4 rumor is afloat that Mayor-elect

of police, and we trust the rumor
proves true. The Herald has observed
Mr.. Archer since his connection with

administration of the office of county
assessor for four years has never peeh
excelled. We also recognize IN MI

venture to say that there are at least
a thousand men working in the mills
that have more good common sense
about erecting brick buildings than
Mr.. Hits has.
l understand Mr.. Hits has asked
the city council to condemn my build
ing. Relative to this, I think that
when Mr.. Hits gets older and gets
more common horse sense into his
Uranium, he will know that build
ing cannot be condemned legally un-
less it's condition is a menace to the
public and endangers life. This is
not the condition of my building. Mr..
Hits has not shown and cannot show
that my building is a menace to the
public and endangers life; therefor
it cannot be condemned legally.
This is not the first and only in
stance that Mr.. Hits has acted in a
similar manner.
Such action strikes me as unfair
and ungentlemanly and If counten-
anced by the citizens of Aberdeen,
will eventually discourage great
many property owners who desire to
build and retard the healthy growth
of the city. All investors should be
treated alike and no favors and privi-
leges extended to certain of them that
cannot be fairly enjoyed by all,
neither should certain Of them be re-
stricted and hamepered in their work
while others, more favored are given
unlimited license.

Sugar is an article of universal con-
sumption and a convenient subject of
a revenue duty. But the tax equiva-
lent to 80 per cent, one of the highest
rates in the law, was established with
quite as much regard to the interests
of the Sugar Trust as to that of the
United States Treasury. There is "a
committee of wholesale grocers formed
to ur reduction of the duties on
sugar." and this committee is dis
seminating the information that the
American Sugar Refining company
has been selling considerable guam
titles of sugar for export at nearly
two cents under the domestic price.
Claus A. Spreckels, who Is outside the
Sugar Trust, told the ways and means
committee last November that sugar
refining needed no protection, and he
favored the free admission of both
raw and refined. But the United
States treasury would miss the rev.
enue. The rates, however, ought to
be for revenue and not for the pro-
lection of an industry that has no
need of it.

The Law of Libel.

Enlightened public opinion will
commend the supreme court OF Ore
gOn for ordering a new trial in the
case OF George Putnam, the Medford
newspaperman. who was tried and
condemned for criminal libel. II the
Putnam character and kind OF jour-
nalism were alone at issue he would
receive but little sympathy from any
respectable source. But the question
at issue here arose entirely above
Putnam and resolved itself into a
grave menace to the liberty OF the
press. When Judge Hanna forbade
Putnam to introduce the truth In ev-
idence at the trial of his case blow
was struck at the press which no
persons who cares for American insti-
buttons could contemplate without
disuuiet. AS Judge Bean remarks in
his decision, under the barbarous
common law the truth was no de-
Tense in a libel suit. There was an
old legal maxim to the effect that
"The greater the truth the greater
the libel" The law looked princi-
pally to the effect of the libelous
publication upon the public. 1t was
supposed to weaken the government
undermine respect for authority and
pave the way to riot.
The law of libel in one form OF
another has always been strong
hold of tyranny. The German en-
peror does not resort to it now so
much as he did when his supremacy
was in full bloom, but during the
opening years of his reign no editor
of Independent views was safe from
prosecution. The crime went under
the more dignfified name of lese
majestic, but it was nothing more
and nothing less than criminal libel,
exactly the same offense for which
the American government Is now
prosecuting the New York World
and other newspapers. Almost any
remark about the Russian govern
ment which is not fulsomely lauda-
tory Is criminal libel. All over the
world 1t is the constant effort of Of
ficialdom to shield itself from criti-
cism by making 1t crime to print
the truth. Thus far nothing of the
kind has succeeded very well in this
h. 10 rnn n6
persistently. In Putnam's case a
prosecuting officer and his grand
jury sought to shield themselves
from newspaper critisism by the bad
old method of prosecution for GRIM
inal libel, and the trial judge aided
their unworthy effort by forbidding
the accused editor to prove the truth
in his defense. -Oregonian

Ship subsidy has again received a
ouietus at the hands of Republican
Congress. Senator Frye, of Maine,
who is very good man in many re-
spects, is the inspiring genius OF this
scheme. without his activity in its
behalf it would have died long ago.
He has done all that could be eX-
pected of him by the subsidists, and
he ought to see by this time that the
scheme is repugnant to the sentiments
Of the American people. who do not
wish TO see millions Of public money
misused TO create and foster a mon
ster OF monopoly in transportation
on the high seas.

FIGHTING FIRES AT SEA.
A New Device That May Save Many
Lives.

The admission of water to the hold
is often insufficient. and-may perhaps
be dangerous on account OF its weight,
which diminishes the bueyancy of the
hull. 1t is needless to add that it also
may injure the whole cargo, even that
part not reached by the fire. For this
reason steam if often used as a sub
stitute, and inventors have also plan
ned to introduce carbonic gas.
An Australian inventor, Mr. George
Harker, has had a very original idea.
He also uses incombustible gases to
stop the progress of the fire; but he
does not generate these gases by a
special apparatus, he takes them from
the place where they are naturally
found on board every steamer. He
uses the combustion gases that nor
mally escape through the tunnels with
the smoke and other products of the
furnaces.
The device has already been in
stalled on a steamer, the Fiona, be-
longing to an Australian sugar com
pany. The object is to reduce the
quantity Of oxygen in the hold of a
burning vessel to a proportion SO

INSTINCT AND REASON.
An Interesting Illustration CT the Two
Traits in Monkeys.

An illustration showing the differ
ence between instinct and reason in
monkeys came under the observation
of my friends David Starr Jordan. the
famous naturalist. DR.. Jordan likes
monkeys. and until an uncomfortable
household experience with an especial
ly clever and mischievous one, a few
years ago, has always had several of
these pets about his house At one
time he had two lively. Macacus
monkeys called Bob and Jocko These
were nut and fruit eating monkeys,
and instinctively knew just how to
crack nuts and peel fruits. At the
same time he had a baby monkey.
Mono OF another kind, a kind that had
the eggeating instinct. But Mono
had never yet seen an egg.
To each of the three monkeys DR..
Jordan gave an egg, the first that any
of them had ever seen. Baby Mono,
descended from egg-eating ancestors
handled his egg with all the inherited
experiences of a long developed in
stinct. He cracked it With his upper
teeth making a hole in it. and sucked
out all its substance. Then holding
the egg-shell up to the light and see
ing there was no longer anything in it,
he threw it away. All this he did
mechanically, automatically. and just
as well with the first egg as with any
other he afterward had. And all eggs
since given him he has treated in the
same way.
The monkey Bob took his egg for
some kind of nut. He broke it with
his teeth and tried to pull off the she'll
When the inside ran out and fell on
the ground he looked at it for mo-
ment in bewilderment, then with both
hands scooped up the yolk and the
sand mixed with it and swallowed it.
Then he stuffed the shell into his
mouth. This act was not instinct: it
was reason. He was not familiar by
inherited instinct with eggs. He
would handle one better next tins.
however Reason very often makes
at first; but when it is
trained it becomes a means far more
valuable and powerful than instinct.
The third monkey. Jocko, tried to eat
his egg in much the same way that
Bob did, but not liking the taste, he
threw it away.-St. Nicholas.

A BIG SCRAP HEAP.
San Francisco Has One to Beat Any
Other In the World.

The largest scrap heap in the world is
in San Francisco. relic of the great
fire which followed the earthquake Of
April. 1906. 1t is 40 feet high, 100 feet
square and contains 10000 tons, all
cut in equal lengths ofeighteen inches
ard piled in one solid mass, with the
sides as smooth and solid as a brick
wall This is the only one of four
heaps of equal size and proportion
which remains intact in it's original size
and shape, the other three having been
drawn upon as the material was need
ed. Many other scrap heaps are piled
about the bay awaiting shipment, some
as pig as house and others mere hill
ocks, scattered over acres of ground.
Since the fire one company has handled
10000 tons Of this old material Il
has six large shears in operation to
cut the iron and steel either that it
may be better handled for shipment or
for the furnace, says the Iron Trade
Review. Little Of this scrap is used in
San Francisco, the bulk of it being
shipped to the Atlantic coast or to
European ports.

slight that the phenomena of combus-
ton can no longer go on. Normally
this proportion is u per cent, and Mr.
Harkcr has proved that if the per-
centage falls to about IA or Is, the
flames resulting from combustion are
Immediately arrested. If the reduc-
tion of the oxygen is pushed somewhat
farther. the combustion itself will stop.
And Mr., Harker states, with perfect
logic, that il we convey into the hold
at the beginning of fire the gases of
combustion that are passing out
through the funnel, before they reach
the outer air, we shall have an atmos-
phere where flame and combustion will
quickly disappear.
