AN ACCIDENT MARS

track for the use of the racers were

Despite the crowd and the narrow
quarters comparatively few were Sc.

HE SERVED THE PEOPLE.

Romantic indeed is the life story
Of Joseph Pulitzer, owner of the New
York World, who died Sunday on
board his yacht in Charleston har-
Dor. His life was such that people
will marvel at the story yet it was a
simple life after all.
Pulitzer was a Hungarian and he
came to this country just in time to
fight with the union army in the civ
il war. He was a cavalryman and
after the war he went to work as a
waiter in st. Louis. He studied hard
at spare moments to better equip him
self and within a short time he be-
came a newspaper reporter. His rise
then became rapid and at his death
he was the owner of the New York
World, the st. Louis Post-Despatch
and was rated as worth $3O,O0O,00O
Interesting features about Pulitzer s

life are. the fact that he had been
blind for 20 years and that the World
building is located upon the spot
where stood a hotel from the lobby
of which Pulitzer was elected in his
youthful days because he did not have
money enough to pay for a room.
But how did Pulitzer succeed so we'll
as publisher? The World is the
greatest newspaper in the United
States and the owner of that paper
was a man of whom all took notice
though like other publishers he was
little known personally to the pub
lie at large. Pulitzer advertised the
World but not the owner thereof.
OF course the success of Pulitzer
was due to a combination of personal
qualifications. He was a capable ex-
ecutive as well as a newspaperman.
But the ideals he followed as an edi-
tor constituted the basis of his sue
cess. Pulitzer's view of the 'newspa-
per business was that a publication
should be more than a newsgiver.
When he acquired the Post-Dispatch
he made it force for the right in
st. Louis. He fought the enemies of
the public good and he fought them
with success. He made the Post-Des-
patch the champion of the people and
the World has been conducted along
similar lines. He won out by such
a course and his success is evidence
of the reward that comes to publish
.ers who make their first aim the
welfare of their people.

ernment been so slothful in trying to
rights to which they are entitled ?
Major Swartzlander, agent upon the
reservation, has been doing his duty,
it is true. But thus far he appears
as the only official who is seeking to
establish the rights to which the In
dians are justly and legally entitled.

Why Buy Indigestion?

II you knew how much lard your
grocer sells couldn't you tell pretty well
how much indigestion there is in the
neighborhood? Lard is made from hog
fat and is often indigestible. 1t is heav-
ier in your stomach than on the scales
Buy Cottolene, however, and you get a
vegetable-oil cooking fat that is as pure
and wholesome as olive oil. Besides,
Cottolene is more economical than but
ter or lard-one-third less being re-
quired.
Remember, Cottolene contains no hog
fat; there's no lard indigestion III food

| being waged by William Caldwell to
secure the right to use Umatilla river
water for the irrigation of land upon
the reservation. 1t is a suit that
means much to the Indians and to
the white renters and owners of res
ervation land. 1t means much to the
means considerable to the Byers
milling company for if Caldwell wins
out the mill may have to obtain pow
er from source other than the river.
Facts set forth in the amended
complaint filed by d. w. Bailey, at
torney for Caldwell, make interesting
reading. The complaint purports to
show the right under which the mill
ing company has so long made use
OF the river. If it does so correctly
then it would appear the milling com
pany's right is entirely subordinate
to the rights of the Indians
The original right to the use of the
river water was awarded to G.. A.
Ladow and others by the department
of the interior in 1870. The permit
given at that time contains this sig
nificant clause:
I'm granting said permission to
construct the said ditch it is on the
express condition that no permanent
right shall attach or become vested
but that any ditch or canal dug or
constructed and the use of the same
shall be subject to the pleasure of
the department"
In 1885 congress passed an act con-
firming the transfer of the Ladow
right to the Byers company and the
following is given as an extract from
that measure:
THAT the water right across a por-
tion of said reservation from the town
of Pendleton, granted by the inter-
ior department July :. 1870, the ap-
plication Of George A. Ladow and
other citizens of Pendleton for man
ufacturing, irrigation and other pur-
poses be confirmed and continued to
w s. Byers & Co., and their sue
cessors, provided, that this act shall
in no way impair or affect any ex-
isting right to a reasonable use Of
the water of said stream for agricul-
tural purposes nor shall confirm or
grant any right beyond or different
that to which it has been heretofore
appropriated"
If in truth this is the extent of the
Byers right it becomes a source Of
wonder that the mill company has
been able to monopolize the river for
so many years. II the department
OF the interior may terminate the By
ers permit at its pleasure why has
water been withheld from the thirsty
acres on the reservation? Why has
the reservation been left so long as a
dry farming section? Why have the
Indians been given such small rentals
when with the use Of water their al
lotments could have brought them
several times as much as they have
been getting? Why has not the gov
ernment taught the Indians to irri-
gate their allotments?
1t seems that the Indian rights have
stood forth very clearly since the su-
preme court decided the case that in
volved water rights on the Blackfoot
reservation. Then why has the gov

for the future. Certainly but just
now the chief hope of some millions
of people is that the next president
will be a better and Drawer fighter
for the common good than is the
honorable present incumbent.

RY FRED L. BOAT.

LONDON, June 15.-Pity the
lord chamberlain.
He does all the work. He gets
all the blame. And there is no
salary attached to the job. Every
body hates and fears him; he has
not friend in the world. Espec-
tally now.
The lord chamberlain is super
intendent of the society depart
ment of the royal household. No
body can get bid to a function
given by King George without the
sanction of the lord chamberlain.
And the lord chamberlain is sup
posed to be more discerning and
finicky in such matters than any
body else.
Take the pre-coronation festiv-
tiles, for instance. There are four
courts. Twelve thousand socially
am bilious women and men-4O0O
Americans made application to the
lord chamberlain to be invited to
these functions. Not 1000 of them
were invited.
Then there will be the COM
mand performance at Drury Lane
May II. The back seats in the
gallery, close to the roof, will be
reserved for humble baronets,
merchant princes who bought
their titles, and the least objec-
tionable of Americas beastly rich.
There will be a state banquet
and ball at Buckingham palace
and any number of luncheons and
dances, and small dinners, at
which royalty will be present, and
even IL given by private individu-
ais, the lord chamberlain must
have chance to examine the in
vitation lists.
The Ascot races begin June 13,
and a distinguishable company
had received commands" to spend
that week with the king and queen
at Windsor.
Coronation follows Ascot; then
more dinners and balls, and on
June &c the gala performance at
the opera house. 1t is likely that
at least 27 boxes and 200 stalls
will be reserved for the king and
his guests.
The rest of the house may be
sold. but the lord chamberlain
must know who are to occupy the
remaining seats. Boxes on the pit
and grand tier will fetch $500
each; those on the two rows above
$500 and 5000 respectively. Sim
gle seats In the stalls will be 800.
There will be another gala per-
Torrance on the night of June 81,
this time at his majesty's theatre,
where the whole of the dress circle
will be converted into a royal box.
The last seven or eight rows are
reserved by the lord chamberlain.
