SEATTLE's LEADING PAPERS.

The Post-Intelligencer says: "The
attitude of the Seattle Times calls for
no further exposure. OF course it de-
fends the Black Hand. now that the
arrests come close to the Times intl-
mates. Like sides with like. and if
there is any lower depth into which
the Seattle Times can sink, wallow
and snarl. it will sink, wallow and
snarl Ugh!"
In reply the Times says:
Wilson's hireling has little sense at
.all-but none about propriety. If he
were to take a bath he would do it
like the birds, in the first puddle of
water he found, without regard to
the illegal exposure he might make.
But unfortunately for the COM
munity and public decency, Wilson's
hireling never bathes! He remains in
the native condition of primitive man
and will continue in that barbarlc
state even though he were to live to
insult another generation by his un-
cleanness.
This hireling of Wilson has become
a sort of hermit. Before Wilson took
the fellow in he was sort of Rip
Van Winkle-living with his dog
among the beasts and birds of the
forests.
His conduct since Wilson brought
the fellow back to civilized life has
been of character to divorce him
from all human association.
He has been as completely ban
ished from the society of men as if he
were a leper Men shun him as if he
were a living stencil His breath
stinketh! Els touch is that of a clam,
his movements those of a reptile.
There is no red blood in him. He hates
all successful men. He has ever been
the dependent of others. To those
who have aided him in his greatest
need he has ever proven an enemy. He
has bitten the hand that fed him, like
the cur he is!
He charges other men with crimi-
nal conduct-and yet he has violated
every law of God and men"
These are fair samples of a certain
line of editorial comment contained
in the Seattle papers recently. They
show that the editors of the big news
papers often display no better sense
than those of little papers.

COULD SWIM LIKE A DUCK.

Two farm laborers, Jones and
Smith, recently spent a day on a
beach. During the day Jones sug-
gested dip in the briny, and on ask
ing Smith II he could swim, that
worthy said Eyes, like a duck" They
entered the water, and Jones imme-
diately struck out, and soon left his
companion fifteen or twenty yards
behind.
On looking around to see If Smith
was coming, he was Mortified to see
him struggling in the water in a
drowning condition.
Jones at once made for his friend,
and with great difficulty managed to
get him to shore.
Restoratlves were at once applied,
and in a short time Smith regained
consciousness, when his companion
said to him: "You great fule, you
said you cud swim like a duck!"
$50 I can," said Smith. But I lost
my futhold."

TIMELY WARNING.

The Spokane Chronicle sounds the
following note of warning to those
rushing to file for the reservation
land drawings:
The registration for the drawing Of
reservation lands which began last
week opens a field for bunco men and
land seekers should be on their guard
against being swindled by the smooth
sharks who are after their money. II
Is safe way to rely upon the infor-
nation given out by the land depart

present If you wish to participate in
the drawing is to find a notary who is
authorized to receive applications and
he will see that your papers are cor

WHAT DOCTORS ARE FOR.

1t is said that in China physicians
are paid for keeping people well. rath-
er than for tending them when they
are sick.
And the idea seems so practical that
It ought to find ready acceptance in
the Occidental nations.
At the meeting of the American Ac-
ademy Of Medicine in Atlantic City,
some time ago, DR.. Woods Hutchinson
read paper in favor of practicing
medicine by contract.
His suggestion is that family doc
tor should receive a fixed fee by the
month or year for supervising the
general health of his clients. The
fee should be adjusted by the income
of the patient, and should cover "a
semi-annual examination Of each
member Of the family and sanitary
inspection of their dwelling place.
1t would seem that the principal in
volved is a decided advance upon tho
old practice. II an ounce Of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure, this
new scheme of doctoring by contract
ought to beat the old-fashloned ther-
apeutics by about sixteen - one.
1t puts the self-interest Of the ply
sician in line with that of the patient
While, as things stand, it is severe
strain upon the altruism Of the medi-
cal fraternity that they fatten and
prosper on the leanness and misery Of
their neighbors.
Thus there can be little doubt thai
the practice of preventive" medicine
must be the practice Of the future. The
difficulties in the way are the diff
culties Of unreason-the aboundinl
lack Of prudence and forethought.

HAVE REASON TO SMILE.

Farmers of Umatilla county are
wearing smiles these days and well
they may. While total failures are
unknown in this section of the west,
some seasons are better than others
and with one of the best being
brought to pass out of what a few
weeks ago promised to be one of the
poorest, it is enough to make the
tiller of the soil open up the throttle
OF his automobile and hide himself
and machine in dust. With almost a
normal yield and better quality
than usual, the prices are high enough
to make the per acre returns as great
OF greater than they have been in
years. Why shouldn't he smile.

much as I must take up note for

SENTENCE SERMONS.
Good manners adorn good motive.

Good manners adorn good motives.
It's faith in luck that makes the
loafer.
Nothing is saved that is withheld
in selfishness.
No life gives much light until it is
willing to be consumed.
No life is hopeless so long as it
gives others happiness.
Truth is always too big to be
bounded by one mans vision.
The sorrows of earth cannot be
cured by signing for heaven.
Nothing can make up for the loss
es that come from self love.
A good deal Of religious fog is due
to evaporated enthusiasm.
Being forearmed may be the best
kind Of faith in the right fight.
OF all promises the worst to break
are the ones we make ourselves.
A man may cover up his sins, but
he cannot escape from the sinner.
A great man never has time 90 wait
for an audience and he never needs
to.
He who carries his idol before him
usually blames it for leading him as
tray.
Let your religion make good and
you will not need to worry about
making others good.
No man gets to be any better in
character than he is willing others
should be in condition.
When man is waiting on the Lord
he is most likely to be working for
some Of his children.
Too many put their hands to their
heads when they want TO know
whether their hearts are soft.

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT.
Demurrers in Oklahoma Title Cases
Started Are Sustained.

Muskogee, Okla. - Judge Ralph
Campbell has sustained the demur-
rers in the suits brought by the
United States to set aside various
deeds and leases made by citizen allot-
tees in the five civilized tribes in
eastern Oklahoma, and thus settled a
legal controversy that had been the
cause of considerable concern in that
part of the state.
The court reviewed the relation of
the United States to the five tribes
since they became nation, and found
that no vestige of title to the lands
allotted them now remains in the
United States. The demurrers in
volved the question of the citizenship
of these Indians and the court de.
clared them to be citizens of the
United States with all the rights, priv.
ileges and immunities of citizenship
1t is held that the United States can
not maintain these suits on the prin
ciple that it sustains to the individual
Indian a trust relation, such guardian
ship being Incompatible with citizen
ship, national and state.
Finally the bills were held bad
becaue numerous defendants are
Joined in each bill who were con
nected with many distinct transac

eapolis.-Arthur Anderson, 10
years old, is dead and his employer,
Conrad Martinson, is dying at the city

Gas company. Both victims were
hurled through the roof of the one

was blown into atoms.
Seven distinct explosions followed

the vicinity were thrown to the floor

1t is believed that the explosion re-
suited from excess pressure on the
huge generator used in the plant to
furnish gas for charging automobile
gas tanks. Since the installation of
the plant, several weeks ago, fears
have been expressed by people living
in the neighborhood because of the
explosive nature of the calcium car
bide used in the generation of the
gas. AS the result of continued com
plants received from residents, an or
dinance was already under preparation
by the assistant city attorney, pro-
hibiting the establishment of such
plants in the congested districts OF
the city. Action was taken by Fire
Marshal Charles Ringer, following an
investigation of the Minneapolis acety-
