7 HAVE tried to convince you that there is
in the practice of law an element of TO-
nance and mystery that the public seldom
senses. 1t is the kindly profession of COM
forting in secret those who grieve, of saving
pride from needless humiliation, and of
strengthening the weak. But what l want
to emphasize is the greatness of the work,
the answering consciousness of your
lawyers. They have you at their mercy be-
cause they possess your secrets They may
impoverish you because, if they desired,
they could employ turns of litigation that
would keep you almost indefinitely in the
courts. But the life of each reputable lawyer
is the story of integrity, of mercy, and of
condolences unprofaned.
To the young man who is beginning the
study or practice of law, have this to say:
To achieve success, you will have to travel
a steep and thorny path. But the goal will
be worth the trials of the journey. And, as
a result of your labors you will be convinced
that your profession has no superior in the
activities of men for promoting peace and
furthering the happiness of the world. There
are in the law, as in other walks of life, un-
worthy men; but they are speedily OBJ
scured and despised. And your profession
is so high that it cannot be debased by evil
individuals

Roosevelt contests were institut-
ed? Will they have reason to
doubt that had these contests
succeeded Theodore Roosevelt
would have accepted a nomina-
ton made possible through them?
And should not he who appeals
to the court of the people, charg-
ing another man with being the
holder of stolen goods, come with
clean hands?
So long as the new party con-
tinues to be a party of protest
merely against another machine,
so long as it's members surrender
their will to the personal direct
ion of one man, just so long will
it fail to become a real voice of
the people. And so long as it
seeks to belittle the striving after
the better things in government
by men not of the republican
tariff household of faith, just
so long will it fail to achieve any,
thing save the separation of the
progressive forces into hostile
camps. and thereby aid in the
perpetuation of legalized robbery
and wrong.
President-elect Wilson pur-
poses to keep the door to his pri-
vate office in the White House
always open to the public, he an
nounced this week.
Governor Wilson said he had
decided to maintain, so far as
possible. the "open door" policy
which he had inaugurated at
Trenton. During his term as
governor he has insisted that the
door to his private Office never be
closed while he is in it.
In his campaign for the presi-
dency he declared that he had
always felt that if the door to his
office were to be closed his con-
nection with the people Of New
Jersey would be severed. The
governor was standing in the
same doorway in the statehouse
in Trenton when interviewed.
Are you going to keep the
open door at Washington, too?"
he was asked.
81 hope so" he replied.
II don't know what the ar
rangements are in the White
House, but | intend to have the
door open as much as possible. "
His idea is that the executive
of a state or a nation should have
no locked door" conferences, or
transact any business in his pri-
vate office that the public could
not actually see if it cared to.

governor" he said, II was sur
prised at the number of people
who wanted to talk to me behind

Examiner MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning next week, tn e
Kettle Falls Scimitar will be pub
lished in the columns of tn e
Examiner.
w. H. Brooks, the founder and
editor of the Scimitar, has NOV
ed his printing plant from Ket-
tie Falls to Spokane, where he
will operate a job printing shop
at 1906 North Monroe. He has
turned his subscription list, ad-
vertising patronage and job work
over to the Examiner.
The Kettle Falls managers of
the new Scimitar will be N. B.
Wheeler and J. M. Williams. Mr..
Wheeler has lived in Kettle Falls
22 years, and for years has been
the correspondent for the Review
and P.-I. Mr.. Williams is cash.
ier of the Kettle Falls branch of
the Bank of Colville. Both gentle
men have the interests of Kettle
Falls and the Columbia valley at
heart, and will endeaver to con-
tinue the Scimitar for the bene-
fit of that section. They will
have complete charge of the
Kettle Falls department, and will
receive advertising and job work
and make collections for their
department.
All the Scimitar correspondents
will be retained. From one to
two pages of the Examiner will
be devoted to this department.
The Scimitar subscribers will
thus not only receive their own
news as usual, but in addition,
without extra cost, will receive
all the Examiner news, the Of
icial county news and the Soficial
county seat news.
This combination of two news
papers, and the combination of
two subscription lists, will place
the Examiner in the lead among
newspapers in northeast Wash
ington, and give an immense ad-
vantage to advertisers, covering
as it does two distinct sections
of country. It will give the reg
ular Examiner readers a greater
field of reading, and will furnish
the Columbia valley section a
much greater field of publicity.
In addition to this, Meyers
Falls is to have a department of
it's own, conducted by C. O. San
ford of that place. He will be
authorized to handle advertising,
subscription and job work for
his department, and to collect
for the same.
Another new feature of the
Examiner will be a reduction in
the subscription price when paid
in advance. The cash-in, advance
price will be $1.0Oa year. When
not paid in advance, the regular
price will be $1.50 a year. With
the increased subscription list,
it is the intention to gradually
place all subscriptions upon a
cash-in-advance basis, and those
who do not care to pay in ad-
vance may discontinue the paper.
No more booze" is to be al
lowed to white men on Indian
reservations while the luxury"
is denied the Indian, the chief of
the Indian bureau has declared.
The white man on an Indian res
ervation will be denied whiskey
or other alcoholic beverage either
for refreshment or to cure his
ills or as precaution against
ailments, even on a physicians
prescription, as long as the ban
is on the Indian. A recent cir
cular issued by the Indian bu-
reau at Washington, D. c., ad-
dressed to superintendent of In
dian schools and agencies, directs
observance of the law in strict
conformity with it's letter. 1t
also calls attention to Irregular
tiles in observance of the law
that have come to the attention
Of the bureau.

Of those principles for which the

says sadly. that Senator Cummins
did not get his ear nearer to the

race that we. are afraid will prove
disastrous. The writer has been
travelling through the Tenth and
Eleventh districts the past two weeks.
and he must say that he is disap-
pointed in the Cummins sentiment
among the average voters, and usually
a progressive voter at that. There is
no enthusiasm like you would expect
in the case of .favorite son. 1t is
extreme apathy and often open hostil-
ity. The senator had better stay
where he is is an often expressed
sentiment If an open night is made

that the senator's candidacy, instead
of unifying Iowa Republicans, means

that he has taken the advice of fool
