the Idiot, at the close
Wv Of more or less heated dis
cussion between the Lawyer
and the Doctor on the general subject
OF warfare, there is one thing to be
said on behalf of war. 1t seems to
have always stimulating effect on the
poets. Peace, ef course, is a desirable
condition for most people, and for the
greatest number of trades. but for the
builders Of ships. the manufacturers Of
ammunition and the poets it is
boon"
You leave out the war correspond
ents." said the Bibliomaniac
"No-war for them is not so great a
boon as for the others answered the
idiot. Now that our war correspond
ents are chosen from among the lead
ing pOvelists, photographers and golf
players Of the land. war is rather an
Inconvenience than an unmixed bless
ing TO them. They simply change from
one sphere Of activity to another. and
IN the latter case work under greater
difficulties than i'm the former. and
their imaginations are necessarily
somewhat hampeTed by facts. But your
poet, your poor little chap who is
Scrapiug the bottom OF the box of his
inspiTa ton i'm search Of new abstrac-
lions to write about. and these are the
only things peace brings him to write
about, the great events. and the great
names Of n spirited war bring 10 him
a tremendous reinforcement of inSpiF-
alton and subject matter. This Japan
ese-Russian conflict, for instance. may
mean death 10 thousands i'm Japan and
Russia. but in every other country in
the world il means SO a week extra to
a vast number OF poets who without
this addition 10 their fortunes might
have gone down in the ruck of ruin.

General whO?" demanded Mr..
Whitcchoker. who as a man Of peace
does not read war news on principle
and Is, therefore, not familiar with the
great names Of current history.

breakfast spoiled every day by hearing
from Plug that out OF eighteen battle
