info advertising in its columns. Win
the cunning of a jackal it sneaks De-
hind the city health officer and at
tennis TO Law the whole mean TRICK
upon him. But the second thought
came TOO late. The public is fully
informed.
With scheming prevarication de-
signed, as usual, to divert attention
from it's dirty work. the "Bunc"
whiningly declares the exposure OF
its Matchmaking practice was due
to an advertisement inserted by the
owner of the meat market. That ad-
vertisement was displayed as an ad.,
signed-and paid for as an ad.
At no time has The Statesman re-
ferred to anything other than the at
tempt at blackmail. For all we know
the butcher shop may be the cleanest
place in the city-or it may not.
But the fact remains that the
owner refused to advertise in the
Evening Bunc" Because Of which
refusal the blackmail was attempted
to force him to advertise in that rag.
Men have been sent to the peniten-
tiary who were proved guilty Of dirty
Matchmaking methods. The guilt, or
innocence, of the victims, was not
taken into consideration by the
courts. Most generally such victims
are guilty-in a measure, at least-Or
they would never submit to black
mail.
Foul men have been known to en-
trap unsuspecting, or weak women
and prey on their fears. The same
methods have been worked with repu-
table, erring business men.
But, when caught dead to rights,
the blackmailer has invariably been
punished, regardless of the degree of
guilt of the woman, or man, black
mailed.
The Statesman believes most en-
phatically in the enforcement Of the
health laws.
1t does not believe in using such
laws for purposes Of blackmail.

Valuable Mules.

A team was driven into Union Fri
day morning which attracted unusual
attention. The team was composed
of six mules driven by a jerk line, the
six mules weighing about 5000 pounds.
The owner of the team purchased the
Ed Lee span Of mules paying for them
$4OO. The value of the four spans is
not much if any short of $1,000. That
is a pretty valuable team for every
day work.-La Grande Observer.

SPEED SWIMMING.
The Difficult Side Stroke and How Il
Is Accomplished

Whether man be swimmer or not,
In taking up new stroke he should
begin with the leg movement only. In
the side stroke it is called the scissors
kick. To acquire it find a place with
water at least three feet in depth, where
you can use either stationary or a
floating support. Take hold of this
support and let your body rest on the
water, on its side, with legs straight
and well together and feet as if stand
ing on tiptoe. Choose the side that
feels most comfortable. Now proceed
to open the legs very slowly, not frog
fashion, but front and back, as in walk
ing. The upper should be brought for
ward almost straight the under. back,
bent to kneeling position. When they
are about two feet apart snap sharply
together.
The position of the body Is un-
changed. Lie on your side, with body
and legs in a straight line; both arms
perpendicularly over your head, and
the palms turned slightly away from
the face. Bring upper arm down
smartly, keeping it rigid at elbow and
wrist, palm of hand open, fingers well
together. Carry it through the wafer

INSURANCE POLITICS

That the grafters of the big insur-
ance companies would not surrender
control of the assets without a strug-
gle went without saying, but nobody
was prepared for the depths of prac-
teal politics to which they appear
prepared to descend in their desper-
ate effort to retain control
Under the Armstrong laws it was
provided that the administration might
file ticket for directors and that the
opposition to that administration
might also file a ticket. The policy
holders We're to vote by mail and the
men selected by these votes should
be the directors. The administration
in both companies has filed it's nomin-
ees, but not content with that it has
crossed the lines and attempted to in
terfere with the nominations of the
policyholders' committee. First the
Mutual named three members of the
policyholders' committee on its list
against their protest and refused to
take their names off the ticket. Then
the Mutual seized the policyholders'
nominees by stealth and has gotten
out a fusion" ticket on which appear
the names of fifteen of the policy
holders candidates. Fifteen other
candidates of the fusion ticket are
members of the administration cir
Gle. Thus it would appear that by
trickery the administration would hold
half the board at least and when the
board organizes attempt to keep it's
control.
Now if the investigation of the New
York Life and Mutual Life meant any,
thing it meant that the whole board
of each company was thoroughly dis
credited. Not all the members par
ticipated in the looting through syn
dicates and groups of financiers, but all
were guilty in the fact that they
allowed these things to go on. They
failed in their duty as trustees and
should be removed. The policyholders'
committee has removed them all ,by
making fresh nominations. The poll
| cyholders are in danger of being be-
logged by the actions of the shrewd
| agency force of both companies is be-
ing used throughout the country to
get the votes of policyholders for the
fusion or the administration ticket.
The less said about the methods en-
be for the reputation of the present
| directors, but at the same time it is
fair to warn policyholders that their
true interests do not necessarily COIN
eide. with the interests of the agents,
They are not under obligations to
agents. Their dealings with them were
purely those of business But the
agents are under obligations to the
management. They are not the best
witnesses as to the character of the
men offered for trusteeship. The best
witness is the history of the companies
under the Mccall and McCurdy re-
gimes.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's disposi-
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths Of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits OF depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like cryingr
Do you feel something like ball ris-

pain in the abdominal region, and

BUCKAROO EXHIBIT.
"Shorty" Has wild Time of II mt the
o. Il. & n. Stocliyartls..


At the o. r. & n. stockyards some
wild horses are now being broken to
ride, and yesterday II performance
was given there that would have been
fine for the buckaroo tournament on
the Fourth of July.
The diverzlon was created by
Shorty, a cook at one of the chop
houses in the city. To thoze in charge
of the horse breaking Shorty made II
known that he could ride anything
that could be brought forth. Accord
ingly and outlaw was selected for him
and he proceeded to mount the ani-
NAL.
According to thoze who saw Shorty
ride it was different from anything
they had ever seen At almost the
first jump he left the saddle and
ascended about four feet. On alight-
ing he struck the saddle, much to the
| establishment of the bytsanders, and
proceeded to ride some more. They
declare that he rode the horse all
over-that is that he was located fol
time in the saddle. upon the horses
neck and behind the saddle FINALLY
he was thrown, and having foot
caut in stirrup was dragged com.
pletely around the corral. Wher
picbt up it was feared that he had
past to that land where the wicked
cease from trembling and there are
no horses to break But to the aston
ishment of all, Shorty had not receiv.
ed Il scratch and he walkt back uu
town fully convinct that life before
chop house range furnishes a safe,
career than does the stock range.
