Modifying tht Homeetaad Act Aa a nieana of making horaestead Ing more attractive, the law of 1S62 haa been modified ao aa to permit the aettler to get a title after three years' occupation, Inatead of five, aa former ly, he will be allowed to be absent from it for five montha each year, If he wishes, and the acreage which ta required to be cultivated la reduced. These are Important changes, Aa was to be expected, they were propos ed by Western members and received most of their aupport in the West, which is the section In which the homestead act chiefly operated. It would be difficult to overesti mate the value which the free homes act of half a century ago conferred on the West It attracted millions of people here who, otherwise, would have been much slower In coming. Through Us operation homea have been scattered through all of the atatea on the sunset aide of the Mis sissippi, where most of the govern ment land of 1862 existed. Thirteen states have been created west of the big river since that law went on the statute book. One of the objects of the Uberallia tlon of the homestead act Is to dimin ish the wave of American farmers who are crossing the line Into Can ada to locate there. It la estimated that an average of 100.000 Americans have moved Into Canada annually for the past few years. While the figures may not be actually quite aa Urge aa the Canadian boomers pretend, yet the movement la too great to be per mitted to continue without some ef fort to lessen It. Comparatively lit tle desirable lands can now be obtain ed nnder the free homes law, but any thing which increases the settlement on auch lands as still exist deserves praise. Growth of Foreign Population Surprise Is expressed because the foreign-born population of New York City increased faster In the ten years ending with 1910 than did the natives. There Is- no real cause for surprise In that circumstance however. The same thing was often seen in the past New York Is not only the largest city of the country, but It Is the principal entrance point for Immigrants aa well aa for merchandise. More races are renreaented on the streets of New York than are found In London or Con stantinople. More tongues are talked there than Babel ever dreamed of. But although New York is growing three times as fast aa London, and much faster even than our Western wonder City of Chicago, the propor tion of population increase In the past ten years being 28 per cent for Chi cago and 38 per cent for New York, the foreign population of the bigger town is smaller, relatively, than It oft en was In the past While it Is about 40 per cent of the total of the inhabi tants of that town now. It was 50 per cent of the total In 1860. New York has quadrupled In population since then, and the natives In It have in creased much faster than have the for eigners In this half a century. The gain of the natives oveAhe foreigners is true of the entire country. About 29,000,000 of Immigrants have landed on our shores since 1820, when the figures first began to be compiled, with care, and three-fourths of these have come since 18C0. Yet the na tives here grow faster than the aliens. This is a truth which should be grasp ed by those who would shut out Im migration. Undoubtedly some of the Immigrants are undesirable. Most of them, however especially of those who reach the West, are an asset for the country. There Is room in this reg ion for mady millions mora of them. It would be better for the Immigrants as well aa for the East where most of them locate now, if a larger pro portion of them came WeBt To Make Murder Unpopular Masssehuaetts haa an excellent plan for cutting down the number of mur derers.

"Hanging for murder is played out In New York." exclaimed Jack Rey nolds, an obscure slayer in the big city a third of a century ago. That Immunity did not work in his case, because he put up a challenge to Jury and Judge which they dared not dodge.

Rlcheson'a murder of the Linnell girl In Massachusetts was worse than a crime, it was a blunder. Had It been committed a few miles away.

Rlcheson per haps was excusable for not knowing that It enforced honestly, rigorously every statute which was on Ita books. bad and good alike.

A con siderable part of the 15,000,000 voters of the United States, though hardly a majority .are apparently ready to cen sure the party that controlled all de partments of the government from 1897 until the present House was elected. That was a period of six teen years, and the executive branch is still Republican. What will Repub licans have to say for themselves If called on to deliver the keys to an other party on March 4 next? It wrlll be something better than waa ever eaid before under such circumstances. How stands the treasury at this mo-.jit at jt, owner as the robber cow, STARVED CALVES MAKE ROBBER COWS. Are beef breeds of cattle more pre potent than dairy breeds? This ques tion has come to me after examining many animals. On the range, at least n Dr cent of the beef type from eood siles are good feeding stockers, In swine and sheep the percentage of eood animals Is equally large. Here the exceDlon Is usually found In ani mals whose growth has been retard ed by some unfortunate condition. generally lack of food. On the range the "dogle" or moth erless calf Is ill-shaped and never makes a profitable feeder. The "pee wee" lamb may be simply a late lamb, but In most cases la one whose body was shrunken and "set" by lack of food. Many a pee wee derives Its bird name from short feed and long drives around a forest reserve. My observation has been, says a writer In Farm and Home, that where a robber cow Is found, It la safe to assume there has been a robbed calf. Manv or the vicissitudes of the aver see akim milk calf. Every case of scours Is slmDly Indigestion, or In other words, a training of the stom ach and digestive organs to fail to assimilate food. That pall of cold or soured germ-laden milk that was re fused for a time until hunger maae it desirable is training the stomach still further along the same line that made pee wees and dogleg.

Now that tha big Republican con veutlon la over and tha Democratic convention Is near an end, the atten tion of a great part of ;lie couutry will renter upon l'ortland where the Ben evolent bnd Protective Order of Elks will begin Its annual grand lodge con vention Monday, July S. Every one of Portland's 275,000 res tdents baa shared in tha work of pre paring for the invaaloa of tha city by the Elks. Not only have the members of the Portland lodge, who have the arrautemente in Immediate charge, given their time and attention to the task but the buslneaa men aud pri vate clttiens have assisted tnem ma terially. Portland haa ralaed an entertain ment fund of $125,000 of which 12ft. COO waa contributed by the local lodge, the balance by merchants aud individ uals. This will be spent In dispens ing characteristic western hospitality to the city'a guests. Probably the greatest crowd that ever attended a national conclave of Elka will assemble In Portland. This la true for several reasons. One Is the fact that this will be the first time the Elks have held their conven tion In the Northwest The .Nortnwcsi haa numerous attractions. The l'ort land Elka are preparing to ahow their guesta many of them. From the time the first delegate ar rives until the last one departs Joy and goodtelowshlp will reign supreme. Every entertainment feature piannea by the Portland lodge will be free to 11 visiting Elks and members or tneir families. The week's festivities real ly will open Sunday. July 7, with trol ley trips and automobile rides to var ious points of scenic delight in and near Portland. Monday will be devoted to the form al reception of the visitors and the opening of the grand lodge sessions by an elaborate mualral and oratorical program In the Immense Armory ol the Oregon National Guard. The remainder of tha week will be occupied with a aeries of unique at tractions that will keep the whole city on the alert An event of Tuesday will be a spec tacular electrical parade consisting of 17 brightly illuminated 11 oats some of them symbolical of Elkdom and oth ers typifying life in various of the world's leading nations. This pageant was prepared by the Elks at a great cost and undoubtedly will be one of the most brilliant feaurea of the en tire week. On Wednesday all registered Elks will be conducted on a free excursion to the Oaks, an amusement resort on the banks of the Willamette, where every concession will be opened and the antlered band allowed to roam In and out at will. A monster barbecue will be served for which fully five tons of fresh Columbia river Salmon will be baked. A corps of workmen already Is busy preparing the ovens for this detail. The annual parade, which Is the cli max of every Elk reunion, will take place Thursday, July 11. Advance In formation received from various lodg es In the United States Indicates that more than 25,000 members of the ord er will participate. James R. Nichol son of Cambridge, Mass., grand es quire of the Elks, has arrived in Port land to take charge of- the parade. Liberal prizes have been offered for various features. Considerably friend ly rivalry has developed among lodges on the Pacific Coast for the honor of having the largest number of men In line. San Francisco. Seattle. Tacoma. Spokane, Oakland and Los Angeles, are In the competition. The Portland lodge and all lodges In Oregon are barred from all contests.

It Is said that the French Abbe Dellle once bad In his buuaehuid u very quick tempered relative, with whom be some times had animated disputes and who sometimes went so far as to throw books at the abbe. The abbe must have been a person of great amiability and self control. Once, when a particu larly large and heavy volume was thrown at him. he caught It gracefully and said: "My dear friend.

The chairman for the several days are authorized to name assistants from the body of the Every day, except Tbursaay, Those of ua who rpinmuber bar of more than 35 youra ago cannot help looking at her modern successor with wonder and a little of the suspicion with which Ihs old regard the now. How daintily she tripped upou the country lane toward the white school house to beglu her day's work! There wna nothing In her appeuraiice to distinguish her from the ordinary country laas except the thoughtful brow betokening deeper Incursions In the realm of learning, If her wider mental reach Impressed her with a sense of superiority among the youth of the land she certainly waa too wull bred to vent It In words. At that time fads and fashions could not enter through the sacred portals of the school house. Studies were not obscured and colored by thefrlp perlea of ao called embellish ment. Arithmetic constated In clear slate mints of the relation between numb ers; grammar was a plain elucidation of the principles of language; and spelling was liolil In such high esteem that perfection In It was au object of pride to young and old. All methods , bore the stamp of the directness and the common sens of that generation. i The Influence of the school uia'm was not limited by the walls of the school room. Her authority In mat ters of learning was supreme lu the community. In a dispute about points In obatruse knowledge she was the oracle to know the truth. She waa also credited with a keen dliceru- 1 meut of the nicer proprieties of life among her sex, and as a moral light she stood not far below the minister. Despite all thla, she did not deem It beneath her dignity to be on the look out for "the right man" to pop the Question ao Interesting to the tern Initio mind. And when he came she graciously accepted him aud stepped from h-r pedoatal to perform tbe da Ilea of the housewife which were not drudgery because aha did not think they were. She had reason for ac cepting the shelter of a home. Never could she hope to build one of her own efforts, for though her wages were equal to those of good hired man, teui-htiig usually was limited to the winter months. Happily she looked for her chief reward In tbe growth aud fruitage of the aeeda she con sclentioualy aowed. Why tbe modern teacher (she re sents the name schoojnia'm) receives at least double the pay. of the pres to hired man la aeldoiu explained at thla age when moat of ua are either too busy or too buy to search for causes. It sertalnly Is not Justified by results. Tbe standard of Intelli gence haa not risen. The young gen eration swallows patent medicine, and Is fleeced at bargalu counters and by political grafters even mure thsn was the old. Hut the teacher, at any rate Is an up to dute woman. Intelligent rather then Intellectual, world wise rather than book-wise, She may be looked upon aa the embodiment of woman's new won Independence, Whether a suffragette at heart or not he la too shrewd to pose as one. Moreover she knows that additional rights and authority mean additional duties and responsibility, and that wo man can get more by asking than by demanding. Like most of us now-a duys the teacher measures the reward for her labors chiefly by the figure on her monthly check and we cannot blame her for being like the rest of ua. Whatever may be her faults, she never lacks politeness nor does she disdain the other sex. 8he would ev en consent to marry one If there were any personal gain In the tran saction. Hut It la clear aa moon-light that the average man Is her Inferior In Intelligence and In earning power, and what woman who Is able to stand alone would lean upon someone less strong than herself? Hut her mother was married and all her grandmothers before her up to Eve. Some bow It runs In the family and heredity Is a mighty force. Let us wait and see. ANDItEW FRANZEN.
