TERRORS AT HIGH PRICES.

Prices on everything are soaring
skyward at a rapid rate. Living ex-
penses have advanced at least 20 per
cent within the last two years.-News
Item.
1t is a sad thing to see small chill
dren gnawing the bark off the poplar,
cork elm and other trees in the back
ward: a feeling of tender, Irresistible
sympathy surges up in the breast OF
the writer TO see people eating the
birds off the hats of the ladies of the
household. The features of this ar
ticle have been lying dormant in nv
vocal chords for months and must
come out or a coroner Will soon be
sitting on my handsome but busted
remains. says the Jacksonville, Ore,
Post. But, seriously, how long are
these thieving prices going to last?
What is going to be the outcome!
Formerly. it used to be the doctor, the
,awyer, the minister, the journalist
who stood fairly nigh in the social
scale, who were looked up to as little
tin gods in the communities where
they held forth; but now it is the
butcher, the baker, the grocer and the
dry goods man who lead the cotil-
lions, are at the front in the grand
marches and use the blue pencil unre-
sisted.
But it is on the newly married cou-
pies that these prohibitive market
prices mistermed good times,'' fall
the more heavily. A young couple
just about to dare fate by renouncing
single blessedness have an idea that
hey won't have to eat after they get
married. They think they can live on
small bunch of violets set in the
middle of the table and a couple of
kisses to wash them down; they fatu-
ously believe, poor deluded things,
that small piece of blue ribbon
around a white throat, box of car
amels, a hammock and a full. golden
moon above them is the sine qua non
of an average married life-in fine,
d
ing" days But We old married people
know different. How long will their
honeymoon last when they are obliged
to wait for the shades of night to
crecy around, so that they can climb
their neighbor's fence and make a
successful getaway of an armful OF
wood? What damper to their con-
man" more correctly speaking, the
young husband is obliged to shin up
trees to hunt for birds eggs in lieu of
the noble hens eggs. And, partcu-
larly, when the joyous young couple
is reduced to such straits that they
have to hang a yellow card with the
appalling sign "Diphtheria In Here !;
Keep Out" on their front gate to scare
away the ubiquitous bill collector.
Young man, young woman, if you
must get married, if your hearts year,
for double blessedness and will not
be denied, don't marry a bum doctor.
an out-at-the heels lawyer a seedy,
editor, or shiny coated minister;
don't make the fatal mistake these
days of sky-high prices. But get next
to fat bucher, red-faced grocer. >
bilious looking merchant, or even a
villainous plumber, and your days will
be long in the land, your nights full
Of pleasant dreams, your hearts full of
gladstone songs. and. which is more
vital than all the rest put together,
your hungry little tum- tums will be
land.

CAMP WoODRUFF.

The military authorities of the State
have reason to ask themselves wheth-
er this years encampment of the Ma
ttonal Guard was worth the money it
cost the taxpayers? There is good rea-
son to believe that the officers and
men actually got less out of their SOL
diering than fraction of the money
expended would represent.
Lieutenant Adams of the United
Estates army found many things to
criticise In the work of the soldiers and
an almost entire absence of open re-
spect for authority In company streets
He asserts that the men do not pay
attention to the instructions of their
officers while the officers allow infrac-
tions of the rules to go uncorrected.
The men found neither profit nor
pleasure in the fanciful hike out Of the

tired unnecessarily and ready for the
enjoyments of private retreat.
The situation as it developed itself
this year from the point of view of
both officers and men provokes the In
quiry whether treating the volunteers
in time of peace as enlisted men in
time Of war is a good thing for the
case of "Too Much Johnson"

An OPINION BY A JUDGE.

Ex-Governor Douglass of Massachu-
sets knows something about business,
and he knows how to increase his bus
mess by advertising. He has deeply
studied the science and the art of adj
vertising, and he has come to this con-
clusion: A newspaper advertisement
strikes the eye the moment the news
paper is opened The same advertise
ment would lie hidden among the pages
Of a magazine until the reader found
his way to tiff he ever did Practical
ly every man reads a newspaper. Ev-
ery man does not read a magazine. An
other excellent reason for the superior
ity of newspaper over magazine adver-
tiscment rests in the fact that in To-
cal newspapers the reader sees the adj
vertisement every day of his life, while,
at best, he sees it but once a month in
the magazine.
This is sound reasoning. The value OF
the newspaper is more and more recog.
nized by those who have spent much
money in advertising and have made
many not wholly satisfactory expert
ments with advertising schemes, The
daily newspaper is the cheapest and
best advertising medium.

One swallow doesn't make Sun
but one swallow may indicate that
Summer Is not far away So one man
whose only business is giving away
money doesn't make this an unselfish
world, but 1t does indicate what the
world may become. D, X. Pearsons,
Of Hinsdale, Illinois, who has given
millions of dollars to small colleges,
has just made the formal statement
that his only business is to give away
money.
The business Of giving away money
is hourishing In this country, as 1t has
never lourished anywhere. There are
many people who are engaged in it,
even If not, like Mr., Pearsons, to the
exclusion of all other business. 1t is
good business to be engaged in. 1t
pays large dividends and pays them
when they are most needed and want
ed. BY and by when the business OF
giving away money becomes as big as
the business OF making 1t the world
will be better able to keep its bal

1t Is sheer nonsense to attribute to Mr..
Darrow's imprisoned address to the
jury the weakening of the prejudices
of the jury, Had the State made out
q better case, or had Harry Orchard

of Haywood rested upon that wild
harangue shows how little the dlsor-
ganizers of society require to make
a noise The simple truth is that the
jury in Boise City found Haywood in
nocent because the testimony did not
warrant them finding him guilty
Neither the infammatory speech Of
Darrow nor the keen argument of Sem
ator Borah was able to stand a second
in the presence of the unirnpassIoned
and judicial charge of the Judge. That
together with the sense Of justice
which moved the jury determined the
outcome If socialists and anarchists
think that that is grist to their mill
they are to be pitied, not condemned.
