may believe In a future life nor
how great Jhe Joy that belief may
give us. we cannot know until we

Mr. Thayer declares that without
future life the present life is pur
poseless. Not so. Good works
have their reward In the doing.
The giving of a cup of water to a
thirsty child and the Invention of
a combined harvester which lifts
burdens from men's shoulders are
benefits to the race, and the accom
plishment of good Is its own reward.
Mr. Edison, though he has not
amassed wealth, has had in his soul
the reward for his Inestimable serv
ices to mankind a reward greater
than all the millions other men
have amassed.
If Mr. Thayer cannot derive pleas
ure and benefit today from good
work well done, but must wait for
the hereafter for his reward. h
misses much of the joy of living.
The concededly wisest man wrote:
"A man should rejoice In his own
works, for that, la his portion, for
who shall bring him to see what
shall be after him?" The wise- ma
believed (he Could not know) with
Mr. Hyslop. for he wrote: "That

have something to show for our
pilgrimage on earth, when we may
vainly wish we had made better use
of our life.
There are women enough who are
Interested in all the social, labor
and political problems of the world.
But why should all women be that
way. when their sphere is not the
sphere of man? Not only because I
am at a paper am I interested in all
that goes on in the world, but be
cause I consider It essential to
knowledge. Since we have more
rights than the women of the last
ccmtury, we should with liberal con
sideration exeicis them. The ac
euracy and reliability of our modern
business women and girls speaks for
itself. . .
K women with a radical tendency
choose to indulge in dress, etc., why
condemn them? If they were men,
they woufd give vent to their feel
ings In revolutrons, drink an cru
elty to family. . - j '
Woman's mission in life Is av.no
tle one: she has been gifted by na
ture with, qualities which man has

in the- world. In the crucial
events of life in sickness, trouble
and perplexity Is it not to a woman
that all turn for comfort? The in
stincts of motherhood are inherent
young men and young women which
should not be permitted to step into
and mar the lives of the boys and
girls whom we have trained In our
noises and cnurcnes tor useiui
careers, yet.' an everrincreasing
number of them is marching to
ward our cemeteries and our peni
tentiaries by the pistol route.. Tha
number thus sacrificed each year on
the pistol altar is estimated to be
more than our total losses In the
recent world war, and the number
Is greater each year' because there
are more pistols manufactured and
sold.
And this is not Russia or' Armenia.
In fact,- in our part of Christian
America, said to be the most highly
civilized country in. the world, there
are. according to population, more
murders, suicides and robberies than
in any country in the world. Ana we
have more murder factories, mak
ing and selling more of these little
crime producers than any other
country in the world. The remedy .
in fi fixinir a label on the cistol as !
fin outlaw and an enemy to society !
and by banisnmg it as an amcie or
trade and commerce throughout our
land. This means continued and
persistent effort in our state legis
latures and our national congress.

he can do and does not do to bring

HE suburb of I.Innton Is altu-
id on a highway known the
world over as one of the scenic
drives of the west. The natural lo
cation of the Portland suburb of
I.Innton was such that the builders
of the lomer Columbia river high

famous drive directly through the
town and as a result Linnton s mala

pared boulevard to the sea makes
it an Ideal drive In the winter.
The steady stream of autoists
flowing through the little suburb
night and day has proved a rour.-e
of revenue to the business center of
the community and aa a result Linn
ton boasts of a number of f irst-clas
business houses. Tourists have
found it convenient to stock up with
the necessities for their picnic
luncheons which they desire to take
with them on the highway drive and
as result the stores of the com
munity have thrived.
But tho principal Item In the up

largest sawmills of the Willamette
river district lie within the limits
of the little suburban district and
contribute the payroll, which pro
vides the substantial business sec
tion and the fine homes. These two
Industries. providing employment
for over 10 men daily and running
night shifts as well, are operating
to capacity and have been doing so
for years, with the result that the
population of I.Innton has not found

CRISIS HELD GREAT ONE
Creation, of Xew System to Handle

PORTLAND. Aug. 11. (To the Edi
tor ) The United States Ta today fn
the midst of the greatest industrial
crisis of its history. Since last April
1st. now nearly four months. S0.0(ra
coal miners have been on slriKe ana
since July ovef SOO.aoo railway
workers have been Idle from the
same cause and thousands more are
being added daily, not counting the
textile- workers in the New England
atstea, out for more than six months
and a further stoppage of SO.OoO.
New Tork garment workers sched
uled to take plaoa next Tuesday.
Th'.e situation Is a serious menace
to the security and perpetuity of
our government. It is an Indictment
of the progress and genius of our in
stitutions and the Ingenuity of the
American people.
- No Individual or single group of
individuals Is capable of evolving
a system of Industrial regulation
which would be acceptable. A sys
tem to be generally accepted must
be crested by the Interests Involved
and by their active participation in
Its creation and the interests In
volved are the whole people. It is
a national problem and must be
made nationally acceptable aird met
with the widest approval of the
peopl of all the states.
A national industrial cons-ress
should be assembled for the purpose
of finding an acceptable policy gov
erning the relations between capital
and labor and to create eh neces
sary machinery for harmonising the
Industries Of the United States, this
congress to be organised In the fol
lowing manner, the president of the
senate and the speaker of the house
each to appoint a committee of eight
equally divided between toe repub
lican and democratic members, this
committee to be designated as the
national Industrial congress hoard:
the functions of this board to be thr
selection of If persons each from
the nation at large and from the
three groups representing labor,
capital and the public They would
also be empowered to name the time
and place of the meeting and fill
vacancies and to see that each group
Is represented by their full mem
bership during the deliberations, and
to arrange for the calling of In
dustrial conferences in each of the
4S statea of the Union.

of three from each of the three
groups, these to be appointed by
the governor and they "to select
eight conferees from each of the
three groups, capital, labor and the
public within the state, they to con
pose the state industrial conference.
The powers of this committee to be
that granted the national industrial
ccngress board. The national Indus
trial senate would be called into
session to formulate their plans and
recommendations and when com
pleted thr national industrial con
gress board would Issue a request
to the governor of each slate to
call his state conference and to sub
mit to them the findings of the na
tional Industrial senate for amend
ment. change1 or aubstit ution as may
be determined upon. Upon the con
clusion of the labors of the state
conferences they would select from
their number three members to re
port to the natlonsl congress the re
sult of their deliberation. These
three selected members from each
of the state conferences of the 48
states would compose the house of
representative's with ths 48 federal
appointees composing the senate and
together constituting the national
Industrial congress. It might be well
to provide that the congress he gov
erned by the rule and regulations
governing the national congress at
Washington, with the provision
however that no final determination
of any question could be had ex
cepting by a majority of three
fcurths vole of each body.
Through these state . referendum
conferences the most extensive pos
sible range of publicity would be
given and it would bring into the
deliberations a representation of all
the interests concerned and would
concentrate the thougtu and atten
tion of all the p.ople upon the va
rious phsss of the questions under
consideration.
It Is not to be expected that within
a short while results could be had
from such a congress. It wilKrequire
months to put the plan int opera
tion and many months possibly of
deliberation before a final result
could be had. In view of the serious
and alarming condition throughout
the nation the national - congress
should at once give consideration to
the convening of such a body anA
provide the necessary machinery for
its inauguration. G. Y. HARKY.

No Thought of Future Held jtt
Time of Killings, Kays Writer,
PORTLAND. Aug. 12. (To the
Kditor.) For many years I have
been strongly opposed to. the Idea
of Inflicting the death penalty on
(he murderer, and noi wltuuut rea
sons. I can't say that I have any
sympathy for the Individual who
commits a wanton, atrocious mur
der. -But organized society has been
hanging and beheading, and disor
ganized society in quite a few in
stances hss been lynching and burn'
Ing at the stake the outlaw and
murderer. Still crime .runs rampant.
I hesitate to believe that the man
Bartholomew who a few years aero
slew the man LI nd and placed his
body in a trunk and placed the re
ceptacle In the Willamette river ever
expected to be caught. And yet at
that time we noted an editorial in
The Oregonlan bemoanlngy the fact
that capital punishment was not at
that time in-effect in Oregon and
that Bartholomew had chosen a
state In which capital punishment
was not ln.l effect to commit the
hideous orlme. Did Dr. Brumfield
choose a state in which capital pun
ishment wss not In effect or did
Kusscll Hecker do likewise?
Did not Dan Casey, Russell Hecker
and Dr. Brumfield expect to get
away, with it? : What difference did'
it make to these mn whether cap
ital punishment wssv in effect in
Oregon or not? . "Let us recall also
the Lottsso murder case.' In those
particular instances the- perpetrator
of the crime at the particular time
that he put it into effect cared ab
solutely nothing for consequences.
The after consequences were of
very little Import to him. Yet in
the face of all of this array of facts
there are those who still insist that
capital punishment is a deterrent to
murder and yet again we find no
one citing an instance or giving us
the name of a man who refrained
from committing murder through
fear of the hangman.
The proponent of capital punish
ment will deny most emphatically
that the Idea of hanging is one
simply and purely of revenge, and
yet hangman's day in go many in
stances we are advised that friends
and relatives of the murdered per
son were in attendance at the execu
tion and congratulating the hang
man and prison officials on their
w-ork. ,
Of course, it isn't a killing that
takes place in our state institution
on hangman's day. It's Just simply
an execution. There is no Idea of
revenge entering the proceedings,
and, turnip? to the subject of re
venge, all-tv un to remark that for
centuries men have been applying
the idea of revenge to their life
problems and have gotten nowhere
with It. If we are going to apply
the Mosaic doctrine of an eye for
an eye, etc., to life's problems Jet's
not try to confuse it with the
teachings and precepts of a later
teaeher.
But if we are still going to carry
out the idea of hanging people for
a few thousand more years, why
should we make such a fine dis
tinction between men and women?
They commit Just about as atrocious
crimes as the men do, but do we
read any newspaper reports of a
woman awakening from a refresh
ing sleep on the morning of the ex
ecution, partaking of a breakfast
consisting of ham and, eggs and as
cending the scaffold assisted by the
hangman and the prison chaplain,
chewing spearmint, etc.?

AURORA, Or.. Aug. 12. (To the
Editor.) A certain J. "W. Campbell
took up the cudgel recently in favor
of evolution. He was wroth with
"writers and speakers, from W. J.
Bryan down (or up)," he says, be
cause they befuddle the Issue, since
they "invariably quote some dis
carded theories ana outlet intra
worthless mother and an indifferent about as though they were the whole
wife. Duties toward her husband,
duties toward her children, duties
toward her' household all these
things which doubtless ought to
hold first place will be thought lit
tle of by any woman who has not
by means of serious occupations
laid for herself the foundat'on of a
usefully employed life.
Can we wonder that marriages so
'ften turn out unhappily when we
see how they have originated?
Worldly mothers seeking for their
thing."
Mr. Campbell thereupon gave us
the matter straight. He tells us, in
short, that man and the ape are
cousins. "In no sense is the ape
ancestral to man," but he thinks it
"probable" that they, "-have come
from the same family stock.""". This
being the case, we need no longer
search for the "missing link"
of Darwinian notoriety.
I admit that this is what present
day evolutionists teach. The old

taking nothing for granted. It de

needed to support the new theory is
not forthcoming.
It is but a truism that evolution
can not take leaps. No links dare
be absent in the chain. Whatever
there is of progress must be gradual
and continuous. If man's ancestor
was a brute apelike in appearance,
it must be possible to trace man
back and back, gradually an.1 with
out break, until his . forebears , are
reached.- The fact, however, is that
tha duties of a doctor, tb,at he is
seldom to blame if his patients do
not get well. Our own temperment

J. W. Campbell is of the rather

been done. - The oldest human fos-

of some sufferer doing his best

He forsakes his hours of sleep and
his meals, for a hurry-call to some
one in distress. Oftentimes it is to
a home of poverty, where there is
no hope of remuneration except the
pleasure 'that comes with the
thought of doing something to help
a fellowman. .
The family-doctor has to be a
tonic to the mind as well as to the
body, for to him -is laid bare the
secret of lives. To him is given
the opportunity to know people as
they really are. In pain and dis
tress, or at the approach of death.
all the deceptions fall away and
he will know -us better than we
knew ourselves. The secrets of
heart and home can not be hidden
from the trained eye of the family
physician., He sometimes must act
the part of a mother, father, law
yer and confessor and add to this
the power of healing. All 0 this
may be interesting, but it is also
another burden for a busy doctor,
and is one that' every doctor has at
times. He learns some truths 'be
cause they are forced upon him
by continuous vinlts to the family.
He has seen entire families .pass
away one afte another because
they would not follow the lines laid
down by nature for all to follow. He
has heard heartbreaking confessions
at the bedside of many who were
losing their hold on life because
snaps. A great gull opens wide and
yawning. On the one side stands
the man, and on the other the ape.
And there Is no bridge in site that
spans the chasm.
.jyhen attention is called to this
surprising circumstances, the evolu
tionist usually replies that the
geological record is very imperfect
in many respects and that the links
may have been destroyed. Also he
cherishes the fond hope that they 1
might still be discovered. But this
explanation is altogether unsatis
factory and merely shows In what
straights the evolutionists find
themselves. If man and ape had a
common ancestor, it should be just
as easy to find the missing links la
the case of the former as it has been
to produce them in the case of the
latter. '
The links that connect the exist
ing man-apes with the lower apes
are all here. Not a one Is wanting.
Without difficulty the man-apes can
be traced back, and back, and back.
iBut man can not so be traced back.
The line, that Is supposed to have
reached upward to him, can hot be
discovered. The Australian negro la
sMil a man. Below the lowest level
of existing man, no man has so far
traced his species. The outstanding
feature in all the strife and tumult
is that the poorest fossil human
brain has twice the cubic capacity of
the best ape brain. .
Thus M. Campbell's theory Is
weak where it ought, to be strong.
Not until evolutionists find tne
links that are supposed to connect
man with the animal, will tb,
theory stand. There are all possible
gradations, from the highest to the
lowest, in existing man. Why are
there, no gradations from the low
est man to that mysterious and sup
positional forebear?. .-"-,

Uncle Sam's Postof f ices
Use Lot of Paper.
Supplying Stationery and Other
lVeeds Is No Small Job..
VV Supplying the stationery re
quirements of Uncle Sam's many
postoffices afid branch offices is no
small Job; according to the estimates
made by officials recently in adver
tising for bids to fill - the coming
year's needs.
Curing the next fiscal year tne
department estimates it will use
approximately 300 tons of stationery
and typewriting paper alone. More
than 3,500,000 sheets of carbon pa
per, enough to cover' 847 square
miles of land, will be ordered. For
card index -requirements the modest
number of 8,622,000 cards will be
needed.
- To writs on all this vast amount
of stationery and to fill the thirsty
bottles in postoffice lobbies from
New York to San Francisco and
from the gulf to the lakes. 59,400
quarts of ink will be used. Despite
this inky reservoir. 243,000 rubber
stamps will be purchased; while to
tie together the department's reams
of "red tape" 15,600 pounds of rub
ber bands will be used and 90,000,000
wire clips.
Other items include 46,800,000
tags, beeswax, needles and other
things. Since every postoffice must
have a national flag, and flags do
not last forever, 2500 will be pur
chased to replace those tattered in
service.
