The law permitting the gfime warden to confiscate the hunter's gun if caught violating the game laws, is, it stri'es us, not worth the paper it is written on, for the simple reason that it provider for punishing ono man more severely than another. This phase of the matter will probably bo tried out in the near future.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION is respectfully urged to compel the Sa lorn Water Company to mako its showing, if it has any, and that it tako action at once in the matter so soon as that showing is made. This matter was roforrcd to tho commission several months ago, yet up to date no action has boon taken by the water compuny other than to ask time to make an estimate of the actual valuation of its property. We presuino it has done this. If it has not, it has had plenty of timo to do it and should bo made to come to tho center with its showing, if it has any. Of courso it is in no hurry, aud unless the commissioners forco it to act it will not do so. Why should itf It is now charging un outrageous price for water. Tho city 's water bill is larger than its bread bill and there is some thing the matter with the water bill. The averugo family is paying at least $25 a year for water, and tho company is charging this city in round numbers 100,000 a year for water. Of course wo do not know tho exact sum, nor is there any way that this can bo learned unless the commission ciui unearth it. Wo suggest that until tho company files its report that tho rates be cut in two in the middle. Wo venturo to Bay that this will cause it to find out quickly wliat its property is worth. It has no trouble in finding out how much it is worth for taxation purposes, why dues it not know what it is worth for other purposes. Tho commission has given it ample timo and tho citizens of this community are getting weary waiting for somo action on the mattor. Every month the settlement is delayed allows tho company that much more rake-off at tho expense of tho public. Delay on the part of tho commission is almost criminal now that ample time bn been given tho company to inako its defense. ISalem docs not want the company treated other than with absoluto fairness, but it insists on. having the matter settled aud that soon. Wo believe wo are ueing charged double what wo should be charged for water, and wo will con tinue to, so believe until convinced otherwise Every month's delay meniiB tho payment by Salem people to the water company of from $.1000 to $5000 more than is just and right, pnd moro than will yield a fair and just return on the money invested. The railroad commission should not allow us to be cinched in this way. if the company has neglcetod to get its figures, just cut its rates in two until tho matter is settled and scehow quickly it can get there with all kinds of information, it it refuses to file its statement, let it delay bo paid by it and not tax the community with the expenso occasioned by it. A CANTANKEROUS. WOMAN ON HIS HANDS. POOH 01.1) UNCLE SAM is to be pitied, for no sooner is ono trouble fairly out of tho way thnn Another is en hand to worry him. It is just ono blamed thing after another, and sometimes two of them. Tho lust is Mrs. I'ankhurst, now in detinue at New York and sentenced to bo de ported, but whoso caso is up on appeal. 1C there is such a tiling as an undesirable citizen, sho is "IT." Hhe frankly udmits that she advocates ar son, bomb-throwing, anything to accomplish her ends, drawing the lino only, sho so. s, at taking human life. This latter is not bomo out by her bomb throwing sentiments, for this practice is almost certain to cost human lifo if carried to liny extent. It resolves itself fhen Into dealing with a woman who admits sho advocates crime even to tho killing of innocent persons, in order to gsjii her ends, the enfruchisemet of English women. This is a matter where maudlin sentiment should stand aloof, Bex should not be considered. A female bomb-thrower is just as bad hs a main one. A fe male murderer Is just as undesirable as a male one. A female firebug is as dangerous as a mule one. She admits she Is all of these and she should either bn deported or the law wiped off the statute books. If sho is not an undesirable, then there is no such a thing. Sho says if she is seut out of the country, she will bo sent to her death. That may bo true, but if so, It will be death by suicide, and if a threat to commit suicide is enough to base a setting aside of the law on, then nil any one liable to doHr Intion would have to do to prevent being sent out of the country aud back to their own, would be a threat to commit suicide. Mrs. I'ankhurst snys she will go on a hunger strike. That is her privilege. It is also the privilege of the of ficials to puss her food in to her cell and leave the balance to her. One thing U certain aud that is that if she starves herself to death, she will have done something to earn a snmll portion of gratitude from a thankful world. Sho will have done at least one good thing for humniiitv, MAY REQUIRE CABINET SESSION. There Is universal complaint from one end of the valley to the other ami crosswise, too, about the game laws. From present Indications there will be Salem citizens are paying more for their water than for thoir bread. . When the water bill is larger than tho bread bill there is t-omelhing the mailer with the water bill. '-' J' ill'-' I fc'' Vv, t fit . , Scene from "The Lure," at the Grand Opera House, Friday night, Oct. 24. "THE LURE." This city is to see, next Fridny even ing, that immense Now York success, "Tho Lure," which luis been tho dram atic sensation of the present season there, which has excited a furore. of public comment by its treatment of the white slave traffic. This vital theme would in itself, no doubt have sufficed to attract the crowded houses which have been witnessing every performence of the play since its original product ion lit Mnxino Klliott's theatre in the eastern metropolis; but, added to this appealing subject of such wide spread mitinuul agitation just now, its the genuine drumtitic power of the play wright, (leorge Scarborough, who has been praised unanimously by the New York critics as the greatest new dram atist given to the American stage since Eugene Walter "I'nid in Full." made his debut with ON TOP OF IIIH TltOl'llLM over Mrs. I'ankhurst, fnelo Sam is also fac ing m soul harrowing problem In having to decide whether a tattoo of "September Morn" on fl man's body Is sufficient ground to prevent his admission Into the I'ulled States navy as an Able-bodied seaman, The question is whether "September Morn" Is no obscene picture. Tho law reqquires that no H'rseu who bus this class (that is if it Is Immoral) of pictures tattooed on him shall be permitted to join the navv. It Is of course not to be thought of tluit a man of this class should be allowed to serve along- I sine or the ilelicnlcly nurtured .tackles lest they too become corrupted. Still, from what we have seen of the sailor boys, we do not believe a tattoo of any I Ind would hurt, their morula much. The supposition Is that a sailor Is enlist d for service, for fighlln,, If necessary, and for other work for this great and glorious country, lie Is supinwed to wear a uniform and to not apxar III pub lie without it. Of course, if this man was wanted for exhibition purposes, his tiitloo marks and brand might be objectionable. If he Is wanted to hung in a picture gallery in the "all together," his brands might Interfere with his de sirability. However, the bigwigs are holding a solemn conclave over tho mat ter and we how will arrive at unrno conclusion that will protect the innocent jafkies from contamination even though It means that this applicant's services must be dispensed with.
