Time was when the business col
leges fulfilled their appointed func-
tions when they turned out more or
less competent stenographers and
typewriters and practitioners of the
mysterious art of keeping books.
That did well enough for a bygone
age. Now clerks are clerks no longer.
they are Office assistants with en-
larged methods of doing the same old
things. with equal enlargement OF
their own idea of their own import
ance.
II develops out OF the new methods
and the new appliances to set the new
methods in operation. From the
great corporations down to the most
modest business establishments it's
all loose leaf. form letter, follow UP.
A purchaser is swallowed up in one
line of business system, he is fol-
lowed up with all manner of induce
ments to come back to buy some
more. A shopper. one who merely
prices things as he looks around. is
not negligible in the new era of bust
ness because he merely shops; an
other line of business system catches
him as prospective customer and
niles him as a prospect" to be bom-
barded with every sort of inducement
to become buyer.
The business schools are turning
out so many of this newer type of Of
nee assistant, highly specialized in
the arts of modern commerce. that
the graduates are glad TO take any
sort of place. even of the more hum
bic sort Thus it is that in the COM
merce which concerns itself with the
more intimate domestic needs. the
butcher. the grocer. the fishmonger.
even the candlestiek maker. If the
lamp of the metallic flament has not
wholly replaced him, the trained Of
fee assistant has begun to replace the
random clerk.

RIOT |NSTIGATOR
FACES HIS JUDGES
CHARLES ERHART OF
lone TRIED HERE
Man from One County Being Tried in
Another Before Judge from Third
-Erhart Alleged to Have Started
Riot in lone.

Charged with assault with attempt
to Kill. Charles Erhart of lone, is on
trial in the circuit court for this coun-
tv today. Judge Butler of Condor is
on the bench and the unusual spec
tacle is presented of a man from one
county being tried in another before
a Judge from still a different county
and judicial district
Charles Erhart is the man who is
alleged to have been responsible for
the riot in lone, the night of July
of this year The trouble is alleg-
ed to have Originated in the Pastime
saloon in lone and was started by
drunken saloon brawl. This resulted
in Frhart being chased by an armed
posse of citizens and general shoot
ing up of the small Morrow county
town. Erhart was finally captured
after being wounded and compelled
to lay out all night
The accused man is being defended
by Samuel Van Vactor of Heppner'
and Judge James A. Fee of this city
In outlining his case to the jury, Van
Vactor declared they would prove
that the shot fired by Erhart and the
one on which the indictment is based
was( fired Accidentally as the result
of his stumbling as he was walking
along the sidewalk. He said further
that they would prove that conspir-
acy was formed by the armed mob
for the purpose of numbering the ac-
cused man.
The state is endeavoring 70 show
that Erhart went tn the drinking re-
sort in search of trouble or revenge,
ana that his attack which resulted in
the riot was unrrovoked, but that the
accused man was the aggressor

There are large number Of wit
nesses here from lone and It is eN-

ma,nder of the week.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-secretary
Ballinger late last night issued
lengthy statement in which in most
vigorous terms he declared the char
ges made by Representative Hitch
cock before the house committee on
expenditures and aimed at the inter-
riar department and general land Of
flee were without foundation.
Answering in turn each of the
charges made yesterday by Mr..
Hitchcock in his statement, Secretary
BaIlinger asserts that insofar as they
al.ege any extravaganza, wrongdoing.
or favoritism on his part, they are abb
solutely without foundation"
False, ridiculously false; equally
false; equally ridiculous; a peculiarly
unwarranted assault upon an efficient
government officer"-the latter re-
ferring to Mr.. Schwartz, chief of field
seryice-are expressions of the vari-
Gus charges.
In regard to appointing a relative.
J S. Ba.linger, as confidential clerk
when he became comm 'ssioner of the
land office, the secretary says. this
was because he was not personally ac-
quainted before coming here with any
officers or clerks in the land office
and desired to have some one whom
he knew. He says that Judge Wright
was removed, not to make way for ].
s Ballinger. but Judge Wright's age,
he being nearly so, made him ply
sically disqualified to perform his du-
ties"
The vacancy on the law board, he
says. was filled, not by Jack Balm
ger, but by Judge Grey.
He says that the certain large
brick chimney" to which Mr.. Hitch
cock alluded. "was erected pursuant
to a specific appropriation for the
purpose by congress- that the addi-
tional clerks in the land office COM
planned of We're necessitated by the
congressional appropriation of ST.
600, 900 for protecting public lands,
and that the charge in regard to the
purchase of furniture 'is on a par
with that relating to the employment
of additional clerks

came as a surprise as in the afternoon
he evinced a disposition TO Act the
matter go unanswered until the joint
