Vicious Assault.

The daily papers have been using
bighcad display of an unwarranted
attack made by Col. Weatherly, last
Sunday, upon Mr.. IIartwell. business
manager of the morning MRS, for a
humorous article published in that
paper the previous day, in which it
WAS minated that the Colonel had
ridden Il bronco. Just what otfense

Immediately mounted lighthouse
and rode rnugh-ShOd for the smallest
man on the Ntrs' employ, who had
absolutely nothing to do with writing
or publishing the alleged offensive
article, From the published report,
he called Mr.. II. over the telephone
at his room at Mr. Mackay's resi-
dence, telling him that friend, Mr..
Wilson, desired to see him. The
victim invited him to call on him at
his room, and hastily arose from his
bed and began clothing himself for
the visit of his supposed friend. On
entering, Colonel Weathcrly exhib-
tied Il copy of the paper and began
bcrating the manager for its pub
LEGATION, and without waiting for a
reply, knocked him down, and
slashed him with a riding whip he
had carried concealed into the apart
ment. Mr.. Hartwell was just dom
ming his coat, and was taken at a dis
advantage, not having the free use of
his arms to repel the aSsailant.
Soon as he could recover from the
onslaught, however, he made vigor-
GUS fight, whcreupon residents of the
house appeared and effected the val
orous Colonel.
1t appears to 4 disintercsted COM
menter upon this unfortunate affair,
that there was no just ground for the
assault. a careful pcrusal of the
article fails to disclose any intent TO
belittlc or ridicule the valorous Col
onel. If it did, the editor and not

party. The invitation to call was

comment, and await the view the
Court may take of the matter.

TAXING THE SPECULATIVE INDUS
TRY.-William +. Hepburn, of Iowa,
Chairman of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
declares it is very probable that Con-
grcss will, at the present session,
enact Il law to secure the regulation
of stocks and bonds of corporations
doing an interstate business. He
says there certainly ought to be such
Legislation and control. The Presi-
dent and Attorney General are salts
fled that Congress has the necessary
power, and we certainly know that
the question of power cannot be de-
cided until the legislation has been
had. He further says that he re-
CARDS it as most desirable that the
taxing power of the Government be
used to prevent gambling in railroad
stocks by taxing all sales where de-
livery is not made within such rea-
sOnable time as to indicate that the
transaction was bo"" .f,ie and not for
speculation. Where there is buying
and selling on margins and without
the intention of actual delivery of
the stock, speculation will absorb
the resources of the banks and take
money from legitimate enterprises
which need it.

" BE it recorded" as the old u. F..
of +. L. ritual said. that the Citizens
nominees have little cause for regret
that the Republican whip produced
such palpable results. 1t was a
truly patriotic spirit that impelled
any of them to become the tar
gets of that jostling crowd at the
pie-counter. They expected to do
some good if elected, and mostly
without pay or recompense of any
sort. If the people can stand it, they
can afford to smile over the perplexi-
ties that may come. To use another
simile, they may be compelled to sit
in the gallery, but it is, in some re-
spects the best place to enjoy the
play.

\ D!sRErrTAELE METHOD. Not
withstanding the government has
set its seal of di>approval upon all
schemes involving Il decision by
chance. such rs lotteries and other
methods of gambling, by making it
unlawful for newspapers to publish
advertisements of them or for the
mails to carry announcements of So
called Gift enterprises, the as
sociatcd press service brings to us
the information that no less per
sonayc than President Roosevelt had
adopted toss of Il coin to settle the
claims for appointment of Federal

the reverse the choice fell to his

however, that the Senate will not

To IMPROVE WASHINGTON BUTTER.
A butter-scoring contest will be
held at the annual convention of the
State Dairymen's Association, at
StandwOod, Wash, on December 18th
to Goth, in which all dairymen of the
State will have an opportunity to
participate. Prof. |. u. Whitney.
who is instructor IN dairying at the
State College, and, as Secretary of
the Dairymen's Association. is TAX
ing an active part in arranging for
this contest, believes that the dairy
ing interests of Washington have Il
vital need for such comparison of
produce. Stating his reasons, he
said: We must acknowledge that
Washington creamery butter is be-
low standard. Why is this? The
creamery man says it is because the
cream is poor; the farmer says the
creamery man doesn't know how to
make good butter. There is reason
for the poor quality of our butter, of
course, and the best way to find
this reason, is for the butter-makers
of the State to get together, and
compare their product. Our butter
lacks uniformity; therefore, get to-
gethcr, and discover the reason for
this. hope that every dairyman in
the State of Washington will either
bring, or send box of butter to this
contest"
