Here is a conversation that Wal

J. Pierpont Morgan and John W.
Gates at the time when the latter
was doing some remarkably heavy
plunging both in the stock market
and at the race tracks. Wall street
is recalling it just now with much
interest.
"Mr. Gates, | wish you wouldn't

"The doors are open when I dc

usual bluff fashion.

RENTING A FINE.
Senator Dubois of Idaho during

Senator Dubois of Idaho during
the days when he was practiclng law
in Boise City was on certain occa-
sion sternly reprimanded by the
Judge Of a court in that city be
cause of alleged contempt of court
and in addition was fined in the sum
of $50. The next day, according to
a custom followed in the Idaho
courts, the judge called upon Mr..
Dubois to occupy the bench for him
during The transaction Of some COM
paratively unimportant business.
After the judges departure from
the court room Mr.. Dubois exhibit
ed an instance Of that remarkable
presence of mind for which he has
ever been noted. The future senator
said to the clerk of the court:
"Turning to the record Of this court
for yesterday, Mr.. Clerk, you will
observe recorded a fine of $50
against one Frederick T. Dubois.
You will kindly make Il note to the
effect that such fine has been re-

EpIroR OIL REVIEW

EDIToR OIL REVIEW
Dear Sir:-In looking over the col
umns of your valued paper, I was
surprised at the audactty OF the
questions put to you by your Wolf
Pen correspondent. Sach cues
lions are disgrace to our quiet
law abiding county, Snch refiec
lions cast on our honorable court
and prosecuting attorney are. to
say the least, cowardly. Those
officers were honestly elected by
the good citizens of our county and
The manner In which they nave
filed their trying positions has
proved the wisdom of our peoples
choice. If we had weak dishonor-
able court and prosecuting attorney
could we have one of the foremost
counties In the State? A county
cited for morality, sobriety and
prosperity. Is it not fair and just
to give our officers their share of
praise for the peace and prosperity |?
If they 0have violated their Off
clal oaths, would 1t not be more
honorable to prefer a charge against
them, before the proper tribunal Of
justice, give them an unprej ddiced
trial, and If found guilty, an honest
conviction, than In an off hand way
to maliciously attack them In the
newspapers. Again as to our lately
appointed road supervisor. He is
an honest man, who strictly attends
to his own business, a consistent
member of church, an honest, sober,
and Industrious citizen. He did not
seek the appointment, and the at
tack on him, IS, to say the least,
ungenerous, unmauly aud altogeth,
er uncalled for. He was appointed,
gave the required bond and was
duly sworn into Office. He Is pos
sessed of real estate, and If he does
not fulfil his official obligations his
detractors can make him or his
bondsmau suffer. Is not that
enough? He may not have as much
learning as some of his neighbors,
yet dare say that his daily walk
could be lesson In morality and
sobriety, to some who have had
greater educational advantages
Wishing you every success will
close.
One who wishes to see fair play.
