We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that gave
all the local happenings. 1t is often
that some one comes or goes that
the reporter does not see It hap-
pens that the same family is MISS
ed several times. They get the im-
preston that the editor does not
care to mention them. This is a
mistake. In most country towns
the local work is the hardest work
connected with a newspaper. A
man be good editorial writer and
a flat failures in the local work or
vice versa. Editorial material is
obtained by study. by reading news
papers and sometimes by using scis-
sors. Personal and local happen
ines cannot be read and clipped
from other papers, not by a jugful.
1t takes physical as we'll as mental
exertlon to get one column of local
news in a town this size. Most
people like the local happening. Do
not be afraid to tell the editor that
you have friends visiting you. There
are lots of people interested in your
friends. You owe it as a duty to
them to let your friends know OF
your doings. Perhaps you think
the paper shows Partially, but just
see if the paper doesn't treat you
right if you give it a chance-Ex.

Re-eIect Stone Says Bryan.

"a
Senator William J. Stone of Mi
souri, has been nominated by the
democrats at the recent state pri-
mary for a third election by a ma
jority over both his opponents of
about 10000 and by plurality of
about 10000 Up to March, 1918,
the democratic party was in the
minority in the senate. During his
service us a minority member
Senator Stones work .inssopposing
Objectionable measures urged by re-
publicans. and in striving in the
interest of the people for construc-
tive legislation along democratic
lines, won for himself an enviable
position in the. esteem and conf
dence of his colleagues in the SEN
ate and of his constituents in Mis-
souri, Since the incoming of Pres
ident Wilson's administration, Sena-
tor Stone has at all times been the
loyal friend of the administration
and has rendered valuable services
in pushing forward .sthe great con-
structive work accomplished during
this period. He is at the head of
the great committee on foreign re-
lations, and ranks next to the chair
man of the committee on finance
these being two of the most i'm
portant and powerful committees
of the senate-and he is also a
member of several other important
committees primarily charged with
the consideration of legislation of
high moment to tnescountry. There
should be no doubt about his re-
election. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance that democratic MAORI
ty should be maintained in both
houses of congress, for ifthat should
not be so it would make it impossi-
BILE for the president and congress
to move on independently and un-
hampered IN the great constructive
work still remaining to be done.
But even though both houses re-
main democratic. the defeat of the
senator from Missouri would still
be distinct loss. This is a time
when the country stands in especial
need of the counsel and service of
experienced and we'll tried public
servants, like the senator from Mis-
souri,. Let every democrat in Mis-
souri, make it his business to ensure
the reelection Of Senator Stone.

DRUG HOUSE ENJOINEO
BY FEDERAL COURT

Judge Jeremiah Neterer. OF the
United States district court, to-day
granted a permanent injunction In be-
half Of the Centaur Company OF New
York, the manufacturers OF F1etcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart q
Holmes Drug Company OF this city.
The controversy arose from the sim
ulating OF the labels OF this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu. and was traced 10
its origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one OF
the oldest and largest concerns OF It's
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with Il an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
recall the goods which are on the mar.
ket under the infringing label. and 10
pay all costs in the suit and damages
assessed at s4O0.-Seattle. Wash.

whose hostility TO him on the bench

The incidents attendant on this dis
agreement were at times ludicrous In
the extreme. One day, when il was
known that Curran was TO make an
elaborate statement in chancery, Lord
Glare brought a large Newfoundland
dog upon the bench with him, and
during the progress of the argument
he lent his ear much more TO the dog
than to the barrister. This was OBJ.
