The real reason for this change,
however, may be undoubtedly found in
the marked superiority of the Chinese
in mental equipment and in capacity
for administration. Practically all the
high Chinese officials rise through a
long course of promotions from the
junior ranks, and most of the Manchus
have foun1 themselves outstripped
early in the race by the Chinese.
The recent widespread movement for
the cutting off of the queue or pigtail
appears to be a part of the native cru
SADIE against Mt.nchu domination The
wearing of the queue is one of the few
really distinctive Manchu customs
which the conqueror enforced upon
the Chinese people.-NeW York Press.

"a man can make 1000, 600. and
make it honestly, if he has courage and
aptitude SO declared Leslie M
shaw, former secretary of the treas
ury, addressing the annual convention
of the National Convention OF Life IN
derwriters, now in session in this city
Mr.. Shaw added that at one time he
saw an opportunity to make $1,000
600. but failed because OF the lack OF
qualities he described.
Those who try to make $1,000, OOO
dishonesty and fail think that NOBODY
can make it honestly he said. There
are those, you know, who nave sald
that it is impossible to do such thing
honestly.
.tAs far as I have seen in my time,
no man has served his country faith
fully without receiving adequate re-
ward and that reward is usually
money. Once in a while there is a
monumen t, but not often.
Regarding the necessity of applica-
ton to ones business Mr.. Shaw said:
mark Hanna once told me that he
had occasion to call on Phil Armour
He did not say what was the purpose
Of his call but it was in 1896. He de-
clared that he found it necessary to
make an appointment with Mr.. Ar
mour through his stenographer When
he called, he found Phil Armour sit
ting in chair and being shaved, eat
ing his lunch, and debating to his
stenographer.
1T may not be necessary for you to
work as hard as that, but that is the
price that Phil Armour paid to have
his name written in high places in
every nation on the globe, and you can
be sure that there are no bargain coun-
tiers for such goods"
Baseball is absorbing more interest
among the boys of the country than is
business, said Mr.. Shaw in concluding
his speech.-Chicago dispatch to New
York Times.

Perhaps the boil weevil is a blessing
in disguise. The south has been too
prone to put all its eggs in the one
basket of cotton. The boil weevil has
led to a diversification of industry and
to the raising OF more profitable crops.
At the Chicago Land show Louisiana
Will present evidence that cotton grow
ers who have gone into other crops are
making 81 where they made only 81
from cotton. They are raising big crops
of corn. potatoes and onions. and they
are going in for stock raising and
dairying. The boil weevil has done ter
rible destruction in Louisiana. IL has
reduced the cotton crop from 100000
bales in five years to 100000 bales last
year. But the farmers are making
more money than ever.-Philadelphia

defends the Common Law.

Sir Frederick Pollock, in his sixth
lecture at Columbia University, entered
a vigorous protest against the asser-
ton that the common law has not been
a success when compared to other sys-
TENS of law. He said that the most
ancient system of law had overcome all
obstacles in England, later forming al
1iances, and still later starting out on a
conquest of assimilation in the colonies
and also leaving a deep imprint upon
the legal systems of this country. The
lecture was entitled Alliance and Con-
quest and the speaker said, in part:
1.-The common law, like the English
language, contains a great deal of mix
ed and composite material, but has an
individual structure and q character
which are all its own, and, also like the
English language, has on the whole
had the best of it in competition with
rivals There is no case, I believe, of
the common law having lost ground in
the presence of another system. while
there are certainly many cases where
# has gained, and the question is
forced on an inquiring mind, to use the
words of a recent ingenious writer,
ITO what is due the superiority of the
Anglo Saxons?'
1--WE can surely not be content to say
that it is due to the intrinsic virtues of
our race or altogether to the superior
Justice or convenience of our rules.
The fact remains that the common law
shows assinilative power, which, to all
appearance, grows by what it feeds on.
Therefore, it must have started, even
in its rude infancy, with some definite
advantage. The suggestion am about
to put forward does not purport to
give complete explanation, but hope
# is sound as far as it goes.
There seems to be no doubt that
English criminal jurisprudence has an
attractiveness which goes beyond the
merits of its particular rules, and can
not be explained by purely judicial
reasons Questions as to the rights of
the citizens and the powers and duties
of the magistrates may arise in almost
any kind of contentious, proceedings,
and, in fact, are not infrequent in civil
jurisdiction. But in criminal matters
they are often the only or the principal
material issues; they involve graver
consequences and are presented with
more dramatic emphasis Our fathers
1abored and strove chiefly to work out
their ideals of public law and liberty
which are embodied in the bill of
rights and are familiar to American
citizens in the constitutions of the
United States and their several Com
monwealths. New York Tribune.

the grant of the suffrage. At the same
time there has been a slowly growing
access of white decentralization and OF
white antipathy. The late lynching and
the failure of suitable punishment for
confessedly guilty members of the mob
are frightful and shameful proofs of
public sentiment that found first eX-

mental work for the general better
ment of orcharding conditions and for
the prevention of diseases and pests
The movement, which was instigated
by members and officers of the Fellow
ship Association. is a wise one. Hood
Rivers success during past years and
its ultimate success will be based on
the excellency Of its apple crop. The
betterment of conditions and the in
creased production of the orchards is
of direct benefit to every citizen of the
valley. Every endeavor should be
made to ward off any possible attacks
of disease and pest. Indeed. II some
diseases were allowed to get foothold,
the result would be serious, almost
calamity. The benefit of such work
has been exemplified during the past
year in the work of Prof. W. II.
Lawrence, who, engaged by the Eel
lowahip Association, has eradeated
the dreaded fire blight.
1t may be said Why not let the
Fellowship Association continue the
work. This organization is to be
praised for the efficient work that has
been accomplished through it's cooper
ative endeavors and those of its expert,
Mr.. Lawrence. However, acting as a
private body of individuals, the work
OF It's officers in collecting assessments
and conducting the work of the associ-
alton was difficult task. An equit-
able distribution of the costs of the
experiments were made almost impos-
sible. Ry the levy of a tax the assess
ments will be evenly laid upon all.
And the tax will be a light one. 1t is
asserted that an assessment of three
oights of mill will take care of all
the expenses of thorough expert.

BURDENS OF OVER CAPITALIZATION.

No doubt the management Of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. can show by
a manipulation of figures that the
rates they are at present charging the
consumers of electrical energy in
Hood River is no more than fair re
turn on their local investment. But
should the people of Hood River be
made to bear the burden Of an over
capitalization? Should the price Of an
error of Eastern investors be borne BY
you and me, who consume the light
and power? In effect that is what is
being done. when the present rates Of
the Pacific Power & Light Co. are paid
at the end of each month.
Those monthly bills seem to all of Us
to assume large proportions, when we
consider the cheapness with which
electrical energy may be developed
here in this Northwest country with
its magnificent water power sites. In
deed, where power is developed by
means of expensive fuels the service is
cheaper by far than the local rate.
The sage reflections of our worthy
contemporary, the News, and their
wise premises are cOuched in excellent
terms. However, if the community
were to follow their deductions it
would be decidedly unfair to itself for
the Hydro Electric Co. has no over
capitalization of stock. On business
basis It's charges will be commensurate
with the small expenditure made in the
construction Of plant, the service OF
which will in every way equal that Of
the big company. The News advises
at is up to the people to look on this
struggle for supremacy in the local
electrical field as a simple business
proposition. Indeed they will, but
they do not and will not feel that it is
good business to pay heavy rates for
lights and power, even though it is
good business for the Pacific Power &
Light Co. to maintain such rates in
order to secure reasonable return on
its Investment.

TIE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

As Christmas day approaches it is
good to note the Christmas spirit in
the Hood River atmosphere. During
the past week the streets have been

happy, gay. smiling and greeting each

spirit of prosperity permeates the at.
mosphere and the reindeers of old
Santa Claus will be loaded with gifts.

main streets and note the window dis
plays, the laces, clothing and toys fof

and confections of the grocers win
dows; and the picture books for young
