by the voters is the law that makes
a start toward cutting the knot OF
legal redtape that has tied up the
civilized world tighter each year foE
centuries. BY a good majority the
voters OF Oregon decided that a two
thirds jury verdict is sufficient In
civil cases.
Local judges almost had apoplexy
when they discovered their sacred
citadel besieged, but a lot OF legal
buncombe has been wiped out in these
parts. Under this new law the state
constitution is so amended that coun

prosecuting attorneys may be done

they can get along without these high

not have to elect or pay these officials

NE WYORK, Nov. 30.-Dr. Freder-

This announcement was made to-
Gay by Benjamin Hampton, editor OF
the magazine that paid $4,000 for
Commander Pearys story OF his trip
TO the North Pole.
In his own story the first install

nary number OF the magazine, DIR.
Cook frankly admits that he does NOT
know whether he reached the North
Pole.
In the opening article, dealing par
ticularly with the psychology OF his
adventure, the man who has been al
Iernately lauded as the greatest ex-
pIorer and denounced as the most
colossal fakir OF the age, declares:

It was my privilege early this
month to sit in the Office OF NIX
John WANkMAKER and 20
listen TO a TALK ON ADVER-

every business man in the United

I wish I could repeat it here
literally, but cannot. If what
Mr.. Wanamaker said could be

be an inspiring sermon to young
men just starting their business
careers.
I hadn't seen Mr.. Wana-
maker for a long time. He looks
as young to me as he did twenty
years ago. He impressed me as
having as much spirit and FIRE as
a man of forty. Yet he is
seventy-three years old and
works hard every day. No man
that l know works harder.
He said about his advertising

STILL UNCHANGED

controversy between 1900 firemen on
western railroads and the railroad man

jdent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen. tonight to be
remote.
I'VE have had four days of argument
and we seem to be no nearer a settle
ment than when we began" said Mr.
Carter. THE railroads still refuse to
arbitrate the points in dispute. which
they say are questions only of discipline
and authority. and are not arbitrable.
When we agreed to lay our case before
the federal mediators 1t was with the
distinctive understanding that action
would be swift, and we hoped to have
an adjustment within IS hours. We de-
clared at the time that our vote to strike
was not annulled, and we still stick to
that view. We have the power to call
a strike unless something Is done soon.'
United States Commissioner of Labor
Neill heard arguments from the men to-
day and it is expected he will continue
these tomorrow.

care to take part in such reception,
