Battle Endanqers MacLean.

Tangier.-The Shereefian troops
Saturday attacked villages belonging
to the Kamass tribe, in whose terri
tory the bandit Raisuli holds Caid Sir
Harry MacLean prisoner. The troops
burned and looted the village, killing
many of the inhabitants and taking a
large number of prisoners. AS the
battle was fought within six hours
journey of where Caid MacLain is be-
lieved to be located, his position is re-
garded as more precarious than ever.
II Is feared that Raisuli may kill his
cao.sye IL he Is hard pressed.

Socialist Parade at Hancock, Mich.,
Broken Up with Clubs.

Hancock, Mich.-A socialist parade
was broken up by policemen Sunday
because many of the marchers carried
red flags, in defiance of recently en-
acted city ordinance.
When the policemen attempted to
arrest those who were carrying red
flags, the color-bearers resisted and
were aided by many of the other
marchers. Clubs were used freely
and many fist fights occurred. No one
was severely hurt Thirteen marchers,
including one woman, were arrested.

what the old Time Publishers PmaR
From a Sense Of Justice.
Some interesting details have been
given out lately as to the sums volun-
tarily paid to British novellsts by
American publishers before the days Of
International copyright. ANY American
firth could reprint at once whatever Is
sued from the English presses, but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets Of forth
coming works, thus enabling them to
get the start of .piratical" firms which
paid the author nothing. 1t Is interest
ing to observe the occasional disparity
between the merit of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was In
the nature of leap in the dark. Often
the sum given by the American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had 1t been possible to secure
them by copyright Thus Anthony
Trollope got $500 for ''Sir Harry Hot
spur" one Of his poorest novels; George
Eliot $500 for Daniel Deronda" and
Charles Reade 5000 for "a Woman
Halter" No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books II
he were permitted to read them before
buying.
On the other hand, by way of com
parlson, the very best books brought
their authors only trihing returns FROM
America. Charles Reade received only

Trollope obtained from the Harper,

"Castle Richmond" $500 for "Phinea.

immediate successors produced re-
suits comparable only in value to the
famous discovery of another Kind OF
gold in Suffers mill race, and brought
fame and no small fortune TO their
lucky owner.
T. rnw orange could be produced
only by budding, and the first buds
sold at 81 each, and later at 50 a
dozen. One box of navel oranges was
grown in 1880; since then the annual
product has risen to 100000 boxes,
and the two trees which the COW did
not chew have multiplied to over A.
900, 900. The original parent tree liv-
ing in 1903 was transferred to the
court yard of the Glenwood hotel at

MORE FATAL THAN WAR.

The Scientific American of New
York city paints the following graphic
word picture of the annual slaughter
of American industries:
Statistics are dry; but sometimes
they are wonderfully illuminating, and
occasionally. by means of tabulated
list, a fact will be brought home to
TIE public with a convincing force,
which could he gained in no other
way.
At the dinner held in New York to
inaugurate the opening in this city of
the First International Exposition of
Safety Devices and Industrial Hygiene.
Governor Hughes made the startling
announcement that the number of
people killed or wounded in the vari-
Gus industries Of the United States,
amounts TO 100000 every year!
And yet, If we bear In mind what
a large number Of people fall victims
annually to the carelessness with
which our railroads are operated, II
should not surprise US that In the
whole range of our Industrial activity
the total number of accidents should
reach the stupendous figure Of half q
million.
It is characteristic Of the short
sightedness, the absence of perspec
tive. the lack Of sense Of proportion
which marks the average individual

cry against the slaughter of great
war-an event which may occur once
in 10 years--when, as matter of
fact the killings and woundlngs of
battle are insignificant compared to
the day-by-day carnage and mutila-
ton which occur in the prosecution
of the so-called peaceful arts.
And this tragedy is rendered all
the more terrible when we learn that
by the outlay of a certain amount Of
money ana the expenditure of rea-
sonahle amount of well-timed fore
thought and protective provision,
most of our industrial accidents could
he absolutely prevented.

PEOPLE AND COMMISSION.

The railroad commission bill as
nassed by both branches of the Ore
eon legislature is not satisfactory TO
Governor Chamberlain, because the
appointlve power is taken away from
the governor. and it is probable that
he will veto the measure when 1t
comes up to him.
His argument for giving the ap-
pointive power to the governor is that
somebody should be responsible; that
the railroad commission should not
be beyond the reach of the executive
in case of unfitness or dishonesty
and the argument is good. If Oregon
must have a commission, it would
simplify matters to provide in the
law for its political makeup and then
leave the appointment with some
body in authority.
However, the people are capable o.
selecting these officials as well a:
others. If the people choose th'
wrong men they will have no one tc
blame but themselves.
What the people should have. now
is the power of recall. They should
be able to unseat any man guilty o
crookedness without the slow process
of Impeachment.
There should be a quick method o
removal
