A deal re to hide his bigamous
marriage to Mrs. Hattie Males
from his wife and children induced
William. S. Coffey to slay Mrs.
Halts as she lay aleep. he told
authorities In his third and latest
confession.

a story that he accidentally stew

eloped witb him to Winona last

salesman broke down under a
ceaseless fire of questions and ad
mitted that he deliberately plotted
Mr a Halts' death. A baseball bat
and a hammer were the struments
of death, he said. Ho converted
to his own use $5,000 In securities
which the woman possessed.

"I killed her dellberatly; there

THE TOBACCO PARADOX
A scientist at Johns Hopkins university has been closely
observing the effects of tobacco on smokers, with these
interesting results: He finds that it quickly speeds up heart
action, and raises the blood pressure; that it decreases steadi
ness and accuracy; that it retards muscular fatigue, stimu
lates any automatic function, whether physical or mental,
aid increases apparent efficiency in work requiring sustained
attention over a long period of time. This is a pretty satis
factory report, from any point of view. Those who condemq
'tobacco may find justification, and those who defend it may
rfind equal justification. So the anti-smokers will say "I told
you so," and the smokers will keep right on smoking, and
cvcrylxxly will be happy as usual excepting, of course, when
'the smokers do too much smoking, or the novice tries to ac
quire the habit too quickly.

, OVR PKT LEGISLATION lJILIS '
i Willi the mil mal school and armory projects awaiting a
fitatc:a))iopiiation the only obstacle to their early realiza
tion it is only natural that people of La Grande and I'nion
county ai-e more interested in the 'acts of the legislature and
in the accomplishments of our own delegation than at any
time in many years. -
There has been, in the last two or three weeks, some
anxiety about the bills which mean so much to this territory.
iTlie cry of "deficit" has been sounded so frequently and in
Histently that fear for any appropriation has been oniy
natural. The anxiety is unnecessary and the fear unfounded,
in our opinion.! A journey to Salem frill convince any citizen
that the utmost is being done by the load delegation and
that there is every reason to believe that favorable action
will be taken on both projects of inteiest here.
Whether or not the armory bill will le successful depends
somewhat, perhaps, on the fate of various new revenue
measures to be considered, but it is as definitely assured as
anything can be in a state legislature -that the normal school
for Eastein Oregon will receive an adequate apprrpriation
and work can actually be started within alniut 90 days after
adjournment.. The tremendous majority with V'lich the
measure cairied at the Novemlwr election is a mandate to
legislators that is lieing taken seriously.
Immediate approval cannot e expected, of course. Cur
rent expenses are first given attention by the ways and
means committee. Capital outlay for the budget will not In
considered until regular matters are disposed of, but the
committees shriuld get to that sometime this week. The
actual appropriation measures will not pass the legislature
until near the end of the session, in all probability, but in
the past the approval of the ways and means committees has
been equivalent to passage. We do not anticipate any ex
ception this year, affecting I. Grande, at least
, Union county is extremely fortunate in itspresent delega
tion and The Observer has great confidence in the ability,
of Senator Hunter and Kiddle and Representatives Weather
spoon and Charley Hunter. Roth of the Hunters are experi
enced legislators; they know what they want and how to go
about it. They are memliers of most important committees
from La Grande's standpoint .Mr. Kiddle and Mr. Weather-'
spoon have dropped smoothly into the legislative regime and
have made' rapid progress. Mr. Kiddle, who will be back on
the job this week after an illness, is chaiiman of the senate
niilitry-affairs committee an unusual position fdr a new
senator to attain.
,. The position of the entire delegation is as favorable as
could nonnally be hoped for. The Observer has great faith1
in its ability and though we anticipate nothing sensational
and nothing impossible, we are sure our members will ac
complish the primary things they have set out to do.' Those
things are right; they deserve to win on merit alone.
