 In order to be a violation of the Mann act the girls must have been taken from California to Nevada for immoral purposes, whereas, if they left merely for pleasure trip and later the men secured the consent of the girls to go to the hotel and register as man and wife the state law must apply, said the judge.
 The decision is a body blow to the government, as they will Joe unable to prove the intent, but claim they can easily dem- Onstrate the fact.

VALDEZ ROUTE
 |S THE BEST
So States John Hanson, Who Will Leave in a Few Days for
 the Now Dggings.

John Hanson, formerly con- nected with the Valdez Mercan- tile company, was an arrival on the MaripOsa en route to the Shushana, having been tele- graphed for by his partner, Carl Whitman, who has spent several years in the White river section prospecting, leaving each spring from Gulkaa and going in via the upper Copper river.
 AS no shipments of horses could be brought north on the Maripo- sa because of the heavy freight cargo to Southeastern Alaska, MT. Hanson was unable to bring stock with him and he will await the arrival of the Northwestern on which will be two horses, which will be used to pack in a small outfit into the new coun- try.
 Mr. Hanson is familiar with the many routes into the scene of the new strike and will go via the government road to Gulkana, thence up the Copper to it's head and drop across the divide into TanaLa river, of which the Shu- shana is a branch.
 In time, says Mr. Hanson, the other prospectors will find that the best route to the Shushana is via Valdez and up the Copper, but they are anxious to make fast time and are headed for McCar- ty and will go in over the gla- cier, but are sure to encounter many storms on the Scolai gla- cier, which blocks the pass, and may be delayed for days at time, while on the Valdez-Copper route no divides of any cOnse- :quence are encountered. no bad streams except those bridged by the commission and good feed can be secured all along the route for stock.
 Mr. Hanson and Sam Nelson, the latter is with the stock on the Northwestern, will leave inn mediately on the arrival of the boat.

Washington, D. C., Aug. s. It is generally believed here in official circles that Provisional President Huerta is only bluf- fling when he stated that he would not receive Governor Lind, the special representative of the president, who has been sent to Mexico City.
 It is pointed out by some that the president is in a position to greatly aid the rebels should he so decde and could allow the shipments of arms from the Un- ited States to the rebels, who are plentifully supplied with money.

Washington, D. G., Aug. B. Senator Borah today charged the Department of Justice, under At torney General McReynolds with having started investigations of federal judges in order to put the fear of God in them and force them to give decisions in favor of the department.

FLASH THE GOODS 0N G0v. SULzER
Investigating Committee Sec Check for $500 Given Him
 For Campaign.

New York, Aug. 8.--The spe- cial legislative committee in vestigating the charges against Governor Sulzer were surprised today whe check for $500.0O, given to Governor Sulzer, then congressman, for campaign pur- poses, was shown in evidence, endorsed by Governor Sulzer.
 A careful examination of the sworn statement filed under the law by the governor, or nrs campaign expenses, failed to show the item of $500 from the Wall street operator.
 The enemies of the governor claim they will prove that he promised to sign certain labor legislation in return Tor support from the unions; that he receiv- ed many other checks which he failed to report; that he was guilty of unprofessional conduct in the handling of will case for a widow some years ago and that he tried to hold her up for a S1O,OOO fee for work worth few huidreds and then very poorly done and that the judge and prosecuting attorney recOm- mended his disbarrment at that time, but that no action was talk on and they also assert that a still greater sensation will be sprung before the investigation is completed.
 Governor Sulzer denied having attempted to conceal the contri- button from his Wall street friend, but that it was overlook ed in making his report, as he did not keep books on his cam paign expenses.
 It $ now almost certain that the governor will be impeached and may be driven from his office in disgrace.

Washington, D. c., Aug. s. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, made a severe attack on the Dem ocratic tariff measure today when the schedule to lower the rate on manufactured car wheels was un- der discussion. The present tar if will ruin the foreign trade of the United States instead of reg ulating it, averred the senator.
 The large foreign trade built up by the manufacturers of America employing thousands and thousands of we'll paid Amer ican laborers, will be lost forever under the low rates on the pres ent tariff, said Senator Warren.

Exercising Rights

Every man has a right to take a
paper, or stop it for any reason of
for no reason at all. But at thcsainc
time there is a certain responsibility
attached to all actions. even so trivial
as stopping paper because the editor
says something one doesn't agree
with. There is a complaint that
editors lack fcarlcssncss and honesty,
that newspapers are too generally
mere partisan organs that disregard
the claims of truth and justice when
political interests are at stake. There
is too much truth in the charge But
let us ask how it is possible for n
fearless, honest, outspokcn journal
to live if every man is to cry out
stop my paper" whenever he reads
something that does not accord with
his views! The men that insist that
the paper thw read shall never say
anything contrary to their views are
the ones who are, in laryr measure,
responsible for the craven cOwardli-
hess add the weather cock proprnsi-
ties of modern journalism. Ina
community composed entirely of these
stop my paper" people, true indie
pendent journalism would be- an i'm
possibility. When you are convinced
that paper is dishonest and deceit
full, stop it. When convinced that it
is unclean, stop it, When it lacks
enterprise and fails to give you news,
stop it, But don't stop paper that
you believe to b. honest ,enlcrprising
clean and courageous, simply because
the editor has written his own sin
ccrc views instead of pours or some
other persons; for if you do you are
putting premium on insinccrr journ-
alsm and serving notice on an edit
or that the way to succeed is to write
what he thinks will please his read
ers instead of what he thinks is hon
cstly the truth.

The farmers of Willapa harbor and
the grocerymcn of Raymond met a
few days since and arranged plans
to the effect that all the products
of farms would find ready sale.

would dispose of on certain days and
the farmers selling direct to the pco-
pie of the city. going from house to
house on certain other days of the
week, thus cnsuring fresh and crisp
vegetables, fruits, etc, every day.
That's the kind of co-opcrat ton that
ought to exist everywhere. There's
no reason why the merchants of any
city or town should ship in vegetables
and refuse to buy the products of
the home gardener. The farmer who
offers his products to the home mer-
chant may not always have it put
up in proper style, but with a little
instruction from his merchant, can
soon do the job up brown. OF course
there comes times when the merchant
might find it difficult to handle all
the products of the farm and garden
at home, but if it be handled cor
rectly, he might be able to ship it
to the city and dispose of it, and it
would be profitable, too, even if he
got only cost out of it, as it would
cement the ties of friendship between
the merchants of the town and the
farmers of the valley and would even
