An effort will now be made to reach an agree ment as the basis of "practical legislation" which will super sede the Adamson law and be satisfactory to all parties to the controversy. This conciliator' spirit is largely due to the fact that the trainmen are not content with the eight hour settlement and do not relish the strike regula tion with which congress is dis posed to supplement it On the side of the railroads it pro ceeds from a desire to back out of the quarrel which they wel comed last summer and to gain by adjustment of the wttfe 8nd hour schedule for all em ployees a decided increase in freight rates. With so many manifestations cf what seems like pure reason, h is possible that a compre hensive measure wiser than that hastily enacted in Septem ber may be evolved, but one important consideration must not be ignored. The Adamson law and the bills accompany ing it, not yet acted upon, as serted the rights of the Ameri can people in the matters at is sue. These rights are not now to be abandoned or compro mised. The time for that pass ed away when, in the presence of a deadlock that menaces the peace and prosperity of the country, government was compelled to assert itself. Capital and labor are al wavs to be encouraged when thev meet on common ground for the settlement of their dif ferences. Yet they are to be watched as closely when they harmonize in forgetfulness ol the public as when they quar rel in defiance of it.

"It is the victory of brains over heart, of intelligence over .sentiment and feeling," replied he Field Marshal with some thing that seemed like a sigh. "'We send thousands to death that tens of thousands may live. It is not easy, I can as sure you. We are not callous or unfeeling. It must be done, and we still our hearts.

A committee of three, Messrs Jackson, Cohen and Sturgis, has been appointed to confer with the O. R. A N.

At the regular meeting of the boari of trade last evening the following of ficers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, L. Blum: vice president, Dave Horn; secretary J. B. Eddy; treasurer, T. F. Rourkc The latter two were re-elected.

Umatilla had a city election on Dec. 5. A number of impressive look ing men had consented to accept thu offices and had waited, serene in th-i consciousness of their own worth, for the voters, male and female, to do the rest. The votes of the city were duly cast and counted and the results were offic!ally proclaimed. Then Mayor Starcher learned to hi vast astonishment that he had not been re-elected unanimously, as he had been expected to be, but that his wile had beaten him for the office by a considerable majority. Not only had a woman been elected mayor of Uma tilla but the Umatillans had voted four women into the city council and had chosen a woman recorder and a woman treasurer a clean sweep. The all-man ticket was mowed' under A combination of womae voftrs and railroad employes, it was discov ered, had swept the city on a plat form of economy and efficiency. The women of Uma;illa are saying: "Now we are going to show the men what a strictly business and economical ad ministration is." One bewildered in1 quirer, the husband of a newly elect ed alderwoman, reports: "From the best information we are able to ob tain the women were dissatisfied with the past administration, claiming Inef- The women did it in the following way, according to a male Umatlllan who has been talking to a correspond ent of the Portland Journal: "Yon see, the polls opened at 8 o'clock In the morning and were to close at 7 in the evening. Well, the women folk were busy at home with their daily duties in the morning and did not get out to vote till afternoon and it was about 2 o'clock that the whirlwind vote getting campaign started, and It ran like a cyclone till the polls closed and you know the result." Here is a peril Indeed. If man must be efficient In order to main tain his hold on government he will) have to wake up. and be quick about it.
