NO GOOD LAW A FAILURE.

A lot Of people are predicting that
the bill just passed in congress 10
prohibit corporations from contributing
to campaign funds will be a total fall
ure in practice.
Well, anyway, isn't it better that the
statutes should denOunce wrong than
be silent on the subject?
A good law, even if it serves no other
purpose molds public conscience and
crystallizes public opinion.
Like a ships compass, even if it be
carelessly disregarded, it still points
true
In some storm, some crisis, soon or
late, it will be turned to as the guide
to safety.
1t took public opinion a good many
years to properly shape itself after the
principles of the Sherman antitrust
law
But right principles set up in stat
utes are guideposts. They turn hum
dreds, then thousands, then millions OF
minds to right thinking.
For 20 years the interstate comerce
commission was commonly considered
powerless and next to. worthless.
But at last we have learned to APP
preciate it's purpose and to, vest it with
necessary powers.
Great reforms do not begin and end
in "be-it-enacted."
All real reform is in popular feeling,
popular thinking and popular acting.
When the people at last get the right
view of a great wrong and the right
feeling toward it and are moved to
the right action, the wrong must end,
and not before.
The new law against corporation
control of elections may long be evad-

Hand Of Chise| ThroWer
ST. CLAIR TO FACE GRAVE cHARst
FOR HIS LiFE-sAYs HE
SAVED HIMSELF.

Gust Kotsovos who was struck in
the back of the head with a chisel in
the hands of Ed. ST. Clair, died at St
Mary's hospital yesterday evening. ST.
Clair is occupying a cell in the county
Jail and will be charged with murder
in the first degree.
KotsovOs made a hard fight for his
life. The wound with the loss of
blood which he suffered before medical
aid could reach him was more than he
could Ue.cOme.
KOtsovOs, together with his brother
Walhlla. Trouble AROSE Wednesday
afternoon, between Kotsovos and St.
Clair. st. Clair struck Kotsovos a
blow on the back of the head with
heavy chisel. Medical aid was not Sc
cured for some time. Kotsovos was
brought to this city early Thursday
morning.
St. Clair Was Aggressor.
At the time of the trouble 200 Greek
iaborers were stationed in Walula.
The Greeks were up in arms because
one of their countrymen was injured
and threatened bodily harm to his
assailant. st. Clair was taken into the
country and afterwards brought to this
city where he was lodged in Jail.
AS the story is told by the injured
mans brother, ST. Clair was the ag-
gressor. st. Clair asserts that Kot-
sovos was about to strike him blow
with heavy iron poker when he
struck the Greek to defend himself.
The remains are at the Picard &
Hennessy undertaking parlors. No de-
finite funeral arrangements have been
made A number of Wallula people
wish to attend the funeral, but the un-
certainty of the trains makes it i'm
possible for them to reach the city
before Tuesday.

"YON .YoNsON."

Perhaps the most thrilling event
which ever takes place in any Of the
great industries of this country, is the
breaking Of a log jam in lumber
camp. There is only one play which
has ever reproduced this scene, anu
that is the perennially popular "Yon
Yonson.' the great Swedish comedy
drama which will be seen here at the
KeylOr Grand, Feb. 10th.
One of the most thrilling scenes in
the play is the rescue from the jam.
in which Yon saves Grace Jennings
from death. This scene cannot be bet
ter described than by quoting Stewart
Edward Whites description of a
breaking jam from The Blazed Trail
Forty men attacked the jam at a
ment, twisting aside the timbers that
threatened to lock anew, directing pig
mylike the titanic forces into the
channel of their efficiency. Roaring
like wild cattle the logs swept by. at
first slowly, then with the railroad
rush of the curbed freshet Men were
everywhere. taking chances. like cow
boys before the stampeded herd. And
so, out of sight around the lower bend
swept the front of the jam in swirl

boom back of the creature they had
subdued until at last, with the slack
ening current, the logs floated free.
