Oats showed a disposition to follow

SHOOTING UP THE EDITOR

Newspaper writer's sometimes re-
mark, in hasty generalization, that a
Tree press lies at the foundation Of
successful civil government. Yet prqb
ably in Mexico today, the editors 9z
press their opinions with much free
dom. But they must be prepared to
back that freedom by quick resource
to the hip pocket
Not merely free speech is needed,
but the spirit of tolerance Of free
speech. Anloeditor has the right to
esriticise thosss who differ from him
personally in public matters. Also
ne has rightBtp attack the character
Of his antagonists, provided he is con-
vinced that he tells the truth, and is
prepared to submit the justice Of his
statements to the courts.
The killing Of the editor of famous
Partisan newspaper is not necessarily
an Indictment of the whole French
people. Similar cases occur with
some regularity in this country. For
tunately they grow more rare.
The larger peoples minds grow, the
Jess keenly they take personal contro-
versy. The city councilman will cut
3 rival on the street for life time
ER6sanwhile the great antagonists OF
the United States senate hurl their
defiances at each other with Qlym-
plan thunders. Afterward they ad-
5ourn to the restaurant, while their
friendship is repaired, and differences
are tolerated.
So it ought to be in newspaper con-
4roversy. Few editors put bitter per
ssHsi feeling itno 1t. It Is their trade
TO express points Of view. They
would be false to the people that hire
ehem did they fail in SO doing.
When ! man shoots UP Or tries e
lick" the editor be hurts the Place
where he lives It gives the rest Of
the world the impression that the

TO APPRAlsE LINGERIE

Chicago, March 27.-Eight club wom-
en-, politicians, were appointed and
sworn in today as deputy assessors
by Frank w. Koralesli, secretary Of
the board Of assessors, as further
recognition of the woman's movement.
He says that the employment Of WON
en- in this capacity is the first expert
ment of its kind in the country.
While the women assessors will work
in the same manner as the men, they
are expected to pay particular atten-
tion to personal property holdings Of
women. They win ask the women if
they have personal checking accounts.
what stocks and bonds they hold in
their own name and the cost of furs,
silk and lingerie they have imported.
The women will receive a salary of
$4 a day and Koralesh says he be-
lieYes their work will bring added re-
venues that will easily oyershadow the
expense imposed on the government
by the suffrage extension
"The appointment Of the women was
brought about by the women them
selves. Prominent women have call
ed since the woman's suffrage law
went into effect. asserted women want
ed to become. taxpayers and argued
that to bring that about women should
have some part in the taxing" said
"They win be assigned to districts
where their work win be the most eff
fective and least pleasant
TN the few days we have discussed
the woman deputy question, a dozen
new ideas in assessing have develop
ed. believe women will prove to be
our most ingenious deputies. One Of
them has already made a suggestion
new to me. She said that
many Chicago women have their pri-
vate checking accounts, hold stocks
and bonds III their own name. and
possess wardrobes representing more
money than has been charged to their
husbands In the past she wanted to
know why women who import rich
furs, silks and lingerie, which to the
ordinary man would be worth for
tune, shouldn't pay taxas

BUSINESS PARTNERS
AIR TROUBLES IN COURT
John Horning Causes Arrest of Roy
c. Leuty and A. Stivers on AS
sault and Battery Charge

With his eye as black as the ace
of spades, John Horning on Tuesday
morning caused the arrest of Roy G.
Leuty and A. Stivers, his partners in
the Pullman Smithing company, on
a charge of assault and battery, al
leging that Leuty and Stivers were
responsible for the discolored optic
as we'll as for the feeling of deep cha
grin which he experienced at being
elected from his own place of bust
ness. Horning alleged that on Tues
day morning he visited the concern
in which the three men have been
partners for several months and
stated that he was going to work.
A dispute followed, and Horning al
leges that Stivers held him while
Leuty applied his fists with consid-
cradle force.
The two defendants were taken
before Justice Henry Tuesday after
noon and asked for and were grant
eG a change of venue to the court OF
Justice Swain. The case was called
yesterday morning, with d. c. Dow
and Prosecuting Attorney r. M.
Burgunder appearing for the plain
tiff and Attorney John w. Mathews
representing the two defendants.
Both defendants entered pleas of not
guilty, but after the testimony had
been taken were adjudged guilty by
Justice Swain and each defendant
was assessed a fine of 81, together
with the costs in the case. The de-
PENDANTS will appeal the case to the
superior court.
The trouble is thought to be the
outgrowth of misunderstanding
which have existed between the
members of the firm for some time,
and Horning alleges that his two
partners have been attempting to
force him to sale of his interest IN
the concern at a fraction of its
worth. He states that following the
trouble of Tuesday morning Leuty
and Stivery locked the doors OF the
establishment and refused him ad-
mittance.

GOOD EGG PRODUCERS

On February list, 1918, a hatch
ing of Barred Plymouth Rocks was
taken from the incubators of the
State College poultry plant, and on
the 18th of last September, a mating
of 13 of the best of these was select
ed, and put in a separate pen. In
December, 1913, this pen of thirteen
averaged So per cent layers. The
other Barred Rocks, of the same
Matching and parent stock, with the
same care and feed, which were not
selected, averaged during the sam e
month five per cent layers. The
selected birds were not trap-nested,
but were judged on the basis of early
development, length of back, full
ness of breast, vigor, and similar
easily noted points. The later ma
turing fowls as present, however
are coming into laying, and bid fair,
in the present month of February, to
exceed the earlier developing Rocks,
but have missed, with their egg pro-
duction, the high winter market for
eggs.

Loss ADJUSTED;
NEW STOCK HERE
Emerson Mercantile Co. Has Made a
Record for Rapid Recovery From
Fire

The loss on the stock of the Elmer
son Mercantile Co. caused by the
fire last week, has been fully and
satisfactorily adjusted, practically
all of the damaged goods have been
sold or hauled away, a brand new
spring stock has been received, and
the big store is running as smoothly
as if nothing had happened. To &C
complish all this took strenuous
work and lots of it.
The adjustment of the loss was
facilitated by the 80 per cent clause,
which the company has incorpor-
ated in its policies. The invoices
of the goods destroyed showed their
value and the insurance companies
were pledged to pay so per cent of
that value. On goods damaged, but
not ruined, the adjusters easily came
to an agreement, as both sides
showed a disposition to be fair. The
damaged goods were placed on sale
Saturday and during the early part
or this week and went off like hot
cakes.
The morning after the fire tele-
grams were sent to the wholesale
houses in the east to duplicate the
orders for spring goods which had
been damaged, and so prompt was
the response that within six days the
new stock had begun to arrive. Bids
for repairing the damage to the
building have been submitted and
the contract will be let and the work
started before the end of this week.

PULLMAN Will HAVE BEST WATER
SYSTEM IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Bonds in NeighbOrhood of $4,000 will be IS
sued to Provide for Needed Additions and
Improvements=--VOtei is 234 to lis

By vote of 234 to lis the citi-
zens of Pullman last Tuesday author
lied the city council to float bonds
in a sum not exceeding $4,000 for
extensive improvements and addi-
lions to the municipal water system.
Under the state law a majority of
three-fifths is necessary to provide
for the issuing of bonds by a mu-
nicipality, and while the real major
ity in favor of the bond issue was
119, the legal majority was only "a.
Only $40 citizens availed themselves
of the opportunity to vote their opin-
ion on the important issue, the small
vote probably being due to inclem-
ent weather of Tuesday, a steady
rain falling all day. Over 500 vot-
ers were registered for the special
election.
The vote by wards was as follows
