Hess Spring Opening
Display.
The New Stores Gala
Days.

The lovely and substantial
side by side exhibition of new
merchandise attracted the ladies'
attention.
An ideal spring day with just
enough wind to make it bracing,
brought out an unusual number
of ladies.
The store was resplendent in
gay colors and bright flowers.
Decorations were all in green,
tastely trimmed and beautifully
harmonizing with merchandise
on display. To the casual OBJ
server it would seem that this
opening was a social gathering
instead of a commercial event.
There was on display a good
many articles that have just
made their appearance In the

ceptionally well. Miss Jessie
Berry presided in the Millinery

BEAUTY NOT THE CHARM.

Beauty has never enabled a
woman to retain a hold on her
husbands heart. While virtue has
been of the utmost efficiency to
many, it Is not beauty which keeps
heart constant; it may sustain
the heart for moment, but the
chains are quickly thrown off If
lbe3nty be the sole attraction. God
has set too high value on the
heart of man to permit it to yield
the empire over itself completely
and forever to so frivolous a thing
as mere external beauty.
y That which really charms the
heart of man, which attracts and
fixes his affections, are the quail
ties of mind and heart, that gentle,
yet firm virtue, that unvarying
sweetness, that untiring patience,
that quiet fortitude in the misfor-
tunes of life. A man may have
great defects, even great vices !;
but If woman be all she should
he will respect her in spite of him
self and place full trust in her.

THE SENAT HAS 1T ALL

Shall Charles w. Fulton, former
member of the United States SEN

court of western Oregon?
This case of Fulton is very in.
teresting. 1t is interesting in
many ways, but among other
things it is interesting because it
serves to show why our federal
courts are not like Caesars wife.
The United States senate wants
Fulton appointed federal judge.
The senate wants this because the
interests-the money interests
represented by majority of the
senate, like to see the federal jul
dietary mad up of men like Full
ton. Individual senators want him
appointed because he is a member
of their I'm Good" club. He is O,
KID by Aldrich. He is lone of the
boys They like to see members
of the in Good" club of the SEN
ate kept on the government pay
rolls, and retained in positions of
influence and usefulness-to the
masters of the senate.
So the senate created this $4,000
year job for Fulton. The argu-
ment which put the bill through
the senate was the whispered
word ITS for Charley
1t will be remembered that the
republican voters of Oregon turned
Fulton down for reelection to the
senate. Unable to beat him against
the power of the party machine,
they preferred democratic sena-
tor, and elected Chamberlain.
At about this time the house sent.
over to the senate bill creating a
new federal judgeship for the west,

ton. The senate at once tackled on.
new judgeship for Oregon-"for
Charley" The people of his state,
after hot campaign, had put him
off the public pay roll. The senate
sought to put him back on.
The senate amendment was not
welcomed by the house. But the
senate got the bill into a confer
ence committee and the house
yielded, as usual, fof Charley.
And so. in the last day of the
session of the sixtieth congress, in
the rush and turmoil of Inaugural
ton. the bill creating the job for
Charley became law.
Now President Taft is being urg-
ed to appoint Charley on the Job.
Opposed to Fulton are both the
senators from Oregon, Bourne, re-
publican, and Chamberlain, demo-
craft. Both have registered their
protest.

The WOMAN'S CORNER
SOME WIVES
ARE SARCASTIC

Some wives are rather tOuchy
and inclined to be sarcastic on this
question of how to hold husband.
Ever notice that a woman can be
sarcastic at times? Here is a
sample and also something little
different:
Editor The Press: To hold a
husband:
First: Keep his stomach full
and don't ask him for money to
keep 1t that way.
Second: Don't ask him for
money for household expenses or
for the things women love to have
to make them appear well at all
times.
Third: Don't ask him to take
you to any place of amusement or
to spend the evening with some
friends, for the poor dear is too
tired; but get his slippers and
paper ready and let him enjoy
them for while.
Fourth: Then let him stroll out
by himself, and the next morning
greet him with a smile as though
nothing had happened.
Fifth: And whatever he does
don't get jealous.
Sixth: Don't cross him in any
money matters.
Seventh: Tell him he is the
sweetest, dearest, most perfect
hubby living.
Eighth: And that the children
are jsut like him and not one bit
like wiley. Mrs. c. d. d.

Wound in Back

Three negroes armed with revolvers
held up Harry Archer and A. b. Powell,
his roommate. at the corner of Mason

Hotel Menlo, were observing the cele-

negroes. who with threatening flour
ishes of their revolvers commanded the
men to throw up their hands.

and ran down Mason street. Three
shots were sent after Archer Iand then
