PROBATION OFFICER rs MAKING
ARRANGEMENT FOR THEIR
MAINTENANCE - FATHER OF
CHILDREN IN JAIL.

A woman on North CaddO street
deserted her five small children yes.
terday and fed the country with an.
other man, according to statement
Of Mrs. Curtis, probation officer this
morning, as she left her office to
make arrangements for the mainten-
ance of the children.
Mrs. Curtis states that the husband
of this woman was in the hands of
the law and in Jail for larceny, and
that the children were in absolute
destitute circumstances. She will
take charge of them and see what
can be done toward securing a home
for them.
The Benevolent Society has had
number of destitute cases to con-
tend with the past winter. Many
families moved to this city after the
explosion with the idea that they
could secure work in rebuilding the
town. A majority Of them were un-
skilled and when they arrived they
found that local mechanics had the
Jobs. and therefore they had to face
hard times. As a result of this in
fuX. many families were left in desti-
tute circumstances, but up to date the
society has managed to supply them
with their immediate needs. Funds
are always welcomed by the good la
dies of the society and they will ap-
preciate any assistance given them
by the charitably inclined of the city.

AFTER THEY HAD LANDED THEIR

After the local sheriff had run to

him behind the bars in Amarillo, Tex
as, the white slave" investigator or
officer in that district who was un-
able, it seems to catch the man, al
though 1t is further alleged that he
was working in that section for some
time, concluded that he wanted him
instead of letting him come back to
Garter county, where he Is known,
and where the greater part of the
crime was committed so he proceeded
to cause the sheriff and county attor-
ney a lot of trouble here last night
Sheriff Garrett and the county attor-
ney got into communication with the
district attorney at Fort Worth, and
that official informed them that he
would notify the officials at Amarillo
to turn the man Bush over to the Car
ter county officials, which he did.
Deputy Sheriff Kendall will arrive
in the city today with Bush and the
girl, and county attorney Hardy
states that he has a very strong case
against him and will no doubt secure
a conviction. The details of this mans
actions grow more revolving as the
facts become known, and the feeling
against him is growing bitter in the
vicinity of the girls home.

German Trenches Captured.

( London, March 28.--The British
infantry stormed today and took first
and second.line German trenches
along front of 600 yards at st. Eloi.
says the British official communica-
tion issued this evening. The text
of the statement follows:
This morning after exploding
mines, infantry of the NOrthumber-
land Fusilliers and Royal Fusilliers
assaulted the German salient at st.
Eloi, successfully, taking first and sec
Ond line trenches on a front of some

Eloi, and Weiltje.
Last night and today there has
been much mining activity. At La

mine. To the south of Neuville st.
Vast and near the Hohenzollern re-
doubt there has been crater fighting

CANDIDATES
WITH HATSOFF
TWO WELL KNOWN CITIZENS
WHO HAVE RUN FOR OFFICE
BEFORE ARE TALKED OF FOR
LEGISLATURE.

The hotel lobbies developed a
couple of prospective candidates foI
the state legislature last night, and
it will not be at all surprising to see
the hats of our fellow townsmen, Guy
Sigler and w. Franklin Bourland,
in the mystic ring before the cam
paign is very far advanced.
Both are well known TO the citi-
zens of Carter county as candidates.
They have mixed it with the boys
in times past on the slightest provo
cation, and sometimes without any
provocation whatever. They are both
well versed in the art of campaigning
and will make formidable opponents
not only to each other but to any
one else who has the timidity to
force the issue with them.
Guy and Frank have campaigned
the county until they are known to
every man, woman and child. They
have been candidates for office with
out intermission almost since the
dawn of statehood, and while they
have never drawn any of the prizes
or emoluments of office, there is no
their ability to fill any
of the offices to which they have as
pired. and while but one can be elect
ed as a representative from this coun-
ty the taxpayers will be well served
by either of them.

moment because it involves
millions of dollars for the Ore
gon schools. It is a subject of
vital Importance to farmers not
only because of the school as
pect but for the further reason
the money if obtained for the
irreducible school fund will be
used for realty loans at six per
cent interest.
The following are the facts
with reference to the Oregon
delegation: Senator Chamber
lain, democrat, is leading a
fight in the senate to secure 40
per cent of the money approx
imately $18, OO0, O00) for the
school fund. Senator Lane,
democrat, remains silent as to
his position on the subject.
Congressman Sinnott, republi-
can, is working earnestly in the
house for the 40 per cent pro-
viso. Congressman Macarthur,
republican, is also supporting
the move. Congressman Haw-
ley, republican, has never
been counted as helping the
cause and had a bill of his own
on the subject which made no
provision for the school fund.
His plan, however, was re-
jected by the house committee.
Therefore it will be seen
that on this subject-which
carries a hope of inestimable
benefit to our public schools
and hope of district tax reduc-
tions-the delegation is not
presenting a united front. It
is important that when the
crucial time arrives they be
united and eager for the rights
of this state. If you have any
influence with any member of
the delegation bring it into
play. If you have influence
with senators or congressman
from other states urge them to
stand by the Oregon schools.
Our cause is Just and a close
study Of the subject will show
this beyond the slightest doubt.

In the trial of the Portland
case a Multnomah county
jury was used, as provided by
law. A jury made up of resi-
dents from distant counties
would have been more indie
pendent of local influences
and in all probability would
have brought a conviction.
Federal court juries, selected
from the whole state, are not
ed for the fact they generally
convict a man when the law
and the evidence warrants
conviction.
1t would be a forward step
for Oregon to provide jury
panels by some other method
than on a county unit basis.
The expense of juror travel
would be balanced off by the
fact the percentage of reject
ed jurors would be lessened
and by eliminating litigation
that proves futile or worse
than futile because Of hung
juries or the acquittal Of men
after they have been proven
guilty.

perience not on poisonous"
reports spread to make
trouble.
While saying this it would
be unfair not to mention the
fact Americans are learning
something about Mexico. Many
thought they would all unite as
against a common foe. They
have not done so, but are help
ing us out in apparent good
faith. In other words the Mex
lean people as a whole have
more discriminating power
than many Americans credited
them with having.

GOVERNMENT GASOLINE?

- ISCUSSING the rising
- price of gasoline and the
necessity of some action
to protect the people the San
Francisco Examiner recently
said:
The OIL Trust is supposed to be de-
stroyed. Mr.. Taft went through a Sc
ries Of meaningless regal motions
which dissolved the oil Trust into
its component companies, but the
same people control the Individual
companies that controlled the trust,
which was nothing more than those
companies formally united.
The price Of gasoline has been in
creasing ever since Mr. Taft gave the
Oil Trust ~absolution and declared 1t
dead and buried. and the cost Of gas
oline has increased because the COM
bination and control Of the oil situa-
ton exists just to the same extent as
it did before, but is no longer ack-
nowledged to exist and is no longer
regulated.
The remedy, therefore, Is plain
enough. The oil Trusts monopoly
must be broken down by public regu-
latlon Of prices Or by government
ownership Of the entire oil supplies.
But let congress propose a
law looking to such an end and
UP will come a long wall about
socialism. If the Hearst pa
pers wish to do some good let
them give vigorous support to
the administrations shipping
bill. That bill if passed will
embark the government into a
venture heretofore limited to
private initiative. At the same
time it will be warning to the
oil combine that there will be
something coming to them if
they carry their extortion too
far.

SIDE Earl SOME.
THING

I'm more ways than one Per-
shing's forces south of the
border are giving the
Mexicans an education that is
apt to be helpful to both coun-
tries.
"They pay their way" is the
expression that follows in the
wake Of our troopers. 1t means
much to the astonished natives
who had been taught to look
upon the g~ringoes as thieves
and child eaters. The Ameri-
can policy of paying for what
we get in Mexico must be par
ticularly pleasing to those who
have been piIlaged first by one
Mexican faction and then an
other.
Hereafter it will be harder
for conniving gentlemen on the
other side of the border to play
upon the greaser's hatred and
fear Of the gringo. The poems
are learning by first hand ex.
p%erience just what our people
and our government will do. II
