"Postal Card law mak ing" la what Wiokle terms tbe Initia tive and Referendum, and bis Dig boss says tbat Oree.6u measures are called "insensate." ' ' A little cool tbis week not enough robins bere yet to thoroughly sound tbe choral of spring. In the press dispatches tbis week we read of American troops employing Bnseian taotics to Lreek op a strike at Lawrence, Mass., in wbioh defense less women were roogbly bandied and Injcred. A detachment of infantry and a squad of borly poli emen, kept at Lawrence to aid tbe Textile Mill owners in their war against the work ers. obarged a body of 100 women who bad been picketing tbe distriot atont tbe mill, pleading witb tbe strikebreakers. A large number of tbe defenseless women were knocked down by tbe armed force, who obarg ed witb fixed bayonets; and only ban ishment to some snob place as Siberia, of those imprisoned is wanting to Rus sianize tbe entire procedure. Por several weeks a strike bas been in pro gees in Lawrence, Mass. over tbe ques tion of a living wage. Tbe state of Massachusetts having io tbe interest of tbe public health fixed 51 boors a week as tbe maximum for mill opera tives, tbe American Mill Company reduced wages proportionally to tbe reduction of Lours, 'arguing tbat as tbe time of work was shorter tbiB re duction iti wages was uol a redaction. Bat tbe new wages peipetoated in another way tbe very pnblio evils tbe redaction of boors bad been intended to remove. Tbey drove tbe incomes of the poorer-paid operatives below tbe subsistence line of a deoent American life. Deuce the strike. Very soon after it began tbe American Woolen Company called for troops, and siuoe tbcttimo Lawrence bas been nnder military control, witb u large popula tion in great sofTeiing without work as tbe alternative of an inadequate livelihood with work for a large class. Tbe Bine Mountain Eagle, published at Canyon City, explodes over tbe por nioious freo ad gny, tbu-ly: News paper men must bo regarded as tbe easiest marks in tbe category. Tbey must be regarded as tools. It niukes little dillerence what schemers, job bets, robbers and politioiuus get in tbeir beads, tbey shoot it o tbe coun try piess for gratuitous dissemination. Every mail brings a waste basket of copy all designed to boost some littlo graft that a 2x1' pin head is Rotting bis "bam and" out of. Wo do not want their copy and wbon wu gut too lazy to write it or too "ouery" to clip it we will out the rug to one col umn cut in wood typo. Ibis is not an eleemosynary iustitutiou nor tbo head quarters for philuutbropia publioaticn of the other fellow's graft. The ob joct of tbis papor is to get tbe money to buy a slab of taoou aud thus keep tbo kids from going to skin and Louoh, and if tbe tost of the oouutry press Would look at tbe matter iu the same light, it would save tbo poutal depuit tnent about 100,000 tons of worthless stuff that is all tieadwl tor tbe prlut-fibep. Spain's Free and Easy Railways. An idea of the free and easy meth ods of tb railways In Spain Is given in this incident, related by Henry A. Frit nek in "Four Mouths Afoot In Spain:" When I reached the station next morning the platform gate was locked and the train I had Loped to take was legally leparted. A railway hanger on in rags and hemp sandals, however, climbed tbe iron picket fence and 6houted a word to the engineer. Then, beckoning to mo to follow, he trotted back into the building and rapped au thoritatively on the closed window of the ticket office. "Scnor," Le said as the agent looked out upon tis, "be kind enough to sell this caballcro a ticket" "The train Is gone," answered the agent. "Not so, senor," replied the bundle of rags haughtily. "I am having It Leld that this cavalier may take it" "Ah, very well," responded the offi cial, and, having sold me the ticket, he handed to the hanger on the key to the platform gate. As I passed through it the latter held out bis band, into which I dropped a copper. "Mnchlsimas graclas, cnballero," bo said, bowing profoundly, "and may your grace forever travel with God." Horses Pop Wadding. An old fashioned man who wished . to hire a team for tho afternoon saw ft nice pair of bays which ho thought he would like to drive. "Can't let you have them," said tbe liveryman, "They are wedding horsee." . "What's thatr tho Innocent pleasure seeker. "Horses that won't shy at old shoes and showers of rlco. Soma horsea seem prejudiced against matrimony. Anyhow, they loso their temper if thoy happen to bo hit by any of tho- irood luck emblems that are fired after a bridal couple and run away if they get half a chance. Every livery sta ble, however, keeps two or more Lorses who take a more cheerful view of the wedded state. Those bays are that kind. They are slated to head a wedding procession for tonight and are resting up for the job.." New York Times. Lest Worse Befall. Mrs. Jones came downstairs one evening after dinner and displayed herself to her husband, embellished with the result of her all day skirmish ing in the milliners' shops. "John," she asked, "bow do you like this hat on me?" "Oh, I don't know," he answered, "nave you bought it?" "Xo, not exactly. I brought It homo on approval. I Intend to take either this or another one, which is $3 more than this, but I thought" "Say, Florence," he interrupted, "that's the most becoming hat I ever saw you have on. Telephone to them first thing in the morning that you'll tike it, so as to make sure they'll not sell it to anybody else." Youth's Com panlon. Professional Germs In the Teeth. Everybody knows in a general way how important it is to give the teeth a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth out first thing in tbe morning. The object of course, is to remove the ac cumulation of bacteria which gathers on the teeth, gums, tongue and palate during the hours of sleep. How many germs do yoa suppose accumulate dur ing the night's sleep? In answer to this question E. C Bousfield, writing in the London Lancet, gives some in terestlng and rather startling figures, which are worth quoting. He states that he hns found the mouth on wak ing .Jn"' the 'morning to obtain about 8,000,000,000 lacterla capable of being removed by, a ffvefold rinsing with twenty-five cubic centimeters of water each time. After ordinary washing of the teeth with a hard toothbrush about one-fourth the number could still be pinned away. After using tooth pnstonly 120,000,000 were left The Republicans of Umiitillu aud Morrow counties have n good nitia in Fred Stolwer, cacdidute for district attornoy.

At present there 4s not a live gorilla In America : There have never been more than three, and only one of these lived moro than a few weeks. "I would give $10,000 for a gorilla In good condition," said the superin tendent of n noted zoological garden, "and wo could get the money back In a few months owing to tbe crowds of people who would come to see It. A gorilla would be a great drawing card, but gorillas cannot bo got for money. Tbey grow sometimes to 400 pounds In weight. Their home is n small strip of marshy land on the west const of Africa. Tho strip is perhaps 250 miles long and 100 miles deep, and tho gorillas stay back from tho coast and nro hard to get. Once out of their native element they die from climatic changes and lack of proper food." Detroit Free Press. Caste In Music. "Sometimes It 13 n disadvantage to have a musician with a reputation at the head of a hotel orchestra," said a hotel manager. "We found this out not long ngC'. when people from the middle west, who are among our best patrons, wanted our orchestra to play at a wedding in which they were In terested nnd which took place In a private house. As the company got a little warmed up they decided they would have some dancing, so the host ess asked the orchestra louder to piny. Would he? Not on your life. He was nn artist, he was, and it was not his business to descend to playing for dances. The result was that one of the guests had to play the piano, and we almost lout the trade of Hie family we were trying to bo especially nice to." New Yorlc Sun. Heine Mado Goethe Smile. When I visited Goethe, In Weimar, nnd stood before htm, 1 Involuntarily glanced at bis side to seo whether the caglo was not there with the lightning in his beak. I was nearly speaking Creek to him; but. as I observed that Le understood Gorman, 1 stated to him in Gorman that the plums on the road between Jena and Weimar wore very good. I had for so many long winter nights thought over what lofty nnd pro found things I would any to Goethe if ever I saw hlin. And when I saw him at last I said to him that the Saxon plums were very good! And Goethe smiled. Helnrlch Heluo, "Relsebllder." What President Tuft and bis heuoh niaa.
