ney B. F. Mulkey ask Judge Calkins
to dismiss both indictments against
him. Judge Calkins, after asking the
district attorney some sharp ques-
tions regarding the case, dismissed
the indictments.
Kollock was evidently much re-
lieved mentally when the cases
against him were dismissed.
In moving for the dismissal of the
indictment against John X. Kollock
Mr.. Mulkey stated thst the records
of the Rogue River Townsite COM

Of March, 1911, the day the lots were
sold under the allotment plan.

concerned" said Mulkey to the
court, "Mr. Kollock could have had
no connection with the lottery

There was no evidence before the
grand jury to show any sales prior
to March 4, 1911. The verbal testi-
mony In the grand jury room con-
nected Mr.. Kollock with the transac-
tion as the duly qualified and acting
secretary of the corporation at the
time OF the alleged sales then being

would not have been returned, so fal

that testimony before me and bein'
fully advised, move that the indict

Kollock.
"The same state of facts exists a

what is to be done about it? 1t is too
late to squeeze the genie back into the
bottle. The time for that was while
learning was still the monopoly of a
privileged class and 1t was deemed an
indecent presumption for a common
man to want to know how to read and
write.
Since the mischief is done, the only
remedy remaining is the homeopathic
principle-similia similibus curantur.
The trouble seems to be that the disaf-
fected workers are reading good books;
the logical antidote, If "similibus" may
be stretched a little. is to supply them
with bad books. If Carlyle and Ruskin
are too strong meat let them have Car
lylese and Ruskfnese in suitable dilu-
ton. If Plato and Aristotle. which Gill

ask for in Greek, are too disturbing

The Psychology Of Italics.

From the Christian Herald.
Doctors Of style in the writing Of Eng
lish declare that the use Of italics for
emphasis is a positive fault. showing
weakness Of construction and inability
to express ideas strongly by q right ar
rangement Of words. Nevertheless. italics
are used deliberately by some forceful
writer's to gain added effect and to fasten
the eye and the mind Of the reader upon
important points somewhat as q speaker
will strengthen his grafton by vocal en-
phasis and gesture. Whatever may bc
said for or against the use Of italics. they
certainly reveal the writer's sense OF rela-
tive Importance in The things he has writ
ten. He has selected certain words and
phrases, and has given them special
prominence. AS we note their signifi-
canoe we begin to know more OF the man
behind the words. His choice of emphasis
tells us what manner Of man he Is. His
italics are an index of his mental or moral
character.
We are all writing history day by day
On every page some things are written
small, others stand out boldly in italics.
Take up the book at night and read the
story Of the day. II will be an interesting
q startling one. Doubt
less we shall feel very much like correct
ing the proof when we find where the
italics are set.

Great Britain's Debt.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
That all Englishmen do not believe that
a national debt is a national blessing Is
evidenced by the pleasurable sensation
created by Lloyd Georges announcement
that he will devote $25. 100000 out Of the
$32, 500. 900 surplus to the reduction OF the
funded obligations of the government.
The sum Of $25, 900 will not go far, for
the funded debt Of Great Britain. exclu-
sive Of the capital Of ternlinable an
nuities. very nearly approximates s.. S.1OO.-
600, ,OOO Still every little counts, especially
politically, and Lloyd George. having
been stigmatized as a great builder OF
national liabilities gets a certain amount
Of political advantage when he is able
to pay off a fraction of l per cent OF the
outstanding obligations. He and his will
make the most Of 1t. and after the first
spasm OF popular appreciation has passed
the conservatives will point with pride
debt.
The conservatives can make out a
pretty good case for themselves, too. for
just previous to the South African war
they had got the gross liabilities Of the
United Kingdom. including the bonds
down to f635 OOO, ,OOO or about &c. 175OOO. COO
which is almost E1OO, 600 GEO less than the
total Of the same account today. In fact.
all the great British parties for more
than forty years set themselves to the
task of reducing the gross debt. which
in 1857 was nearly ST. 200. 900 900. and in
1899 was 81. .OOO, ,OOO. 900 smaller Ever since
the last mentioned year Great Britain
has been struggling with the conse-
uuences Of the South African war. This
struggle has strained the patience of
fnanciers. but not the resources of the
United Kingdom. These are SO great
that the national public debt, reckoning
all the capital liabilities under that head,
large as 1t is, Is not troublesome In the
sense that the coming Of day OF reckon
ing shadows the counsels OF statement.
Nevertheless, all British politicians desire
to make as good showing as possible
In the eyes Of the British taxpayers.

Irish Players in London.
From the London News.


]. M. Synge's '"The Playboy Of the
Western World has aroused much oppo-
sition. especially in America, but the Alb
bey Theater Company did well to revive
1t last night for Its opening perform
ance at the Court Theater. For 1.-THE
Playboy Of the Western World is a
comedy Of genius. It is sinister comedy,
II you will. but none the less comedy.
II only Synge had kept his last act on
the fantastic satirical level Of the rest of
the play there never would have been
any Misunderstanding Of this brilliant
comedy. 1t Is on the same level In its
trend or spirit. but there is no doubt
1t is a very different thing to see a son
doing violence on his father from merely
hearing him boast Of q murder which
Is not a murder at all. In spite of the
inspiration which makes Christopher
Mahon leave the Mayo public house as
the absolute master of his old tyrant OF
father. this last act does leave sinister
impression on the mind. 1t Is too realistic.
and, considering the subject, to be real
istic Is to be unreal.
Most of the Dublin players whom we
admire in London are still in the COM
ever; or, at any rate she has not played
before in London In 1.-THE Playboy OF the
Western World" Her impersonation of
the strong-willed Pegeen is wonderfully
consistent and real. Fred O'Donovan's
talent has developed, and his Christopher
is not restless as 1t once was; and is
much more effective. Mr. Kerrigan's s
Shawn Keogh and Miss Sara Allgood's 8
