DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGE. :"

One of the peculiarities among the
-obscryanees known as international law
is diplomatic privileges.
a diplomatic representative, his fam
ily, secretaries and attaches are not
subject TO the laws of the country TO
which they are assigned.
A few months ago, a stranger driv.
sing an automobile through II Massachu-
setts village at a greater speed than the
RtuE allows, and endangcrinp the lives
,oT people was arrested and fined. He
ssinimed immunity on the ground that
ne was an atiachc to the British legation
at Washington, and was privileged to
run over everybody in the village If he
choose TO do ID,
The country Justice Of the peace was
short on international law, but long on
common sense, and refused to remit the
hno, until the state department at
Washington got busy, and elevated the
AFFAIR to the dignity of AN international
incidont, and compelled the justice to
restore To the attache his money.
The other day diplomat refused TO
clear u sidewalk in Washington of ice
Though tho government Of the United
States has direct jurisdiction over the
district, Il had no power TO compel the
diplomat TO do what every citizen umst
do without question.
Diplomatic privileges has just re-
eeived another illustration In the per-
son Of foreign young gentleman, az
present Cornell student who claims
exemption from financial obligations ON
the ground THAT ho is attached 10 one
Of the legations here. This obligation,

interesting. and was received with en-
thusiasm.
President P. l.. Campbell, of the
state University, at Eugene, gave an
address on "Higher Education as
Factor in the Development of Oregon. -
He said it takes education to develop
the resources of the state. The main
thing in training student was obser-
walton. They must be trained to
make a mark in this world, and be able
to note and carry on the industries OF
the country His address was full OF
eloauence and showed his sincerity in
the great work which the Development
League is doing.
Hon. G. 3. Moores was then intro
duced. and he delivered fine address
on Beautifying Our Own Homes in
the City" His remarks were very ap-
ropos, and were much enjoyed. He said
his subject covered a wide field, and
that Improvement of this kind should
be universal He told of the great good
fine looking city was to the state,
that it was living advertisement. He
cited several instances where towns had
been improved and beautifed, and told
of their progress and wealth. Salem
has the making of a grand and beauti'
full city. and each man should DO his
share toward making it renowned. He
was caustic at the expense Of the non
progressive citizen. who blocked inn
and said there should be
some way to reach them.
Judge Scott gave a short talk on
good roads. He said the two most es-
scntial things we must have before we
could have good roads was agitation
and system and money.
Good roads in our county would adj
vertise it to the world and bring more
people here. Judge Scott has done
much for the good roads Of our county
here, and has put much time and
thought on the subject, and his address
was along that line and was very inter
esting.

Whereas, The local leagues Of the
various towns of the state have accept.
ed the public invitation in good faith,
and have proceeded to make arrange.

Whereas, In the midst Of these prep.
arations the meeting has been called
of, without consulting the various
clubs and organizations, without any
reason therefor being given further
than the statement that satisfactory
rates could not be arranged with the
transportation companies, and
Whereas, This is not sufficient
reason for abandoning the meeting. but.

Letter Was Dropned.

With the passing of the years the
time is rapidly nearing when the old
time settler and pioneer, he Of that
stern and rugged type Of men who so
firmly founded and established this our
great Western commonwealth, will be
no more. The records of their deeds,
their heroic bravery in surmounting ev.

cceding generations, but should be pre-
served, so that they may serve to show
the future men and women of our land
what manner Of men their forefathcrs
were.

of this alteration, that seems to newt.

that the way the change in the spell.
ing happened was that the clerk of the

rightfully belonged there. In any ease
the mistake has been made. until it
