OSCAR YATES DIES SUDDENLY

Oscar Yates was born in Salem.
Ohio, April 10, 1s49, and died satur'
day, May 10, 1923, the cause being an.
oplexy. Educated in the public schools
in his place of birth he left home NJ
the age of 2l, stopping over for short
periods in several places, locating Der
manently, at the end of four years. at
Osceola, Iowa, where he was engaged
in farming until he came to Nezperce
in 1910. Here he bought choice farm
about three miles west of town. which
he owned at the time of his death.
Mr.. Yates ives never married. He
made his home, for many years, with
his brother, c. w. Yates. 1t was at
this home that he passed away quietly.
on Saturday last at about 900 in the
morning. The deceased was in excel.
ent health all his life. On April 5 of
the present year, he suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis, from which he
seemed to rally nicely. Though some
what lame from the stroke, he was
soon able to move about without any
assistance. Last Thursday he was
seized with the second stroke, also a
light one, which did not yisibly affecr
his power of locomotion. With full
confidence in himself he refused the
use of a cane when it was proffered
to him by the family. On Saturday
morning, as was his custom, he came
downstairs and ate hearty breakfast
About an hour later he went upstairs
later, the family heard gurgle. C.
w. Yates went up to see what was the |
matter. He arrived just in time to
hear the stricken brother take his last
breath. There was no struggle. The
end came without pain. DR.. Taylor,
who was Immediately summoned, de-
clared it as his opinion that a third
stroke was doubtless the cause Of
death. The deceased leaves three
brothers, c. w. of Nezperee, james H.
of Osceola, Iowa, and Leonard of

the body and prepared it for shipmen'
to the old home at Osceola, Iowa. The
remains were accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. C. w. Yates and their son, Opal. |
The party departed from Nezperce on
Monday morning.
A memorial service was held at the
Yates residence in this city on SUNDAY
afternoon, the sermon being preached
by Rev. John A. Hoffman, pastor of
the Community church.
Mr.. Yates was quiet and nnassum-
ing man, taking little interest in pub
lie affairs. He was man of genial
disposition, always pleasant to meet,
a friend to all, an agreeable neighbor,
and a man of excellent character. He
will be missed by host of friends and
neighbors.

Our S7,500-a-Year COngressmen.
(Now York Post.)

Representative Upshaw lntroducing a bill to in- House salaries from $7500 to$ 000 shrewdy remarked that it would accomplish little except to subject him to harsh criticism His Georgia con- stituents wild certainly think s10,00O excessive
 It is of the most time-honored of our repub- Hcan traditions that we should angry any proposal to increase Congressional pay. When the first Congress in 17S9 fixed the scale at $6 day indignant uproar attested our love of simplicity. Six dollars for sitting a cushion, with nothing to do but vote-why, the Government was going to cost 90O,OO0 year! These pampered Congressman would be supporting a theatre with their riches Henry Clay was just in his threatened with defeat in his Ashland district That was in lsl6 when he voted to raise the pay of House members from $6 day to s1,500 year. Senator elect Bruce of Maryland tells in his life of John Randolph, just published that Randolph wrote ve hemently in defense of the same measure What man can live here on $5000 year?" he demanded He may breathe it, but who can keep family rent a house, furnish it, and keep an equpage give and receive entertainments on that annual amount?' The storm over this outrage caused a repeal of the law in 1817, and the pay made $S a day Later the same question gave birth to one of the two crimes of ,73. The lesser cgme the characterization or silver was not taken up in earnest till the nine
 ties. The greater crime the so-called salary grab " was assaled so hercely that the Congress hur- riedly repealed the increase.
 It is evident that salary of $7,5O0 would com. many more in 1916 than in 1923 Yet there are inadequacics of pay in national service far more glarng than those of Representatives and Senators We are just taking action to raise salaries in our for eign service. The shabby stipends of $45OO s5 900 ana $b,O0O paid to bureau chiefs in the executive departments urgently demand augmentation and nc congress can properly raise it's own pay until if attend to these ill-requited officers

WOMEN, JURY SERVICE AND CONFUSION

The questions of wCmans rights and woman suf- frage not involved the slightest extent in the jury bill that is pending in the Legisature-nor is there any principle of government involved. There IS no connection between jury service the one hand or anybody's rights suffrage the other. Jury service is not right at all. It is an obga- ton required of some of the people The only right in the premises is that of tgans and those charged of crime to trial by jury. It is a duty of the people to give then that right Therefore certain people are required to do jury duty.
 The question before the Legislature now is whether or not women shall be required to render jury service or whether they shall be permitted to volunteer for that duty-a question of whether they shall be conscripted of the men are or whether service shall be optional with them
 Not all men required to serve on the jury Many classes of them given the option as to whether they will or will net large pro portion, if not majority of the want the right of exemption that is given to over cer- tain age and those of the exempted occupations. Certainly the Senate measure which permits a woman to notify the officer who serves her with a subpoena, before has been incurred that she claims her right of exemption would cost the Governmtnt and the served less than it would cost to have the woman excused by merciful Judge after she had been brought into court
 It must be admitted that the referendum was sub mitted by the last Legislature on the basis of Ire quirng women to serve the jury Approximatey V l,500 women voted-two-thirds of them to require, the service and one-third against it. However many of those who voted for the proposition to require the service did SO the promise of the Alaska Fed eration of Womens Clubs and the Alaska w. c. T. U. that the measure when it passed would make service cpuionai. NO authority to make any such promise was vested in these organizations and they should have urged that the proposition be voted down if they did not like il as it put them. Bu. it is condition and not thecry that is before ihe Leg islature. The condition is that very large per centage of the women perhaps maiority-do not want compulsory service.
 Under the circumstances The Empire believes the Legislature has two courses to it. One of them would be tcpaes the bill t passed the Senate and the, other to vote the whole thing down They could resupmt the quetsion if they want to do The fact mat so lew votes were cast the proposition and the obvious confusion that existed and exists among those who did would justify the Legislature in disre- earding the referendum.

Potential Alaska.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

In a matter-of-fact statistical way, recent re- port of the Collector of Customs at Juneau Alaska, furnishes unmistakabe proof of the material pro- gress of the great Northern Territory, and suggests the greater accomplishments in store in the years
 
 Alaska is great in area, in it's natural state and so undovelcped in it's natural resources that the progress far made appears only fair scratching of the surface of things. But the evil dences Of its potential wealth briste on hand
 It's great mineral resources coming back after the reaction-a million dollars greater produc- tcn in 1922 than in the preceding year It's great
 timber resources-perhaps the greatest virgin fore5ts on the ccntinent-are only beginning to be com morcialized. Lumber is being exported direct from Alaska ports to Europe and Asia. The fishing industry last year into value and promin- and clans almost thick upon some of its great Alaska industry, and the Territory is now come later Wood pulp for paper-making is another large industry just making beginning in Alaska.
 The pioneers of the North have served the genera
 ton well in merely sampling the Territorial riches. They have pointed out the possibilities of the future, and the Federal Government has done something to the human swarm Public interest is turning to the North Last year 20,000 travellers entered Alaska from the United States and British Columbia. This season the number will greatly increase When Alaska farms begin to show their possibilities the human tide northward may resemble the Klondike rush. $

SIGNIFICANCE OF LIBERTY BOND
 DEPRESSION.

The circumstance that most of the issues of Lib erty Bonds quoted below par is not bad indca- tion many people to think. 1t means simply that money invested in other securities and used in business is producing more than money invested in Liberty Bonds and that the other securities garded safe Business depression nearly always causes people to view. securities of industrial and business concerns with suspicion and they turn to Government bonds for safe investment. This causes Government bonds to rise.
 The situation also exempifes the chidishness of the contention of nfationists that good faith de- mands that the Government should always maintain Liberty Bonds at par. It would be impossible task unless the Government would accept the responsib- its Of redecming the bends par whenever asked to do so. That would that it would have to issue bonds, bearing higher rate of interest when ever bonds drop below par to get the money with which to make the redemption.
 But if that the case, the Government should have the right to call in the bends whenever they go about par It may readily be that the finances of the country would be in condition of constant fux.
 or course the only obligation the Government Is to pay in gold it's equivalent the interest and principal when they due
