THE NEW MOVEMENT.

The movement in aid Of spelling re-
form, which has been IN slow progress
for several years, has received strong
impetus through the endorsement by
President Roosevelt OF the proposed
change in the spelling OF about three
hundred words in the English Ian.
guage. That has already given prom
inence 10 the work which Ii greatly
needed. and the practical adoption Of
the abbreviated spelling In government
documents will do very much towards
its general acceptance.

No party lines have been drawn on

scribed unqualifiedly to statement No.
l. Lane county has nine candidates

Al over the state candidates have
been compelled to recognize the in

next senator shall be the man who re-

forced to amend their petitions and
come out with a positive pledge to

In Clatsop county about 500 voters
agreed among themselves early in the
campaign that they would not vote
for any candidate who had not SUBJ

result was that with a single excep-

BLACKLIST RICH WOMEN.
Chicago Dressmakers VIII Not BE

Chicago, April 1S.-The dressmak-
ers of Chicago have decided to take
steps to protect themselves against
women who order $4,000 worth of
Easter gowns and suffer a lapse of
memory when the bill is sent to them.
The omnipersent "deadbeat" hence
forth will be baffled by a system of
blacklisting and publicity.
The dressmakers' trust is unani-
nous that the business must be placed
on a war footing. Every business has
its system for investigating the credits
of lis patrons except that of dress
making. said Nine. Schubert, cores

which NO woman who swindles a

Oscar c. Stone, a young would-be
lawyer of Weston, is said to have
turned bogus check artist, and his

not wisely nor too well. He came to
Weston about two months ago from
klamath Falls. and proceeded to en-
gage In the practice of law. But bus
iness was evidently dull in the brick
yard city, and the young lawyer was
forced to find some other means of
raising money with which to Fay his
landlady and other creditors. The
forged check method was adopted
Last Friday, a week ago today,
young Stone left Weston and came to
Pendleton. From here he went to
Spokane.
