such a stir made that the whole game law system will be abandoned if the
present laws are enforced strictly. 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.

Tammany won out in New York. It ousted Sulzer throiiph its agents ii
the New York legislature and did as dirty and disgraceful a piece of work as
any legislature ever attempted. It remains to be seen whether the citizens of
the state will submit to this. About the only evidence so far i-how-n tiiat Sul
zor was at all criminial is the offers of the lecture bureaus to hire him. They
generally do not want anyone unless it is a criminal or degenerate, for that is
the kind the American public delights to get its mental pabulum from.

MAKE THE WATER COMPANY ANSWER.
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.

throwing sentiments, for this practice is almost certain to cost human lifo if

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

"September Morn" on fl man's body Is sufficient ground to prevent

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

from what we have seen of the sailor boys, we do not believe a tattoo of any
