Observant peraona have noticed a-tendency towarda decentralisation In the
, disposition to more factories from large cities to country towmu
r Is-It the beginning of a general movement that will solve the problem of
toe too great growth of the cities and the desertion of the country?
One of "the economic problems that have puscled our social philosophers
has been that Of the Increase In the urban population. It has brought evils,
: msny evils overcrowding of the professions, demand for positions la offices
. and counting- rooms, competition of women' with men, in the avocations that
were once distinctly held by men. ' '. '
: It is conceded that the rush to the cities has brought these evils, and people

'whether or not there are not some features of the labor propaganda that might
be eliminated for the betterment of society. These things must be pondered,
and pondered earnestly.- The right eonctus ion must be reached.
. We who observe what goes on In the Industrial world have some very grave
' issues before us here in Portland and Oregon. We must not make the mistake
of creating- antagonisms when other relationships would be easier to bring to

These are what Portland must have. Else there will be trouble, bitterness.
Injustice, blind following of blind leaders; or, worse, unreasoning following of
leaders that care less for society than for themselves.

apparent why this one has begun. And, regardless of the effect upon organised

WHAT tS GAMBLING?
- If some savant would take the trouble to define the word "gambling," and
' do it ao that the public might understand what is gambling and what is not he
would confer a favor on humanity, and perhaps cause some of us to change or
modify our opinion concerning It It has been denned to be " games of
chance,' and under tfeis,iJetiniUohrTircowr"uintubky he13fha?fne gooT6ld"
' game of seven-up was not a gambling game, because it was not a game of
robanoe, bat one of science. Of course, the term "gambling," In its common
acceptation, applies to or is applied to games played with cards, wheels, etc.,
. Cor valuable stakes.
Yet there are others. The horse race and the pool box Is .gambling" of the
worst and trickiest kind, yet people go to see horse races, and put their money
In the pool box, who would sold up their, hands In horror at the suggestion that
the would play faro, or monkey with the roulette wheel.

harm, or wage their money on the result of an election, yet who earnestly' and

.the grsshoppers and smut let It alone, the price be fair, and that hail, frost and

"BOB" AS JiN ACTOR.
It cannot be denied that '.'Bob-" Fltxstmraona, ex-pugilist was a dramatic
feature of the week, simply because he was once champion fighter in the world's

'V- VVs . A PET fOR NEWPORT '
Jt la expected that King Leopold of Belgium Is to Visit this country in the
near future. It will be lnatruatlve, if not edifying, to watch the American toady,
when his kingship srrtves. Of all Europe's petty sovereigns, he la the vilest. -the
wickedest, and the lowest in the scale of humanity along all lines.
Married to one of the best Of Europe's royal ladles, ha deliberately wrecked
her life. His lack of morals was notorious, his llasona the talk of his subjects
until they becams so frequent, so bestial, that they lost Interest, or became
unspeakable. '" '.' ".' .
But a few days ago his wife found release from him. and from a life, tang
since grown burdensome to her. Death Came to her relief,, and the good and
patient woman folded her tired hands, and no doubt bade farewell to the world
and its worldly troubles with a great deal of satisfaction.. Married against her
will to a man she cared nothing for, sns found herself, neglected, abandoned by
her royal husband, woo found pleasure
filling his noble carcass with beer snd
He wss a drunkard, a roue, a gamblei
obligation of decency that hip posh-on
wife did not end here; but he mingled
uer motntr heart through their children. -; ,
His blood and his example were enough to. debauch any court lils oldest
daughter, Louisa, matto a scandal that was world wide, and is today confined
In a mad hous?. 't ne second, Clementine, la a hopeless Imbecile, and the
mother driven to desperation by the heartless arid notorious acts of the old
"noble" libertine, attempted to free herself from him, and the disgrace of being
his wife, by tring twice through the suicide route to make hint a widower.
Vnfortunately, for her, che failed, and had to pay the penance of a long
life of wretchedness, for the mistake of a loveless marriage. 'A few days
ago, her sentence expired, and the poor, tired woman passed over to the other
side, leaving the pomp of royalty, the glided prison-palace, where her life had
been passed, her villainous old spouse, and her disgraced and crazy children,
if not with pleasure, at least without complaint
She had one child, Stephanie, who was a pure, good child. She married,
without her father's consent of course, for be objected to it an honest up
right man, and has led a blameless life. For this her father' has never forgiven
her, and when death had sealed her mother's lips, and aha came to pay the
last tribute of affection, that beast her father, refused to enter the room where
shs- prayed beslds her mother's coffin.
Then this old bundle of iniquity went into the room where the body of the
woman whose life he had made a bell, lay, at las f In peace, and there prayed
for 25 minutes. When one thinks of it one is forced to wonder why lightning
was created, and so much of it wasted.
Tet this, old moral leper is to visit this country. That he will be feted, and
dined, and wined, goes without saying. That ths Vanderbllta, the Gambrilla
and all that flock ot fashionable harpies will take htm to their hearts and homes,
is a foregone conclusion. ' . .
If not, if among the whole lot of social butterfliee, there, can be found one
woman with enough American blood and spunk in her to snub the old moral
parasite, there will be still hope for the 400, and some alight doubt as to the
truthfulness of Watterson's accusations. ; " ' ' i
RESPECT THE PEOPLE'S WILL, , ,
There is much, talk of Governor Qeer's bid for Senatorial honors. It is not
very impdrtant, in a large sense, whether Mr. Goer is Senator or Mr. Moody, or
Mf. Fulton tr any other man. - The term is but six years and men do not live
forever. ,
What Is Important lsthat the people of Oregon be their own bosses. The
Journal has been surprised at the apathy of the people on this head and it
tends to confirm the politicians Idea that the people are only fit to be voted
on election day and fooled the rest of the time. i 1
A law Is on our statute books which has been struggled for by our people
and which people of other states are still struggling for. It enables them to
nominate their Senators. At the very outset at its first trial, it Is proposed to
nullify this lav, to make it a dead letter and to prove the people of Oregon poor
fools In the bands of politicians. ...-,,:
It is more important that the nominee of the people be 'forced upon the
people's creature, the Legislature, be he Geer or the devil, than that the Legislature-
be allowed to think it can Juggle with the people's will The answers
to this by the regular line Republican managers are curious.
First that the law was not passed In good faith, but was only a Mitchell
tame- t.head ott MjtrodnT This Is a statement which certainly shows
what fools the politicians esteem the people to be. .A'
Second, that the Republican convention did not nominate anyone because
each was afraid of the other-and all were afraid anyone the convention would
be permitted to nominate would hurt the general ticket k ..That is, to say, in
effect the law and the people be damned when it suited the politicians. The
people of 'Oregon are chumps and deserve to wear servile collars unless they
compel their creature, the Legislature, to keep this law alive" and respected.
The Journal thinks ths question is now beyond polities' and involves the
sovereignty of the people to have tuelr will obeyed. This time It seems (by
willful neglect or deflan.ee of the Republican bosses to be Geer. Next time,
if the law is now enforced, not only will no convention dare omit nomination,
but no convention wlU dare nominate any but the best mare- ,
That is the important issue now before the people of this state, if they
will wake up to it
Every member of the Legislature should be made to feel that he digs his
grave in refusing to enforce this law. The Journal is Democratic, but would
rather have Geer than to have the law strangled in its birth. . I '
THE TABASCO COLUMN.

compromise is effected. It 'is almost an
exact copy of the late Samuel J. Tilden's
will, and the courts of. New York very
learnedly decided that any provision in a

the estate was void. The legal fraternity
was not to be curtailed of its rights.

The General Adyisory Board met last
night pursuant to adjournment After
routine business. . Mr. Thoa , Meander
brought before the Beard for considers
Uob, the recent advance In printing rates
in this city, Mr. ; Meander , stated that
he had arrived from Kansas .about five
daye ago with the .intention pf opening
4 printing establishment. -that he had
brought an outfit for the same in his
trunk, psyltg HOT excess baggage there
on. He. had immediately called upon
the Publicity Committee of - the Lewla
and Clark -Fair, and had offered to take
Charge of all the printing for the Fair
for simply the actual cost of material-
Including oil for the press and a reason
able remuneration for- the wear and
tear .of type. ' He had ascertained that
$500 had been' appropriated to advertise
the Fair, and he, being a trained econ
omist from ' Kansas,, could maks ' that
go a long way: In fact, so long away that
the committee could expect returns tin
tbs Fair closed. If it so desired.
IIS, found however, that the committee
did net seem inclined to spend the money
and b believed that they had simply
engineered ' the combination among the
printers, and raise of rates so that they
could hang on to the funds. As for him,
he' would say plainly that if they did not
soon, loosen up he would take his trunk
and move' on to Seattle, and Portland
would have .driven away another great
enterprise "from her midst"
Mr, Uccleberry, who stated that he was
a msmber of the Plumbers' Union, de
fended the action of the printers in rais
ing rates.. He grew quite eloquent - -
"The Exposition Committee," he said,
"has chosen a site. It is lying right out
in the open air, where everybody can go
and see it There is a fine view either
from the boneyard or the crematory. Aa
a plumber, I have examined it profes
sionally, and it's all right All you bavs
got to do Is to prove the fallacy of ths
eld motto that 'water seeks its level' and
get a good plumber, and he'll give you
a LAKE that will do him credit. The
thing to do now Is to stop knocking and
prepare for business, The printers and
the plumbers must all stand together.
Mr. Malarkey says we can have $500,000.
Mr. Banks says a half a million suits him.
Mr., Reed assures us that he .won't kick
at a couple hundred thousand, mors or
lesa Judge McGinn says it goes. The
only one In doubt ie Judge Sweek, and
being a Democrat he's got to be in
doubt It's ths natural stats of the par
ty. Now, when I looked, at the site, I
said to myself, 'What we wanta is drains,
drains and pumps,' and that's what 1
say now, drains and pumps so the print
ers, plumbers and lawyers must stand
together. At the. next meeting . of the
Plumbers' Union helpers" wages will be
advanced to M cents per hour and double
time while they ran back for tools."
Mr. Grlnyun, rising hurriedly, inter
rupted the speaker, saying he was aston
ished that such anarchistic sentiments
should be -expressed In a civilised com
munity. The printers were attempting to
bold up the Publicity Committee. Hs
was not opposed 'to advertising and had
no objection jo some of jthe Fair money
being expended that' way, -hut the main;
effort should be to return to the con-'
trlbutors as much of their money as pos
sible, so that when the next Centennial
comes around there would be no difficulty
in again raising funds. Hs thought some
very effective advertising could be done
inexpensively, .
"As to newspapers," he said, "they've
got to come out and they're glad to have
stuff to fill their columna They'll be
glad to put in all we want for paases, and
any editor will spend $40 to come here,
if he can only get through the gate free.
But." he continued, "here is our police
force. We ait know they have nothing
in the world to do, except to walk up
and down and look as if they didn't
know anything and occasionally te club
a citizen to prove it why can't they be
made use ofT
"They don't remove rubbish from the
Streets! they walk right under awnings
less than seven feet high; I've seen
them deliberately stop and examine
vicious 'posters on street fences, and
they are. never directly on the spot at
the moment of a hold-up now, I repeat
why not make them useful T
"Now,- I don't mean, of course, that
we should paste show bills, with pictures
of the site, for instance, on .their backs
though that might be a good idea when
they head processions but I would pro
pose to furnish each officer with a mega
phone (and the Chief with two) and let
each one stop at every corner of his
beat night and day, and make some
such- announcement as- this:
4 'Hear ye, bear ye, hear ye. The IMS
Fair will occur In this city-in 1906, .d'ye
mfndt "ye-mhw?'--D'ye -mind t!r
"Of course,' strangers will hear this
aa well as citizens and the news will
spread besides we'll kind of know where
the policemen are."
This proposition was enthusiastically
applauded, and Miss TenrUe Tongue
moved that a committee be appointed
consisting ' of two members from the
Chamber of Commerce, two from the
Board of Trade, two from the Civic Im
provement League, two from the Tax-
Payers' League, and nine from the Ad
visory Board to call upon the Fair Pub
licity Committee to present this sugges
tion as to advertising, as well. as any
other 'suggestions that might occur to
any of them. The motion was carried,
after which the following resolution was
presented and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It is the purpose of the Gen

At this first convention It was several
days before the delegates all got In. In
the meantime there was much wire-pulling.
Already distant rumbling could be
heard of the approach of tne great wa
which was for four long years to delugs
the land with blood and almost dismember
the great Republic.
Two new Senators and a Representative
to Congress were to represent at Wash
ington the then to be young state, and
you may be sure there were then aa now,
those who were willing to make the sac
rifice for ths country's good. The Union
hotel and Bennett house were the two
leading hotels and the centers of activity.
As the veterans of the Indian and Mexi

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
At letter written sixty-one years ago
brings forcibly to view the change in
medical practice which has occurred dur
ing that period. The writer Was ths 9-
year-old daughter of a clergyman, and
she describes how the doctor dealt with
her father In a case of sore throat First
they'TSted him, - the- next day they gave
him calomel and Jalap, and the third
da'y they dosed him with a powerful
emetic. The effect upon the good clergy
man Is shown -in a letter from him
dwelling upon the unsatisfactory state
of his spiritual t condition and rejoicing
that life la short' so that the end at the
most will soon come. There is uncon
scious humor in the apparent absence of
any suspicion that the doctors had any
thing to do with bis state of spiritual
gloom. As hs lived 45 years longer and to
the age of 85, it la apparent that he had
a constitution which was too much even
for the old school doctors.

Charles A. Dana's representative "at
the front" during the war of the Rebel
lion was Joseph Howard, who once wired
to the paper an account of a battle, be
ginning aa follows: " -
"To God bs all ths glory! Mlns eyes .
have seen the work of the Lord; and the
cause ot the righteous hath triumphed."
This exordium went on at some length,
and then, switched Into the following
statement ot fact; .
"The Army of the Potomac has tri
umphed, Ws have won a great victory."
A few days later Howard received a
note from Dana ! reading as follows: -
"Hereafter, in sending your reports,
please specif y .the.aumber of the hymn,
and thus save telegraph tolls." Nsw
