A few weeks ago the preHsmen went on strike in sympathy with I t Is th o u g h t by a rc h a e o lo g ic a l scbot- the feeders employed in Portland job printing shops. Some r e - a r s t h a t th is h u g e sto n e w a s in te n d e d tb e a n c ie n t b u ild e rs to a d o rn tb e marks were made in this [taper about the occurence at the time. by T e m p le o f th e S u n n e a r b y —now . of Since then the International Pressmens’ Union has considered the co u rse, ln ru in s.

The International officers, im b m u e g a e s u re m e n ts sh o w to be six ty -th re e bued with a sense of justice and reason, have decided that the local f e e t long a n d th irte e n fe e t high. A nd. m o re r e m a rk a b le still, th e y a r e pressmen had no grounds upon which to strike. (C o n tin u ed fro m P a g e 1.) the officers fearing to go to this length in their maneuvers. Among the rooms invaded w a s one occupied by a man and wife from Tacoma. Patrolman Black and Long both did their utmost to persuade this man and wife to admit that they were not mar ried. and their methods were not exactly gentlemanly. Later on, when taken to task for abusing the couple, the potrolmen said they had been “ told by some body to talk strong to them.” Throughout the entire raid there were only a cojiple of men, aside from the sergeant'in charge, who behaved reasonably. Most of the officers seemed to think that “ strong arm” methods were ne cessary, and that billingsgate was the only language appropriate for the occasion. Following the raid, tlie prisoners were walked down to the station, the courtesy of a patrol ride not even being ac corded them. As a result of this last raid without a warrant, the moral squad of the first night relief will probably undergo a change ln its peraonel. Charges will be pre ferred against a number of the men and some lively testimony is expected to be brought out in the hearings on the various phases of tlie matter. In the meantime, other pressmen had been found for a nurn-j ln P0?1“0" n‘ner,ee" ' . tb e g ro u n d level.

When the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company sought to obtain a referendum upon the council’s act in passing the fran chise of the Northwestern Electric Company, which promised to | rival them in the local power field, they deliberately abused the “ Oregon System,” which was designed to give the people a more pronounced voice in their government. The officials of the com pany knew that about 4700 votes were required in this instance to obtain the referendum; and they knew that they had 4,900 em ployees who coultl lit* relietl upon to sign their petition if necessary. They also knew that when they orderetl their petition Circulars to tell people that the petition was “ for a vote on the Northwestern franchise,” that they were instructing their agents to put an im proper and prejudicial face upon the matter. The vote desired was a vote against the franchise, a thing that possibly many signers of the petition tlitl not know. The referendum was sought solely for the purpose of holding up the franchise. The officers of the company must have known that at election the referendum would have liccu defeated, for thd majority of people want to see competition in furnishing electric power in Portland, so that prices will lie reduced. The adoption by tin* company of this referendum plnn was neither fair nor just; and it shows that the company really fears competition, and that it is willing to go to any length to postpone the time when it will have to reduce its present charges for light and power. \ f a r a s p o ssib le.

The Bobbs-Mer- rill Co., Indianapois, Publishers That there is often buried be- nonth a rough exterior the heart of a true man with the purest thoughts and motives is shown in tlie life of Jesse Smith. He lived always in God’s out of doors and oped in him a bravery, honesty and purity of love for tlie woman of his choice which made iiiin a man in the truest sense. With the perfume of the pine-needlei and the music of the streams, and 5f the cries of bears and cougars the environment of Jesse Smith strikes the responsive chords in his life nnd develops the bravery and purity of true manhood. He is rough and uneducated in the ordinary sense of the word, but rich in the knowledge of Nature and her laws. T h e G u est H ouse in A sia M inor.
