It Is one of the marvels of ihe age that the two cities of the world claim ing the highest civilization New Tork and Paris have pushed Dodge Cltr, Nome, Flagstaff and frontier places off the map as homicide cen ters. ' Most of these towns are now peaceful spots where the six-shooter so longer promotes the private grave yard. Texas, the land of Colonel Bowie and Davy Crockett, sends men to jail for gun-toting, playing cards or drink ing In public. Murder hag moved to the great cities, particularly to New York. Where policemen and couru are most numerous, where crime should be least, murder walks abroaJ by daylight, as it never did in tiie mining town, safe for brief perlq-K The cause? It lies in the kind oi government New York has for so Ion been cursed with. Crime ' attrac's criminals. A criminal class breeds and multiplies. No community wants such conditions. New York does. not. But New York Is not a self-governing community. For generations . our greatest city has been held helpless ii: the grip of two corrupt machines the upstate Republican machine, and the Tammany crowd in the city. Both , have been machines of criminals. Not murderers, but followers of the game of big graft. The loot has been tl.e streets, the wharves, the franchises and contracts of the state and the city.

The shop people In London are. In the avernpe. both stupid and rude; th supposedly well bred people in Hyde park, if a hapless vagabond were to come to them for information, would be either insolent or unintelligible; the policeman, however, seems invariably polite, wonderfully well informed and furnished with English that Is not nearly so atrociously cockney as that of those who fnncy themselves bis bet ters. "Vagnboud Journeys, the Human Comedy at Home and Abroad," by Per clval Pollard.' J. W. Bush, who resides In I Grande, has demonstrated that a first class apricot will grow here. He baa a tree In his yard that yields each year apricots of exceptional size and Savor. In fact, they are the largest apricots we have ever seen from any locality. This, along with the many other good things that grow In the Grande Ronde convinces one there Is no such valley elsewhere !n the coun try. It would be well for the fruit risers to take an Interest in the Bush apricot production for It may mean another commercial fruit for this section. An Explorer's 8tratagom. ' Sir Harry Johnston, the famous ex plorer, once escaped from a very tight corner in Africa by a queer stratagem. A score or two of murderous natives bad surrounded bis tent, into which before rushing It they sent an envoy. The envoy wus told the smallpox wag in the camp, and a wretched Albino was sent out as the awful example. In five minutes the scared tribesmen had vanished.
