WON BY FINISHING THIRD.
Tive intercollegiate Champions So Made
by Succeeding DIsauaIincatIOn

by Succeeding Disqualification.
-You hear a lot about men in races being
told to do their best TO finish. beoAuse some
one ahead OF them might be disqualified,
said the one time college athlete, -and
l never thought much of IL until q curious
combination Of happenings made a man
who finished third in one race an inter-
collegiate champion and the year following
again gave a man who really finished third
the title for the same distance.
~I'm talking Of the 100 yard run in
the intercollegiate champ ionshirs 8. In 1902
Arthur Duney finished first on the day tho
race was run, making a new worlds record
OF 0 3-5 seconds for the distance. Second
to him wGs William A. Schiok Of Harvard.
J. =. Wost ney OF Pennsylvania was third.
and | don't recollect who was fourth
There was some doubt Of the standing Of
Schtck, and he was running under protest
anyway. He was disqualified some time
afterward. and that gave Westney second
medal for second place to Schick anyway,
and never had any medal for the place
well, you know that in 1908 DuEfey
fessional. and the |. C: 4, A. A. A. and
A. A. y, promptly took his name on the
boards That made Westney the cham
riOn for 1902. and his name is In tho book
with three yards behind os-S seconds
recorded as his time. He was further back
than that.
when they took DuRey's name away
as chamr Ion for 1908 a. well, that gave
Fay r. Moulton Of Yale the first place
Any one who remembers the race In 1909
knows that the judges made an awful
error in Joking the men, and there was
every evidence tina Schick beat Moulton
for second lace that day by about : yard.
The difference in POINTS that day made
the difference between Harvard winning
the chaInT ionshib or Yale getting Il, and
three years afterward IL made the dIfer-
eIcn as TO the actual ttleholder for 100
yards.
-You can see Il sometimes pays TO run
the full distance, no matter whore you
finish. because you can't tell how soon
those ahead of you may be disqualified

The principle laid down in these lectures
is that law is based upon and is dependent
upon custom and therefore we cannot
materially change lew without changing
custom, and 10 change custom 10 a thing
beyond our direct and immediate power.
Society cannot at will change its customs;
indeed, IL cannot even will to change them
This seems at first sight to hold out but
feeble encouragement to efforts for social
improvement; yet we know that improve
ment Goes taSe placo and We cannot
help thinking that the numerous forms OF
activity having improvement for their
object do ed in bringing it Ebout. The
things which IL is important for us TO know
are how far this improve ment d pends Oh
causes beyond our co1trol end to whf..
extent end in what wey our coasc Qua

The origin, Growth and Function Of Law.
Not only the professional but also the
general reader will he interested in the
lectures prepared for delivery tetore the
law school of Harvard University and
now published in book form under the title.
LdU: Hs Origin, GroFth and Function, by
the late JAMES COOLIDGE CARTFR, LID.
(Putnams). II In well known that Mr..
Carter took the principal part in opposing
the adoption by the State Of New York
OF the Civil Code Of which the late David
Dudley Field was the author The argu-
ments which Mr.. Carter framed and ad-
dressed to successive Legislatures and
Governors led to the final rejection OF the
proposed code. His views were outlined in
series Of pamphlets, the first Of which ap-
peare1 in 1888 and bore the title. The
Proposed Codifcation of Our Common
Law Five years later he delivered an
address before the Virginia State Bar Asso-
citation. which was Afterward published
under the title Of THE Provinces OF the
Written and Unwritten Law" and in 1890
an address before the American Bar Asso-
citation upon The Ideal and the Actual in
the Law" After his retirement from active
practice Mr.. Carter determined to devote
his leisure 10 setting forth a more complete
expression Of his opinions on these topics
than had been contained in the pamphlets
and addresses, but at the suggestion Of
President Eliot OF Harvard University he
substituted for the proposed work series
Of lectures to be delivered before the law
school at Cambridge.
In a memorandum left by him and evil
IDENTIFY intended ss suggestion for preface
he mentions that he had been led TO enter
tain much doubt concerning the correctness
Of the conceptions most widely accepted Of
the nature. scope and authority not only
OF the written but Of the unwrittsn law and
had come to think that Notwithstanding the
number OF tratises upon the subject the
original source and nature OF what may be
called jurisprudence had never been SUM-
GENTLY explored. In particular. the defini-
ton Of law AZ a command seemed to Mr..
Carter fundamental error.

War between France and England was
declared in February. 17O3 but IL was not
until three years later that an invasion
OF the British Isles was planned on a con-
siderable scale. In June. I7Oe. Gen. Hoche
was informed by the Directory that IL
relied upon him to put the plan in execu-
ton. The expedition under his command.
however, did not leave Brest for Ireland
until December OF the year named The
military force under Hoche consisted Of
some l4.0O0 men, and the feet comprised
seventeen sail-of-the-line, besides thirteen
frigstes and Eve corvettes. 1t 10 well
known that the feet was scattered by
storm and that two Of the battleships COL
lded. while a third foundered. II ls also
q familiar fact that the expedition proved
Q hasco. but Napoleon gave it as his opinion
that had Hoche been able to land his "Rne
army hs.- would have been successful.
Dumouriez likewise says in the manuscript
to which we have referred that had Ad-
miral Bouvet. who commanded the feet,
sacrificed his ships. and had Gen. Hochs
not been parted from his army by q storm,
the expedition would not have failed.

pedition against Ireland projected in the

was q far OF echo OF the first stage OF the
French Revolution. Gen. Humbert suo-

have realised that nothing short OF miracle
could wrest victory from the troops drawn
UP on the heights but he made the attack
and the miracle happened
Tho French soldiers forced their way up
the heights, carried the trenches, captured
the town and pursued the British troops
for some distance. Subsequently, how
ever. Humbert was compelled 10 surrender
by a body OF British regulars under Lord
CORVALLIS. There Is reason 10 think that

Toledo, Oregon, on Monday the
18th day of October, 1908, for the
purpose of examining and correct

QUIRED TO BE IN SESSION, and any

verified, and filed shall not be con-
sidered or acted upon by the Board
and notice is hereby given to each
and every taxpayer assessed upon
said rolls, that if he fails to appear
before said Board, or files with said
Board a verified petition, during the
first week of its session, he will be
unable to obtain relief before the

hereafter absolutely refuse to allow
any rebate of any taxes paid upon

that the law makes the Board OF

for correcting said rolls.

Waldport Items.

tatA
The Condor sailed STANDARDIZATION
discharging her wet cargo. She
carried out potatoes and cheese.
The summer season is not over at
Waldport. There has been more
travel during the past week than at
any other time this season.
Capt. Geo. Tyler was with us
several days last week and exhibited
several fine talking machines. He
gave several concerts at Kent's hall.
Several weeks ago it was reported
that the road to tidewater was COM
pleted. This was correct but we
are sorry to say that drivers have
reported the road as unsafe and
supervisor Evens will probably have
to close it to travel unless work is
done on it at once.
Postmaster Wakefield has made
out IA number of orders recently for
hunters applying for a licenses.
The fine paid two weeks ago by a
Waldporv citizen has had a good
effect on the County Treasury.
The Alsea cannery may yet run
this season. Gilmore and Co. have
sent in man to look over the situa-
ton and one of the facts brought to
light was that F. G. Stillwell, re-
cent manager, did not make as good
an offer for fish as he was author
lied to. The difference was one
cent per fish. Quite an item to
the fishermen during a season.
A dance was given by the band
in Even's hall Friday evening in
stead of Saturday as heretofore
The change was made at the re-
quest of the fishermen who do not
fish Friday night on account of not
being able to get their fish out OF
Yaquina on Sunday. Should the
cannery open the dances will be re-
sumed on Saturday evenings.

JUDGE Scott in his address before
the good roads meeting here last
Friday spoke at considerable length
on the tourist travel that this county
would get if we had first class
automobile road leading to the Val
ley. AS bad as our roads are we
have had q great deal of that kind
of travel in from the Valley to the
seaside this summer. If tourists
want to visit this seaport bad enough
for few of them to risk their necks
on the roads we now have, what
would we get in the way of that
kind OF travel if we had first class
road for them to ride over. We
have the finest beach, the finest
scenery, the best climate in the
world, now why not help nature
Just little and make it possible for
people to come and see what we
have. The tourists are not the only
people to be benefited by such a
road. Every man, woman and
child living in the county would be
directly benefited.
