PORTLAND, OREGON, '. THE; OREG O.N S UNDAY , JO URN A L C..MCK90N PUBLISHED ; BY JOURNAL -PUBLISHINO CO. JNO. P. CARROU. THE INTERESTING KAISER. MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BRAINS. , : . HAT- M EN haver -larger- brain -th an -women.ron the average, is a well ascertained and Undisputed fact It is also true, according to the weight of Authority, as the lawyers say, that, men's brains are a little larger than women's even after taking into con sideration men's larger bodies that is, men's brains in proportion to the weight of their bodies as compared with women, are still a little heavier. Men's 'size as to women's is as 100 to 93; their brains, as to women's are as 100 to 9tt' f,f -CiU -- -v-.-l'1:J.:t':';..-But it does hot' necessarily follow that ' the average man has better as well as more brains than he average woman. A canary bird knows more and can be taught more in some ways than a mule. Men's bodies have' been developed to exceed women's by greater physical exercise, by being as a rule the breadwinners, and so too their, brains, through many generations, have been en gaged in more conflict, exercise and exertion, and so have become larger than women's, but the brains of the sup posedly gentler sex may have in the meantime developed a finer-fibre. As a logician man is undoubtedly the su perior animal, but in morality, in reverence, in intuitive concepts, in endurance; of adverse r circumstances, and adaptation thereto if. unavoidable, - the woman Is un doubtedly as a rule man's superior, ; V i ? ;'; ; f ' Tradition, if not reliable history, fella of tunes and races when the woman was the superior in even physical strength, and of Amazons who were fierce combatants, in war, and even now in places, as In Abysinnia, the fe male is the stronger and dominating creature in a dif ferent sense from which she is so among us but while these have become, exceptional or rare cases,' it is not to be hastily concluded that the male is mentally as he is physically the superior creature. . ; - ?' ..i. Another, point is to be considered.- Brains should be compared not .with mere avordupois but with effective weight, eliminating mere fat It has been found that in man the proportion of muscle to fat is 100 to 43, while in wenian the-proportion-is "100 to 70, the relative brain weight being, as stated, 100 to 90. ' So from "this it ap pears that while man has brain at 100 to do the work of active tissue at 100, woman has a brain at 90 to do the work .of active tissue at 70 a big percentage prepon- ecrancc oi Drain in ue lemaie to perioral ail ooaiiy tunc jions. '-; .:'.. r --- ;""-';';' ' V . So we don't think the men have very much to boast about or crow over in the matter of brains, as compared with women. At least we are willing to concede rather than argue about it, that women, all things considered, are in the matter of brains, fully men's equals. ; V : : v A NOBLE BAND OP WORKERS. s t HE POLICY tof preventing disease has "taken y l4i(nii Vnlrl 0t tit Iw... .4 m .( ...... sentatives of whom spent the past week in this city.,,-The same philosophy is extended to the domains of morals and humanitarianism by. the National Con vention of Charities and Correction.

With his ' ' gun and 'sword and pistol" he moves about hia empire I . and beyond, and struts and puffs bimselt up, as saying, . ' In military aense: "I am Sir Oracle, and when I bark lei no dog' ope hia snbntli.".. v?,' A l -v" ' ' " .The- kaiser has Jititle to consider, himself aomebody 'i cl. conseojtence, no doubt He is the emperor of one of - the great powerv the ruler of a great people; He has maintained his high position strongly, and with pardoh- able pride of race position 'and powefc ' Both as emperor - and as wan he ia an interesting personage. J Yet it looks to the world in general as if, in common parlance, he not ' infrequently makes a fool of himself. : He poses as a ...greaa. war-lord, -and seems to be poking and -prodding around for some excuse to get into a. war, so that his : great military power can be displayed, to the awe of the -wprlLHetushea around with a chip on his shoulder, hoping aome inferior - nation,' - preferably) France, will knock-it off.'fHe seeks in spVcUcular ways to impress the werrld with his greatness nd hia valor. ":. ' a Really sympathizing with Rjissia the kaiser could not ; become its ally because-France was aoyand as soon as ' it was perceived that Japan -was the -victor he rushed iff - great onrpuver to Morocco and sought sr quarrel with '- France because that country had made a friendly treaty with' England.- He haa taken a high tone on different occasions with England; knowing that-England was tired of war, and except as to' navahatrength was in poor con dition to go to war. And now, there being a controversy between Sweden and Norway, he posts over to Stock ' holm, many of his .battleships to follow, presumably to become the arbiter of that dispute and to dictate terms and conditions to the Scandinavians, with whose affairs he haa properly no inore business than haa King Edward . '-, of. England.' i-y vv.'' -J --Not that all thi la merely for how rld tp gratify the emperor's vanity. .There is method in. bis madness, and he doubtless means to serve notice aa frequently as pds sible on the other powers that the German. junp ire is and , ,must be considered the really leading nation in power . and prestige" of Europe, and respected as' such. ""He . seeks to weaken France here, England there, and other - powers if excuse arises, so that in the balance of power b will be the greatest single makeweight. So if there is m any serious trouble between Sweden and Norway, ft will be he, rather than any other personage, ho- will 'decide what shall be done, so .that these countries, or the'win- , ner in their quarrel,' win thenceforth be 'in, a measure bisl proteges and allies, and peculiarly within the- sphere of '.. his influence.'

The ' state made provision, rightly enough, to extend its road " from Celilo falls to the Big Eddy, thus covering the river obstructions, but no more. : In this way The Dalles re i ceived.no particular benefit, for the boats engaged in 'i- that aervice would proceed up the ' river beyond The Dalles .ad take on their freight from the. railroad ter- minus. The building of the road from the Big Eddy to .U' The Dalles is no great undertaking." -The city owns the ( s v whole water front so that there "would" be little or no ob 1, atacle to securing an :' inexpensive right-of-way. This ' would land the shipments which came down the river-to f, Celilo in boats over the railroad to The Dalles and thus ;.. confer large benefits upon the city. ( Besides, in this way att independent outlet would be provided for the Great . Southern which ia now built from The Dalles to Dufur - ; and which it is proposed to extend .further inland. As matters now. stand its only outlet is1 over the O. R. & "N. with which it makes connection above The Dalles. 'With the new road built it could lie extended "under the " O. R. & N. right-of-way to a connection with the ex ; tension which The Dalles people propose to build and in . " Jh way secure for itself an independent outlet to the : '-.. river.'-'' ' ... ' : ;- iThe Dalles people should let no grass grow under their . . 'feet in, the present enterprise but should push it as rsp "'. idly w possible to completion. , ; FROM GALLOWS TO GLORY. ; yiif.CCORpING to Reverend Mr. St Pierre, the Ore ' A on penitentiary chaplain, murderer Lsuth, who ; .: executed Thursday, djed a sincere, happy f and complete Christian, and one report credits the chap lain--n very good and useful man with saying that no person who ever died was better prepared to go to Heaven. - We suspect and hope that in this remark he was misquoted, though that Lauth, like many other mur derer! before him, died a believer in salvation through the Christian-religion may well be credited. It is not - for tis to say that the Christian religion may not be ef ficacious" to save even 'a murderer, yet the theory, if it be entertained and taught, that such a malefactor, usually a person of a low degree of intelligence as well as of spir- - itualiry, can drop from the' gallows into an eternal home of felicity, while- perhaps hi moral and virtuou but doubting victim, deprived of life without warning, must suffer eternal or prolonged misery, is contrary to the very elements of common aense and every natural or ac quired idea of justice in the human mind. -' .1 ' t , 1 We make no criticism of the administration of spiritual consolation to condemned murderers; we know the ' preachers and priests and chaplains are actuated by. high and, holy motives! we pretend to- no knowledge, of jthe future, but we cannot and will hot think, except with re pugnance and repudiation,' of a redhanded murderer! in tlory and his innocent victim Jn torment. Is not the sal r;tion theory in such cases carried entirely. too far?, T IT IS" NOT college professor, but the secretary of the Cleveland Humane society, who has advanced . the theory that bad men are better Jn warm than in cold weather. He bases his theory on the alleged fact that the demand for the society's aid for abused '.wives falla off ,90 per cent in summer as compared with winter. The aecretary, Mr. Ricksecker, says-there4 is' more misery on account of the badness of men in November, and .De cember than in any other two months which is curious if true, for this Is soon after the harvest season 'and in eludes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays but he is sure that with the coming-of warm, weather a Tar less number of wives come seeking for aid or imploring that their husbands be made to support them,r end that there are far fewer cases of desertion, . . vt. : !L This might be explained on the theorjrbat it fa-uot only easier to tina remunerative employment out easier to live at small expense in the summer than' in the winter. There ia less demand in summer upon the perhaps scant stock of patience ana endurance of people of low degree, intellectually and morally, but Mr. Ricksecker ' carries this theory a little farther thus: "I have an idea that the primary reason Jot this is to be found in the uplifting and rejuvenating influence of June and ample sunshine. I may be accused of spinning fine theories, but this is my honest belief. In the winters it is cold, life is only maintained by a hard struggleand the struggle for mere or those that would deDauch the children are held to at net accountability. -';.- '-.v , ., . - i-j -JZZ, Much of what we call viciousness in children is simply misdirected energy. They are bottled up and hemmed and hedged in. by. rules and regulations the significance of which they do not understand. - Then immediately they are punished and humiliated leaving behind a rank ling sense of injustice for which the state sooner or later pays the penalty in careers of crime. But we are not only growing,.g(viser in our point of, view but there are coming to the front men and women , who understand these . things better and for the very love of the rising generations are devoting to the cause their time, money ana experience. ; 7 j,V -- In the general impulse in the right direction which the state has been- experiencing for several years past Ore gon' has now got into line in its juvenile court. Judge Fraser haa taken hold of the matter with intense serious ness and in a very short space of time has produced some results that even 'now are gratifying but im mensely more so at, indicative of what can and will .be done in the same direction. The work has already jus tified itself but the impetus which it will receive from the session of the national association and the many dis tinguished and experienced men and women now gath ered here will carry it far beyond what could otherwise be hoped for it. No body of citizens could be more' wel come to Portland for hone is engaged in a mole noble or inspiring humanitariarTand patriotic work. 1 t RAILROAD BUILDING IN EARNEST. HE EXTENSIONS oi the Elgin branch to Joseph , ; and the letting of contracts to complete the Ri- paria gap to Lewiston are in line with what we hope .and. believe JiJhe, new. and broader, policy xf, the O. R. & N. under, a local man who. thoroughly under stands the local conditions. 'The first-named extension open a particularly fiae stretch of country that in some respects nas reacnea.a remaricaDie siage. ox aeveiopment considering the lact of transportation facilities.' But this will be as nothing' compared with what will be shown when the road gets into working order.' The building of the Riparia road was inevitable, for the unnatural con ditions that stood' in the way could not always be main tained. One other extension, will bc'made, that! from Shaniko to Bend, and we venture to ay will tn every way justify the highest expectations of its projectors. The grestest of all movements that could be made and the one which, would bring the greatest benefit to the state would be an 'east and west line through the state to tap the whole inerior and give if the advantage of good markets where all the products could readily be disposed of at good prices.- But now that a start has been made we may hope for many things that a short time ago seemed unattainable. ,'T" 'T I-:. ? ,','""' ;" -v ,'.'.

LORIDA has been in existence for a good long most beautiful of starlight iid sunlit seas, the -shallow channels dug out of the coral reei -,tie eastern keys deadening the , shock of tie ocean tidrms and making travel not alone comfortable but aafe. . Down at the very tip of the peninsula is Key West, famoua in story and legend but whose glory had largely departed to Tampa after the close of the Spanish-Amer ican war. Out of. communication with the rest of the continent except by boat and cable the town is mae up chiefly of cigar-makcra auppiemented by winter tourists and sightseers,. Dig a few feet below the surface of the coral rock on which it stands and salt water is reached. Therefore all the water drank in the. town is manufac tured there. The outlook for the famous old town was growing steadily worse year after year, but now it prom ises to take on a ' great boom- .' Mr " Flagler has de termined to build a railroad. 154 miles' in length from Miami to Key Vest The cost of it, will be enormous, for over its whole length it will bebuilt from island to island, one point requiring a bridge seven miles in length that, will cost prodigiously.': It is proposed to make, of Key West a real railroad and ship terminal to command and dominate the Cuban trade. Shops and. dock and drydocks will therefore be built at great outlay ao that the old town is likely soon to some into its own. Its im portance, as a strategical point cannot be overestimated but it haa remained for private enterprise to make it fully available. V?? '". :-; ' ''.'";.
