Straining the keg.

Rufe Blevins, giant woodchopper,
whose good nature and ready wit
made him a welcome addition to the
store circle. entered the village gro
Gerry. The loafers moved little closer
together to make room for Rufe on a
soap box. but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty mo-
lasses keg down on the counter and
drew a stained bill from his pocket,
which he held out to the proprietor OF
the store. An expectant grin went
round the circle, for Storekeeper Jones
had the reputation of never wronging
himself by overwhelming or under
charging. The merchant adjusted his
glasses and looked expectantly from
the bill to the woodchopper.

Center Of the Earth.

If shaft were sunk vertically to
the center Of the earth and an object
suspended from spring balance were
lowered down the shaft the weight of
the object, as indicated by the dial of
the balance, would at first increase as
the descending object approached the
deeper and denser strata. After pass
ing a certain depth, however, the
weight would begin to diminish, and
1t would continue to diminish to the
center of the earth, where its value
would be zero, because the object
would there be equally attracted in

THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

st. Louis ost-Dispatch-The British
system of parliamentary government
has long admitted of something very
like what we call referendum. Any
British administration can take an ap-
peal to the country upon question OF
importance by obtaining dissolution
of parliament. The electors then have
the opportunity to pronounce judy
ment upon the matter at issue In the
most direct fashion. The Canadians
have the British system in all it's es.
sential features and Sir Wilfred
Laurier is doing nothing extraordinary
in asking the Canadian voters to ex-
press their opinion Of reciprocity.
Americans who are familiar with the
political history of Canada during the
last half century are we'll aware of
the fact that opposition to reciprocity
was no part of conservative policy dur
ing the long period when Sir John A..
Macdonald so successfully led that
party. His devotion to protective
tariff never carried him to any such
lengths. From 1854 to 1866 there was
a reciprocity agreement between the
Canadian provinces and the United
States and during much of that period
Sir John A. Macdonald was in office
and saw all the benefits to both
countries which resulted from a free
interchange Of products. Sir Wilfred
Laurier is quite right in saying that
ever since the termination of the
treaty Of 1854 all public men of any
prominence in Canada have been unan-
imous in the attempt to again Sc
cure a similar agreement with the
United States.
There can scarcely be doubt that
Sir Wilfred Lauriers government will
carry the Dominion on this issue and
renew the trade policy

There is no immediate danger that
such a wild proposal will pass con-

Mr.. Owen represents new state
which has already 1857, 155 inhabi-

poses is permitted and practiced in
Oregon. Recently a petition was pre-
scented to the Oregon secretary of
state for a recall vote on Judge Coke
for having demonstrated his gross
incompetency by giving to the jury
unfair and erroneous in
structions as to the law"
Is the average citizen OF Oregon
competent to revise Judge Cokes in
depreciation Of the law? If we had the
Owen amendment now, would citizens
dissatisfied with, say, the Standard Oil
decision, read through the huge vol
umes of printed testimony upon which
1t is based, to say nothing of exanin.

cision upon the gross Incompetence
