CONCLUSION NOT JUSTIFIED.
ONE of those scientific chaps that is always finding
something the matter with the human race now
comes to the front, and to prove that the race is de
teriorating cites the fact that in 188: the English
standard for admission into the army was six feet. In
1843 this was reduced to five feet six inches; in 188:5 it was
further reduced to five feet three inches, and in 1901 to
five feet. From this the learned savant jumps at the con
clusion that the race is growing smaller, and foresees the
time when it will at last "peter out." Of course he does
not consider that men are not as anxious in these days to
be soldiers as in the olden times, and that it is not because
the men are smaller, but because they are wiser, and real
ize there is something better in life than soldiering, that
the standard for enlistment must be broadened. The sup
ply of men for this purpose is not equal to the demand.
Instead of getting smaller, a hundred things show the race
is, if anything, growing larger and certainly longer lived.
Take the armor of the doughty knights of old now in the
English museums and the average man of today cannot
possibly squeeze into the largest of them. This is certi
fied to by dozens of men as wise as the professor who has
just learned by English army statistics that the race is
shrinking. The fact is the race is shrinking from service
in the army, instead of in size.
Huerta resigned yesterday, and is attempting to get
out of the country with a large amount of loot. His exit
closes another chapter in Mexico's bloody career, but the
immediate future holds little promise of improved condi
tions. Next we may expect to hear of broils between the
victorious rebel leaders, and the usual revolt against the
government, no matter who is chosen to head the repub
lic. The people 'of Mexico are not capable of selfrgovern
ment, and if it is the duty of the United States to take any
interest at all in the situation below the Rio Grande, it
shoud be in pursuance of a strong definite policy, which
should mean the pacification of the country, through arm
ed intervention and even annexation if that step is con
sidered advisable when other means have failed.
If the statement.that Attorney General McReynolds de
clares that "there is no law under which the wreckers of
the New Haven can be prosecuted" is true, the president
. may profitably hesitate before selecting him for the su
preme bench in place of Justice Lurton who died a few
days ago. An attorney4 general that can find no law to
punish the criminals when stockholders' are robbed, a
great property wrecked and hundreds of millions stolen
by Wall street robbers will not prove highly acceptable to
the country as one of the final interpreters of its laws.
The city of Marshfield has filed an objection with the
railroad commission granting the water company at that
place more time in which to improve its reservoir and
mains. A decision of the matter may confidently be ex
pected by the citizens of Marshfield by the time the Pan
ama exposition closes its doors. The water company can
take its own time now that the matter is with the railroad
commission, and can have its repairs completed long be
fore the matter will be passed on.
The popular will in Mexico does not seem to be excess
ively so, as at Madera's election it was expressed by less
than 20,000 votes, and at the election held a few Sundays
ago in which Huerta received "the popular approval"
there were not half that many votes cast. One good live
Tammany ward under proper surroundings would cut
vote all Mexico. Maybe the reason it takes so few ballots
to express the freeman's will is because in Mexico the
freeman's won't is in such an overwhelming majority.
Colonel Roosevelt's throat trouble is of so considerate
a kind that it permits him to speak when speech is neces
sary, and demands utter quiet about the time silence is
golden.

A number of clergymen recently discussed the matter
of censoring moving pictures and recommended the ap
pointment of five censors sitting in New York who shall
say what pictures shall be seen by the 100,000,000 other
people in the United States. New York has plenty of. op
portunity for graft now, and from all accounts she does
not neglect any of them, but with five men in charge of
the movies, how the Tammany bosses would turn over in
their graves and mourn at being born too soon.
Is there a joker in U'Ren's little bill concerning the elec
tion of legislators, under which voters can vote for but one
legislator and only sixty are to be voted for? It will be
noted that the number, sixty, is just the number of mem
bers in the lower house. Does the foxy gentleman from
Oregon City, who, although not a humorist, is certainly
the father of many jokers, intend in this way to a'oolisn
the state senate? It surely looks that way.

Tired . .
Alas, I am weary of swatting, the
effort seems useless ami stale; for
weeks I've been painfully trotting
around after flies, on their trail; I've
doped them with
acij .carbolic, I've
slugged them and
caught them with
trap; and still on
my forehead they
frolie, when I lay'
me down tor a nap.
I hate tho pettifer
ous friskers. which
tickle my scalp with
their toes; they're
building their nests
in my whiskers,
t h e y 're picnicking
now on my nose.
They give me all
kinds of diseases, by carrying germs to
ami fro; 1 pause here for seventeen
sneezes I 've got the pneumonia, 1
know. I'm strong for those able phy
sicians, who tell us, "Keep swatting,
you guys, if you would improve the
conditions, and drivo from our country
tho flies!" And yet 1 am weary of
Bwatting, I've thrown all my weapons
away; I'm weary of tirelessly potting
tho germ bearers, clay after nay. lie
cause, in the midst of my labors, I
glanced from my ancestral hall, und
saw that my indolent neighbors were
doing no swatting at all. I'nless we
all labor, united, 4o chase every fly
out of view, the graft of a sepulchre
whited, a sheer waste of muscle and
thew.
