No man on eartji could 'recollect a list of all the laws; I tried It once my : mind la Wrecked, and now you know the cause Some gents who are In prison yet proclaim with angry shout that thoy are so with laws lawa beset they really can't stay out. :"A man can't walk around ' a block," I heard a sad man wall, "but what the cops will round hlnn flock, and chuck him Into Jail." I heard the butcher man re pine and weep, and rail at fate, because he had to pay a fine for being $bdrt on weight.- I heard the corner grocer snort,, and use Bom laTiguugo sour, because they yanked him into court for selllqg mouldy flour. The milkman bottled half the crcok, and sold It on., his -route;; heissid: f'The law lust makes me sick," when friends had balled him out. The laws are numerous as scales upon a fish, -no doubt; and so some people ure In Julia and simply can't stay out. Hut all the time nnd everywhere one great truth stands out clear; The man who acts upon the square has nothing much to fear. Copyright, 1909, by Oeorge Matthews Adams. ( A MONEY AFRAID OF STOCKS Wlieu Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane informs us that foreign money would gladly seek investment in American railroad stocks if government supervision gave assurance that money so invested would really have behind it the railroad prop crty, he tells nothing surprising, says the Detroit News. Could money be invested in railroad stocks in this country with the cer tainty thai it was buying an interest in the railroad, and not just simply water, there would be plenty of money from nearer by than Europe to go into just such stocks. As a matter of fact, railroad securities ought to be the finest and safest investments in the United States. Under the fran chise rights granted railroads in this country, and under the am ple protection given railroads, their securities should form the ideal refuge for trust funds held for the protection and benefit of minors and other helpless people. But it is known to all that , i the present circumstances any person responsible for the j safety of trust funds who would invest such funds in American railroad stocks would be Wgarded as little if anything short oi criminal in his action. Some railroad bonds are very fair seou'rity, , Others are not. And as for the stocks, they often mean too little in real value. It is an absurd situation, and one that ned. n6t existj ' The gov ernment ought to supervise the issue pf ;afcfj4$rpaq fcecuriti, which should be based on the property at its actual worth. With this done it would not be necessary for railroad officials to hawk their stocks in Europe. . There is plenty of money in' the United States seeking safe investment and it, would go into the railroads in almost unlimited sums if that could be brought about which Mr. Lane says would bring foreign money to this country. ... Medical ., i -The Medford Tribune quotes Congressman Hawley as saying thai Medford is the best known town in Oregon, outside of Fort land. Brother Hawley should be more circumspect in his utter ances we poll over 2000 votes here in Eugene, and publicity is whee we shine. After a couple of rainy days, work on Eugene's numerous buildings under construction has been resumed. There will be plenty of. work for a large force of carpenters all winter. It really makes little difference whether Dr. Cook discovered the North Pole. His lecture tour receipts and book sales are quite satisfactory. If Jim Hill is behind half the railroad projects credited to him here in Oregon railroad development will be fast and furious. Now we ought to have a busy and pleasant fall season in Oregon.
