The hunting season closes during the middle of the present month bu the open season on freak laws starts on the date of the Oregon state leg islature convenes. Here is the first of the series. A member of the senate (we sup press the name out of kindness to the gentleman), would prohibit the use of pump guns. He in effect, pro poses by legislative enactment to con fiscate every gun of this character in the state and require the unfor tunate owners to purchase weapons of a different make as a condition to remaining among the ranks of sports men. lo discuss such a proposition through the columns of a newspaper would be an insult to the intelligence of its subscribers but we presume that there will be at least a few high and mighty legislators who will run the doubtful risk of insulting the in telligence of the members of that hon orable body. While upon the subject of freak laws and freak legislators we suggest that it might be a good idea to regu late the number of oysters in each stew. A minimum of six oyster should be required . from every hotel or restaurant proprietor. It might also be a good plan to regulate the mode of dress of both men and wo men and to prohibit the expenditure of more than ten cents per week in any moving picture establishment Yes, let us plaster the statulc hook? with the handiwork of fools and give the courts and lawyers some thin,? to do. Tbe crying need of the state is more freak legislation. Its rn ex pensive luxury but the peaple be damned. It gives some of our min ature statesmen experience in law making and. keeps their minds o:cu pied. We need more laws for the people to violate and for the judgej to interpret. Be it said, however, to the credit of the Linn county delegation that they are men who may be depended upton to frown upon this particular class of legislation. They are both capable and willing to puncture these legislative balloons and will doubtless be beard from during the session which convenes during the present month. JOHN BULL WARNED There will be general approval in this country of the action of the gov ernment in demanding of Great Brit ain an immediate improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet Interference with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States has reached a point where patience ceases to be a virtue. The United States government has not been unmindful of the injustices, but in handling a delicate situation it has acted with commendable cau tion and restraint. The latest communication to Great Britain urn the subject, is, to judge from the' Washington dispatches, couched in more peremptory tones than former protests, which brough: little or no results. Its preparation has been a matter of great care, oc cupying the attention for over a month of Secretary of State Bryan and his assistants, and finally, dur ing the past two weeks, tiaving th personal attention of President Wil son himself, who revised its phrase ology with minute care. While de claring at the outset that the repre sentations are made in a friendly spir it, definite information as to Great Britain's attitude is asked in order that the United States may take such measures as will protect American citizens in their rigiits. The British government can hard ly be so blind and foolish as to ig nore or treat lightly this grave com munication. Great Britain can ill afford at this time to lose the friend ship of the United States, which a continuance ' of her unjustifiable course in the detention and seiiure of cargoes of legitimate merchandise consigned to neutral ports would forfeit. AMERICAN MULES USED IN THE EUROPEAN WAR Kansas City, Jan. 7. Twelve hun dred or more of America's sturdy mules are joining the armies of Great Britain weekly according to stock yard cxnerts today. Already lor total en listments" of mules in this country exceed 7,000, and there is a probability that the record exports ol more than 150.000 of thc-e animals during the Boer war will be broken if the Eu ropean war is prolonged. Inspections of mules are beirg held by British buyers at Kansas City. St. Louis and Nashville, Tennessee. The animals are costing the British gov ernment nearly $250,(XW weekly. Her purchases to date represent an ex penditure of more than $1,250,000. Great Britain has been able to raise billions of dollars in srecial war loans, but dealers in mules declare that her enormous expenditure for their ani mals prove that she considers them Imlispensible in war. While Great Britain is the only European belligerent now buying mules for her armies, negotiations are being carried on with asents of the French and Italian governments by Missouri mule dealers, and it is prob able that these countries will place contracts for mules in the near future. A lack of appreciation of the great val ue of mules for war purvses. dealers of Missouri say. is the reason of the failure of the Fren,h govern nrrt. .Many mules which earned re tirement on pastures long ago are be ing "enlisted" by the British army buyers. This is due lo liie fact thai llie British compacts call for iiiulrs between -six and ten years old. As many mules 14 to JO years old have teeth as good as thoc of their 10- year-old to the battlclicilds of Europe I tie llritish amy buyers reunite t'.at t!e mules oilercd them stand 15.1 to 15 .1 hands high and measure 66 inches around the irinh und seven inches around the shin bore, lape iresurcs are used m passu g on mules submitted for the inspection of ii. c nnusn agents. 1 '-o inspectors ol the r.n.t;lisa government have meaS' ured and accepted ns many as ,225 mules in a single day's work of less than eight hours. (ireat Britain would have undoubt edly have purchased mniy more mules than she has already t: hen for her ar mies hut for the f;.ct that her war de partment is experiencing great diffi culty in obtaining tranrpoit room for the animals.
