A GOOD TURN.

Earl Grey, restoration of the Frank.
lin portrait to the United States is an
incident at once significant of the cor,
dial rcleations between America and the
Mother country, and instinct with pc
culiar personal grace. That picture of
Franklin. was taken from Philadelphia
in the Revolution was naturally przcd
as one of the "spoil~ of war;" and par
tieularly because il was the portrait
OF that American who after only Wash.
neton himself was regarded by the Brit
ish of Lord North's time rs the heart
and brain of the rebellion" It has al
so been priced by the successive genera
tions of the family OF Grey, since it
was secured by the distinguished general
who was the first baron ana earl OF tha'
line, and it might have been cherished
as an heirloom for many generations
to come. 1t will be received with the
greater pleasure because it comes as
the voluntary gift of the accomplished
statesman who represents tn" BI1s
ish Crown in the neighboring dominion
and is great grandson of the soldier
who took it from us, and the grandson
of that statesman and Prime Minister
whose reform bill marked one of the
most famous and benefcent epochs in
modern English history.

UP TO THE CLUBS.

It has become the duty of the civic
improvement clubs of this city, all four
of them, to name the membership of
the 1906 egatta Committee. There
need be no hesitancy on the part of the
clubs; they have an abundance of splen-
did material for just such purposes, and
by being very careful in their selections,
and then exerting their numerical
strength in Urging the acceptance of
the nominations they shall make, they
will accomplish a decided victory for
the city, by ensuring the actuality of
the celebration, under approved aus
pices. And if they do nothing else this
summer they will have achieved enough

RULE APPLIES TO ALL.

There has been commendable recog
nition of the rule for the cleaning ur
of home premises throughout the city
and the aspect of the city has been
frightened considerably thereby; but
there are several people that are appar-
emily quet Indifferent TO the program and
as number of them are conspicuous
as to the location and scope of premi-
ses, it may not be necessary more than to
merely suggest that they take hold and
do something toward meeting the popu-
lar wishes in the matter. OF course if
it becomes really essential to name and
describe the premises, that can be done,
too. But is it?

THE PEOPLES MONEY.

1t is evident that the people OF Clat
sop county need bit of showing ii
the matter of the expenditure of tht
County Court, on Thursday last, of the
sum of sl9,5OO.
All the county has to show for this
transaction is memorandum foI
the delivery of given quanti-
ty of terra Gotta alleged to have
been manufactured for the uncontract-
ed court house of this county, and sup
posed to be lying in the sheds of a
company down in Lincoln, California
There is no contract in force, no bond
no guaranty, no forfeiture of any kind;
the goods have never been seen nor in
spected by single member of the
county court; it is not known whether
it is mud or finished material, or
whether it exists at all. as a matter of
downright fact. The only thing that
the court feels any certainty about is,
that if the whole thing is brought to a
legitimate conclusion, the county will
make about $4,000 on a rebated price
for the terra Gotta.
This is a slim predicate for the nego-
tiation of deal of this Importance,
and there will have to be something
very tangible offered by the court to
account for the unbusinesslike proce-
dure so far followed.
If this terra Gotta is in existence, if
it has been contracted for, if it has
been manufactured under any specific
order from this county, why was it not
brought here and stored? las the brick
and stone and steel, lately purchased by
the court, have been stored, why was
it not counted, weighed, inspected and
put in the custody of the county ofIic-
ials? why was not bond demanded of
the selling company, why was the coun-
ty not protected in some way against
the absolute loss of this money and ma
terial from fire, wreckage breakage,
bankruptcy, or any other quality of
failure to which manufacturing firms
are liable?
A very plain and definite statement
is due the people in the premises and it
is not conceivable that the court will
delay making it, overlong.

STANDARD WINS
A Bic VICTORY

Findlay, O.. Dec, 25,-Thc Standard
Oil company won victory in COM

w S. Duncan decided that the pro.
bate court had no jurisdiction in the
suit brought against it.
The court threw out the recent
verdict of guilty against the com
pany
Prosecutor David some time ago
filed an Information in the probate
court against the Standard, charging
it with violating the antitrust laws
of the state He maintained that he
could get action quicker against the
company by this proceeding than
through indictments in the common
pleas coart He thought to establish
"a precedent, facilitating all such
cases,
The Standard attorneys coatendcd
that the probate court had no iurls-
diction in the matter; that If there
had been a violation of the law the
prosecutor should have proceeded
against the company through the in.
dictments, This point was upheld
by Judge Duncan and the case is
thus thrown out Of the probate court
This decision in no way affects the
indictments recently returned in
common pleas court by the grand jury
against John d. Rockefeller and other
officials Of the Standard OIL company,
charging them with violating the
antitrust laws.
None of the Standard officials was
in the court when the decision was
rendered. The company was repre-
scented by its attorneys. It is under.
stood that the prosecution will APP
peal the case
