Reflections on
The "UnWritten Law"

If juries be a fair criterion of real
public opinion, there is an interesting,
and apparently wide and ever widen
ing, divergence of opinion between the
public press and the public on the
question of how far a man should be
allowed to go in statutory murder for
the satisfaction of private vengeance
The Loving case is one illustrating
instance of recent date, with the
Bowie case in Maryland even more
recent, and the FavrOt case in Louis
lana but little more removed in point
of time.
In each of the Atlantic coast cases,
a parent slew the man accused of
running young girl. The jury in the
Loving case acquitted, so the jury
men say, on the ground that the
fathers mind was virtually unbal-
Anced by his grief and shock at his
daughters narrative, which put the
Sead Estes in moral position akin

case, the infant in arms justified the
Jury, at least in its own mind. in ac-
quitting the slayer 'rely and simply
on the reasoning that constitutes the
''unwriten law" In the case from
Louisiana, the unwritten law obtained
with a second grand jury after an in
dictment for murder had been
quashed. In this case, therefore, The
facts never transpired in the indis-
putable form of sworn testimony, and
all that is known by the public is
that the slain physician made dam

that he refused to retract, and was
slain by the husband after "a hours
notice that non-retraction would mean
shooting to kill on sight.

Higher Education in Florida.

Wnll6 FIOf10a is making great pro-
gress along other lines, it is a crafty
ing fact that her institutions of higher
learning are also keeping abreast of
the times in the matter of education.
The University of the state of Flor
ida, located at Gainesville, and the
Florida Female College, at Tallahas-
see. are now firmly established insti-
tutions and are prepared to do as
good work as any institution of SINH
lar character in the country.
While these schools are already as
we'll acquainted cmfwypcmfwypcmfw
well equipped as many others, yet the
state wishes to make her schools the
very best. The legislature OF 1907
appropriated $150,900 for each of
these institutions. the money to be ex-
pended largely for new buildings.
The University offers courses in
civil engineering, mechanical en-
gineering, electrical engineering, ag-
regular literary courses. Short
courses, not leading to degrees, are
offered in pedagogy, agriculture and
mechanic arts.
The Female College, at Tallahassee,
has a school of fine arts-including
music, art and expression-2 college
of liberal arts, a school for teachers,
a school of domestic science. In the
school for teachers the training for
kindergarten teachers is made an i'm
portant feature Only the best teach
ers are employed in these schools and
consequently thorough instruction is
given in every department.

these institutions is so small that no

WENATCHEE TO SOON have
ANOTHER FIRST GLASS HOTEL
Austin, Proprietor of the Chewawa Cafe
Will Establish Fine Hostelry in
Miller Groves Block.

The Chewawa will have 58 rooms,
occupying the entire upper floor OF
the Groves block. The Office and
lobby will be on the ground floor.
The building is furnished with a
steam heating plant and every room
will be supplied with a radiator, hot
and cold water and a telephone. The
furnishings will be of the very best
throughout. There will be two
suites provided with baths and four
public baths besides. Mr.. Groves
promises to have the building COM
pleted by the first of May, and Mr..
Austin will leave for Seattle in a
day or two to make arrangements
for securing the furnishings and fix
lures for the hotel. 1t is his purpose
to place the Chewawa Hotel in the
same class with the Chewawa Cafe,
and he promises that will be more
of surprise than a disappointment

Mead will attend that meeting. He
may indicate the manner in which he
desires the commission to organize,
but If he does not, Senator r. w.
Condor, residing in Kitsay county
and within easy reaching distance of
Seattle, is the most likely candidate
for the craftsmanship. Representative
Hornberger took an active interest
in the fair bills, but he lives at
Spokane and would not be in as close
touch with the exposition affairs as
Senator Condor.
A meeting between the state COM
mission and the directors of the fair
corporation must be held soon af-
ter the organization. The two boards
have to work in harmony and a
thorough understanding will have to
be had at the outset Plans for the
fair will have been completed by
that time by Landscape Architect J..

tect John Galen Howard and the
state commission will be asked to
inspect them. II possible the expo
sition directorate wants the state
fair commission to erect at least one

will have plenty of authority and
plenty of funds for that purpose.

FARNELL GIVES
UP POSITION
Resigns Fruit Inspector job in Favor
of Nj. j. Vessels, Well Known
HOrticuIturist.

"a
1t will occasion no little surprise
throughout the community to learn
that George HI. Farwell, County Hor-
ticultural Inspector, has resigned in
favor of M. J. Vessels, of Idaho.
Mr. Farwell resigned the highest
salaried position in the county be-
cause he conscientionsly felt that in
SO doing the best interests of the
fruit growers would be served. Since
George Farwell located in this valley
years ago he has ever shown the
same unselfish public spirit which to-
day prompted him to resign in favor
of another; Mr. Vessels, Mr.. Far
well, says, is one of the ablest fruit
experts in the country. As commits
,sioner to the ST. Louis and Portland
expositions in charge of horticul-
tural exhibits, Mr.. Vessel made quite
a. name for himself, and George
Farwell, himself a fruit expert of
ability, knew the Idaho man to be
well qualified for the position he
sought. And in fairness to Mr.. Wes-
sell, it must be said that when he
first came here he went first to Mr..
Farwell, and told him that he, Wes-
sell, would under no conditions seek
the appointment unless Mr.. Farwell
should decide to resign, of his own
