Thus saith the senator: "Under the guise of protection, under the guise of doing something to heir the agricultural interests in some particular item, you ask their support for a bill which means that for every dollar of benefit they may derive out of the bill they must pay $100 in taxes to benefit some one else, or for the one percent of protection which they may get under the bill they must pay the 99 percent of protection which is af forded to other people." According to The Oregonian, "Ezra Meeker is to travel the Oregon trail once more, as he did in the early days of 1854. but this time with cam era meii attending to take pictures of historic places along the way. Now well past the 90-year milestone, but stlil strong and hearty and full of interest in life, Ezra Meeker is one of the most remarkable pioneer char acters of all time. May he have luck in his present venture, which has a real historic value, and may he live to retrace the trail many times more." The recall v6te is in the nature of a warning to public service commis sioners, now and hereafter, that they must decide all rate cases against a public utility and never against the public. We've an idea that the newly-elected commissioners will bear this outstanding fact in mind and thereby hold their jobs. What the public iB willing to pay for a partic uar service, and not what it ought to pay, will be the impelling motive of their official acts and decision. Ford's newspaper informs us that "you cannot poison a hen with strychnine." Don't want too. Who would want to eat a neighbor's pred atory hen after it had been poisoned with strychnine? The time is comii:g when everybody will take their huts off to the for mer kaiser, according to a German royalist. Possibly that is, every body attending his obsequies. The man in the moon has been frowning lately at that Maryland parson who by marrying one thous and couples in one year has had a lot to do with the tied. News dispatches speak of a re markably successful seance attended by Dr. Doyle at Toledo; but look out for some cutting remarks from the Toledo Blac'e. Dr. Carl Akelcy. noted scientist and explorer, seys the gorilla is "a chum my fellow." We arc willing to take ins word for it without personal in vestigation. The American public may be "groaning under the burden of tax aticjti," but according to estimates vim spend a billion this year at soda fountains. One gets mo comforting information out of that article "To Kill Pests With War Gases," in the Lit. Digc. It doesn't refer to the cornetist next door. Wo trust those Knglish bird men who are flying around the world will he careful about b. imping into it. as the world is a bit sensitive just now. Our office imp opines that the Marshfield candidrte didn't make the Hall he expected, even though the votes weren't Oleott by the governor. "The radio religious service will never be popular, because the women can't see each other's hats," accord ing to the Washington Post. In his "stinging attack on the American government," Andre Tar dieu, French publicist, reminds us of an ant assaulting an elephant. The Boston Herald thinks that "when Mr. Rockefeller says it is hard to give away a million, he probably meant without missing it." We do not know whether or not Mars is inhabited; but if it isn't we will be disposed to regard it as a lucky planet. Whatever else awaits Banker Mor gan in Europe, it isn't disappoint mentif he has gone there to loan money. A party from the American Mu um of Natural History cables from Gobi, in Mongoliis; "Expedition im mediately discovers important ere UCpuus and fertuug beds with frag mentary fossils of mammals and din osaurs." Now will somebody please tell us just what that expedition has discovered ? Let us be grateful, also, that our share in the rejoicing over the cut in freight rate3 isn't a railroad share. European conferences may not be altogether successful, but they are preferable to European wars. We are among those who expect to derive much enjoyment frdm Mr. Hearst's vacation in Europe. Two white girls, sisters, married Chinese at Vancouver. Possibly seek ing Celestial blis3. Looks as though the soviet govern ment were too well known to be recognized. FACTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST Revealed by Extensive Excavation! on Sites of Revolutionary Camps n the Hudson Height!. Three years of excavating on sltea of Revolutionary camps In the Hud son highlands, near West Point, has enabled a commission of the New York Historical society to establish Inter. esMng historical facts that have long keen In dispute. The chief source of Information has been refuse heaps of the armed camps of Washington, and many facts have been learned merely from ex amining the buttons In the old dumps. Examination of cooking utensils and cutlery, broken pottery and other Im perishable articles has aided the com mission. The buttons, still showing the Insignia after a century and a half, show that ten Massachusetts regiments, flb from Connecticut and one from Rhode Island, occupied the main fortress In the highlands. But tons worn In one camp by Connecticut soldiers bore an Imprint In honor of the birth of the French dauphin, show ing that the soldiers were In camp after 1781. Similar Investigation on the sites of British camps show their troops lived In much more luxury than the men who won Independence for Amer ica. Sliver buckles, chlnn, and much broken glass from mm containers tell the story of the Invaders' rations. The Revolutionary troops used hand-forged forks, pewter spoons, and left no bro ken glass. The excavations have also revealed the extent of certain fortifications, and forts have been discovered of which there was no record. THIS RIDE A REAL THRILLER Ascent by Elevator to Summit of Alpine Peak Worth Going Long Journey to Take. For yenrs one of the most thrilling incidents of a visit to the Alps has been the ascent of the Jungfrau on the cog-rail road that starts from Klein Scheldegg, at an elevutlon of 0,711 feet and climbs the mountain side at the startling grade of 25 per cent, or an angle of about 22 degrees, till It reaches Jungfraujoch, at an ele vutlon of 11,889 feet. In an Illustrated article In Popular Mechanics Mngazlne Is told how It Is now proposed to add to this wonderful experience In mountain climbing a still further thrill, by comparison with which the former will appear qulle Insipid. From the present end of the track the mountain soars another 2,200 feet to the summit at an elevation of 13,547 feet. By means of excavations and tunnels the track will be extended un til It reaches a spot In the center of the conical summit directly below It! hlgheBt point. From the end of this tunnel a shaft will be bored vertically to the summit Itself, and In this shaft passenger elevators will be Installed, so that Alpine mountaineers will end their long thrilling railroad climb with an elevator trip like an exaggerated ride to the top of the Woolwortli building In New York city. The climax will Bad them landed nt the extreme summit of one of the highest peaks In the Alps, with a view of a world of snow-clad, craggy mountain top around them. Power From Glacier. On account of the scarcity of water power In the Bern district of Switzer land, It is proposed to utilize tho water from the glaciers In a systematic man ner. The Baehllls glncler Is the first one selected ; and by closing the natur al drainage, and constructing a mason ry dam, the engineer! are to form n storage reservoir of 113,1100,000 cubic feet capacity. (Irlmel, which upon the completion of the new dam 492 feet long, 325 feet high by 202 feet wide at the base and 12 feet 0 Inches wide at the top, becomes the main storage basin for the entire Installation. Two new pow er stutlons are to be construct ed, developing 120,000 horsepower In one anil 00,000 liursepower tu the other. Vivid Obituary. DiedAged fifty-six years, six months and thirteen days.
