Even saloon keep ers have some rights, especially when they are elected on a city council by the sovereign will of the people. If they have vio lated law, then proceed against them according to law. There is nothing to justify Governor West declaring martial law in Copperfield. The governor is playing spectacular politics at the taxpayers’ expense, and, no wonder, that state taxes are becoming more burdensome, It is unfortunate again for Tillamook County to be depriv ed of railroad facilities for sev eral weeks, but it may have a tendency to hasten the exten sion of the P. R. & N. from this city to Willamina, which seems to be the most natural outlet for a railroad from this county. It is to tie hoped that the Southern Pacific Co.'s officials will plan on making this extension, as it would afford better facilities in the winter and avoid interrup tion of train service. Another thing, the railroad would go through a section of country that needs a railroad.

The supreme court has in terpreted this law as applying to all state institutions, which in cludes the insane asylums, home for the feeble minded, state peni tentiary and others, and means that an extra corps of.employees and in some cases a triple corps, must be paid to keep these institu tions running. In one institution the law no compromise may. be made. A violation subjects the employer to a fine, and even though the employee may be satis fied the state labor commissioner is not and he seeks his pound of flesh as did Shylock. No one will dispute the fact that safeguards should be thrown around labor but they should be so placed as to mete out justice to labor and not wreck all else that may be effected.—Sheridan Sun.
