H E recent action of the mill owners at Grays Harbor, Washington,
in flying the American Hag to show that all workmen employed
there were true American citizens, was a highly commendable act.
Whenever a person belittles themselves to the extent that they have
no respect for our flag, which stands for life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, it is high time that something was being done on the
part of the loyal and patriotic citizens.
it is not the aim of The Times to create any disturbance, but
since The Times stands for T R I’TH. L IB E R T Y . L A W and E Q L A L
RIGHTS, it is our contention that the officers of the law should pro
tect all those who are endeavoring to earn an honest and peaceful
living, and when the officers of the law fail, then it is the duty
of every loyal American citizen to help.

and Mr. Wolcott a great deal o f Inno

On one occasion a large walnnt color

"A h m most powerful desperlt, Mr.

O’ Rourke said that would be easily
done If tbe caller was as good a fight

he'd have to be tried out first The
stranger said he was willing, and
O'Rourke called W olcott "Take this
man out In the gym .’’ said he. “ and
try him out."
The pair fiddled and fenced about
for awhile.
Then Wolcott got his
chance, whanged that right hand over,
and tbe stranger bounced three times
before he came to rest. By and by he
waked up to find O’ Rourke bending
over him. "Mebbe Ah'd make a pret

he hopefully.—Cincinnati Times-Star.
A Bit of Humor That Brought Phil May
to His Senses.

Phil May. the English artist " o f most

colored design for the Christmas num
ber o f an Illustrated weekly publica
tion. The date fixed on for Its deliv
ery passed by. tnd no design bad been
forthcoming.
I-etters and telegrams were unan

sent to May’s bouse it appeared that

any address. This, according to Lon
don M. A. P „ Is what happened next:
The publishers were at their wits'
end, but one of them, paying a day's
visit to Margate, was overjoyed to see
May basking In the sunshine by the
water. Tbe publisher did not make
himself known, but cannlly ascertain
ed where May was staying. Then he
hired six sandwich men to parade up
and down before tbe artist's window
with boards bearing different legends.
This was their tenor:
"W hat about our Christmas cover?”
“ W e are waiting for that cover.”
It was a delightful reminder, and In
a few days the publishers received one
of the most brilliant designs May had
ever executed.

“ I don ’t care how much people theorize on soap boxes, but when
a set of people begin to talk in a way that injures the United States
aud the prosperity of Oregon and Portland, then, it seems to me, it is
time to call a halt. The Nation is safe enough, anti the Constitution,
1 hope, is safe enough, but the obligation remains with us to see that
the laws are properly executed. A great many people are being
tempted by the Delilah of anarchy. She seems to be a very fascinating
maiden, and very dangerous.”

woman, married or single, whose salary is twenty dollars a week or
more should take care of one child.
She thinks that, married couples whose weekly income is twenty-
five dollars or more should have one child. All old maids or bachelors
over thirty years of age should adopt a child.
“ I think if some of the bachelors would cut out spending so
much for silk sox and cigars and have the unmarried women cut
their candy down one-half it would save more than one child’s health
ami some time their lives.”
