J. R. Sovereign, tho noted labor
leader, who is now editing tho Ma
Jio Slate Tribune, at Wallncc, linn
in tlit! lust iMimlxT of his paper an
ixceedinirly interesting article on
"What Anarchy Hcally In." Mr,
Mr. Sowign wan formerly general
nianlcr workman of tho Knights of
Lttlmr. II is convinced that the
assunination of President McKinley
wan culmination of a villainous
plot, lie cays:
"Th cowardly assassination on
the life of President Mckinley, re
calls to the writer hereof, many of
his experiences with anarchists
during his long connection with
tho lulior movement. We do not
wish to infer that tho anarchist
organizations in America comprise
any part of the lahor movement
nor that either their ineml-ers or
their organization ever gained any
ptar.ding or recognition among the
lahor organizations of the country,
tut the anarchist for the pant 25
years have to a greatei or lens ex
tent used the lahor movement and
lahor organisation as on oppor
tunity to proselyte for the lienefit
of their nefarious doctrines. It
has been their persistent policy to
pain membership in local labor or
ganizations, and, it possible, press
themselves forward into official
iiositions, say little or nothing
themselves of a violent nature, hut
wait paitently until some poor de
luded misguided fellow memtar
proposes lawlessness or violence as
a remedy for industrial wrongs,
then encourage him in private
until his manhood was utterly lost
in the vicionsness which they con
tribute to stimulate.
"As soon as their process of in
triguo and cunning had created a
favorable lnmression upon the
mind and character of their victim
they invariably strengthen their
hold and initiate him into what
they call the 'white card' degree of
anarchy. In that division of the
organization nothing of a criminal
character is uttered and no con
epiracies against public officials
aro concocted. The members are
free to discuss both principals and
methods without restriction, but
as soon one develo'pes suflicient
courage and depravity ho is initial
ed into the 'red card' degree of tho
organization. Tho 'red card' do
gree is a profound secret from the
itecard.'
The 'white card' rn jmbers have
.no knowledge that there is any
such thing in existence a tho 'red
card' division or group as they
call themselves. The 'red card'
members never withdray or serve
their connection with tho 'white
card' degree, but meet with the
'white cards' as regular after their
initiation into tho 'red card' de
gree as before, but thero they sit
waiting and watching for some
'white card' member to qualify
LiiuK'l! for 'tho Ligher and inner
circles of the organization, and it
is in the 'red card' degree that all
the conspiracies ugainst life and
the election of assassins take place.
"Tim elected assassin is provided
with evcrythiil his comfort and
entertainment requires between
the time of his elation and perpet-
rution of the crimo for which he
h:is been chosen, but must avail:
himself of tho first opportunity to
perpetrate the deed to which be
has been elected and must at all
times bo resigned to his fate and
swear to the last extremity that he
has no acquaintance with the or
ganization and no accomplices in
the crime committed. The man
who shot President McKinley was
to our mind elected to do so. re
gardless of any statement he may
make to the contrary.
"The anarchist organization in
America is numerically stronger
than many suppose.

anarchy in America have deserted

Many letters are reaching the of
fice of Prof. J. II. Ackerman, Sup
erintendent of Public Instructions,
daily, regarding the exchange
prices of school books and in many
cases the writers state that their
local dealers refuse to take in ex
change for new books any old
volumes that have a pencil mark
or any other sign of former use.

horn off three times before he could
get them loose, and he was covered
with blood from head to foot. The
horns of a ram are springy and
when the animals fight they come
together with such force and viol
ence that very often their horns
clasp together so tightly that it is
impossible to get free. This hap

if they are not discovered they
starve to death. Buck deer do the

stated that the organization itself
is not only foreign in character,
but foreign in membership, and it
is reported upon quite reliable au
thority that its memliership in
America now aggregates more than

throughout the length and breadth

The liCmion
With the opening of the public
school, teachers will begin the teach
ing again of tho ono lesson that
children never learn until they are
out of school. The lesson is short
but a liard one. Briefly, it is the
fact that no one suffers from the
shirking of school studies except
ing tho pupil. If quick-witted
Jonny discovers that ho can "pass"
by skimming over his daily task,
the teacher will not be the one
fooled. If lazy Susan manages to
slide through the monthly examin
ation, the teacher does not get the
worst of the proposition. Jonny
and Susan may think that they are
cute, but they are not They are
the ones who will find they have
traded poor work for poor returns
Thev will find after a while that
the teacher did, not figure in the
problem. They will discover that
while they thought they were work
ing the teacher they were being
worked by themselves. Improved

accepted in exchange, and he ad
vises patrons to ucmana to see
these instructions, if dealeer refuse
to accept their old boods in ex
change, as local agents have ab
solutely no right to place restric
tions upon patrons in tho matter
of exchange. The instructions
sent out by J. K. Gill & Co., of
Portland, to their Leal agents, are
as follows:
"The contracts of publishers re
quire them to exchange new books
for old ones on 'the same subject
and of the game grade' and that
have been 'heretofore legally ad
opted' and are 'in actual or con
templated use in the public schools
in Oregon.
"The old books may be dirty
and worn, and possibly without
cover, but it should be in such
condition that it could have been
used by the pupil in his school
work if no change had been made
"In changing a new First Reader
for an old one the pupil pays 13
cents. The price you will find, as
well as tho price for all the books
to be exchanged, in a column for
that purpose. Our own order list
will be most convenient for refer
ence. Frye's Elements of Geogra
phy will be exchanged for Mon

through the list. There will be no
