Some Plain Talk.
Court has met and the Grand
Jury has done its work though
but little of it is known to the
public and perhaps will not be
before the spring term of court
t is to be hoped that those who
have been violating the law will
decide that they had better ibey
it through fear of the penalty,
though they may not respect the
aw itself.
The local option and the gamb-
ing law have been openly violat
ed here and the authorities have
winked at it all the time. Some
of the violaters were openly defy
ing the law while others may be
able to make a semblance of a plea
of ignorance. The law is very
plain on the gambling question
and anyone who would take the
time to go to the office of our just
ice or attorney can read it in a few
minutes, and every one knows
what the local option law is.
Some will insist that the law is
not just, others that it is killing
the town, but this will not excuse
anyone. .These laws are to be obey
ed the same as any others, and
the man who violates them is no
better than "any other criminal
and should be dealt with jut the
same. Falls City New.
Rabbits aad Hatto
Out here in Oregon sheep rais
ers are demanding a bounty on
coyotes, but the owners of young
orchards, gardens and alfalfa
fields desire the coyote let alone,
or that equally vigorous war be
made upon the jackrabbit, which
is food for the coyote but which
destroys trees, grass and veget
ables. But it is not alone on the
prairies and in the mountains o
eastern Oregon that the rabbit is
a subject of interest. Among
the many people who have ap
peared before the ways and means
committee of congress asking for
protection are hatters who want
a tariff on imported rabbit skins
so that the domestic rabbit wil!
not be crowded out of the mar
ket. They insist on protection
for the infant rabbit industry,
This will please the coyotes, who
like rabbits all but as well as mut
ton, but "wouldn't it jar" the
farmers to whom the rabbits are
pests? The farmers should have
learned long ere this, however,
that they have no rights or inter
ests that the beneficiariespf pro
tection are bound to respect. The
hatters may indeed convince them
that their interests are identical
for don't the hatters want the
rabbits skins? And a skinned
rabbit would be no menace to a
voung orchard. But will the hat
ters, if protected against the pau
per rabbits of foreign countries,
agree to come out to Oregon and
catch and skin the protected rab
bits? There's the rub. Journal
