CONCERNING ANARCHY.
TJST -where law cesses and anarchy begins is one of the things that has
J never been accurately measured and marked. The boundaries between
law and lawlessness are vague, shadowy ani undefined, and they have
been made more so for years past by the big corporations in their dual
ings with both the government and the people. Relying on tho immuni
ty from imprisonment their incorporeal condition gave them, the corporate
bodies took all kinds of chances in violating laws and overriding justice.
If caught with tho goods, if their operations Wore by some chance declared
unlawful, the only punishment possible under the law was a fine, and this
was no deterrent no punishment at all. It was instead a temptation to stretch
the laws on all occasions to thoir limit, and if perchance thoy were stretched
beyond the breaking pointj a fine settled the affair. If the corporation got
away with Its scheme it was ahead, if It did not, a fine trifling to it, ended
the matter. In other words they had everything to gain by stretching the law
to tho limit and eveon breaking It and nothing-to lose. The fine as a punish
ment, and the fine only, was a premium on dishonesty.
It might be'thonght this has nothing to do with, anarchy, but has it nott
What is anarchy, anywayt In its strict definition, and as it Is usually under
stood, it is the "absence of all law, chaos so far" as government is con
cerned." With this aa the definition, the big corporations were not anarch
ists, for they want above all things s, strong government that can and will
protoct them, but they want to dofy the law, and to have no law that can
Teach them. They might be called qualified anarchists. If mobs were per
mitted to plundor tho rich at will, if they wore permitted to tako the prop
erty of othrs by force, and without consideration, and without being punish
ed by the government, it would fill the popnlnr conception of anarchy. This
Is the condition now prevailing in Mexico, where, the .dispatches yosterday
told us tho rebel genornl, Villa, has issued a decree in which he accuses the
Terrazas and the Creel brothors; tho Rockefellers and Morgans of Mexico,
of "withholding taxation and of fomenting tho treachery of Orowo and
ITuorta."
Luis Terrains is the richest man in Mexico, and as he owns two thirds of
the stato of Chihuahua, ho is ono of tho largest land owners in tho world. The
Creels are his nephows and aro second only to him in wealth in Mexico.
Villa has declared all their lauds forfeited and has confiscated all their
personal property consisting of banks, thousands of cattle, mines, homes and
In fact all tholr belongings situated in Mexico. Villa annoiincos that if tho
robelllon succeeds noithcr tho Terrazjis nor the Creels will bo allowed any in
demnity for thoir property, and on top of this ho orders that all contracts made
by any of these people since Fchurary 18,101.1, bo declared absolutely void. Ho
also states that this vast property shall be given to the widows and orphans
produced by tho bloodshed in Mexico.At least, tho Torrazas and the Creels
will admit this.
How did the Torrazas and the Creels get the property! How doos any
man accumulate hundreds of millions of dollars f Can it be done in legiti
mate trade or in any honest mannorl If not, did, or did not tho gathering
of this vast wealth by theso peoplo vary in anyway from that adoptod and
used by Villa in taking it away from them! Ho took tholr property bocauso
tho rebellion, putting him at the head of an armed force, put him in a posi
tion where ho could do so, and thoy could not prevent it.
They accumulated tho snmo property because wealth and combination put
them in a position to take it, and thoso from whom It was taken to power
loss to prevent It. One anarchist was backed by tho power of numbers, tho
othor by the power of money. Ono gathered ,1st as Standard Oil In this
country has gathered in small amounts from the ontiro populace, ami hoarded
for Itself, the other took what was thus gathered and says it shall bo returned
to those loft widows and orphans in tho dreadful holocaust that was caused
largely by tho greed of the Terrains and tho Creels, and their class.
If tho confiscating of this wealth by Villa Is anarchy, what was tho orig
inal gathering of It by theso men from whom it was taken f What Is tho dif
ference between taking, practically by force, a little from very citizen of a
country for the benefit of one person, and the taking from one person for tho
benefit of allt Which is anarchy! Which is nott
We must confess that to us there Is a difference only In degree; hardly
that, in execution would bo the better expression. To the finical, tho meti
culous who calculate to the niceties of metemptosis, this Idea may seem mon
strous, but in a broad view of tho mat ter It Is to us six of ono and half dozen
of tho other, and as to tho results in ei ther ease, could thoy be followed up
and the sorrow and desolation, the suffering and death sequent to each bo com
pared, tho sudden and drastic methods of Villa would appear no worse, and
probably not so bad as the slow and Insidious methods of the big, Intangi
Mo, incorporeal individuals, the children of law, who despise their parents,
and who like any other parasites destroy that which gave them life.

. Than Usual Had Accident Not

Friday evening two fast basketball
games will be played at the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium. The first game will be
called at 8 p. m.; second at 9 p. m., giv
ing the fans two hours of excitement
for the small sum of 25 cents.
Basketball is one of the most excit
ing' games played div'aeeount of its be
ing played so fast and on a small space
and while it is not patronized as much
as baseball or football, the game is
gaining rapidly in popularity. ' From
present indications the season of 1913.
14 will be the greatest success in Salem
on record. Tho Yollow Jackets, with
out doubt, make up the fastest basket
ball team that ever represented the
Cherry City and Manager Baker hns
succeeded so far in staging games which
proved to be close and exceptionally in
teresting. As in baseball Baker has
proven that he is out to give the fans
thoir money's worth and then some.
Not content with staging one good
game for 25 cents, ho is now staging
two good games for the prieo of one,
and the gamos this Friday evening will
be no exception to tho rule.
Will Play Reservees.
Tho Chemnwa Indians will piny tho
Yellow Jacket Reserves at 8 p. m., and
inasmuch as they always have a fast
team and tho Reserves will be strength
ened considerably over last week, this
Umo should be fast and furious.
Tho big game of the evening will be
between the Yellow Jackets and Chris
tian Bros.' College, of Portland, at 9
p. m. Tho Tortlanders have a fine rec
ord to date and in past seasons have
been ono of the very best tepniB out of
Portland and tho Yellow Jackets in the
past two games have proven themselves
worthy of snpoprt. Had Forward Ed

better shape than URiinl. Conch fling

When the 1913 state fair books were
closed yesterday by the board, it was
found that, besides canceling a $1000
loan and paying off soma of the old
debts that were incurred in holding the
fair in 1912 during an unfortunate
week of inclement weather, the state
fair finances are In better standing at
the present time than they have ever
been before for many years. . The books
show that there is a balance left from
the 1913 session amounting to $4286.46.
With these encouraging figures on
the gain side of the cash book, Oregon's
largest annual show promises to grow
with rapid strides in the future.
A fine $60,000 brick structure for
the grounds is being planned at the
present time by State Architect Knigh
ton. This structure will take the place
of the old pavilion, and will be an addi
tion to the general appearance and ser
vice at the fair grounds, which has been
sadly needed for the past ten years.
The building will be ready for the 1914

this another hen also claiming Corvallis as her residence went Mrs. "C.Vi.V

"Bull" Durham Week Is Being Cele
brated In Salem by Attractive Gift
Scheme.
C. B. Hardy, of the Tobacco Com
pany of California, is in Salem this
week, advertising the famous old
"Bull" Durham Tobacco.
This week at tobacco dealers all over
town, every purchaser of a (ic bag of
"Bull" Durham is being presented
With a gold-plated Daffydil Scarf Pin.
These pins are an absolute novelty. Ev
ery render of Tad's Daffydils, which
appear in the papers all over the coun
try, will bo delighted to seenro ono.
They are at the same time an amusing
and. attractive ornament, and in con.
nection with the sale of "Bull" Pur
ham tobacco should prove particularly
attractive to local smokers.
"Po you know," said Mr. Hardy to
a reporter, "that Bull Durham is the
most extensively handled article in the
world. Sounds pretty big, doesnt it
and yet it is a fact. More than 00,00f
dealers hnndle 'Bull' Durham in thr
Cnited States alone.
"You might think that salt, or sugar
or flour was more extensively sold thai
'Bull,' but such is not the case, Sal'
and other products are sold ohly by gro
cers, of which there aro perhaps s
quarter of a million In this country
Bull' Purhnm Is sold by nearly all
grocers, and by tobacco stores, restau
rants, news stands and other places, sc
that the total sums up above 600,000
"Lest year the total sales of this
famous tobacco was 3.12,000,000 sacks
nearlv a million for everv day on thf
calendar. It is the 'universal' luxury
beintf smoked by every class, from col
lege professor or millionaire to tho cow
hoy on the plains. It Is a regular ration
in the army and navy, and a bag of
'Bull' sticking out of a sailor's blouse
or tho soldier's khaki shirt Is a familia
sight.
"Better buy a 'bag of 'Bull' at you
dealer's this week, and get one of th'
Daffvdil Tins."
