Placed in Washington Museum.

Pittsburg, Pa. - At a special meet
ing of the Carnegie hero fund COM
mission action was taken in recogni-
tion of the many acts of heroism in
the wreck of the Titanic. While un-

LOCAL BOY MAKES
GOOD At COLLEGE

State College of Washington, Pull
man, May 6,-Every inch booster,
and decidedly positive factor in all
phases of student activities, Harry M.
Chambers, nephew of Isaac Jay and
grandson of James A. Jay, Pendleton's
lone representative at the state col
lege, has done more in both advanc
ing the fame of his home city and q
high standard of student endeavor at
the college than any other member
of the present junior class. Harry is
fond of "the home town" and his po-
sition of prominence in the student
body gives him amle opportunity to
secure for Pendleton firm place on
the collegiate map of a widely repre-
! sentative enrolment.
! The sterns Medal Debate contest,
| which provides a $50 gold medal, the
highest debate trophy in the institu-
ton, which was held last May, saw
| Harry in the competition, and that he
easily won was no surprise to the stu
dent body. Winning this medal plac-
ed him in line for leader of the de-
batting team this year that went to Sc
attle as opponents of the University
of Washington in the intercollegiate
triangular debate. The team lost or
a two to one decision, but it was NJ
fault of Harry's, He was easily the

NC LAUGHLIN LOSES STAR

There are public affairs that are Of
times private affairs. In the dismissal
of Frank Mclaughlin as special pO-
liceman, there are some, no doubt, who
would prefer to see this matter of
Hinky Dink political jurisprudence (9
shrOuded in privacy.
The question is: Why was Mr.. Nc
Laughiin dismissed so nnceremoniously
Was it solely for the reason that anOth-
er had made application for the place
as special policeman? Ii that had been
true, Mr. Mclaughlin would not have
offered the slightest objection when the
demand was made for his star and other
paraphernalia Of ornamentati0n.
1t was Mr.. NMcLaughlin's first belief
that it was the formaiity of an applica
tion of another that actuated the chief
of police and members Of thepolice com
mission in their change of heart.
But, was itq In all seriousness, was it?
1t transpires that Mr.. Mclaughlin, on
his first night on duty, a week ago Tues
day, displayed the brazen brass OF un-
authorized authority at late hour of
the night to walk right into the back
roomo stall Of one of our saloons to make
the arrest of a woman who was in COM
pany of two men and another woman

A Just Judgment.

The case of the state against Frank
Cloud, the head Of the Quaker Medicine
Co., for violation ola Lake Mills city
ordinance in regard to transient mer-
chants. was decided in circuit court last
week in favor of the defendant. 1t re-
called to mind the statement. that years
ago, jury in district court III YER
mont, brought in a verdict against the
defendant contrary to the law and eyi-
dence. The Judge turned to the court
clerk and said: "Mr. Clerk, you viii en-
ter my order setting aside that verdict.
/ want this Jury to understand that it
lakes 13 men in this state to rob man
of his farm" Judge Grimm seems to be
that kind of a Judge.

true. But don't, misguided friends. try
to shoulder all the blame on the police
men-the subOrdinates, il you please.
Watert0Wn has a mayor. a police and
fire commission, a chief of police and a
city attorney. We presume these city
officials know what is going on in our
city. If they don't, they'd ought to, or
the voters had ought to get busy on the
doubEe-quick and put them on the re-
tired list and elect others who are not
too stupid to "see things" Now pre-
sumo one of our subordinate police. Off
GERS, without authority from those high
er up, demanded and made the arrest
of some sal00nist on a charge Of even
greater magnitude than Stanton was
''called TO account for" Now in such

In some cities, in fact many, suborll-
nate police officers are gifted with au-
| thority to enforce the laws, even il there
is tinge of morality aetuating the pur-
pose. Is this true of Watertown? Study
conditions and find out.

may be merited, but it is unfair at any
rate. The blame should 60 where the

where matrimonial ties resembled more
a ship fender.
Now the Leader is not saying that Mr.
Mclaughlin would be on the force yet
as a special if he had not displayed
this instructive authority that comes to
things" and acts without calling a
meetin'" " and asking permission. But
it is barely probable.
Things do leak out occasionally and
become public property, even in pubic
affairs in WatertOWn, where they should
be "hushed up" to help the heralded
tune that, 'WatertOWn is a model town."
In fact the leak Of publicity is growing.
And it should grow.
Now it might be, and probably is true,
that it was decided that Mr. McLaugh-
lin was not just the stamp of man want
ed on the police force. But, if so, why?
HIS record as a longtime resident of
WatertoWn is not one to be ashamed of.
Quite the contrary.
But Mr.. Mclaughlin is no freak. He
has eyes, unlike those who "have eyes,
yet they see not" Now if a man of his
stamp is not suitable we might show an
philanthrophic spirit by giving the posi-
tions on the force to the unfortunate
blind, who could not see things as they
really exist. Then it would not neces-
saFlly trouble their conscience.

that he was not 'piped." He gives the

Out of Town on a Rail.

1t comes to the Leader that one of the
officials of the city of Watertown. whose
duties are to see that laws are enforced,
is very much wrought up,or in the modern
phraseology, is "hot in the collar" be-
cause of the truisms published in this
paper, more particularly of the last IS
sue The official in question, con trary
to ideals of civic decency and righteous
ness, excludes all official dignity in the
statement that, in his opinion. citl-
zens of Watertown ought to ride the

Think of it, Such a statement coming
from one of our dignified (?) city officials.
Instances are too common for citation
where the press is muZZied against the
gang rule that permits everything and
ANYTHING to pol ute the atmosphere and
disgrace community as long as they
profit by iil-gotten gains. Understand
the position of the Leader right! Any
threats of legal (or lawless) proceedings
will not make an iOta of difference in
the attitude of the Leader, which will
continue in its crusade for decency and
morality. 1t is very evident that Water
town is experiencing an awakening TO
the awful realities that exist, and it Is
high time. It is also quite evident that
we are in the dawn of brighter day
and that to stay this forward movement

belongs the "swatting," and not the
helpless subordinate police officers, who
are precluded from any possible chance,

least if any brilliant records have been
achieved, they've been lost iD the shut

and demands, if necessary, to enforce
the laws and see if there is not a de-
cided change. Don't be too severe with
those who are helpless.

Delight to Drivers

You must experience the feel of that
Cross Country wheel. It's a delight. Think
of the unconscious ease with which you
guide bicycle. It's just that. Your arms
don't tire. Your legs don't cramp. Both
levers are inside and the sound of the motor
just the sweetest hum that turns instantly
into snappy roar when the cut-out is
open.
Silent, long and lean, with swift moving
lines, the Cross Country has grace, sugges-
ton of speed and beauty of contour.
