Cliff, Coroner St. Helens A PROTEST. The rural, communities of Oregon should protest vigorously against the policy adopted by the police of the City of Portland, of ordering their criminals to leave town. The practice has become great nuisance to Columbia and otliir counties. Tl.ec!nsi of men contributtd by the country to the city is of the very best, including such men as Jihn B. Yeon and Ilerry Colvin,wuo acquired wealth here and are investing it in the metropolis. In return Me receive the scum of the North Knd. W henever the police are holl ered by an irreclaimable hobo the court orders him to leave town- within a given peiiod. It is this clan of men, driven out of Portland, that is responsible for a great deal of the crime tliat ii Hi ts so great an expense on Col umtiU ami Uowliti counties, mere is neither sense nor justice in snob a prac tice. Of course the smaller towns are not without blame. Kularna, for in stance, ordered out of town, the three actors in the recent tragedy at Wood land. No community has a right to send its criminals to o: her communities. But Portland is the chief sinner. There will always be, in large cities, Certain quarters that are the habitat of crimi nals. They will do less harm there than if scattered throughout the cauntry. It should be the duty of the city police to keep track of this cl iss. When a mail has become a habitual ciimiunl lie should bi under constant police super vision, and compelled to report to police headquarters at certain intervals In this way a competent police force would be greatly aided iu the detection of criminals, aud the rost bill of crime would not be as great as it is under the present system, or, rather, lack of evs- tem. To send criminals of the city ont into the country and the small towns is to make them missionaries of crime. There is no system in the smaller com mumties whereby they cm be controlled and, without any knowledge as to their identity, the country placaa are practi cally attheir mercy. Whenever a vag rant is arrested in any country town of Oregon, if it can be shown that he baa been sent out of Portland, he should be promptly returned to the metropolis without thanks. RELIGION A LA MODE The new day was crowding close upon the heels of the old one Saturday night when the dressmaker and the milliner laid aside the needle, and a sidelight in cidental to feminine pride and rejoicing was me reien oi meee urea toilers at the coming of Sunday, with its surcease from the mad rush for fine raiment the real fury of which was reserved for the patieut servitors behind the counter and at the sewing table. Many a little shop gin ana puer oi i lie nee-lie ana shears doze-J luxuriously among the pillows until noon vesterdav. restinir tired limbs, aching fingers and nver-strained nerves while mi-lady, arrayed in her Kaster creation, sat in her pew, under the soft shimmer of stained class win dows, breathing in the perfume of the lillies, listening to the roll of the antuerns.and lu-itively surveying, with critical eye, her neighbor's gown and hat Ssn Bjxbee, in Sunday's Oregon ian. The tired shopgirl stayed at home. She would have felt out of place in the facnionable church, by the side of mi lady, whose bonnet represented her toil. There were probably many in the churches last Sunday who were Im bued with the religion of Jesus Christ, and who try to walk in his footsteps, but they are doing bo against many dilll-CJllie-, including the farliionaUe church and the fashionable preacher. Women will not, as a rule attend churches where they are made to feel the wide difference between poverty and wealth. The churcliisof the cities are tor those who are dres;ed in "purple and fine linen." They are the drees parades of the smart set, wbi pay little attention to tin pulpit, but fCin with envious or contemptuous glances, the millinery and drees goods display. Thi-re is no true religion in it, aud it is even VJlgar, y,-t there is no denying thut it is the mode, and those who do not fall in with it, but have their thoughts o i Kaster Day fixed on the siiblimo story t the resur rection seem out of place amid the tliron of butterflies who have no higher conception of the great Chris tan holiday than that it is Intended as n special occasion for the display of vanity. Milady would just as soon go sin hi n ing in the Nort End as to attend a pi ci cf worsh ip such as "the little church around the corner," where she orglit be seated in the same paw with her hired girl or some laboring man w ho had conceived the idea that the carpen ter of Galilee was bis ersonal savior, I to the poor as to the rich. Over the d or of each fashionable elm ch should lw ii -.scribed "No carpent-rs admitted; not iVcii on from Gall-lee-." WORK EOR NENEf.

It would lie of interwt to the voters of the lltth judicial district to know why lliesa in stitutions have been permitted to run in open violation of the law. U is the duty of the district attorney to see that the hw 1 enforced, and all that is n?crs?ary is for him to notify the gam blers that they must shut npshop. Whv have they been permitted to run? Their existence Is open and notorious. The district attorney and the peace officers ol CLttsop and Clackamas coun ties are neglecting their duties. Whether the new uistriet attorney, who is a resident of Clackamas county, will be any better in this respect than the old on-', who was a resident of Clatsop comity, temains to be seen. Thero niav lie no g ait in it, but if not, why not? It is a big concern, financially, a-ul, if authorities permit its existence they must be fools not to exact tribute trotu them. This is by no means saying they are fools. c. Ussciikr, ATTORN EY-AT-LAW.

SOMETHING TO ARBITRATE It is worthy of note that the railroad companies of the CniteJ States ate ask ing the Government to arbitrate the difference entirely between them and their employes. Heretofore the em ployes have cought the privilege of arbi tration, and have generally been met with the response, "We have nothing to arbitrate. We propose to run our owti business to suit ourselves and if you don't like it we can find plenty to take your place." It appears, however, that just at present the railroad kinjs are in an humble mood. Aroused public Opinion has made it hard to buy up tlu legislatures, ami a number ol states have passed laws intended to convince the corporations that a carrier that bus beeu given special privilege is not al together a private concern, and that the public has something to say as lo how such business must be conducted. Theu the President has been i entering. He has been busy enforcing the doctrine of equality before the law, something absolutely repulsive to the corpoiation idea. Then, again, men are eciice and business brisk. A tieap just at present would be a powerful object lesson in favor of Government control of public eervicj corporations. So. consideritg everything, the corporations h.ive de cided that this titnj there is leally "something to arbitrate," and it is hoped, for the sake of all parties (espec ially the general public) that arbitration mav be sueces-dul.

TO KNOW OREGON BETTER Every citizen of Oregon should get busy and advise their friends nn 1 acquaint ances in other s'ales that tin re are only four weeks left in whic't to get the ad vantage of the colonists rates to Oregon points. These tickets will hi sold up to and including April 30th; there is lots of time to get in good work. All the commercial bodies of the state should get busy with all the schools, for while the bomemakers are pouring into the state their numbers can be materially in creased by proper effort. To know Oregon better and particu larly the community in which you live has become epidemic all over the State. Chief GriUmacher, of the Portland police, has opened a school of informa tion for all bis officers, and they are familiarizing themselves not oniy with every detail of the city hut with im portant matters relative to the State. Manager Ed Lyons of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company, in charge of all the employes of the Cnion IX-pot, has opened a similar school of iuforina toin and will test his men every two weeks as to their efficiency. Mr. John H. Whyte, of New Orleans, Louisiana, one of America's very beat publicity men, has come to make his home in Oregon, having accepted a position with the Astoria Chamber of Commerce at a salary of $2,500 per year. Governor Mead of Washington attend ed the opening of the Columbia Club, Vancouver's new commercial bodv. There were present on this occasion 1 rga delegations from the Prt'nnd Com- j ni) c:al tl ib and the Tarawa Chamber of Comm?rc4 and S -crelary Prut of the latter orjaiizition, acco.npuiied Gover nor Mead to I'oriland where they weie guests at the Portland Commercial Club. The Sal -m Board of Trad takes the place of the Salem Commeicial Citib and represents Salem's combined and determined effort to make bersll he.rd among the cities ol the Northwest. The organization now h is in contempU'iori a special excursion party similar to trioe made by ths Portland Business Men. The capitol city is determined to have better streets and oilier improvement of a metropolitan character. No bran of the Oregon Development Lengiie is doing more ffectivs work than the fruit grower' organization at Irrigon. They recently sent out fivi thousan I pieces of ! matter in one delivery of the mail. The Oreg m Development Lea-iiij is nearer op with its correspondence than at any time within four month". During last week, however, the rnni -s of mo e than 600 inquirers about Oregon, were forwarded to the 61 organization t mak ing op the stato body. Two thoumud 1 Germans who havs inquired ab ill.
