WISE AND OTHERWISE
JUNGLE ANGEL

There is no just reason for it,
but it is fact, nevertheless that
some people look upon the aver
age lawyer with a grain of sus-
picion, as if dishonesty lurked
within. This may be accounted
for partly from the fact that in
law suits the opposite lawyer is
the subject of prejudice. No
client should hold aught against
the opposing lawyer if he is act
ing in a gentlemanly manner.
But some people are near sighted
and can only see their own side.
Prejudice has a great deal to do
with forming the opinions of some
men. Your Uncle has had many
years experience with men of all
avocations and especially with
lawyers and there are class of
men more true and Trustworthy
than the members of the bar. It
is true that everyone called a law
yer is not a real lawyer, but the
proportion of that class is a great
deal lower than in any other &C.
cupation. The crooked lawyer is
easily known by the people and
confidence in him very soon van
ishes.

The evil of child labor is becom-
ing outrageous. The horrors of
it are too numerous to catalogue,
says Senator Beveridge. tits true
that child labor is employed to
an extent not dreamed of by the
citizens of the United States. In
cotton and other factories boys
and girls of tender years are re-
quired to leave their beds at an
early hour in the morning and
work ten hours or more under
conditions that stunt the mental
and physical growth. They are
exposed to immoral influences
and contract ideas that unfit
them for becoming desirable cit

the souls of innocent children
for a few paltry dollars.

New York state, by legislative
enactment, made the 18th of
October a legal holiday. The
measure has been signed by Gov.
Hughes and is now a law of the
state. 1t occurs to us that if
congress would follow in the
wake of the legislature of New
York and likewise pass a bill
holidayizing the 18th day of Oc-
tober, the day on which Chris
topher Columbus discov err e d
America, it would show its ap-
probation of the memory of the
man who made it possible for a
congress to exist in this country.
Even the Fourth of July should
be no more revered than the
twelfth of October. Not only
congress but the legislature of
every state in the union should
follow the example of New York
in this particular.

The Other Side

Jacob Furth, president of the
Puget Sound Railway company,
better known as the Tacoma In
terurban, when asked for his
side of the controversy now rag
ing between the company and it's
patrons over the increased rate
over the line, said: my side of
the story is, we found it utterly
impossible to haul passengers at
the rate we have been hauling
them. 1t is not a business prop
osition and even those who are
dependent on the road for de-
livery to and from their work or
to the cities along the line ought
not to expect US to operate the
road only on business principals.
When the road was operated
at the rate it has been hauling
passengers, then the passengers
were getting something for
nothing and that should not be
expected by anyone. A two
cent fare, the rate that has been
fixed, is by no means exhorbi-
tant. There is not another inter-
urban line in America operating
to passengers so cheap as that.

There is much interesting ex-
element all over the civilized
world now over the proposition
of the masonic order to rebuild
King Solomon's temple. The
project will, if undertaken, be
the most stupenduous of any in
in the worlds history. The tenn
pie, it is estimated by experts in
ancient history, cost the enor-
nous sum of 1886, 900, 900. The
material was brought from far
and near and Lebanon was prac-
tically devastated of tall cedars.

The women all over the civil
lied world appear to be clamor-
ing for suffrage. They claim
the right to go to the polls and
vote the same as the husband,
and why not 3? The women have
as much interest in the welfare
of the city, state and nation as
have the men. They are even
more intensely interested in the
children's welfare financially and
morally. Why should they not
have vote as to what policy
should prevail with reference to
finances and morals ?

The power of wrong sugges-
ton does more to blight the life
of the child than people are
aware of. The parent is more to
blame than they know. The
child is furnished with an excit-
ing novel; it may be based upon
some love story with improper
suggestions, Or it may be a rob-
berry. Couched in the story is
an insiduous, improper thought,
the child mind grasps it, the
seed is sown and will surely bear
fruit of its kind. No parent
should allow a child to read ten
cent novels or any book without
previous examination.

E. H. Hartman, the great
railroad magnate, it is said,
longed for a simple country
home where he could get close to
nature and forget stocks and
bonds, bulls and bears, and
wolves and lambs. That's the
same old story of wanting to be
what you are not. Had Harri-
man never risen to the station
in life that he did the world
would have been the loser. He
not only demonstrated the Won
derful elacity of the human
mind, but the possibilities of the
human family by cooperation.

this higher rate having been
fixed after it successfully tried
to operate, from a passenger
standpoint, at cheaper rate. Our
road has done a great deal of
passenger business since it has
been in operation, but it was
done at a loss, and the more of
that kind of business you do the
poorer you get, and after we had
thoroughly realized that, we con-
cluded to equalize the fare on
the road by making all pay the
same. To the working man,
who goes to and from his work,
a thirty per cent discount will be
given and if he takes opportun-
ity, he will not pay but very lit
tie more in the future than he
has in the past. The building of
the road between here and Ia
coma was a financial investment
and those who desire to take
advantage of its accommodations
must look on it in that light, and
if they do not then those who put
up the money should do so, and
they have. That's my story. "
