OREGON NATIONAL GUARD . Oregon In common with the country at large, la proud of its cltlien soldiers. a ho under the new Wck law and em- eieni omcers are more emcnau won in , former ver.Offlcera without men how. ever do not make an army and the pres ent status of the Oregon National Quard Is due to the character of enlisted men aa well as to efficient and painstaking officers. The National Guard of Ore gon ia made up from young men from ' the best families in the state. It would seem there should be at least one company In this city where there are so many stalwart young men of martial bearing. Then this is the one section of the state without a military organization. There is not a company closer than Portland, 100 miles away. Ad the standard for enlistment is ad vanced as It should be it is a compli ment to a young man's moral as well as physical qualities to gain admission to the ranks of the guard. The Naonal Guard takes the place of the standing gi fritvswliich European powers maintain at such enormous cost. In Germany, for Instance, nvn are with the colors or In reserves from youth to age. Every man is a soldier with few exceptions. In England the volun teers supplemnn the standing army which . is large. In France, the con scription system imposes military ser vice on nearly every young man. In our civil war and Spanish wars. the National Guards or state militias aided greatly in organizing the armies needed for service. In time of peace the citUen soldiers add importance to civic functions and emergencies may arise at any time making their services invaluable. In the several states of the union there are 125,000 men enrolled in the National Guard and about HOOO.000 is expended annually in state appropria tions for their benefit. Their services are appreciated and they should not lack encoiyragement. SHAW ON FINANCE Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, in a speech before the busi ness m?n of Chicago, advocated a sys tem of giving elasticity to the volume of currency which will attract consid erable attention. The present laws he Mid. give the national banks the authority to issue circulating notes, subject however to a tax of 10 per cent which he claims is realjy prohibitive. He would amend the law so as to make this tux 5 per cent and permit the na tional banks, with the consent of the comptroller of the currency to Issue circulating notes equal to 50 per cent Of their bond secured circulation the same to be retired at wiU or by direc tion of the comptroller by thedeposit of an equal amount of lawful money with any sub-treasury . Secretary Shaw claims this addition al circulation will spring into existence whenever and wherever the scarcity of money brings up the rate of interest and will as surely retire when the rate of Interest falls below profitable loan ing. He says such currency would be absolutely sound and recitf-s as the principal benefit of the system that It would be the substantial guaranty against sudden Increase ' in interest rales, and an equally important guar anty against dangerously low rates of Interest. Each locality would be abls measurably to provide for its own em eisenci?s." James J. Corbett says he will enter the ring again if the proper induce ments Is offered. The Inducement should he to weigh him and throw him in a river, says an exchange. . Not so bad as that. A great majority of the public, though perhaps not en dorsing th? profession, admire Corbett. Light is breaking even among the effete monarchies. In Italy the other day, the courts held that an editor could not be held liable to individual pttlo'rs of the navy on account of ac cusations brought against the whole navy. BUNION!?

CHOKED BY BRUTE NEGRO Unknown Ruffian Escapes Wrath it n . . ' Mb UTOWnln Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 4. An un known negro, caught in the act of strangling Mrs. Gerahn, a white wo man. In her home at Armourdale Kan., suburb, this afternoon, escaped to the Kansas river where he drowned himself rather than run the chances of being lynched. The negro called at the house about noon, surprised Mrs. Gerahn and demanded her money. When she in sisted there was none about the house the negro ceased her by the throat and beg.tn choking her. Neighboring women broke into the house after Mrs. Gerahn had been in the power of the negro for hours and saw him standing over the prostrate woman. He hurried from the house and ran to the Kansas river, two blocks distant, where, he hired a boat and or dered the owner to row quickly to the Missouri side. When the boat reached mid stream a crowd of excited men and boys had gathered at the bank and shouted to the owner of the boat to re turn to shore. He started to do so when the negro dived into the water. He was drowned before the spot could be reached and his body disappeared. A GASOLINE FREIGHTER. Chicago, Sept. 4. Two-fold interest attaches to a vessel built in Chicago and Just sent on its first trip across Lake Michigan. The boat is the Grace J., the smallest freighter on the lakes and the first gasoline freight ship ever given attention by the United States Inspectors at Chicago. It is believed to be the only freighter of its kind en tered on the list of ths United States inspection service. It was built to en ter the fruit trade between Chicago and Michigan ports. Sever Johnson, build er and owner, had charge of the 3-horse power engine when the boat puffed out of the Chicago river, bound for Man istee. " WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER. San Ftancisco.Sept. 4.
