IT SEEMS To PAY TO BE DISHONEST.
The report of Master in Chancery
Will H. Thompson on the defalca-
tons of Geo. E. Adams, while CASH
Ter of the U. S. Assay Office. in Seat
tie, shows that the losses began far
back as 1900, at which time an inves-
tigation was ordered. under Director
of the Mint George E. Roberts, who
came to Seattle, but failed to discov-
er the responsible party for a short
age of over 81 600. The assay Office
employees made up the deficiency by
voluntary subscriptions, which it is
now proposed to return to the dom
Ors, and Adams will come in for
$1,000, his share of the subscription,
as he did for the excess of $65. 900
over the amount that will be repaid
on claims established. The report
shows an aggregate shortage of $685.
600 of original claims. of which only
$50, $50 were proven. 1t is a motor
ious fact besides, that the amounts
stolen were invested in such lucrative
enterprises that Adams, after paying
the proven shortage, will have well
on to a quarter million of dollars as
his profits, when released from prison.

That is probably why the New

thors view. And one paper discov-
cred a qualification in a petite"

environments of q fast age which de-
velOp character more rapidly in the

the death of Letitia Greenhelgh, aged

AN OPINION OF THE BEEF BARONs.
Now that the legal head of one Of
the largest packing-houses has told
US what has Occasioned high prices
of all commodities in his line OF
supply, it seems proper that we
should dismiss the subject as settled
beyond question. He says that
workingmen in the United States
live far beyond their means; that
they demand quality of food that
is not to be had by the middle clsses
in Europe. In other words, the poor
man asks for necessities and demands
luxuries. He wants creamery but
ter and the best cuts of meat for
every meal, and pie for dinner and
pudding for supper; edibles that
which, while they tickle the taste do
not serve materially to develop Drawn
and muscle. Cudahy. another OF
these hamfat operators, declares that
" the American poor people are liv-
ing too fast. Cheap grades of meat
are not in demand, because house
wives have deteriorated as cooks;
that the cheap cuts are as nutritious
as the best, but the women do not
know how to make them palatable.
The people themselves cause the high
prices. 1t will be observed that
characteristics of the slaughter-pen
seem to be ingrained in the brutal
nature which cuts and slashes the
man who handles the hammer or the
hoe, or the woman who manipulates
the oven or broiler.

STILL AFTER THE OUTRAGED GIRL
FREDA SLoAN.-Sheriff Morris, of
Pierce county, has received a letter
from Mrs. Redding, of SnOqualmie,
the aunt and present legal custodian
of the wronged 13-year old girl Freda
Sloan, charging that an attempt had
been made by the mother of the girl,
aided by others including Mallory,
charged with her seduction, and that
she needs protection for her own as
well as the child's safety. 1t does
seem strange that with the prison
doors yawning for Mallory and his
conspirators that they still continue
their high-handed outrages. What is
wanted of the girl is beyond compre-
hension. This another illustration
of the adage about Fools rushing in
where angels fear to tread"

STEADY ADVANCE IN FOOD PRICES.
One reason given in Chicago dis
patch for high prices of fruit and
vegetables, prevailing everywhere
but on the Pacific Coast, is that the
high wage-rate has so effectively
drained the country of labor that
crops could not be properly handled.
The same cause applies to canned
goods, butter, cheese, and other
commodities that require labor to
produce them. Sweet corn lately
sold in Chicago at from IS to Is
cents per dozen. The tomato crop
will be go per cent. short, and the
canned article will probably advance
from 85c to 81 per dozen in wholesale
lots. California dried fruits will ad-
Vance-prunes 333 per cent. Beans.
which have sustained a steady ad-
vance the past two years, will now
jump 25 to 30 per cent. The pure
food law, whether justly or not,
comes in for share of blame, from
prohibition of cheap preservatives,
and are thus driven out of the market.
But this opinion is probably founded
upon the fact that
"No rogue e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion Of the law"

II must be remembered that. in
such times. the pay of labor is not
increased without conflict. in which
many are thrown out of employment.
and until it is possible for employers
TO adjust themselves to changed con-
ditions, the amount of labor is cut
down. when the inevitable strike
ensues, and still others join the ranks
of the unemployed.
1t is indeed unfortunate that this
spirit of unrest prevails, overwhelm-
ing that conservatism that is the
true safeguard of conditions. and
promoter of the well-being of the
social fabric.

MASCULINE DELUSlONS.
AS to Dowdy Women, Red-Haired
Girls and So Forth.

The bird whom the snake wishes to
destroy-and devour-he first mesmer-
ICES. Similarly the man whom a wo-
man intends to vanquish she first de-
ludes. Ever such a little feminine dust
thrown in the masculine eyes with tact
ditional blind"
Some willy woman in or before the
Stone Age invented a series of useful
delusions and palmed them off on un-
suspecting man as gems drawn flaw
less from the we'll of Truth. The un-
known woman who did this thing was
very ugly. Therefore she cunningly
devised and circulated a series Of spe-
cious proverbs to prove that beauty is
only skin deep and is invariably allied
to viciousness.
Take ninety-nine men picked at ran
dom out Of hundred. Each uncon-
sciously endows the plain woman with
all the virtues under the sun. A wo-
man has only to be dowdy and to dress
her hair backwoods fashion, and every
man she meets jumps straight to the
conclusion that she is an excellent cook
and housel,eeper Millions of plain
women have made admirable marriages
by reason of this masculine delusion.
To be a dowdy, Dorcas sort Of per-
son, guiltless of curling irons, waving
pins, and other wiles Of the devil-or
the witch woman--is equivalent to a
substantial dowry.
A woman who dresses so badly will
not waste her husbands substance on
clothes and chffons. argues deluded
man.
After marriage he is positively stag
gered by the huge dress bills run up
by some of these shabby looking wo-
men who have positively nothing to
show in a decorative direction for the
draper's huge account rendered.
That all ugly women revel in stew
pans and money saving and that they
necessarily love their husbands, home
and children is another gigantic delu-
sion on the part Of man.
Into those whom the gods wish to
destroy they first instill a belief in pro-
verbs Nearly every proverb invented
since the world began was written or
edited by an Ananias. The output Of
proverbs designed to warn men against
pretty women has occupied the brains
and energies of all the ugly ones
thrnuoh the centuries Mothers inStill
a mistrust of lovely women into the
minds of boy babies in the cradle.
Handsome is as handsome does" Is
dinned into each masculine ear by
willy and hideous little girls who are
still in the kindergarten stage. They
do this to prevent boys from noticing
that their hair is skinny and that their
skins are SallOw. The consequence is
that deluded man believes every ultra
pretty women to be vain and frivO-
louS and ready to elope with her neigh
bor's husband at the first time of ask
ing.
A subtle pity is universally felt for
bcauty's better half. well, I've got
a good wife, even if she isn't much to
look at, says his neighbor-the infer
ence being that beauty is not good, al
though 1t is nice to look at.
81 know it is better to be good than
