Oregon, Wasningon and IJaho Fair except near Coast NO INDIANS FOR US. Tfe are quite willing that fifty. hundred or a thousand, i handsome Oregon girls shall be sent back to Jamestown to advertise the State of Oregon, but we balk at the false and reactionary proposition to send them there disguised as Indians. This Is not an Indian State: and what of In dians we have, outside of the walls of Harrison Institute, at Salem, are not of a sort to reflect any credit on Ore gon or any other locality. We protest against the plan be cause it will detract from the beauty, grace and culture of our girls; because there Is no Indian standard in exist ence here now; because It will mis, lead and mystify the Easterner, who has not to learn that Oregon is not an Indian camp; because it Is not typical of the state, nor her women; and be cause it will contribute absolutdy nothing to the real and genuine knowledge we desire our Eastern friends to have concerning us. Astoria had an Indian princess at the head of her Regatta festivities two years ago; one of the handsomest women of the county, but she was unique as she was tie only woman so dressed, or characterized, and It made a distinctly favorable Impression at home, and with our visiting friend, but if She had been equipped with a retinue of thirty or forty others in like habiliments, the thing would have been a rank failure. Primarily, the Indian is not beaut' ful, nor graceful, nor prepossessing In any degree, and to the world at large, the type is one of Ignorance and ugliness, unrelieved It is a mistake to think the people of the East do not know this, and to send a bevy of really lovely girls back there, transposed to even a semblance of something admlttedl? dirty anJ gro tesque, will prove a blunder, pure and simple. We mfe ourselves disposed to have this splendid rate advertised by Its healthy, hearty, handsome maidens tout we want them to go in a recog nizable garb, and on an errand trfct will not be travestied by Easterners who are supposed to know a thing Or two themselves. Send on a group of the finest fpecl men that can be gathered together, but let them go as realistic normal natural women; tre strength and pride and hope of the State, and they will do more to carry conviction to the mind of the young home-hunter, than any absurdity like an "Indian delegation. The latter course would be a disparagement to the girls, and the State, as well. "DEMENTIA AMERICANA." Attorney1. Delmas Wis r(ndered a, wise solution of the IremenJous Issue set up In the Thaw case, as to the ba sic principle upon which his client acted when he shot Stanford White to death. His powerful deduction comes directly from the "unwritten code," of course, but that does not mitigate against its application; it Is one of the principles of all law, that the law does not cover the entire range of the human Impulse and action; that there are certain reservations to which society clings despite all codes and precepts; these remain unques- tinned and unchallenged of all men, and we believe It Is a source tf strength to the law Itself that these restrictions are permitted. The wrltton code Is over-writ ten. It offers to many variations and Is susceptible of far too many conclu sions. In other wo-da, there Is too much law, and what there Is. Is framed with patent ambiguity that robs it of the prime qualities of simplicity and efficacy. 'rvmonttn Americana" Is one of the results of this redundancy of the coda, and stands, today, freer from chal lenge, as a living principle, than the malleable an unMlatde edicts that are suppose to be traditionally cor reet and Just MONEY AND THE LAW. It Is a nice question these days which is supreme in America, the law or money? The natural and righteous concep tion is in favor of the law always. It should be;' but that money may move It or delay It at will. Is one the frankest and rankest of living facts. A case In point being the trial. at Chicago, three year titer the nor ror of the Iroquois Theatre fire, wherein 5S4 people perished, and eight people were charged with the frightful re sponsibility. Sheer money has wrought the farce. (for farce It will be) and the onus of it lies with a corruptible bench and a corruptible public conscience. It is a radical and raw expression of American indifference to the law. The law has lost Its majesty and has d- scended to a mere commodity, to the growing disgrace of the country. There Is one thing that may be said for the old countries across the At lantic They have a profounder re spect for the law, and the law re spects Itself, with a tar deeper devo tion than prevails on this side. We do not relish the conclusion but It is thrusting Itself to the front with a cer tainty and frequency that bars ufc from asserting plausible denial. EDITORIAL SALAD.

JUDCB, President of the fctcleiy tor PolltlesI study. I DO not believe that nwn rogtml lln-ir wives m CH ATTELS, as Profwwr Williom I. Thomas t f Chicago university in his new book, "Sex and Society," would liavo us believe. Men who are successful in business are the ones who consult their wives ami motbvrs. They know that women have brains. I do not consider the intellectual' wonittn, the one who has simply acquired BOOK LEARNING. The intellectual woman of today is the one who has studied tho problems of life with common sense and who has equipped herself with a FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION that gives her a broad view. A to thtt disadvantage of monogamy which tho professor 1 pleased to point out, it may be true wears off, but I do not think that our men of today lose tneir ten inter est so far as to seek out other women aimply because they yearn for romance. Where such men aro found it wilt be discovered that they re of the LOWEST MORAL TYPE.
