- THE MAN LANDIS.
The eyes of the entire nation have
Un opered tj the quiet and dignified
iiard taken by Federal Judge Landis
in the handling and final disposition of
the government's great case against the
world-wide monopoly of the Standard
Oil ('omtaD. The assessment of the
tremendous fhe of a score and a half
millions cf collars against this octopus
for proven guilt in its dealings with the
people, was net the sole ieature of the
great judicial engagement but sinks
into coparative significance before the
splendid courage and honor of the man
who was pitted, irresistably, against the
accumulated and brilliant forces ar
rayed to defend the gigantic and pow
er 1 11 1 defendant who knew the vast
and voluminous interest that was being
taken in the course of the trial and the
far-reaching effects of his appraisement
of its issues who boldly, yet honestly,
weighed the delicate balances of the
law in all its ramifications, and manfully
sifted each grain of it, good and bad.
and stood fast for the dignity of that
law, and the rights of the people, in
every phase and feature of the adroit
and interminable arguments who
bravely did his utmost duty when he
had found the residium of guilt and evil
and levied a fine that made the very
world catch its breadth in astounded
gratification an the realization that, for
once, in American history the law waa
made to mean something. Tee man
Landis evolved the peerless Landis

ASTORIA'S NEW STATUS.
Astoria, the City-by-the-Sea, by rea
son of her peculiar position on the map
of Oregon, was, for years, practically
snubbed as an outlying point and "not
in it" with the cities and towns that
hovered close to the beaten commercial
highways of the state, and was never
reckoned with the justice that was due
a city of her size, location and wealth.
But since she has cinched herself up to
the great arteries of commerce with a
railway of her own organizing, this con
temptuous idea has been abandoned, and
she has come into promiaenca and con
federation all over the northwest,
Her magnificent qualities; u a perfect
seaport have been recognized and are
about to be utilizied by one of the lead'
ing transportation interests of the coun
try and she will soon swing into line
as among the important centers of Or'
gon and the Seagate of four states.
Immense businesses will accumulate
within her radius of influence in re
sponse to this entry of the Hill lines,
and time will swiftly apply the enor
mous and useable agencies and sources
oC supply with which she is equipped;
The day of negation has passed, and the
day of realities and activities is dawning
brightly for the town and port so long
submerged in the over-shadowing im
portance of her neighbors.
Her people have wisely put her Cham
ber of Commerce on a footing of practi
cal and generous service, and the work is
being forcefully and intelligently done
to make her future alignment certain
and conspicuous; nes business men are
alive to the issues confronting her. and
are lending busy and helpful hands at
all times and points ber press is ar
dent and faithful and voicing her wants
and demands and hopes with unceasing
and convincing argument tons of litera

JACK THB SMEARER.
Man Who Has Crazy Notion of Smear

IXDIAXAPOLIS, August 7. After
more than three years' search by the
police, "Jack the Smearer," who has
mined hundreds of party gowns, is
under arrest and has made a full con
fession, the police say. He is an enigma
to the police for he has been an art
student who appears to aspire to better
accomplishments. He ia William R.
Gadd 30 years old and he can give no
reason for his acts. As some women
were getting on a car late last night a
stranger drew his hand from his pocket
and threw something on one of the
gowns. The officers grabbed the strang
er and found they had the man they had
been hunting for.

CHICAGO, August 7. While nursing
her dying son, George, who was suffer
ing from rabbles, the result of a dog

a week ago and Vance Davis, a brother,
was bitten and scratched about the face
and hands. They are now undergoing
treatment in Chicago.
The child died in great agony a few
hours after M. Davis was bitten. The
attending physicians became .frightened
at the possible results of the bites and
yesterday afternoon brought both the

Their universal cry is that "they want
to get somewhere that a lot of busy
bodies and knockers can't pick at them
every time they move. What they want
is license to do wrong without being
criticised for it. A few days ago I ran
into an interesting specimen. He was
a nice, clean lookng boy. evidently all
right morally, but on the verge of nun.
He was coming from a small city near
Chicago into the city, looking for work.
He had been deeply wronged and w.is
sore on his town.
"I'm just running up looking for a
job," he said.
"That so, what line?'
"I've got a couple of frienjs with the
Adams Express pulling for me. Maybe
I'll land there. I was looking for
something with the Rock Inland, but it's
i.rettv hard to get in there."
'Pv ant a ifib.' he continued after N
time. 'Trvtty good job and the work
im't hard. I et off any time I want
to and they don't dock me. Sometimes
I'm gone two or three days, sometimes
loncer, and come back expecting to be
docked, but they never take it out of
my pay.''
"Pretty easy, eh?"
"Well, I should say, I got off this
time, and if I get the job in Chicago I
won't go back at all."
"Will that be treating them right?"
"Sure, they never did anything for me.
They wouldn't hesitate to kick me out
if some one else they wanted eame
alona. Why should 1 let them know?
Besides, I wont change unless l g
more money. So I don't tell them I'm
looking for another1 job."
"Say," he remarked atter a snort si
lence. "Ain't it fierce the way some
neoole knock a youna fellow? There
ain't any chance in my town. Some
one's always knocking. Fellow can't do
anything but they spread it all around.
I want to get some place where a fel
low can have a little fun without every
body talkin'. Chicago for me."
"But," I remonstrated, "Chicago isn't
big enough for you to do wrong and get
away with it. Even if no one reports
to your firm your own worn win snow
that you've been having fun, as you
call it."
"That's so," he agreed. "But it alnt
like my town. Why, a fellow hasn't a
chance. Just the other day I went up
and applied for a job with the Blank
company. And they wanted references.
What do you think of that? Of course,
I can get references, but I didn't have
any with me. I told them I was ready
for work. My brother works there,
and be asked the boss about it and the
boss said: "O, he doesn't want work.
He's too sporty.' What do you think of
that?"
"I think perhaps they're on to you."
"You do, eh? Well, the trouble is
some one has been knocking, JuBt be
cause I had on a gray hat and coat, and
a nice tie, they knock,"
"Maybe they'd heard about your run
ning off three or four days."
"I'll bet they had. Some one's al
ways knocking. That town's on the
bum, anyhow. Mayor put it to the bad.
What do you think? They wanted to
pinch me for shooting off a revolver on
the Fourth."
"I think you ought to have been
pinched."
"Is that so? Say you're knockin',
too. But that mayor is a bum. He was
elected by a big majority, and the first
thine? hA did w&a to betin throwing town

217 Aitor St., Astoria, Ore.
"Is that so? I thought he wa mak
ing a good mayor. I heard he'd re
formed the police and fire departments."
"Yes. He put young fellows in and
they're hustling. He wa all right un
til he got to throwing down his friends.
Now they've all turned on him."
"Whom did he throw down!"
"O, lots of the fellow. He's rotten.
He' got the swelled head. He was all
right at first, but now"
"But whom did he throw, down?"
" "Well, lot of the fellows. I was
n't looking for anything from him. 1
worked hard for him because 1 wanted to
see him in. Primary day I got out a
rig and worked all day, hauling people
to the polls. I wa-n't expecting any
thing, but they paid me 5. Well, It
came along and I took an examination
and tried for a job in the engineering
department, I paed, but what do
you think he appointed another fel
low. I ve heard he was lviaieu 10
mayor. That a nice way to throw
down a freind .isn't it?"
Yes, that's pretty tough. But, then,
politic i a bad game."
"You Iwt it is. A leuow goi u r
pretty rotten to go into it. Say. may
lie you ran help tne to find a job in Chi
cago." The train wjs approaching the sta
tion, so I remarked: ".No. I coiimn i. aim
I wouldn't if I could. You're jut an
other one of thoe cheap country town
would-be sports. Your own town is
on to you, all the. decent people who
know von despise you. and il they give
you work it is simply beacuse of your
mother or father. I know your tye
inside out. You're a bom loafer. Your
father bas got you probably 20 jobs
since you were in school. You've
thrown him down, you've loafed .neglec
ted your work, and generally showed
yourself worthless. You'd rather put
on a nMihy suit of clothes, borrow enough
money t0 buy a few drinks, and then
stand out in front of a hotel and ogle
the girls who pass, than work.
"And you're coming to Chicago be
cause they won't stand for you at home.
You'll find Chicago won't sUnd for you
half as long. You'll get kicked out ami
either became a bum or sneak liaeK nonio
and go to work to rebuild a reputation
you've thrown away. You're a nice,
clean-looking lad, and you're making a
big mistake. Get on the next train, go
back home, talk it over witn your iam-
er, and tell .him you're ready to go to
work in earnest, and you may make
something worth while out of yourself.
If you stay here you'll be one of those
street corner bum howling about cheap
foreign labor coming in and driving you
out of work."
For a minute or two he glared at me
as if he was going to try and fight.
Then he looked out of the window. The
train was running into the station. '
"Come to lunch with me," I suggested.
"Naw I'm going to look up a friend,"
he replied, surly and mad.
"Well," I remarked, "you needn't be
sore about it. I've told you the truth
about yourself and I'll bet right now
you'll admit it is true, even though you
want to lick me for telling it."
"You're another of them knockers,"
he saiil
"All right let it go at that. It's none
of my business, but you insisted on
knowing what I thought. Drop up at
the office and see me when you have
time."
So we parted. Three days later he
came into the office,
"Say," he said, " I don't want to bor
row any money. I told my aunt part
of what you said and she agreed with
you. Father came up Sunday and we.
had a talk. I'm going back home with
him. He told me to come up and thank
you, and tell you he would like 'for you
to come down and go fishing with us
some Sunday. Dad's all right and
we've got a nice place.
I'll bet that boy turns out all right
yet.
