A com-i "ha difference it makes to accept mission of education was appointed j the decrees of fortune in a cheerful in lOrti and. following its reoort. ' frame of mind. Ex. customs which had obtained in China for 2000 years were abolished, a national board of education was or ganized to create a public school sys tem and introduce western courses of study, and today there are kinder gartens, lower and upper primary schools, academies and colleges in every province. In addition to these. there are a large number of agricul tural and technical schools and schools of law and political science. Already China has begun to have trouble over the embezzlement of school funds, so that her progress appears to present the problems of other lands- The article is extremely edifying concerning a spirit made manifest in certain quarters to profit by the almost pathetic eagerness to learn which has at last possessed the Chinese. Ex. FRANCE VS. BRITAIN. CHILD LABOR. It looks very much as if the South, so long reproached for the conditions of child labor, were about to enact uniform legislation. The conference in New Orleans just closed has been notable for the amount of data an alyzed in the effort to get at what would be a model law. Various points of view were presented but James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, was re sponsible for the assertion that the minimum age for the employment of children should be 14 years, because, looking at it economically, child labor was not in reality profitable labor to the manufacturer. It is well that this view can be taken, and on that ground, for there is, of course, the other view that the factory labor is not profitable to the child. The new variant of modern thinkers on the old saying, "boys will be bovs," is "boys will be men." When the South considers her future she has to re member that. In analyzing the French political capacity, J. M. Shotwell, in the March issue of the Political Science Monthly, points out that the French republic has a more consistent rec ord of logically developed reform In the picture of the balloon bridal than the Britons.

C. Mc Allister. He was accompanied by Superintendent Henry O'Malley, of the Federal Fisheries in Washington and Oregon, who had joined the Warden m a visit of inspection to Westport, to look over the land and water facilities in that neighborhood with regard to the proposed estab lishment of a State central hatchery there. Neither gentleman was pre pared to make a decisive statement on the subject, though both were agreed that there was scarcely enough water at any of the points availabte for such a station, and the matter will be gone into further in due time. Warden McAllister, speaking of the existing conditions in the Oregon fisheries, said that the main issues would probably be decided today in Judge Gantcnbein's court, at Port land, when the restraining order late ly issued from that tribunal as against the further official action of the war den and his deputies in their dealings with the fishermen of the Willamette and Clackamas rivers; and that he ex pected a decision in favor of the per-' emptory closing of those streams even though the notice prescribe by the statutes had been faulty as to structure and service, and that such a ruling would practically and in stantly reduce the present trouble to a minimum Mr. McAllister thought the Morn ine Astorian had done him an in justice when it blamed him. recently, for failure and neglert in posting the proper legal notices to close those streams, and claimed that while he was Warden of Oregon, he was not a lawyer, and could not be presumed to be familiar with all the details of the statutes and the myriad require ments involved in them; that'he al ways acted, in matters of doubt, upon the advice of the attorney-general and relied on that officer to construe the various laws and advise him of the essential things to do in carrying them out perfectly. He claimed that he had done all that could be done under the confused conditions sur rounding the business when the legis lature made the first and gravest laches in omitting to include those streams in the joint bill; and from his review of his acts, the Astorian is inclined to believe he has endeavored to cover his full range of duty in the disturbing premises, and has no doubt he will continue to do so; though at the time the strictures ;were made, the assumption was na tural, and logical, that as the head of icy.

At all events, in this par ticular case, he has, apparently, done what he could to mitigate an ugly situation that was deliberately thrust upon him by the men who were poor enough citizens to transcend a law all other men in the State were ob serving in the interest of a fine in dustry.

Standard Oil Company (Incorporated) w 1 f 1 Oregon City, where he went -to secure information relative to fishing on the Willamette river, and ho reports a "complete obstruction of nets and hundreds of fishermen operating them both below and above the falls. A number of Astoria fishermen are there, and nearly every boat makes good catches. There are "tons of the finest Chinook salmon that ever as cended the river, lying on the wharv es awaiting shipment. The bulk of the fish are shipped to Seattle and other Puget Sound points, and sev eral tons were shipped to S. Schmidt & Co.. Astoria. The fish are the Royal Chinook of fine quality, weigh ing from 25 to otl pounds. "While Master Fish Warden Mc Allister has several deputies watching the fishing, no attempt to stop the fishermen are being made. The fish that succeed in getting up the fish ladder to above the falls, are caught by fishermen, who drift down to what is known as the "dead line." a poiin 600 cet above the falls. A fish that escapes the network and teaches the natural spawning beds, is a rarity. "While it was the intention of the legislature to protect the royal Chinook, the fish that has made Oregon famous, inadvertance, a mild word, has resulted in a ruthless slaughter of thousands of tons of salmon, intended for propogation. thereby doing thousands of dollars in damages, that can never be replaced. More hsh have been destroyed during the past few days than all the hatch eries on the coast will replenish in the next two years, and the state of ficials, those to whom has been in trusted the protection of the indus try, are powerless to stay the devas tation and ultimate ruin of the sec ond largest industry in the state of Oregon. The result is a loss of at least $5000 per day to Astoria and the lower Columbia, and i the pri mary cause of the present dull times. This year's experience ought to be an object lesson to the voters, and it is hoped men will be elected to the next legislature competent to make laws tor the portection of, the industries of the state in preference to the propo gation of useless commissions and the avaricious greed of men who are elected to pilfer the state treasury in behalf of selfish' interests." When asked about this report. Warden McAllister replied, in sub stance, that he knew the party allud ed to; that he was up there with him, and went over the route with him; that the man from the lower river was not on the ground long enough to have acquired any such line of par ticulars, because he went there, and left there, with him and he knows, to a fraction, all he could possibly have ascertained, and none of the things alleged were capable of ascertain ment or even of deduction, in the time devoted to the trip- The fisher men do not fish up there in the day time; all their work is done after night, because of the clearness of the waters in 'daylight; and the visitor could not have seen anything save some fishermen angling with hook j and line, from their boats.
