Saturday evening Stanley Grajerky,
whose home was inKoscisuko township,
met death on the road home from Wau-
bay. Just how it happened will likely
never be known as it is believed no one
was witness to the tragedy. The
team arrived home without the driver
and the family immediately went out
in search for the husband and father
and found his body on the Boike grade
a few miles from home. The authori.
ties were notified and after examination
decided that it was accidental. Marks
on the head showed that the wheel
struck him apparently causing death
simultaneously. He leaves a wife aud
four children.

WHAT OF OUR SENATORS?


The Nebraska State Journal raises
the question, What are we going to dc
with our ex-senators?" but before get
ting through the other question is sug-
geSted, what are our ex-senators go
ing to do to us?"
1t calls attention to the fact that La
o1Iette threw Senator QuarleS from the
senate to the federal bench. Even sc
Senator Fulton, whom the Oregon peo-
pie peat at the primaries and again in
legislative hall, now asks to sit in judg-
ment over the Oregon people, above Ore
gon courts and legislatures and sena-
tors, as FEDERAL judge of the Oregon dis
trlct. And senatorial courtesy bids
fair to give him his WISH
dhere is nothing strange in the cases
referred TO. 1t Is only natural that men
VINO nave served together in the senate
should have kindly feeling for each
other. And besides it sometimes hap
pens that very able and good senator
machine at home
What this country now really stands
In need of is few more ex-senatOrS,
and II this movement among the people
TO regulate the special interests instead
OF allowing the special interests to run
the government is successful there will
soon be several more eX-senators and
ex-congressmen added to the list. When
the people learn to stand as Loyalty be-
hind the men in congress who truly
represent them as the special interests
do to the men who betray the people
for them there will not be very much
to fear from our ex-senators.-Wichi

THE THREATENED "BOYCOTT.'
We are hearing and reading a good
deal nowadays of the exercise of the
boycott" against railroads and al
so against cities in consequence of a
freight rate given by the katy
road to Oklahoma points. In view
of the fact that the courts have ruled
SO strongly against this un-American
practice, when expressed by labor or
ganizations, it looks rather strange
that large and influential corpora
tions should indulge in such threats.
The laws of this country ought to ap-
ply to the strong as we'll as to the
weak, to the rich as we'll as to the
poor, to the corporation and munich
pality as well as the combinations of
labor. 1t is such disregard of the
wealth that is creating a feeling of
distrust among the common people
the bone and sinew of the nation. 1t
is this flagrant assumption of privi-
1egeS by the creations of public favor,
that they are not willing to grant to
others, that makes socialists, anar-
chists, and all the dissatisfied multi
tude that is increasing so rapidly.
When special favors are no longer
sought and assumed by the organ
lied wealth of this country, then and
not until then, will the people be sat
isfied. It is better to exercise wisdom
and good judgment in time and OBJ
serve to the letter the requirements
that the laws imply so that the finger
of scorn cannot in justice be pointed
at inequalities of their enforcement.
