NolHCe IHe ABOVE was Written Rev. Mad
doX has been tried, convicted and founo
guilty Ed
Some writer, once said that "wimmin
are curious critters" and it might be amend
ed by making it read SO that some men
could be included in the term. Taxing legal
definitions as guide wherein it is held
that the singular implies the plural, the
masculine the feminine, ETC., we would be
sale in assuming that the author OF the
above statement about women had intended
to include man, but ON account of the
tangled meshes of the law a certain de-
gree OF caution is necessary.
This brief introduction was suggested by
reading an account of a damage suit
brought by }. l.. Nichols, OF Sapulpa, Ok
lahoma, against Alfred Stanford, OF the
same place, on the ground that The latter
did not keep an engagement he made with
the wife OF Nichols, to elope with her at a
given time, whereby the prospective elopee
has suffered great mental pain and anguish.
This Is altogether new departure in law
and many OF the disciples of Blackstone
could afford 10 watch the outcome.
But what does this case suggest? In his
petition, the husband alleges that he was
fully aware of his wifes intentions to elope
with Stanford, that he took no steps to pre-
vent 1t, and the inference is that he is as
deeply chagrined at the failure of the en-
terprise as the woman herself, in that he
had been expecting to get rid of her and
had not succeeded. On the other hand we
are led to infer that neither man really
wanted her. 1t is evident the husband did
not or he would have taken steps to have
interfered with the intended elopement. 1t
is also evident that her partner in the
agreement did not want her or he would
have kept his promise to have skipped.
Now the question for the court to decide
is whether or not the woman has been in.
jured, and If it shall so find, to assess a
proper amount of damages to compensate
her for her loss of chance to get herself
talked about and for her suffering by
reason thereof.
We do not know what lawyer brought
the suit. We do not know, however, that
the courts have vigorously held to the rule
that one who seeks equity must do equity
and come before the court with clean hands.
The woman in the case was partner with
the defendant in an unlawful undertaking
and it is extremely doubtful if she can
prosecute her cause with success. Had it
been the husband Who had sued for dam
ages because the male person to the illegal
contract had failed to take an undesirable
wife of his hands, there might be some ex-
cuse for bringing such a suit. Nothing
ventured, nothing won, is an old adage, and
it is equally applicable to the case in point
any other.
From time to time the reading public has
been RECALLED with stories told of wonderful
finds being made in ruins of ancient cities,
and not infrequently are some of these
held, by theological professors, to be con-
firmatory of the bible, including both the
old and new testament. These are lauded.
as evidences of biblical truths, as If bible

all along the line. Every box shown
Is worthy a millionaire's favor, and
as an indication of what might be
accomplished on thousands of acres
/ In this county, either box of apples
on display should prove an inspira-
tion.
In this display some fair pack-
ing has been done. though Mr.
Groves did not take the time TO do
more than pack in such a way as to
chow the apples TO fair advantage
With a little greater care even great
or uniformity might have been Sc
cured and other styles Of packing
might have been shown. Howev r.,
the display in this respect is fully
M 10 the standard OF anything other
than expert packing. and as the ap-
pies are shown only as rroof OF
what Benton land will produce the
packing IS secondary.
Speaking OF the land on which
these apples grew, Mr.. Groves saws
10 is not better than other land over
the county The orchard Is on
slight slope west OF the city and face5
the.nort hand west. It Is directly IN
the path of the sea breeze that
sweeps through the pass and at
times the wind blows very hard IN |
that vicinity. Mr.. Groves attributes |
his success thus far (and he modest |
ly calls II a "little" success) is due |
to the feet that he has pruned and |
properly; what he has done |
he has done we'll, though the fact /
that his orchard is incidental cause |
him TO neglect some phases of nee
essary labor. What he has been able
70 accomplish makes him very well
satisfied with the fact that he has

trees coming on. He has

Ind is confident that that orchard
will pay him handsome returns. /
wen though apples bring no more

Mr.. Groves is to be heartily com
nended for his enterprise In making
his display. The apples are giving
many a pleasant thrill and as n
emonstration OF the possibilities OF

BIG DISPLAY
OF APPLES

on display in The Toggery, win

of apples that ought to convince any
doubling Thomas" that Benton
county will grow as fine apples es
can be grown in Hood River, NJ d.
ford, Wenatchee, North Yakima or
any other favored spot on this ter
restial sphere. These apples are as
beautiful to look upon as the Hood
River fruit they are as sound as
any 'ruit ever raised In Yakima, as
glori isly colored as Wenatchee's
product as wonderously favored az
Medford s apples, and as a whole,
are fully the equal of the average

tion, Is a surprise 20 strangers, and
has been the recipient of great ad-
miration since Sunday, when seen
for the first time.
This display is made by Frank
Groves, manager Of the opera house,
assistant postmaster and enthusiaS-
tic horticultnrist. The apples were
grown on his farm one mile west
Of Corvallis, and come from an old
orchard that was counted practically
worthless two years ago. M.
Groves pruned the orchard, cut out
worthless trees until but 1875 trees
were left, then sprayed two years
and obtained the result now shown
IN The Toggery window. The display
there shows ten varieties OF apples

Spitzenburgs, noted for their su-
perior color, uniformity and quality
Yellow Newtowns, three kinds,
noted more for their keeping quail

are OF fine size.

fifty of the carefully selected
delegates" present; the great
ness of the machine was duly
Impressed on the faithful few re-
naming by short spreadeagle
speech by Frank McNulty. He
made it plain that the machine
expected them to carry out the
wishes of the machine and make
all the undesirable candidates get
off the track.
BY this time it had become APP
parent to the candidates that the
Eastman-McNulty machine had
made up slate and that the only
purpose of this committee"
meeting was to endorse the slate
named by the bosses, and thus
by this subterfuge relieve the
the bosses, Frank McNulty and
David Eastman of the RESPONSE
bllity of naming this slate before
the pe ople. Several of the cand-
ldates, among whom were Frank
Hicks, John H. Lewis, |. Stad-
stad, Nelson Wilcox and j. O.
Andrews, refused to submit
their candidacy to this commit
tee," believing that neither the
machine nor the machines COM
mittee' had any authority to
name a ticket or put up a slate
under the primary law, and
these candidates insisted on 60
ing before the people. Some of
these men who refused to stand
fer the machines hig...- handed
methods were importuned by
some of the machine men to come
before the committee" these
same machine men assuring
them that the committee"
would endorse them if they
would bow TO the will Of the king,
but these men refused to be
parties to the machine scheme
of stealing from the people the
right to name the ticket under
the primary law on June 9th.
The doors were then locked and
barred, and the circus proceeded,
and the machine slate was duly
nominated" by the machine
committee"
The above is concise and cor
rect statement of the facts under
which the machine nominated"
its ticket. A more high-handed
outrage against the liberties of a
free people was never perpetrat-
ed. For years the "reformers,"
McNulty and Eastman, have pre-
tended to favor the adoption of a
primary law, and that is now the
law OF this state. It's declared
purpose is to remove the nomi-
nation of candidates from the
hands of the bosses and give It
to the people, and under the
spirit and letter of the primary
law the people themselves would
nominate the candidats, and the
the machine bosses would have
nothing to say about it. The
direct primary will cost Roberts
county about 100000 this year.
and it would undoubtedly be
worth that to the people if they
were given a chance to express
their untrammeled choice as to
who should be the candidates, for
the people would elect officers whu
would save many times $ee000.6G 60
to the tax-payers-bear in mind
that the tax collections in Roberts
county under the present four
