The Oregonian, with its usual DEM

been done, that tower Of morality, the

Some protests to the complaint de-
partments of the big stores are not
unreasonable. An individual with a
delapidated derby hat and his cheek
torn from eye to chin appeared before
the adjuster of department store the

plalntlvely remarked. "A policeman

adjuster's eyes.
What do you want US to do?" he
asked. :
"Well,' said the victim, II don't
want to be unreasonable. Perhaps il
was partly my fault, and I guess my
race will heal up. But my hats spoil

When It came to naming her towns

How to Escape Liqhtninu.

Excellent authorities agree that in a
thunderstorm the middle of a room is
much the safest place in a house. A
carpeted floor or one covered by a
heavy thick rug is better to stand on
than bare wood. 1t is we'll to keep
away from chimneys and out of Gel
lars. In the open air tall trees are
dangerous. A person sheltered under
a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feet
from a large and lofty tree is quite
safe. If lightning strikes in the i'm
mediate vicinity it will hit the high
tree as a rule. with few exceptions.
Water is very good conductor, and it
is well to avoid the banks of streams
in & violent thunderstorm.

Tenacity That Counts,

In the last analysis, men succeed or
fail in proportion to their ability to
put things through. He who has
learned to grip a purpose and cling
to it until it is accomplished has mas
tered one of the secrets of happy and
effective living. But to do it requires
a bulldog tenacity, like that illustrated
by Gen. Grant when he declared that
he would fight out his campaign if it
took all summer. and by Melville Cox,
one of the first and noblest of Ameri-
can missionaries to Africa, who ex~
claimed at the climax Of his career,
LET hundred men fall before Africa
be given up"

CORN EXPORTERS
SPOIENG MARKET
Cereal Is Shipped in Such Condi-
ton as to Turn Europeans
Against America.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. ia report IS
sued, by the department of commerce
and labor today says it is rather dis
couraging, after the United States has
exhausted every effort to secure markets
for American corn in Europe, to read
reports accusing United States shippers
of a most reprehensible degree of care
lessness in preparing corn for export.
Grain dealers in England and all over
Europe are complaining because Of the
condition of corn they receive, and Their
action has already reached point where
it is preventing an increase OF export
trade. and even threatening radically to
reduce it unless certain reforms are &C.
complished here.
This official statement is Of interest
at present in view Of the bumper corn
CROP in this country and the e1pecta'
ton that export orders are to be IN
creased.
American Consul Brennan, in discuss
ing the situation, says in part: e
"For years complaints on the part OF
importers Of American corn or maize
have been loud and numerous. The Ger
tifcates covering these shipments II
many instances proved to be utterly
false, grain upon arrival here frequently
being in wretched condition, damp anc
firms to whom these shipments were
consigned could find no redress any
where. their losses were very heavy
Time and again American consuls have
sent in reports on this subject, warning
our people interested in export Of THU
particular grain not to, ship any bu
corn Of prime quality, but to the pres
ent time all efforts in this direction
| have beer Of no avail.'. 49,.

CLEMENT FAILS
OF A NEW TRIAL
The Aged Faribault Banker Will
Probably Be Sentenced
on Monday.

Judge Page Morris at st. Paul to-
day, denied the motion for q new trial
for Thomas B. Clement, the aged bank
er, who was convicted last July on
twenty-four counts charging misappli-
cation of funds and other wrong doing,
as president of the First National bank
Of Faribault. It is expected that SEN
tence will be imposed Monday morning.
Attorney Baxter occupied about an
hour this morning in concluding his
plea in behalf, Of the defendant. he
sought to impeach the testimony of
Charles ". Whitney. claiming that
Whitney stood, by his own statements
as perjurer and forger, and an accom-
plice in whatever crime may have been
committed.
District Attorney Houpt had little tt
say, as the views Of the court, which
were briefly expeur<~ on each ano
every point braoched by the defense en-
tirely conceded with tn contntions OF
the government.
The court considered that the testi
mony to the admission of which the
defense objected was closely interviewer
ment and had direct bearing upor
them. Regarding the contention thai
the law provided that the jurors SHOULD
be drawn from the local district and MOI
from the state at large, the court helt
that the state itself was one distric1
and it's six parts were divisions.
The Judge dwelt at some length or
the question Of the health of the de
fendant. At the" time of the trial hi
was unmindful Of the feeble condition
of Mr.. Clement. At that time he felt
somewhat disposed to grant a continu
ance, but, after thinking the matter
over, he considered that he had no guar
antee that the accused would be in any
better physical condition six months
| later than he was at that time.

FOR MIDSHIPMAN
Cadet Who Fought in Fatal
Prize Fight Must
Face Trial.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Secretary Bo-
naparte today ordered courtmartial
for the trial Of Midshipman Minor
Meriweather, Jr., third class at the An
napolis naval academy, in connection
with the death Of Midshipman Branch,
which followed a fstic encounter be-
tween the two naval students.
President Roosevelt has decided that
he will use all the influence at his COM
mand to break up the practice of prize
fighting by midshipmen at the naval
academy. He has directed the officers
Of that institution to furnish him with
much detailed information regarding
the death of. Branch and the practice
Of the midshipmen engaging in fist
fights in the regular professional way.
When this information is in the hands
of the president, thru the secretary, of
the navy, he will issue some orders
which Mr.. Roosevelt believes will stop
the practice.
