THE PERPLEXTIES OF WORLD
EMPIRE

Probably no one can begin to under
stand the confusing explanation of the
recent political assassination in Lon
don without more than common known
edge of the oriental mind.
A native of India, educated in one
Of the British colleges there and now
completing his education in London,
killed, without visible provocation an
Indian officer who has been unusually
active and efficient in carrying out
Lord Morley's plan for the abatement
of native discomfort in the empire
This assassination is compared with
the Phoenix park murders Of many
years ago, but those were compare
lively easy to understand and deal win

a small part of it We're ideas familiar
enough to western Europe. .5,,rc -. :.
But the British government. confronts
in India neither a political party of
agitation for legislative reform nor an
ordinary conspiracy of terror by as
sassination-: butt a mysterious move
+ment in thick mental darkness like that
which kept the administration guess
ing up to the very moment, of the out
break of the mutiny of 1857. 49,, -.
The strange thing is that. at present
this condition in India is apparently
confined to the natives that have ben
Gifted most. by British rule; namely
the students in British colleges and the
native, civil students. These have TAX
en- in with their education and en-
ployment in public trust vague ideas
Of liberty and democracy which they

ditional methods of conspiracy, revolt
and assassination.
Men who know India best believe
that the native colonies and the In
dian colonies in London are honey
| cOmbed with secret societies as bloody
in means and as indefinite in ends as
the most extreme nihilist group in
Russia.
If it be true that the Indian people
can be ruled only by a benevolent
despotism, and can neither understand
nor apply the kind of government Lore
Morley is experimenting with, the con-
servatives may have to finish the Lib
eral party's job in India as the Lib

bv all the others The conference VIII
hardly do that as to wheat, though
the houses have agreed to it as to flax
The reason for this distinction brings
light on a feature of the wheat draw
hack to which many have tried IN
vain to draw attention. In this coun-
trv the flax industry is most important
for it's by-product of linseed oil cake
for stock feeding. If this could be
made for export out of seed imported
duty free. there would be more oil
cake fer home consumption and the
price might fall. If the by-product OF
flax, namely oil cake, could be sold at
home without paying duty, the con-
sumner would profit by lower prices
This is no less true Of the smaller
by-product of milling wheat, namely,
the offal used for feeding stock. That
like oil cake, is consumed by farmers
and stock growers. Everybody In
Washington agrees that the millers
must nav duty on this offal from i'm
ported wheat Otherwise the draw
hack would benefit the consumer, which
isn't to be thought Of
The tariff is made for the manufac-
turer and can be suspended only in his lis
,nterast The consumer doesn't count
any more in lifting the burden of the
tariff by a drawback than in laying 1t
on He never will count till he learns
that the whole excess profits of Ameri-
can manufacture are taken out of him
in the high prices he pays for his daily
neceSSa rieS.

AnusementS
CIRCUS GENIUS is RARE.
Mr.. Wallace, Of Hasenbeck- Wallace
Shows, Is One of a Few Sue
cessful Men.

A big modern circus and menagerle
probably embraces more different
kinds of SYSTEM and discipline than
any other business in which men en-
gage for profit 1t is a fact not gener-
ally known that the average number
of circuses starting out each spring
would foot up TO the amazing total OF.
a possible two hundred. Where they
go no one knows. They start out as
bouyantly as can be- but somehow they
never seem to get back When one
in America for the past rs years, it
is really remarkable that so few men
have succeeded in the circus business.
1t seems pretty clear that a variety
of genius not common is necessary
to become a successful circus proprie-
tor.
There are only three e., four we'll
known circus names today, and two
of them, ''Hagenbeck" and Wallace
are among the most prominent. The
combination of the Wallace circus as
made two years ago with the Hagen
| beck animal interests has developed
a show different in a sense from the
other big shows, the trained wild
animals giving lit feature both unique
and interesting.
These animal actors are the artistic
Gratis of the, menagerie and they looI
i down upon the common animals, ahose

are jealous, too. The trainers and as

CAN APPOINT COMMISSIONER.
Supreme Court Refuses In junction
Against Selection Asked for by
Reclamation Service.

OLYMPIA, July 1.-THE suI'-eme
court today refused to issue an in
junction to prohibit the superior court
of Okanogan county naming water
commissioner, as asked for by the
federal reclamation service under a
1907 state law.
The court finds that under the laws
the superio. judges may perform a
number of duties, which are not jul
dicial; such, for instance, as solem-
nizihg marriage, and by inference
finds judges may properly make this
appointment but declines at this timT
to pass upon whether the state law
is constitutional or not That ques-
ton will probably be determined af'
ter the water commissioned, has beer
appointed, should any person thsr
decide to bring suit involving the RICH
of the commissioner to act.
The federal reclamation service seek
the appointment of the commissions

PROTECTION is DUE
FOOLS, SAYS COURT
Aids Man Who Gets Worst of Bargain
Through Poor Judgment.

OLYMPIA, July 1.-THE supreme
court, in a decision rendered today,
announced in effect that its jurisdic-
ton includes the. protection of fools
from the consequences of their own
folly in deciding the case of James T.
woody and wife against the Benton
Water company. 1t says: "'No rogue
should enjoy his III gotten plumber for
the simple reason that his victim is by
chance a fool" .-..
Woody traded a Whitman county
farm to the Benton company for sixty
acres of land, He brought this suit
for damages, claiming he had been de-
frauded, as the land was too high to
be irrigated from the canal. The de-
tense was that he had personally in
spected the land before he closed the
deal and that the old rule of ''let the
! purchaser beware" applied. The lower
court granted a nonsuit. The supreme
court, after announcing the ruling
above quoted, reverses this decision
! and orders a new trial.
