A DRAMATIC COURT SCENE
It would be a difficult matter to imagine a more
dramatic scene than that in the New York courts yester-
Those Smiths are tlevils among women." The re
doubtable John Smith, whose name will go down to
posterity along with that of Columbus and Washington,
set the example in this country when he made eyes at
Pocahontas so effectually that he was saved from being
knocked in the head by Poky's dad. Since that time the
name is in daily evidence in tales of gallantry. It re
mained, though for H. T. Smith, who is eiven the once
over by the reporter who told the story for the press, as
"me nusbanci oi the president ot the Fortnightly club,"
to add iresh fragrance to the name and bring further
fame to it. Of the great gathering of 20,000 women at
New York City, the occasion being the convention of the
National federation ot Women's clubs, this bold Smith
will be the sole man in the whole gathering, just one of
zu,uuu, and ne laces nis late cheerfully and says he will
attend every blamed thing just the same as though he
wore skirts.
The United States is doing some business with the
balance of the world. Our imports for the nine months
! &Ih". MS rllLI ending with March 31, 1915, were $1,213,613,64:;, and for
" X y ijVJn,u. IS HA Jllg
the same periods the exports were: for 1915, $1,89:5,659,
736; and for 1916, $2,949,166,3,35, a gain of more than one
billion dollars, lhe grand total of exports for the fiscal
year ending June 3,0, will, it is estimated, be more than
ly told the story of their last sickness and gave evidence
that, barring his escaping on the plea of insanity or some
thing of that kind, will go far toward sending him to the
electric chair. Her simple straight forward story, is in
itself not so much, it is the tragedy running through it
all, which she never suspected, but which presents the
cold blooded planning of her husband to murder her par
ents for their money more clearly than if told in words.
She told of her husband asking her to make her will, of
his objections to her leaving so much to her brother who
did not need it, and her story again showed the Mephisto
nhelian scheme to also murder her. It is not to be won
dered at that he sat with bowed head, and his gaze fixed
on the floor as the story of his crimes dropped from her
lips. The tragedies of real life, truly surpass those of
fiction.
$1,000,000,000. No country has ever before shown such
a tremendous volume of exports.
Because her husband drank gasoline, and planted
butter with the intention of growing more to meet de
mands due to war conditions, Mrs. Jenks, of Fresno, Cali
fornia, became doubtful as to his sanity and took steps
to have him examined. The fact that he drank gasoline
at 25 cents a gallon, and that too in California where beer
is available and much cheaper, should go far toward
establishing the correctness of his wife's suspicions.
It sounds like an echo of old Oregon days to read about
the trial of men for using the mails to defraud in connec
tion with the Oregon-California land grant. Seven were
placed on trial in San Francisco yesterday on charges of
this kind, and it is expected it will take eight weeks to
complete it. In Oregon it wrecked some political careers
and left unpleasant memories that will only pass with
the generation.

That was rather a queer accident in Oakland yesterday
when a laborer taken suddenly ill on the street, fell
against a police patrol box, breaking the door with his
head, and ringing an ambulance alarm. The ambulance
men found him lying unconscious at the foot of the brok
en box. Such a story told in fiction would have been con
sidered a pretty long stretch of the imagination. :
Another faddist bobs up in California, who wants pret
ty girls made court officers, so the minds of the judge and
jurors would not be excited and diverted from the case in
hand by dashing women done up in tailor made suits.
Just why the aforesaid minds should be attracted to pret
ty girl officers rather than the dashing would-be-,
divorcees, is not explained.
State Labor Commissioner Olsen, of Washingten, says
the year will be a prosperous one for laboring people.
There is already a shortage of labor in the logging indus
tries and the situation gives promise of becoming acute.
Employment bureaus say jobs have waited for days be
cause men could not be found to fill them. Labor, especial
ly in the Northwest, has had a couple of bad years, and
it is cheering news indeed that there will be employment
for all at remunerative wages.
California tobacco is to be exported to Australia. This
is good news, that is if it is all exported. It's safer for
the growers too, as the distance makes the chance of their
being killed by those who try to use it a remote possibility.
As a work of supererogation the placing of a sun dial
on the Willamette campus takes the record. An umbrella
and raincoat should be provided for the poor thing.

When I'm a man, unless he's dead, for all mv
grief and pain, I'll surely punch his old bald
nead, and split his face in twain." The years
passed by, and I became a man of famous
might; I had a great and stalwart frame,
my whiskers were a sight. And so I sought
that teacher out; I met him at his door, and
said to him, "I was, old scout, a pest in davs
of yore. When I recall the fiendish tricks I played, with
ribald glee, I wonder that you used small sticks when you
were pounding me. I was a wicked little dub. who riled

W. J. B. is not entirely shut out. It is said he has been
tendered the presidential nomination on the prohibition
ticket. T. R. has a party of his own up his sleeve and can
be an also ran, even though he falls down at Chicago. The
two might get on the same ticket and draw straws for
first place.
Municipal Judge Sabath of Chicago has laid down
certain rules for pedestrians to follow in crossing streets.
Among these is one that reads: "Don't cross the street
behind or in front of a car or automobile." At first blush
it would seem that this rule would make it rather difficult
to get across the street at all.
