(Adr.) Fifteen shots were fired In an argument over liquor In Breton last week, and only a gold tooth was struck, thereby showing that the men were full of their sub ject, as the Hlcksrllle Times would remark. Woman Jurors Bill Last of the measures to be voted upon at the referendum election Tuesday is, the women jurors and revised jury law, whose purpose is defined as follows: To permit women to serve as jurors; to provide a special notice by wbich women may release themselves from jury service; to require the names of Qualified Jurors to be ascertained from the latest tax roll and registration books and any other sources of official informa tion; to require the proportional selection of jurors to be made from the registration books as well as from the assessment roll; to require at leaBt one-half of the trial jury to be women in criminal actions involving a minor under eighteen years of age either as defendant or complaining witness. As to the general proposal that women as citizens are en titled to serve as jurors there can be little dissent. There is no reason why they should be discriminated against and none why they should be entitled to special favor. If women want to serve as jurors, they should be subject to the same treatment as men. . Jury duty is a disagreeable duty for the average man and why women should desire it, is beyond comprehension, ex cept perhaps to emphasize their newly acquired political equality. The proposed law, however, permits preferential treatment and emphasizes sex. It includes the following provision : Any woman desiring to be excused from jury service may claim exemption by signing a written or printed notice thereof and return ing the same to the sheriff before the date for appearance, and if ex emption is so claimed by reason of sex no appearance need be made in answer to said summons; provided, that it shall be the duty of the person serving any summons for jury duty to inform every female person so served of this provision and to furnish her with a written or printed blank on which to make such claim for exemption. The measure also provides that in criminal actions in which minors under 18 years are involved, that at least half the jury shall be women which carries the inference that women are best qualified to pass' upon youthful criminals. Perhaps but since when has sex been an essential of judg ment? And if for youth, why not for maturity? The facts of the matter is that the average woman has enough grief without having jury duty imposed upon her and the demand for jury duty comes principally from club women who have little else to occupy their time and want the privileges without the compulsion of citizenship. never heard any one complain. If this country had half the booming spirit of the California, Uhi.si country would, develop. The lack or market for Califor nia orranges and lemons, Mr. Biggs explained, was due to the present high freight rates which made it impossible for the grow ers to ship their fruit to the At lantic coast and'eompete with the fruit shipped across the ocean from southern European countries. Ignore the Politician Oregon senators are apparently wasting a great deal of time and energy over distribution of federal patronage lor the state. There are some half a dozen offices that may be considered worth the having, and the only public interest in the suoject is that men capable of efficient management be appointed. Such men are rarely applicants for public office. Politicians are of course very much concerned but the tax payer is not at all disturbed. In fact, if the senators ignore the whole tribe of self-seeking political hacks and name capable men not identified with politics or politicians, there would be wide-spread public approval. The approval or disapproval of politicians is the last thing that should worry the senators. As for the people, they are far more interested in the reduction of taxation, elimination of waste and restoration of prosperity than in whether Tom Jones or Dick Brown gets federal office. Th Anti-Saloon Leacrue. with which CountyJudge Bushey made a secret contract turning over the police powers of the county is apparently not content with the $996.0 paid tnem w tilflir ilWal raids and want the county to put up addi tional funds. There is no satisfying the rapacity of the league. The more it gets, the more it wants and it constantly clamors for more. The president of the state bankers association wants to abolish the initiative as a constant source of worry and trouble over freak measures. The people who object loudest to its abolition are those that never vote at primary elecions. Albany Takes Weird Game From Locals What might otherwise have been a passing fair exhibition- of baseball suddenly developed into a weird comedy of errors and pre miscipush hitting in the eiggt frame and finally terminated in a 10 to 8 victory for the visitors, when the Salem Senators and Al bany staged their 11-lnning seas sion at Oxford Park yesterday af- kternoon.. After a few spasmodic breaks in the early innings, both teams settled down the 4 to 4 score in the seventh for a few minutes held promise of early relief for the fans. Sdnimers however started the fireworks again in the ninth with a homer over the right field fence, whi,ch would have ended the ses sion but for a lucky drive into the same garden by Holmes In the last half of the same canto. The ball hid itself in the weeds while "Ducky" circled the sacks. In their half of the tenth th Albanyites clotted Berg hard and arfnexed" three more, but with Babb delivering in the placed of Coleman for the visitors the Sen ators also slammed out a bevy of safe ones and tied the score. Although the Senators placed their first two men on the sacks in the last of the eleventh, they were unable to even up the two run lead secured by Albany in the first half.

Better Umpiring Needed To Retain Interest of Fans By "Spike" With the Senators presenting a very creditable brand ot the national pastime In most of their games on the Twelfth street lot. there remains only one unfilled need to clinch the support of local fnns and Insure the success of the venture efficient and capable umpiring. Such exhibitions of officiating as marked the contest between Salem and Albany yesterday, and other similar oecurances In prev ious games, coupled with the in cident wrangling and delay of the games while players and officials exhibit their vocal proclivities, arc doing more to kill Interest in the gamc. here than anything else could. Ksns paying their money to see baseball games are not bargaining for seats at an oratorical contest or a star session of a debating society. Along with a docent display of baseball they also demand some thing better than sand-lot officia ting. Contrasted with the capable work of Umpire Rankin, who pres ided over balls and strikes yester day, the inefficiency o t Umpire Martin on the bases was little short of a crime. Martiu's ability to sleep on the job and his inability to handle the demonstrations growing out of his errors in "judgement" were two of the prize chapters in Sun day's Oxford Park comedy. A.. R. H.

"I may have a sense of humor," said Bab with a sigh, "but I have demonstrated many times that it is the kind -no man understands." Just then the nurse brought me the baby, and, having had my cof fee, I picked up my letters and laid them beside the bed. After playing a while with His Adore- ibleness.

Just as I finished, I heard a great commotion down stairs and I remembered that my brother Bart had been expected with Lar ry Wheaton. I hadn't seen Bart since the baby came, and I had never seen Larry as he was one of Bar'- college friends. I had not Ik ome when he had visit ed us before. 1 listened for a moment to see if Bart was coming directly to my room, and I confess I felt a little hurt as the moments passed. well, I won't see very much of them," I said to myself. "In fact, I probably won't see very much of I!au while the boys are here. They will be running around with all the young people in the neighbor hood having a gay time." I began to feel a little sorry lor myself. I bean to grieve for something. something it seemed to me that I had never had. I be gan to feel a little cheated. Life had not been fair with me. Life owed me something which not nald. I was still vounc. and o all kinds. yet it seemed to me that every one was saying, "Your days of good times are over." All that I had to live for now was the baby. As usual, thoughts of little Hal ban ished every cloud and to realise my joy I rushed Into the room where he was sleeping. Just as 1 did so I heard the boys coming up the stairs. "Bab, Bab, where are you?" EXCURSIONS LET'S GO Corvallis, Or.

On the Hot Iron. The Word of a Friend. Plenty of Good Habits. AN EDITORIAL ON BUYING MAN is a creature of habit. Some of his habits- are good and some of them are bad. Most of them are good, because the human animal is so delicate an organism that there has to be a republican majority of good habits to keep him going. In fact, good habits are not only an economy of effort making it possible to accomplish more with less attention and less effort of the will they are also the fundamental presup positions that make life at all possible. The heart has a good habit of pumping blood without your having to think about it. The lungs have a good habit of supplying the system with oxygen. The nerves have a good habit of sending in stantaneous messages to the brain about what is happening to you. The nerves have such good habits that when they send the message to your brain that your hand has touched something too hot they do not wait for the General Staff in your head to call a conference of your numerous impulses and inhibitions to determine whether or not to remove the hand from the hot object. Your nerves have a habit of sending back a message about' what to do right away. The same thing holds true of' affairs on a higher plane. A man keeps his contracts, pays his bills, supports his family, votes, and goes through all the ordinary actions of daily life as a citizen and civilized human being because he has these good habits, and he leads a good life when he has good habits. A man buys largely as a matter of habit. He buys at a place he likes because he is well treated and he finds the values satisfactory More likely than not, the word of a friend or the printed word of a friendly advertisement got him there to begin with. And the store where he buys lets him know about any special sales of stocks, pleasantly and effectively, because they have the habit of tell ing him such things through their advertising, and he has the habit of noting what they say because he has the habit of reading advertise ments with interest and confidence. The American people are a friendly- good natured race. While we have enough bad hab its, we also can look ourselves over impartially and see that we have some good ones. Pre-eminently characteristic of us is our ha bitual interest in and appreciation of advertis ing. We know that thia. interest u a good habit because we know what it can do and has don for every one of us. Advertising itself is a good habit la fact, advertising and reading adrtrt" are two of the best American habit!
