STREET OPINIONS OF INDISCREET JUDGES.
TWO Portland judges have handed down street opinions on the law re
quiring examination before being given license to marry, and each
calls it class legislation becauBe the law doea not alBO require that
women bo examined tho same as the men. These being street opin
ions have no weight, and it miht be added are far fetched ideas about
tho law. Borne judges, as woll as some men, try to square the law to meet
the facts instead of monsuring tho facts and wegiliing them in the scales of
tho law. ,
Let us see for a moment how much tliero is in the assertion that this
examination law is class legislation because it docs not require women as
well as men to take this examination.
Let us measure it up by the other every day affairs of the country as
connected with the law. Was it class legislation that permitted men to vote
and refused the same privilege to women f Is it class legislation that now
provides that only property owners, taxpayers, can vote at a school election?
Is it class legislation that gives the parents of children of school age the
right to vote and denies it to the bachelor or the man with no children? Is
it class legislation that forbids the selling of liquor to a boy of twenty
years and 11 months, and letting another a month older buy all he can pay for?
Is the city ordinanco in Portland forbidding women to wear "X-ray"
gowns class legislation because it does not forbid men wearing them? Is it
clafs legislation whon congress makes the man with the larger income pay
a greater per centage of tax than his poorer neighbor? Is it class legisla
tion that sorts out those from whom tho jury list is selected and that keeps
certain citizens off tho jurios? Is it class legislation that prescribes the
length of hatpin a woman may wear and says nothing about the men?
Tho basis for tho profound opinion so gonerously handed down on the
stroots by these "judges" seems to be that tho law drives couples desiring
to mjirry to Vancouver, affil thus cuts into tho matrimonial business of those
authorized to perform the marriage ceromony in Portland. It is class legis
lation to the extent that it jolts that class.
DAYTON'S NEW COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
AYTON, Ohio, is trying, or inventing, tho very latest thing in the way
H H of city government, going the commission form considerable more thau
I L one better. The Dayton idea Is to have a commission of five that
j &(,t as a sort of board of directors and legislature for the city,
and will have entire chargo of its affairs. It will elect a manager,
who will under tho regulations mado by it have entire charge of the city'B
business. Ho noed not be a citizen, and thus the commission will have a
wide field to select its manager from. Galveston wrecked, saw the neces
sity of strict business management to put its affairs In good shape again, and
rcnlizing the futility of trying to get nrnults under the old stylo of city gov
ernment with a mayor and council, adepted the commission form and with
startlingly good results. They were so good, indeed, that, other cities bm
taking the hunch given by Galveston, and are adopting the Galveston form.
Dayton wag contcut with the old cumbersome style of city government so
long as she was in good shape and could stand lots of blamed foolishness,
but when the floods left here desolated and down, the old methods were soon
discovered to bo inadequate to meet tho conditions, and she has taken hold of
. tho matter in a strictly business way to rehabilitate herself.
Tho city will now bo managed entirely by one man, who will direct"all its
affairs, buy all its supplies, make all its contracts, attend to all its business,
being responsible only to the five commissioners, who, when thoy have de
cided that certain things must be done, simply iurn them over to tho manager
to carry out. Tho workings of tho now system will bo watched with keen
interest by the balanco of tho country, for all the cities are awakening to
tho fact that tho old style of city govornmont is obsolote, cumbersome, crude
and thoroughly unbusinesslike. I
SENATOR HITCHCOCK'S DISCOVERT.
SfcNATOH HITCHCOCK hns mado a discovery, lone that is no loss start
ling, to him, because It was so long delayed in tho discovery. He has
suddenly discovered that In matters of important legislation all wis
dom docs not necessarily reside within tho ranks of one party, even
though it bo tho dominant party in the law-making body. Ho has dis
covered that tho dominant party should endifivor to make as good laws as
possible, and that sugestion, counsel, advico and amendments coining from the
minority, and outside tho party lines, should havo opportunity for consider
ation. This is undoubtedly good, hard horse sense, and this makes its discovery
by a member of tho United States sonptc the more remarkable. In all busi
ness affairs the minority has a voice, though its suggestions may not be
adopted, or its position sustained. In politics, in the making of laws, this
fenturo of business is disregarded, and the will of the majority is carried
out without lyiug any attention to the points made by the minority. In
iMisimws these would bo given consideration, and if apparently for the beet,
would be adopted. In politics nothing is adopted that tho other follow wants
or suggests, The fact that ho sugosts it is sufficient warrant for turning it
down for the politician "fears the Greek, bearing gifts." He thinks the
other fellow Is playing politics and trying to "put one over on him,' " and
he dodgea like a rabbit in the brush, lest ho bo hit with something he knows
not what, but that would hurt him. Senator Hitchcock's discovery should be
patented lor the especial benefit of tho United (States senate, with privilege
to tho lower houso to ue it occasionally, without being penalized therefor.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP INCREASING.
, VNICIPAL OWNKU8H1P of all public utilities such as water svstems,
gas and electric plants, has taken a strong hold on the American
people, and the idea is being put la practice much more eitensivoly
than most of us are aware of. Kocont statistics show that fully one
half of all water plants in this country aro municipally owned. The
xtrcentaga of municipally owned lighting plants Is almost, if not fully as

large. These have as a rule proved so profitable that the idea of city own
ership is extending to include street cars, garbage plants, ice plants, every
thing that is used generally by the public. The idea has taken so firm a hold
that it is breaking down all the old barriers raised against it, and is invad

cule St. Louis is liable to own and operate a municipally owned dairy, and
among the other things proposed for city ownership are saloons, farms and
gardens, lodging houses, bath houses, and even a daily paper.
The opinion is becoming general that if the city can own and operate one
public utility so the public is benefitted thereby it can operate them all. The
only question is "can the city operate the special semi-public business so
that the public gets as good service at a lower rata If it can then it should
do it, and if not, let it alone. In most cases the belief is that the service
can be rendered just as well by the city as by private companies, and at a
lower cost to the consumer, and this belief is responsible for the increasing
ownership of public utility businesses of all kinds.

N. C. Maris Tells of Interest in Agri
culture and State Fair Through
out Oregon.
N. C, Maris, a member of the state
board of agriculture, spent yesterday
looking over the stnte fair grounds. He
i also connected with the Oregon ag
icultural college. His duties take him
all over the state and he reports an
ncrease of interest in the district.
county and stato fairs. He finds thou
sands of people who never have at
tended the state fair and hundreds who
ave never seen their own county or
district fairs. He says that when the
Oregon state fair 0ens September 29
and closes October 4 it will be Bhown
that practically tho entire state will
have been represented in the exhibits.
Fifteen fairs will be held shortly be
fore or shortly after the state fair and
the state fair will have exhibits from
all of these. There will be ten conn
tics represented in the county exhib
its in addition to the collective exhibits.
Ho finds in conversing with the ceo-
plo that tho increased interest in coun
ty and district fairs is causing people
to move from the city to the country
and become producers instead of con
sumers. He has appeared before doz
ens of schools and encouraged the chil
dren to take a greater interest in grow
ing the products of the soil. He per
sonally knows of six families that
moved from the Woodlawn section nf
Portland to the country as a direct re
sult of the children's interest in the
system of gardens inaugurated in Port.

Mr. Maris finds the "back to the
farm" interest general thronarhout the
state, and ho traces the fact to the
agitation going on in Oregon today. In
his talks to the schools ha has dwelt
upon the camping feature at the fairB.
and he necourages neighbors, friends
and relatives of all concerned to in

grounds, and thoroby cause the chil

UNITED rRESS LS1SED Villi. If
Budapest; Hungary, Sept. 4. Socie
ty girls of Budapest suffering from
ennui are turning "detective" in
search of excitement and mental ex
hiliration. This latest stunt of young
women in good social circles has just
been disclosed in a love romance in the
police department, which has lejl to the
discovery that a considerable number
of prominent girls between 18 and 25
young women of means and highly
educated are on the regular roster of
the police as female "Sherlocks."
The announcement of the engage
mcnt of a bank clerk to a prominent
society girl, has resulted in tho dis
closure of the fact that the polico have
a corps of lady detectives from the
best families,
Bccently a thousand dollars disap
peared from the cashier's window in
one of the largest banks. Two clerks
were present at the time. They asked
to be senrehed. In the coat pocket of
one '.if these was found a largo new
poeketbook containing tho missin?
money. He professed his innocence so
earnestly that the bank turned ihe case
over to the police to unravel thj mys
tery. The regular detectives failed,
and finally the chief called in a young
girl of 18, daughter of a prominent
family, who had secretly joined tho
"secret police," out of desire "to
have something for her brain to do."
Locates Thief.
This young woman had upon sever
al occasions unraveled mysterious
cases, and was tho best detective on
the force. She qnickly discovered
that tho poeketbook found in tho pock
et of the accused bank clerk came from
a certain store. She obtained work in
the store, discovered that one of the
store girls wns in love with the sec
ond bank clerk, had presented him
with the poeketbook tho day before
the robbery.
With this Information, the police
confronted the other clerk. lLs con
fessed. The accused man, who was at
illierty, had disappeared. The girl was
set at work to find him. She discov
ered him on the bank of Danube writ
ing a fnrewell note before jumping '.n
to the wiiter. The denoument was the
announcement of an engagement and a
wedding in September. Tho bank re
fused to prosocuto tho other clerk, and
has enabled him to go to America to
start life anew.
It was admitted at police headquar
ters that there are a number of young
women from some of the best families
m the city, on the "secret roster."
Tho idea originated with a young
woman ntter reading Sherlock Holmes,
She thought it would be "great fun"
to be a detective. She let several girl
friends in on tho secret, and they also
became regular police detectives sub
ject only to special duty.
Tired of Social Doings.
Now, that several of them have be
come known, their usefulness is gone.
One of these, a hnndsome miss of 1!),
declared that she turned Sherlock
Holmes because she became tired of
social doings, and, as the status of her
family niide it Impossible to do any
work without "disgracing" tha family
n.id herself in the eyes of her friends,
she wanted snmo "brain exercise. "
Speaking of her work, she said. " rt
is splendid to think nnd think pier the
mysteries of b case, Uy 0 pt onr,
self in the place of the criminal and
sense his way of thinking; to theorize
and put your wits against those of
some one else. I think women, be
cause of their higher developed intui
tion, are particularly adapted for it."
