STATE! lOL'SK, Salem, Ore, Fob. 38. It wns a groat day for jrmuo legislation. No loss than ton hills dealing with various kinds of gauio enmo up for consideration in thu wen nto and those, covered a wide range. Thoy ranged from tho protection of lobsters (those inliahiting waters) to bird refuges. First the sonato passed a hill to establish refuges for birds; this pro vides that tlio governor can sot aside lands near state grounds for bird re fuges and that county courts can lease tracts of land for the refuge of wild uniniuU and birds. These re serves are to be posted and have heavy penalty provided for thos6 invading them on iiiUsions of slaugh ter. Oliver wanted to know how tho birds would ho advised of these oitU's of refuge, and Beau o.phiined that tho birds quickly realize when there is u patch of ground which is safe and eilod the prexerveH of an Irish man near Eugene, where the hints fly whonover they arc purmied mid whuro the birds on the trad are al most perfectly tame. The bill is fathered by the Audubon Society.

Wntcli this plncsificationl A NEWSPAPER'S DUTY AM interesting libel suit has just been concluded in Hon olulu, Hinvaii. Jt is interesting inasmuch as Chief Justice Frear of the Supreme Court in deciding the case said: "It is a newspaper's duty and its right to draw infer ences from the facts known; to draw them for the people." Newspapers have rights and they have privileges; but they also have ditties, as Justice .Krear emphatically as serts. These duties are not negative; they are positive. To print the news is not merely a privilege or a right, but a public duty. This duty does not end with printing the news. To draw inferences from the news, to explain the news edi torially to the people is no less a duty than to print the news itself. No newspaper has done its full duty, under this decision, if it fails to print the news that the public has a right to know. No newspaper has done its full duty if it fails hon estly and courageously to explain this news to its readers and" help them to arrive at an intelligent understanding of it. Its work must be done without malice, but likewise must it be done without fear or favor. Justice r-Year is not content with saying to the news papers of the ceuntry: You may go thus far, but no farth er. His admonition is: Unless you go thus far you have failed in your public duty and shirked your public respon sibilities. There are man)' newspaper editors who could learn a valuable lesson in progressive, independent journalism from this able justice. Gridiron Club WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.--An epoch making conference here to night Mettled for all time, thu insur gent question, tho policy for control of the democratic house, the war seaie, Canadian reciprocity, and a few other minor things now bother ing the American citizen, including a distinguished resident of Oyster Hay. Tho "conference" was at tho an nual dinner of the famous Gridiron Hub. Stiii-s of Washington offic ialdom there beheld thcmselove.s as others saw them, and laughed at sal iric settlement of public questions by members of tho club. Distinguished members ot con gress, of official circles, of the bench the diplomatic corps and worth while citizens who came from far in the varnished cars, laid asido their en'e to reveal in a season of Gridiron car ryiugs-on. As usual, a pleasant time was had by all. It was a lumiuou'i success. The crowd assembled at the tables the lights were extinguished, a quar tette produced a welcome song, Presi dent V. Oiilahan welcomed, one and all, the iiery gridiron flashed vividly in the darkness; then the lights wore restored and things began to hap pen. Soon after the dinner was begun a member of the club entered and sug gested lo President Oiilahan that it was time that he inaugurated him self and made a few eloquent re marks. He was advised to do ii at once and save trouble, Oiilahan said that he was in already and thai there was no occasion for inaugura tion cermouies. "1 only wanted to save you troub lo," said the intruder. A crowd marched in with banner-, announcing that they composed the "committee on committee" and the chairman shouted that the presidents troubles hud arrived. "We are the president of this club," the chuirmaii ioutod, "a composite Champ Clark, and we want to be in augurated," "Fifteen men cannot provide at n dinner," exclaimed Oiilahan. "Fifteen men will preside over tin next house of representatives, wh, not Iihic?" was the i espouse. "Do ahead," said Oiilahan and i fight atarted, each claiming tin honor. Two member entered with n rtu reseutation of Champ Clark, tighll. bound with rope and one of tin guurda exclaimed: "This is a sumplc of what is in store for the president unless he yields to the committee on committees." "1 am exhibit A," mid the pseudo Champ. "Of what" wan asked. "Exhibit A." was the answer, "ot what a rules fight in one eougiv--can do to a perfectly good speaker in the uuxt." Two member entered escorting a pretended JitMuee. The man who had arrested him declared that he had iMM'foniiHd. oonapieuou service bv capturing a Japanese spy in the banquet room, lie yanked from un der I he arm of the upy a huge i til of maps and plans. Their diameter wan disclosed by various member of the committee. The plun allow allew ed: The hoitf in which conte an nually dumped a billion dollar.

A snapshot of Senator AMin'. in Grills Notables Florida was said to show, "then still one happy man in cougrcsH." Home one yelled that the .Jap was really an American in disguise. lie was divorstcd of his lniistncjic and kimonn and there was revealed a man in naval uniform that made ev erybody exclaim, "Its H. P. Iloh sonl" Asked what ho was doing there the psoudo llobson declared that ho was looking for Secretary of War Dick wisoii and that the Japanese disguise seemed appropriate as he was a Japanese war scare. For uncovering the Japanese war scare the committee was given the liberty of th c:ul. As the dinner was given near St. Valentino's day tho menu can's car ried mo valentine idea, Willi verses appropriate to notable guests. A giant member of the committee dress cd as ciipid distributed the cards and as ho delivered each card the verso was ready by a club member sitting beside tho victim. Another feature was the darkening of the room and picking out promin ent men with a spotlight. As each man's face showed in tho daz.ling light a short lecture as to his clmr acteristics was doliovcred by a mem ber of tho club. A third stunt showed a club mem her in Prince Albert and high hat passing through tho room and carry ing a large paper roll marked "Ko ciprooily agreement." lie was halt ed and asked the meaning of his presence. lie answered that the houso hud passed the reciprocity treaty and that he was carrying It lo the senate for action. lie went on hut had hardly passed the curtains when there was a firing of guns nml other tremendous noises. The man rushed hack with his coal in tatters, his silk hat crushed and the roll of paper in shreds. He was stopped and asked what happened. Dolefully holding up the torn paper he said. "The senate has acted on it." A member of the club announced that a delegation from the Saenger hitnd detdred to give the German Am bassador some instructions. Words to American institutions. The club man, after a few words of greeting, shouted au invitation for his German friends to enter and they responded with a lusty ",1a Wold." There were twenty of them with German caps ami wigs, A largo blackboard was displayed on the balcony and to the tune ol the "Sehniliolhnuin" the leader of the chorus pointed out pictures on the board. These included President Tafl, his "guter friend" the Kaiser, a suFfragelto, a fire engine mid oth er American products, oudiug with a picture of Col. K'oosevelt labeled "Schniekel Fritz." The Ambassador nmdo a speech and then ther was a song featun Its title was "The name of Willi" and the William featured were Taf. Bryan. Oaynor and Ilea rt. In m't tlio ditty ran: The great 0. 0. P.

An insurgent movement In tho club was developed when waiters arrang ed a long dinner table In tho space facing President Oiilahan. Three members of tho club entered and began discussing tho big time they had in prospect. Without giving any attention to an Intoruptlon by Oula ban, one of the intruders snld: "Tills will bo our greatest dinner." Oiila han threatened to have them thrown out by tho police and was told that ho would bo thrown out himself un less ho kept quiet. They announced that the insurgent wing of tho club would give a dinner tonight. Oiilahan said with surprise ho did not know there was an insurgent wing. "That's tho trouble with you stand patters," said an Insurgent, "you nev er do find out anything that's going on until somebody lilts you with an ax." Tho hotel manager was called In, but could not Interfere as ho had to admit that the insurgents had rented tho hall and paid iu advance Al though Oiilahan protested ho was finally quieted by an Insurgent threat to call tho police. Then tho Insurgent dinner started, In Imitation of tho real club, with tho ringing of a tiny dinner boll. Tho guests filed In under tlio leadership of a citizen wearing the uniform of a private soldier, Tlio crowd behind consisted of members made up to resoinblo Andrew Carnoglo, Repre sentative Janies A. Tawney, Speaker Cannon, Vice-President Shormnn, Senator Bovoridgo, former Vice-President Fairbanks ; and Speaker-to-be Champ Clark, Tho insurgent president welcomed them. Ho said that as the tyrant at tho head of the regular table con trolled tho llghtli ho could not turn them off and so he asked the guests to close their eyes a moment to pro duce imitation darkness and thou open them while ho disclosed tho In surgent emblem, It was a hatchet, "The Insurgents," said the presi dent," have but ono toast and, of course, that Is 'Ourselves.' " It was drunk standing. "Wo have with us tonight," he wont on, "a most noted advooato of peace a man who wants peace at any price and one who lias got tho prlco." The psoudo Carnoglo made a speech In which ho said that ho had but ono ambition, and that was to die "poor but advertised." Ho was against bat tleships, now that ho was out of tho inner date business. Ho declared that he had given away $0,000,000, which proved Rockefeller to bo pik er. In conclusion ho thanked tlio members and vnld that In his long as sociation with tho Gridiron club no member had ever betrayed his con fidence. "Wo have with us," said the pres ident, "still anothor advocate of peace except in the solitary ease of Albert ,1. IloveridKc. Charles W. Fair banks." Fairbanks' imitation said ho had attended many Gridiron dinners but none as Joyous as this. Ho was glad to say that la all his experience no member had ever betrayed his con fidence. Cannon asked "what would wo do without the Gridiron club?" and laud ed tho faith with which the members held his confidence. Tho Sherman representative also oxurcMcd his appreciation of tho steadfastness with which the mom- uors respected his confidence. Ueverldge's double said that in 12 years of public service ho had never lulssod an opportunity to make a speech ami hud often made speeches when there wus no opportunity. "I stand lor the uplift I am tho uplift." he said. He praised tho members of ithe club Iu keeping his confidence. Champ Chirk' roprosentat've made s witty speech aud repeated the words of the other Kpeakors about tho se crecy with which members hold speoche made at tho dinners. The Insurgent function closed with I ditty aloug this Hue: Solo When a landslide happens to slide our way, Clioius Tiuiis no place like homo. Solo You pack your grip and say "good day" Chorus There's no place like home. Solo Oh, Boverldgo said, "ain't it a shame!" Bone And Scott and Tawney said the same. Solo And we heard Tom Carter, too, exclaim: Chorus (in fierce discord There's no place like home. The dinner souvenir (was a foun tain pen adoriio'd with a sliver grid-Iron.
