Troubles of an obstinate Law
breaker. ’
Up in Corvallis lives Mike Kline, who
if he had devoted his energies as persis
tently to some legitimate business as he
has to trying to run a saloon in that
town contrary to law, probably would
have been an honorably wealthy man.
Three times he has been convicted, in
connection with one or more others, of
selling liquor contrary to law. for Cor
vallis and Benton county yoted for pro
hibition last year. At first Kline thought
he could openly defy and beat the law,
but failed and was fined. Then he and
others started a saloon under the thin
cloak of an “athletic club”—convicted
and fined again. He persisted in anoth
er attempt with like result. His fines in
the first two cases amount to over
$1,000, besides 20 days’ imprisonment ;
and what his attorney’s fees have
amounted to only he and they know.
He may appeal, at large additional ex
pense, and with small chance of success,
for higher courts have held the local
option law constitutional.
In view of these facts the 'Corvallis
Times asks : “Has Mike Kline no friends
whocati induce him to give tip this fool
scheme on which he is bent ? With
$1,000 in tines, and more to come, and
with 20 days and more for him to serve
in iail, all without a single ray of hope
in the higher courts, will none of his
friends point out to him his position,
and advise him to close up his shebang
that the people, the courts, the laws
and three juries [have declared shall not
run ? These fines will have to be paid.
These sentences have to he served, The
juries are not a jest, the courts not a
hoax, the laws of the land are not a
joke.”
Folly takes many forms, and one of
them is obstinacy. Men have ruined
themselves financially hv law suits over
a calf or something else not worth $10
Mike Kline’s folly seems to be of this
type. But his persistency and obstinacy
in wrong doing mav be of some benefit
to others. The public will get some
money out of him, if he has it, and other
men will restrain themselves from trying
to break the laws, no matter what laws.
In a good, lawful occupation Mike
ought to succeed. He should switch.—

Reciprocity Absurdities.
The talk of reciprocity with Canada
strikes a hopeless obstructed whenever
the fact is taken up that the Dominion
admits British imports at a reduction
of one-third in customs duties. This
advantage is a mark of loyalty to the
empire, and is more likely to be increas
ed than reduced. To drop it would an
nounce to the world that Canada no
longer intended to treat the “mother
country” with this special proof of kin
ship and administrative favor, Realiz-
ing that they are in no position to dis
cuss reciprocity with the United States
without reserving the right to admit
British goods at a lower rate than any
other, the Canadians have grown in
different on the subject, aqd are at work
on a tariff revision that will be, in their
opinion, a more profitable harrier
against a growth of trade with this
country, conceived to be too rapid.
If Canadian estimates of what their
tariff commission proposes to do are
correct, the preferential rate on British
imports will be so readjusted that some
articles will be admitted at 75 per cent
reduction in duties, while in no case will
the preference be less than 10 per cent.
The rateswill be fixed to suit British and
'Canadian supposed interests, and no
other nation will get them. Canada
«an offer no reciprocity without this
limitation. New England sees the point.
Massachusetts is not likely again on the
same day to give 82,000 plurality to a
Republican President and 35,000 plural
ity to a Democratic governor like Doug
las whose battlecrv was reciprocity with
Canada.
Douglas must have seen a
light when he declined a renomination.
At all events, the votes of Massachusetts
showed last November that they saw
the folly of running after a vague issue
that breaks down every time its defina
tion is attempted —Globe Democrat.
Cannot Do Business.
Governor Chamberlain has issued a
proclamation dissolving a large number
of corporations that have not paid the
incorporation tax license for two years.
No doubt a large proportion of the com
panies have gone out of business. In re-
gard to the companies formed in Tilla
mook, or those interested in this county,
we find quite a few which went to the
wall without accomplishing anything,
particularly is this the case with the
railroad companies which failed because
there was nothing but “hot air” behind
them. Following is a list :

THE ALLEN HOUSE,
For a farmer who has no machine,
and has asked no favors of the bosses
Dr. Withycombe is doing pretty well as
a candidate for governor.
He seems to be a clean man who ap.
peals directly to the people, and is not
bartering and huckstering off every
office to get support.
The election of such a man would do
a great deal for the people of Oregon,
It would mean a man at the head of
our state who would represent the best
and cleanest tendencies of our common
wealth.
As a farmer he has been a success,
owning and operating an unencumbered
farm in Washington county, which in
sures him a living for life, whether he
gets an office or not.
As a scientific man he has made a
proud record in his work for the gov
ernment and for the people of this state,
promoting agriculture and the allied
animal industries.
As a man among men and a leader
among the students of the Agricultural
college and in his private life he has
l>een clean and upright, setting a good
example to the young men of the whole
state.—Journal (Salem).
