ELECTRIC ROADS ARE
THE BEST BOOSTERS

The best thing TO build city Is
a suburban electric road. Such
roads bring in people who had never
before been ten miles beyond their
own homes and whose feet had never
| trod a cement sidewalk. II has been
the experience OF all the east that
those cities which have built electric
roads out into their suburbs and
from there on 10 the little towns be-
yond have established themselves for
ever as business centers and acquired
standing and trade which for per-
manence and stability cannot be sur
passed. During the last two years
Boise has built and placed In opera

electric roads. The Boise Valley

CATCH, BUT RELEASE
EUGENE SH0PLlFTER
{ Eugene Guard.


Mrs. Mary Sharp, whose home is
at Cottage Grove. was arrested late
yesterday afternoon by Chief of Po-
lice Harrington while she was at OF
to's confectionery store, being sus-
pected of shoplifting. When she
was searched, number of articles
which had been reported stolen by
different merchants we're found on
her person. She stoutly denied her
guilt until the articles were identl-
fed and then she admitted that she
took them. She had the following
articles which she had taken; A silk
scarf from F. Il. Dunns store; a
remnant of silk from s. IL. Friendly's
store; a purse from Hills gun store;
a belt and a remnant of ribbon.
Only a part of these things were
found by the police. but a lady dep
uty searched the woman's under
garments and found the remainder,
The total value of the things found
is probably more than $40. She
also had S32.50 in money In one of
her stockings.
Mrs. Sharp was taken before jus
tice OF the Peace Bryson. He SEN
fenced her to 60 days in the county
Jail, but suspended sentence with
the understanding that, IL she is
caught again the sentence will be
much heavier and she will have to
serve Il out. She is n widow and
has four children. and this had a
good deal to do with the judges
lenienoy.
Attorney j. NJ. Williams says this
is the same woman who was caught
at shoplifting In store at Albany
several months ago AT that time
she resided at Halsey.
There have been other small
cases of shoplifting in several stores
lately. Only last night lS-year-
old girl was caught taking an article
off the counter at Hill's gun store.
After taking her name and address
MIR. Hin lot her go, but warned her
that she would be arrested II she
was caught again.

here. Little Is said nowadays about the
japanese in San Francisco. but there has
been no change IN feeling among the
Americans Of the city. As in every other
Pacific Coast city, they declare that the
Japanese must be kept out OF the coun-
try, that they are more dangerous and
much more undesirable than the Chinese,
and that IL the Japanese government will
not restrict the immigration as promised
then this government must enact an ex-
clusion law for the protection of Ameri-
can civilization and the institutions cf
the Western states.
In many sections OF the West the op-
position to Japanese immigration Is based
wholly upon economic and Industrial ar
guments. The white laborer cannot com
pete with the japanese laborer. because
he cannot live as cheaply. But here in
San Francisco It Is confessed that race
antagonism has much to do with the anti
japanese feeling. The San Francisco
trouble did not spring from an eco
nomic clash over wages; Il grew out OF
race question developed I'm the schools.
When the San Francisco position on the
school question was made known in the
last Congress the race question was q
predominant feature, and the Southern

miliar with race questions. rushed 10 the
support OF the Caifornians
San Franciscans repeat and ratify what
was said at that time by the then gov
ernor In a message to the legislature:
lin common with the people Of the East,
who have had no experience with these
unassimilable people OF Japan and China,
the President does not understand the
racial differences between the japanese
and Chinese and the people of Cauca-
sian blood" u is exactly the same ar
gument used by southerners IN defend
ing themselves against attacks from
other States on their attitude toward the
negro: "You do not understand the
difference between a white man and a
negro"
Il is very fortunate that the economic
feature Of the agitation against the Jap
anese has been emphasized. In Japan Il
is admitted that Americans may object
70 an influx Of laborers who will destroy
standards of wages, but every Japanese
holds that he is the equal OF any man on
earth. and a racial discrimination against
his people Is an objectionable offense As
matter OF fact, the race antagonism
does not enter into the question, and San
Francisco openly admits II.
In tho meantime the 1900 Japanese
who are living here are finding employ
ment and making money. The majority
OF them are held 10 be unsatisfactory
as servants or laborers. but still they
have the Jobs. The leaders OF japanese
hero are trying 10 do all in their power
70 smooth over old quarrels. The lead
ers or the anti-JRpanese agitation are
content to let by-gones be by-gones. but
they are no less determined in their op-
position to permitting any more Japan
ese to- come IN.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

II seems that warnings are too often
thrown away when we view the number
Of accidents that might have been
avoided. Careful persons wonder how
man can allow himself to be blind to the
danger Of leaving a loaded revolver
where persistent little fingers can reach
it; how woman can permit dangerous
liquids 70 remain in her home when
there are children TO sample everything,
in bottles and out Of them. Yet the
news OF the day tells stories where acci-
dents Of such nature occur with sur
prising frequency.
Wen. remorse is OF little avail after
death has exacted the penalty OF reck-
lessness. Probably a reform viii be
made in the stricken households. but
there viii remain thousands OF families
where temptation lies along the path Of
the children. and II they manage 10 es-
cape they and their parents will owe
big debt to fortune L. an occasional
family children are taught 20 respect the
wishes OF parents, but as a rule they
learn an early lesson OF following their
own sweet WILL and the only safe course
for parents is 20 keep danger at a dis
tance.
A sixteen-year-old son. spoiled TO the
last degree. was reproved for keeping
late hours, and so angry was he az the
interference with what he regarded az
HIS rights that he rushed into his fathers
dressing-rOom in search OF q loaded re.
volver, which he knew was kept In :,
drawer of the bureau. Probably he meant
TO terrify his father apd nothing more.
but he succeeded in placing q bullet in
his head before the horrifed parent could
prevent At.
A friend OF mine received a gift IN the
shape of q case Of homeopathic medi-
cines. which was placed on the shelf in
a closet. A small daughter knew all
about II. and when she found nothing to
amuse herself on stormy afternoon she
remembered the neat little bottles with
their burden Of sugar pills. Her baby
brother watched her devour a bottle or so
in silence, and offered a protest when
the third was opened. So she shared
with him two of the most dangerous bot
ties in the case. and they were devour-
ing the last handful when their mother
entered the room. One glance at the
labels on the empty bottles sent her fly
ing to the neighbors. and the children
were watched for hours for symptoms of
illness.
As It happens, they slept quite as
peacefully as II they had been restricted
to their usual simple diet The morning
found the medicine case on its road 10 a
relative who had no children, and the
mother began a system of government
thRt made similar ofTenses impossible.
TIE habit of keeping dangerous weapons
end poisonous liquids about the house is
general, / assure you, and the stories
OF fright and anxiety and sorrow on ac-
count of II are innumerable. A good dog
or a strong whip or hatpin is quite as
much protection, and contains no possi-
bIity OF danger for curious children,
which are all children. Poisons are
plainly labeled when purchased. and only
the iliterate can overlook.

RAILROAD r1otes

The local interlocking plant Of the

apection by j. w Young, chief signal
engineer of the road with head
quarters in New York City, today.
Mr.. You1g pronounced the local
plant to be in ninety per cent. bet
ter condition than it was at the last
which occurred some time
ago. Mr.. Young thought the plant
to be one of the finest on the road
as far as real service is concerned
The plant is now under the super
vision of l.. w. Thomas.
MFR. Young spoke of the neeu OF
deficiency in a plant which is of so
great Importance to the road as the
interlocl0ing. II is here that the
lives of officials and passengers and
employees are taken into the hands
of the man In charge. Near the
depots, where the people are is the
place for efficient service and It is
very pleasing to the general public
that the service in the interchange
of trains at the local depot is up to
the highest standards of the road.
