C0R1 COIHT DKC1SIOXS The conviction of Editor Putnam, ottbe Medford Mail, of . criminal n; outrage against public L'ewy and fair play. Because he tared to denounce u j . dbtrlct attorney for failure to do ,ieIr sworn duty, Mr. Putnam in rred thel enmity of the official (jl,ue in Jackson county, and was fend euil'y bv Jurymen so hamper iif the rulings of the trial judge IK any other verdict was impossi U, He was not even allowed (his right under the Oregon libel. law to pre the truth of the published itttement, although-witnesses of high ending in the community and state itood ready to testify in his behalf. This farce of a trial Is largely the outgrowth of the law enacted a few, jars ago at the behest of the prose tiling attorneys' lobby, abolishing the grand jury system, except In spec ie instances at the discretion of the Dtosecutor. It has Inaugurated a ijitem under which that official has jiiers in criminal matters that tend t) torruptlon and bribery. Even ria a grand jury has been siun mti, as in the Medford case, Its members are absolutely dominated, if not actually bulldozed, when nec essary, by the all-powerful district at torney. . Judge Hanna's rulings In the case ire a surprise only to those who do not know his record, since unexpected and unique decisions have character tiied his long career on the bench, personal Interest' and prejudice ap parently controlling his judicial opin ions. Once years ago he was forced to resign from the circuit bench, If we remember rightly, for refusing to obey a mandate of the supreme court In one of the many reversals he has sustained. Later w'.ien the Demo cratic party tired of him and he was deleated for the nomination 111 con tention, he declared himself a "gold Democrat," came out Independently u4 was endorsed by the Republicans and elected. As a politician he is shrewd and resourceful, and in his decisions he apparently never forgets that he Is a perennial candidate for office.

They were put ill office to protect Ihlevei-y and they fulfill their, obligation by giv ing Immunity to thieves." O A motor that wi!! propel u subma rine a mile a minute is the latest wonder, claimed to have been invent ed by Hiram Maxim. However, we can't see that it will be put u9 any practical use, unless he can Invent a crew to work it, as men will be likely to object to going at such a speed un der water. There's mighty slim chance that congress will take the president's tip and turn, the Job of picking out the 4000 employes needed for taking the next census over to the civil service commission. The average senator and representative feels that' he needs the pie in his business. Senator lleverldge's bill providing for a tariff commission of five, with salaries of $5000, to assist the con gressional committees In gathering data for future tariff revision, would lie a good thing for the five men who copped the jobs, According to a physician, who may know or may only be seeking the ad vertising the ethics of his profession will not permit him to pay for, the grip Is really a "yellow peril," hav ing originated in China, and not In Russia. ' t Anyway, there's one thing that Pittsburg won't stand for. One of its police magistrates sentenced a mas culine "affinity" to thirty days in the workhouse without the privilege of paying a fine and being released. Some editors are so busy enumer ating the qualifications necessary to become president of the United States that they overlook the most Impor tant of all the ability to get the re quired number of votes. Politics must surely be mixed in that neck of the woods, when General G-rosvenor, former Republican con gressman from Ohio, threatens to en ter the field as an independent can didate for congress. What a contempt John D. Rockefel ler must feel for F. Augustus Heinze, wo Is begging to have the measly little fine of f20,000 imposed by the federal court, sitting at Helena, Mont, remitted. Bishop Paddock says God makes millionaires. Wpnder If Rockefeller and the rest of the high finance bunch will not regard that as a re flection on their financial ability? Colonel Watterson Is right. The Democratic party is full of fight, but a lot more discretion will have to be shown in directing f.ie blows to get results. Still, the financial embarrassment of a number of the country's largest diamond dealers Is not calculated to worry the few who do not buy dia mond::. Judging solely from some of the printed hysteria, it might be supposed that tho use-of patronage to gain sup port was a brand new thing in poli tic!!. Mr. Bryan was right In saying that party lines are hanging loosely, but It's safe to say that they will be tight ened' up ere the dog star reigns. Since burglars In many cities have taken to burgling in evening clothes. It Is difficult to tell them from the ordinary high brand financiers. Democrats in the New York legisla ture are making It plain that Gover nor Hughes does l.oi stand as high with them as he did last year. 1MHJVET FOR RAILROAD MAX. (Drain Nonpareil.

Clulrmin of the House Committee on Banking and Currency. J 4"5"i"5.&.ti..5. HERE CERTAINLY 4 FINANCIAL LEGISLATION, AND I CAN ASSURE I YOU THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE GOMMIT- TEE ON BANKING AND CURRENCY WILL BEND t THEIR ENERGIES TO THAT END. WHAT WE SHALL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH NO MAN CAN ANSWER. BUT THAT THERE IS URGENT NEED FOR HELP NO MAN CAN DENY. If tli is government continues its present policy of injecting into the arteries of trade and comerco a fixed bond secured cur rency bv excbantriiiir securities, bv bond sneculntion. bv treasury manipulation, by executive order or by any other form of TIIDIBLE IUGG1XU we shall continue to move, but with greatly accelerated speed, toward a commercial crisis COMPARED WITH WHICH TILE PRESENT PANIC IS ONLY A PLEASANT SUMMER OUTING. Our recent condition has been one of REAL PROSPERITY. Our crops are worth about $7,000,000,000, the products of our mines nhont $1,-100,000,000, manufactured products about $17,000,000,000, a 'total of $25,000,000,000. Meamvhilo we have had tho advnntago of an extraordinary con sumption of foodstuffs as a result of the Russo-Japanese war, tho dis turbed condition of Russia has led to a reduced-wheat acreage there, a food senrcit)- prevails abroad, and consequently we are enjoying EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH PRICES. If all this were not true, but, on the other hand, our business conditions had been bad, our crops poor and foreign prices low, IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE TRANSPIRED ! Notwithstanding all this and wholly because of the maladministra tion of our finances we are in a state of PANIC. Wo have today in the banks of this country about $12,000,000, 000 of deposits and about the same amount of outstanding loans. Against this fabulous sum the banks hold as reserve about $900,000, 000, or LESS THAN 8 PER CENT. And even of this 8 per cent reserve nearly one-quarter, $200,000,000, is in bank notes a mere credit, a mere promise to pay. Stating it in another way, the reserves held against $2,500,000,000 of our bank deposits in the United States today are bank notes and not gold, which is admittedly tho ONLY PROPER RESERVE in any country with a gold standard." YET IF WE CONTINUE OUR PRESENT POLICY WHERE IS IT GOING TO END' HOW -LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE ALL OF OUR BANK DEPOSITS WILL REST UPON CREDIT RESERVES? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE WORST AND WILDEST FORM OF INFLATION. Yet it is rumored tltat sheer madness is to follow in a scheme now being wrought out to add to this already OVERWHELMING bur den another load in the form of state, municipal nnd railroad bonds as tho basis of our bank currency liability. No one who bus studied this question doubts that all of ottr reserves, whether for deposits or any other form of bank LMality, iiiclndine bank notes, olinnld be cold. A CUM WITNESS A lawyer was cross-examining a witness with a. view to getting him muddled in his testimony. The fol lowing questions and answers occur red: "Did you see the plaintiff faint a short time ago?" "i es, sir. I'eople turn pale when they faint, : .. ,. .. 1 J I don't they "Xo sir, not always." "What, do you mean to tell me that a person can fuint and not turn pale? Did you ever hear of such a case?" "Yes sir." "Did vou ever see suc a case?" "I did, sir" "When?" "About a year ago, sir." "Who was it?" " 'Twas a negro, sir." The lawyer excused the witness. a i ant Kosort. "Well, doctor,' nald the patient who was an incestant talker, "why In the world don't you look at my tongue, If you want to, Insead of wilting away like a newspaper edit- now long uo you expect i urn going to sit here with my mouth wide open?" "Just one moment more, please, madam," replied the doctor; "I only wanted you to keep still long enough so that 1 could write this prescrip tion." We looked at our dear daughter with tender solicitude. "Have you and Julius qaurreled?" wo asked. "Oh, no," the fair girl answered calmly. "It Is getting too near 1 ('hr .ntnias tor me lo quarrel witn Julius." "They say he married her for her inone. And what did he do when Bho lost her wealth?" "Ho lot Mi reason." I have "Father." said little Hollo, discovered why Santn Claus Is de pleted as driving reindeer." "Have you, my son?" "Yes. He Is loo wise tn take any chances In an automobile."
