OUT OF AN IMPURE MIND.

The Waseca Herald, pubhshed IN
a legislative district which has twice
as many senators and representa-
ives per capita as has any Northern
district unburdens itself
of this vicious thrust at its friends
and neighbors of the North:
Revised returns from st.
Louis County give Preus and
Kellogg 5000 extra votes after
they most needed them. How
long will law abiding people toll
crate the unlawful juggling
with votes and voters which has
been going on for generation
in the Steel trust domain?
"Waseca county consists of IL
townships, st. Louis county would
make II counties the size of
Waseca. Waseca is a thickly set
tied county with ready communica-
ton between all parts of it. st.
Louis is thinly settled in parts with
many small communities for from
the seat of government. Probably
bandbox Waseca had all its returns
from its few townships at the
county seat the next morning after
election. Many of the outlying pre-
cincts, $50 miles from the st. Louis
county seat, could not get their re-
turns to the county auditor in
three days following the election.
1T i'll becomes the, rotten bur-
ough of Waseca, with twice the rep
resentation it ought fairly to have
in the legislature, to talk about law
abiding people, Juggling wit h
votes etc. The violation of justice,
to secure which laws are made, is
far more rank and scandalous in
Waseca county today than it ever
was in St. Louis county. And
Waseca is hanging on to its unfair
holding with a death like grip; it
will fight, in the coming legislature
with all it's might, to retain it's un.
just advantage. Yet it pirates OF
law abiding people,
"The reference to Juggling with
votes and to the steel trust domain
is purely gratuitous insult, the
product of the rapid imaginings Of

Over in East Boston there is a
Judge named Brown who has real
white ideas. Every time short
weight coal dealer is brought before
him, he orders the convicted one to
give one extra ton of coal to the
cheated customer in lieu of fine.
This sounds much better than SIS
fine and surely should be appreciat-
ed by the victim. While the acts Of
Judge Brown do not conform strict
ly to Blackstone, the justice of the
proceedings are apparent to all and
especially the user of coal.

The Socialist bunch certainly
slipped one over on the farmer with
the Farmer-Labor party in the late
election. The farmer cannot exist
with labor at the present high
prices and a working day Of eight
hours while the labor is after the
highest pay and shorter hours.
How these two elements were har-
monized long enough to elect their
party candidates is a mystery.

THE COUNTY LIBRARY

In the recent report Of the NAL

a healthful optimism concerning
the future OF Malheur county.
The report shows that the use of
this institution is growing by leaps
and bounds; that the people all
over the county are availlng them
selves OF the opportunities of read
ing which the library affords. The
circulation OF books has increased in
ono year t57 per cent; while even
more amazing is the increase in the
number OF borrowers through the
Introduction over the county OF the
new system of distribution.

there appea~s men and pub icatlons
with tho couraSa to tell II /, folks OF
our neighboring 80. the truth
concerning their attitude toward a
service which was designed 10 aid
the arid land states. and not Idaho
alone.
SO long as tho people OF Idaho,
and other states. for Idaho Is not

avoid the payment 10 the reelama-
tion funds the assessments due on
their systems, so long will, It be
before other states. like Oregon
which have been denied their share
of the funds. secure justice.
Idaho has had from the fund
several times the amount the state
has contributed through the sale OF
public lands; Oregon has not had
half Of what II has put into reclama-
tion funds spent within her borders
for government reclamation pro-
jects. Not satisfied with this dis
parity Idahoans-some OF them at
least-want TO have a holiday on
the payment OF their assessments,
thus compounding the felony of In
justice TO Oregon.
Fortunately the Congressman Ad-
olson T. Smith OF Idaho and the
Statesman OF Boise have come for
ward with a frank statement OF the
facts. II the reclamation lands
which have been so favorably treated
can not pay their way. then reclama-
tion in Idaho is a failure; the pro-
ponents Of postponment must admit
that is a logical conclusion to draw
from their own statements. or
course this is not true. Reclama-
tion has paid In Idaho. and the
reclamationists In Idaho can pay-if

LIBRARY NOTES

The Central Library is oen daily
except Friday and Sunday from
$3.50 to $3.50 and 1900 to 500.
OF special interest to pioneers of
Oregon should be this book by
Alice Tisdale Pioneering where the
World is Old" The author and her
husband each with the inheritance
of rover's spirit, were called on
business to that part of China that
lies outside the Great Wall, Man
churia. Here, In that great unset
tied and ancient province, travelling
In a two-wheeled bullock cart, they
encountered all the perils of from
tier life where bandits roam at
large. The book is illustrated by
photographs taken by Mrs. Tisdale.
The sweet scents, silken wells and
violet eyes of the beautiful women
of the Turkish harems are myster-
les only vaguely imagined by the
practical women of the Western
world. Demetra Vaka, a young
Greek, was born a Turkish subject,
and lived her girlhood in CONSTANT
nople. Here her playmates were
little Turkish girls OF the upper
class. Upon being sent TO America
to be educated, she discovered that
the Turks were held in great hat
red by the Americans and that
their women were considered mis-
cradle slaves. After six years In
the West. learning Occidental Gus
toms. she returned for o visit to her
native land. determined 10 find out
whether heg old friends were as the
Americans said and she had never
known II. Upon arriving In Con-
stantinople. she received the follow
ing typlcally Turkish letter from a
girlhood friend:
beloved One, from a far
way country, come; DO you
remember your friends; or have
books and knowledge within
them made your formerly dear
heart like a bookcase7 II you
still love us, come to see US.
Two loving hearts. and the lit
tle buds that have sprung from
them.
NAsSAREH and TsAKRAN,
Their buds and their gardener.
Then follows In the book "Har-
omlik" which she has written about
the ensuing visits TO old friends liv
ing In Turkish harems. an account
OF her visit TO Nassarah and Tsa-
kran both OF whom have the same
husband. One after the other. she
questions her old friends and many
new ones; the result is a fascinating
tale OF Turkish harem life and a
Turkish explanation OF why that life
persists.

Harding was a member OF the state

Since moving to Texas few years

complished Us follows:
Wedge a row of matches between the
bottom eff the drawer and the cover OF

Flush the drawer back in with the right

up. This time, when the drawer lie

come into view, and the box will ap-
