PROTECT RAILROAD GRAFT Over a decade ago officials of. the Post Office Department started a cam paign for a restricted circulation of the public press, and for this purpose demanded of Congress an increase of the postage rate, adopted a code of laws extraneous to the laws passed by Congress ,and enforced them with the help of a small army of inspect ors and a secret star-chamber court. In the course of six years of revolu tionary ferment and its aftermath, from December 1, 1905, to October 14, 1911, the Russian authorities confis cated issues of newspapers and per iodicals in 1,055 cases In 283 of these cases the issues confiscated were destroyed, and in 12 cases cer tain pages of articles were removed by order of the court. These figures refer only to confiscations which were subsequently approved by the courts. In the United States of ' America during the same period, 1905 to 1911, inclusive, 5,263 publications were de nied access to or ejected from the mails, resulting in a permanent sus pension of issues, in many cases with little less disastrous results to the owners than would have been the con fiscation of types, presses ,and other printing and publishing equipments. In Russia the confiscation of 1,055 publications applied only to certain specific issues or parts of issues, not to the publications themselves, in ev ery case the authority for the proced ure being justified by regularly con stituted courts. In the United States the confisca tion covered the whole establish ments, to the ability and right to pub lish further issues, without appeal to the courts, and based, not upon any well-defined or well-understood laws of Congress, but upon certain multitud inous, obscure, arbitrary 'rules and regulations, varying according to the notions of the official who happened It Is a Husband's Duty to Share His Pay With Wife By Lady FRANCES COOK, Suffragette rHEKE are thousands of women who must im plore their husbands for every nickel. Many a man certainly has no regard for his vows at the altar, "with my worldly goods I thee en dow," since often the truth of the matter is that he DOES NOT IN TEND to endow her with a single penny. Pray do not misunderstand me. There are many husbands, splen did men, who realize that a woman NEEDS MONEY FOR HER OWN USE of which she need not give an account. But we must consider the many women afflicted with the STINGY HUSBAND. Here I must say that there is more suffering as to this in England than in Ameria. Over there if a woman happens to save a few pounds the husband can force her into court, take her little savings from her and spend them. It is needless to say that there are many downtrodden women do ing all the cooking and mending clothes who do not know the pleasure of having a little money that they may CALL THEIR OWN. THEREFORE, IF THERE WAS A LAW BY WHICH A HUSBAND WAS COMPELLED TO GIVE HALF OF HIS EARNINGS TO HIS WIFE, CERTAINLY APPORTIONED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE MUTUAL EXPENSES WOULD BE PAID, THEN SHE WOULD ENJOY MANY LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE QUITE NECESSARY TO A WOMAN OF WHICH SHE IS NOW DEPRIVED. V ME WITHOUT A B UMBERHOcrrij V to occuy the seat of power and chang- ing from year to year. ' i The excuse for such mild exhibi tion of Russion despotism was the publication of articles inimical to the Government; the sole pretext in the United States for such drastic and ar bitrary action was the authority giv en to the Postmaster eGneral by Con gress for the classification of mail matter The pretended justification was that the Government lost money on second-class matter, a condition that did not exist. Of course the real reason for this campaign was to conceal the fact that excessive payments to railroads for carrying mails had caused a deficit In order, to protect railroad graft the Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft administrations have thrown freedom of the press to the winds and have grown bolder and less scrupu lous in this tyrannical policy as time has gone by. AGRICULTURE IN OUR SCHOOLS Although the house which greeted Mr Lane of Washington, D C, was such as almost sure to discourage an ordinary individual those who heard Mr. Lane and his theories, we think will agree that he is not an ordinary individual, but one with a doctrine such as should be practiced more gen erally and adopted by our city and County High schools p. department of agriculture with specially trained men, as instructors. "Back to the soil" is the universal cry, but without some one to instruct in the great work to be done when we get back there, little would be accomplished. It is a pity that more did riot hear Mr. Lane's message but the few who were present were rewarded and have be come real apostles of the agricultural ideas set forth "by him so clearly and impressively. SEARCHING FOR MINERALS Geologists advise the people of western Oklahoma tc Prospect for potash, as fifteen counties in that part of the state have strata resembling those in Germany that produce one of the most valuable articles of export in the empire. Oklahoma well dig gers and those in other states should look to mineral indications. A hint of this kind found in the soil has often led to a development of wealth on a large and permanent scale. Metals, ores, minerals and their sec ondary products have reached an an nual value in the United States of nearly $2,000,000,000, or a fourth as much as crops. In the early days of petroleum rural folk called its pros pectors "oil phrenologers," and looked on them as a queer race of visionaries Crude petroleum now adds over $130, 000,000 a year to the wealth of the country. An up-to-date farmer will not neglect the geological facts in his surroundings. ; A British cruiser has stopped a ship and removed from it a Cretan dele gation on the way to Athens. Capt.

Portland, Medford, The Dalles and other Oregon towns have had their white slave scandals, but this city has escaped notoriety of this nature thus far. The indomitable spirit of those Sea side merchants is to be lauded. Ev en before their ground had cooled off after their terrible fire, they, almost to a man, placed rush orders, which will result in the speedy upbuilding of this thriving summer resort.

The next time you buy a five cent tin cup remember you are patroniz ing a ten million dollar trust, but what can you do about it? The high school students who grad uate in a couple of weeks say they are getting a lot of free advice just now. Wouldn't it be a good plan to have a clean up day every month, instead of once or twice a year? The high school students respons ible for the publication of the high school paper deserve a great deal of credit. Each issue of the Hesperian has been well edited ,and splendidly planned and executed, taking a front rank among similar publications in the country. The pclicy of the mill officials with reference to prohibiting the firing of miscellaneous fire works within the picnic grounds is right in line with the policy of a "Sane Fourth." While the number of fatalities throughout the country the last celebration was less than the year previous plans are already being worked out to reduce the number of serious accidents.

Hedges, Secretary of the Board of Water Commissioners, " said Wednesday that he would object to the sprinkling of Main and other bus iness streets unless the merchants paid for the water for sprinkling pur poses. - "Of course there is plenty water with which to sprinkle the streets," said Mr. Hedges, "but I am not in favor of the water board furnishing water gratis to sprinkle the business streets when the poor people in other parts of the city have to pay for wat er for sprinkling purposes. The same question was discussed when Dir. Carll was mayor ,and the merchants refusing to pay for water for sprink ling the board refused water for that purpose. If all the business men will pay for water for sprinkling purposes as the people in the residential dist ricts, the board ' will see that all the water desired is -furnished." Big Mouthed.

R ECENT excavations In Pompeii Mfe , fir : rtul "the Street of Abundance," which is described as a sort of Fifth ave nue of the ancient city. ... Among the houses which have been explored is the palace of Obellius Firmus, apparently one of the richest of tha Pompeians. Before one of the gates, as shown in the first photograph, the ex cavators found the bodies of the master of the house, his wife, two children and two slaves overwhelmed by the ashes of the great eruption. In the same street was a fashionable drinking saloon, with the amphorae, or wine Jars, per fectly preserved by their thick covering of ashes. The body of a man supposed to have been the vintner, or the ancient equivalent of a bartender, was found near the stone bar, which appears in the second photograph. In other houses frescoes of vivid coloring were discovered, depicting human figures of life size and great beauty. The Street of Abundance was evidently largely a business street It had shops or booths with marble counters over which were sold jewels and art objects, toilet articles, perfumes, etc. There were even "beauty parlors," and in one of them the excavators found recipes for complex'oo cream and rouge. MR. AND MRS NILES GIVEN SURPRISE PARTV Relatives of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Niles gave them a pleasant surprise party at their home in Gladstone Tuesday, the occasion being the birth day of Mrs. Niles and the wedding anninversary of Mr. and Mrs. Niles.

Alfred Bunn, the celebrated English Impresario and operatic librettist of the last century, was not always in an amiable frame of mind, and one day he was seen at a rehearsal holding a wretc&ed "super" by the collar and scolding' him savagely. The poor fel low's fright and distress, says F. .I. Cruwest in his biographical aneedotes of famous musicians, attracted the at tention of Malibran. the famous prima donna jriie hidy i-rossed over to The manager and said: "Do you know.

This has been officially denied by H. C. Rooper, secretary, of the Ante lope Wool Growers' association so far as the date at Shaniko is concerned. The date for the sale at that point has been twisted several times by dealers, but so far as the association is concerned, it will be held as an nounced previously, on June 18. Practically no wool has been sold in the interior of Oregon or IdahoT not withstanding the reports being circu lated in some quarters. Such reports are said by association people to be circulated by enemies of the present system of selling for the sole purpose of causing holders to let go before regular sales dates and make the lat ter event a farce. The small deals that have been closed in eastern Oregon and Idaho cut but little consideration when the total amount of the shearing there is concerned.

He was dressed ordinarily and seemed to be suffering. I asked him if he need ed any assistance, and he thanked me saying: " 'I live at the Hamburghof. I feel better now, and can walk there.' "The old man arose to his feet, went a few steps and collapsed. I hurried 10 him and felt his pulse, which had virtually ceased. Then I summoned a policeman and sent him to the hos pital. I continued on my way with out knowing I had attended the death of a king." - You May Have friends galore, but you will have none more steadfast, more ready to respond to your wants, more capable of pushing you ahead, more of an incentive to -forge to the front than a growing bank account.
