CHAPTER III
They Find q Mystery

TACK and Janet were caught.
e The fingers of the Indian Medicine
Man grasped their noses and held them
fast. In vain they tried TO jerk their
noses back through the holes in the
house Of bark. Too late they regretted
the curiosity which had led them to
peep within. They could not get away.
And then another astonishing thing
happened. The long arms which the
Medicine Man had stretched ont to
seize their noses began to draw in again.
And as the arms drew in they drew
the noses with them. Jack AMI Jane,
didn't 60 with the noses. for they were
held fasa on the other side of the bark
wall of the house. The noses just
stretched and stretched like rubber
bands.
They stretched until they were rs
long as the tail of dog. and then
they went on stretching until they were
as long as the trunk Of IN elephant.
Janet gave gasp Of dismay. Snch
long nose would spoil her looks. How

A PROTESTANT HOSPITAL

The Methodist church of Athena
comes to the front with proposal
that for all time will set at rest the
long drawn-out agitation for protest
ant hospital facilities in Umatilla
county, and in making this proposal,
broadness of purpose is exposed
Go the extent that the proposal will be
Immediately accepted and substanti-
ally supported, financially. or agita-
ton for protestant hospitals in pres
ent Catholic hospital areas will at
once be resolved into "hot air." In
offering its fine church building in
Athena for convention into an unde-
nominational protestant hospital. the
Methodist people are rising to an en-
ergency created not for want of funds,
but for lack of action and organiza-
ton. Now with action and organiza-
tion in sight, it is only reasonable to
suppose, that with present collective
manifestations in favor Of protestant
hospitals, the Methodist offer has been
made at most opportune time.

Every admirer of Sherlock Holmes
is likewise an admjrer Of his creator,
and few will regret the visit to
America of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
1t looks as though his campaign to
convert this land of the free to
spiritualism, however, will be wasted
effort. Sir Arthur predicts an almost
universal acceptance Of spiritualism
in the United States within ten
years, but granting that he is right,
who will be the gamer? According
to the spiritualistic doctrine, as we
understand it, the Protestant, the
Roman Catholic, the Mahometan, the
Buddhism brief, adherents of ev-
cry faith--all have an equal chance
for happiness in spirit land. The
one essential here below is spiritual
development, and the "heathen Chi
nee" is all right If he gets it from
the book of Confucius, or poor Lo ii
he is properly incplred by legends Of
the Happy Hunting Ground. So why
do not the spiritualists leave every
one else alone, to work out their fu-
ture in their own way? The answer
is, of course, the universal human
tendency toward proselyting, which

The newspapers think it worth
while to report the case of street
cleaner who never got round to get
ting married because he couldn t gel
day off until after fifteen years
says Golfers Weekly. That is wor-
thy of comment. We think everyone
who works fifty weeks ought to have
the other two weeks off every year.
And that goes for the women, too.
We haven't noticed the papers play

wives who have been doing house,
cleaning and housekeeping for more
than fifteen years without single
day off. in which to forget that they
are married.

joy the same standing as any other
bidders, it is said.
When the Cass contract was can
celed the town board charged that
he had never giveH the required bond
of $4,000, that he failed to provide
workmen's compensation, fire and
windstorm insurance, that he provided
for no service extensions, and that at
the time he was relieved of his con-
tract he was indebted to the local fac
tory from which he was purchasing
his current approximately $1,000,
which still remains unpaid.
Last July Ashe intimated that he
might be interested if the plant was
offered for sale. The Interstate com
pany, which has a plant at Corners
vile, the Winchester electric service
company, and Ralph Teetor, a local
business man, also are regarded as
prospective bidders for the property.
1t is reported that the Interstate com
pany suggested some weeks ago that
if the property could be secured for
about $4,000 it might be interested, a
price which is about so per cent less
than the valuation the appraisers are
expected TO establish for it.

sion would result in the sale of beer
in pool rooms and the like, neverthe-
less, it remains clear that this Ohio
proposal contemplates that no liquor
shall be sold, or manufactured for sale
anywhere which contains more than
~ per cent of alcohol. Inasmuch as
many persons believe that "a per cent
of alcohol is a reasonable limitation
anyhow, and is not essentially intox-
icating.
It can be understood that this change
will have a considerable appeal. But
the next provision of the proposed
change refers to all intoxicating
liquors with any percentage of alcohol
whatever. AS to these latter, the pro-
posed Ohio statute makes the pos
session of them in homes or. residences
for the use of family and guests, when
not intended for sale or other Illegal
purposes, entirely legal.
Must Have Warrant.
The final provision is to the effect
that prohibition enforcement Officers
shall not have the right to search the
property or person suspected liquor
sellers without first securing a search
warrant. This latter provision is OBJ

jected to by the prohibition enforce
ment officers on the ground that 1t
would make the prevention and pun
ishment of bootegging very difficult.
The anti-saloon league is opposed to
these proposals in their entirety and
a square fight on this point consti-
tutes one of the issues of the coming
Ohio election.
To certain extent the result of this
test of of wet VS.. dry sentiment will be
affected by the general issue of Re
publicanism VS.. Democracy on the
same day. Also, it is possible thai
many drys will not fight the proposal
as hard as they otherwise would be
cause they know that even if passed
it will have no effect whatever. The
federal Volstead Act will continue tt
be superior to it. Nevertheless, this
Ohio election will provide as clear {
test of popular sentiment on the bev
erage question as is possible to have
anywhere.
