ORE.. AUGUST 25... . 1911 After having been editorial chief of the Seattle Post Intelligence for sev en years, Erastos Brainerd has re signed. He will be succeeded by Soott C. Cone, one of the boat known journalists of Washington, D. U. Under Mr. Brainerd's gnidanoe the editorial page of the state of Wash ington's leading ropublioan organ has commanded a considerable following. There are various stories as to why Mr. Brainerd parted company with former U. 8. Senator J. L. Wilson, publisher of the P. -I. One of them is that he will head a new evening paper in Seattle. claim in tank and file. Tnrner Oliver of LaGrande is bis most formidable opponent for the nomination. Funeral direotois of the state of Washington are considerably exercised aboot what Judge Wilson R. Gay of King county, Washington, recently called the "tax on death." He was criticising, in his oapaoity as probate judge, exorbitant burial bills egainst small estates, to wbioh there were no heirs. In strong terms he indicated that there seemed to be some attempts to loot these estates. Resenting the Implication, the organized undertak ers ask that a special grand jury be summoned to investigate the situa tion. President Taft'a forthcoming visit to the Paoiflo Coast this fall is occa sioning a lot of political gossip. It is taken for granted that he will get the repnblioan nomination next year to suooeed himself. As a candidate, it is an unwritten law that a piesident must not tour the country; hence he may Be taking time by the forelook and coming ont this year. It is predioted that 75 cents per Jbnsbel will move the balk of the Uma tilla county wheat crop this year. Seventy cents is the best that has been offered by buyers to date, and only a few sales have been made at that price. The Man Eaters. It seems strange that bears, so fond of all sorts of flesh, running the risks of guns and fires, and poison, should never attack, men except In defense of their young. Only wolves and tigers seem to have learned to hunt man for food, and perhaps sharks and croco diles. Mosquitoes and' other insects would, I suppose, devour a helpless man in some parts of the world, and so might lions, leopards, wolves, hyenas and panthers at times if pressed by hunger, but under ordinary circum stances perhaps only the tiger among land animals may be said to be a man cater unless we add man himself. John Mulr in Atlantic. Professional Libeling Old England. According to General I'illet of France, the author of "L'angleterre vue a Londres et dans ses Provinces," published in 1815. wife murderers a hundred years ago generally went scot free in England. In this engag ing work the author says that "the murder of a married woman ly her husband is hardly recognized as a crime. If by some rare cliiiuce the guilty husband Is brought to justice ho Is fjound to lie ncquitted. This ac counts for the heavy death rate among women In Englaud. Most English men of fifty have been married at least three tlnfcSf?'? Pillet had been a prisoner of war in England and pub lished litis work In revenge. Jt was so full of libelous statements that it3 circulation was forbidden by the French government, and the few copies available brought very high prices. Apparently the English did not con sider the work very dangerous, as a copy was secured for the British mu seum. . Peach Day, held under the auspices of the Commeroial olub at Freewater yestorday was a suooess in every par tioular. There was a large crowd in attendance and the program was in terspersed with addresses by promi uent speakers. Sports blended diver sion in the day's prooeodings while peaohos and cream was served to sat isty the cravings of the inner man. Peach day has come to be a permanent aflair in the Freewator town, and each year the people of Umatilla county are pleased to aooept the cordial bos pitality extended them.

"And the voltaic current," continued tho lecturer, "was the discovery of Volta, and Its development is a com paratively recent achievement of sci ence." A still, small individual hoisted him self to n chair in tho rear of the hall. "Ilold on there, professor! What about tho earlier discoveries of Noah?" "I don't understand you, sir." "Then brush up!

An English actor tells a good story of the old days of the touring (Hup companies. They were at Oldham daying a melodrama called "Current Cash." One of tho properties essential 0 the piece was a light rowing scull, with which the hero had (o push him self off Into (he stream. When the company reached OUlham the oar was missing, but tho properly man prom ised to have one ready for the even ing's performance, says (he Pall Mall Gazette. That afternoon, with evident pride, he produced from the sacred re cesses of Ids room a real human skull, and when It was pointed out to him that It was hardly what was required he declared In haughty tones: "If that skull's good enough for 'Hamlet' it ought to be good enough for n piece llko 'Current Cash.
