Mrs. C. A. Moore, who registered
at the Washington hotel and gave her
business as a solicitor for advertising
for hotel registers, has brought suit
against Griffin & Johnson, the pro-
prietors, for alleged damages for talk
ing her belongings out of her room
and placing them in another. Grif-
fin & Johnson allege that Mrs. Moore
settled for her room and at noon, ac-
cording to general custom, but had not
packed her clothing and removed her
effects. They then assigned the room
to another person and placed Mrs.
Moore's lingerie elsewhere. Mrs.
Moore returned and was furious, de-

SAMUEL GOMPERS.
President of American Federation
Will Fight for Election of Bryan.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Prelm-
mary steps are being taken here for
the Inauguration of the campaign
that organized labor will wage
against the Republican party in the
coming election. The opening shot
promises to be "sizzler." 1t is due
next week.
! Samuel GOmpers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, tele-
graphed from Erie, Pa, to the pub
| fishers Of the The American Feder-
Dor federation, to withhold the publi-
cation of the August issue of that
magazine until he prepares some i'm
pOrtant editorials. He hustled Frank
Morrison, secretary of the federation,
to Washington to see that his desires
were carried out.
Gompers who is attending the an
nual convention of the Longshore-
mems Union. will be in Washington
Monday.
The leading editorial will partake
of the nature of a proclamation to
the 100000 voters of organized la
Dor to vote for William j. Bryan and
for ''the principles for which labor
has been fighting unsuccessfully un-
der republican administration.
In it Gompers intends to show
the Democratic party that he was sin
cere when he told Bryan that he
would do all in his power as presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor to elect him.
Central labor bodies throughout
the United States will be called upon
to hold mass meetings of members to
approve of the course of the Off
cials of the federation.
In this connection, Gompers will
recite the fact that he was advised by
the representatives of the federation
last March to appeal to the Demo-
cratic party in case the Republican
party should refuse to grant their de-
mands.

AN OLD LAW INVOKED.
Ordinance Prohibiting Bicycles on
Sidewalks is Suddenly Enforced
Eleven Arrests.

Eleven citizens of Aberdeen were
gathered in by the strong arm of the
law Thursday afternoon for the viO-
lation of an ordinance that has been
dead letter almost ever since it's en-
actment, nearly three years ago The
following is the section of the Or
dinance referred to, and for the vio-
lation of which the arrests were
made:
"All persons are hereby prohibited
and it shall be unlawful for any per-
son to ride any bicycle, tricycle. or
other like vehicle upon any of the
sidewalks in the city of Aberdeen
except upon such streets as are not
improved or where the roadway con-
sists entirely of sawdust."
The prisoners We're Justly indig-
nant at the action of the police au-
thorities, claiming that inasmuch as
the law had been ignored so long
some notice of it's intended enforce
ment should have been given before
making arrests. The following We're
the victims of this official dragnet: :

f. Mcneil. J. e. Fowler, J. S. Gum,
William Sullivan, I. ]. Leonard Frank

! Frank Barton.
Judge Loomis took a similar view
of this action when the cases came
before his court and he dismissed
them, saying he did not like to in
| flict fines for the violation of law
that had so long been permitted to
lie dormant. and then suddenly re-
surrected and men rushed to Jail for
doing no wrong they were aware of.

JUDICIAL ETHICS
CANDIDATE SHEEKS WILL MAKE
NO PERSONAL CANVAS.
The Eminent Attorney Take S an Hon
Orable Position in His Candidacy
But, Votes are Necessary to Elect,
and His Supporters Must Get
Busy.

Ben Sheeks of this city, who was
named by the bar of Chehalis county
to succeed Judge Irwin ON the su-
perior court bench, will not make a
canvass of votes. This was under
stood at the time he was selected by
the bar and in an interview recent
ly he insisted that he will adhere to
his original intention no matter what
pressure may be brought to induce
him to go through the county and
meet the people. Mr.. Sheeks said:
"As | remember there was an old
English statute making it unlawful
for a man to solicit for himself an
office like this, concerning which
that great lawyer, Sir Edward
be witten in letters of gold; but
more worthy to be put into eXecu-
ton.
$50 the ethics and better tradi-
tions of the profession have been
against personal solicitation. 1t
has even been considered that such
solicitation by candidate for judge
was evidence of unfitness for the
position. 1t is too much like ask
! ing for a personal favor, but a vote
for judge should not be given as a
favor.
Suppose | should go to dozen
men and by asking get their votes
! and thus secure the office, how
many of them do you think would
! feel, if brought before me as judge
that they mad personally favored me
and that as Judge | should now
/ favor them? But judge, as such,
should have no favors to grant.
Such favor to one is at the cost of
some other, and perhaps at the sac
rifice of justice as well.
Il have no inclination to depart
| from what seems to me the better
course; or to degrade the office by
treating it as thing to be begged
for, or given by the people as a pr
sonal favor.
Il am a candidate because I un-
derstand it to be the wish of a
large majority of the bar, and OF
many other citizens of the county
If the people see fit to elect me
shall appreciate the honor; but, if
elected, it must be without personal
solicitation on my part, and without
any one having the remotest reason
for thinking me under obligation tC
use the office in any way as a per.
sonal favor to Lim."
One cannot but be impressed with
the propriety of the course adopted
by Mr.. Sheeks, and could the election
of superior judge be had without &
struggle for votes the result would be
ideal. Those who know Mr.. Sheek:
best are fully aware that he will

tjOp

The simple but not unsuccessful
country lawyer of Lincoln has since
1896 became one of the most widely
Travelled men living. But his new
strength of today-not his intellec-
tual, but his political-strength, is
derived rather from his travels with
in his own country than from those
expeditions which have taken him to
the ends of the earth Ever since his
first campaign Mr.. Bryan, with the
commendable purpose of providing
for his family and advancing the
cause which he typifies and repre-
sents, has followed the business of a
lecturer. In this honorable calling,
in which, by the way, he was preced-
ed by such men as William Lloyd
Garrison, Henry Ward Beecher,
James Russell Lowell and Ralph
Waldo Emerson, and is Joined today
by such public men as Senator Bever-
idge, Senator La Toilette, Senator
Tillman, Representative Champ Clark,
and former Senator Dubois he has
not merely achieved a competence,
but has been able to visit every nook
and corner of these United States of
ours. The Bryan of 1896 knew

ably no man in the United States, not
even the president himself, has sc

many followers who are not merely
loyal, but sometimes to degree fan
atical as he. And this following has
been built up without the aid of any
patronage, state or national; with
no Offices to give, no favors to dis
pense. And that it is a continuing
following has been shown by the
way in which during the last year
or more properly, during the last foul
months the prominent politicians OF

constituents to concede to him dele

B. AND o. FINANCES.
Will Close the Year With a Large
Surplus.

BALTIMORE, July Sit is stated on
good authority that the Baltimore and
Ohio will close the year with a surplus of
over S14,UOOOO. This is important WIS,
in view of the fact that the bears have
attempted to make capital out of the
decreased earnings of the Baltimore and
Ohio. While it is true that the road
will show a decrease in earnings of over
$I.VO,OOO, nevertheless 1t will compare
very favorably with other roads. The
year 1907 showed decreases in earnings
on the part of all the trunk line roads
as we'll on the part of minor systems.
Those which had nothing TO fall back
upon were driven to the wall. Others
however. were fortified with a strong
surplus, SO that the period Of depression
had no other effect than minimizing the
earnings.
II is generally conceded that from now
a revival of activity may be expected.
With surplus of over $14,OOO.OOO to fall
back upon, the outlook for the Baltimore
and Ohio is good. Directors will meet
next Thursday to take action upon the
dividend. While no statement Is forth
coming as to their intentions, II is under
stood that a reduction will be made. The
common stock is now paying per cent,
and the general expectation is that it
will be reduced to per cent. Some look
for cut as low as per cent. In order
to pay per cent dividend II would be
necessary to dip into the surplus, and
this, financiers say, should not be done.
