THE LAW'S DELAY.
"The law's delay,
The insolence of office,'
enumerated by Hamlet as among the causes justifying a
man's making his own quietus "with a bare bodkin," arc
as bad today as in Shakespeare's time, and the following is
as good a description of some office-holders as it was in
the days of good Queen Bess :
Clothed in a little brief authority,
His fussy essence, like an angry ape,
Cuts such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep."
The National Tribune, published in "Washington, D. C,
in the interest of the old soldiers, comes out with a bill
which it offers congress as an amendment to the present
pension act. The proposed bill provides that old soldiers
who have reached the age of 62 years be given a pension
of $15 a month; 65 years, $20 per month; 70 years, $30
per month ; 75 years or over, $40 per month. All classes of
veterans are recognized except Indian fighters. If in
troduced, the bill should be amended to include the latter,
to whom the country owes as much or more than it does
to Mexican or Civil war veterans. Certainly Oregon owes
more to the Indian war "veterans, than to either of the others.

Commander Peary has again shown his littleness, this,
time by sending broadcast over the country a map show
ing what he claims is Dr. Cook's actual route in the frozen
north. A dotted line shows "Dr. Cook's alleged roitte."
On the map is written, "Correct copy from original by two
Eskimos." It is rather anmsing to learn of Eskimos ac
quiring the art of map making. Peary has time and again
proved himself so incapable of fair play and square deal
ing that suspicion is raised regarding the genuineness of
his own discovery.
The narrow-minded partisanship and unfairness of
the Portland Oregonian is again shown in its treatment of
Brvan during the latter's visit to' Portland. Although
Bryan came as a private citizen, the Oregonian had not the
courtesy or decency to treat him fairly. He is misquoted
in interview, villified in editorial, and minimized in news
columns. Yet Bryan's visit was a continuous ovation and
he evoked ten times the enthusiasm that the president of
the United States had evoked a few days before.
