That question la suggested by th ac quittal of som dlra.tors of th New Haven road and th disagreement of th Jury aa to tha guilt of others. The people applaud denunciations of -malefactors of great wealth" In gen eral, but when a group of Individual rtch men la brought befor twelve of lh people and aarcused of being male factor, thosa twelv do not act up to tha applaus cf thos whom they kr presumed fairly to represent.

A speM-laJ committee on merchant marine of th Ilnaton Chamber of Commerce recommends careruuy guarded subsidies sufficient to offset th difference In cot of operation be tween American and foreign vessels, increased ocean mail pay to fast ships on regular services, and a revision of the navigation laws and regulation so far as ther unneeawearlly burden American ship. Th subsidies and mall pay ar conditional on fitness for auxiliary naval scrvtc In time of war. There la good reason to believe that. if th navigation laws wera revised aa ptvpoad. the coat of operating hip nndr th American and foreign f'.g would ba nearly, ir not quit. equalUed. Th tra factors of cost constat ta measurements which en bancs tonnage dues: In roetly Inspec tion and In the requirement that American officers ba employed, which lnvolr payment of 4B per cent more In wage; also In th provision of ths soamrn'a law retutrmg a certain per centag of able-bodied seamen snd of men who understand the officer language. Tha only on cf thee legal provi sion about which serious controversy is likely I that requiring American officer, but Its repeel would not injur tha rlaaaea of men con cerned. They do not get tha Jobs In nueatton new. for th business Is d n by foreign ship ero ploying foreign of ficers, if the same ship wera under the American flag with foreign offi cer. Americana srou.d l"a nothing which they erer had.

But th United Ptalca Government needs th eetabllshrnent of steamship llnea to carry malL It also needs cr- tain ships so construnerj as xo oe adapted for us a cruisers or trans ports. All thes ship should ba om , ered snd manned br American cllt isns. tralnod f"r and transferable on demand to th nsval servi.-. To have thra requirements compiled will ha definite money value ttf th Govirn. merit equivalent to th evpens ther aoiUi .x;ost &a p kiii pafrar. 79 run a steamer on regular schedule at stipulated sp4 between certain ports and to reserve for mail a space wmcn would vary with each voyage Is worth a sura that la ascertainable on busi ness principles. By paying such a sum the Government would not ba paying a Bubsldy; It would ba paying actual valu for scrvic Tendered. Ko with th construction of ship for trans port or cruisers: It would impose ex tra expense on th ship owner which would be worth so much money yearly. So. also, with the employment of American citizens as naval reserve men at American wages; the extra expense represents the value to the Government of having such men al ways available for Its service. The op tion given to the Government of with drawing theee ships from private use and Impressing them, with their offi cers and crew. Into the naval service hss a money value. No payment un der these heads would be subsidies un. leas they exceeded proper compensa tion for these services anTJ they would then be subsidies only to the amount of that excess. The cause of the merchant marina has been damaged In tha public esti mation by the confusion which, exists In tha people's minds between pay ment cf ths actual value for useful service to the Government in the form of construction, operation and man ning of ships to suit tha Government's needs and payment In excess of that valu. Th former Is not, the latter Is. a subsidy. Tha bare mention of "subsidy" awakens opposition in the minds of millions of men who would favor paying fair value for actual service. Its misapplication ta a posi tive hindrance to the purpose which Boston has In view. Actual subsidy should be tabooed, for there Is good reason to bcHeve that we can get w hat we want by simply paying actual val ue. Tha word should be tabooed as not correctly describing what Is pro posed and as actually describing a policy which arouse violent opposi tion to anything which Is given the name. Mr. Perkins made a slight m Intake In his speech to tha Progreancive xa tlonaJ Committee. It Is not commonly stated that Progressive "leaders have abandoned their cause." What we have said la that the followers have abandoned the leaders, but that the leaders have not yet discovered th fact, though election returns make It apparent. Conspiracies are becoming th rage. Kvery unusual event Is attributed to them. The latest wa hatched up to deprees steel works stock at Touags town by Inciting foreign workmen to riot, according to a labor leader. Men have been forgiven for worse crimes than that of the man who spent all the money he ml wed on bad checks to help his sick mother, but the idea Is wrong and leads others Into simi lar crimes.

Erani Published by arrangement with Chicago Trlbune- I'lrtrherlzlag. Many years ago a German physician gained renoa-n for himself and his method of dieting by his success in reducing Bismarck. In his plan there were seversl portions, but the part that attracted most attention was the advice to drink no water with meals. The plan became somewhat popular, but the bet ter Informed were never much im pressed by it Two research men from the labora tories of Jefferson Medical College have Investigated the subject, with results that do not sustain the merits of the no-water-with -meal method of reduc ing obesity from the absorption of more food than is needed for the re quirements of the body. Excess of food of any kind can produce It, but the foods moat potent In producing obesity are the starches and sugars the car bohydrates. Blatherwlck and Hawk found that drinking water with meals did not in crease the absorption of carbohy drates and fats. At best, the no-water-at-meala method of reducing was an attempt to cheat at the game. And now thes scientists show that there is no scientific basis for It Then why did It necomplfsh some de gree of success? If you will look into th method you will find that it com bined exercises, limitation of the amount of food and especially of sweets and starches, with prohibition of water with meals. The results were the result of the first two of these factors. Associated with another research stu dent, I V. Foster. P. B. Hawk turns a point or two from another field. Fletch erism has as Its basis a substantial truth. But this truth waa developed. Inflated, and distorted until it became essentially an untruth. It was orer chewed. On of its fantasies was the claim that a man could cut his meat bill in half by chewing but little meat but chewing that little long. Foster and Hawk examined the wastes of FIctcherizers snd ordinary chewers. They found that the Fletch erlzers had a small advantage, but It was very small, only, one-fifth of 1 per cent. If an ordinary chewer required fl worth of meat In four days, by be coming a Fletcherizer he could live on cents' worth of meat. The advantage of Fletcherizing must be found elsewhere thsn In economy in the meet requirements If it is to be found st .-IL Metchnikloff hsd previ ously stown that yietcherizing meat did not prevent putrefaction. When It carnes to starches, Jones and Hawk think there is lots of reason for think ing that Fletcherizing, or at least pro longed chewing, prevents considerable wasta and aids digestion. In other words, ther think there Is advantage from prolonged chewing of such ar ticles as bread, cereals, potatoes, beans and peas. x At ths other extreme from Fletcher izing Is the bolting of food. The diges tive apparatus of the. men studied by Foster snd Hawk was powerful enough to overcome some of tha effects of bolting. They studied especially the wsste from bolting naif-chewed m-it They found that when meat was bolted l. per cent of it was psssed undigest ed. It is plain that proper cheing of meat cannot be advocated on economic grounds. A bolter who needs $1 worth of meat would require 98.4 cents' worth If ha chewed properly. If there is disadvantage In bolting one's food It must be for other than economic reasons. The disadvantage ia the extra strain which it puts on the digestive organs. The stomach must do more muscle work if the teeth do not do their share of the grinding. It may do it successfully for a long time, but it feels the effect In time. It was not 'intended that the human stomach should be a gizzard. To trim the Fletcherizing fad a fair amount will help IU truth to show through. IK Not Affect Voice. It. B.

To settle an argument: What was the population of Portland. Or., in 1650, and what was it SO years ago? BILL. HARTLEY. According to George H. Himes, of the Oregon Historical Society, there is no record of the exact population of Port land In 1850. It is estimated, however, there were not more than 300 at the most. In June. 1851. a vote for dele gate to Congress showed 213 voters. There were few women and children here then, which was the latter part of the year. A petition early in the year asking the state to allow Portland to incorporate was signed by every voter. It Is believed. There were 141 names to the petition. The votes cast at the election early In 1S51 are not available, but by deductions made from figures and records available, Mr. Himes says there could not have been more than 300 inhabitants. The Federal census reports give Portland's population in 1860 at 2874; in 1870 at 8298 No. HKPPNER. Or, Jan. 9.

Little care I whether our people on "Letter Week" write to those who are so unfortunate as to live beyond our borders, commending our state, its ' scenery, its equable and salubrious cli mate, and its products; but much care I bow on that week and on all other weeks of the year they mail what they do mail and ship what they do ship. If I care enough for a state to be come a citizen of it I am not ashamed to have it knowa where. I dwell. If I publish an essay in San Francisco or Chicago I let it be kqown that I live in Eugene, Oregon. I use no abbreviation for good old "Oregon." I sent an ap ple, paving 11 cents postage on it, to a little friend 1800 miles away; and she upon receiving it went around her home in glee, crying, "I've got an Oregon ap ple!" There was no doubt in her mind where it came from. I didn't intend there should be. I lived for over seven years in a Southwestern city that is a great pack inghouse center, yet out of it products go without a local trademark, because the companies have other centers. Several months ago the city was re ported to have .shipped three train loads (not three carloads) of lard to New Orleans to be forwarded to Eu ropean countries. I have no hesitation ' in saying that the name "Wichita, Kansas." did not appear upon a pail of that lard .Yet if during my pastorate I published an essay in a Chicago, Illi nois; Oxford, England, or other univer sity center review, I was very insistent that it appear as from "Wichita, Kansas," that there be no abbrevia tion. Sometimes to my annoyance a paper would appear with the senseless abbreviation "Kan.," though a whole line would be given to my place of resi dence, but without my consent So now as a booster for my state I abominate the abbreviation Ore, and utterly reject it: I like the state and I like its name. Oregon. It has a good taste to me: it moreover is sonorous, compelling and individual. There's no danger of its being confounded with the name of any other state. If we say a thing comes from Oregon a friend is left in no doubt as to where it was produced. Our addresses then should be given in full, especially as it takes little more ink and requires little if any more space. Portland, Oregon, looks good to me, but not with the "gon" gone.

But a pretty face peeping .from a bit of fur will probably smile sweetlv In derision. The new fashions are becoming and if they are different why that simply means the modes are not bound by conventions. News of fashion is always inter esting news to the fair sx and when the news contains informa tion as to where things may be seen and what they cost it becomes vital. That is why so many women are readers of the advertising- in The Oregonian.
