IMPORTANT CHANGE
DIVISION POINTS TO BE CHANGED
ON SHORT LINE.

That Glenns Ferry and Huntington
are to be abandoned as division points
on the Oregon Short Line and that
Ontario Is to be the MAIN division
point west of Nampa, while Mountain
Home and Shoshone will be the two
division points between the junction
city and PocateLo, is the news brou-
ght by d. Fl. Moseley, who has Just
returned from far eastern trip with
a car of thoroughbred cattle. While
ON the Short Line MIR. Moseley heard
the gossip of the change i'm division
points and found that it was made nee
essary because of the action of the
interstate commerce commission i'm
rulihg that railroad crews shall not
work over 16 hours. With the heavy
trains the long runs between divisions
cannot be made in the time prescrib-
ed, states Mr.. Moseley, and freight
trains loaded with livestock and per
lshable goods are Obliged to take
sidlng when their time lis up and re-
main there until relieved by fresh
crews from the nearest division point
thus causing long delays, extra ex-
pense and inconvenience which must
be remedied and which lis to be done
by establishing the extra division
point at Shoshone and dividing up the
distance SO that the nun can be made
by the big freighters in the time al
lowed by law.--Capital News.

THE LOS ANGELES EXPOSURE.

The Mcnamara trials have passed into history
and the public has more concern with them
than with other ordinary convicts But, aside
from whatever further Investigation may dis
close as to the extent of the conspiracy and
the names Of those engaged in it, some things
stand ont boldly The national organization Of
at least labor union has been deliberately
setting aside a fund alleged to be $1,000 month
for dynamiting.
And in addition to that. after some of those
engaged in dynamiting had been arrested all the
important leaders of organized labor declared
with on voice that it was frame up'-mean-
ing by that that miScrcantS had been employed
by organized employers TO falsely accuse union
men Of dynamitng and murder in order to dis
credit uniOnism.
And some Of those who raised this cry knew
of the guilt of the accused.
Immediately following that union men
throughout the country We're urged to contribute
to defense fund, and it is said that about
S4OOOOO was contributed from the hard-earned
wages of honest labor for the defense of men
whom at least some Of those who solicited the
money absolutely knew to be guilty
And Of this money certainly used

were paid III great fecs-to lawyers, to one man.

alleged to have received this enormous fee de

And We submit to union men whose rontribu-
tions paid those bills that lawyers who de

working men estoppcd from claiming that
they took the ease for the love Of labor or the

The rank and file of organized labor must

THE CALL-DOWN OF STEFFENs.

District Attorney FrrdericlS cwtly diSpoSes
of Lincoln SetfenS by saying he had nothing
whatever to do with brng ing the Mcnamara
to an abrupt and sensational finish, Stetfens has
announced that he arranged the whole thing. Ac
cortng to his statement, he figured out the solu-
ton of the problem, induced the district attorney
and Clarence $. DarroW to agree to the terms
Of compromise which he arranged and in
short managed the whole business from start
to finish
But district Attorney Fredericlls has IA diff
ferent story to tell He says Stefens didn't fig
ure in the arrangement for the McNamaras to
plead guilty at all. and not taken into
anybody's confidence taken seriously
In brief, the district attorney gives the pub
lie to understand that Stetfcns is gasconadng
around telling ridiculous stories about the
apocryphal part he played in the affair, merely to
gain notoriety for himself.
Thus fades another illusion. The busy world
had forgotten the very existence Of Lincoln Stef-
fens; there few who knew he in Los
| Angeles and none with any idea that he
| the directing spirit in the Mcnamara case. Sud
| denly the McNamaras pleaded guilty wbereupon
Steffens rushed out and said: Il did it; I'm
| the man that arranged this whole business and
| fixed the punishment that should be infiicted.'
People stood open-mouthed at this decara
| ton. They were dazed to learn that Lincoln
| Setfens had settled the without consulting
! Judge Walter BordWell or doing anything more
! than tell District Attorney Frcdericis and Clar-
ence 5. Darrow that they must get together on
Il basis that the astutc and entcrprisng Steifcns
| had figured out for them. 1t all seemed so odd.
| 'Whcn did Steffens get into the case?" people
asked. 'What business had he to NEEDLE with it,
anyhow" ''Who authorized him to compound
felonies and give orders to the judge and the
district Attorney"
Such were the questions banded about, but
| Stcfens didn't stop to answer them-he was too
busy telling what he had done and how he did it.
! He blew the trumpet of his fame till the
echoes reverberated from Shasta to Shatemuc,
from Buzzards Roost to Buzzard's bay
But now comes District Attorney Frederick
and spols the whole story He brands Steffens
as sort Of Windy Jacobs, a miracle-worker,
with his jaw only-which knocks the stuffng
out Of Steffens It's really too bad. Stelfens
should not have been mterfered with The ira
gedy needed touch Of farce. and Stcifens was
supplying it, He was the boob of the show
He was eevatmg himself to the pinnacle of fame
by the tip Of his tongue, covering himself with
glory by plastering himself with his own saliva
1t cruelty to animals to call him down.

LOOKING WISE.

The owl will not be the symbol of wisdom
much longer, and the with the expression
less face and the vacant eyes will soon be I'M
able to win the assumption OF great mental
depth on the strength Of these assets Dr. Nj. vi
q Shea of the University of Wisconsin, author of
an address on Efficiency Of Expression has
demonstrated that the man with the wooden
face is about stupid he loOlS-sOmetmes
IA trfe more So According to the Wisconsin
sage, lack Of expression merely signifies that
there is nothing to express.
Throughout the centuries many men have AT
tanned the reputation Of possessing hidden depths
Of wisdom by adopting the simple eXpedent OF
looking WISE which means that they made
their features nearly blank possible. The
expression which goes with wisdom, as the world
has been regardig it, is the total absence OF any
expression.
This is shown by the fact that the owl is
supposed to be wise looking bird. The truth
is that the owl is the simplest picture OF stupidity
that can be conceived There is no doubt that
if the truth had been known, many persons who
passed wise on the strength OF their reSem-
bance to the owl every bit as stupid as
that bird.
Another reason why the owls reputation for
sagacity has been boosted is that the bird has
been very cautious in the matter Of conversa
ton. The sum and substance Of the owl re
marks are all in the solemn, " WHO'D. WHO'D
whoo" Now this does not mean anything which
is probably the reason why the remark is sup
posed to hint at something too deep for the
superficial to comprehend The cry of the owl is
given great significance Of mysterious sort OF
the same principle that causes people to look fol
symbolism in plays and novels where there is ne
symbolism. The same method Of procedure made
the owl the symbol Of wisdom and kept him il
that place for centuries.
Passing the hand through the hair in an alb
stracted fashion is another custom which DIR
Q Shea maintains denotes stupidity instead of in
teectuaty. "They tryig to agitatc tn
brain cells when they do it, says the doctor
Unfortunately, they cannot scratch deep enough
to do that.
Those who cannot muster the blank expression
which has been supposed to proclaim wisdom
will be pleased with the arguments of Dr. OShea
1t will be unnecessary for them to still furthe
strive to cultivate the expression OF the owl
Those who have the blank expression firmly fro2
en- to their features have consolation TIL
wooden face will still be large asset in playing
the great American game of poker.-S. f, Post

She had looked at the plans OF the

was next asked II she had worn gloves

each other. and must unite our des-
