The Public Official and the Pass.

Governor johnson brings the pass
question before the legislature In
strong recommendation that an anti
pass law similar to the Wisconsin act
be adopted by the legislature.
The governor does we'll to bring TINS
reform forcibly before. the law.maklng
body and the legislature would 90 well
to act upon his recommendation. The
time has gone by when public official
can safely assume a low or even an
average grade of personal conduct.
The people have set their faces against
exalting men to public station, who,
however great their talents, are tainted
by offensive vices or whose family con-
nections are not above reproach.
The people are prepared to 90 step
farther and demand of their public
servants an example Of the incest ana
most scrupulous honor. At this point
the pass question becomes acute, Tor
how can public official, believing in
the highest standard Of honor, accept
a gratuity from railroad which he
knows must be paid for by some one
less fortunately situated than he? AS
the governor we'll says, Corporations
do business on an earning basis and
every free pass or favor granted by a
corporation is of necessity paid for by
a. class of citizens who, do not como
within the favor of the corporations. y
Railroads in particular figure thell
earnings down to the fine point OF cal
culating the earnings Of. each car pei
mile. It is evident that in these cal
culations free transportation must ap
pear as a loss, or it must be made u1
from some one else. In the one case
the public official is putting himself
(, under an obligation to the railroad
which has sacrificed it's profit to obligt
him; in the: other he has ridden free
at the expense Of the private citizen
In neither case, can the public offcla
= feel that he has maintained the high
est standard Of personal honor.
1t is not enough to say that the pub
lie official is. only. doing what other
do. We do not elect him to do wha
others do, but to do what the bes
standards Of conduct teach him h
ought to do both in the conduct of hi
office and in his personal conduct.
Practically the state takes the posi-
ton that the legislators should not &C
cept passes when it makes such liberia
provision for the mileage of its mem
bers. Fifteen cents mile both way
is certainly sufficient to cover al
necessary trips home during the session
As far as executive officers are con
cerned, the state is prepared to pa
and does pay their necessary travelin
expenses in the service Of the state
There can be no excuse for their &C
cepting passes and the money of tn
state, too. r. .E ...

Women More Truthful Than Men.

"A Frenchwoman who has been try
ing some interesting experiments with
the credibllity of witnesses, makes out
that women are more reliable in this
relation than men. They sec more de-
tails than men and remember them bet
ter. Her method was to show to the
subject a picture of a scene of daily life
for short time, and after an interval
to require him to write a description Of
it.. Twenty-four persons, twelve of each
sex, were used, and the general conclu-
sions reached were that entirely faithful
evidence is the exception, that 10 per
cent Of the statements in voluntary
deposition are wrong; that about s per
cent Of the statements Of deposition
under oath are incorrect; that women
are more truthful and more accurate
than men. ENI
1T must be taken into consideration,
that Mile. Borst s, the French expert
menter g, tests included no questions of
motive or interest. They were purely
memory and observation tests. In actual
evidence given in court women would
perhaps have a still higher percentage
Of accuracy than men, as they have
a higher respect for veracity, greater
fear of the law and less audacity than
men. Judges are generally agreed that
I a large part of the evidence given in
criminal trials is conscious perjury,
while in cases involving large sums of
money, unconscious perjury prevails.
The very best men can and do work
themselves up to state where they
believe that anything which will save
their side Of the case is true, merely be-
cause they believe they have the right
side and ought to win. The courts have
generally adopted the theory that the
credibility of witnesses is to be weighed
largely by their interest in the evidence
they give. ''r 4 a'a~E

Inns prophecy was more OF curse than
blessing to the family. In Miss Dee's faith
err 1t resulted in an almost grotesque
character, one, by the, way, rarely well
drawn by Mr.. Field. But when the father
died and Miss Dee already across the Dor
der Of old-matdhood was the only one of
the line left 1t began to look as tho the
gypsy Of ancient days had simply tried to
give her moneys worth regardless of
truth. Miss Dee had, however, had love
affair, and her lover had gone away to a
great city and not. returned. She had
also adopted a boy baby, These two
things laid the ground for the fulf1llment
of the prophecy -. <%rE
Miss Dee devoted her slife to the boy,
and when he was ready to enter the
struggle of life, she went with him to the
city to start him upon his career as a
lawyer, for which he had prepared ct
school. The adopted son was thoughtless,
as young men are, and the old maids joy
GUS pride In him and her willing self sac
rihce for him, on that account, stand out
all the more clearly and pathetically.
And then that girlhood lover of Agatha g
that was Miss Dees name-of course he
appears; and afterEa little while Agatha
does something which leads one Of the
characters to exclaim to her:
Miss Dee, am honored by your presence and
your confidence. - Madam, will you per-
nit to kiss your hand? This is true heroism
and the prophecy is fulfilled. .-:.
Thru the whole story, or rather over
the whole picture, to revert to our former
Characterization of the authors work,
there is an air-of-the past quality and a
quaintness and dantiness, that give to
the figure of Miss Dee it's proper. atmos-

AMERICAS GOLD
YIELD S84,551,30O
Precious Metal Output Of Past
Year a Record Breaker
Everywhere.

Washington, Jan. 5-The preliminary
figures upon the production of gold and
silver in the United States in 1904,
submitted to the director of the mint,
show larger gains over the preceding
year than were expected. Nearly every
state of important yield has increased
its output.
The Colorado yield is about twenty
six million dollars as compared with
about thirty-three million five hundred
thousand dollars in 1908 as compared
with about twenty-five million five hun
bred thousand in 1903 California has
made the best output for many years,
due to a great supply of water and the
work of the dredges. Nevada and
Utah have made notable gains. South
Dakota and Alaska have beaten their
previous best records. The Appa-
iachian region shows improvement.
The Klondike shows loss of about
two million dollars.

So, whatever the part Of the body that is ex-

in strength, quickness, skill, delicacy, special
coordinations or what not, there is an overflow
Of gain from that part to the other parts.
Now this overflow does not mean that
one learns Greek from studying algebra, or either
by playing football; but it does mean that our
activities do not thrive for themselves alone, that
there is a community Of interest among them,
that they minister to one another, and that the
overflow proceeds as naturally, as easily, from
the physical side Of activity to the mental as
from the mental to the physical. How 1t gets
across the abyss between them is the insoluble
problem Of the world, but it gets across and
most merciful overflow it is as well as gracious.

RAILROADS WIN OUT
KilIingswOrth's Bill is Laid on Table
After a Lively Debate.

Killingsworth's bill requiring trunk
lines to handle the freight cars of lat
erals was tabled, after warm debate
in the House Friday forenoon. The
discussion was started when Bingham
of Lane moved to refer the bill back
to the committee on railroads and
transportation, for the reason, he said,
that it had not been properly exam-
ined, and besides W. ID. Fentop,
attorney for the Southern Pacific,
wanted to be heard.
Killingsworth opposed it. He said
the matter had been fully and fairly
/ discussed, and there was no use to go
into it further. He declared the time
had come for members of the Legis-
lature to go on record either for the
railroads or for the people. 1t was
time, he said, for the members to show
that they were not under the dictation
of the railroads.
Smith of Josephine added fuel to
the flame by remarking that if the bill
was referred back to the committee it
would go to an untimely grave. He
declared that the railroads must be
regulated that they had quadrupled
rates within the past five or six years
in some instances. "And," continued
the speaker, "the people will soon
learn, if they do not already know
that this Legislature is the most rail
road dominated Legislature in the
history of Oregon"
The question arose as to whether
there had been meeting Of the COM
mittee. Bingham said he had been
informed that there had been no meet
ing and had been told by Mr.. Fenton
that he had not appeared before the
committee, and that he desired to do so.
Blakeley of Umatilla declared that
there was a meeting and that Fenton
was before the committee for an hour
Mcleod opposed re-referring the
bill, for the reason that to return it to
the committee meant certain death.
He was opposed to imposing on the
railroads, but he believed in curbing
them in the interest of the public
Killingsworth then took the floor
and delivered a set speech. He started
out by regretting that he stood alone
on the bill among the Multnomah
delegation, gave history of the
Southern Pacific Company and pointed
out wherein, he alleged, it had failed
to meet the demands of the public. He
said the time had come for an end Of
the grasp of monopoly.
Mears thought more time should be
given for examination and moved that
it be laid on the table.
you'll never get it of, " said Smith
Of Josephine, as the motion prevailed.

We heard a man say the other
morning that the abbreviation for
February-Feb.-m freeze every
body, and that man looked frozen in

needed the kind of warmth that stays,
the warmth that reaches from head to
foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal know
ledge that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives
permanent warmth, it invigorates the
blood and speeds it along through
artery and vein, and really fits men
and women, boys and girls, to enjoy
cold weather and resist the attacks of
disease. 1t gives the right kind of
warmth, stimulates and stregthens at
the same time, and all its benefits are
lasting. There may be a suggestion
in this for you.
