to discourage all Intrigue and pull.
Advertisements are barred; to this
rule there are to be no exceptions
under any disguise.
Oregon Is our most advanced so
ciological laboratory." Even Kan-
las hai to borrow from It. It li
not unlikely that the voters will ap
prove the bill In question and make
the itate the publisher of a "live"
journel of the higher political ana
social thought. But why not charge
a reasonable price? Papers given
away are not valued anywhere, ana
human nature Is still human pature
even In radical Oregon.
MODERN MARTYRS.
The heroic spirit of the old-time
martyrs Is not dead, and ao there
li no reason why our faith in the
human race should be shaken. There
are many men still on earth who
will underao any amount of suffer
ing for the sake of principle, aayi
the Emporia Oazette.
A Llndsborg lawyer (refused to
anawer certain conundrums pro
pounded by the probate court, and
waa aent to Jail. He announced In
ringing tones that he would rot In
jail before he'd answer these ques
tion. Ha remained in bis dungeon
for many months, and seemed to
think be was doing a public service.
It Is not known whether he rotted
to any extent; neither Is It known In
this office whether he gained his free
dom by answering the questions, but
he Is now at large, and Is bringing
suits for damages against aundry
newspapers which referred to his
martyrdom with Ill-timed levity. It
Is expected the publishers of those
papers, In case they are convinced
will express a willingness to rot In
jail rather than pay up. When It
comes to rotting In jail, regardless
of expense, newspaper editors and
publishers are singularly capable.

rested for drinking a large quan ity

TREY FORGET THE OTHER HIDE.
Some laboring men were discussing
the high cost of living, and one of
them was heard to remark:
"Bar do too know what I waa
doing when Cleveland ws president!
I Wss sandwich man tramping the
streets carrying advertising signs, and
mlghiy glad to get the Job at that.
Prices were low enouah. but the worst
of It was to eara enough to keep me
and the old lady alive. Now I'm

to go ragged and hungry. Maybe

A HINT TO THE DEMOCRATS.
a .tndr of oolltlcal conditlona In
the West and Northwest has revealed
to Willis i. Abbot phase of the alt
n.tlon that may well tend to turn
Democratic optimism Into deep con
cern.' ' . . :
He finds that the Democratic vot
ers, In large number, long ago, losing
heart, have gone over now to tM in
surgent or progressive Republicans.
"Victor Murdock Is a good enough
Democrat for me," Is the way one of
this number expressed It In Kansas
La Follette was a good enough
Democrat for the minority party to
keen out of the primary In Wiscon
sin and thus make his way clear to
renomlnatlon,
"inklna backward briefly," says
Washington Herald, commenting on
the discoveries of Mr. Abbot, it l
ea.r now to see that the victories of
Foss In Massachusetts, and Havens,
In New York, at special congressional
alertlnna were nonpartisan, rather
than Democratic. Each had as his
opponent a atandpat Republican. In
the lla-ht of developments, who Knows
but that a progressive Republican
candidate of tested convictions ana
Aamnn.trated courage woulB. bare
appealed to the awakened electorate
in each case even more strongiyr
"If the country, speaking of It
generally. Is turning toward the
nemocracr In these abnormal politi
cal times and the results In Maine,
Vermont and New Hampshire leave
no doubt of tha tendency It Is
herauae there Is no alternative med
ium for rebuke of the party In pow
er.
In the few states and scattered
districts west and northwest, where
an alternative is offered, the condi
tions are anything but promising 10
i nemocracr. or conducive to its
success, as Mr. Abbot, himself a Dem
ocrat and an optimist, Is clearly
pointing out In his news letter from
insurgent quarters.
"A split In the Republican party
the very woret ipllt In Its history
doubtless will change the partisan
complexion of the next house. But
It will mean rebuke of Republican
ism, not a reward of the Democracy
for any achievement, And It la go-fno-
tn renulre statesmanship, brains,
conservative progresslveness, and
real constructive ability on the part
of the Democracy to rehabilitate It-'
self and gain any lasting benefit from
the forthcoming upheaval. ,;
"Partisan maneuvering will not do
It."
THE FIT PUNISHMENT.
Charlie Finch, of trie Lawience
Gaiotte, has more sensible Ideas
than any ntwiotper man In Jianea,
und he has the courage to express
his opinions, whether they art- popu
lai or n !. Too following from Mi.
Finch's paper touches upon a problem
that boba ur every now ana then in
all towns: t
"The wife-beating proposition
presents loma itrange features. The
Gazette takas It for granted that no
man sympathizes with a wife-beater,
or has any use on earth for such a
brute. And yet When the Ga
zette exposed . a Lawrence wlfe
beater the other day, it was con
fronted with these' objections to- his
punishment: First, If -he should be
fined, the money to pay the fine
must, of necessity, come from the
fund that should go to the support
of his wife and children. Second. If
he lost his Job, the means of llve'l-
hood would be taken away from the
family, and unless the brute pro
cured another Job where he was
not known, the destitute family
would be thrown upon the charities
of the public. Third, If he should
be Imprisoned, then his salary would
stop, and the wife and children be
deprived of tbeir means of support
because while in Jail be could earn
no money for their aupport. So,
there you are. If you Inflict any
punishment that the law permits at
the present time you Inflict It upon
the abused wife and family, and do
not hurt the wife-beater In the least,
for a police court record, a term In
jail or anythlpg that can be done to
a man of that kind will not hurt
him in the least. A man who will
beat hie wife cannot be lower In the
estimation of his fellowmen, no
matter what be does. 80, we aay,
there la just one punishment that fits
the crime, and that Is the -Issh.
Every man who beats his wife
should be tied hand and foot and
given ten lashes for every blow he
struck his wife. Tnea he would be
the one to suffer for his crime,
while every penalty the . law pre
scribe now Is given to the victim
of the fellow's brutality and not to
him."
The Increased cost of living la laid
at the Republican door by the Demo
cratic papers aad speakers In the
campaign now on. But this laaue
cuts both ways. Tha Kaasaa farmers
are getting higher prices for every
thing they raise to sell these piping
days of prosperity. A calamity bowl
canaot gather much moss In these
prosperous times.
SAME OLD MORAL.
Here Is wbat the New York "Jour
nal, a newspaper with ao large a Cir
culation, that It Is printed on nine
presses, calls a good story.
A man lost a pocketbook contain
ing $4,000 In cash. He lost it
among those' supposed to be his
friends. There were no outsiders
there) no disreputable characters.
What was he to dof Bofoio you
hear what HE did, answer thia:
What would YOU do In buco a caaet
You could do many things. Adver
tise a reward, go to the pollc, hire
private detectives, go to each of those
that were in the room when the mon
ey waa lost, and make a persona) ap
peal, trusting that the man with the
money would give It back; you could
trr anr number of plans, us; all your
powers of appeal and Imagination.
What do YOU think would be tne
best ' way to get back the money T
The man In the story DIO NOTHING
AT ALL, AND HE GOT HIS MONEY.
He said not a word to any one auout
his loss. He did not tell uls partner,
he did" not even tell bis wife. He le
no word slip that would even cause
a suspicion In anyone's mind that
the money was gone. He was, con
sequently, absolutely sure that only
TWO human beings knew anytmng
about the lost money himself and
the supposed friend by whom the
lost pocketbook had bew dishonest
ly kept. Patiently the man kept el
lent, and waited. He waited a week,
then a month, then six mjntlu, and
at last, after a year bad gone by, one
of those that had been wltii him
when the money was lost, said to hlin
oaaniiw: "Br the way, did you
ever find who got that pocketbook,
you lost? "Yes, answered the losor
"I found out this minute. You got
the money, and you're going to give
it hek' to me." The other taken
by surprise, frightened by the cer
tainty with which the man accusea
him, made aome lame excuse about
"meaning to give him a fright that
would teach him to be careful," and
returned the money. ,
Same old moral. Keep your
mouth shut. Atchison Globe.

WHY NOT RAISE MORE COI.N?
The farmers' bulletin issued by
the U. S. department of agriculture
under this date deals with the sub
ject of seed corn. Coming as It ooes
Just on the eve of the corn harvest
it Is worthy of serious attention by
agriculturists. .
The bulletin closes with the fol
lowing summary: '
"If vou have ever found yourseit
compelled to plant corn that was not
fit for seed, do not be f.ug.it mat
war aealn. It la too discouraging
to begin the season with poor pros-
noeta of a aood crop. Get your seeu
at ripening time when the bust qual
ity i moat plentiful. Get au abuna-
ance, enough for plxattng again what
the high water may dostroy and a
supply for some farmer who may
move Into your community or for a
nelahbor who could not select nis
seed corn at the proper time.
"Save seed only from tne niosi
n.fit.hia individuals with the same
I care you use In propagating your
animals.
"Care for each living kernel from
the time It ripens until It Is planted
In a manner that will enable it to de
velope into a thrifty plant and pro
line, one or more large ears. 1 Dot 1
expect-germination tests made In the
spring to restore vigor tnai proper
gathering, drying and storing would
have retained.
Shell your seed carefully by
hand."
, The average production of corn to
the acre for the entire United States
la but 26 bushels and It la believed
h. th. exoerte that this average can
be greatly Increased by paying more
attention to the selection 01 seen.

PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME. .
Thina-eon. starvation, silence, the
solitary cell, darkness and, corporal
punishment have been largely dis
credited in American reformatories.
according to the report of the com
mittee on refdrmatory work and pa
role made to the American Prison
association.
This is encouraging. It has taken
a long time to break away from the
eiiBtnma established by our remote
ancestors, but fortunately the world
does not' stand still or move back
wards. We of this generation will not live
to see It. out the time wlil come when
the people of the United States will
be sufficiently Christianized to ao
away with every form of punishment
as such, says the State Journal.
