We have errown so accustomed to see federal virtue, lifting p Its hands in horror at the wickedness of the states that it is something -of an awakening to have the indictment flung back as - sharply as Judge Harmon, of Ohio, did In his Inaugural speech yesterday: "Certainly no state government ever used or would have dared to use taxing power to swell private fortunes or nlunred into unparalleled xpenditures In the face of a large and growing deficit ichiefly due to perverting taxa tion from Its primary, purpose of rais ing public revenues." - . ; s Btu then Governor Harmon Is In ths same old-fogy class with Mr. Burton end Mr. Tawney and other champions of the obsolete principle of thrifts !"

J Jlils is to be a busy week for real dents of the peninsula and North Al bina. foi their push clubs will - have meetings Monday. Tuesday and Thurs day .evenings. All of these meetings will be held In the tire hall at Albina and KiilinEworth. On Monday the reg ular meeting of the North Albina Ira-- J movement club will be held. The plan s to take up the park question s it refers to that section of the city and see what can be dons toward getting the city to purchase more' than ten acres of the W. K. Smith tract The park board has already taken an option Ott ten acres of this and will close for it soon. The residents of North Albina think that at least twenty acres should be purchased. They point out that the city is growing out itf.that direction and that in 'a short time there will be little grofcnd for park purposes left. The figur.e, too, is so reasonable that they think it is to , ths .advantage, of the city to purchase. y- . Tuesday evening the North Albina Rosa . Culture club and the Peninsula Rum Carnival association will , hold thnlr meeting to take, ud plans for tliw coming Ross Festival. An excellent mu sical program nas oeen arranged wun J. B.

On the other hand, when a church edifice gets in the way of business progress in New , Lork city its fate is sealed. Neither sentiment nor reverence is strong enough to save it and probably no other city in the world has made so many sanctuary changes In oropor tion to size during the last century as our own metropolis.

L The mayor . did not say, however, that he would veto it. As the ordinance was passed: .as an emer gency measure. before it can become ef fective the mayor's approval is neo essarv' - A few .minutes preceding the reading of the ordinance Councilman- Bennett asked to be excused. A reason for the councilman's sudden departure was soon made apparent. Among other reasons for declaring an emergency was one which stated that It Is "necessary to in- . view of the coin stands for, and . In ellow. peril." " Councilman Vaughn, before voting. In sisted that the meaning of the last phrase and its connection with the W. C. T. U. be explained. Then followed a storm of denunciation of the Incon siderate joker whose levity had so over powered his sense of the ridiculous. Several representatives of the W. C. T. U. who were present disclaimed respon sibility, arid Councilman - Cellars said that the man who put in the emergency clause was absent -The only absentee was Mr. Bennett , - Councilman Prlscoll - moved that the "yellow - peril" nhrase be stricken out of the ordinance, and this was done. Councilman Menefee asked to be record, ed as voting no. . He said in explanation that the passing of the ordinance would break in upon the policy of the license committee, and that an undesirable pre cedent would thereby be established. - .. - This Is a Peimjr Joke. From the New 4Tork Times. There was intense excitement in the office of the American Bank Wote com pany when It was learned that Presi dent Kokert. of the International Bank Note company, was going to return the 30,000 pennies, less 25 coppers, for a notary's fee, , with which President Green, of the American Bank Note com- Sany had attempted to pay-off $100 ebt'ln a'spirlt of fun.' -When Mr. Bckert received the pennies he had them counted, and finding that there were exactly 10,000 he called in a notary to draw up an affidavit showing that he was returning tbe box, just as be had received.
