When a poor man is haled into police court and fined $5.00, he has to pay it immediately or go to jail. To the rich man $5.00 doesn't mean much. Even $500 doesn't mean a great deal. . To the poor chap it : means liberty if he has got the five. Kansas City has completed a year of its system of letting police court offenders pay their fines by install- - ments. By this method many a prisoner is saved from the disgrace of jail. The fact that every week he has to forfeit a part of his pay operates to remind him of the bad business policy of breaking the' law - quite as much as any lump assess- ment would do. ;'.''. '"'V- . Under this system the judge sitting on the bench feels more at liberty to fine those who deserve fining. ' Under ' the present method the humane court frequently does not administer a fine for the simple reason that he realizes . the man cannot pay it and will have to be Imprisoned in default. The . offense,, perhaps, merits a fine but not a term In jail. '" Int such cases, the offender goes scot free. In other instances the sending of the bread !!ner ? family to prison only means that for the term of his sen tence his family will be deprived of his support and. thus the hesviet punishment will fall on then.' In Kansas City the .installment plan Is limited to first offenders. The pay-J ments are adjusted to the financial circumstances of the defendant, some times being as W as 80 cents week. Ewlng C. Bland, judge of the Wnhitf. pal court in Kansas City) bYieve the plan solves one of the bis; prob- ' lemi in American cities, the placing of wrongdoers, whether rich or poor, on an equality before the law. Imorisonment in default of non payment of fine Is equivalent to Im. ' prisonment for debt. In such a case the defendant is in debt to the state instead of to an individual SETTLEMENT IN WALLOWA. Perhaps no other person is so fa? miliar with the growth of the Wal Iowa country as a reporter. From the interviews he obtains from set' .tiers who have come a long way, attracted either by an enthusiastic friend now living there or by the ad vertising of some real estate firm, he In able to keep tab on the incoming families. It is evident from close observation that in iho lust four months no fewer than 200 families have moved Into that section of the state. These people have come to stay, and it is safe to assert that In the next year the influx ot people will be -vastly greater. Less than ten families have moved out, and, in many instances, this was caused by family relations and conditions. Most of the families, yes, the big majority went there to till the soil. This means that in five to ten years the products raised by those two hund red families will cause a marked in crease in: the freight shipments to and from that favored section and that in the course of time Wallowa county will be known throughout the state as one of the most ideal coun ties in the northwest. It is going to mean business for the merchants of this city and for the cities in Wal lowa, It will mean bigger schools and. better training. It will mean extension of the ' railroads, the ex ploitation of all of the mineral wealth that is said to be resting in the hills of that county, it will mean that Wallowa county will be one of the leading counties of Oregon." THE MANAGERIAL FORM CATCHING. IS "The Bond Buyer," a paper publish ed in New. York and devtood to bond sales of all kinds, has an interesting article on the adoption by cities of the managerial form of city govern ment , and speaks with some emphas is of the fact that this new form is making friends in all parts, of' the United States. . It will be interesting to know that La Grande is in the eye of the nation, on account of her recent move in this direction, and the results gained with this novel form of city management will be either the incentive or the deterrent for other cities dissatisfied with either the commission form or the aldermaaic form of government. Says this ar ticle: 'The greatest publicity for the new plan of municipal government, how ever, has come from its adoption last August by the important city of Dayton, Ohio, with a population " of upwards of 115,000. Dayton had been suffering from political mis management, with its ' evils of in efficiency and extravagance, and its citizens had become aroused to the necessity of lifting the city out of its wretched condition. A vigorous campaign of education, handicapped by dreadful flood conditions of last year, resulted in a home rule charter, embodying the city manager plan and drafted by a board of fifteen free holders, which waa adopted on Aug ust 12, 1913. After a wide and thor ough search for an expert executive Mr. Henry M. Walte, city engineer of Cincinnati, was seated -. city manager. In the same month Spring field, Ohio, with nearly fifty thousand inhabitants, followed Dayton in adopt ing the hew plan. Since then number of smaller cities have f ailMI into line, such as FnfliX) AfV2,, La j, AmnJilId and Terrell, in TexaSj WJ Cadillac and Manistee, in Micftgan. The charter commis M at work in Salem, Ore., Is also committed to the single executive, sheme. In fact, wherever the sub ject of city revision Is under con sideration, the city manager plan is receiving serious consideration as a( development ol.tne commission pian. SALTS FINE FOR We eat too much meat, which clog Kidneys, then Back hurts ana . Bladder bothers you. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, set eluseUh and clogged nd need a flushing occasionally, elso we hare backache ana dull misery in the kidney region, severe nesdncues, rheu matic twingrs, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness ana all sons 01 o.aauer am orders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, tnko a tableapoonful In a plans of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of ? rapes and lemon juice, combine! with ithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidnevs and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the nrino so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Halts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complication. A well-known local drngglut says he soils lota of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it It only trouble. ' ACHING kidneys Bob Withycombe refuses to become a candidate for representative, claim- ing he can do ; more good breeding barley and fine hogs for the state.

"Some people have the knack of doing and saying the right thing at the right time," cqmmenta Lord Ross more in "Things I Can TelL" And as an Instance of the value of presence of mind In an emergency, he tells of a dog fight in Bond street, London. Two terriers that belonged to two socially eminent ladles had engaged In a businesslike tussle. ' The distracted ladies alternately made tearful but vain appeals to their favorites and to the bystanders. JuBt as the fight seemed about to ter minate fatally for one of the animals a blase-looking "chappta" elbowed bla way through the crowd with a polite "Permit me." ' He calmly surveyed the two strug gling dogs; then he produce a hand some gold snuffbox and taking a pinch of snuff from It he dropped a little on the end of each dog's nose. A fit of sneezing, ensued, which compelled them to release their grip, and tha i combat came to an end. With a polite bow to the ladles, the' strategist walked leisurely away, Youth's Companion.
