Two Reasons.

An exchange says there are
two reasons why some people
don't mind their own business.
One is that they haven't any
mind, and the other is that they
haven't any business.
The better class of citizens
in every community is greatly
interested in the strict and inn
partial enforcement of all the
laws and When anyone is put
ting in his timein "cussin' "the
officials who enfo. re the laws
it is a good plan to find out
just what has happened to the
"Cusser" that he should have
such a sore toe. Do a little
hunting for the cause and you
will be sure to find some per-
sonal grievance. -Clarinda Her

Daily Gate City: If you
would be happy, anticipate
more sunshine for the days not
yet born, have confidence that
what went wrong today will be
righted on the morrow, have
faith in your fellow man and
confidence in yourself; brood
not of your sorrows and think
much of the pleasanser things
of life.

Women Without Names

"Womankind in Korea" says
DE-. G. Kemp in "The Face of
Manchuria," Suffers from a
strange lack the absence of
names. A woman may possess
a pet name; otherwise she has
none. Frequently she does not
even know her husbands name.
If she becomes a Christian and
receives baptism she acquires a
name, and this must give her
quite new sense of dignity"

Too Many Great Men.
The trouble with Iowa is, no
doubt, we have too many great
men, all anxious to serve "the
dear people," Had we fever
great statesmen, it would be so
much more easy to select the
Senator. The only way out Of
the difficulty would be to m; !Se
a radical change in the manner
of electing Senators, by giving
the power, by a direct vote of
the people.

Why take chances in selecting
paint? Since there are four eli
mates in the United States-as
you will see by the map above
and since all other paints but
Lincoln Climatic Paint are made
on the same formula for all four
climates, the chances are just
three to one against you that you
won't get a paint that will endure
in your climate if you try these
others.
Lincoln Climatic Paint is the
only paint made on four separate
formulas-to fit the four different
climates, or degrees of dampness
and dryncss.
Paint troubles in the past, such
as cracking. peeling and chalking
have been due largely to the fact
that no makers have manufac-
tured paint climatically adjusted.
Each maker has made all his
paint the same thinking one

Sad Death of Thomas Stowell

: 7. E. Stowell, one of tie men
employed on the "bull" gang at

He went to his home about five
o'clock in the afternoon and
that vas the last seen of him

of the cabin, the alarm was
given, and Ed Leake, construc-
ton foreman, was one of the
first on the scene. He tried to
get into the house through the
window, but was choked. back
by the flames and smoke. 1t
was rot know that Stowell was
in there at the time; and it was
not learned until the fire had
been extinguished after both
ends of the cabin had been
burned out. The unfortunate

the body was found, the hands

evidently fallen asleep on his

caused by asphyxiation, so that
there was possibly no suffering

The News Suppresser and the
CurbStOne Journalist.
The newspaper is or should
be so devotedly a servant of
the public, that high minded
newspaper men keenly regret
the occasional friction between
1.-THE two.
The charge is frequently
made against newspaper work
ers, that they are given to
printing news on the authority
of mere street rumor.
Newspaper men of that type
are frequently referred to as
"curbstone journalists" who,
without veritication, transfer
the floating and irresponsible
gossip Of the street loafers into
the white light of the public
prints.
On the other hand, many
struggling young men, striving
to make an honest Living in
the profoundly signifc Mt call.
ing of newspaper work, are ir.
ritated beyond patience, by the
morbid constituencies shown by
many people to the use of their
names in print.
4 Many people announce their
plans often suitable for publ.
cation, all over the town to their
p ersonal friends tell other peoE
IL far and wide. But when the
newspaper man does essentially
the same thing that 7, these
friends have been doing, only
|, in a more reserved and accurate
way, they fly into a passion
about the invasion of privacy
by the prying reporter.
Keenly as the honest news
paper man desires accurate
news, there is everywhere
tendency for the news, suppress

ournalist.

have broken out afresh along the

the rebel commander who came up
on six federals unexpected was shot in

himself Jack Mosby. The other three

rebels were attacked by some federals
who came to their aid. The latest re-

at Tia Juana to attack them.

Rappaport Makes Statement.
SEEKS TO DISMISS
MABEL Warner Case

There was another development in
the famous, Mabel Warner case this
morn ng which may prevent its ter
mination at the present session of the
supreme court. Attorney D. w. Bal
ley this morning filed with Deputy
Clerk Moorhouse a motion to dismiss
the appeal which Attorneys Fee, Sla-
ter and Steiwer, representing the heirs
of James Young, deceased, made from
the decree of Judge Bean in favor of
Mabel Warner.
Attorney Bailey bases his motion
on two points. First he alleges that
the notice of appeal does not suffi-
ciently describe the decree appealed
from or any decree upon which ap-
peal is sought to be taken and second
that said notice of appeal is not sign
the decree was rendered inasmuch
the decree was rendered in asmuch
as Caroline Phillips, one of the par
ties was dead before the appeal was
taken and that no substitution has
been made.
The motion is accompanied by affi-
davits, one of which is from Mabel
Warner, to the effect that Caroline
Phillips was dead before the appeal
was taken. The court will probably
pass upon the motion tomorrow.

YOUNG LADY SEEKS
ADMISSION TO BAR

The unusual case of a young lady
seeking admission to the practice of
law came to the notice of the supreme
court yesterday in this city. Miss
Wayfe Hackett, stenographer to At
torney Jay Bowerman of Condor. was
the young lady in question and she
looks to be scarcely out of her teens.
Her examination was made by AS
sociate Justice Moore but it has not
yet been announced whether or not
she was successful in her efforts to
gain entrance into a field which is
almost monopolized by men.
There are six other applicants for
admission to the bar and these are
being given a rigorous examination by
the committee consisting of stephen
A. Lowell. Sam Van Vactor and C. 4.
Cochran. The applicants are c. P.
Judge of Portland, George E. Allen
of Sumpter. Harold H. clifford of
Baker, w. T. Miller OF Wallowa, Rob-
ert Service of Baker and w. j. Grif-
fen of Wallowa. Argalus w. Gray of
Stanfield is seeking admission to prac-
tice on certificate from North Da-
kota.
! A number of cases have come up
before the supreme court today. The
Union county case of the state of Ore
gon VS.. Dell Kennedy ct al, and the
Grant county case Of William Hanley
company VS.. ]. d, Combs were con-
tinued for the term.
The Union county case of Anna Oh
iver VS.. Fred Synhorst was argued and
submitted as were the cases of State
of Oregon VS.. p. d. Mcdonald and
the o. r. & n. company VS.. Coolidge
from the same county and the Wal
Iowa county case of the state of Ore
gon VS.. II. T. Schleur.
The court yesterday made a new
ruling to the effect that no case would

briefs were not filed. Heretofore, at
tornoys have been permitted to ar
sue their case and file their briefs af-
terward This ruling will probably
affect several of the cases pending.

W. G. T.. PRUITT Is NEW
DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Steiwer Forced TO Give up Position by
Demands of Private Practice-Has
Been Capable Officer-New Deputy
is Well Known Man of County.

Deputy District Attorney Frederick
Steiwer is deputy district attorney no
longer and that title is now worn by
w. c. E. Pruitt. Mr.. Steiwer resign
ed the office last night ami while his
resignation was being written out
District Attorney Van vactor was pre-
pairing the appointment of Mr. Pruitt
The news of this change in deputies
comes as surprise to the public but
Mr.. Steiwer has been contemplating
the step he has just taken for some
time inasncch as his private practice
demands all of his time and energies.
He signified his desire to District At
torney Van Vactor some time ago but
was induced to remain in office for a
while longer. Mr.. Steiwer has held
the position for three years, having
been appointed by Judge G. w. Phelps
who was then district attorney Upon
Mr.. Phelps appointment to the cir
cult judgeship and the appointment,
of S. S. Van Vactor of Heppner, dist
rict attorney, he was retained as dep
uty. During his incumbency he has
proven himself a capable attorney and
an able prosecuting officer.
w. C. E. Pruitt, who succeeds Mr..
Steiwer. is well known all over the
county, having been engaged in public
work for a number of years For the
past two years he has been assisting
in the county clerks office but prior
to that time was engaged in the prac-
tice of law in this city. Before his
admission to the bar, Mr.. Pruitt was
newspaper man of wide experience,
having at different times been on the
staff of the Portland Telegram, city
editor of the Pendleton Tribune and
editor and half owner of the Baker
City Herald. Mr.. Pruitt is both ener-
getic and capable and should fill his
new position with credit to himself
and TO the man who selected him.
For the next few days Deputy Dist
rict Attorney Pruitt will have his Of
fices with Raley & Raley, but will
soon move into an office of his own.
