TEXAS LAW CROP.
Legislating In Texas is a strenuous
occupation. It requires an expansive,
liberal-minded statesman to cover the
wide range of reform attempted down
there, and to vote for the return of
Senator Railey, and his Standard oil
odor, to Washington.
The Texas solons pained interna
tional notoriety by passing a nine
foot bedsheet law, which has become
celebrated wherever man concerns '
himself closely with the comforts of j
life. j
But that Is by no means all the j
legislature did. j
It passed a law making it an of
fense for any man in public office to
employ under him any relative, unless
the relationship is more distant than
second cou3ln.
It forbade the drinking of any kind
of liquor on trains under any circum
stances. It passed a law compelling any
theatrical manager to book any at
traction applying for an open date If
the character of the production is
suitable for a first-class playhouse.
It required all railroads to use elec
tric headlights.
It passed a more rigorous Sunday
closing law for saloons, and another
law forbidding saloons having in con
nection with their bars any device
calculated to draw patronage, such as
billiard or pool tables.
It closed not only all bucket shops
in the state but also all stock brok
ers' ofSces.
Half-rate fares have been prohibit
ed H.S well as passes
not onlv for
railroads but also for street cars and psychology.
telegraph and telephone companies, j Thursday Written arithmetic,
The mere possession of articles theory of teaching, grammar, book
commonly used in games of chance j keeping, physics, civil government,
has been made a criminal offense, and j Friday Physiology, geography,

There were numerous stringent general history, English literature,
laws against corporations enacted, j school law.

And the complaint of the Governor
of Texas against the legislature Is
that it was not sufficiently drastic in
meeting abuses under which the peo-
pie suffer.
HORSE STEALING.
An Anti-Horsethief organization is
needed in thi3 and adjoining counties.
An organization with money in its
treasury to be used in recovering
stolen animals and capturing and pros
ecuting the thieves, would not only
he of good service after the horse is
stolen, but a deterrent to further
stealing.
Horsethieves Tely for success in
getting away with and disposing of
their booty, to the lack of funds on
the part of the victim to raise any
great hue and cry after them. If a
society exists whose business it is to
protect the property rights of its
members, the thieves will pas that
territory by.
It is suggested that there is an
"organized band" of horsethieves tol
erating in Clackamas and nearby
counties. Sure. That is the only
way horsethieves operate. They
know where they are going to take
the animals before they sU-al them.
That's another way an anti-thief or
ganization is effective. It seeks out
and exposes the "fence" who handles
the horses for the thieves.
There is evident a healthy growing
sentiment against the Sunday colored
newspaper supplement intended to de
light and calculated to debase and!1'"
de-educate boys and girls. We spend
millions yearly in the public schools
to educate the juvenile population, to
teach them correct orthography and
pure English, but from a too fastid
ioii respect for the freedom (license)
of the press, we permit the Sunday
suplements to fill the receptive minds
and memories of school children with
witless and demoralizing pictorial
buffoonery explained in misspelled
and ungrammatical language which
undiscriminating children accept for
fun. Children are naturally playful,
boisterous, and need no stimulation
certainly not such stimulation, and
the public which is taxed millions
for education, ought to take steps to
stop this most immoral miseducation.
There should be no "hitching post
controversy" in Oregon City. The
Improvement of the cross streets is
not of such a valuable or fragile na
ture that a hitched team would injure
the street. Unless some substitute
Is provided, such as a free yard, the
rigs should be allowed on those
streets as heretofore. The county
commissioners are light In insisting
jupon hitch-rack accommodations on
KiKhth street. Many taxpayers drive
to town to transact business in the
court house that may require but n
few minutes of time. It is unreason
able ti expect them to seek a feed
stable. iHuibtiess when the whole
matter Is examined, the so-called "cii
trovers)" will resolve Itself into a
slight misunderstanding.
Oregon City usually welcomes ad-
!,jt(,n
to her population but there
I have been n few newcomers din ing
the last year who are not wanted.
They are the wife deserters and men
iwho abandon their children. It Is
I had enough to look out for Oregon
jians guilty of those crimes and when
they come from other states the Im
position is all the worse. Such men
are "undesirable citizens. "
The postoflieo department is call
ing attention of the public to the fact
that written messages must not be
put inside of merchandise or papers
that are mailed at the one cent rate.
There Is a mandatory fine of $10
for the offense, and last year $."i9,0t3
in fines were collected from people,
the majority of whom never had
heard of the law.
Wife deserters and fathers who
abandon helpless children should re
ceive the limit of the law, and If
that limit isn't high enough the next
legislature should make the punish
ment fit the crime.

the "Alternating Currents" column of
S. K. Klser in that paper has been a
daily source of delight to Its readers.
The cartoons of Ralph Wilder on the
Ilrst pane are designed to make pts
ple laugh and to make them think
as well. In fact, the humor of the
Record-Herald, like its news columns,
is always clean and kindly as well as
amusing and entertaining. It affords
a striking example of the right way to
"tell the truth laughing."
Famous humorists contribute to the
Sunday Magazine of the Record-Herald,

celebrated writers on timely ques

of the highest standard of periodical
literature the new idea in Sunday
journalism perfected.
