zEMS7VO congress Law IS Defective
HUSBAND CANNOT RECOVER FOR
Loss OF wife.
State Supreme Court Says There
Is N0IPrOviSi0n:: in.the tStatutes
Of the State-CannOt Be Held
That Legislature Meant to Say
More Than II Did.

Olympia, July;;19.-Under the laws
of Washington husband. cannot main.
tain a suit for damages for the loss OF
his wife, according to decision of the
supremef court rendered yesterday in
the Seattle case of Christian johnson
and son against the Seattle Electric
Company.
Mrs. johnson was killed in an acct.
dentswhile passenger on the street
car lines at Seattle. Suit was brought
and the lower court sustained a demur.
rer to the complaint, holding that sep
arate causes of action had BEEN inprop
erlv united.
The King county court held that
the action for loss Of services, society,
nurture and counsel was a separate
and distinct cause of action from the
claim for recovery on account Of fu.
neral expenses and burial, and that
the widower had no interest in the first
and the son none in the second.
The supreme court discusses the con.
struction Of the state law which au.
thorizes a widow and heirs to bring
suit to recover for the loss of the hus.
band and provider, and says that with
the construction already given Of thif
statute it cannot be held that the legis.
lature intended to confer the right OF
action upon surviving husband, else
the law would have said so.
"Charlee johnson has, therefore, nc
cause of action, RESPONDENT comedies
he is entitled to recover any amount
paid for funeral expenses, but cannot
join his action therefor with the action
on behalf of minor child lor the loss
Of the mother. In this we concur"
The court points out that the child
has the right to maintain an action
under the statute, but elected to stand
on the original pleadings at the time
the demurrer was sustained.

Everything Through Christ.

The power to set the heart right, to
renew the springs of action, comes
from Christ. The sense Of the infinite
worth Of the single soul, and the re-
are the gifts of Christ. The freedom
from guilt, the forgiveness Of sins,
come from Christ's cross; the hope Of
immortality springs from Christ's
grave. Personal conversion means for
life personal religion, personal
trust in God, personal debt to Christ,
a personal dedication to his cause.
These, brought about, how you will,
are supreme things to aim at.-Henry
Drummond.

In Tune with the Divine,

Did you ever see orchestras getting
ready to play? They take tuning
fork that Is at the concert-pitch, and
strike 1t, and get the note exactly, and
chord the instruments, one after an
other taking the PITCH and all Of them
at last coming into harmony. 1t makes
no difference If they played only two
hours ago. they are obliged. at every
performance, to repeat the same oper-
alton; and frequently 1t has to be re-
peated two or three times, IL the per-
Torrance is long.
Now, no man can chord his heart
so that 1t will go without tuning from
one day to another. Every day we
must take the Word Of God as the
concert-pitch, and tune our hearts up
to that; and we must do it not only
every day, but many times day. We
must do it SO often that we shall have
something more than vague concep-
ton of Christ.-Rev. II. w. Beecher

TRADE AT HOME.

The Baker City Democrat gives a
word of warning and advice to its
readers which is worthy of being re-
printed in every country paper in Or
egon. Readers of the East Oregon
ian are urgently requested to read
and remember this bit of advice for
it will mean dollars and cents saved
in the end. The Democrat says:
Baker county people who contem-
plate going to the Lewis and Clark
fair and who are saying their money
to make purchases in Portland rather
than at home under the belief that
better prices can be obtained in Port
land. are laboring under a great mis-
take.
1t is safe to say that those who are
foolish enough to do this will be the
victims of "gold brick" Just as
fashionable goods and of as good
quality can be obtained from home
merchants and at less price than in
Portland. especially when the Port
land dealers take advantage of the op-
portunity offered by big crowds at the
fair to give purchasers any old thing
at exorbtant prices. What do they
care? They'll never see you again
and if you are sucker enough to fall
into their net they will not lose the
chance to fleece you good and strong.
Take the advice of the Democrat
and buy of your home dealer whom
you know is on the square. This will
keep your money at home and add to
home prosperity. The Lord knows
enough money will go from this COM
munity for railroad fares without
dumping much more into the laps
of the department stores.

pledged itself to stand by any inn
provement the city might make abut-
ting its property months ago, and is
now willing and anxious to pay its
share of the improvement 1t can
only speak for itself but the council
knows there will be no opposition to
the proposed Improvement 1t knows
that interviews from prominent citi-
zens who would be most vitally inter-
ested have been repeatedly published
in this paper, every one of which was
favorable to the improvement.
1t will not be nNSessary to go in
debt $4,000, as the committee de-
clares. There is over $4,000 now in
the city treasury, available for i'm
provement purposes and the rock
crusher and roller to be purchased
will be permanent additions to the
property of the city and need not be
paid for at once. Dozens of firms are
anxious to sell these implements at
reasonable prices and on almost any
terms proposed by the city. The bor-
ders of the city on the west contain
thousands of tons of rock that could
be crushed largely with city prison
ers, and if the council delays this
another year it will do the city and
itself an injustice. as there is no ex-
cuse for the delay.
The council says it is not delaying
this work because a few people have
advocated the closing of gambling.
This impression has gained wide pub
licity. 1t remains for the council to
prove what it says by beginning the
improvement, before it is too late to
complete it this year.

SMOTHER SUCH SENTIMENT.

A sentiment was given utterance
at the Echo picnic on Saturday which
the East Oregonian regrets having
heard within the borders of Umatilla
county
A. Bennett, editor of the Irrigon
Irrigator and promoter of the land
and water scheme at Irrigon, in a
speech before the people assembled
at the Echo picnic, severely ridiculed
and belittled the work of the recla-
nation department and dramatically
importuned the people to drive the
engineers out of the county and state,
as they were hindering private devel-
opment and making no headway in
government work.
People of Umatilla county, listen.
Oregon has contributed over $4,000
coo to the reclamation fund. The
state contains millions of acres of
arid lands, under projects that cannot
be reached by private enterprise. In
stead of driving out the government
engineers. at the command of the
water spectators, invite them to
come and more thoroughly study and
survey the state, in hopes of return
ing some part of this fund we have
contributed, in the way of reclaimed
lands and happy settlements.
The Oregon Land and Water COM
pany of Irrigon would like very
much to drive the government out of
Oregon irrigation districts, as 1t
would give that monopoly a firmer
hold on more land and water belong
ing to the people. If they can ridi-
cuIe and belittle and condemn the
work of the government and create
an adverse sentiment against gov
ernment irrigation, they can secure
larger holdings, and thus perpetuate
the speculation in water belonging
to the sovereign people.
This is a bad sentiment. 1t is un'
lust to Oregon. 1t is unjust to the
government and while it will not have
any effect, yet it should not be coun'
tenanced in any public manner.
The government necessarily moves
slowly. It is not building up tenn
porary boom. 1t Is laying founda
tions for generations and generations
and people should not make the mis-
take of discouraging government de
velopment, no matter how far distan
il seems to be.

IMPROVE THE STREETS.

The street improvement committee
makes a very weak defense against
the charge that the council is making
a play to the galleries in the matter
of calling off the proposed improve
ment.
Why did Councilman Sewell warm
ly declare that It was mot necessary
to depend upon the gamblers for i'm
provements," If the closing of gam
bling had not influenced the council
to abandon, for the present, the pro-
posed improvement? This statement
was made in open council and must
have had its origin in the fact that
the council had determined to aban-
don the improvement for that very
reason.

sTEvENsoN's PHILOSOPHY.

1t is better to lose health like a
spendthrift than to waste it like a
miser. 1t is better to live and be done
with it than to die daily in the sick
room. By all means, begin your folio;
even if the doctor does not give you
year, even if he hesitates about
a month, make one brave push and
see what can be accomplished in a
week 1t is not only in finished un-
dertakings that we ought to honor
useful labor. A spirit goes out of the
man who means execution which out
lives the most untimely ending. All
who have meant good work with their
whole hearts have done good work.
although they may die before they
have time to sign 1t. Every heart
that has beat strong and cheerfully
has left a hopeful impulse behind 1t
in the world, and bettered the tradi-
tions of mankind.-Robert Louis Ste
venson.

A Question Of Great Moment.

The ability of the various section Of
our common country to take the initia-
tive in inaugurating large enterprises
has depended, and will always depend,
on the cooperation Of transportation
lines that are to reach out for new bus
mess. Where 1t has been found that
that business could be extended or new
traffic created, railroads have found it
to their interest to aid communities
along their lines. Shall the control of
the initiative be surrendered to the In
terstate Commerce Commission? Will
the great centers OF business Oh the
seaboards, on the Gulf, on the Great
Lakes, in the interior, take the view
that someone is a better Judge of their
interests than they are? This is ques-
ton of the greatest possible moment.

Two Canals

The world and the rest of mankind
are interested in the construction of the
isthmian canal, and we sometimes hear
the mighty project spoken of as too
great and too expensive for even the
U. S. government to bring to a success
ful completion.
1t may surprise our readers to learn
that the state of New York is con-
structing q new barge line $50 miles in
length. the cost of which will equal and
probably exceed tnat of the Panama
canal. And yet we hear nothing Of
New York's IN ,bility to complete this
great work the estimated cost of which
is $lOl, 900, 900, which is perhaps too
low by $50, 900.
Both canals and other works, equally
stupendous, will soon become the tri-
umphs of the twentieth century.
