MACHINERY INSPECTOR

A N EXPLORER will return to the
IA drear loneliness Of the wilder
ness. A convict free will find himself
strangely longing for the bitterness OF
captivity. So strong Is the hold en-
vIronment can take on the soul OF q
man.
On ship In the fleet served a good
seagoing chief engineer. But he had
been at sea too long. He was growing
stale. So he asked for shore duty
He was transferred TO a huge steel
mill where government contracts were
filed. For two years he was to hear
the hum OF lathe and scraper instead
of the pound and the wheeze of his
own engines. Instead of the intermit-
tent roar of the turreted guns he was
TO be half-deafened by the more steady
belching of gigantic blast furnaces.
His title was Naval Inspector OF Ma
chinery.
A superdreadnaught was launched.
The inspector supervised the installa-
ton Of her mighty engines. His re-
sponsibility increased up 70 the day OF
her trials.
ON this day a board of inspection
and survey came down in full regalia
TO hold Official tests of the new war
baby. The inspector met the big bugs
In proper form. but he didn't look
happy.
PERHAPS itewas the ,sheaf of papers
and records he produced that filled him
full of gloom. For instance there were
the weight tables for parts and fittings
and auxIliaries and full boilers as well
as empty ones: 1t may have been his
long monotonous report comparing the
finished product TO the original speci-
fcations. ~
The machinery inspector was gray
and weary. Facts and figures had be-
gun to get on his nerves. Indoor work
had stolen his tan. And when he
guided the trial board Through their
duties i'm trying out the newest of our
men-of-war he realized he'd had
enough shore duty. Guess I'll put In
for the fleet again. he declared. II
don't seem to do so well here"
He was wrong. Few inspectors be-
fore him had been his equal. The truth
was the old, old truth: He was home
sick for the heave of plated deck.
the swish of oily bilges, and a salt
breath out OF the starboard hatch.
So "slave of the sea" Is the right
name after all.

FOR RENT-A six room house. N.
p. Werner, 403 Pearl street, phone
246 1852


Published by request.
! heard a doctor remary the other
day that newspapers are run for
money only. Now, what in thunder
do doctors run for, anyway? Do they
run for glory? One good healthy
doctors bill would run the plant of
common country weekly for six
months. Am editor works day for
SO with an investment of $4,000; a
doctor looks wise and works ten
minutes for $3.50, with an invest
ment of three cents for catnip and
pill bag that costs $1.49. A doc
tor goes to college two or three
years, gets a diploma and a stsing
of words the devil himself cannot
pronounce, eultivates look of grav-
ity that he pawns off for wisdom,
gets box of pills, cayuse and q
meat saw and sticks out his single,
full-fedged doctor. He will then
doctor you until you die at stipu-
lated price per visit, and then puts
them in as thick as your pocketbook
will permit.
An editor never gets his education
finished; he learns as long as he
lives, and studies al his life. He eats
bran mush, and liver; he takes his
pay in salmon and wet, soggy wood
and keeps the doctor in town by re-
framing from printing the truth
about him.
/ would like to live in the town.
where this doctor resides and run a
paper six months, to see if the
'stongue viewer" would change his
mind about an editor running a
newspaper for money only. If / did
not get some glory out of it / would
take one of his pills after saying my
prayers, whatever they might be. If
an editor makes a mistake he has to
apologize for it, but if doctor
makes mistake he buries tiff the
editor makes a mistake there is a
lawsuit, tall swearing and a smell of
sulphur, but if the doctor makes one
there is a funeral, cut flowers and
smell of varnish. The doctor can use
a word foot long, but if an editor
uses it he has to spell it. If the doc
tor goes to see another mans wife,
he will charge the man for a visit. If
the editor goes to see another mans
wife he gets a charge of buckshot.
Any medical college can make
doctor. You can't make an editor. He
has to be- born one.
When doctor gets drunk it is a.
case of "over work, and if he dies
it is heart failure. When an editor
gets drunk it is case of too much
'sbooze" and the snakes. An edi-
tor, from what little experience !
have had with them, works to keep
from starving, while, the doctor
works to ward off the govt" An ed
itor helps men to live better and the
doctor assists. them to die easy. The
doctor CD pulls a sick mans leg,
while an editor is glad if he can col
lect his bills at all.
Money only! Most editors are
only living for fun and to spite the
doctors.-Lue +. Bernon, in Aberdeen

WITNESS TELLS
OF DEATH SCENE
ON IDAHO RANCH
Says Mate of Alleged Woman
Bluebeard Died Under Pc
culiar Circumstances.
POISONED BY FLY PAPER?

TWIN FALLS. Idaho, Oct. 4.--Alone
behind three chairs at which sit her
counsel. her face drawn from the trying
days, her lrs colorless, her eyes search
ing faces of witnesses and jurors, Mrs.
LYDIA Southland. alleged woman Blue
beard, IS hearing today the testimony by
which her guilt or innocence Of murder
ing her fourth husband, Edward Il.
Meyer, is to be determined.
Her mother, nerves shattered by the
early days of the trial, is Ill at home.
Her husband, fifth man to whom she has
been bound in wedlOCk. and her faithful
father, are barred from the courtroom
by order providing for the separation of
witnesses. There is no hand to clasp
hers In the long grind Of the days.
THE State will prove beyond the
shadow of doubt that hers was the Grim
inal hand which administered the poison
to Edward F. Meyer; that the act was
for the purpose Of collecting life insur-
ance and acquiring his estate under the
will he made a few days prior to the
murder"
Thus Prosecuting Attorney Frank L.
Stephen, in his opening statement, de-
fined the issues, and with the first wit
nesses brought before court and jury
the contention Of the State was that the
poison administered had been obtained
from fly paper.

HARDING TO BE
ASKED TO STOP
WARSHIP WORK
Suspension During Arms Par
ley Held Best Act of
Good Faith.
BORAH, POMERENE LEAD

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-President
Harding will be urged to stop all work
on warshiDs during the disarmament con
ference in resolutions shortly to make
their appearance in the Senate
Senator's BOrah, Idaho, and Pomerene,
Chio, viii take the initiative in pressing
upon the Administration the view that a
suspension of all naval construction for
the period Of the conference would be a
simple act OF good faith by the United
STATES.
Meanwhile the House Appropriations
Committee virtually has decided that ~the
big Navy and Army appropriation bills
which win provide funds for any arma.
ment work during the year beginning
July 1, 1922, shall not be discussed until
after the conference.
There are two reasons for the commit
tees decision:
1. To prevent embarrassment to the
Administration during the arms par
ley.
2. Because the success or failure Of
the disarmament conference may die
tate material changes.
Congress has until late in June to pass
the 1922 appropriations.
Both Borah and Pomerene are of the
sion by the United States would make
considerable impression in the world.
"If the world gets to know that
America is honest about this disarma-
ment matter the people In other countries
Will exert a tremendous influence on their
delegates to the Washington conference
and we shall end by having all the ma
lions honestly and earnestly seeking
ways TO reduce ornaments" said Borah.
But how farcial for US to go on build
ing dreadnaughts, cruisers and destroy
ers while we solemnly talk about limit
ing naval ornaments.
'Of course We viii be told that the
other nations with naval programs are
continuing. This continuance viii doubt
less be based upon financial grodnds.
But to a great many folks In this
country, it will appear that the way to
disarm is to stop building any more
engines of war. And it win be a great
zeal, easier not 70 resume building after
the conference than it will be to stop
then, and a great deal cheape
While BOrah's resolution probably will
demand suspension, POmerene's merely
authorizes President Harding to suspend
naval construction.

These serve only to obscure the vision

DR.. Drum cited buyers strike" as q
catch phrase which was misleading be-
cause 1t was not that the people did not
want to buy it was simply that wartime
prosperity was at an end. values were
