RECEPTION DID Nor WANT FOR Cor
DIALITY.-lt seems that William ].
Bryan was received with q cordiality
last month while hunting big game
in the mountains of chihuahua, (pro-
nounced Chi-wa-wa) Mexico, that
under the circumstances was rather
more fervent than agreeable. 1t was
hug from a big bear. After he and
other members Of the party had
chased and fired upon the bear, the
animal tumbled over and lay mo-
tionless for several minutes. Think
ing the animal was dead, Mr.. Bryan
ran up to the bear. which suddenly
swung out its paws and grabbed him
about the waist. Quickly jerking
free of his coat, which the bear tore
to pieces, Mr.. Bryan dealt the
wounded animal q blow with the butt
end of his gun. BY this time other
members of the party had rushed to
the scene and shot the bear. Mr..
Bryan was not excited and would
not admit he had o close call, saying
the bear was mortally wounded and
could not possibly have squeezed him
to death.

from the same area is twice as large.

THERE is no law that the new Gov
ernor shall qualify in this State, nor
any provision relating to qualific;..
ton by taking an oath or otherwise.
The election by the voters of this
State qualified him. and that is all
there is to it. The haggling about
having an amicable suit to determine
the matter seems nonsensical, for in
such controversies the merits are
usually beclouded by the parties who
want the issues to be decided in a
particular way.

AN effort is to be made to reopen
the boundary question between Ore.
gon and this State regarding the
jurisdiction Of Sand Island at the
mouth of the Columbia. The U.
S. Supreme Court lately decided that
it belonged to Oregon, but the claim
will be urged if q rehearing is had,
that the filling in Of the channel is
rapidly going on and the Washing.
ton water-line is shoaling so rapidly
that in the course of q few years
Sand Island will become an integral
part of this State. 1t will thus be
shown as altogether anomalous that
q part of our own territory separ-
ated by a broad stretch of water
from an adjoining State, should be-
long to it for purposes of taxation,
or for q source of revenue in any
form. 1t is said that the State
Legislature will make this subject
the matter of memorial to the Y. S.
Supreme Court.

THE present administration of
Great Britain proposes a tax on land
values. This is the Henry George
theory, which means if carried out to
its logical conclusion the abolition of
private property in land. The I'M
rest and seditious spirit prevailing in
India, the great unemployed prob
lem at home provoking the Social
istic agitation, and the disSatisfac-
ton with Irish landlordism prompt
the consideration of radical meas
ures for reform throughout the en-
pire. The situation over there is
somewhat different from that which
prevails in this country. The men,
bers of the labor organizations for
the most part and q large cOterie
OF college professors, students and
clergymen drill with the Socialists.
There is no vacant land and no room
for expansion in the borders of the
empire, while in the United States
opportunities are presented to our
statesmen to make conditions for the
laboring and middle classes more
tOlerable.

THE OTgo"ion Says editorially:
1T is doubtful whether in any
country the law was ever reformed
by lawyers. If the Multnomah
county bar succeeds in lettering
the criminal procedure of the State it
will set new precedent in history"
1t goes without saying Oregon and
Washington can endure the "prece-
dent" The STANDARD has arrived
at the conclusion it is not advisable
for the courts to follow precedents
established prior to the restoration
in England, 1860 A. D. Why need
we wonder that these two States are
full of law-breakers and crooks?

Is IT ANOTHER SODOM's Applet
Still another tidbit is held tempting
ly near our peoples eyes that it is
feared may follow the fate of former
promises. The stakes for the Fed
eral building have been almost driven
several times, without positive loca-
ton, and now it is said the govern.
ment is seriously considering the
matter of location of torpedo depot
on Budd's Inlet or at Mud Bay. The
object Of this institution is to ties
the launching of torpedoes. 1t has
nothing to do with aheir explosive ma
ture, but simply in determining the
best method of control for:the terri.

mission of destruction. 1t seems our
bay possesses special adaptabilities
for the service, as regards depth oil
water, character of the bottom,
smoOthncss of the surface, trend OF
the tides and freedom from those OBJ
stacles presented by a crowded com.
merce. The torpedo weighs over a
ton, costs $1,000 and is projected
through the water at a speed OF
about Is miles per hour. 1t would
consequently result in some damage
from mere conclusion with any craft.
A commission of three naval officers
charged with the duty of examina-
ton. spent Sunday with President
Carlyon of the Chamber of Commerce

THE LIBERTY BELL.-The Mayor of
Philadelphia, who seems to be the
most direct custodian of this price
lees memcnto OF the stirring patriot
ism of the past, it seems has given
his consent to an exhibit OF the old
Liberty Bell at the Alaska Yukon
world-fair that opens at Seattle in
June. 1t has for over q century &C.
cupied place of honor in the vesti-
bule at the front entrance OF Indepen-
dence Hall, within q few feet of the
room where the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was signed. This will
doubtless be the most interesting OBJ
ject on exhibition to many people.
The bell, aside from its cracked con-
ditiOn, is as good as ever for its pre-
sent use as relic, although the tim
bers on which it is mounted very
plainly show the devastating touches
of the hand of Time.
