Sad Death of Mabel Tupper.

Last Friday evening Miss Mabel
Tupper was playing with a little
friend near the oil tanks and they
were sliding down the sand banks
toward the track. In some way
Mabel caught her toe and fell,
striking her head on the rail. She
went home and seemed all right
that night and Saturday, never
complaining at all. Sunday she
went to church and Monday went
to school, passing her examination
successfully, and seemed as well az
usual.
Tuesday morning about 2 o clock
she wakened her mother by saying
that her head ached. Her mother
attended to her and after some time
succeeded in quieting her for the
remainder of the night The next
morning Mabel did not get up and
assist her mother with breakfast as
usual. Her father, A. J. Tupper,
who works nights in the Linnton
mill, returns home about 1890 a..
M, and the daughter not being up
then, he went to see how she was
feeling. When he reached her
bedside he could not arouse her and
becoming alarmed went at once for
a physician, who did everything in
his power to revive her, but she
never regained consciousness. She
was delirious during the day but
became quieter Tuesday evening,
and her father thinking she was
getting better started to his work as
usual, but before the boat reached
the other side of the river his
daughter was taken worse and he
was sent for. Before he reached
home, however, she passed away.
Mabel was a bright, pleasant,
loveable girl, general favorite
among her schoolmates as well as
with her instructors, and her par
ents have the deepest sympathy of
all their neighbors and friends in
their loss and sorrow. She was
~ years, 4 months aud 8 days old,
aud her remains were taken To-
Independence, ore. the place of her
birth, for interment yesterday

was a contest To see who would

they had songs and speeches and
other exercises galore, Mrs. Hall
was asked To render 'Jim Wilkins

gave Il as only she can. Some OF

II Is not so surprising after al

hard for dcccncy and justice to get

officials misuse their power by di
rcclly or Indirectly lavoring the

that OF Tom Word, who in 1904
and 1905 closed the poolrooms and
other gambling dcns of Portland,
making the strongest fight Tor de
ceucy and for the safety of the
stranger in Portland that has ever
been made by am officer of that
city. This cost Tom word $500. 90

This has been held up ever since,
aud even now the county court
only allows him about o. cents on
the dollar This kind OF reward
tor ialthtulnc,s To duty ON the part
of our public officers Is not calSu-
lated To make them very active in
supprcsslng vice, nor give the Grim
inal very much respect lor the law
OF our public officers. How much
OF this favor OF the criminal classes
Is due to q fear OF their power in
politics OF otherwise we do not
know; but all deceut people and
those who have any desire Tor good
government should mark The moral
coward who will favor this class,
aud II he ever comes before them
for any office he should be turned
down good and hard. II an officer
Is afraid to do his duty, or set OF
officers Is composed of moral

from Office and men put in who
Will execute the laws regardless of |
the circumstances. Only by such |
enforcement OF the laws shall we
ever attain the highest standard of
excellence IN our government.
Let as mark these coWardly officers,
the same as We do those who act
dishonesty with MS in our business,
Keep a record OF them that We NAV
not forget and give them Just what
Is coming 10 them when they ask
us Tor the benefit OF our franchise.

Judge Parker believes that the en-.

commended by this plank would soon
be followed by more drastic legisla-

discussion in the committee in his

PARKER Don't
LIKE PLATFORM

Chicago, July 13.-'I do not assent
to the Democratic platform. I do not
care at this time to state by reasons
for Withholding assent"
This statement was made by Judge
Alton B. Parker, who, until 3:45 Fri
day morning, was the titular head OF
the Democratic party. The news that
the former candidate for president Is
not in sympathy with the platform, in
spite of the fact that he voted for
has created the nearest approach to
a sensation the convention has had,
Judge Parker refuses to discuss fol-
publication his objection to the plat
form. He makes no secret of the fact
however, but thinks that this is not
the proper time or place to make his
views public.
He did not submit minority re
port to the convention, because he re
allied to do so would accomplish no
good result. He would have been
Overwhelmingly voted down, and
would be charged with a desire to
Introduce discord into the conven
ton.
For the sake of harmony Judge Par
ker kept quiet and allowed a unani
nous report of the platform to be
made to the full committee.
There is much speculation as tc
whether Judge Parker will support
the ticket. He was asked this blunt
question yesterday and replied:
"You will have to wait for develop
nents." il. ~
Judge Parker also intimated thai
he would do some talking on the
stump, but failed to state definitely
what his attitude would be. While
Judge Parker will not discuss tn,
matter now, it is known that hi:
chief objection to the platform is di
rected to the trust plank. He doe
not like the idea of pledging the Den
ocratic party to the. enactment of
law giving to the government contrc
