More Fish Law.

Some misunderstanding as to the
closed seasons under the fish law seems
to have arisen. III response to an IN
gniry, z. 7. Sweeney, fish commissioner
writes that section of the law makes
an absolute closed season during May
and June in all streams of the state
and closed season in all other waters
of the state from the first of January
to the first of April and from the first
of May to the first of July, except with
hook and line. The law permits, says
Mr.. sweeney, hook and line fishing in
streams from July first to the following
May first, and it permits 1t in lakes at
all times. Mr.. Sweeney says that in
Thu view of the law he is supported by
the attorney general.

Representative jenkins, of Wis
consin, has introduced proposed
amendment to the constitution Civ
ing congress the right to make all
laws governing trusts. This propo-
sition is receiving the support of a
number of republican leaders who
feel that something must be done to
silence the popular cry against the
trusts. 1t is to be hoped that the
people will not be fooled by the
move. In order for the proposed
amendment to become part of the
constitution it must be ratified by
three-fourths Of the legislatures of
the several states. No one believes
this would be done. The great cor.
porations could easily prevent the
ratification by methods that seldom
fail, one of which is the liberal use
of money. The states, themselves,
would be loath to surrender TO con-
gress their right to legislate against
the trusts. Congress can afford in
slant relief by abolishing the tariff
on tinplate, tobacco, lead and a num-
Der of other commodities, now con-
trolled by greedy syndicates. But
such proceeding would be contrary
to the high protective doctrine which
must be maintained even If the peo-
pie do groan under the BURDEN
Columbia City Post.

In 1900 the genius of Jefferson
organized the democratic party and
led a successful fight against the
aristocratic ideas of Hamilton. To-
day, when democracy is engaged in
a life and death struggle with plutoc-
racy, we can find inspiration in the
teachings of the Sage of Monticello.
The doctrine of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,
applied to present problems, would
restore an equitable financial system,
deprive national banks of the power
to issue paper money, destroy pri-
vate monopolies, remove the menace
of militarism and imperialism, save
the nation fl ON entangling alliances,
make it an example to other nations,
and its flag an emblem of peace,
justice, liberty and progress.-W VIM.

We have received from Mr.. z. s.

the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
road book just off the press, which is
unusually interesting and artistic. 1t is
on the subject of Colorado, fascinately
written by James w. Steele, a descrip-
tive writer of great force. The book is
lsvisbly illustrated by engravings of a
high order, and the printers art has not
been handicapped by an effort to save
expense. 10 anyone interested in the
grandeur of Colorado scenery and par
ticulsrly to one contemplating visit to
the country described the book will be
indispensable. Copies can be had by
sending letter of request accompanied
by six cents in postage stamps to Mr.
Eustis, at his Chicago address, 209

Trains and the Louisiana Purchase.

An interesting fact in connection with
the new overland train, which the Bur
lington is about to put into service be-
tween st Louis and Puget Sound, by
way of BllliDge, Mont, is that for near
ly the entire distance of $500 miles it
will run through country acquired by
the United States at the time of the
Louisiana purchase in 1904. When Ma
poleon Bonaparte, on behalf of France,
sold the territory to us for about 21a
cents an acre, he little dreamed, in his
endeavor to annoy England, what q
magnificent empire he was practically
giving away.
