The knight OF the golden helmet
rode hrlskly down the lane, His
sword made pleasant clanklng IN the
rusty scabbard which Il was never in'

plumos waved hravely IN the breeze.
Anon from sheer exuherance Of splr'
It's the knight Of the golden helmet
let out u Wild and joyous whoop which
startled the grazing cattle and set the
mild eyed sheep budding together IN
trembling wonder,
The general getup OF the gentleman
Of the aureate headplece was a trllc
startling. Upon his head was q has'
ket. the handle beneath bis chin and
its bottom lOr, rather, top In It's pres

feathers Of an incautious rooster.
About his waist was a red sash stuck
full Of wooden dirks, From the left
side Of this sash half dangled, half
dragged, the naval sword In the old
cavalry scabbard.
A rake handle answered the purpose
OF a lance and bore as its pennon a
tlutterIng three eornered piece Of red
flannel. Upon the knights fat, club
by legs were fastened pieces Of zinc,
evidently intended for greaves, The
steed he bcstrode was crooked piece

II is quite needless 70 state perhaps
that the knight OF the gold helmet
had recently been filling his small
head with certain romantic literature
relating to the days Of chivalry.

absorbed, be thirsted for deeds Of
valor.

oREcoNs VITAL ISSUE.

Good faith and moral responsible
ity ought to determine the senatorial
issue in Oregon; but, in the final
analysis, there il more involved in
the issue than the good faith and
moral responsibility Of members Of
the present legislature Of Oregon.
The organic rights Of the people Of
Oregon, representing a residuary so
vereignty which must ever inhere in
a free people under our system Of
government, are at stake, and if
these rights are sacrificed it will be
to the perpetual shame Of the com
monwealth.
Legislators in Oregon may break
their promises; except by moral
suasion. by an appeal to their man
hood and their consciences, there is
no way TO prevent them from vioiat-
ing the solemn pledges they have
made to the voters of the State.
But before they heed the bad ad-
vice Of men who are urging them to
ignore moral obligations they have
legally assumed, 1t may be wen for
them to take a reckoning lest they
drift too far from safe moorings and
plunge themselves and their state
into dishonor.
They are told that they viii do
violence to the federal constitution
II they heed the instructions Of the
people on the senatorship II is not
true. The constitution empowers
shem to elect the senators from that
state; bat II leaves them absolutely
free to say in what manner they viii
determine a choice; If they elect, as
they have elected, to refer the mat
ter Of a choice to the people of Ore
gon. and declare their purpose to
abide BY the preference thus ex-
pressed they have a right to do so,
and there is not a word or a syllable
in the federal constitution to con-
demn or nullify such a procedure.
The people Of Oregon have spoken
on this question. They may have
erred. But the issue is no longer a
party issue; it is now a question Of
morals, question of political de-
cency on the part Of members Of the

nAtely 1t seemed to be an on day for
opportunities.
The cattle gazed upon him IN melan-
choly doubt. The sheep punched TO-
gether and sent up discordant bleats.
Aside from these, the landscape gave
no evidences of life.
II was a sorry world. Whatever
It was you wanted you never got II,
the knlghtly gentleman reflected sadly.
One couldn't perform deeds Of valor
with nothing at hand but sheep and
cattle. People we're necessary to bis

knight Of the golden helmet spurred
his good apple limb steed to yet
more furious pace and sped down the
shaded lane in quest Of adventure.
He had just splashed through the
muddy pool where the cattle drank
each evening and was canterIng blithe-
ly past the birches beyond when he
saw young man approaching - a

blue clouds Of smoke in his wake.
The knight of the golden helmet

man before him with familiar:
"Hey, Charlie"
Then, suddenly remembering the dig

small shoulders and threw up his chin.
"What, no, Charles!' he corrected

the first time Of the others presence.

LAWS PROTECT CRIMINALS,

AT last great minds are beginning
to find defects in our laws which
have tendency to protect the
criminal to the detriment Of society
and are asking that the next sitting
Of the state legislature be called up
on 10 draft restrictive laws to pre-
vent unnecessary review Of judicial
action on the part of the criminal
In the DAYS OF Samuel when muir
derers were given an opportunity 70
seek a city of refuge, justice came
as near being meted out as at the
present time. For 5000 years wise
heads have endeavored to pass laws
to ward OF mans inventions for es-
Gaping justice and the result is that
the nation is swamped with Grim
inal codes and repealed laws which
have more loop holes than a rail
fence. All kinds Of ridiculous quib-
bling BY the legal profession is toll
Grated by the bench to the end that
justice is always delayed and fire.
Quently defrauded. 1t is high time
for the bar association to concern
itself in procuring legislation that
will protect society and punish the
criminal, instead Of vice versa.-Ex.
