It means that the fine system of checks and bol ancos cunningly devised by tlio framors of our federal constitution which haB withstood all previous attempts at usurpation of power Is to bo Junked. We uro about to navo put upon us a stroanillnod government, U.U ropcan stylo, with some extra apo dal American trimmings. people are no dlfroront now than they wd-o l'sft years ago. We have moro mechanical contrivances and are slightly more tolerant but ,qlb ervvtse the human of today is very similar to Iho human of Ceofgo Washington's tiino. Washington understood people and foresaw exactly what Is hap pening. In his farewell address he said: I "It Is Important, likewise, that the habits of thinking In a -free country should inspire eautlon In thoso Intrusted with Its administration, to confine .themselves within their respec tive constitutional spheres, avoiding In the excrolse of the powers of one department to enoroaoh upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments Into one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government,' a real despotism. A Just estimate of that love of power, and prone nes to abuse It whloh predom inates In the human heart, la suffiolent to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political pow er, by dividing and distribut ing it Into different deposltor j les, and constituting each the ' guardian of the public weal against invasions by the oth ers, has been evinced by ex-, perlments ancient and modern, some of them In our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be neces sary as to institute them. If, In the opinion of the people, the distribution or modifica tion of the constitutional pow ers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment In the way which the constitution designates, But let there be no change by usurpation; for, though this, In one Instance, may be the In strument of good, It Is the cus tomary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly over-balance In per manent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield."

N ell, n Milt talked about himself like this ail the time, It was no wonder. The only wonder was that Ibis wife had stuck it for seven years. A faint, hysterical giggle escap ed her. She turned toward mm in consternation, hoping he hadn't noticed. And then she saw that he had his head in ills hands. "Is there anything the matter? Milt, is there anything 1 can do? Tell me!"

I certainly saw plenty ot evidence that now that tho gillnetB wore not being used in the bay and tidewaters, plenty of salmon were passing up the Rogue and wero Jumping and playing iu great numbers in the pools and rapids above tidewater, Just as the stcelhcads always hr.d neon. So it was plainly not pollution or any thing of the sort that prevented those salmon from passing up the stream while tlie gllineta were In operation, and exactly tiie same is true of tho Unipqua. if these salmon WERE Increas ing iu the lower Umpqua it woutd merely mean . a correspondinc In crease in tne number ot giilnets op erating there. Tho revenue from Buch fishing does not, us has been shown, amount to a sufticicut . sum to carry on tno propagation activities at tne c'mpqua sannon hatcr.eiy, wnicn so lur as 1 know propagates but one upeclos of tne comrieiciul tisu tney take and Is many times less than would be required to stock the Unipqua propel ly witn mat ono species, t.ie ' cniuooU sal mon, i in the niattur of closing the Umpqua, 1 cannot see tue wisdom of liurouueing a bill in the legisla ture to close tue streams to com mercial fishing. Why not just gillnet fishing and avoid as niucn opposition us pos sible? There is no other commercial salmon fLhfng iu tue Umpqua, so Ina result would o exacli tne bame in ease of passage ut tue bul. Tlio snail Hsuing with ulfiuel und the crab l'isning villi uoop nets, traps, et-., are commercial flsning, and although the bill might exempt them, the majority of tile people would not be aware of tlio lact. Then there is tlie troll fishing at the mouth of the Rogue that has iinally replaced the gill nets. I seo no just reason to eiim-. Inato that. Those trailers are per mitted sale of no more than three salmon per day, or ten iu any sev en consecutive days. The gillnet fishermen are mak ing every effort to make it appear that tho rivers' closing bill Is just an effort to deprive a lot of poor ueonlo of their means of livelihood merely to provide sport for wealthy people, and far too many people are of lhat opinion already, where as, if a bill were so worded as to nrovldo Unit thoso fishermen and all others along tlio stream were to bo given equal privileges, such as wore the people ot tho lower Hogue after tlie closing of thai stream to gillnet fishing (the privi lege of sule of the uuglers' legal catch).

Edi. tor News-Review: Senate bill No. 31, which passed the Oregon sen ate, opens commercial fishing sea son on the Colunihlu river 10 daya earlier and extends it ten days ov er und above the present season. This will ruin last great runs of salmon. Seldom do these runs last over a week. Present seasons we May 1 to Aug. 25. and Sept. 10 to March 1. Not only will It deatroy last great runs ot salmon in tho Coluiuhiu river hut It will destroy all snorts recreation tor salmon. It will destroy to u great extent the last heritage of tho lndlaiiB who fish at Celilo falls, uoiumuia river; at Shearer'B fans, uescnuies river, and other places. . iinuuuiiy hundred.: of lndlaiiB gather at these placos In spring and fall. I do not think we have tho right to destroy these last runs of salmon, the recreation of thousands ot peo ple who fish for salmon for sport, and the last heritage left to the In dians on this coast. The .entire Wild Life -Councils of Oregon and Washington aro behind me. Neither desire tills bill lo pusu. It must be stopped in the houso. Will you use all your influence iu your district and instruct your rep resentative at once to vole "no"? Commercial packers ucsire mu bill. Union fishermen are backing it up only under protest, iib they know what it will do to the lost runs of salmon. No emergency exists, as this bill says It does. Will you got busy on this at once? All organized clubs should work together for tlie general -welfare of all. In your efforts to close coastal streams, we are certainly with you, but wo must all work together,- not separately. H you have any prob lems, let me know and I will cer tainly see that they get ,to all oth er clubs in this district. Sincerely, J. G. BECK, Prescott, Ore. Oregon Wild Life Council, Dist No. 6.

We all have many helpers along the wny ot life, ami we ought not to fail to appreciate anil to use them all, but wo must never forget that God Is our helper above all and every one else, and not to make full use of Him is stupidity past forgiving. A turning to Him will bring us courage and strength and peace that we cannot get from any other source no matter how good our frieuds or life may be to ns. The psalmist had great 'Joy in Ihe fact that the God to whom lie turned was the God who had made the heavens lind the earth. We come. to Theo, our Heavenly Falhor, as to one who, out of Thy great fullness can supply all our need, speaks to us the word that will strengthen us with courage and devotion and bless our going out, and coming in from this time furth and forever more.
