Window glass is a necessity in all
northern latitudes, and yet the people
of the United States support the policy
of a high tariff that prevents compe
tition In that necessary article. The
duty on window glass was Increased
nearly 100 per cent by the passage of
the Dingley bill and was intended to
be prohibitive of the imj>ortation of
glass manufactured in foreign coun
tries. Having procured this monopoly
of window glass, the combine that con
trols the manufacture of it has dou
bled the price, and the market is much
oversupplied. Instead of reducing the
price, the trust shut down the facto
rlea, and no window glass has been
manufactured by the trust since last
spring, and there is still a large stock
on hand that is awaiting a market.
The glass blowers are therefore idle
and, having formed a labor trust of
their own to control wages and re
strict the number of workingmen and
entered into a combination with the
window glass trust not to furnish glasu
blowers for independent or rival fac
tories, they have cut off al) avenue ot
employment until the trust can start
the fires again.
This is protection run mad, to the un
doing of the American people.
The window glass trust is protected
by the tariff of 60 to 100 per cent and
is charging double what its product is
worth. The labor trust is paid enor
mous wages when employed, but that
is less than half the time, so the yearly

The factor which is overlooked by
those who fear the ascendency of any
quixotic notion is the existence of the
average man. This individual is not a
striking personality, but he holds the
balance of power. Before any extrava
gant idea can establish itself it must
convert the average man. He is very
susceptible and takes a suggestion so
readily that it seems to prophesy the

say no. A great deal of the old Adam

man takes up with a quixotic notion,
only so much of it is practically
wrought out as be is able to compro

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be bom
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis-
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fif:y-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a

ANDERSON VS. ADAMS.
R. C. Anderson, respondent, vs. J.
F. Adams, appellant, from Klamath
couuty, H. L. Benson, judge, affirmed!
opinion by Chief Justice Moore.
This was an action to recover dam
ages from an agent for the breach of
an agreement made in excess of his
authority. The Supreme Court holds,
as did the lower court, that “an agent
who makes a contract on behalf of
his principal in excess of bls au
thority is, on the repudiation of the
agreement by the principal, personal
ly liable thereon, though be made no
false representations concerning his
authority, and, as he impliedly war
ranted that he was empowered to
a gke tbe conf erct, the action will te
coii'iiued as in contract instead of in
toil.”

Lake county, tespoudeol, vs. A. J.
Neilon et al., appellants f o;u Jackson
county, H. K. Hanna, judge, reversed;
opinion by Justice Wolvtrton.
Neilon was sheriff of Lake county,
and dtfeidants J. Frank), George
Jammerthal, A. McCallen and J. E.
Bernard were his sureties. Neilon de
faulted, and this suit was brought to
recover on his < fficlal undertaking,
which was executed May 6, 1899. At
the trial the jury was instructed that
the sureties would be liable for
money collected by Neilon before the
undertaking was given and still in
his hands and that it would be pre
sumed that he still bad in his hand-
all money collected and not turned
over to the county. This presump-
ti m, the Jury was told, could be over
come only by direct and positive evi-
d nee. The Supreme Court holds
that the presumption may be over
come by either direct or indirect evi
dence, and for this error the case is
reversed and remanded for new trial.
