he farewell flight of her aviation
: reer, which Miss Mathilde Moissant
had announced she would make here
this afternoon, came near causing her
death. In landing after her flight Miss
Moissant's machine struck a ridge of
earth just outside the baseball park,
where the flights took place, and
bounced high in the air. 1t came down
right side up with the young woman
still safe in her seat, but the frame
work .crumpIed like a leaf from the
impact. In an instant the wreckage
was ablaze and before the aviatrix
could escape her clothing was on fire.
Help was near at hand and the young
woman was dragged from her periIous
position by Andre Houpert, an aviator.
The blazing clothes were extinguished
before she had sustained serious in
jury. The machine was practically
total loss.

Miss Croker is now in the metrop-

Of independent means. He married
Miss Janet McCook. chum of Miss
Crocker's, in April, 1907, and Miss
Crocker was bridesmaid at the we'd
ding. Mrs Whitman died in New
York, December, 1907, a few days
after the birth of son.
Since Mrs Whitmans death FIVE
years ago Whitman and Miss Croker
have met many times, and with each

has increased. Yet news of the en-

surprise yesterday, and there was
gasp of astonishment as the news

Country Wide Interest
1t was the gossip of the Burlingame
Country club during the evening, and
the talk of society all over the coun-

telephone message and telegram to
Del Monte, Coronado and wherever

Miss Crocker, who was rs years of
age February "a, possesses fortune
estimated at from 100000 to
S12,OO0,O00. In 1905, when she and
her brother, Templeton, divided their
heritage, each received $5,000,00O. In
the seven years since that time the
growth in realty values and the de-
velopment of the estate through the

of the Crocker estate, has doubled it.
While in England during the corona

after American girl among all those
who crossed the Atlantic at that time.

her among those at the pinnacle of
American society.
Former Tennis Champion
Whitman is Harvard graduate,

in 1899 and 1900. Then, not caring to de-
vote so much of his time to the sport.
he relinquished the championship and
set himself to the practice of law.

THE HOG

The hog has been valuable
servant to the farmers of Whitman
county. He has lifted the mortgage
on many a farm. met the taxes many
times when money was hard to raise,
provided the cash for feeding and
clothing many a family and paid for
educating many a boy and girl. 1t
is therefore a move in the right di-
rection for the people Of Pullman to
direct attention to and stimulate in
terest in the industry Of hog raising.
The time has come when the farm
err, who figures the present value OF
his land as the capital invested in his
business, is looking for some more
profitable way of using that capital
than in wheat raising A study OF
the possibilities of hogs may solve

WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

Now that the right of suffrage has
been given to the women of this state
it becomes their duty to vote. One
of the stock arguments against
woman's suffrage is that large per
cent of the women do not wish to
vote. This may be true, but in those
states where the women have been
made voters it becomes the duty of
every woman to participate in the
primaries and elections, even if she
does not regard it as a privilege.
The man who does not take suffi-
cient interest in the welfare of his
county, state and country to assist in
the selection of public officials, is
not regarded as a good citizen, and
the women who assume the same at
titude are Sinking their duty. 1t is
this Indifference to public affairs by
educated and respectable men and
women that makes it possible for the
machine politicians to exercise so
much power The men and women
whom these politicians control are
always at the polls on election day to
oppose candidates who stand for
progress and the eradication of vice.
Women who lament over the corrup-
ton of politics and existing condi-
tions of vice, but refuse to vote are
simply assisting in perpetuating the
conditions which they criticize. The
nation has a right to demand an ex-
preston of the honest judgment of
every voter in the selection of the
men who make, administer and in
terpret it's laws and no patriotic man
or woman will evade that demand

EDITORS SUPPORT NELL

Fully three-fourths of the Whit
man county editors will support
Thos. Neill for reelection as superior
Judge basing their action on the
fact that the judge has been
weighed in the balance and found
not wanting"
In last Fridays issue of the Colfax
Gazette appeared the following state
ment: The announcement last week
of R. L. McCroskey's candidacy for
superior court judge brought forth
more favorable newspaper comment
from all parts of the county than any
other announcement for either coun-
ty, state or national office this year"
At a meeting of the Whitman
County Editorial association, held
the next day Saturday every one of
the nine editors present stated unof-
ficially that he would support Judge
Neill for reelection. Up to the pres
ent time the Colfax Commoner Is the
only Whitman county paper which
has boosted McCroskey for the Of
flee, and in the Gazette's statement
Editor Bramwell pays his contempor-
airy a pretty compliment by placing
the Commoner against at least q of
the remaining Is Whitman county
editors combined, all of whom will
support Judge Neil.
Judge Thos. Neill has given the
county the most economical and eff
ficient administration in its history
and the concensus of opinion is that
he will be returned to office by sub
stantial majority.

PULLMAN FORGING AHEAD

While there has not been any sign
of a boom in Pullman this year, the
city is steadily forging ahead. A
number of fine residences have been
built or are in course of construc-
ton and within a few days work
will begin on paving twenty blocks
of the streets in the residence dis
tricts.
These improvements tend to make
Pullman a desirable home city and
that is the end which all residents
should keep in mind. 1t is not
necessary to labor to make this a
commercial or manufacturing cen
ter. Pullman has other natural adj
yantages. the development of which
will make it the largest and most at
tractive city in Whitman county.

A NATIONAL "BLuE.sKY" Law

The recent success in New York of
raids on get-rich-quick promoters
and loan sharks has aroused new in
terest in what is known as the Blue
Sky law OF Kansas In Kansas the
operations of these PRONE ters have
virtually been eliminated by a law
making it compulsory for all invest
ment companies and their agents og-
Grating in Kansas to file with the sec
rotary of state complete statements
OF their condition. They must do
this before they will be allowed to
offer single security for sale. The
penalty is heavy fine and imprison-
ment The Financial World advo-
Gates national law of this kind, and
in doing so says:
This wise law has already proved
itself invaluable in safeguarding Kan
sas investors, but effective as like
laws would prove in all other states,
| the get-rich-quick shark who goes
after the small and usually inexperi-
enced investor and plumbers him.
still has the mails open to him. lie
may operate in those states where he
can not open offices or employ agents
| to appeal direct to the people, by the
use of the United States mails from
vantage points in states where no
| blue-sky' laws have been enacted.
He may, for example, still flood Kan
sas with his alluring promises of big
dividends and income for life, from
points outside of Kansas, and lure
the savings of his victims to his cof-
fers, Kansas can only warn against
these thieves.
Nothing save a stringent national
'blue-sky" law will be effective to
forever close the mails against the
sale of fake and wildcat securi ties.
1t is true that the postal laws close
tthe mails to swindlers, but this can
be done only after these swindles
have been perpetrated and com
plants lodged with the postal author
tiles in Washington. These postal
laws are not preventive; they are
only punitive. If we had a national
law making it obligatory on com
panies to file full sworn statements
of assets, earnings, capitalization,
etc, with the postoffice department
or separate government bureau and
forbidding, at the same time. sales
of securities without permission from
such department of the government,
the get-rich-quick man could be
wiped out in less than no time, and
if he nevertheless persisted in re-
suming business, he would have then
to take the consequences. IT is up to
the national associations Of our banks
and investment bankers to agitate
for the adoption of such a national
law for the prevention of financial
frauds. The sooner this is done, the
sooner and better will the public be
protected in every part of the coun-
try, The investments of the masses
