EASILY PLEASED.
To further show that the Observer's
contention regarding our water-soaked
brethren of Western Oregon is cor
rect, listen to what complimentary
terms were showered on the same.
Walt. Holcomb who proved to be tire
some at the Grande Ronde chautauqua.
He delivered the same lecture at Glad
stone chautauqua and this is what the
papers in Portland had to say:
Sam Jones son-in-law, Walt Hol
comb, of Nashville, Tenn., pulled off,
a horserace at Gladstone chautauqua
feet ahead of the "bay" was just as
boisterous and vociferous as that ac

ty fair. J, . Y
v Holcomb's style is almost as orig
inal as that of his inimitable father-in-law..
.Iri his peculiar Southern drawl
lies.tfie secret of his. humor. His lec
ture, too, is original in theme, and, in
the vernacular of the horseman, he pic
tures a thrilling contest between the
"gray" horse of socialism, the "bay"
horse of capitalism, 'the "black" horse
of anarchy and "the "white horse of
altruism.,-' . ' ;
Being a horseman, himself and the
proprietor of a large stock ranch in
Tennessee, Holcomb naturally makes
his description effective and occasion
ally he "jjands over" a few pet slang
phrases that would make the usual
lingo of the 'jockey seem exceedingly
tame. , But he gives his message and
does it if)ost effectively.
much important business was ' done.
Retiring President J. H. Rudd and the
other ; delegates from here have re
turned, the institute having adjourned
until ' next year.
The officers for the ensuing year
are:
Fred J. Taylor, La Grapde, presi
dent; Reba Williamson, Island City
first vice pre.; Fannie McKennon, Un
ioji, second vice pres.; Ed Jasper, Ali

Baker, fourth vice pres.; Mrs. W. A.
Winters, La Grande, junior superin
tendent; Vera Leffel, La Grande, cor

Island City, treasurer.
The first big gathering of these five
conventions will be the Idaho confer
ence of the Methodist church, bring
ing bishops, district superintendents,
ministers and lay delegates to a num
ber estimated at 350.
Plans for entertainment of these
for the purpose of bearing and rearing
a child. The board, after considerable
debate and deliberation, refused. Mrs.
Edgell's request.
The newspapers and periodicals got
hold of the story and gave it much
space, arousing discussion throughout
the city. FueTwas added to the flames
when Mrs. Bridget C. Peixotto, a
Bronx teacher, was suspended indefi
nitely for staying away from school to
give birth to a baby.
Twenty married teachers attended
the meeting at the Hotel Astor, where
the league for the Civic Service of
Women was launched and the move
ment was indorsed by the New York
Mothers' club and the Women Law-J
vers' club. For manv vears there have
been married women employed in the!
public schools of New York, and from
time to time they have dropped out on
sick leave and have become mothers.
The question never became a public
one until Mrs. Edgell made formal
hall on the stand today in the insidious

counsel. The request was granted
but not until after Committeeman
Reed had objected.
The Strawberry In Sacred Art.
When the old musters introduced tin
strawberry into their religious picture
it was because that stouelcss, thorn
less fruit, with its cbiiste whltf li!n

Thirty Negroes Burn.
Jackson, Miss., Ju yl22. Thirty
Negro convicts sleeping on the uc.
ond floor of a wooden cage on a con
vict farm 20 miles southwest of here
were cremated at midnight last night,
and their bodies burned beyond recog
nition. The fire started from the first
floor and as the structure was an old
flimsy building it burned rapidly. The
screams of the imprisoned were heard
for miles. The lower floor of the
cage was filled with hay. As there
was no means of fighting the fire the
guards stood by and watched the con
victs die in agony.
