It appears from a statement just issued by the Department of Commerce and’Labor that in practically every country aside from China and India the per capita expenditure is greater than in the United States. New Zealand heads the list with a per capita of $38.38, Australia comes next with $37.69 and the United Kingdom with a per capita of $21.39. It is significant that in those countries in which the people do most things for themselves the report shows the highest per capita of expenditure. There is nothing appalling in these statistics because in those countries many public utilities are sup plied by the government. In this country and others with a low per capita of public expenditure these services are largely performed by private corporations at an even greater expenditure to the people. > Pv PRPeeeeyy DARK VIEWS OF SOCIETY RATHER dismal view of society, as expressed in his A lecture before the Purity Club in New York, is taken by Henry Hopkins, president of Williams College, a man whose conservative judgment and opinions are often quoted by many of the leading newspapers of the Eastern States. al He thinks that most of the current influences that now confront the young are debasing and that the foundations of personal character in our national life are being seriously threatened. He furthermore sees a growing infidelity to financial trusts and consequently a visible loss of confidence of man in his fellowman. Defalcations continue and multipiy in disheartening succession. But more disheartening and startling than all, he declares, “‘is the lawless spirit in towns and cities, where have grown up crowds of hoodlums, of which there is an increas— ing population, who break out into reckless violence at times of strikes and lockouts. Of the same nature are the worse than brutal exhibitions in defiance of all authority and decency in the lynching and hideous burnings that dishonor human nature itself.” As for lynching, there is one feature to be noted in the late affair at Springfield. The lawlessness had three natural stages. It began with the lynching of the negro. Next day its scope was widened and the enraged element was willing to burn out all the negroes. In the last stage of the proceed ings we see the white boys in the public schools suggesting the lynching of the black boys. It will be readily seen that it will not do to condone lynching, whatever may have been the provocations of certain localities. Like a brush fire in summer, it easily spreads until its original environments are*obliterated and the whole social structure is ablaze with revolution. a Lots of Gold.

ALBANY, Ore., May 2d.—Frank Hart and -his wife, Mollie, of Holy Roller fame, were taken to the,State Insane Asylam by Sheriff Worth Huston yesterday. The demented creatures held fast to their fanatical religious views to the last, although given an opportanity to save themselves from a term in the asylum. When Sheriff Huston opened the county jail to serve his prisoners with breakfast, he found that Hart had burued his shoes and bat daring the night. When aeked why ha did this Hart said he had re ceived a message from the Lord commanding him to destroy those luxarious medern worldly articles and go to bis punishment over a rock road, a did the Apostles of old. : Healy Arrested. TT Although Much Delayed, Is Being Rushed Since the Weather Settled. The past two days have been ideal spring days and have not only been greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all, but many of our people are taking advantage of the good weather to get their flower and vegetable gardens started. Gurdens are all backward fo the mountain sections of the State this year, owing to the long and cold period of wintry weather prevailing in March and April. However if the present fine weather continues— and everybody hopes it will—a few weeks will work a marvelous transformation in the appearance and conditien of gardens, and by Decoration Day the front yards around town w:ll be veritable bowers of floral beeuty and fragrance, And there is no other time when flowers are more beautifal to the eye or more appreciated by our people than on the 80th of May. . Although Weather Prophet Gicks has several storms predicted for May, — today, it is not likely that they will prove long or severe, but are more apt to be local storms or showers which will soon pass away. Ino fact, late Spring showers always prove a blessing to California crops and our people ccald not very well do without them. A Bare Treat.

McCarty and a hop picker named Mize came along with a jug of wine and gave the Indians a drink. After getting a taste of the wine the Indians determined to have the rest of the contents of the jug. Tehy dragged the white men from a cart and gave them a terrible beating, and MoUarty was shot to death. Lawrence and Padillo were tried and convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
