DEDICATED WITH Italian Dreadnaught at Fiume Under D'Annunzio's Control $ , rfe"'"v , ' -w. wH mt.f - i 1 x S3 "n 'v ---'''''-""n-in-'-n JrTiTn)TrT1nfiiiiViiif Unsettled cor.i'.ltlons on the eastern coast of tho Adriatic are giving the various capitals of Europe and Wash ington grave concern. The action ot Gabriele D'Annunslo, the Italian sol District Attorney Metsker of Columbia County was properly rebuked Tuesday when Circuit Judge Eakin made an order dismissing all of the indictments against S. C. Morton, editor of the St, Helens Mist, who had in curred the displeasure of Metsker when he had sought to obtain the release from jail of another editor in his own county, who had been convicted on a charge of criminal libel. Metsker induced the grand jury to indict Mr. Morton on charges of embezzeling $68 from an es tate of which Morton was administrator, though an ac counting had never been asked by the county court. Judge Eakin promptly threw the case out of his court. Whenever a public official perverts the duties of his office, it is high time he should be removed by executive authority. No officer should be permitted to use the ma chienry of the law to gratify his personal giudges and to unjustly bring humiliation and annoyance to the family of him who is so unfortunate as to cross his official path. Mr, Morton, a former county judge, and for many years publisher of the only newspaper in the county seat, is a man who has done much in promoting the advancement of his own community. His word is as good as his bond and we congratulate him upon the prompt relief afford ed by a fair court.

Tax Commission to Give Figures Soon County Assessor Everhart stated" Monday evening that he was expect ing the valuation figures of property owned in this county by public service corporations would be placed in his han-?" by the state tax commission at Salem by December 10.
