GERMANY MAY GET BUSY WITH
RUSSIA.
Other nations have commenced to
take notice of the treatment of their
Jewish citizens by Russia, their in
terest in the matter having been stim
ulated by the action of President Taft
in abrogating the treaty with Russia
because of her discrimination against
American citizens of the Jewish faith.
Russia has shown no favoritism in
her treatment of the Jews and Eng
lish, German French, Italian and
Austrian Jews have been treated in
the same manner as American Jews.
The prompt action of President
Taft encouraged England, and the
government, responding to public
sentiment, has already manifested its
purpose of taking steps to have the
rights of English Jews in Russia de
fined and respected.
In Germany the leading newspapers
have taken up the" matter and are
urging the imperial government to
emulate the patriotic example of Mr.
Taft. In Berlin members of the Am
erican colony,, headed by Andrew D.
White, have urged the American
church in that city to align itself with
the American committee in advocat
ing remedial action by Russia.
The course of England and Ger
many will undoubtedly set the pace
for the other nations interested and
eventually Russia will be compelled
to revise her laws respecting the
treatment of Jews of other countries.
MUNICIPAL NEWSPAPER.
Los Angeles has decided to try the
experiment of a municipal newspaper.
At the recent election the voters ap
proved of an ordinance providing for
Laws Are So
That We Become WIB,
Bewildered
By GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
secretary or me ireasury
ilATEVKK .may be the reason, law
with us is not held in as high regard
as it should be. I do not mean sim
ply law in its narrow sense,- as the
punishment of petty offenses or the mere rou
tine administration of justice, essential as both
are, but I mean law in the BROAD SENSE
of general and willing conformity to the well
settled teachings of our experience as embodied in those rules which
have been established for the regulation of our social and industrial
. relations. .
It must be admitted that the somewhat lax attitude of our people
toward law in certain of its aspects is NOT WHOLLY WITHOUT
CACSE, and. though this cannot be excused, it can at least be par
tially explained by the way . in which many of "our laws are made.
Along with obedience to law must go wisdom and moderation in tfe
making of law.
But it too often happens that laws are PASSED IN A HASTY
AND SLOVENLY MANNER, with no proper study or considera
tion and with little or no thought for their effect on the general wel
fare. EVERY YEAR SEES THOUSANDS OF NEW LAWS PUT ON OUR
STATUTE BOOKS, MANY OF THEM INSPIRED BY PARTISAN OR
PRIVATE MOTIVES, UNTIL THE CITIZEN 13 BEWILDERED AND
DISCOURAGED BY THEIR VERY MULTIPLICITY AND BY THEIR
PERPLEXING AND OFTEN CONTRADICTORY PROVISIONS.
When this process has gone on for a considerable time RESPECT
FOR ALL LAW IS EN DANGER OF BEING WEAKENED. So,
while we appeal for a FULLER AND MORE THOROUGH OBE
DIENCE TO LAW, we must couple with it an appeal for more
sane and conservative and patriotic methods in tbe making of laws,' for
MORE SIMPLICITY in their construction, for a material reduction
' in their number and for the highest standard of ability and integrity
in oar judiciary. ,
the publication of a daily or weekly
paper by the city and accordingly the
City of Angels will embark upon the
enterprise.
The paper is to be mailed to sub
scribers at the rate of one cent a
copy, but is to be given free to reg
istered voters who call for it in per
son. The Mayor will appoint a com
mission to edit the paper, the com
mission to be composed of three per
sons serving without pay but with
power to engage a salaried secretary.
The ordinance provides against
partisanship in the paper. Municipal
news is to be given preference at all
times, but other news, as well as com
ment may be published. Each politi
cal party, is to be entitled to certain
space for" interviews and statements.
The Los Angeles venture may
prove successful. We doubt it. The
limitations placed on it practically
reduce it to the status of a legal hand
bill. It cannot serve the purpose of
the daily paper and hence cannot ex
pect to succeed from a financial point
of view. Still it is entitled to a trial
and its career will be watched with
interest.
Congress is engaged in an heroic
struggle to do nothing at the present
session.
Shortnose Wrinkleface is the name
of an Oklahoma Indian, but we
haven't read of his addressing any
inquiries to Beauty Doctor Lillian
Russell.
The millennium must be coming
along. New York society is reported
to have been shocked by a dancing
girl.
Mr. Bryan says the House needs
real leadership, but, of course, he's
too busy to tackle the job.
Abe Martin says: "Too many fellers
are dyin' that don't leave anything
but a wife an' children."
Where do all the people who get
free Christmas dinners get their meals
the rest of the year?
A Diaz portrait has disappeared.
Has Mona Lisa been located?
Complaint is made by housekeepers
that brooms are costing more. The
vacuum cleaner may come into its

There are a million and a half

ANOTHER charge has been added to that formerly made against Bert H.
Franklin, an investigator for the "defense in the McNamara trial.
Ank whose case has been engaging the attention of the superior court of
Los Angeles. The later accusation is that Franklin attempted to
bribe Robert Bain, a sworn Juror, who has testified that he took a bribe. The
first charge was that the investigator had bribed George N. Lockwood. a
talesman who had not been served with a jury summons. Lecompte Davis

and formerly in tbe diplomatic service, are defending Franklin The accused

stands higher. Vancouver, Wash.,
bonds are sold in Portland, and even
Portland bonds have been sold at a
discount. The $29,500 bond issue and
the money received from the assess
ments will redeem all the improve
ment bonds and the banks will there
fore cash the warrants the same as
before. The city shoula be proud of
its financial condition."
Mayor Dimick made the following
statement last night:
"You asked me to define what
course I intend to pursue since the
council of Oregon City has refused
to confirm my appointments, and 1
desire to state that I intend to stand
by my appointments regardless of any
action of the Oregon City Council. I
was elected Mayor of Oregon City for
a certain purpose, and that was to
assist -ftr straightening out our pres
ent financial entanglements.
"In the first place the street war
rants and general fund warrants can
not be cashed at a bank, neither can
the warrants be sold in the open mar
ket, and a few weeks ago there was
bids asked for public comfort toilets
and only one bid was received and
other contractors stated that they
would not do any work for a city and
be paid in city warrants where the
warrants could not be sold, and I may
say that there is no city in Oregon
that has been so carelessly and
negligently run wherein its warrant
indebtedness goes begging to such an
extent that the warrants cannot be
sold.
v "I intend to take charge of the city
government for the next year and
see that every dollar of the taxpayers'
money goes to a good purpose, or I
will not sign a warrant in the pay
ment of a solitary bill.
"The officers whom I appointed on
the police force have been tested and
not found wanting. Mr. Burns for
more than twenty years has been the
faithful guardian of the peace of Ore
gon City honest and upright in' his
dealings, and served under me for
four successive terms, and while he,
a great many times would send a poor
devil home who had imbibed a little
too freely rather than take the money
in fines that would deprive his wife
and children of the necessaries of life,
and he might not have collected as
many fines as his successor in of
fice, nevertheless his services were
faithful and impartial. Mr. Shaw has
also been a faithful servant and serv
ed under my former administration
with credit to himself and honor to
Oregon City, and as he is a younger
man that Mr. Burns, and most of the
drunken men appear upon tne streets
at night, I have concluded to appoint
Mr. Shaw on the night force, and in
doing so I do not cast any reflections
upon his reputation.
Mr. Frost and Mr. Bradley nave
both served during the past year on
the night police force, as special of
ficers, and their services must have
been satisfactory or they would not
have been retained, and I have ap
pointed them on account of their age
anl activity.
"I have nothing but the kindest
wor-ls for Henry Cooke, but he is grow
ing old and I think a younger man
would give the citizens of Oregon
City equally as good, if not better ser
vice. "I appointed Mr. Green as Street
Commissioner, because he is thor
oughly familiar with that work, and
is sober and industrious, and during
my former administrations he carried
on the work as Street Commissioner
carefully and economically.
"The Mayor of Oregon City is re
sponsible for the city administration
and it is his duty to carefully guard
the interests of-the taxpayer and the
framers of our charter gave the Mayor
the appointive power to appoint cer
tain officers to assist him in carry
ing out the administration of the city
affairs, and I am only exercising that
power which will aid me in doing my
duty, and fulfilling my trust.
"I will not recede from my posi
tion and will proceed to do my duty
as I see it if it takes my right hand.
The former City Council has closed"
Accused of
and His Counsel
up the South End road which is one
of the main thoroughfares into our
city and in fact the only one from
the south and caused it to be torn
up and put out of commission for
almost five months in order that a
sewer might be laid down tne hill in
the solid rock, and it is costing a vast
sum of money for that work, when a
pipe could have been placed oyer the
hill the same as the one at Singer
hill, for one-fifth of the amount of
cost, and with equal efficiency.
"I am gathering up data at this
time which I will present to the citi
zens of our city wherein I will show
that the amount of blooa money and
fines collected during the last year
which my enemies boast about, is
only a small drop in the bucket as
compared with the careless negligent
and wasteful manner in which a part
of the city funds have been expended
during the past year, and then our
citizens will see the reason why the
banks or people with money refuse
to purchase city warrants even at a
discount."
POCAHONTAS DEGREE
PLANS BIG SOCIAL

Pocahontas, met in regular session at

Mrs. John Adam3, that mysteriously
disappeared Friday morning, was a
victim of poison. The body of the dog

less he followed his master or mis
tress to the store on Main street.
"Teddy" was a pet of all. The dog
was a present to the Adams family
when he was a pup, and was of the
Alaska breed, but resembled a Gor
don setter.. "Teddy" was poisoned
first about two weeks ago, strychnine
being the drug, but he was --found in
time and antidotes administered. The
dog was .licensed and the police are
searching for the poisoners.

Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation. 19U.
A young man and a girl of twenty
were dancing together in a ballroom.
A locket of peculiar material and
workmanship flew about from her
bosom as she whirled. On the third
finger of her left hand was a ring
with an inexpensive stone. When the
music ceased she took the man's arm.
and they strolled away into a "side
room, where1 there was no one except
themselves. Seating herself on a sofa,
she said:
"That's our last dance."
"You don't care to wait?"
"While waiting my chances in the
matrimonial market would be passing
away. In ten years I shall be thirty
and my opportunities for marriage re
duced at least 75 per cent, at thirty
five say !H) per cent, and at forty I
won't have one chance in a liuudred
that I have now."
"You will always have me whatever
be your age." -
"T wouldn't trust to your constancy.
We girls as we grow older become
either fat or skinny. And I know you
too well to believe that you will ever
love either fcind."
"I swear"
"Don't swear. Go out. as yon pro
pose to. to the mining districts and
when you return, if unmarried and I
am unmarried and you want me, you
Will doubtless get me. But you won't
want me."
She took off the ring on her finsrer,
unclasped tbe locket from about her
neck and handed them to him.
"Keep tbem," he said, "not as typi
cal of an engagement, but as trinkets."
"Since you wish it I will."
"Goodby. 1 leave by an early train.
I must go. I have thiugs to do yet
before going to bed."
"Goodby and good luck be with you."
Twenty years passed. Tbe nijm dur
ing all that time had all he could do
to keep his head above water: then be
struck a bonanza. Kettirniug to his
former borne for the purpose of or
ganiziug a mining company, he reach
ed it in the winter season, when the
gayety was at its height. On his way
from dininir with n friend he passed
the building where two decades .before
he had parted with his love. Seeing
the place lighted up and hearing the
strains of music, he entered. Couples
were dancing, and there was the lady
from whom be had parted ' whirling,
while on her bosom was the never rest
ing locket.
How she had managed to preserve
her youthful looks and her beauty be
was at a loss to know. She innst h
unmarried, for no woman who h:id the
care of a family could look so young.
As she danced by him. the locket flirt
ing as of yore, their eyes met. h-.it he
saw at once that he was not n-uieiu-bered.
"Who is t hat ladj V" he asked, of one
who stood near.
"Miss Clarkson."
"1 thought so," he said, then to him
self: "I must have changed much more
than she."
He concluded not to make himself
known tneu and there, but announce
his return by note the next duy and
ask permission to call. This he did
and receiver a very gracious note in
reply, stating that Miss Clarkson would
be happy to receive him. The same
evening he went to her residence. She
was living in the same house, and on
being ushered into the drawing room
there sat a woman so fat that her first
effort to rise-was a failure, and in
stead of making a second she held out
her hand to bim.
"Pardon me," she said. "It's very
hard for me to rise. I told you when
you went away that we women must
expect to grow fat or skinny, and you
see that I belong to the first class."
He controlled himself sufficiently to
conceal the shock, but as to acting
like a returning lover he found it im
possible. As soon as hp lienimp com
posed he said:
"Tbe first thing I wish to know upon
my return is have you still the ring
and the locket I gave you."
"The ring is now locked in my bu
reau drawer upstairs. The locket "I
lent to my niece. Julia Clarkson, to
wear at a ball which she was to at
tend last evening."
He was satisfied with the explana
tion and knew why' he had been led
Into an error.
The lady made it very easy for him.
She had not expected that they would
begin where they had left off twenty
years before. Indeed. It was evident
from the expression on her former
lover's face that he had no mind to
keep his pledge that, though she were'
fat and forty, he was still hers. She
asked him what he had been doing all
those long years, and he told her that
he had been struggling with adversity.
He failed to acquaint her with the
fact that be had come home to form a
company that would give him an enor
mous income. Instead, he left her to
suppose that he wns still struggling.
Before leaving he tried to stammer
something like his words when they
were half their present age. but failed.
"Don't." she said, interrupting him.
"What I told you has come to pass.
Go marry some woman between twen
ty and thirty years of age and be hap-'
He said "Neyer!" very faintly, bnt
tbe next day hunted among his old
friends till be found one who would
Introduce him to the younger Miss
Clarkson. Again the locket flapped,
but this time while he danced with
the niece, whom be finally married.

APPLE GROWERS
PLAN BIG COIII
, A combination of the best apple
growing sections in the world is likely
as a result of the preliminary meet
ing held at Hood River. The meet
ing was attended by representatives
of the Hood River Apple Growers'
union and representatives of the Yaki
ma, Rogue River and Wenatchee or
ganizations. The representatives se
lected P. S. Davidson of the David
son Fruit Company; C. H. Sproat,
president of the Hood River Apple
Growers' union; A. I. Mason, O. L.
Walter and H. E. Ferguson, promin
ent fruitgrowers, as a committee to
investigate the Northwestern Fruit
exchange.
Plans are being made to combine
the four fruitgrowers' organizations
with the Northwestern Fruit exchange
for marketing the crop of the various
districts.
If the plans carry it will mean that
the leading fruitgrowing districts of
the world will combine to market
their crops instead of trying to com
pete with one another as at present.
The amalgamation of the selling in
terests i3 expected to do away with
the so-called "Walla Walla plan,"
which has for its object the com
bination of the leading fruit organi
zations of the Pacific Northwest. This
plan is said to be .too heavy to carry
forward.

HILL MEN HERE SEEKING RAILWAY
(Continued from page 1)
both the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul and the Harriman lines. While
it has generally been believed that
the Milwaukee was examining the
property and would take it if it could

Harriman lines have recently been
looking the O. W. P. over with a
view to buying. If the rumor that
Hill has secured the O. W. P. is
correct, as there is good reason for
believing it to be, it is evident that

and Burlington have seen the neces
sity for- forestalling their old rivals
and have again beaten the Harriman
lines in tbe exciting railroad games.
