THE DRINKING HABIT.

We are Exceeding the Liquid Re-
quirements of the Organism.
1t would be idle to deny that the
drinking habit has reached almost the
proportions Of pastime among us.
We no longer drink only when we are
thirsty. We drink when surrounded
by our fellows to promote good fel-
lowship just as we drink when alone
to escape from boredom; we drink
when we are merry and we drink
when we are depressed. In short, we
drink much and often.
Each has his favorite tipple. Tea,
that mild distillation Of the Orient, is
the beverage of gossip and literature,
suggesting placid rumination and a
quiet setting. Soda, ginger beer and

The secret Of this indulgence in
liquid refreshment of various sorts is
to be found largely in the fact that
each season sees a multiplication of
the beverages that are agreeable to
the taste. We drink not because we
are thirsty, but because the flavor is
pleasing to the palate, and In doing
this some physicians contend we are
exceeding the liquid requirements of
the organism. In considering this
matter editorially the Lancet re-

STATE MADE SPECIAL
LAW TO HANG HIM
Veritable Fiend Killed One and Al
most Second While Serving Life
Term in Prison.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept IA
Awaiting death in condemned cell in
the state penitentiary at Folsom is d
man believed to be the only criminal
in America for whom a special section
was added to the criminal code of his
state, that he might be hanged.
Officially he is designated as mo.
11,244;" among prison attaches he has
gained the sobriquet of. "The Demon of
Murderers' Row." outside the prison
walls he is known as Jacob Open
heimer.
The section added TO the penal code
of California for the sole purpose of
fitting his case makes it capital Of
Tense to assault a fellow prisoner or a
guard while an inmate of a penal in
stitution. The Legislature was driven
to It's passage by the fact that Open
heimer had killed one fellow inmate at
Folsom, and had made several MUIR
derous assaults on guards, some of
whom he MANNED for life.
Oppenheimer started his career of
crime in San Francisco when a mes
senger boy. He shot the superintend-
ent who discharged him, but escaped
punishment for this because of his
youth. He was only IA.
Three years later, with three well
known criminals, he was arrested for
robbing a drug store. One of them,
Ross, turned states evidence and es-
capped. Oppenheimer was given a s.
year term.
When sentence was passed upon him
he rose to his feet and shouted to Su-
M nj Tn loo
you gray-headed old william,
could stand on my head that long"
Oppenheimer had been at Folsom
but a few months when the same Ross
whose testimony had sent Oppenheim-
er to Jail, was sent to the institution
for another offense. Oppenheimer
met him at the prison gate and as he
entered plunged a knife into his heart
That's the way to treat squealer,'
he growled, as Ross fell dead at his
feet
After this murder in prison, fol-
which he was given a life sentence, he
became a veritable fiend. He was
placed in solitary confinement, but he
assaulted every guard who came near
him, and seven employees of the state
will wear scars for life as the result OF
encounters with this human tiger. One
day John Summers, guard, opened
the door of Oppenheimer's cage to
hand him food. Without a word OF
warning Oppenheimer sprang upon
him and would have strangled him
had not assistance arrived. Summers
lay for months in the prison hospital
After his recovery, Oppenheimer was
sentenced to die under the law that
had been passed to fit his case.

TO PUT TAFT ON

Ellensburg Has Unique Plan for Visit

ELLENSBURG, Sept. 14.-When
President Taft stops in Ellensburg on
his way to the Seattle exposition he
will address the people of Ellensburg
from a specially built platform made
of Kittitas valley hay, if the plans
of the chamber of commerce are car
ried out. 1t is proposed to erect near
the Northern Pacific depot a rostrum
built entirely of baled and compressed
hay. The decoration will be Kittitas
county apples. The suggestion was
made by Andrew Olsen. one of the
farmers of the valley. and his idea
met with the enthusiastic approval of
the club. 1t is believed that the nov
city of the idea will appeal to the
president and make him remember
Ellensburg before any of the other
towns which he visits.

Power Running to Waste.


while not DESTROYS of seeming to
antagonize the forestry service or any
department of the government, 1 am
willing that you should say that the
government has stopped us, at least
for the present, in our work of devel-
oping our water power plants in the
upper Cowlitz valley. We have filed
on two streams which form the head
waters of the Cowlitz. There is an I'M
limited water power there--hundreds
of thousands of electric horse-powe
undeveloped and going to waste, one
might say.
1--WE have followed the law in all
our undertakings, yet the governm ent
officials have stopped our engineers
from proceeding with the work, pre-
|sumably because a part of the pro-
posed works lies within land which
has been temporarily withdrawnfrom
entry.
1--WE propose to utilize some of the
vast amount of water power in the
Cascades which does not now produce
one dollars worth of value in a year,
nor does it add even a mite to the
comfort, welfare or happiness of the
human race. We are proceeding under
the law and we propose to do so. How
serious the governments interference
will be I ca mot say until the matter
has been taken up with the higher
officials at Washington"

the veriest bl.1combe, peddled out to

to satisfy the needs of every man.
