They are in jail. An honest effort that ends in fail- ure is better than no effort at all. It supplies the experience that pave, the way to future succeoa. When we hear a fellow boasting that he never changes his mind we quite agree with him. It is difficult to change something that does not exist. It is useless to expect the people to do their Christmas buying early unless the merchants do their holiday advertising early. Smoke a pipe full of wisdom, gentlemen. (Jerry Owen in Oregon Voter) He held a nation in his hand With the thrall of the funster’s art. And no man ever before had reached So close to a nation's heart; Custodian he of a people’s joy. Grand Guardian of the laugh; Prime Minister of the Lighter Vein With the whole land on his staff. But the children’s idol betrayed his trust; His feet were wrought of clay, And honor and faith and worshipers Are vanishes! in a day. Down in the mia-matic depths Of sin and sorrow and shame Has sunk the soul of the man we loved, And a fair and joyous name. And we shall never laugh again At the antics of our friend; Sadly we strip hi- cap and bells, His reign is at an end; We blot his name from the (iolden Book, Where it stood first before, And turn his face to the shrine’s ban wall, And softly close the door. EDITORIAL COMMENT Many a self made man made as well. is tailor The man who is true to himself is never a traitor to other,. Every procession has a head and a tail. Where do you march? Perhaps some people prefer to be miserable because time doesn’t fly so rapidly. Don’t worry over the troubles of tomorrow. It’s the successes of today that count. Many people are blessed with good dispositions and cursed with an in ability to retain them. A stolid, blank-looking Indian sat in the federal court room to he ar- raigned for bootlegging. His case was called. The marshal told him to stand up. but he only stared, appar ently not comprehending. The marshal motioned him to rise. He stood. “What is your nume?” the Judge asked. No reply. “Have you an attorney?" Only a helpless stare from the In- dian. “Can you understand English?” queried the Judge. Blank silence on the part of the prisoner. “Mr. Attorney, what is the man charged with?" asked the judge, The district attorney stated th. case. “It seems to me,” said the Judge, “that this is a very trivial case. The poor man doesn't seem to understand a word of English. He probably has no understanding that he has done wrong. Mr. Attorney, just enter a nolle prosequi (elect not to prose cute) in this case." The Indian was told he could go, but stood staring and motionless. The marshal, with a gesture, ordered him to sit down. He obeyed, and stayed throughout the long afternoon session of court. In one case the charge was similar to his own. Scott Miller, a noted local lawyer, was defending. Miller entered a plea of guilty for his client, and then made an impassioned plea for mercy. His pathos would have moved a marble statue to tears. He represented long and earnestly the wonderful virtues and manifold kindnesses of his client. When he sat down, the judge said: "Five years in the penitentiary.” Court adjourned, and as the crowd passed out the Indian followed. He walked down the steps behind Miller. Suddenly he leaned over and whis pered in the attorney’s ear: “White man talk too d—n much." An hahitual offender in the person ■ of an old color«! woman was before I the police judge. "Why, hello, Mary," said the Judge.! “What are you here again for?" "Oh,” replied Mary.
