A Lesson In Honesty.

There Is a restaurant in Broad street
in which nearly a thousand persons
eat during the noon hour. Each per-
son eats what he pleases and when ne
goes to the cashiers desk announces
the amount Of his Indebtedness. the
proprietors figure that to trust to the
honesty Of their patrons is a saving OF
precious Wall street minutes and, be
sides, is good business Once in awhile
keen eyed employees capture cheat
One OF these, a youth, was caught
with the goods on" few days ago
and taken to the Office of the proprie-
tors. Given the choice Of being ar
rested or going into the kitchen and
washing dishes, the young man nearly
collapsed Of shame and fright he
begged not TO be arrested and re-
luctantly agreed to wash dishes. For
an hour or so the culprit struggled
with a pile Of dishes In tub of steam
ing water. Then he was told he might
depart. Now he brings his lunch from
home.-New York Press.

candidate receiving the largest vote
in the three districts above mention

STRENUOUS EFFORT MADE
IN FINAL DASH FOR VOTES
Leaders In their Respective Districts
Remain the Same as Yesterday.

Talk about close municipal cleo
lions. They pass into insignificance
in comparison with the Worlds Alas
kan competition Not only are the
contestants punched in one of the dis
tricts, but they are almost together
in every one of the three districts.
1t is indeed any ones race, for but
a few hundred votes are lacking be-
tween any of the three or four lead
ers in each district.
This condition is more than graft
flying, for a close and exciting race
lends interest to the competition.
The competition having the smallest
number of votes today may be the
leader tomorrow, if she will but
urge her friends to help her out.
Effort to win four trips to Alaska
offered by the World has not relaxed
one whit, and the energy and enthus
iasm which has marked the voting
contest from the very start has not
abated or slackened for a moment.
II you are not candidate yet, enter
your name at once, as the days are
rapidly slipping away, and each mo-
ment counts. Only short time re-
mains, but there is plenty of time to
jump in and win out. Do not let
others carry away these valuable
prizes without struggle, but make
up your mind that you will be the
winner, and go after the free trips
ia a manner that will coincide with
your determination.
There are many people who are
willing to subscribe if they are asked.
Get up your courage, girls, and go
after these backward subscribers.
Nothing counts in votes so fast as
yearly subscriptions, and there are
plenty of people willing to pay their
money down. While the contest is in
its infancy, do your work, and let
the end take care of itself. If you
dc well now you need not worry
about the future.
There will be a good many sur
prises in the next few days, as some
of the leaders, who are resting in
fancied security, will find that some
cor testant whom they thought hac
no chance, has passed them in the
race, and they will have to get cut
at the last moment and work for
votes to retain the leadership.
~ is much easier to keep steadily
at it and get a few subscribers each
dav. than it is to delay and then be
obliged to do all the work at the last;

know you are getting more daily,
you will feel more secure than II

THIS is TAFTs BUSY WEEK.
Big Secretary Has Many Engagements
To Fill I'm Search of Supnort.

Big Secretary Has Many Engagements
to Fill In Search OF Support.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Taft will have busy week OF cam
paignng beginning today in New
England. where he will contest with
Hughes for popular favor. He will
speak before the Taft club OF Con-
cord, n. H.. tomorrow and on We'd
nesday will go to New Haven to ad-
dress the Young Mems Republican
club and to attend a meeting of the
Yale corporation. The Taft club of
Connecticut, which now has over 1000
members, will be his official escort.
Frank Butterworth, a former Yale
football player. is president of the
club, and Taft is officially supported
by Yale men in his campaign for the
presidency.
1t was the original intention Of the
club to give a dinner in honor of Sec
retary Taft in the Yale dining hall.
but permission to do this has been de-
MED by Secretary Stokes of the Yale
corporation, who thinks that no Yale
building should be used for pol tical
purposes.
The strenuous week Of Secretary
Taft will end Saturday night at Buff
falo. where he will deliver an address
on the political issues of the campaign
at the annual dinner OF the Elliott
club.
While Secretary Taft is campaign
ing in the east, his principal opponent
for the republican nomination will not
be idle. Governor Hughes will invade
Cannon territory on Saturday. when
he will be the principal speaker at the
annual banquet of the Union League
club of Chicago. The invitation is OF
a years standing, and 1t is likely that
Governor Hughes will take advantage
of the occasion to give further express
sion to his political views.
Several district conventions for the
selection Of delegates to the republi-
can national convention will be held
during the week. The convention OF
the Fourth Ohio strict will be held
in Sidney tomorrow. that OF the 18TH
Ohio in Warran on Wednesday, the
seventh Missouri in Sedalia tomorrow
and the ninth Missouri in st. Charles
tomorrow. All of these delegations
will presumably favor Secretary Taft.
The democrats of Oklahoma and
Kansas will hold state conventions
the latter part of this week when dele
gates to the Denver convention will
be chosen. Bryan is a decided favor
ite in both of these states and no other
presidential possibility will be con-
sidered.

OFFICERS CATCH BURGLAR.
stole Clothing and Wore Suit without
Removing Price Tags and Marks

AS clever a trick as has been turn
ed in this city by the police for many
a day was accomplished last night in
the arrest of Mac Hacker for the
burglary of two of our business
houses within a short time after he
had accomplished his work, says the
La Grande Observer
Hacker, who bears all of the trade
marks of confirmed criminal fore
ed an entrance through the rear WIN
dow Of Newlin's drug store, where
he tapped the money till and broke
into gum vending machine, contain
ing between $S and SO in dimes and
nickels, also helping himself to few
knives and fancy pipe.
From the Newlin drug store he
than broke a rear window in ]. NJ.
Berry's clothing store and by the
way the goods were disturbed, he
took his time and fitted himself in the
latest When arrested early this
morning, before daylight, he was
found wearing a suit OF underwear,
nice black shirt, new hat, tie and
one Of the best suits that his limited
time would permit him to select.
He made his exit unnoticed and
had reached the depot about 3:45,
when Officer Pepper noticed him
wearing a new suit with the tags still
on. The officer looked him over
carefully and a little later met Off
Ger McLachlen and told him Of the
possibility that things might not be
just regular. and the two then went
back to the depot to make an inves-
tigatlon, but their man was gone.
The officers then. began to investi-
gate, and within a few moments as
certained that Berry's store had been
broken into and they commenced a
search for their man, and located him
within less than an hour.

TO ATTACK INITIATIVE LAW.
Telephone COmpany's Case to Be
Heard in Portland Feb. 2S.-


The assault of the foes of the ini-
tiative and referendum which is to be
made in argument of the case of the
state of oregon against the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany and the Sunset Telephone COM
pany, will take place before Judge
Cleland in the circuit court on the
morning of February 2S, says the
Oregon Daily Journal.
This date was fixed this morning
by agreement of Attorney-General
Crawford and local attorneys for the
defendant corporations. 1t was an
nounced that the heavy legal artiller-
lists of the telephone company will
be called from San Francisco to take
part in the effort to overthrow the
initiative and referendum system,
and the time for the hearing was
postponed from February 49, the
date first suggested, in order to bet
ter suit the convenience of the tele-
phone attorneys.
The issue in this case is the collec
ton of $4,000 in taxes due from the
telephone company in this county
under the franchise tax, and the pro-
ceedings will be followed with inter-
est by friends as we'll as the foes of
the Oregon system of legislation. The
tax is resisted on the ground that the
initiative and referendum plan is in
violation of the United States consti-
tuition and on numerous other
grounds.
