' THEY MADE IT as easy as they could for Presi dent McCurdy o( the Mutual. First they cut , his salary in half, which he gracefully accepted, and then encouraged by his - complaisancy they "ac cepted" his resignation, Now he is out of a job. , It is given out that this circumstance will tend to reestablish public confidence. It may "tend" to do so but it will not get much farther than-that. This is only one of many radical changes' that must be made in the policies of the insurance 'companies before public confidence is reestablished. Among them, the companies must be segregated from the trust caynpanies which formed such a convenient annex for the manipulation of the insurance funds for the benefit of the moguls and their friends. ; , Indeed it is not likely that the panifs will ever again cut such a swath as they have in the business, of the country. Other financial centers have learned of what vast advantage these funds are and they wij not longer rest content to have them monop olized in such vast proportion . in New York. In the meantime out of-it will be evolved nomical and business-like system insurance more closely within the should erTjoy its advantages.' Nothing that has been de veloped has shaken public confidence in the principle of life insurance however much the methods of doing the business may have come in for just ANOTHER OP OREGON'S OPPORTUNITIES. IT COSTS THE PEOPLE too much to get somebody into office. Elections are too expensive, j They cost too much not only in cash but otherwise. Are the office-getterswprth.whjitJejayior-then? Is-not our whole system too complicated as well as too costly employing more men than are needed and getting out of them very much less than we pay. for? , .' , When one contrastl the orderly, economical and business-like methods of the private corporation with the cumbersome and costly method employed in the public service he is -simply a mated at the ox resmis orainaruy secured, wnnejine science I gov ernment is old in certain, senses it is still in its infancy. Take, the average county, c,it.T jnd school district govern ments and see how much common ground they, cover. In doubling up in this wsy the expense is naturally in creased, r. .The tendency throughout the country at this .time, is in the. direction of bringing to the front qualified .men who aim to give the best possible service fof the money received. vTbis is due to a growing political independ ence on the jjart Qf the people. It must gradually lead to a modification in the cost to the aspirant for office and as the Standard of officeholders is raised and the individual responsibility more keenly felt it is quite likely that the public service will be improved in the re spects in which it is herein criticised. Such strides have been made in the last few years that it will not be, sur prising if some results are attained even in that direc tion. With the tendency in Oregon to return political power back to the people, so that they have a securer hold on their public servants than ever before,- it is not tinlikely.that in this respect Oregon will lead the coun try, for with 'the legislation" now on its statute books it gives greater promise of farreaching public reforms than any other state in the sisterhood. - -.'-" Polk on Bribery. ; ; From an Address to -Kansas City High .

As a matter of fact the" plan is misconception of the problem to be solved. v .., ' .; ' ' . . ' - The suggestion is in britt that a canal be constructed IS miles in length, extending southward froni the Co lumbia river, just above its mouth, to Necamcum creek and through the creek to the ocean. It is proposed that a breakwater shall be constructed so as to ensure smooth water at the mouth' of the canal-.;; Vessels would no longer cross the bar at the mouth of the Columbia but would avoid it altogether by a' flank movement through the canal.. : ' ; fact is completely ignored by Gov it Is alone sufficient to render his proj This fact is that the Columbia river bar not caused chiefly by the deposit of silt brought down by the river current,' but' Is 'the 'result of avwv dkion which prevails all along the coast and which would be as serious a factor at the- mouth of the Necanicunr as at the mouth of the Columbia. The ocean currents which sweep along the coast carry in suspension vast quantities of sand. Where the currents strike an ob stacle the sand is deposited, forming shoals or bars. jetty at the mouth of the Columbia is two-fold: .First, to confine the river to a fixed chan nel, and second, to act as a barrier against the drifting sand which sweeps tip the coast The powerful current of the Columbia is an invaluable aid to the work of the jetty. AThe scour of the current maintains the depth of the channel which, , without it, would soon become! . i -. ,' Governor Semple's plan is based on the assumption that the bar is caused chiefly by the deposit of silt the river and he does hot take into ac count the drifting sands of the ocean which are the great factor in the situation. The attempt to deepen the mouth of the Necanicum creek. would at once encounter this formidable difficulty that as fast as the channel was ex cavated it would be filled by the ocean" sands. There would be no scour by a powerful river current,' as there is at the mouth of the Columbia, to aid in keeping the channel open and only by unremitting work could it be kept in a navigable condition. ;.. ' : The people of the Pacific northwest are profoundly in terested in the completion of the government work at the mouth of the Columbia, along the lines on which it has been commenced, v The time is critical, for only by united effort can the continuance of the work be assured. Makeshift substitutes for the carefully considered plans of the government engineers are to the last degree in opportune and undesirable Jr: -' r SYMPTOM OF REFORM.

The Julian calendar, which became a Russian institu church, was established Jby the first and greatest Caesar' in 45 B. C and remained in force until reformed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. . The new and true Gregorian calendar has since been accepted by all the world save that part owing allegiance to the sweeping away of an, old calendar and political order has been seen be fore.
