EVEN WRITING EDITORIALS.

The Dumas case not only has jam
med the news columns of the papers
from one end of the country to the
other, but editors have found mater
ial upon which to base arguments,
such for instance as the following
from the: Chicago Herald:
IF the charges against the mayor
of Minnesota city who has been
arrested charged with having been
a highly respected citizen and ply
sician by day and the leader of q
band of criminals by night, shall be
proven, there will once more be ex-
emplfied that strange duality in
mans nature which has been the
theme of SO many fiction writer's and
the cause. of so much philosophic and
religious speculation.
ITO those Realistically inclined
there is hte height of tragedy in
the spectacle of man of education
and leadership among his fellowmen
struggling against the fatal tendency
to do evil. The religious moralizer,
of course sees in such a spectacle
the struggle of the divine and the
diabolic for the mastery of man, with
evil predominating over good only

Mackenzie Gets a Boost.

w. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji
spent few hours in Roseau Satur-
day. Mr.. Mackenzie is secretary of
the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association. He possesses the
gift of organizing and stimulating
others to action. BY his untiring ef-
forts Northern Minnesota is coming
into her own and when his practical
plans, embracing essentially the
public domain roads, drainage and
immigration, begin to be realized, a
Jew order of things will be wit
messed in this section of the state.
Unassuming in manners and modest
in speech, Mackenzie co-operates
with enterprising men in every
county WHO interest themselves in
promoting the public good and he
has been successful in enlisting sup
port for measures advocated by him
and there is no doubt but his efforts
will result in much -Roseau

because OF weakness OF Will. FracLl-
cal minded students of human nature
deduce from a Jekyl-Hyde revelation
the need of restraint for even the
wisest and most notwithstanding Of
us. The evolutionists discover traits
of reversion, shaking of of all the
moral letters that the race has put
upon itself in it's slow progress away
from the jungle conditions. How
ever one looks at such occurrences,
the spirit of wonder is aroused.
''The Minnesota mayor, of course,
may be the victim of conspiracy, as
he asserts. If he has been falsely or
stupidity accused the case may prove
as dramatic as it now appears in the
story told by the detectives.

IF there is really an arson trust
! in northern Minnesota, and if the
insurance Commissioners and adj
justers are right about the enormous
proportion of fire losses due to pre-
meditated or constructive arson, then
the worthy doctor and mayor is set
ting an example to the whole coun-
try comparable to Morgan's and
Rockefeller's.
"They say that more than 80 per
cent of fire losses are caused by the
deliberate acts or inexcusable care
lessness of owners of the property,
and could be prevented by the strict
laws and enforcement that make
fire losses in Europe only 'one-fifth
of ours. AS the total mounts to

of the country. =.

THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT SITUATION

One of the most expensive bills the people of Oregon the
multiplication of judicial districts
The districts divided up that people cannot easily
take the referendum bill orase judicial salaries or create
a district
1t would take recall of the whole state to kill one of
these propositions,
There bills before the legislature to create new districts
and raise salaries of judges and district attorneys
The district attorney of Washngon Clatsop- Columbia gets
$25O0 and his principal deputy at Astoria gets 5000
year. when he should have $1,000
The district attorney at Rosebrg gets $4,000 year. and out
OF 1t pays a deputy for Coos and Curry $500
Under the county attorney bill the county attorney would get
$500, the man in Coos $1,000 and in Curry $500
The people of each county would have the service of their
county attorney and be at no expense for travelling
The district attorney for the Josephine district to have
$2500 year,
Under the county attorney act he would get $500 year
which is plenty
The bill to make judicial district out of Josephine cou
y would make places for two Democrats at cost of $500
year to the taxpayers.
This is bill to build up the Democratic machine in Oregon
at public expense which just reprehensbe as the Repub
machine.
The people would applaud the appearance of man once in
while who proposed to abolish Offices
The county attorney bill would be more lust as to salaries
than the present system and ought cost great deal less
But whatever done the taxpayers are in no mood to nut nm
with any new judicial districts, any additional Judges

ands of lives to pull 1t down ana put

Then again, we owe much more
than this to the old Hollander
Did you ever stop to think that
Astor was a sort of relation of all
native Oregonians?
Did you, and do you realize that
he is a sort of yicarious grand-dad
for all born in the vast territory won
by him?
The horse editor does not know
how many native sons there are in
this legislature, but there are many,
When the horse editor sees the
Ajax like form of Senator Sinnott, he
wonders where that splendid speci-
man of the Native Webfoot would be
if the old Dutch Hollander had not
beaten the British to Oregon.
He wouldn't have been here be-
cause his parents would not have
been here and he might have been
some one else. He might even have
been a girl Anyway he wouldn't
have been in the oregon legislature
because there would not have been
any.
And there's Sen. Fouts. Would
his dulCet voice have been hear dor
his sarcastic tongue have wagged
within the legislative halls where it
now wags to SO much purpose?

capital "W' on the wot.

Pat had been lost in the shuttle!
