' Th proposition to establish in this state nd city boards of arbitration for the settje- . ment of disputes between labor and capital has been submitted to the Portland Board of Trade, and has already attracted much se rious attention. The plan under considera tion waa proposed by P. H. Scullln of Seat tle, who brings with him strong endorse ments from every class In his home com munity. The arguments which he presented In support of his project made so strong an Impression that the special committee of th Board of Trade, to which the matter was referred, has already prepared a favorable report, heartily approving a thorough trial of th system. From the theoretical standpoint, arbitra tion of industrial disputes Is' the soundest philosophy. The trend of the times is to ward the peaceable solution of all !bntro versies, both among nations and among In dividuals. The most successful lawyer Is the one who makes it hla practice to establish tJi rights of his clients by amicable negotia tion, rather than by incessant resort to the courts. But in practice the use of arbitration as a regular means of reconciling the conflicting interests of labor and capital can become successful only when it has the support of strong and widespread popular approval The people must be educated to a realization that arbitration la no mere fad of theorists and dreamers, but a practical, common-sense solution of the greatest Industrial problems with which the country is confronted. They must learn that through arbitration lies the road to peace, and that it affords escape from the 'fierce conflicts of labor and capital which now cost the country millions of dol lars every year. To make the plan a success it must have the adherence of not only the employers and the employes, but of the great body of cit izens who are commonly onlookers in the In dustrial wars. Public sentiment must be powerfully enlisted In favor of arbitration to ensure its permanence as an institution anrll to give it the stability to withstand the at tacks of the selfish, the unscrupulous or the prejudiced. - The Board of Trade committee haa wisely recognized this necessity and its report calls attention to the fact that if the plan of arbi tration is to be tried. It must have not merely the passive assent but the active support of the community. A campaign of education must be undertaken, to bring home tri tho people the advantages of the system. They must be taught to realize the vast benefits that will accrue to the body politic when business and trade nre no longer paralyzed by strikes and lockouts, and when the differ ences of labor and capital nre no longer at tended by riots, bloodshed and the destruc tion of property. The people of Oregon should welcome the efforts of Mr. Srullin to introduce systematic arbitration and should give to his sugges tions the most careful consideration. ecutlve committee is a mere subterfuge, which should deceive no one. But a much more significant feature of the scheme is that It affords one- more evidence of the inevitable conflict which la Impending between the Mitchell and the Simon-Republicans. Needless to. say, the Simon faction will have no representation upon the pro posed executive committee. It Is to be a council of war, designed to wage hostilities even more against Simon than against the Democrats, and the struggle promises to be a desperate one, Wlth all the power of the county committee centered In this council, Senator Mitchell will be prepared to do bat tle for the retention of his power in this county. "You didn't make your thousand out of them, then?" observed the senior clown. "No? Tou wait. I know dem peega. I tek my six hundred 'en I wait n pretty soon Barker he come back In a day or two en' he say, 'What kind of bleeding swine you sell me ch? Dey do nothing only eat en" fight en' squeal.

I wait again, en' blmeby Barker come en' say, 'Do you want a Job, Frenchy?' "I say, 'I am not particulate, but I do not work for less dan a hondred a week " 1 try you a week wld 'dem,' he say, but I tell him I do not work for less dan four week. He swear plenty, but at las' he come off de perch en" I make my t'ousan.' Den I kveet, but dem peegs will not work for hees man. No, I am alone, me. But Barker would not geef me my hondred dollar Job. He waa mad. Den he say, 'What will you geef me for dose blame peegs T I say. 'I geef you two hondred and feefty dollar. I am seek of peeg, but I geef you dat en' not one darn cent more, by t'ousan' t'under. He say well It does not mattalre what he say. He was angree." '1 know what Barker would say," Interjected the senior clown. "I waa with him one season." "He went away, but I wnit en' I wait, en' w'at you s'pose dat miserable do, eh? He sella dose peeg to de pork butcher for two dollar each. An I lofe dose peeg lak a brorer." "Seems to me you acted as if you might bt some kin to them," said the senior clown.

Since a Philadelphia grocer was caught PREPARING FOR WAR For several months local Republican poli ticianss have had under consideration the plan of establishing a committee to super sede the County Central Committee, and to assume control of the county machine. The promulgation of the plan was ac companied by the statement that it would terminate the active interference of Jack Matthews in local politics, and that in future the new body would exercise all the powers which he ha hitherto been permitted to wield. Many members of the party are ex tremely dissatisfied with the Matthews regime, and these representations were held out to them in the hope of allaying their dis- selling green tomatoes which he had painted content and restoring that harmony which The layman, Ignorant of the niceties of Judicial argumentation, unlnstructed in the logic of the courts, asks for only brief space in which to set forth his analysis of the Judge Lochren decision in the Northern Se curities merger case. Somewhere in the recesses of his memory, the layman finds that one of the intentions of the anti-trust law now on the statute books Is to prevent restraint of trade. Com petitjon between venders of any given com modity or between solicitors for the per formance of a service Is necessary to the open and free scope of trade. To merge two competing railroads is to put a stop to com petition. Therefore, to merge two competing roads Is to restrain trade, as' the law defines "trade," applying the word to all activities commprcial or industrial for which compen sation is to be rendered. Another view to be taken by the ignorant layman is that James J. Hill, president Qf the Northern Securities Company, Is the chief exponent of the Idea of eliminating compe tition. Competition he declares to be waste ful. He openly pronounces for combinations of railroads, for the reason that combination obviates that waste. He puts forth these arguments In a score of Interviews and offers them as the soundest doctrines of eco nomics. In the desire to embody his dleas on elimination of competition, he forms the Northern' Securities Company, freely saying at the beginning that that Is his Intention. The issue is brought into court, and Judge Lochren wisely tells the nation that the Northern Securities Company is not in re straint of trade, which is the same as say ing that Mr. Hill has failed in his endeavor to eliminate competition, thereby leaving no excuse for continuing the Northern Secur ities Company in existence. If Mr. Hill was right in his avowed belief In the openly admitted design of the North ern Securities Company, to elimlnUle compe tition, rnd the Judge Is right in saying that it does not eliminate competition, then Judge Lochren In kindness to Mr. HU1 should have destroyed the company, declaring against It. However, these intricacies of legal inter pretation are beyond the layman's compre hension, and that is probably the reason he fails to understand the decision of the Daniel come to Judgment for the salvation of the railway magnates. IN THE KAN8AS WHEAT FIELDS. "Well, this Isn't what It Is cracked up to be," writes a college boy from the Kansas wheat fields,, "and Harold would have confessed himself all In and come home to mamma inside of two days after starting If he hadn't been worse afraid of the Joshing of you devils than of blistered paws. But say, Willie, don't you believe that story about a shortage in the world's bread crop. I know better, for I pitched "enough of the blamed stuff to make two crops of world's breadstuff. "And, Willie, there Is another thing you can disabuse your festering intellect of. Tou can't spoon with these country girls with the Joyous freedom that you read about. We have a roly-pojy girl here.

She whacked me on the side of the head with a fist like a ham, and don't you donbt It, Willie, she meant evWy word of it. "I get $2 a day and found.' 'Found' means that the old man comes to your downy couch at 3 In the morning and, finding you asleep, whoops you out to feed the horses. By the time the horses are fed we are called to breakfast. Did you ever eat pie at breakfast? Well, we have pie for breakfast every other morning. It seems to be' th Idea out here If you have pfe you can't complain at any other Indignity. And every pie we have had so far is made out of raisins. Now, don't get It into your head that raisins wOn't mhke good pie. They do. "After breakfast we hie us away to the field and cut wheat until the fat dame waves a tablecloth out of the window to tell us that dinner Is ready. Then we eat and go out and cut more wheat, and the old boy keeps us at it until it gets too dark to see. But, Willie, the way you can sleep after you have had a day like that! Tou go dead that's all about it. "I figure that I will get home with about $30 to the clear.

"Bravery is difficult to analyze." said a speculative man the other day. "I know of some men who are brave under certain circumstances and cowardly under others. To me the bravest man is he who is naturally timorous and who overcomes his nerves by the force of his will. There are In history numerous Instances of grea,t warriors who have had to dominate a natural timidity in the face of danger. Look out for the man who has will enough to do this. He will become more daring and energetic than men who are naturally gifted with calm nerves and a seeming Insensibility to the sensation of fear. Peter the Great and Frederick the Great turned tall and ran when they first went upon the field of battle, hut they returned to the charge and eventually' became ab solutely callous to the thought of danger. Ordinarily the idea of the turbulent Peter is that he was a man who never felt fear. In fact, even today there is a controversy among his biographers as to his courage. There is no doubt, however, that when the soldiers of his sister Sophia marched upon the camp he lost control of himself absolutely, fled in his nightclothes to a place of safety, was in such a condition that he was unable to give any commands to his officers, and eventually sought refuge In a convent. Tet this was the man who afterward astonished all Europe by his military intrepidity and by acts of personal courage. One biographer analyzes Peter's character in this, fashion: Peter has passed through a terrible experience in his boyhood, and waa in addition constitutionally timid. According to the biographer, he showed this by his lack of calmness and by the unnecessary acts of violence of which he was guilty at times. A constitutionally brave man is calm, being rather inclined to gentleness until the occasion calls for violence. But as Peter developed, his indomitable will gained control over all the weak Impulses of his nature, and he was then able to face any danger without flinching." New Orleans Times-Democrat. . A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN. "A young friend of mine," said Senator Joseph W. Bailey, "married, not long ago, a woman of SO years. She was rich and ugly; he was handsome and poor. "The day after their wedding I met the bride and groom on a Pullman train, traveling West. The groom went Into the smoking compartment with me, and we lighted up. Ha smoked gloomily. He was silent a long while. ""Well, Jack,' I said, 'so this Is your honeymoon, eh?" "He smiled grimly. 'Don't call it my honeymoon,' he said. It's the harvest moon with me.' "Baltimore Post. has been so conspicuously absent from Re publican councils in Multnomah County; This new governing body. It Is announced, is to be chosen by the county committee.

A fool and his money are soon margined. It's mighty comforting to have a thin wife when you've got to take a long drive with her. , . A man doesn't care to have cooking schools run In his house; he wants graduates there. Some men haven't any more practical sense than to think they did a clever thing to get married even after they have done it.

This brutal truth only applies to men after they turn 35. Under this age, and frequently over It, the golden key which unlocks the shut door is sympathy. Not bright eyes, golden hair, rosy cheeks, trim waist, good temper, though all these help; but the one thing which is enough without any of these charms and without which they are usually of no avail Is sym pathy. , I used to wonder once upon a time bw it was that one of the plainest girls I knew had . on an average four proposals a year, while others who were dashing, stylish and far more accomplished never got one. Then one day I saw her with a man, and I knew at once how it was. She had brown eyes, gentle, spaniel-like eyes, and all the while he was talking she kept them fixed jpiihls face with an expression of breathless in terest. - He was talking about the trouble he had had In business, owing to his partner being a man of violent temper, and the worry his typewriter has been; It wasn't at all inter esting, and he was obviously . talking becaus& -he wanted to get it "off his chest," not with any idea of amusing or interesting his companion. ' Most girls would have been horribly bored, and would have yawned discreetly or mad an ir relevant remark about another girl's hat, but she listened with what the novelists cal "her heart in her eyes," and I'm sure if he had talked to her about the statistics of the Boer War she would have listened with Just th same air of absorption and regarded him with Just the same eloquent eyes. It was the keynote of her individuality to be Interested in what interested others to try and understand their thoughts and their feelings, to enter into their trivial woes and to rejoice over their triumphs. She could no more help it than she could help breathing, she had no thought of coquetry, and when one and all they begged her to give them that exquisite sympathy for life as they al ways did she was cut to the hearf when it came to the inevitable refusal, and felt angry with herself for not having seen the inexor able consequences in time to avert a declara tion. Yes, it Is the one. straight road to a man's heart, be he dark or fair, tall or short, fat or thin, young or old; he is like a sun flower turning to the sun when he encoun ters the warm influence of human sympathy. It isn't as easy to sympathize as it sounds. First of all, it means being able to look at things from another person's point of View. Then it means actually identifying on', self with their troubles and Joys It tneana put ting selFtnd the things which Interest and concen self . Into the background and keep ing them there.

It was with malice aforethought that th captain told the self-satisfied young man to go forward. The indifferent girl was balancing herself on the end of the bowsprit and did not even look up as the man began: "I thought I would come and talk to you you look lonesome." "Lonesome on a sailboat?" exclaimed th girl, then quoted, "It is better to be lonefy, than to be bored.' " This heavy charge missed its mark and the girl decided to try bird shot "It was good of you to come forward Just to enter tain me," she said. "I thought you would own up." "Yes," continued th girl, "so many men . are so thoughtless that they don't seem to realize how happy they can make us." "I know it. I think that is one reason I get along so well with women I understand them." The girl nearly fell off th bowsprit. Re covering her equilibrium, she said, inno cently: "A man who understands womei does not need to worry about his popularl But I should think he would have to be ful not to let them fall in love with him." "Down home tho girls in three different crowds used to invite me to everything they In small towns," the girl Interrupted, young men are like strawberries in winter tMy may be small and green and measly, but the girls will take them Just because they are scarce."
