Delivering the second .anti-saloon
address of the season, Lewis Ray Hor-
ton,n superintendent of the easter
Washington division Of the anti-saioon
league, appeared before a fair-sized
audience at the Central Christian
church yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Hor-
ton presented his arguments in
pleasing manner, and held the interest
of his hearers throughout. At times
he waxed eloquent. though his argu-
ments were presented in the simplest
of language, and the facts presented
dealt almost exclusively with local
conditions.
Mr. FerreIl, secretary OF the Eugene

But Judge Mitchell Gillian

NO ATTEMPT MADE TO
JUGGLE TESTIMONY
Indiscretions Contained in
Letter Not Sufficient
For Suspension.

Ordering that the proceedings
against John c. Hurspool for disbar-
msnt be dismissed. but stating at the
same time that he was yet open to
censure, decision was received in
the city this morning from Judge
Mitchell Gillian, of the superior court
of King county No costs were allowed
either party in this case.
In his decision, the court stated that
the lawyer transmitted to Minnie E. Al
len in relation to the testimony of
Mabel E. Reed, in the case of Robert
M. Horner against the Waitsburg
academy contains indescretions which
subject the respondent, Hurspool to
censure. These are not however, of
sufficient gravity to justify the court
in suspending him, much less disbar
him from the practice of law in this
state.
The court continues that it cannot
discover any attempt to secure false
testimony or to suppress any. The de-
fendant Hurspool had the right to as
sumo that in the first deposition the
witness truthfu1Iy answered the inter-
rogatories submitted to her and that
herr testimony at the second hearing
would be practically the same, mas
much as the interrogatories, both di-
rect and indirect, were practically the
same with one exception.
After due consideration, the case
was dismissed.

get the tariff revised in the interest

troll of Congress out of the hands Of
the Republican party.
Exlcting the prones.

Growing tendency of the American
people to take more active interest
in the manner in which they are gov
erned has disquieting effect on pro-
fessional jobholders. Public sentiment
demands more economical administra-
tion and elective officials are begin
ming to appreciate its force.
Department heads at Washington
are said to have been directed to rid
their pay rolls of all employees whose
services are not essential to the pub
lie interest. Hence loud protests from
those parasites who act on the theory
that political appointment involves
no obligation to the public.
Few of the common people who pay
the taxes will mourn deeply if these
barnacles are reduced to the necessity
of actual labor. Most of them have
become pensioners of the people in
stead of their servants.
Taxpayers of Illinois would be graft
fed to see this salutary reform applied
to State affairs. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been expended
with no other results than to bolster
the political schemes of ambitious gov
ernors. Waste and incompetency in
connection with management of State
institutions have long been notorious

Summer Care of Horses.

A great many, horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders.
This can be remedied in very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main
part of the harness, and it should be
of the very best kind and fit the ami
mails neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
we'll washed and brushed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in
the fields and on the roads during
the warm season. and this is caught
and held on the moist and sweaty
shoulders and collar. there to form
hard Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse it should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any are found,
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away.
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with mixture OF warm
water, salt and soda.
Hot water is one OF the best known
natural agents for relieving soreness
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure of the animal body. Salt
and soda are healing and disinfecting
agents

SUICIDE IN NEW YORK

Increasing and There IL More Misery
There than in Millions Hell.
The rate of suicides in this city has
increased tenfold in the last fifty
years. while the mortality rate has de-
creased, says New York paper.
These were facts emphasized by Dr..
Edward 7. Devine, professor Of social
economy at Columbia University and
general secretary of the Charity Or.
ganization Society, in the first of the
three Kennedy lectures given for the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Whatever may be the cause of sui.

an evidence of misery. The city at
present has 1000 suicides year; last
years record was II In excess.of that
for any previous season. Forty-thrce
cases OF attempted suicide were care.
fully investigated. Two were directly
due to poverty and four to unemploy.
ment. The remaining 81 were laid to
variety of reasons which led the
investigators to the conclusion that
poverty is not the greatest cause of
suicide.
Statistics also show that the age at
which the greatest number of cases
occur Is from so to go. Three men to
one woman kill themselves. There are
more suicides among Protestants than
Catholics. more among Roman than
Greek Catholics, more among Greek
Catholics than Jews.
There are more kinds of misery in
New York. DR.. Devlne declared, than

trary to the idea that misery is a ret.
ribution for mans or parents mis-
deeds, DR.. Devfne stated that it de.
