Too Much Law.

II is recorded that TacituS, the
/ learned historian, observed that
when laws multiply it is sign of
governmental lccadtncc. 1t was said
in the latter days of the Roman Re
public the laws had multiplied to the
extent it would require over Sev-

through which body it is proposed
to cXpunge seventy per cent. of the

about two weeks ago. in an address
delivered before that organization.
among other things. remarked, this
country is Smfeitcd with too much
inconsideratc legislation; that Gov
crnor Hughes of New York ut the
last session of the Legislature of
that State used the veto power I'M
sparingly in connection with the
weight of his influence and advice to-
wards preventing too great vol
umc Of legal cnactments; that in
spite of his efforts there was 4 great
mass of useless and harmful legisla-
ton. Approaching conditions here,
in Washington. what do we find?
Ballinger's Code. consisting of two
pOnderOus volumes, was issued in
1897. Since supplemental volume
has been issued supposed to include
the subsequent laws up to and in
Guiding the 1903 session of our Lcgis-
lature. Afterwards come the session
laws of 1908 and 1907. the latter
being a bulky volume. which numer-
Gus attorneys claim is poorly in
dexed, and that it will remain a
sealed book to many of the profess
sion. This condition pre-supposes
that there is no telling what former
laws have been amended or repealed,
which will keep the lawyers and
courts guessing, and then will I'M
dOubtedly be confronted with de-
ciSiOnS made in ignorance of statu-
tory provisions. 1t goes without
saying that our laws should be plain
and few as possible for the proper
government of the people of this
young commonwealth, to the end
that they may be properly advised
as to their rights instead of run
ming up against snags" to their in
jury and prejudice. The time is
ripe for the application of the prun-
ming knife. Lawyers do not like
physical labor any better than other
people, and probably do not enjoy
using wheel-barrow or wagon in
carting about the statute laws of
their own State to and from the
court sessions.

GERMANY SUFFERING FROM HIGH
PRESSURE METHODs.-It seems that
Germany is undergoing some Of the
experience of our own count try in
adopting the high-pressure gauge.
She is now threatened with q great
financial crash from the natural re-
action of too rapid expansion in Ger
man commerce and her reckless finan-
cial policy. There has been over
production in several home industries
and the government has been SO san
guine in it's financial policies as to
have doubled the national debt in
the past decade. The municipalities
have followed the example of the i'm
perial government and have borrowed
at a high rate of interest to pro-
mote their various public ownership
schemes. 1t is possible to readily
comprehend the tendency of this ex-
pansion policy in our neighbors. Will
it not serve to check such tendencies
at home?

FEAsTING UPON CHINESE DELIcA-
CIEs.-Some high toned visitors were
feted at Helena, Mont, lately, by
the wealthy and well-known China
man, Leo Quok, at his new restaur-
ant, the Silver Cafe. Eighteen
courses were served, each and every
one of which was not only of Chinese
preparation, but of ingredients strict
ly oriental in character and imported
for the occasion. Every dish and
platter was of imported Chinaware,
expensive and rare, reserved for
special occasions. Chinese ducks,
pigeon squads, and the famous Chin
csc bird's-nest soup, were some of
the delicacies put on the table. The
cost of the muscilage-like bird 's-nest
costs SIS per pound in China, and it
is not said to be the most costly dish.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
the relish to American threats was
anything like what the cost would
seem to suggest or warrant. 1t is
hardly probable that they will banker
after such barbarian feshpots as to
lose any sleep over the matter.

a Lesson from the Savage.

A high officer in the Indian bureau
at Washington makes the astounding
claim that Indian women of this conn
try think more of their children. and
take better care of them. than their
white sisters. The reason he gives
is that the s,Ilaw> have very little To
do except hook after their children.
while the society," woman is too
busy keeping pace with her neighbor
To devote much time to her children.
The nursery is, therefore. the home
of childhood and rubber-t tipped bot
ties the fount from which it draws
its first SuStenance. Indians seldom
administer corporeal punishment to
their children. and the record in
their schools show that they are far
more obcdient than a like number of
white children. He concludes that if
our white women would get back
towards the simple life instead of
wearing out their temperS and diSpO-
sitionS by social wranglcS that only
keep them in a perpetual turmoil, it
would be better for our race. This
opinion is. however, general in its
scope and doubtless deals with those
Indians who have become at least
half-civilized by being pampered on
well-kcpt reservations, and he con-
trastS their simple easy life with
that of the Smart Set. who per-
form SO many foolish freaks at fash
ion resorts. The statement that
squaws have nothing to do does not
apply to the western wilds. at least
in pioneer times, when the dusky
matron worked the clam-beds or
picked "Olallies" while her lord gam
bled away his last shirt or blanket at
the fascinating game of odd -or-cven,
played with little hardwood disks,
deXterously manipulated in hands
full of dried moss, and rolled forth
from either hand over a piece of mat
ting stretched on the ground. 1t
cannot be disputed, however, that
the Indian women, in their primitive
surroundings, were in perfect health,
the first condition for rearing happy,
cOntented and Obedient children.

A MOUNTAIN RISES FROM A MOLE
HILL.-It will be remembered that
the North Yakima State Fair had
antagonized the State Grange by re-
fusing to abolish pool-selling which
had been promised the sporting fra
ternity and had resolved to take no
part in exhibits or in patronage of
the fair. 1t seems that the Whit
man county fair people wished to
stand in with the Interstate man
ayers, who had promised Colfax the
selection of the Carnival Queen, but
the Grange has brought to bear
sufficient influence to divert both OBJ
jects and those in line for queenly
honors have been compelled to abdi-
cate before they had been officially
declared in the line of succession.

MIsFORTUNEs never come singly.
Now Rockefeller has been sued by C.
l.. MOorhead, of New York, to re-
cover 800, 600, 900 damages for "ab-
sorbing" plaintiff formula for manu-
facture of a kind of axle-grease for rail-
roads. If the payment of one-fourth
of that sum to the government for
rebating, causes so much consterna-
ton in Standard Oil management,
what will not this quadruple demand
in amount effect? 1t will doubtless
take something more than the lubri-
cant itself to move that multi-million-
aire to disgorge.

WHAT Is DYNAMITE?-1t often hap
pens that familiarity with an object
leads of inquiry rs to its origin, ma
ture and peculiar characteristics.
The late attempt to fire q local pow
der magazine shows that it had like
wise been used for the storage of
dynamite. and it is claimed that the
substance is only explosive by con-
cuSsiOn. Dynamite resulted from
the first application of nitro glycer-
inc to infusorial earth, in the ratio
of 20 per cent. of the former to 75
of the sand. 1t was discovered by
I.Obrero in 1917, and perfected and
introduced by Alfred Noble in 1863
who used gunpowder instead of the
sand, increasing the power of the
latter many fold. The succeeding
year he made the discovery that it
could be exploded by defamation from
q illuminate, and this was substituted
for high temperature in liberating
its tremendous power. 1t is claimed
that when united with infusorial
earth that nitrO-glycerine is nom
explosive from heat, but this is not
wholly true. If ignited in the open
air, dynamite is said to burn slowly,
but we have frequently heard of its
violent explosion from attempts to
thaw it when in frozen state, in the
ovens of stoves and when indeed
placed near q powerful fire. So it is
not safe to assume that it will, like
Paddy's gun go off aisy," under
any circumstances. Like 4 venom
Gus reptile, it is more tolerant when
it is q mile or so away.

Well, Well.

The new morning daily paper in
an article entitled " Bryan Talk,
INDUCES in this Jack Bunsby form of
expression:
Mr.. Bryan has done the Democratic
party much harm. But at the same
time much good has been accomplished
through the advocacy of his principles.
President Roosevelt is, right now carry
ing out, in his own way many of the
features in the government of these
United States originally advocated by
Mr.. Bryan. And Mr.. Taft, in his
speeches, has tacitly admitted that he
will follow in the Rooseveltian pathway"
That may do for starter, but as
the infant grows it will probably
supplement its goo, GOO with
something less erratic and Illogical.
To follow its line of thought. Mr..
Bryan has done his party much harm
by advocacy of certain principles
that are popular, which have done the
Republican party and Mr.. Roosevelt
much good from the fact that he and
his party took them secondhand
from Mr.. Bryan. These same princi-
pies, discovered and originally advo-
Gated by Mr.. Bryan will likewise do
Mr.. Taft much good, for he has tacit-
ly followed the principles originally
advocated by Mr.. Bryan, adopted
and carried out by Mr. Roosevelt and
now maintained by Mr.. Taft Yer

political necessity. 1t is used by Il
class of partisans who are framing up

edge, till some more fay orablc season.
1t is " Manana, and is the equiva-
lent of tomorrow" in the good old
English. Taft is a Manana" can
didatc because he wishes to dodge

DUMB ANIMALS REJOICE OVER OW

DUMB ANIMALS REJOICE OVER OWN
Frs CONVERSION. What peculiar
idiosyncrasies sometimes actuatc pcO-
pie when they undergo religious"
experience! We now have an account
of man, at Spokane, who declares
that When the spirit of the Holy
Ghost came on me and | heard God
whispering to me of the doctrine,
even the animals on my farm knew
that had been converted. When |
went out to feed the stock, the pigs
grunted, the horses Weighed and the
cattle beloved at me in such way
that | knew they realized | had the

was made by Apostle F.. w. Carrich,
of the Apostolic Christians, during
their farewell service last week, of
the tent meetings they have been
holding. The statement was received
with a solemn chorus of "amens.
Now, We have always thought that
conversion was matter of internal
conviction of sin and repentance for

fence should result in almost mir
acle, in transforming Il cruel master

hardly imagine how the brute crea-
