OREGON'S ASININE GAME LAWS.
THE OREGON game and fish laws have been printed distributed, and
some of the matter contained in the 198 page tome has perhaps, been
read. It is a notable example of legislation gone stark, staring crazy.
it seems as though every Ingislator who had nothing else to do to
kill time, put In in his 40 days at the capital trying to see how much
"damphoolishnoss" be could Inject into the so-called game and fish laws.
Just think of 200 pages of laws to "protect game and fish," and scarcely
one of the entire lot bearing the earmarks of common sense. It is all right
to protect the game, but surely the average man has some rights which game
and legislatures should respect.
There. are game preserves made any and every place, their boundaries are
not marked In anyway that an average man can discern nor is there any
way in which these boundaries may be discovered, other than to do some
shooting on some of them, when a game warden will be around to arrest the
red handed criminal, whom thoy, apparently, neglected to warn in anyway
a to the boundaries of the prosorves, for the purpose of gotting a chance
to arrest and punish him. ,
Game .preserves are laid out by mentioning sections of land by number
and township, and privute preserves are doclared without any information
being given out whatover.
About the most asinine thing about the whole game laws however is
the provision that only male birds are allowod to be killed. Nearly all tho
game birds, especially tho upland birds mate more or less, and thoy do not
multiply promiscuously. The result of killing off all tho males, was never
njlrontly thought about by tho loarnod gentleman who made theso laws,
However under the wise administration of those asinine laws thore will
soon be more game wardens than game birds, and the legislators, it is hoped
will then declare an open season of not less than six months for gamo war
dens, so that they, like the birds may bo exterminated.
As the law stands now a hunter must carry around a 200 page volume
of game laws, a sectionlr.od map of the country, and every time he comes to
a fonce sit down and read it through. This would not be so bad if the matter
had any intorost but reading about Sees. 1, 15, 0, and the undivided S. W. of
the 8, E. 1-4 of Bee. 14, T. 3 8. of R. 2 W. and so on ad Infinitum, is not
absorbingly interesting evon to a man at home and cortnlnly not of any in
terest at all to a man with a gun who is in doubt as to whether he can find
out what be wants to know before it grows dark and he has to start for
home. '
OUT THE BACON THIN
Eighteen years ago today bacon sold for 10 cents a pound in Minnea
polis. Eighteen years ago, tho big packers had not yet fully capitalized all
the possibilities of that sort of Co-operation which makos the anti-trust
laws look silly.
Today bacon is willing for 40 cents a pound In Minneapolis with othor
moiit products up In proportion. And tho pnekors at Chicago are about to
give a banuqot at which the gnosis are to be attlrod In hunting costume and
one of the stunts will be tho hunting down of real live gamo released from
cages In the dining hall.
Meantime the packers' small game In othor parts of tho country will
cut their bacon with a safoty razor to glvo it area if not substance and
everybody will bo wondering at tho growth of socialism and other more radi
cal movements looking to social revolution. Minneapolis News.

THE TARITT ANN MEN'B CLOTHES.
"I do not know anything about the tariff," said ona of tho best known
tailors in Tacoma, "but I know tht tho first effect of it is that by pa
trons will get better clothes than they have over hud before for the same,
or posslblo less, money. Many a man will be wearing woolen clothes this
year who has not worn puro woolen goods for years, although he has paid
tho price,'"
The high protective tariff has placed a cruel bunion on tho consumers.
It has made clothes dear In price anil cheap in quality. It hns been prov
ed that thero is no pooplo In the world that wears as much shoddy as the
American. A direct connection hail been traced between disease and this

manufacturer of tho enst and the far western wool growers, was stronger
than tho Republican party a represented in congress.
Now things hare changed, and greatly for tho better. Wool Is to be
free of tar, and the levies on woolens have been much reduced. The new

Smoot'e constituents, but It Is much moro fnvnraldo to tlio people, Hut It
will also be good for the manufacturer, since under it they will be blo

the loss inflicted on other brandies of the Industry may make less money.

The banker In the east seem to think that the control of the Issue
of currency should be controlled by them. This under the much praised na
tional bank system they were permitted to do. At the time this system wa
Inaugurated It wa probably the best that could be dene, but It 1 questiona
ble if it is the best now. Times change and systems must change with
them. The government reserves to itself the exclusive right to issue and
therefore to control the gold money, the silver, copper and nickle money;
why then should it make a distinction as to paper moneyt If it is right
for it to control the iBsue of all metallic money why draw the lipe at

It is perhaps somewhat out of a newspaper's province to discusB money
for it must speak largely from hearsay on that subject but still it can ap
ply the doctrine that what is sauce for the goose is also good dressing for
the gander, even to the money question, and it at least knows something
about paper.

bench as follows: Justices McKenna,
Holmes, Day Lnrton, Hughes, Van
Dovanler, Lamar and ntney. A re

Canon City, Colo., Oct. 13. From a
habitual criminal, showing at times ten
dencies to violent insanity, Jeff Lee, a
prisoner at the penitentiary here, has
been transformed into a quiet, gentle,
man, perfectly sane. The skill of the
surgeon has made Jeff Lea a man. Bo
contly his skill was trephined and a
pressure on the brain removed. As a
result, Warden Tynan today announced
that his cure had been effected.
Until the operation, half of Lee's
20 years had been replete with crim
inal acts and periods of insanity. He
went to tho penitentiary in December,
1912, to servo from two to five years
for bulgrary and grand larceny. Ho
was sullen and mean; ho constantly do

rules, Two months ago he attackod
