Case after case of regulation can be found In this state where the Home Rale asso ciation has done a great deal of good. Besides, an examination of the Home Rule association membership will plainly Indicate that many of Oregon's best citizens are members. They are men who represent the state's indus try and hare its welfare most at heart Does anyone suppose for a mo ment that these men who never pro fited In their lives from the sale or iiquor, wuuiu ieuu'uieir iwuien ami Influence to anything that would rag down morality In Oregon, dr cause the state to suffer disgrace in any form whatever? These things must all be taken into consideration when one Is making up his mind regarding the matters now confronting the public- There are always two sides to any question, and this question is no exception to the role. . Considerable has been said also about the posters relative to "Having jour house broken Into and searched for liquor." Those who have never liv ed under what is , known as "the search and seizure law" can hardly un derstand that such a thing would be permitted, but anyone who witnessed the operation of the search and seiz ure law has no doubt about its re sults. People of Oregon smile when they see such an assertion as the bill boards contain because most of them have never thought that such a thing was possible to enter a home and search for liquor at will. And the most harmful feature of this law where operative is that it Is made the vehicle of malice and spite. An officer or a citizen who became en raged at a neighbor can have the neighbor's house searched at will. But there Is an amusing side to the law, as well, for occasionally some man who Is yelling loudly for prohibition is confronted with a Jug or a case of beer that has been taken from hid cellar under the search and seizure act ' 'B-o-w-e-r-m-a-n that's Jay.

We Bough Suits $ 12.50 The Sleepwalker By ARTHUR EDWARDS. Copyright. 1910. by American Pros ' Association. . And so. my boy, you're going to tbe city to take a position in business. It's more than seventy years since I did tbe same thing myself. When I was your age I was appren ticed to a New York china merchant Tbe apprentice usually lived in the family of bis employer, and 1 lived with tbe Van Boras. Mr. Van Horn's office was on tbe ground floor of his bouse, tbe living rooms being upstairs. The bouse stood oo tbe bank of tbe East river, and from it we could see tbe ships in which be was interested come In to the slips on the other side of tbe street, poking their bowsprits almost in at our windows. 1 was but fourteen years of age when was apprenticed to Mr. Van Born. Be bad but one child, Katherlne, who was twelve, to whom 1 soon stood as a brother. Before the term of my ap prenticeship bad expired we had be come lovers, and I preferred to remain where 1 was rather than accept a po sition that would separate me from Katherlne. But of this Mr. Van Born was ignorant Meanwhile Mrs. Van Born bad died. and her place In the household man agement was taken by a housekeeper, middle aged widow named Clark. Mrs. Clark bad no sooner come into the family than it was apparent that she aimed at marrying Mr. Van Born. By that time I was nineteen years old and Katherlne was sixteen. It was natural that we should unite against the common enemy, for Katherlne was up In arms against any one who aspir ed to take her mother's place. During my boyhood I became a som nambulist Tbe first time I walked In my sleep I awoke to find myself stand ing before a mirror brushing my hair. I was terribly Bhocked and, running to my bed. covered my head and lay trembling till morning. Another time, when the bowsprit of a large ship ex tended over the house, I found myself one night on the bowsprit I saved myself from falling into the street by catching a rope. I had gone on to the roof, got on to the bowsprit and was shinning down. At that time there were no safes such as we have now. A modern safe compared with the strong box of that flay is like an ocean liner compared with one of the caravels In which Co hi tubus crossed the Atlantic. I well remember tbe strong box Mr. Van Born kept in ono of tbe rooms on the na floor of his house, a room he used for his private office. It was cov ered with strips of iron interlaced like basketwork. But it was opened by a big iron key that would now serve for a stable door. All of a sudden Mr. Van Born began to miss Important papers from his strong box. He confided bis loss to Mrs. Clark, and there was at once a great change in his treatment of me. It was plain to me that she had not only opened his eyes to my relations with his daughter, of which he had been oblivious, but she led turn to sus pect thsjt I was stealing his papers. She herself was oblivious to nothing that was going on and had not only - -I" II I Ml- I " ' ...

Bat Mr. , Van Born was a secretive man, and, though i he was seriously ; poisoned against me and was ambitious for his daughter to become the wife of an emi nent man, he pretended to disbelieve the charge against me, preferring to set a watch upon me without letting any one In the bouse know that he was doing so. Be slept with his door open at the other end of the hall, on which my room also faced, and since be was a light sleeper It was almost lmposai ble for me to leave my room without his knowing it , ' Well, one night I woke np from one of my somnambulistic walks, and my astonishment was as great as. If not greater than, ever before. I , was standing In the counting room on the main floor. Mr. Van Born was stand tng in tbe door that opened into bis private office, while by tbe light of a candle Mrs. Clark was seen kneeling beside the strong box. "Go to .your room," said Mr. Van Horn to me. I lost no time In doing so, but noon recovered from tbe shock of my tud . den awakening from somnambulism; for I saw that my physical defect had made a great change in tbe situation Tbe next morning 1 saw Mrs. Glark packing to leave, and before noon sbe was out of the bouse, never to return. As soon as she had gone Mr. Van Born called me Into his private office and told me of tbe loss of his papers, his consultation with bis housekeeper and her turning his suspicions against me. Tbe night before he bad heard me get out of bed and, going himself Into the hall, bad seen me start on what be soon became convinced was a somnambulistic tour. Be and 1 were both in our bare feet and moved wltb a catlike tread. When be saw me go down into the office it occurred to Dim that I was stealing his papers in my sleep. But Instead of that 1 was lead ing him to tbe thief, who was at that time engaged in removing more papers from his strong box. Considering that I bad saved Dim from the tolls of s bad woman and that be discovered Katherlne's strong love for me, Mr. Van Bora consented to our engagement and afterward. when we were married, made me bis partner.
