The law should correct thst portion of the Bliermsn- act which prohibits all combinations of the Character above described, whether they be reasonable, or unreasonable; but this should be done only as part of a scheme to provide for this effective snd thorough-going supervision by the na tional government f all the operations oi ma interstate concerns. I do not know whether rt Is possible but If possible. It Is certainly desirable. that In connection with measures to. re strain stock watering and over capital lsation there should be measures taken to prevent at least the grosser forms of Rambling In socurltles and commodi ties, such as making larxe sales of What men do not' possess and "corner ing" the market. legitimate purchase of commodities and of stocks and se curities for investment have no connec tlon whatever with purchases of stocks and other securities or commodities on a margin for speculative and gambling tiurnoaes. There is no moral difference between gambling at cards or lotteries or on the racetracks and gambling In the stock market. One method Is Just as perni cious to t ne Doay pontic ss ins otner kind and In the evil worked far greater, but a far more difficult subject with Which to deal. ProUct Business. The great bulk of the business trans acted lu the stock exchanges Is not only legitimate, but is necessary to the work ing or our modern industrial system, and car would have to be taken not to Interfere with legitimate bunlmns Inter ests. Moreover, there Is a special diffi culty in dealing with this matter by the federal government In a federal re public like ours. But If It Is possible to devise a way to aeul with It, the effort should be made, even if only In a cau tious and tentative way. It would seem that the federal government could at least act by forbidding the use of the mails, telegraph and telephone wires lor the gambling in stocks and futures. Tt Standard Oil corporation and the railway company have both been found guilty bscause of criminal mlsoonduct; both hare bssn sentenced to pay heavy fines; and each has Issued and pub lished broadcast statements asserting their Innocence and denouncing as Im proper the act of the courts and Juries in convicting them of guilt. These Statements are elaborate and are un-, truthful In Important particulars. Tile attacks by these great corpora tions iipon the administration's actions have been given a wide circulation throughout the ciuntry. In the news papers and otherwise, by those writers and speakers who conuclounly or un consclouHly act ns the representatives Of. predatory wealth of the wealth ac cumulated on a giant scale by all forms Of Iniquity, ranging from the oppresso of wage-workers to unfair and unwho'e some methods of crushing out compe tition and to defrauding the public by slock Jobbing and the manipulation of securities. Certain wealthy men of this stamp whose conduct should be abhorred by every man of ordinary conscience and Who commit the hideous wrong of teach ing our young men that phenomenal success must be based upon dishonesty, hare during the few months made it ap parent that they hare banded together to work for a reaction. The books and pamphlets, the con trolled newspapers, the speeches by pub lic or private men to which I refer are usually and especially in the Interest of the Standard OU trust antl of certain notorious combinations, but they also defend other individuals and corpora tions of Kreat wealth that have bcn guilty of wrongdoing. It is only rarely that the men responsible for the wrong doing themselves spealv and write. They hire others to do the bidding or others will do It without hire. Oppose Honesty. From the railroad rate law to the pure food law every measure for hon esty In business that has been passed during the last six years has been op posed by uiese men on its passage him Influenza or la grippe and how to cure and, prevent It Ms ; exhaustively treated In the November .bulletin of the state board of health by Dr. E. A. Pierce, Its .history and peculiarities are well described s.nd much Informa tion of value 1 contained in the paper. "La grippe is an acute Infectious dis ease,, whose history date bffck 2,000 years," read' the paper. "It. frequents all parts of the civilised world and at tacks all ages and conditions .of life. It mar be carried long distances In the clothing. In the last great epidemic the dlsesse - spread from 8t. Petersburg to the. state of Kansas In two months. 'Vhlldren as a rule have the disease much less severely than adults. The aged and poor In health suffer most. La grippe is the cause of more con sumption than all other causes ' com bined. People who live or sit in badly ventilated or ' overheated rooms or In crowded assemblages, upon going out Into the fresh old air, are often chilled and the disease follows. ."The symptoms of the disease are Hsuallv. first a tired feeling, followed by sneeslng and a sense of having tak en coia; nam ana aching ox me ooav.

It win oe necessary Tor mem to wori eat and sleep regularly, to avoid ull excesses, keep in the open air as much as possible, avoid over-heated ana oau ly ventilated apartments, keep the bow els regular, and avoid patent medicines and nostrums, and In a word, keep the bodily vigor at Its highest possible standard. During November there were 681 births In Oregon; 886 deaths; 67 cases of tvohold from which there were 2$ deaths; SI cases of smallpox from-whlch there were no deatns; and mere were 456 marriages.

Koth horses weie knocked off their feet, and one of the horses slid beneath the wheels of the car. The motorman stopped the car quickly and Hie horse was taken out uninjured. The horses were standing at the curb near the nldrwnlk elevator or the Honeyman Hardware company. A keg of nails was placed on the elevator In the basement and started up. When the elevator came to a stop at the sidewalk the keg of nails rolled into the street and against the horses' feet. The horses started to run and ran until they met the .ar on Second street. There was a small boy In the. wagon who tried hard to stop the frantic team. When he saw the danger of a smash-up he slid out over the rear end-gate.

Hard times have gone a gloaming In Portland If the amount of city building permits Is to be token as a criterion.

All of thesa men persist In the statement made by contractors In November when the total permits amounted to only 1199.210, because of tho banking holi days, that l'JOH would exceed all years in the way of new buildings. This month's total bears them out in their contention and they say that Feb ruary, the shortcut month in the year, will exceed January by a large margin. Several of them freely predict that the total for February will be around the million mark. . although the total for February, 1907, was J886. !(.

HARRY. THAW'S FATE (Continued from Ptge One.) It will be colder tonight than this morning. So predicts Mr. Reals, the weather man. Easterly winds will bring the thermometer down to 25 de grees, according to his forecast this morning, and that will mean exactly three degrees colder than this morning. Ordinarily a thermometer at 28 de grees does not mean very cold weather but somehow many shlvrjid and con, plalned bitterly of thfjtemperaturr early this morning. The wind veered around to the east and became quite "biting." This aided the temperature considerably In making itself felt. Thin sheets of ice formed on nhullow waters during the night and remained intact throughout the day in spots from which the mid-day sun was excluded. 1 x. V Ith a continuation of the present tem perature there is said to be a possi bility of skatinsj before, the end of the season, but Mr. Beals does not consider the outlook hopeful. History shows that February In this part of the world has a normal tem perature of 41.30 degrees, although on the lltth in 1883 and the 12th in 18M the thermometer dropped to 7 degrees. Again records show that on the 28th In 1901 and the 26th In 1905 the ther mometer rose to 68 degrees, making them delightful spring days. The aver age amount of precipitation is 5.73 inches. February, 1N79, had 13.22 Inches of rain, whereas February, 1895, was favored with but 1.01 inches. Tho greatest amount of snowfall recorded In any 24 consecutive hours was 8.5 inches on February 3, 1893. jtrajpui Anacortes Bride Has 37 Grandchildren and Three Great Grandchildren.

"Therms a Reason" SAYS nOUTH HAD TWO WIVES Countess Accuses Husband of IJeinjr Already Married When They AVerc Wed. LOSES HORSE RACE AND KILLS HIMSELF (United Press Leued Wire.) London, Jan. 31. It Is learned that the Countess of Yarmouth, formerly Miss Alice Thaw, of Pittsburg, Is basing her suit for nullity of marriage which will be heard next month, on the ground that the earl was already married at the time he went .through the wedding ceremony with her. People familiar with the facts be lieve the countess will have great dif ficulty In nrovlnsr her case and It is considered very possible the courts will dlsnllss the suit. Tne cnarge againsi the7earl Is that he ran off with an actress ten years ago to Scotland and the two went through the ceremony of simply declaring tnemseives man ami wife before the two witnesses, which. In Scotland, constitutes a legal marriage. Shortly after the ceremony,, according to the case for the countess, there was a separation, Dy mutual consent, ine woman received a sum or money as compensation and went to Paris where she tooK up ner resiaence, umu ner death some time ago. The countess has employed a large number of detectives to gather evidence concerning this alleged Incident In the earl s career, hut it is not Known now much Information she has secured. The fact that the woman in the case is not alive to give evidence increases the dif ficulties or the countess. If trre Thaw money h withdrawn from the earl's household, his lordship will be a poor man. and faced with this alternative he decided to fight the case. The suit will be bitterly contested, the two most prominent lawyers in the country being retained on either side. The earl has gained the service of Ru fus Isaacs, who- has received $5,000 as retaining fee and will- take SI. 000 a day while the suit lasts. Sir Edward Carson, solicitor general In the Balfour ministry, will represent the countess. He will draw an equally high amount. The earl has also employed Newton Crane, the best known American lawyer In Europe, to look after that part of his defence which will concern Ameri can lawkv". ' ' (United Press Leased Wire.)

KADDERLY 3a FIRST ST. NEAR ALDER I The f House of Highest Quality AND HER BEAUTIFUL CHICKERING PIANO SHOWERED WITH FLOWERS Upon her previous visit to San Francisco, Madame Teresa Carreno was given a grand ovation. Her marvelous playing completely captivated the great audience, and probably never has any artist or any piano received a more enthusi astic indorsement than was accorded her upon that occasion. Reproduced below is an extract from the San Francisco Chronicle briefly describing the remarkable scene which occurred at the close of her concert. "The most wonderful enthusiasm for any pianist ever seen or heard in this .place was shown Madame Carreno last evening at Metropolitan hall. A splendid audience was enchanted with her artistic performance. Every number on the program was an open eyed wonderment. The most remarkable scene of all was at the end of her work. The audience rose en masse, and with cries and bravos tore from their breasts ajid garments boutonnieres of vio lets, pinks and roses, and threw them at her from every part of the audience. She was completely covered with them. The beautiful Chickering Piano which she uses was filled with them. They fell on the strings and action. Encore after encore was given, and withal the flower-smothered piano, she once more brought them to their seats. The enthusiasm was something marvelous. It took over an hour to remove violets and other flowers from her Chick ering Piano." This marvelous instrument, which reproduces the play ing of any pianist with life like v fidelity, is acknowl edged the most wonderful musical invention in his-v tory. It is little short of a miracle. To hear it is to be : literally ushered into the very presence of the great est artists of modern times. It is not so much in hearing' . . . an artist once as in tne re peated performances that the greatest appreciation is derived. Through the Mig- ' non it is possible not only;; to hear' practically everv great pianist of today Car-, reno, Paderewski, Grieg, De ' rachmann, Busoni, Pugno, Leschetizsky, Stavenhagen and practically all of the world's other most famous pianists, but to hear triem as often as one may desire,. at will to study, to com-' pare, to enjoy, as is possi ble in no other way.
