-' The tight between the two Republican
tactions In this county Is being carried
forward at heavy expense. . It costs
money to build up a political machine
and keep It running. A usual, a largo'
part of the expense la. being paid Out ot
the. city, arid county treasuries, so that
the brunt of the battle falls upon the
long-suffering taxpayer. , ; ? :
The, Mitchell faction has control of
practically all of the city, county and
federal patronage, and this powerful
weapon Is being used with great effect.
Scores of active machine workers have
found employment 'in the public service
nd they are all working tooth and nail
for the success of th.e Mitchell faction.
While drawing their pay from the pub
lic treasury and nonHnally in the serv
fce of the city or county, their first alle
giance' Is to the machine. which gave
them their Job--:?-: ..' , ; .- .

become little more than an organised
brigade of political workers. , The force
la larger than ever before In the history
of the. office, the total number of em

adherents of the Mitchell organisation
find employment In .this department, and
all others have been carefully weeded
out. - An Important -part cf the duties of
the men in this department is to. at

the several wards, and they, are marched
In squads to the - meeting- places, ' to
""root" for the machine which put them
on the city payroll. The legitimate work
and sidewalks, for which the taxpayer
support the department, has become a
matter of minor importance.
Another . valuable adjunct of the
Mitchell machine is the sheriffs office,

There are few better political workers
than the policeman who Is imbued with
a lively sense of his obligations to the
machine, and Portland's police force has
always been a strong factor in the pri
maries.. The Mitchell machine has not
that perfect control of the department
which it might have If Chief Hunt were
less Independent than he is, but several
active machine workers ' have - recently
found employment as policemen, and
It is hinted that they were not required
to undergo the-ordea) of the civil service
examinations. -

I have often 'been-. Impressed when
comparing . conditions existing among

; Skill Comes Readily. '
: Manual . training .'' was ' originally
planned for the one purpose of Impart
ing technical skill,' and this It does In a
surprising manner. It . is apt to as
tonish one to think that some of the
finished work hag been done by young
boys. Nor do the boys have to be urged
to do this work. In the T. M. C. A.
manual training school the' boys beg
to be allowed to make up lessons lost
by public holidays, and In the free even
ing school, - under the auspices of the
C. J. W First and Montgomery, boys will
attempt to . work through two periods
during the same evening. . While the
object ' is simply, technical ' skill' and
does not concern Itself primarily with
human motives, still the work is so
thoroughly In line with boyish activity
that It does quite unconsciously enlist
those desires to a r very - great extent.
you can e this lr you watch the little
workers. They are, for the most part,
absolutely : absorbed and quite Uncon
scious of one's presence. Manual train
ing literally means a change of struct
ure, a new birth, a refining and nicer
adjustment Of the bodily powers.
. The principal and teachers ' of the
public school near the C. J. W, manual
training school speak In no uncertain
terms of the influence of the work upon
the lives of the pupils. I have had the
honor and . pleasure of starting 'four
manual training schools for boys and
have had an opportunity of watching the
steady 'reforming Influence of the work.
In each instance fights were frequent,
selfishness and dishonesty In work .were
common. Month by month ' this sub

- The superintendent of Elmlra refor
matory, 'when speaking of the work
among his boy, stated that they mostly
came to his charge too late, the dam
age having teen wrought before 14.
Whatever may be the bait placed for
the boy, whether it be club rooms well
supplied with reading matter and games,
the swimming pool or the finely equipped
workshop, nowever attractive these may
be, unless the Instructors and workers
make a . libera) use of what Henry
Drummond calls 'the greatest thing In

. Chairman T. N. Strong had the fol
lowing to say regarding "Prison Contract
Labor:" - -?
The question of the employment of
ttate and other prisoners has ' been ex
tensively discussed. .
First That justice' to the state and to
the taxpayer requires that ( the convict
should. If possible,, earn the expense of
his maintenance. .
Second That ordinary humanity and a
due regard for the best, Interests of .the
prisoners requires that they should be
made to work and that this work should"
be made as engrossing and interesting as
possible.' . '
Third That the contract system under
which the work of the prisoner Is hired
out at the prison to manufacturers Is
probably - the most lucratlce In Its Im
mediate results to the state of any sys
tem of employing convict labor: but-
. Fourth That it Is the most harmful
system to the prisoner himself, to the
free laborer outside and to the state that
can be adopted. '';
- Fifth That no general system of em
ploying all convicts and prisoners in use
ful work can "be made Immediately and
of.. Itself pecullarlly profitable to the
state. i- '"
Sixth That - convict labor never' be
employed In competition with free labor.
- The main difficulty that .confronts us is
the difficulty of obtaining honest and
efficient .prison administration and man
agement coupled with secure tenure ot
office administration so that large plans
covering many years my be adopted and
carried 'out. . ..'. v.. ;'
1 Presuming by a bold .. flight of the
Imagination that the city of Portland and
Us council and officers and thl state of
Oregon and its legislature and officers
are honestly ' desirous of employing con
victs to the best Interests of the state.
It would not be difficult to devise a
scheme that would accomplish this pur
pose. The city of Portland Is peculiarly
situated and nothing would be easier
than to discard the descredlted old rock
pile and put the men at some work that
would be of some real and permanent
advantage to the city.
Any one who knows of the magto
change that was wrought In the Jefferson
street road from Sixteenth street to the
reservoirs by the relief work that waa
put upon It In the hard winter of 1893
by the city board of charities can ap
preciate how simple and practical a
scheme It would be to employ - prison
labor In the same way.
Heed Sonet Ofttoers. .
Had the state of Oregon JO years ago
established Its prisons at The Dalles of
the Columbia river and there employed
Its convicts on a canal and locks we
might by this time be much nearer to
seeing the Columbia river flowing un
fettered to the sea, and, we might also In
those 30 years have seen some men, the
ruin of whose Uvea has been completed in
dishonest . and Inefficiently conducted
prisons, ; built up iqto honest stalwart
citizens of the commonwealth, and all
with but little. If any, added expanse.
Other states have tried thia experiment
but lacking honest intelligent administra
tion, long tenure of office and freedom
from partisan and political abuse ha v
not been as fully successful as they
should have been. Nevertheless .they
have been sufficiently successful to take
the plan out of the class of visionary
projects and to establish It as an ideal
to work' to.-, ".i - :'.- ' ,x; """ -'

into condition, both in the matter ot
equipment and numbers.' , ! do not be
lieve that the Russians will give up
Port Arthur until they are compelled to,
as possession of that port by the Jap
anese would greatly simplify getting
island soldiers into Manchuria and on
disputed territory. Just so soon as
Japan gets Port. Arthur she will be able
to take the forts along the Talu liver
by sending armies through both Korea
and Manchuria. Russia will - naturally
delay the advance of the Japanese as
much as possible, but she is not likely
to attempt to meet them in force unless
victory seems assured. In 'occupying
the strong strategic point of .Harbin, the
Russian commander will be able to keep
his line of communication Intact for a
long time to come.
FURTHER VIEWS ON
WAR CONDITIONS
(Hearst Speclsl Service.)
(By Biohmond Bearsou Kobaoa.)
Jasper, Ala., Feb.. IS. -Dashing spirit
in the Japanese navy is again ' Illus
trated in the second torpedo boat attack
on fort Arthur. It will be interesting
to learn the full suocess of the dash, as
an indication of the efficiency ot the
wussian aeienses ot the city; also upon
th question whether there are Japan
ese sympathisers in the Russian serv
ice, or the question whether there is a
lack of discipline and efficiency in the
Russian army as well as th navy.
The strategic situation remains un
changed. Interest will be centered upon
ron Arinur, wnicn measure will be
probably affected by the local topog
raphy. Whether the Japanese can .se
cure positions for mounting large guns
and remain outside the fire of Russian
ships is a question. The situation ot
ters many dramatic possibilities for so
dashing efforts by land and sea. It is
Interesting to consider as a matter ot
speculation what would be the strategic
situation in the Orient In event of Euro
pean complications.
In the event of France Jolnlnar Russia.
a French fleet of 840,000 tons could be
thrown into the scene, large enough to
overpower the Japanese fleet, out oft
fleet,
Japanese communications and blockade
the Japanese coast and bring the war to
a conclusion, tne French fleet operating
from 8algon as a base until it had es
tablished its base with the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur. . ...
i This, however, would precipitate a
war alliance between Great Britain and
Japan, by the present British-Japanese
treaty, ureal Britain could . readilv
'T throw into th far east 500.000 tons ot
warship displacement and still retain In
Europe a force adequate tv put Russia
and France on the defensive, placing
about 1,000,000 tons of warships' dis
placement against about 400.000 tons
of French and 150,000 tons of Russian,
or a total of 750,000 tons, which would
not be adequate to save the' Russian and
French coasts from a blockade.
The British could readily checkmate
any move on th part of Franc. From
Hong Kong they could cut off the
French at Saigon, and from 'Wel-Hai-Wel
they could hold Port Arthur at bay
while British operations from India
would divert a large part of Russia and
might etherwts affect Manchuria,
The situation would b a complete
checkmate to any French-Russian move
and Japan would be free to save China
from invasion from the north. Great
Britain preventing invasion from the
southwest However, Germany, if she
should enter and Join Russia and France,
th whole situation would change. With
the addition of, 460.000 tons of German
warship displacement the predominance
would shift to th side of the new triple
alliance, assuming the same average In
