They u8cd to say that an Import tax was the only kind of n tnx tho people would Btand because they could not define it and imagined they did not pay It. Tho line Imposed by Judge Lnndls on Standard Oil looks like justice. When the poor wife has been beaten by her husband and the latter Is fined, that looks like justice too, but when tho wife steps up to the clerks desk and pays the fine, what is the effect of that? There is the little catechism which might bo impressed on modern so ciety. Question Who pays the freight? Answer The People. Qucsiton Who pay the Taxes? Answer 'i he People. Question Wno pay the fines Im posed on corporations which have a monopoly? Answer- The People. Question Who pays the Standard OIL llnoiof $29,42o,000? Answer The People.

Suppose tho company should be placed In the hands of a receiver for a term of years, Its profits to bo confiscated during that time? (Cries of Anarchy! Anarchy! render the answer ,inaudlble.) We-tlo not ask If the company wjll pay the fine, but in view of possible legal complications on appeal, we as"k, If the fine will bo paid and whatMviJl be dono with the money. Statement No. 1 Aain. (Pendleton Tribune.) The Portland Journal made a roar because a few republican papers re ferred to the fact that the people of Oregon at the polls last year elected members of the legislature without any regard whatever as to their atti tude toward Statement No. 1. No denial has been made of this fact, for It was true. Everybody knows It. And when it was said that on ac count of the action of tho people It was likely that candidates generally next year would not take Statement No. 1, since tho people evidently did not care anything about it, those making the suggestion were at once declared to be "enemies of the peo ple," for referring merely to what the people themselves have done. And It was added that. the papers making tho suggestion were wanting a "return to tho scones of disorder and riot at Salem." To this it wasJ shown that to elect the candidate who had been selected at the primaries by His party would result In an election by the legisla ture on the i first ballot, and that therii would be no possibility for a scene "of riot and disorder," that ground was abandoned and the asser tion fallen back upon that "the peo plo should be trusted." So the round Is completed again. The position of The Tribune, taken at the first, that the entire matter rests with tho people aa to Statement No. 1, and that their opinion of it must Di-evall, is the correct one. If they do not want it, and won't use It as they didn't what harm Is done by referring to tho fact? Tho example sot by them was to the- effect that they want the candi date elected of. the majority party who received the largest vote, and this will, as frankly admitted by the Journal of tho 30th hits., prevent any "bceno of disorder and riot at Salem." It- might not elect a democratic .senator, to be sure, to the disappoint ment of tho "non-partisan" .press, but everything would bo orderly at Salem, and tho members of the legis lature would at tho same time have the matter taken out of their hands And tho consummation is a great torward step in the right direction, Isn't It? It would not result In the election of a democratic bonator, but If tho peoplo don't care for Statement No. 1, and they didn't, let us accept tho reform offered by them and thank tho Lord for oven small favors. What do you say, Brother Wager? A l'lcu for Boys iind Girls. . . (Exchange.) Tho other day a 57 year old woman entered a ton mile swimming race which was held at St. Louis. Four years ago her physician told her that hor lungs wore affected and her gen eral health run down, lie advised hor to take up swimming, because that exorefso Inflates and donates tho lungs llko'a hollows, spreading out tho tissues and follicles to tho full and airing them thoroughly. Sho followed tbo wise doctor's advice, and now sho is an athlete at the age when most woiuon aro only half allvo physically. Dartmouth college lequlres every ono of Its students to swim boforo it allows thorn to graduate with tho de gree of ..bachelor of arts. It holds that swimming. In a more useful art for 999 iu0u out of 'in thousand than Bcir'nnlng. Aosthylim Many of ' tho boTirdlng'schbtiiB in tho 'country riiako swimming compulsory. So do An napplls atid West Point. As a life-saver, swimming is a good deal like tho Texan's gun, which ho said lie didn't need oftcn.but when he did need it ho needed it big-expletlvo-ly bad. But, unlike .the gun, swim ming is a.Uo the best kind of fun for the boy. It gives him big lungs, a deep chest, a strong, regular heart. It doesn't develop big bunches of mus cles on the outside of him at tho ex pense of his organs within, but it in creases his vitality while keeping his muscles long, flexible and quick. It's a moral amusement; whiskey and late hours don't mix with hard swim ming. It's cheap; nature has pro vided all tho ''necessary Impedimenta of tho sport. If you have a boy growing up and you are conscientious about his edu cation, don't make him spend all his time at -Latin, spelling and dancing school. See that he learns to swim. It may save his life some day, and It will certainly add to his grace and strength. Would Keep Children Nude. (Globe-Democrat.) Prof. Frederick Starr of the Uni versity of Chicago has openly taken' Hie stand that children would bo bet-' ter off if they wore no clothing until they were ten years old, and several other' members of 'the faculty, to gether with a few wealthy neighbors in the exclusive south-side section of Chicago, have jollied in a movement to establish a rcbidentlal Utopia at a cost of $50,000 or more for the pur pose of putting tills theory into" practice. Never Too Old To Lcnrn. (Telegram ) Had Mr. Roosevelt and Ben Till man been on terms of familiar friendship the latter might have visit ed Sagamore Hill and learned some thing about the proper use of the pitchfork. A Matter of Location. (Albany Democrat.) It does look as If some people's brains were in their stomach during the ico cream season. Steam Dye Works I mito" tiuUienty,ffaftt'iilvU,ftn ed or wfed.
