Card well's sorrel stallion King Kobr" won the one-mile dash over three other steeds, in the time of 1:17 which is remarkably good in view ol the fact that the track is very heavy.

The big event of th" fair occurs this afternoon, when the Coos county Derby will be run. The distance is one mile and an eighth, and King Kohr will probably hind first money in (his also, as the further the dis tance the better his chances of win ning.

ALTON S. FKKV & CO. Kinship of the Monopolist to the Highway Robber. Hy WILLIAM J. UU Y AN. INSIST that tho commandment "Tliou slinlt not steal" applies ns much to tho monopolist ns to tho highway man, mul wo shall not make any material progress in the protection of tho people from privato monopolies until wo nro prepared to obliterate THE LINE THAT-SOCIETY HAS DKAWX BETWEEN It THE On'WXARY THIEF AND THE LARGER CRIMINAL WHO HOLDS UP SOCIETY AND PLUNDERS THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF PRIVATE MO NOPOLY. The man who stands by tho waysido and, holding a rovolvcr to your head, demands your money or your lifo is no moro a criminal, measured by every moral standard, than tho man who, obtaining con trol of a nation's fuel, collects n tribute from every householder, offering him tho alternative of payment or suffering from lack of firo. It is entirely possible that very many of those who enjoy the benefits of monopoly some as managers, somo as directors and some merely ns stockholders nr.o unconscious of tho principle involved, UNCONSCIOUS OF THE MORAL CHARACTER OF THEIR CONDUCT, but surely this is an opportune timo to impress upon tho conscieneo of the nation the real moral character of tho conduct of tho monopolist. And it is not sufficient that we shall appeal to tho conscience of tho monopolist alone. If a highwayman wcro to engago a lawyer to follow a few rods behind him with a horso that he might have a ready means of esenpe after having committed an net of robbery, we would call the lawyer a party to (he crime and we would visit upon him the same punishment visited upon the principal in tho robbery, and so if some one living near the spot where the robbery was committed fur nislic.d the robber with a elmngo of clothing or, in return for a part of the booty, conspired with him to conceal the booty until suspicion was past, such n one could not osenpo legal responsibility for tho crime. it It AND YET IT IS CONSIDERED QUITE RESPECTABLE TODAY FOR THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF PREDATORY WEALTH TO VISIT STATE CAPITALS AND NATIONAL CAPITAL8 AND PREVENT THE ENACTMENT OF LAWS INTENDED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM PRIVATE MONOPOLIES, AND IT IS EVEN MORE RESPECTABLE FOR THE SALARIED ATTORNEYS OF THESE MONOPOLIES TO FOL LOW CLOSE AFTER THE OFFENDERS AND FURNISH THEM HORSES IN THE WAY OF LEGAL.

This merchant came here last spring, was charmed by city and vnl lev, impressed with the opportunities offered, and determined to enter the commercial! field. He returned, rented a storo and purchased his slot k. Refore tho stock arrived the anvil chorus began. The frailty of human nature Is such that sometimes a little discouraging talk will produce on sensitive minds, despondency, des pair and insniiMy. Iu this case there was no question "Whether 'tis nobler In the mind to suffer the stlugF and arrows ' Of outrageous fortune, or to take arms Against a sea of troubles, and, hy opposing End them." , There Is not hlng noble nbout It. The deed was the raising of the flag of surrender In the buttle of life and a showing of the while real her before the tight began. Only Insanity can explain this desire to flee from Imag inary troubles, I in I a touch needed to topple over the unbalanced reason was supplied by knockers, who, If they were lis tened to, would block all progress In Hie world. Those whose con versa Hon cannot rcfhvl a little of the sunshine the Lord has showered tin this pleasant valley, and whose thoughts are not tinged some with the faith and hope that the beautiful blue howl above symbolizes, had better keep still, lest tin seeds of discouragement they ruthlessly strew blossom Into blood stained immortelles to deck the grave of the suicide. The above Is taken from tho Med- ford Tribune and was an editorial on (lie suicide of Frank I. Nclkts in that city last week. The "knocker" Is generally a parasite, and, though to be regret ed.
