PORTLAND'S Final returns having
ELECTION come to hand in Port
land's first commission election, it
seems apparent that after all the Am
erican people know what they want,
and that In times of emergency they
' can be relied upon to get it. The cit
' izens of the metropolis have selected
five excellent men to manage their
affairs under the new form of gov
" ernment, and have picked these five
from a mass of candidates, many of
whom were as unfit as they were sel
fish in the motives that prompted
them to run. The campaign that pre-
ceded the election was remarkable
for many things, and particularly for
the violence of the attacks upon the
candidates in the race. But few of
them escaped the general mud-slinging
that was indulged in; and the
fact that people at large paid so little
attention to this reflects consider
able credit upon the voting intelli
gence. ' -
Mr. Albee, the next mayor of Port
land, appears at this distance to Je a
man well suited for the position, a
person of unusual character, and a
.citizen who appreciates the responsi
bilities of his office. In "the past he
has served the people in various ways
and it is not to be recalled that he
was at any time guilty of any breach
of trust placed In him. He Is facing
his new work seriously, realizing that
he is practically the dictator of a
great city; and is already laying sane
and safe plans for consulting with his
co-officials in regard to the manner in
which Portland's new charter shall
be put into practice.
The four commissioners are all
men who have at various times serve!
their communities In some way. Mr.
Dieck, Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Daly
have perhaps had more experience
than Mr. Brewster, but there is no
reason tc believe that any one of the
four will do otherwise than his duty
towards the voters. Mr. Barbur, tie
last member of the new government,
has served Portland long and faithful
Saving of Nation's Waste

We are now squarely up against tlio plain Tiirstiin of what is to le

and calls for treatment different from what has ever Ix cn given in this
country.
From other countries we get somp good siiiii;c.-tioiM as to what we

ly already, and his character is abvoe
reproach.
The election of Mr. Albee is a
great triumph for the Oregonian, as
well as for the forces of city better
ment. Portland's leading daily fought
a hard battle for its chosen candidate
during the latter part of the cam
paign, and that it fought it well1 is
shown by the final result. The Ore
gonian is to be congratulated upon
its choice of candidates, and upon the
dignified manner, in which it refrain
ed from some of the gutter methods
of its contemporaries.
Incidentally the election of the four
commissioners must be quite a sad
blow to some of the other aspirants.
There is Mr. Clyde, for instance, who
was quite noticeably hoist by his own
petard. Mr. Clyde attained defeat
on second and third choice votes,
yet his voice was one of the strong
est lifted for this. Had the election
been based solely on -"single shoot
ing," Clyde might have pinched
through.. However, as has been be
fore remarked, the voters knew what
they wanted, and got it. Mr. Baker
also owes his defeat to the seconi
and third choice ballots. Mr. Baker
made an excellent race of it, his
campaign was well conducted and de
void of grand stand methods, and his
failure in the last count cannot but
be regretted by those to whom he has
been a familiar figure in Portland
politics for many years. '

Here is Illustrated a somewhat amusing move on the part of the London
militants. They didn't take it voluntarily, but with police assistance and In
sistence. The bobbles finally came to the conclusion that a good way to check
the outrages of the arsohettes and dynamiters would be to break up the head
quarters where the outrages were planned. So they-raided the rooms of the
Woman's Social and Political union in London, taking along a van or two to
carry away the Inflammatory literature and whatever implements and mate
rials of warfare that might be found there. The militants didn't like It at all.

WEALTH DISTRIBUTION.
- In common with all Socialists,
I believe that if the proceeds of
industry were justly distributed
among those participating In -wealth
production there would
be few, if any. fortunes exceed
ing $100,000 to legislate about .
The claims made by many
wealthy people so often that their
fortunes are the result of their
own labors, enterprise, self de
nial and thrift we Socialists gen
erally disregard as being at vari
ance with easily demonstrable
facts. Accumulations of
private wealth will cease to re- .
quire legislative attention In pro
portion as the sources of wealth
and the process of wealth pro
duction are safeguarded by the
state against unearned profit

Heart to Heart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
THE RAILWAY MAIL CLERK.
Did you ever see one of the fast mail
trains on a trunk line railroad?
It is an impressive sight even from
the outside. It is more Impressive if
seen from within.
Every one of these cars, whirling
along at fifty or sixty miles an hour. Is
a hive of industry.
Mail clerks occupy almost every
available foot of space. With fingers
working with lightning speed they sort
the letters, each according to its des
tination or route, tie them into bundles
and put them into their right pouches.
Each of these cars is a psstoffice on
wheels.
1 recall the case of one clerk who was
killed in a railroad wreck seventeen
years ago. I heard a prominent con
gressman say of him repeatedly that he
was "the best mail clerk that ever
slung a sack."
He won a. national medal 4n two com
petitive examinations. He threw the
cards of his entire division, then com
prising something like 18,000 offices,
with but nineteen mistakes and did It
in an Incredibly short time.
He went through several wrecks, but
happened to come out unscathed.
Finally be was killed in his car and at
his post of duty.
His case is but typical of thousands
of others, for these servants of Uncle
Sam must not only be trained to a
point of efficiency superior to that of
soldiers, but they must face practically
the same chance of being maimed or
killed that soldiers face.
The railway mail service is the back
bone of the postal system.
It covers practically every line of
road In the land. On its efficiency de
pends the prompt and accurate deliv
ery of the mails.
It requires not only quickness of eye
and of hand, but retentive memory and
alert intelligence.
- Yet these railway mail clerks do not
receive particuarly high pay, and they
are practically unknown to thepublic.
They work at a killing speed and fre
quently for long hours.
Letters' containing in the aggregate
vast sums of money pass through their
hands. Yet the cases of dishonesty
among them have been surprisingly
few. "
5, 1913
m ; '
Each missive they handle may be of
vital importance to somebody may
carry messages of life or death, of love,
of important business transactions.
The next letter you receive, reflect on
what it represents.
It has been in many hands, all In
tent on serving you. -
It Is carried to you by a vast busi
ness organization, a complex machine
touching every home in the land.
And- -
The most important cog In that ma
chine Is the railway mail clerk.'
