LIE government is going after the
liquor interests pretty strong these
DAYS and 1t seems that it is not the
intention to handle them with kid
gloves either. The storthing ha:
passed a law, by vote Of 70 to 43,
imposing such heavy tax on the dis.
tilleries that it is believed that the
tWenty-four distilleries in Norway will
have to close down in the near future
and that all liquor used hereafter in
Norway will have to be imported. In
the district of Hedemarken and Kris.
tlanstad there are twenty-one distil
lerles, chiefly owned and controlled by
stock companies, in which the land
owners are the stockholders and the
closing down of these concerns will
throw large number of men out OF
employment. If the law will be ap.
piled which it stands to reason that il
will, there will be a perfect revolu.
ton in the liquor traffic Of the coun.
try.

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

The teachers of Denmark, says an
exchange, are demanding important
legislative reforms that will raise the
standard Of their profession, and tend
to separate secular from religious in.
struction. They are demanding that
the new teachers must have higher
scholastic attainments than in the
past, and that inspection of the schools
by representatives of the church be
discontinued and replaced by inspec
ton of school men. Herr Sorensen
the minister of culture, has been sc
impressed by the united action of the
teachers that he has agreed to recon-
mend to the rigsdag the enactment OF
law carrying out the first demand
Of the pedagogues, and will ask 70,
the appointment Of commission t.
consider the second demand.
Ole Hansen, who for a number OF
years has been vice-president of the
'Bondestandens Sparekasse," of which
Alberti was president, has resigned
from his position as president of the
National bank in Copenhagen. Tho
Danish people are furious and demand
that every one of the officials who had
anything to do with Alberti's affairs
resign at once. King Frederik has Of.
fered to assist the ruined depositor5
with 100000 Of his own money. The
affair is deplorable one, as it in.
wolves some of the highest officials in
the country. The people are clamor-
ing for thorough investigation. and
unless this is made, there will un.
doubtedly be some trouble brewing.
The Alberti embellishments are
growing in proportions every day, it
seems. A recent telegram from Copeu-
hagen states that they have now
reached the 100000 crown mark
and that among one of the heaviest
losers is the Danish king himself, who
is reported to have lost not less than
100000 crowns. Some of the gov
eminent officials have been completely
upset regarding the matter, but there
seems to be neither head nor tail to
the affair as yet. =
Reports state that quite few of the
old military officers will be given an
honorable discharge by the king this
fall. z,

FOR THEIR BENEFIT.

There are some big wheat farmers
o. this county who misunderstood
the East Oregonian's agitation for in
tensified farming methods and for
the ultimate division of the big
ranches.
There are some farmers who feel
they are under personal attack
that they are being asked to give up
something.
This is entirely wrong. For the big
wheatmen of the county this paper
has much admiration. They are en-
titled to admiration for their indus
try and their business sagacity. The
East Oregonian is proud of their big
ranches, their big bank accounts and
of the auto cars in which they ride.
The agitation for more intensified
farming is not a movement antagon-
istic to the present farm owners. 1t
is a movement in their behalf? II
better farming methods prevail, if
annual instead of biennial crops may
be raised, the price of land in this
county will be nearly doubled.
Naturally those now in the farming
business would be the chief benefic-
iaries. After they had sold off some
of their land at the increased prices
farmers would be able to afford air.
ships and steam yachts as we'll as au-
tomobiles.
The East Oregonian is advising the
adoption of more intensified methods
for a treble purpose. The adoption
Of such methods mean a denser set
tlement Of the country, increased bus
mess for the towns of the county and
the enhancement of farm values.
If farmers do right they will not
feel offended at the suggestions made
! for their benefit. The advice this
paper Is giving is sincere advice. This
paper has some knowledge of the
subject. The information it has
comes from the best of sources.
The East Oregonan hopes the
farmers will give honest, careful con-
sideration to the subject of better
farming. It hopes they will try tC
raise something better than bienni-
al crop of wheat. If they succeed in
doing so. they themselves will reap
the richest reward.

il does not mean that he is licensed
TO stand as an obstruction, blocking
the administration of justice. Nor
does a fair trial for his client mean
that the lawyer may dig pitfalls in
order that justice may be thwarted
or that he may lay nets and webs and
snares in order that public officials
charged with the administration Of
justice may be betrayed into error"
1t is refreshing to hear lawyer
talk this way. 1t indicates that mem
bers Of the bar themselves desire TO
eliminate many of the things that now
clog the wheels of justice. And some
day these things will be eliminated.
Then criminals will be punished
murderers will be hanged and swim
dlers will go to Jail.

At this time the fate of the woolen
mill hangs in the balance. Within
the next "a hours it will probably be
decided whether the present move
shall fail or succeed. Now is the time
for those who want the mill to re-
main in Pendleton to work with
might and main.
So far the outlook is optimistic
There are 10 or 12 local business men
and property owners who are earn
estly enlisted in the movement. But
more money is needed. 1t must be
had if the mill is to be retained and
reopened.
Here is a suggestion. If followed
the mill corporation may be formed
with ease.
Let those who are now interested
do as G. NJ. Rice offered to do yes
terday. Let them double .he amount
of their investments, If II men will
but do this the mill will soon be run
ming once more.
Up to this time prospective stock
holders have been asked for $1,000
each. But many of those now inter-
ested are as able to invest $4,000 or
$4,000 as the amount they have al
ready agreed to invest. Further
more. a company with IL stockhold-
ers would be a more wieldy corpora
ton than one with %.
The men who are now interested in
the enterprise have heard the subject
discussed pro and con. They are per-
sonally acquainted with the man who
wishes to run the mill. They know
his past record and his present ambi-
tlon. They know the money making
possibilities - the wooden mill busi-
ness.
Is not the showing good enough to
Justify an investment Of $4,000 each
from those who have promised to be-
come stockholders? II 50. let those
who are able to purchase that amount
Of stock do 50. Then If few more
new men can be secured the success
of the enterprise is assured.

\ SONG OF SENIIRANHS.

Who hath loved Queen Semiramis,
These many years by visions led,
Who hath desired her mouth to kiss,
A blossom, amorous, red;
He should have love for wine and
bread,
Loving her once in Babylon;
Her beauty shamed the mounting
semiramis the queen is dead.
For wonder of Semiramis
All the brown world bent down wltn
dread.
She was a glorious queen, l wis,
Splendid and shameful, all mer
said;
Beauty she had in her souls stead
Now is her empery fOredone.
In Babylon the lizards run,
Semiramis the queen is dead.
The splendor of Semiramis
Is sunken in a shallow bed,
For sound Of lutes the serpents hiss,
Her clamorous lovers all are fled.
None sitteth at her shrouded head
OF singing girls she hath not one,
Whispering joy. now JOY is none:
Semiramis the queen is dead.

Refreshing.

OF late there has been strong critl-
cism of our criminal courts and Of
our criminal procedure. That much
Of this Is richly merited all men agree.
There are many lawyers who are now
emphatic in asserting as much.
Hear what a prominent California
lawyer had to say at recent meeting
in san Francisco:
There are two fundamental defectA
which are injuriously affecting the
administration Of justice in San Fran
cisco.
"The first Of these rests with the
legal profession and the second lies
with the community Itself.
'It becomes the 6uty Of the mem
bers Of the bar. either when employ
ed or when appointed by the court
to defend criminals. Under any civ
ilized system Of Jurisprudence this
means that a lawyer must see to II
that his client has a fair trial But II
does not mean that he has the righ,
70 seek for his client an unfair trial;
