V iVLL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH EDITORIAL Labor organizations won out in the defeat of the Abbott op tional accident commission bill. A3 a similar proposition was submitted to the popular vote and defeated, there was really no reason why any representatives should have voted for it. The Capital Journal is an employer of labor, and there is some risk of accidents, but is willing: to try out the present employers' liabil ity law. If it is not a fair law we will holler with the rest of the plutocrats and capitalists next time to have it changed. But we desire to be shown. It was refreshing to hear leaders in the legislature voice pro gressive Republicanism. It is a crime we have often been ac cused of, and when even staid old Iowa adopts the Statement No. One plan of electing senators it is time for some of the conserva tives to admit that the world does move, and that even the Re publican party responds to the progressive spirit. The Repub lican party has always been the party of progress, and it is rc f rearing our souls to have President Taft make the fight for reci procity with Canada. The Salem high school board last night made it a matter of record that it would enlarge the" present high school, and took another step in advance by asking for competitive plans by the architects. That will result in getting the best thought of the architects, and that is really whut we should have on every public building. The best ideas of several architects will bring out im provement in the construction of public buildings, and several heads are better than one, even in that profession. By all means, the board of education should give the boys and girls a gymna sium. At present the only gyim are the Y. M. C. A. and Willamette. E. L.Mill.s, a Portland real estate man, was guilty of tradinr; hats with the editor the other day, and for nearly a week walked around with a large-sized washtub derby crowding down over his ears. He has now returned it and feels better not to have that awful halo of responsibility su-mounting his top piece and filling his brain with ambitious dreams of occupying the governor's chair. Wearing his hat made us feel like a rail estate shark. 0 ' Mr. Mills is one of the Portland Civic Council that has interest ed itself in public school reform, and House Bill 356, by Mr. Riy ant, embodies some progressive ideas.

The city superintendent is named for six years, and there is created the office of school property commissioner, who handles the school property of the district as the city superintendent of schools handles the scho-!.-. lie hires janitors, buys supplier, inake contracts, subject to the ratification of the board ot education, and, with the clerk, o iieves the board of its multifarious petty duties, that make rhe job so irksome to a first-cla. business or professional man in a large city. He also sees tc ic that the books are accounted once a year, and the funds of the school district, not in use, are loaned to the banks that will pay the best rate of interest. Looks like a good bill. 0 The annual statement of the Bankers Reserve Life Company of Nebraska, and the Scottish Union and National Insurance Com pany of Scotland, have been published in this paper. These com panies are not seeking to avoid publicity, but publish their state ments in regular newspapers of general circulation.

Canadian Will Indorse Reciprocity. tl'NITKU 1'KKHH I.UHKD WlltR Ottawa, Ont.. Feb. 15. Those who witnessed the demonstration in parliament last night when the an nouncement was made by Mr. Neeley that the house of representatives at Washington had adopted the reci procity agreement, agreed today that parliament probably would follow with the same action. Neeley was speaking for reciprocity when a nwapnier man informed htm of the action of the American con gress. Thundering applause grett- ed the announcement, and among those who Joined In the demonstra. lion were Sir W'lllfred Laurie, the pre niUvr, Mr. Flold:ng and Mr- ratter- son, cabinet members.

From personal knowledge I wish to state that thta family In question has been helped repeatedly by our society during the last two years, and is. of the class of poor that U always with us. As to the boy being unable to secure labor, our experience with him has been that he finds life stren uous enough in his efforts to avoid anything that looks like labor. All of thts can be verified by the county Judge The boy is 1 5 years old, and strong enough to support the fam ily, and there Is also a smaller boy who could do chores. At thlB time we have a case under surveilance where a boy of 16 Is supporting a family of six. Mrs. Lundeen makes a profession of hogging, and no doubt went home happy in knowing that she had found a soft spot in Colonel Hofer's heart. President of the La dies' Relief Society. CONVICTION IS STILL A LONG WAYS OFF SO LONG AS ONLY I'lNKERTOX DETECTIVES AMI EVIDENCE FURNISHER HV THEM IS PRO DICED. X) ONE BELIEVE IN GUILT. rNITKIt I'HKSH l.KA.smi WIUK. Seattle, Wash., Feb. l.". When the grand jury that is to Investigate the charges of corruption and graft in the Seattle police department under Chief Charles W. Wappenstein meets Friday, certain members of the city council will b called to "tell it all." Just what Is meant by this phrase, neither Prosecuting Attorney John F. Murphy, or Detective Burns, who has accumulated the evidence, will say. But the statement was coupled with the declaration of Detective Burns that he has more than 80 confessions made by men and women employed In the big vice syndicate deals. Allan F. Plnkerton of the detective agency hearing his name, arrived in Seattle lust night, but refused to make any statement. It Is regarded as sig nificant, however, that AVappensteln, the ex-chief of police now accused, was for years a Plnkerton operative. o DIAMOND THIEF MAKES HOOD HIS GET-AWAY ICXITKU I'RKRS I.RASKO 1VIRK Portland, Ore., Feb. 15. Having only a vague description of the rob ber and the jewels he got and with out clews, detectives today admitted that there Is small chance nf rnnhir- tng the man who yesterday afternoon walked into the Diamond Palace jew elry store on Washington street, slugged James Gilbert, the clerk, looted the safe of several hundred dollars In cash and over $3,000 worth of diamonds Bnd escaped while hun dreds of persons passed the store. The police of all Pacific coast cities have been notified to be on the look uot for the robber, as it is believed he left town some time yesterday. The Plnkertons began working on the case today. 0 LOST HIS SUIT BUT REGAINED HIS HEALTH I.08 Angeles, Cal., Feb. 15.

MAY BLEACH THEIR FLOUR OR HAIR Branding Senator Kellahar's bill, which had for Its object the preven tion of the sale of bleached flour, as a movement on the part of the flour ing mills of Portland to monopolize the flouring mill industry, and to in jure the farmers In Eastern. Oregon and Southern Oregon, the senators of those two sections as a unit yester day afternoon opposed its passage and by combining' their :rength with delegation ot other counties, defeated It by a vote of 23 to 7. Senator Kellahar and other advo cates of the measure contended that Its provisions were in harmony with the federal pure food law and that In the interests of a better food pro duct it should be passed. Senator Bowerman lead the opposition and he was ably seconded by Senators Nor ton, Carson and Nottingham, who contended that the electrical bleach ing process did not injure the flour, and that should the measure pass. It would greatly injure the farming and flouring mill Industries of Eastern and Southern Oregon. 0 RECIPROCITY PASSES HOUSE SENATE FIGHTS IT ffVlTKn 1'IIKSS I.KASKU WlnE.l Washington, Feb. 15. The recip rocity agreement with Canada, which passed the house last night, is likely to meet trouble In the senate. In the upper house many Democrats and progressive Republicans, among them Senator Cummins, of Iowa, op pose the plan, and a filibuster Is feared. President Taft today Is trying to smooth the way of his pet measure in the senate, partly by argument with the refractory and partly by threats of an extra session, unless the bill is enacted. Indication that he has litle hope from the complaisance of the prog ressives in the senate is afforded by the record of their fellows' action in the house. In the house only Carey, Cooper, Hinshaw, Hubbard, Poindex ter and Madison voted for 'the bill. while Gronna. 'Kopp, Lenroot, Morse, iNelson, Davis, Lindberg, Volstead. Norrls, Goode, Haugen, Kendall, Pickett and Woods were opposed to it. CHAPMAN NOT SLATED FOR THE FORESTRY JOB A statement has appeared in the press to the fact that C. S. Chapman, secretary of the Oregon Forest Fire Association was slated for the office of state forester under the Buchanan bill. The directors of the Oregon Forest Fire Association deny this statement. They say Mr. Chapman Is under contract to act as secretary of their association for a term of years and there Is no movement con templated to have him appointed state forester. o WASIUNGTOX ADOPTS THE REFERENDUM I'NITED PKESS LEASED WIRK Olympia, Wash., Feb. 15.
