XARFIA FAILINGS
WILL HELD VALID
Mrs. Xarifa Faling was of sound
and disposing mind and capable in
all respects of making a will on .Au
gust 26, 1915, and she did on that
date make & will, "of her free and
voluntary act, disposing of her es
tate, whic his valued at approximate
ly $500,000. This la the gist of a de
cision given by Circuit Judge Staple
ton Friday. I . ;-4 ii .
' The court finds "that at the time of
making the will, Mrs. FaJJng, was not
acting under the undue Influence or coer
cion- of any person whomsoever, and that
"said will was in all respects legal and
binding and that the same should be
confirmed as the last will and testament
of Xarif a J. Faling, - deceased, and it
is so ordered. - ( s
: Mrs. Faling died in Portland on July
5, 1917. Her only known relative was a
first cousin, W. Tyler Smith, then re
siding at Sheridan, Or. The will was
offered for probate on July 9. 1917, be
ing dated August 26, 1915, and the contest
was Instituted by W. Tyler Smith on
August 23. 1917.
He charged that Mrs. Faling ; was
mentally incompetent, and that coercion.
duress and undue influence was exer
cised upon her by C. L. Mead, with
ethers, to obtain the execution of the In
struments purporting to be her last will
and testament.
Lewis Mead and Thomas N. Strong
were the beneficiaries under he will.
Both were friends of Mrs. Falinf for
many years.- f : "
Judge Taswell, then county judge, held
the will to be a valid one. Appeal was
taken to the circuit court. It was stated
Friday, after Judge Stapleton's opinion
had been handed down, that an appeal
will be taken to the state supreme court.
Since the contest was begun W. Tyler
Smith has died, and the litigation "has
been continued at the Instance of his
hflrs, the principal ones being his sons,
William Tyler Smith and William Thur-
low Smith of Los Angeles, CaL
COHT&ABICTIOKS RECALLED ;
Judge Stapleton recalls that numerous
witnesses testified that Mrs. Faling was
wholly Incompetent-from some time in
1909 to the time of her death and that
they declared her incapable of making
a will or doing any other kind of busi
ness requiring mental effort during that
period. He said their evidence was also
to the effect that Mrs. Faling was in
capable mentally of making a will be
tween 1911 and June 6, 1914, but. that
they were : "staggered and -, their opln-

poll of 11,000,000 voters, and the influence that the results may have upon the Republican presi

8TBOITO DECLARED LOTAL
Discussing the service of Thomas N.
Strong, for 40 years attorney for Mrs.
Faling, Judge Stapleton said that he
performed his duties with remarkable
fidelity and that nothing appeared to
indicate that he ever entertained the
idea that he would finally become a
beneficiary.
"Mrs. Faling was alone in the world,"
says the judge. "Her friends were
those who had become such during her
struggles in Portland. : She was under
no obligations to anyone but Mr. Strong.
She owed no duty to any living person
as she regarded it- Her desire was that
her estate should -grow; that it should
not be squandered and frittered away.
and she naturally cast about to secure
someone whom she .could feel confident
would carry out her deso-es.
Mr. Mead was the one who most nearly
filled the requirements. ' Mr.
Strong was in failing health. To Whom
could she turn? To whom would she
most likely turn? 1 think that Mead
was the logical one for her to call In."
The close friendship between Mrs. Fal
ing and Mead is reviewed, and the
statement continued : "Can It be said
that the will is unnatural ? What is
there In the nature of the circumstances
that would cause you to change it even
now? There is no evidence of undue
influence." !

To act officially in affairs of government, to administer public laws nl
ordinances, a .man must have been duly elected or appointed and must have
qualified as the law provides. If there be but the shadow of doubt as to hi a
legal competency, his acts, say as president, senator, governor. Judge or mayor,
are almost sure to be challenged; and, if bis claims toaauthorlty be inv&ii i,
his so-called official acts are Justly pronounced null and void, whU , the
quondam pretender may be liable to severe penalty.
-In like manner .' authority to administer the ordinances of the Gospel
Jesus Christ must be. definitely vested through personal conferment-as
law of God prescribes,
. "Asd se mas taketB this noaor asto nhntelf, est he that It called of Cod,
ai was Aaros." (Heb. 6:4.)
Aaron was called and set apart to the priestly office by revelation fro
God through Moses, and retributive punishment fell upon all who e8ye.-l to
minister without authority in the priest's office. Consider the awful fata c f
Korah and his associates (Num. 16), the instance of Usslah, king of Judaii (2
Chron. 26), and, in New Testament times, that of Sceva's sons (Acts lit), ail r f
whom brought upon themselves condign penalty for blasphemously arro..U..j;
the right to officiate in the name of the Lord.
How great a lesson is writ for warning and guidance in the history, of F.r 1,
king of Israel. He had received his anointing under the hand of Kamucl i
prophet. On the eve of battle, when Samuel delayed his coming to oC. r
sacrifices for victory. Baul presumptuously officiated at the altar, fail1"? t
realise that, king though he was, his royal authority did not empower h...i t
serve even as a deacon in the household of God. His sacrilege was one of tLa
principal causes that led to his rejection by the Lord.
