Mrs w A. Ritz, Mrs. f. G. Cutler.
Mrs. Jennie Mccall and Mrs. Clara
Davis.
The subject of rabbit drives was
taken up and condemned by the So

After a lengthy discussion they de

sport and prosecute any offense Wig

Real Estate Moves.

Practically opening the real estate
situation in this valley which has been
lying dormant for months, 1140 acres
Of farm land changed hands yester-
day. These deals are the first of any
consequence that have been consum-
mated here for some time and it is now
thought by the real estate men that
conditions in this respect will improve.
The firm of Baumeister and Paxton
sold to F. G.. Best, a section of land
in the Horse Heaven country, formerly
belonging to George Ludwigs, for a
consideration of about $S,5O0 The
firm of Copeland and CHM also sold
to Nate Patterson, 500 acres on the old

to membership in the Walla Walla
Humane society, yesterday afternoon
at TIE meeting held in the rooms car
ried cut. The report of Mrs. William

books pertaining to human matters,
and these are to be placed in the pub
lie library in order that the people
of the city may be enlightened on the
subject.

president of the Farmers Savings
bank, William Slime, expert account
ant. and Will Gregory of the Baker
Boyer bank, all stated that the writ
irg of the figures in question had been
done later than the original document
and Mr. Gregory even went so far as
t. declare that the penmanship was
that of different people He was not
substantiated in this latter statement,
however.
The cross examining of witnesses was
fast and furious this morning. 1t was
confined chiefly to the experts who
had been called in to testify. In one in
stance the attorney for the plaintiff
asked H. H. Turner, then occupying
the witness stand, if he knew any
thing good regarding the character of
Smails and though the opposing at
torneys asked thecourt to rule out the
answer. he was told that he did not
have very savory reputation.
All evidence was taken today and
the arguments will be heard before
the court in the morning.

Laws ApIenty.

Missourians need not fear that there
are not enough laws to protect their
interests. The revised statutes on
1909. just issued and received in st.
Joseph for distribution, proves this.
There are just 1876. sections in
the revised statutes. That ought to
be enough to assure safety to every
body. It proves that the lawmakers
have not been idle at their biennial
sessions in Jefferson City. The laws
have been designed to protect every
right person may have and ii en-
forced to the letter many of us would
think that we have no rights at all.
The laws are a monument to dis
honesty in most instances. Humanity
knows what is right and what is
wrong. For him who does right no
laws. are needed, except common
sense, which every man is bound to
exercise if he is honest. Missourians,
therefore, have set up nearly 10000
sections of law to hedge the individual
with safeguards against those who do
not want to respect the rights Of 9th
ers.
When we reach the land of Utopia,
when altruism becomes the ruling
power of state, we will need but one
law: DO unto others as you would
have others do unto you" There is
already tendency toward fewer laws
and better observance of them. Law
is supposed to be common sense en-
acted into statutes. With greater
display Of common sense there would
probably be fewer and better laws
Many of the laws of the statute books
are already obsolete. They no longer
appeal to the sense of common justice.
With the development Of the human
race come broader and better idea
of the rights of each individual. In
proportion to the respect in which
these rights are held will the neces-
sity for the written laws decrease. 1t
will be possible to greatly reduce the
number of these laws without any in
jury to personal liberty.-St. Joseph
Gazette.

Salaries of colleg. Professors.


Many college instructors, and some
college professors, would consider
themselves lucky if they got the wages
of a union bricklayer. They cannot
marry and support their wives prop
erly. Unless their wives have money
they cannot bring up families. There
fore the vote of the Yale Corporation
to increase the salaries of the univer-
sity's teaching staff, as advocated by
President Taft and President Hadley,
was matter of simple justice.
But if the recommendations of the
Yale presidents last report were
adopted by the corporation, its vote
will not help the instructors or as
sistant professors much. The instruc-
tors begin with thousand dollars a
year, receiving for the fourth years
service a maximum of $1,000; assist
ant professors beginning with $1,000,
creep up to maximum of $4,000. The
rate of pay for instructors is as high
as prevails in other universities. DR..
Hadley argues that if, after four years
service. an instructor is not good
enough to promote to an assistant pro-
fessorship he ought to be encouraged
to go somewhere else. 4
AS for the assistant professor, he
would raise the rate for the first ap-
pointment from $500 to $4,000, but,
with some exceptions, would let the
maximum remain where it is. As In
dividuals, he thinks the assistant pro-
fessors< deserve a higher maximum.
But it would be bad policy for the
university to give 1t to them.
The policy should be not to make
subordinate positions too attractive. A
man for whom there happens to be no
positions at the top of his profession
IN given university might better
avail himself Of a broader field than
be tempted by a comparatively high
salary to remain there all his life as a
subordinate. =
There is philosophy in these rec
concentrations that is both shrewd and
kindly. 1t places the premium upon
promotion. The policy might be
adopted in other forms Of business,
than that of running college. But,
while preserving its marked dfffer-
ences in pay for grades of service,
ought not the whole scale Of college

While the election yesterday showed
a lack of interest in the very. .imper-
tant issue which was at stake, it was
nevertheless a pronounced victory for
progressive Columbia. 1t is more than
probable that the full strength of the
opposition was shown by the vote, and
that had a normal vote been cast the
proposition would have carried in
much greater proportion. The sue
cess of the bonds marks a decided
step toward. a greater Columbia, Ev-
cry precaution should be exercised
that the funds which have been guar.
anteed are expended wisely and judic-
iously. They are ample to provide for
Columbia service which should
abundantly meet her needs for many
years,
