THE HOBO ELEMENT. Like all rood towns La Grande la attracting: what Is known throughout the country aa a hobo element., The pan who is out of work Is not the hobo, but the man who will not work is .the hobo all over the land.

There are well authenticated recorda of the resuscitation of per sons who had been submerged for half an hour or even longer. Such cases , occur particularly In women and children, in whom the fright at Hading themselves in danger of drowning brings on a collapse or faint in which the heart and breath ing stop and they sink, but low grad-3 life processes continue for a consider able period. Strong men who have bat lied for their lives and then sunk are, not so often revived,' though if taken with a cramp they too may euf fer from ahock or fright with the re sultant collapse , that Is apparently nature's method of giving the longest possible opportunity for life under these circumstances. la such cases, efforts to revive the drowned person should not be abandoned until all chanceg of resuscitation is gone,, says the Journal of the American .Medical association in a recent editorial on this subject. -Patients have been reported as not breathing for 13 minutes to half an hour and yet they have been reeuacl tated. ' - - Ordinarily the methods of resusci tation -an anil mivht nrnnerlv . to . b exercised at the scene of the accident, Often the person is pronounced dead even bsfore a physician has seen him. Only rarely are such cases transport ed to hospitals to be treated. .'The or dinary methods of artificial respira tion might well be carried on in an ambulance and then in the hospital it self. Recourse might, be had to any procedure, even surgical, that teem to give the slightest hope. Certainly In the present state of our knowledge it would seem that some direct irritation of the heart muscle should-be tried before the patient it pronounced dead. Ths saving of even a few of these young lives would be a very precious Jdyance for mnefa fge ejfcn j, . CRAZY OX PROTECTION . ' " ' - ' !"

But the country at large paya no attention to tubsldized newspapers. It day of usefulness has passed even if the large conoema such as the steel trust think differently. No newapaper can make sentiment unless It is on the square. And when the paper re ferred to states on its headline that it is devoted to tne protection of Ameri can labor It is a Joke. What it really stands for it the protection of larg concerns which In many instances no longer ahould have protective tariff, arid which by th grace of Taft and the American people will not have much longer. , . ...V-,,. .If -'- .'
