She wouldn't understand." Tomorrow Alicia's Talk With Her Mother. Klamath's Court Held All Wrong Though the emergency tariff has only been in effect a few days, the response of other nations has been instantan eous. There is reprisal all along the line. Canada has put into effect corresponding duties on im ports of wheat, flour and potatoes from the United States and a country wide boycott is being agitated against goods made in this country. As we export far more to Canada than we import, the effect will be far reaching. Australia has put into effect restrictions against Amer ican products that are seriously interfering with trade rela tions and curtailing our growing commerce with that commonwealth. A retaliatory tariff is being framed in the Argentine re public and a feeling of antagonism toward the United States is growing among the business men. The progress of the past feW years in establishing American commerce in this and other southern American countries is being obliterated. Snain has abolished its minimum rates of duty as effecting especially important lines of American manufacture' and sub- Wholesale Building of statuted rates three, four and five times higher. Other countries are planning embargoes and retaliatory tariffs that will affectually cripple if not destroy America's export trade and lose us our foreign markets. Larger credits and other devices will not avail to hold trade so lost. Great Britain, Germany, Scandinavia and other countries will rapidly regain the commerce lost to America in the war and our foreign commerce will dwindle as quickly as it in creased as a result of the trade isolation resultant from an obsolete high protective policy. The emergency tariff will bring in little revenue, and not materially help the producer. It will only increase the cost of living to. the consumer. It is a gold-brick handed the farmer to secure his support for tariff on manufactures, ith the passage of the tariff bill now being drafted, we will comDlete the return to the normalcy of isolation, and have turned the clock back to the time we had no exports and no commerce. The public reaction will seal the doom ot the political party perpetrating it as bankrupt in statesmanship. Should Reform Itself The people having repeatedly refused to extend the length of the legislative session for the simple reason that a forty day session produces a surplus of legislation, it is up to the legislature to effect its own reformation by the adoption of rules tht.t will affectually curtail the abuses that swamp the closing hours of the session and result in the passage of much illconsidered and unnecessary legislation. There is no valid reason why any member should be per mitted to introduce an unlimited quantity of bills, no reason why there should not be a limit enforced both on quantity and time' of introduction. Nine-tenths of the new laws that encumber the statytes as a result of each session could be dispensed with and no material injury result. Most of every session is much ado about nothing. Oregon is. legislated to death. Codes become obsolete as And each session adds permanently to the expense of government by the creation of new and needless commissions as well as adding half a thousand new laws to regulate the commonwealth. All legislators pledge themselves 10 economy w -tion. Most of them forget the pledge as soon as elected and squander their own time and the people's money. They do not develop business efficiency sufficient to manage themselves in competenfmanner. Hence the public distrust of the repeated reiusai 01 me yeuic Holy Smoke. Dear Office Cat: "If fiod Al mighty would give me the power to go to hell and preach nie ser mon and give the invitation 1 could depopulate hell in fifteen minutes." The above statement was utler ed by Billy Sunday the grcal ev angelist, in one of his sennoiij re cently delivered In Cincinnati, O., where he is conducting an elsht weeks campaign, now drawing to a close, against the devil and his cohorts. Unquestionably this Is the boldest challenge ever made to put the prince of darkness out of com mission within so short a time. It is intimated that negotiation are' now pending to put Into execution this unique request, which it por feeted will he so announced In Lltl column.

I got the thrill of I have hardly liearu anyiuiui. except your name when Bart's friends have been talked about. "It is strange that 1 have never seen vou before. All the rest of the family know you so well." "Yes. they do. At the time of your wedding. Mrs. Hammersly. 1 was laid up with a broken ankle and couldn't come." "I am glad It has become strong enough for you to play tennia again." "Oh. I am all right now. I was Just commiserating myself on tb fart that 1 had never met you be fore." "How all the girls must like you Larry." "Why, what do you mean?" "You are always saying such unexpectedly nice things and you have a look of sincerity In your eyes when you say tfiem. Why. you have even made me think that you like my baby." "1 do," Harry answered gravely. "Have you any brothers and sis ters?" "None." 'Please don't try to make me think a college man who ha never bad auy younger brothers and sis ters could possibly have any time for a baby. College men are all like Hart. He considers babies ne cessities, perhaps, but still wriggly little nuisances who can have no place In his young and unhamper ed lit." '1 never cared for a baby be- I fore," he said naively. "But you must remember It Is the first time I I ever had one In my arms and I am glad that It was your baby." I stopped and looked at Larry WhMtoD abruptly. It did not seem possible that he was tell ins? the l truth my life when It put out its tiny hands to me. Its softness, and help lessness and oh,, I can't telj you what It was but It got me." "What a queer boy you are." "Perhaps I am queer I don't know though no one has ever told that to me before. Perhaps I think more about myself and the why of thing tban most fellows my age. That may lie only because my bump of conceit is so large thai it overlaps ray bump of sensitive ness to ridicule. At least I am not at all ashamed of telling this to you. I can even tell you that I like you immensely and I am almost sure that part of It Is on account of your baby." I wanted to laugh I wanted to cry. Larry looked at me with .nich sincere eye that I rotild not diubt that he believed what he wax say ing. I should have doubted It if be bad been an older man. To tell the truth I did not und"rstanj Ijirry. and I certainly did not un derstand myself, for I found my. self being thrilled by what h- wa saying I wondered it any other woman has had this experience. Poor Hal had only been dead a short time, and for a moment I had almot forgotten elm. "Here is an emotion I would not dare to tell an:inV T sa'd to myself. Indeed.

The statement is contained in an opinion, handed down this morn ing overruling a motion filed by J. M. Douglas to strike out certain portions of the answer filed by Klamath county in the mandamus proceeding filed by Dougan in an effort to compel payment of a war want for $20,572.47Jield by him as the balance due him for the construction of one of Klamath's two new court houses. The court which in a previous opinion rendered judgment against the county and in favor of Deugarn now holds that "if it should develop that there are now In the treasury no moneys avail able with, which to make restora tion to the special court house fund, then it may be that Dou gan's only remedy, if he has any. is to compel the levy of special taxes for the purpose of restoring moneys which in effect were bor rowed from the special court house fund." G. K. VanRiper, county treasur er of Klamath county, had refused to pay Dougan's warrant because there were no funds available for that purpose. Dugan had conten ded that funds which were levied for the payment of his claims had been juggled and shifted into other funds. Continuing his comment upon the courthouse situation in the southern Oregon county Justice Harris declares that "if it cannot be said that one and not the othe of the two buildings is the courthouse of the county then the legally constituted authorities must decide upon the selection of one building as the courthouse of Klamath county for any taxpayer can prevent the maintenance of two buildings as courthouses when one1 is amply sufficient for court house purposes." "If one building must be deem ed now to he the courthouse or Is selected as the courthouse It may nevertheless be lawful and proper to expend moneys on the other-wlth the view the view of disposing of it to ad vantage." Five other opinions were handed down by the court this morning as follows: W. S. Bar num vs. California Oregon Power Co., intervener and appellant; appeal from Jackson county on objections to cost bills; cost bills disallowed; opinion by Justice Harris. J. M. Dougan company vs. G. K.

Corbett Septem ber 7, 1892, in the twenty first round of their championship fltrht at New Orleans. Corbett had a, lot of fun winning the fight and! the $45,000 that went with it. He towered three inches above the champion and continually smiled down at Sullivan in a most annoy ing manner. Corbett had been a bank clerk before taking the ring seriously and the fans and news paper correspondents delighted in salting their amazement at his speed with remarks of his dancing master tactics, as they were called. As the battle spun along toward Its end. the Callfornlan forced Sul livan to take the defensive. He had the champion draped over the ropes when the bell rang at the end of the twenties round. In the next round, Sullivan, beaten dowr by sniashing rights and lefts, tried hard to regain his feet and carry on but his strength was not equal to his will, and he was counted out. It was the greatest ring battle, In the public mind, that had ever been staged and good seats were sold for seventy-five dollars and more. Sixteen months after James J. Corbett won the heavyweight championship of America from John L. Sullivan, he added to his laurels by severely beating Charles K. Mitchell, who came over from England to challenge the conquer or, in three rounds, at Jackson ville, Fla, January 25, 1894. There was much enmity between the battlers, Corbett refusing to shake hands with his opponent before the fight began. His at tack upon the Englishman was a merciless one, and in the thjnl round he broke Mitchell's nose with a half swing blow, theu knocked him flat twice, the econd time for a knockout.

The Difference of 150 Years a You've heard the story of Paul Revere how he clat tered out of Boston and spread the alarm to every Middle sex village, etc. That was in April, 1775. It was an all night job. Today the Boston papers would slap extras on their presses and in the shake of a little lamb's tail the whole thrilling message would be in each home of the well known county. This represents the advance of 150 years in the import ant business of spreading news. The cry of "Extra Extra" on the midnight air brings startled folks to their doors as once did the pound of a horse's hoofs and the breathless shout of the rider. Papers have supplanted the courier multiplied his ef fectiveness many times increased his speed a hundred fold. How far back we would go without newspapers? We would remain in ignorance not only of events at home and abroad but also of much that concerns us just as vitally news of the very things that have to do with the per sonal, every-day life of each one of us. Somebody might be selling a new, better and more economical food; or a utensil that would add immeasur ably to our comfort and well-being; or some better mater ial for making shoes or clothing but we would never know it.
