THE OREGONIAN'S CONSENT.

The OreOgnan of the second Of January has diatrbe
against Allen Eaton because he ventures to be candidate
for speakership against Ben Selling The article is cop
GUS in vituperatiOn, and calls Mr. Eaton an ally and
lackey and beneficiary Of Governor West broker in
favors logroer in legislation solicitor of patronage
But these statements notoriousy and manfesty
untrue applied to Mr. Eaton that they may be treated
and will be treated as only the expression Of i'll temper
But psychologists tell us that can express him
self any length without using some word or phrase that
divulges his inner mind This editorial is an illustration
1t states mo ally ackey or beneficiary of Governor

with the Oregonians consent The word consent ex-
presses Volumes The inner attitude of mind of its editor
is disclosed He thinks in his intimate thoughts that the
Republican legislature should not do anything without his
consent But the legislature will probably have differ

test is demonstration that the state and its people are
not to be governed from the Oegonian tower and it
not true that the Oegonian contends Mr. Eatons con-
test involves any opposition of the country to the true in
erests Of their metropolis What Mr. Eaton stands for
is opposition to the dctation Of the 0egonian and the
handful of special interests which represents The peo

Famous Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an ar.
row through buffalo's body. Re.
markable as this archery was, 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
OF ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland,
were such skilled archers that they
could hit man at the distance of
300 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am.
bassador at London shot an arrow in
field near that capital Ais yards
against the wind. The secretary of
the ambassador on hearing the ex.
pressions of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present, said the sui
tan had shot 500 yards This was the
greatest performance of modern days,
but a pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots ranging
up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie
British ambassador to the Sublime
Porte, recorded that in 1898 he was
present when the sultan shot an arrow
972 yards.-Washington Star.
