It Is claimed that under the .Michigan law he can recover only $50 costs from the Chicago Tribune. He was .warded six cents damages by the jury. Possibly the jury figured that Henry's standing as a loyal Ameri can and statesman was not worth over six cents. But the pity of it is, Henry's dense ignorance was shown to the public and despite that, some people wanted to run him (or pres ident. Inasmuch as he got only six -cents, the price of flivvers may be advanced until he makes that million ha was suing for. The trial proved, at the least, that a money-mater is not necessarily a brilliant man. There is much agitation over the country in regard to adopting the" metric system of weights and meas ures. The Wall Street Journal, boosting for the system says: "Per-, naps the Anglo-Saxon aversion of change would be quickly overcome were-It generally known that our present measurement by weights, ounces and quarts had Its origin in Germany." (But can the American public ne "re-educated?" It is doubtful tf the change will ever "be accepted. There was no evidence submitted to prove that Ford is an anarchist. In the general meaning of the word. Ford, like a good many other peo ple, merely thinks he knows bow to run the government. Had he received at the beginning of the war, a genu ine swift kick from some Boche he might not have turned the other cheek, !''' . The saying that "there are no new worlds to conquror" is erroneous. For instance, there is the upper ' waters of the Amazon, where mon- strong Insects dwell, where no white foot has ever trodden, and where even the proverbial fig leaf has not been adopted. "The trouble with gome people," says a Grants Pass 'booster, "is that , they're dead but don't know it. Oth ers have an Incurable case of 'the don't give a damns.' " Strong as sertion, tout perhaps there's more truth than poetry in the statement. The common people may not be "organized," but when driven be yond the limit they rise up to "tell the whole world."

Altogether there are about fifty fires burning. Several hundred people witnessed the swimming contests and other sports at Riverside park last evening which, from start to finish, kept the crowd stretching their necks to see all that was going on. A number of our people took well-filled bankets delicious eatables to the park where they enjoyed an outdoor lunch. The contests revealed that Grants Pass has some fiue divers and swimmers among the male pop ulation, as well as some graceful water nymphs among the fairer aex.
