HE -HAW."

Astoria has a mule, the patient old
democratic mule. For years his rasp-
ing "he-haw' of protest against the
government policies, unless dictated by

been the symbol Of opposition since
the citizens party was brought into ex-
istence, sort Of Jennie to the Jack.
He has received rebuffs sufficient to put
any other animal on the footstool out
Of business. The deadheads wonder
why he does not cease. He will never
do it. The pensive animal was born to
kick, and when ne is not allowed to
kick mis- usefulness is at an end. Look
at the bitter experiences through which
he is just passing.
Headed toward men and measures
which have always been hateful in his
sight; check-reined with wire until

Upon the dizzy paths to the noun

the representatives from Union county
to secure an appropriation of $4,000

When Clatsop county has been repre-

 Superintendent E. R.

He will soon have the new machinery installed now. then the work of sinking will be resumed.

c. E. Victory and Harvey Kearnes are striking high grade copper ore in their claims located a short distance west of the South Butte.

Their claims are not more than a mile from the teaching plant. The latter will begin operations within a few days.

 the person attacked has reasonable grounds for fearing that killing or a felony is being attempted by the at lacking party, the defence may go to the extent of taking life. It is well de- cided that where one is merely struck with the fist and has no reasonable grounds for believing that he is in danger of being killed or felony be- ing committed, his use of a gun, or a knife, or deadly weapon is unjustih- able.
 The fact that the person defending himself was mistaken as to the in- tentions of his assailant does not af- feet his right to take life if there ap- peared to him at the time reasonable grounds that unless he did so he would be killed or a felony would be perpetrated against him. it has been held that the mere fact that the as- sailant put his hand in his pocket was not sufficient to justify the taking of the assailant's life on the ground that the assailant was believed to be reaching for a weapon.
 Suppose that the person called upon to defend himself had himself been the provoker of the quarrel or the immedi. ate cause of the attack, would his subsequent use of violent means in self-defense be justified under the rules laid down? The question has arisen in many cases and has usually been decided in the negative. The person himself must be free from fault in order to justify himself for killing another.
 The cases go to the extent of saying that anyone who brings on or pro- vokes a personal encounter cannot re- ly upon the plea of self-defence. We can quickly see that if the law were permitted to be otherwise one desir- ing to kill another would only have

Self-Defence.

 | It is a matter of importance that

One would scarce ly be expected when attacked, either in person or in property to T will waI: for the law to punish the aggressor,' ' for the one attacked has no means of knowing how far the attacking party may go in the use of violence, as he may even go to the extent of taking life.
 Then, toes the law recognizes a weakness in human nature-or shall we call it strength rather, that impels one when attacked to defend himself by the use of force. Self-preserva- tion is truly the first law of nature.
 The law of self-defence is an old one, recognized from the beginning. It ex- tends not only to ones own person but to ones family and possessions.

 Of course there must be limita- tion put upon the right of self-de- fence or 1t will be abused, and men, under cover of the excuse that they were put to an act of violence by ne cessity, will cover up acts which are unjustiflable and hence punishable. The law. broadly speaking. limits the right to cases where necessity exists, and it will only excuse a man when he uses that violence which under the circumstances would appeal to a req sonable man as necessary for his self protection. Nor will court compel him to exercise the best judgment at the time. for it recognizes that when the occasion for self-defence presents itself, the mind of the one attacked is more or less disturbed and the even balance of his judgment shaken; but
