For myself, I would rather go round the world in a well-equipped man-of-war than make a trip across ! the North Atlantic in a tran-Atlantic vessel." The admiral describes some i of his cwn experiences as a ship's ! captain among icebergs, and. declares j that every passenger vessel should carry a full supply of life-saving ap pliances. But the admiral leaves something ,, unsaid -when he remarks that "the greed for money making is so great that human lives are never taken into consideration." The point he omits is the public demand for the quickest voyages in the biggest ships along the shortest possible routes regardless of the hazards. A desire to make money is common to all forms of commercial activity. The business of transporta tion needs intelligent regulation by law in its various branches. It is en titled to reasonable profits, and is no more subject to greed than other sorts of public service. All kinds are right ly "held subject to careful legislative supervision. Passengers flock to the biggest and fastest ships. The stanchest of small size would have had no chance to compete with the Titanic on her maiden run, or on subsequent pas sages if she had made a brilliant first passage instead of meeting with .an awful end. It does not follow that ships lOOO'feet long, or that are swift est, can not be safe. But where the .highest speed, the greatest, size, and marvels of luxury attract passengers willing to spend large sums for pas sage, and who will not consider a smaller ship, no matter what her sea going merits, it is unfair to say that the whole blame for the risks of the situation is to be laid upon steamship companies. They have been giving the public what the public most do manded. The lessons of the calam ity are not for ship builders and own ers alone. The Democrats in Congress have at last succeeded in doing something that The Little Red Schoolhouse Trains the Boy to Leave the Farm oioi t o jo o o ?? o o ?? o o ojo oi o?

Superintendent of the Presby terian Department of Church ind Country Life ' HE country school trains train in EFFICIENCY. The country school makes preach ers and lawyers. It does not make farmers. One-half the farmers of Illinois are renters. FOUR OUT OF TEN THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES ARE RENTERS. In the eyes of the law the renter as wellas the land lord is an outlaw. "The law does not adequately recognize either. UNLESS THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF FARMERS ARE TAUGHT THE WORK OF THE FARM AND ARE KEPT ON THE FARM THE PROPORTION OF RENTERS WILL STEADILY INCREASE. x Neither good schools nor good churches might be expected to be built by such farmers, who as RENTERS never look beyond the crop of the present year and realize that in the eyes of the law they were ' "outlaws" without any protection whatever. - THE FARMER'S SON, WHO SHOULD BE THE FARMER OF THE NEXT GENERATION, GOES INTO THAT LITTLE ONE ROOM COUN TRY SCHOOL AND RETURNS TO HIS HOME WITH HIS RESPECT FOR THE FARM GONE.

President Madero's hands are filled to the point of overflowing, but he will probably find time to head the request from the republc on the north that some attention be paid to the protection of American ciizens and American property . FORUM OF THE PEOPLE MORTGAGES AND SINGLE TAX MORNING ENTERPRISE, (To the Editor.) All Mortgagees are interest ed in keeping up the value of the lands mortgaged. Values of their securities cannot be maintained if other lands are reduced. Lack of demand always lowers pric es. The avowed object of the Single Taxers is to cheapen land and their scheme is very well calculated to low er the price of all lands. When land is falling in price the demand for it becomes less and less, and it is very difficult to sell it at any price. There are many thousands of mort gages ic Oregon, hundreds becoming due every day So far foreclosures have been few j because capital has been willing to either renew loans or make new ones to pay the old. But capitalists regard the Single Tax scheme as an attack on them. ! The ingenious and misleading figur 1 ing and Unfounded assertions of Sin- ! gle Taxers that the Single Tax as reduce values There would be great haste to real ize and the courts would be choked with suits to foreclose. There would be sheriff's sales ga lore. Equities would be pushed on the market in great numbers. All of which would go a long way further to reduce values. Under the most favorable view, there is scarcely a farmer in Clacka mas County, no matter how free from debt, whose lands would not fall in value many times what he would save in taxes on his improvements and per- sonal property. J. F. RILEY. JUVENILE FAIR HELD HERE TODAY Continued from page 1) of the same school was admired by many. Rufus' Kraxberger's exhibit, though not as large as others was con sidered by all who examined it to be wonderful. The vegetables he had grown were as large and of as good quality as that of any farmer in that country. The; entire exhibit of Can by will be taken to the State Fair, and a corps of workers will begin to pack it Thursday. The children of this section are very enthusiastic and de clare that next year they will have a larger and finer exhibit, i The delegation from Oregon City, owing to the heavy rains, encountered bad roads and was held for an hour between Molalla and Canby. It was through the excellent driving of Mr. John Loder and J. A. Melton that the trip was made. Dr. Guyv Mount also encountered difficulty in making the trip in his car, and although breaking one of the springs of his machine, re paired the car and continued on his trip, so as not to dissappoint the ba bies who were waiting to be judged at Canby. The delegation will visit the fairs at Oswego, Milwaukie and Wilsonville as well as the fair which will be held at the Commercial Club in Oregon City today. Mr. Gary is well satis fied in the interest manifested in the fairs by the parents asf well as the children and feels that the fairs next year will be a grander success than those of this year as the children will have more time to prepare for them.

Affairs have been assuming quite a lively at titude in Redmond the past two days.

On being refused he entered a contest on Monday in a straw vote, to decide whom the council should ap point to fill out his time.

Hosch were the on ly candidates before the people at the straw vote, and by much hustling got out about half the voting population to the election, most of the ballots be ing cast for Hosch.
