that able Democrats, residents of Ore
gon, men who can produce logical argu
ments in favor of the Democratic side of

collection of roses in tho lot in front of
her dwelling, but whose business calls
her down town during the day, has been
annoyed of late by boys on their way to
school plucking the roses in a manner
that often half ruined the bushes. This
morning she made up her mind to "lay '
for the kids, and was rewarded by catch
ing one of them in the very act. The
kid cleared the yard fence like a deer,
but the prompt use of the 'phone had
bim cited before Professor Landers, and
at last accounts the culprit had turned
"states evidence" on six of his accom
plices. It is very probable that rose
swiping will degenerate into inocuous
desuetude for some time to come.
