PIcKwICKIAN PROFESSORS. - The
faculty of the Puget Sound Univer-
sity, at Tacoma, seems to be COM
posed of men of the Pick wickian
stamp, when they attempt to pre-
scribe rules of action for students
and the goods. after school hours.
1t is said that blanks have been pre-
pared for giving in detail all things
done OF evenings, or other intermis-
siOns from labor The filled-in blanks
are to be read at the faculty meetings,
and if any one Of the boys has called
on a fair coed, it is expected that it
will be reported. Us well as the name
OF the co-violator of the rule. Herein
is evidence of their well-intended SIM
plicity. Have they never discovered
how difficult it is to secure States
evidence among pupils. even when
their pcccadclloS are confined to
their own sex? Have they never
heard Of the intlcXiblc spirit of con-

g"ntlcmanly honor. among many
adult-thinking people extends even
to Justification of a false oath for pro-

they expect, for an instant, that this
innovation will not result in false

are indeed of a confiding nature if
they expect the boys will not he

ANoTHRR STAR Has SET.-The
death of Richard Mansfield leaves a
wide gap in the ranks of the fore
most English-speaking actors. While
not an American by birth, his stage
career was SO intimately connected
with the dramatic history of this
country that his name will be insep-
arably connected with the American
stage. He was born in Hcligoland.
Germany, in 1857. He was gener-
ally accorded. to be the peer of Edwin
Booth in this country and of Henry
Irving in England. His versatility
was as wonderful as his conscien-
tiOus attention to all details of stage
presentations was remarkable. He
could play light melodrama in the
afternoon and ShakeSperian trag-
edy the same night. He was equally
at home in comedy or the heavier
casts. Mansfield was handicapped by
not possessing genial nature. He
was hedged about by cold reserve
which kept many sincere admirers Of
his industry and genius, at arms
length as friends. The same was to
some degree observable in his posi-
tiOn before an audience. He did not
possess the magnetic force that
placed him in rhapport with his aud
itors, but all favor bestowed was won
by sterling merit of the actor instead
of the salient personal characters
tics OF the man. Despite this flaw,
the memory of Mansfield will cling as
vivid dream to the memory of all
who have been so fortunate as to
hear him.

1T seems quite the proper thing for
North Carolina to become prohibi-
ton State. The between drink
experience of the executives of the
two Carolinas was calculated to i'm.
part jag that might have lasting
effects. 1t is probably the memory
OF past experience that has caused
the pendulum to swing quite as far
the other way.

DEFALCATIoN \ PAYING BUSINESS

Adams will emerge from the Federal
prison rich man from the amount
OF his defalcation while cashier of the
L. ). assay office at Seattle. The
amount proven is but $50 900. and it
is quite certain that the sum stolen

CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION WIDENs.
Gov. Conner of Alabama. proposes
to meet the railroad situation with
vigor and decision enough to at least
carry the contention between State
and Federal authority to the highest
court of appeal. He will give the
railroads till Oct. LIST to comply with
the recently enacted law. If they
fail to do so, he will call special ses-
sion OF the Legislature to urge the
enactment Of more drastic laws.
This statement was made in response
to the instructions given by Federal
Judge Jones, urging the indictment
of any county or State officer who
interfered in any way with the in
functions issued by his court nullify-
ing the cheap-rate law lately passed
by the Legislature. The charge was
in answer to the threat of Gov. Co
mer of ordering the State officers to
enforce the law despite Federal in
functions.

1t has been asserted that President

have intensified the situation. 1t is
found. however, that like conditions
exist in money markets of London.
Paris and Berlin; that English con-
sols have deprecated to the lowest
point that had been known for sixty
Years. In Japan. according to relia-
bic reports. within the past month
there have been more than one hum
dred failures among her capitalists
and business concerns. which have
caused general restlessness among
her population.
Doubtless this condition of affairs
has had more to do with prompting a
warlike spirit against the United
States than the San Francisco school
trouble. the demolishing of Jap res
taurant or any other cause assigned.
1t is the exempliication of the old
saying: \ person has two reasons
for doing an act, or taking a position:
one of which is the real reason: the
other is the reason which he gives.
This proposition may be applied to
nation, which is only an aggregation
of individuals. A great many Japan
csc politicians believe that foreign
war will stimulate the industries of
their country.
The financial situation is very
acute in Egypt and the Argentine
Republic in South America. In the
former country English capitalists
have found that their investments
proved losing venture during the
past twelve months. which have
prompted large withdrawal of funds
from the country of the pyramids.
In Argentina, business is at a stand
still; money has disappeared from
the channels of trade, and the unem
ployed problem is pronounced.
The present Administration will
use every endeavor to prevent any
serious disturbance in financial cir
cles between now and the next cleo
ton, which might cause a radical
change in the political complexion,
extreme measures to he
taken against the large corporations,
trusts and predatory capitalists.

ANOTHER OCCASIONAL FRUIT PEST.
1t is said that yellowjackets have
this year been a pest to fruit grow
ers in Pierce county, the principal
complaints coming from orchards
near Tacoma. They first attacked
the raspberries, then the blackber-
ries, and now they are working on
plums and apples. 1t is said that
nine of that species of hornet have
been found on single plum, fast re-
ducing it to the bare stone. The ap-
pearance of this pest is not new, and
it has been noted that the occasional
absence of flowers tends to make
their presence known and felt, doubt
less from the necessity to extend
their foraging expeditions to objects
that are more readily missed.

More Issues That Show Same Trend

1t seems quite probable that some
very new issues will be presented for
tn" Administration to take side upon.
when Secretary Garfield of the Inter
i"r Department makes his report and
recommendation for reform in Min
Ing and FOresty. it being understood
that the legislation favored and to he
recommended by the President will

pated clash will be far-reaching in

Forester Pinchot will be able to show
that the receipts from sales. rentals:

concessions of many kinds. are grow

service will soon become Sclf-Support-

the extension of grazing privileges
on public lands, outside of the forest
reserves. a measure which is already
known to be favored by the President.
There will be. however strong OPP

Editor Chickasha Express:
When Mr.. Cruce spoke in Chiclxa-
sha April 18th the morning after, the
Oklahoman said:
'In concluding Mr.. Cruce paid es-
peciaI attention to the charge that
Haskell made against him as being
an intermarried citizen.
"They say that I am not it to be
governor" said he, because ] went

as pure and sweet a woman as God
ever created. They have dared TO att
tack the sancity Of my home and
cast aspersions on the name Of this
dear woman who has gone to her re-
