Being human the Equal Suffrage
League has started out by making
mistake.
In order to get a campaign fund
the good women have signed a con-
tract with Hearst to publish a suf-
frage edition of the Examiner on
August 4. The women are to get the
circulation and advertising receipts
for that day and Hearst gets the ad.
veTtising this scheme brings, the cir
culatiOn and the gratitude Of some of
the women.
Unfortunately, however, officers of
the Equal Suffrage League will have
to get along on that day without the
aid of the workingwOmen members
Of the WOmen's Trades Union
League, for the Hearst papers are on
the unfair list of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor and none of the suffra-
gists who belong to union labor will
write for the Examiner, peddle it on
the streets or otherwise do anything
to boost the Hearst game on Aug
ust 4.
Representatives of the labor
unions have called on Mrs. Grace
Trout and Mrs. AntOinette Funk of
the Equal Suffrage League and ask
ed them not to start the woman's
movement off by playing HeaTst's
political game. They were told that
Hearst was trying to grab the
woman's vote just as he grabbed the
union labor vote when he first came
to tOwn-and later threw labor down.
Organized labor has been for
wOman's suffrage and helped it all
they could, while the Hearst poll
ticians in the legislature were against
it. Now they feel that the suffragist
leaders are selling the wOman's birth
right for a mess of pOttage when
they boost a Hearst paper for what
money there may be in it. for the
suffrage organization.

JUDGE W. c. MOVES
 RESIGNS OFFICE

 Family

Washington, June 6-President VII son has accepted the resignation of Walter c. Moves. one of the judges of the second judicial circuit, compris- ing the states of Vermont, Connectf- cut and New York.

My outside income is not sufficient to bring the total to an amount commensurate to the needs of my family. I have thoroughly en- loved the six years tenure of the po- satfsfac ctory with which a member of the legal calling can be honored and I leave it only because necessity com peIs me to do so.
 f'I shall hereafter devote my time to private practice and I expect to open an office in New York this sum ner.''

GRANTS PASS CANNED
APPLES IN DEMAND

The Josephine Growers Association
has received an order for 1000 cases
or more of canned apples, and 1t is
expected that the cannery will be
started up to make run on apples
and TO nil the order. These 1000
cases will make five full carloads, and
the price offered is such that the
growers will be able to net good fig-
ure for apples that would otherwise
prove of little value. For Gamers
the fruit need not necessarily be OF
good packing quality, and in fact
none of the best quality is canned.
Heretofore there has been no market
locally for the culls, so that this order
will open the way to an added profit
to the orchardist. The management
OF the cannery says that the price Of
fered for the canned fruit will per-
NIT a return TO the grower OF $40 per
ton. and that If there is assurance
that the apples will be forthcoming
for canning that the cannery will be
started up at once.

AT HOLLAND
MAS GREAT EVENT

Holland was put on the map in
great big letters Saturday when the
village entertained 500 visitors at
the first big Wild West show held in
southern Oregon. Twenty-Five auto
mobile loads OF people went out from
Grants Pass to accept the entertain
ment offered by their neighbors, and
all returned filled with enthusiasm.
In the morning there was the stock
parade, followed at noon by the feast
at which the barbeeued steer was the
piece de resistance, the steer being
done to a turn, and with the trim
mings OF beans, cake, salads, coffee
etc. made a sumptuous banquet sup
piled TO all comers free OF charge.
The afternoon program included
all the Wild West events on the cal
endar, Allie Lewis winning in the
bucking mule contest, as, he did also
in the riding of the outlaw horses,
thus establishing his title as cham
pion OF the roundup. Bert McKin-
non won the steer bull-dogging con-
test, and Gus Clemens, a 12-year-old
boy, gave an exhibition ride on
bucking steer. There were also rae
ing and roping contests, till Holland
looked like the real three-ring circus.
One Of the features OF the day
was the gathering together of the old
time prospectors from the Rogue hills
and Charles Bow, the venerable old
Chinaman who has followed the lure
Of the gold in the mountains west OF
Holland since 1859, added to the pic
turesdueness OF the occasion.
The Holland Roundup has come to
stay. They'll all be there next year.

DECISION REGARDING
HANDLING OF INSANE

Tacoma, Oct. 21.-One of the most
sweeping court decisions affecting the
handling of insane patients in state
institutions was rendered by Superior
Judge Chapman here today when he
ruled in the case of H. p. Emery
stage manager of Portland thea
ter, against Andrew Littlejohn and
wife and DR.. A. P. Calhoun, superin-
tendent of the hospital for the insane
at Steilacoom. The court held in
ruling on pertinent point in the
case that superintendents or Others
in charge of state asylums had no
legal right to parole patients with
out first obtaining court order. DR..
Calhoun had been made party to the
suit for $4,000 damages claimed by
Emery as a result of having been
shot and wounded by o. w. Pence,
insane son of Mrs Littlejohn He
alleged that Pence had been released
from the asylum while he was a dan
gerous person to be at large and DR.,
Calhoun was made equally respon.
sble with the parents.
Tho ruling, If sustained by the su-
preme court Of the state, will mean
tina, an average of one patient day
must he taken into court to be ad.
irdeod as to ftress for parole. and
that he state will have to expend
about $4,000 a year for the purpose.
If DR.. Calhoun we're to interpret
the order of the court strictly, he
said, he would not be able to allow
several hundred patients liberty OF
the grounds, and would even have
to secure a court order to have a pa
tient milk COW.
Among those who testified at the
rial today were DR.. r. e. Lee Stein
er, superintendent OF the Oregon In
sane asylum at Salem, and DR..
Charles z. Doherty, superintendent
of the asylum at New Westminster,
p. c. They testified that Pence was
safe to be at large when released
from he asylum.
