ADVOCATES THE JAIL CURE
Attorney General Bonaparte Believes the
Large as Well as the Small Of
Tenders Should Be Jailed.

l have noticed a good many com
plants that criminal prosecutions
against trust magnates and sentences
Of Imprisonment for them have been
very infrequent and, in fact, for pract-
ical purposes unknown, it is perfectly
true that, in my opinion at least, a
better moral effect would be produced
by sending a few prominent men to
Jail than by great deal Of litigation,
however successful, against the cor
porations they controlled.
But is must be remembered that it
is only successful prosecutions which
would have a good effect. Some time
since two corporations and their re-
spective presidents were indicted
Jointly for violation Of the criminal
provisions OF the antitrust law. If the
corporations were guilty of such, it
would be hard for the lay mind at least
to understand how their presidents
could be innocent. Nevertheless the
jury conviced the corporations and
acquitted the presidents.
1t is the avowed purpose of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute crimi-
nally any one who is really responsible
for violations of the antitrust law
wherever it can do so with any reason
able probability of success. 1t does
not care to prosecute mere underlings
who are known to every one to have
acted under the direct authority of
their superiors.
On this live question Daniel P. Bald
win, former judge of the circuit court,
says:
If a poor man commits crime the
law must have its course" he is con-
victed, and we congratulate ourselves
that the ends Of justice are being
served. And if he is guilty of course
he ought to be made to suffer. But
how about your rich man2
The rich man rallies his family and
his friends. He brings his political in
fiuences TO bear. He secures an
expensive lawyer, who knows how to
stop the heads of the law, and that's
about all there is to it. The rich man
is almost never convicted. He hears
lot Of glittering generalities about the
law treating all men alike. 1t does
treat all poor men alike, and it does
treat all rich men alike, but it treats
the rich far differently from the man
without money.
We are now facing the big question
Of bringing big corporations to time.
What does a fine amount to? Do you
think il means that the corporations
will stop its wrongdoing? Who pays
the fine for lawbreaking but you and II
The one thing to do is to put the
guilty officers in Jail. That might
perhaps induce them to have some
regard for the law and order.

AN APOSTROPHE TO GRASS
Who Has Made Two Blades Grow Where
Only One Grew Before, Has Not
Lived in Vain

The following is not the least elo-
quent OF the many eloquent things that
John ]. ingalls,, the Sunhower states
man, said:
Grass is the forgiveness to nature
her constant benediction. Fields tram
pied with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts Of cannon, grow
green again with grass, and carnage is
forgotten. Streets abandoned by traf-
fc become grass grown like rural lanes,
and are obliterated. Forests decay,
harvests perish, flowers vanish, but
grass is immortal. Beleagured by the
seven hosts OF winter, it withdraws into
the impregnable fortress of its subter-
ranean vitality and emerges upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle horticulture
of the elements which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the nude out
lines OF the world. Its tenacious fibres
hold the earth in its place and prevent
its soluble components from washing
into the wasting sea. 1t invades the
solitude OF deserts, climbs the mac
cessible slopes and forbidden pinnacles
OF mountains, modifes climate and de
termines the history, character and
destiny OF nations. Unobtrusive and
patient, it has immortal vigor and
aggression. Banished from the thor
oughfare and the field, it bides its
time to return, and when vigilance is
relaxed, or the dynasty has perished,
il silently resumes the throne from
which it has been expelled but which
it never abdicates. It bears no bla-
zenry Of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but its
homely hue is more enchanting than
the lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet, should its
harvest fail for a single year, famine
would depopulate the world.

Smallpox in Wenatohee.

The following news item appeared
in the World Monday:
A case OF smallpox has developed in
Wenatchee. Ben Parish, brother Of
Mrs. I. ]. Bailey and Mrs. E. L.
Thompson, was stricken with the dread
disease some days ago. Saturday
afternoon DR.. Mccoy, who is treating
Mr.. Parish, detected symptoms Of small
pox, and called DR.. Kaup in consulta-
ton. They decided that there could
no longer be any doubt as to the
nature OF the disease, and at once re-
moved the sick man from the home Of
his sister, Mrs. Bailey, on Pennsylvania
avenue, to a woodshed in the rear Of
the dwelling, which had been fitted mp
and made as comfortable as possible.
A rigid quarantine has been estab-
lished and every effort is being made
to prevent the spread of the contagion.
Dr.. Mccoy mailed report Of the
case, as required by law in the advent
of contagious diseases, to DR.. Frank
Culp, the city health official, Saturday
evening.
Mr.. Parish has been up in the
Okanogan country for some time, and
went from there to Soap Lake to re-
cover from rheumatism. Returning
from Soap Lake to Wenatchee he was
taken i'll last week, his complaint de-
veloping and being diagnosed as small
pox.

The Washington apple crop for this
year, according TO competent estimates,
will sell for between 100000 and
$40, 100000. About half the crop
will be exported. The crop for ship
ment this year will probably reach
100000 boxes, each containing so
pounds OF fruit. State Commissioner
Huntley reports that the state had
within its borders at the beginning Of
this year, besides its wealth in apple
trees, o4o, ,29o plum and prune trees,
764,926 peach trees, 500,634 pear
trees, 243, ,459 cherry trees and 80, ,68S

Farmers in the vicinity OF Waterville
are very much dissatisfied because of
the large margin that the grain COM
panies are buying on this year, and
are seriously considering organizing a
grain pool Of some 100000 bushels or
more and holding their wheat until the
margins between that point and the
coast are more reasonable. During the
last week wheat quotations on the
coast have ranged from 9216c to 94c,
while the high price so far paid at
Waterville is 67c, making a difference
of from 1279c to 27c. This differ
ence, the farmers claim, is entirely too
much. The rate from the tram sta
ton at Waterville to Seattle is 17c per
bushel, thus showing a margin for the
grain buyer Of from &c to l0c. The
farmers claim that a Sc margin is
ample enough, and that if the grain
companies insist on the present rate
they will not get the grain.

SUING FOR VALUE OF LOGS
Lamb & Davis Lumber Co. Brings Suit
Against Parties Who Have Ap-
propriated Logs.

When the Lamb-Davis log boom
broke near Leavenworth some months
ago dwellers along the Wenatchee river
reaped a rich harvest of valuable
timber. They saw the runaway logs
and put out in skiffs and caught them.
Wenatchee people themselves were
not slow to take advantage OF the situa-
ton, and hundreds OF valuable logs,
good for lumber and fuel, were rescued
from the raging Columbia, dragged
ashore and converted into coin OF the
realm.
Rumor at the time stated that at
least 1000 worth of logs of all
kinds escaped from the Leavenworth
corporation and hoated down stream.
The Lamb-Davis Co., through its
attorneys, Reeves & Reeves, has been
quietly gathering evidence in the mat
ter, and this week has filed suit against
Jay Jones, farmer living two or three
above Wenatchee, and R. A. Brown OF
Monitor, for the recovery OF the value
of logs alleged to have been the prop
erty Of the logging corporation, and to
have been unlawfully converted by
these two men. The damages claimed
in each case is $210.
Attorneys Corbin & Kemp have been
retained by Mr.. Brown and by the
other defendant, Jones. They will
probably endeavor TO show that the
logs were unmarked, and undistinguish-
able from the common lot of lost
logs, driftwood and other runaway tim
Der which comes down from the timber
belt in the mountains with every
annual freshet.
1t is probable that further suits
against other people who are said TO
have secured from the river logs
alleged to belong to the Lamb Davis
Co. will be started soon.

COUNTY NEWS ITEMS

The Dryden correspondent Of the
Cashmere Record last week, said:
One evening last week we received a
friendly call from young gentleman
who was on his way to see his best
girl at Leavenworth. There might not
have been anything unusually strange
about that part of it if he had not
selected the seclusion of our bachelor
home to exchange his clothing and
solicit our best judgment as to his

that we are not up to date on the tie

Social Sway of Woman.

Male ascendency is as real and at
least as strong in America as in any
European country short of Turkey. The
social sway of woman is due TO a
different valuation of society by the
American man from that of European
countries. What Henry James and
other critics affirm, that the American
man is business man, politician
and clubman, but leaves society
largely to his wife and daughter, is
quite true, but what apparently they
fail to recognize is the characteristic
mental attitude of the male American
toward this social life" says writer
in London.
His extravagant wife and daugh-
tiers, with their receptions. diamonds,
trips to Europe and sprightly talks on
books and art, are to him primarily
big entertainment, an expensive, elab-
crate show, which he can afford to
keep up and likes to pay for. The
average successful male American
would no more think of competing
with his wife in the display of social
arts and graces than the Londoner who
sits Maskelyne & Devants would
think of vying with the mystery men
there, but his real control of the So
cial order is not less deeply rooted on
that account
80 far as fiction holds the mirror
up to American nature 1t exhibits quite
a significant paucity of sex emotion in
its more spontaneous, mastering flow.
Possibly the conquering American wom-
an owes much of her triumph in circles
to this touch of inner chill. That she
owes anything to intellectual superior
ity over the male of her kind cannot
be conceded, for no such superiority
exists.
"She reads more and talks more, be-
cause that belongs to her decorative
function. The thought of America
owes little to her. though she has long
enjoyed more ample opportunities for
education than the other sex. Her con-
tribution toward serious literature, art
and science is small, almost negligible.
Almost all the best brain work in
america, even in fields where women
are most occupied, Is done by men.
