Thomas Le-Master, charged with talk ing knife out of a mail pouch, was given two years in the training school for boys at Boonville, Mo. Six others were sent to jail at Fort Smith for liquor sales.

SEATTLE'S TRIUMPH.

Seattle is a typical modern city
vigorous, commercial, aggressive,
money-loving, cold-blooded and prac-
teal.
And yet with all these Characters
tics emblazoned on her features she
has just elected a mayor who favors
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties, after the most sharply contested
campaign in the history Of the city.
This proves that the people are
thinking. Seattle is a capitalists city.
She offers unlimited inducements for
investment. Her resources are de-
veloping rapidly. She is dominated
by practical. hard-headed business
men. There may be cranks but they
are not in the ascendancy.
The election of the municipal own
ership candidate proves that the solid
commercial and Industrial classes are
tired Of corporate greed and are
ready to give the people possession OF
their own utilities at the first op-
portunity.
Seattle is thinking along the right
line. 1t is the height Of folly for peo-

OWNERSHIP OF A RIVER.

Suits between sovereign states al
ways present interesting questions,
and the action brought by Kansas
against Colorado in the supreme
court of the United States will be not
able.
The state of Kansas complains
about the theft of the Arkansas river,
which in times past drained and irri-
gated the arid acres of western Kan
sas. Kansas claims that Colorado ir-
rigators, who get the first chance at
the water as it comes from the melt
ing of the mountain SHOWS, are ap-
propriating the whole river.
Except at the time of the spring
flood nothing reaches the Kansas
state line. There is not enough river
for all. and the development of irri-
CATION in Colorado bringing riches to
the farmers of that state, has brought
ruin to long-established farmers of
Kansas.
The Arkansas river runs for 25O
miles through Kansas, and that strip
of territory was once cultivated sue
cessfully. Now farming is a game OF
chance with the cards stacked against
the farmer. Only in exceptional sea-
sons may they hope for water enough
to save the crop.
Cases of this kind on a small scale
have often been in the courts. The
principle has been established that a
stream is property interest, and that
the man whose land it traverses can
recover damages if it is used or di-
verted by some one higher up. The
Kansas-Colorado case is more COM
plex.
The Arkansas river has not been
diverted or used by single man
Each ditch has taken only a small
portion of the flow. The Colorado
farmers have a right to some of the
river, and who shall say how much
They certainly have no right to take
it ALL and Kansas has just grievance
but the settlement of such a contro.
versy would tax the judicial acumer
of Haroun Al Raschid, or the wis.
dom of Solomon.

LOWELL is INDORSED.

The Baker City Herald hastens to
indorse the candidacy of Judge Ste
phen A. Lowell for the United States
senate. In its issue of yesterday the
Herald says:
THE announcement of Stephen A.
Lowell that he is a candidate for
United States senator from oregon
compete =, r. g.. fo- eastern
Oregon. This gives the country east
of the Cascades a candidate for every
office in the state with one or two
exceptions. All we need now is a
good vote for these candidates"
The East Oregonian hopes to see
every paper in eastern Oregon. re-
gardless of politics indorse Judge
Lowell, and make this a campaign for
an eastern Oregon man for the senate.
Sectional pride, fellow feeling and
mutual interest in the needs of this
great portion of Oregon should serve
to cement eastern Oregon in one CON-
mon bond for an eastern oregon man
Judge Lowell is a man in whom the
entire state can safely confide, and
Portland must be fair enough to con-
cede this office to eastern Oregon
once in a quarter of a century.

BE WISE.

Be wise, oh singer nor waste thy
breath
On the wrong the world endures;
Tell the truth and you starve to DEATH
Lie and the world is yours.
What need to pity the muzzled OK
Treading the golden grain
When the same old key today unlocks
The treasures of Drawn and brain.
There is good and bad in every soul,
The angel may rule today,
The devil tomorrow will have control,
Thus holding alternate sway.
But isn't 1t sad? All, saints above,
Must it always be understood
That whenever the angel is long on
love
The devil is short on food?
Truth may be taught in the public
school.
But the scholar, alas, must eat;
And the length and breadth of the
Golden Rule
Is gauged by the price of wheat.
All, God, it's terrible thing to think
That Truth may not WELD the pen
Until she can write in the crimson
ink,
That is crushed from the hearts of
mem
