FRAUDS WHO POSE AS
EXPERTS.

The readers OF newspapers VIII
agree with Governor Fort of New
Jersey, that the expert medical wit
ness is man in whom no great con
iidence Is TO be reposed. Those who
have kept up on the Thaw case and
other murder cases of countrywide
interest will attest to the fact that the
experts in those cases have proved
themselves TO be conscienceless. Gov
ernor Fort says:
During my term upon the bench of
the Supreme Court of the state, it
was my privilege to see much OF the
medical men Of the state. Experience
has given me great faith in the med.
ical witness-not however, the med
ical expert witness so-caIIed.
The man who testlfes TO-DAY in a
homicide case that the defendant is
insane and then shortly afterwards
testities that he Is sane, Is neither in
iluential with the court nor respected
by them. He is an INJURY to the pro
iession and TO the cause OF justice
The sooner the doctors frown down
all such men. the better Will it be Tor
the profession"
The Thaw case has proved some
thing more than that the experts on
insanity are unscrupulous-it has dem
onstrated that they are not compe-
tent TO determine whether a man like
Thaw is sane or insane They may
decide that he Is eccentric and that
under great mental strain in an at.
fair of love he may become infuriated.
but amy one IS competent of reaching
those conclusions by simply reading
the history of the crime Beyond that
the insanity experts have demonstrate
ed their unGtness to be believed as
they have furnished a mass of con-
tradictions.

WHERE Is OUR INDIFFERENCE
GOING TO LAND US?

1t appears readily to close observ-
ers that there is a tendency in all
lines Of endeavor to slight details.
TO pass in a slovenly way over the
rough places-without attempting to
smooth them out-and to accomplish
whatever is being done in the quick
est possible way regardless of cor
rectness or accuracy. Master car
penters are rare today because prop
er training has been denied boys
through the adjustment of the ap-
prentice system. Where is the young
printer today who can set a table of
figures with rules and border? Where
is the machinist who works with pre-
cision and care? There are plenty
of the blacksmith carpenters. numer-
Gus machinists, but the kind who
have mastered their trade with the
same thoroughness that obtained 25
years ago. is a scarcity.

LANDLORD RULE.

English law, descended from the
time of the feudal lords, is responsible
for the greatest system of concentrated
wealth of modern times. The lords
own nine-tenths of the land from
which the congested population of the
little kingdom must get its bread. Here
is what concentration of wealth has
done for England
BY the latest census the population
of the United Kingdom is 41,976,S27,
and the total number of paupers is
1129.O64. The population of England
and Wales is 32,527,S43, of whom
915, 291 are paupers.
The population of Scotland is 4,472,-
1913. of whom 10, 595 are paupers.
The population of Ireland is 4,54S,-
1856. of whom 1913. 400 are paupers.
Since 1901 the number of paupers
in England and Wales-that is, the
persons dependent upon public taxes
for support has increased from 1884,
$50 to 915.391 in 1906. In Scotland
the increase was from 100000 to no.
900.
The average rate of increase for
poor relief during the last ten years
has been $1,500,000. and the total in
1906 had mounted to SIS. 100000.
Remember that while this is a per-
Fiod of industrial depression in the
United Kingdom, there has not been
the horror of a bread famine in Ire
land for years, or a wheat famine in
England since the days of Disraeli.
And the lords own the land.

The first food Of the day.

Every man, woman and child begins
the day with more or less vigor of mind
and strength of body according to the
first food supplied to the stomach. The
best first dish of the day is bowl of
Quaker Oats. The stomach can assimi-
late it more quickly and with less effort
than other foods There is little or no
waste and every ounce of food is con-
verified into muscle, vigor and brain
activity. The strongest people in the
world are the regular eaters of Quaker
Oats. You should eat it for breakfast
every day.
If you are convenient to the store
you'll probably buy the regular size
package. For those who live in the
country the large size family package
is more satisfactory.

directors This action was decided
upon at well attended meeting of
the poultry fanciers of this district
at the court house Thursday after
noon. Under a law of the last legisla-
ture. duly organized poultry associa-
tons, representing the interests of
their county, are entitled to receive an
appropriation of $3.50 annually to
promote the feathered stock breeding
interests. Members of the Yakima as
ISOLATION are to meet with the county
curing the appropriation for the as
ISOLATION they have organized and
which embraces in it's membership all
those who have been active in the
business in the county for some years
past.
The next show of the association
will be held December Is to 81 and
Elmer Dixon of Oregon City has been
decided upon as the judge. Matters
regarding this show were discussed
Thursday.
H. H. Collier of Tacoma. poultry
commissioner for the state of Wash

HONOR MONEY.

Professor George H. Palmer of
Harvard sent the graduating class of
Dartmouth college out into the world
the other day with this advice:
You have had little to do with
self-support. Now you are called upon
to earn your own living. From this
time on honor money-getting, money
and power. Riches are the lever of
service to the world.
Is Professor Palmer right? Did he
state the full case? Is that good
advice? Is it safe to give that notion
to an ambitious boy?
We think not. Money is not the
standard of success-it is merely one
medium. White corpuscled fools may
honor money. but red-blooded men
honor achievement. Riches are not
the lever of service to the world
brains are the lever. Does anyone
think John d. Rockefeller as great a
success as Thomas A. Edison or
Orville Wright?
There are all too many people who
hold Palmer's idea about money.
They change their view when they
have a Harry Thaw in the family.
Sometimes they change their view
when they get well acquainted with a
Luther Burbank, a Wright brother, a
William ]. Bryan, a LaFollette. a
Robert Hunter or some other fellow
who has never relied upon mere
money for a lever of service.
They learn then that only brains
count for happiness and success.
Brains achieve, and many fool and
almost any knave can stack up
money.

SEES BOY FRIEND

Diliert Kline, Thirteen Year Old Lad
Makes Futile Attempt to Reach
Shore.

PASCO, Wash, July 20.-After a
day afternoon to rescue his helpless
companion, who was vainly striving to
reach the shore, Dilpert Kline, aged 10
years, watched the swift current of
the Columbia river take the frail body
of his bosom friend, Harry Jones, be-
yond all possible help. The tragedy,
witnessed only by young Kline, &C.
CURED just north of the Columbia
river bridge, says a Spokane dispatch.
Early in the afternoon Jones, who
was employed with the bridge crew
as a blacksmith, proposed that Kline
accompany him to Indian island for a
few hours fishing. According to the
boys story, they reached the island
in a rowboat, but found a small wood
en- raft. which they used. Engrossed
in the sport they did not notice the
raft creep slowly into the swift cur
rent. AS soon as they discovered their
plight Jones, with cry of warning,
jumped into the river. 1t was only
neck deep. but the swift water soon
forced him into deeper water. Risk
ing his own life. Kline, attempted to
reach him with a fishpole, but with
out avail.
With almost superhuman strength
the youth, after giving up the fight
to save his companion, braved the
swife current and reached the Pasco
shore. searching party was organ
lied. but up to late hour tonight the
body has not been discovered.
Jones had been a resident Of the
city and in the employ of the county
for several months. Among his per-
sonal effects was found an insurance
policy for $1,000 in favor of his mother,
a resident of Manitoba, Canada.
