A Chicago magistrate has decided
that it is no crime for one person to
tread on anothers foot, but that neith-
er is it a crime for the downtrodden
person to retaliate by shifting the foot
orusher in the eye or on the jaw.

The price of hops is soaring and
the advance means money in the pock-
cts of the Northwest growers. A rep
etition of the stirring days of 1904 in
the hop trade is promised. Brewers
of the world are said to be facing a
serious shortage of hops. The market
in Portland has been lifted in few
weeks from 10 to 20 cents. Even old
hops command good price. OffeIs of
13 cents have been made for the 1908
crop, that few weeks ago went beg
ging for cents. Short crops in Eng
land and Germany are reported to be
boosting the price.

Apparently the only way some uni
versity professors can get talked about
is by giving utterance to some very
foolish and unfair views. A professor
in Chicago recently INDUCED in an
indisoriminate TRADE against women.
He charged them with extIava gance
in dress and living, with drunkenness,
immortality and general smashing
of the deoalogue. Such an attack Is
as senseless as it is false. Evidently
he has fallen into the error of think
ing that the character of some SO.
called high society women who drink,
gamble, swear, dress expensively and
look lightly upon marriage vows
reflect the character of ths average
American woman. If he knew more
about practical life he would not fall
into such unwarrantable ElundeIs,
American women as rule are lovers
Of home. chaste, thrifty. industrious,
and good mothers who look we'll after
their children. At the same time an
other professor in the same city and
institution, went to the other extreme
and sought to show that woman,
even In enlightened Amerca, is but
little better than slave. He pictur-
es her lot as one full of hardships,
and herself an object of pity In
thought he must be living IN the
Dark Ages, when much of what he
says was true. and not in the enlight.
ened twentieth century.
