To the Average Young Man
A jury of twelve men was le
i n jr selected. To each of these
men counsel for tlie defendant
put this question: "If you were
defendant, would you he willing
to have your ease tried bof ore
twelve men who felt toward you
as you feel toward the defend
ant in this ease?"
Thes are questions pregnant
with thought.
Another jury was receiving
its charge, after having listened
to a murder tri il. They were
charged like this: "Place your
self as nearly as you can in the
position of the defendant at
the time of the alleged
crime was committed. Im
agine yourself environed as
he was environed. Feel as he
felt. And thus try and determ
ine if he were acting as a reason
able being should act, and if in
deed he were acting in self de
fense." There was another situation
that is very suggestive.
Two business men were con
versing. One had told the other
of a bargain that he was about
to close with a third individual.
He was asking advice. His
friend replied: "Put yourself in
the other fellow's place. Know
ing what you do about this mat
ter, would you be willing to
make this bargain if you were
he."
Here is still another striking
incident.
All of which goes to show that
in law, as in business, and in
deed in all the affairs of life,
when men stop to think about
the "squre deal" they cannot
improve in any way on the gold
en rule that Christ laid down, to
the effect that we should do unto
others as we would that they
should do unto us.
That is a splendid rule. Its
general acceptance would re
model the world along new lines.
Its individual acceptance by you
will remodel you along new
lines. It may not make you
rich, but it will make you hu
mane, honest and just.
A young man can not do better
than to give this proposition
serious thought in all his deal
ings with both men and women.
Place yourself in imagination in
their . position. Judge as you
would be judged. Take no ad
vantage that you would not be
willing to give. Bring nothing
into their lives, or upon them,
that you would n'ot be willing to
have come into your life under
similar conditions. Ask nothing
that you would not give. Give
nothing that you would not wish
to receive.
Such a rule will make you
more considerate and just. You
will ask less of others. You will
give more to others. But you
will not be the worse for that.
For there is "that which hoards
itself poor," and there is "that
which gives itself rich." Au

Just a Little Optimistic
After a decade of hard work
by Senator I.aFollette, of Wis
consin, and other independent
republicans, congress has at last
passed the law which will allow
the government to tix the physi
cal value of all transportation
lines. This is a long step in the
direction of ending the tight be
tween common carriers and the
general public. Great corpora
tions which have built our rail
ways are fully entitled to a good
return on actual money expend
ed and no thinking man objects
to such recompense. They are
not, however, entitled to returns
on watered stock, and what is
true of railways is true of every
public utility. Slowly but surely
ithe government is usurping
power over great corporations,
and the general public is gain
, ing thereby. It has been a long
I struggle for the people to learn
that public utilities are for their
use and convenience and are not
to be exploited for the benefit of
corporations. The day of great
fortunes amassed by corpora
tions exacting undue tribute
from the people is past. It was
a long time coming but we thank
God that it has arrived. The

Blue Eyed Men
Statistics compiled by some
one in Kansas City tend to cast
reproach on blue eyed men. The
figures show that !." per cent of
the men who desert their wives
in Kansas City are blue eyed.
The Bertillion measurements
taken show that ( per cent of
the Kansas City murderers have
been blue eyed men. Fifty four
per cent of the pickpockets and
50 per cent of the burglars have
blue eyes in that city. How
ever, it is but fair to say that
the expert who has been investi
gating the matter does not at
tribute all this depravity to the
azure orbs of the criminals. He
figures that blue eyes are in the
majority in Kansas City and
that the inhabitants are for the
most part descendants of the
races of northern Europe. He
declares that should an investi
gation be made at Rome it would
reveal dark eyed men as the
national defenders. East Ore
gonian. Rumor coupled with Porfirio
Diaz suggests his possible return
to Mexico, but he will probably
think twice before returning to
Mexican soil, as deposed ex
presidents are not looked upon
so favorably in that country as
i it
are defunct ones. European soil
is possibly more healthy for him
than that of Mexico.
It would seem that conditions
are becoming somewhat twisted.
In Mexico and other countries,
civilized and uncivilized, the
male population take the lead in
insurrections, but in Eng
gland, the female blooms in
to prominence as a rioter. The
Edemic deceiver must be busy
in England.
