WORKERS IN DEMAND.
N" EVER;, before was" there o;
X great a demand for labor in
; , this" country. " Never, before
'waa common unskilled labor so eag
erly sought for, nor offered so high
wages. It : is - an era of tremendous !
development of unparalleled ' indus
trial -activity. Many hundreds of
miles of railroads arebeing built
Great irrigation projects" are . under
way. The amount of building, in
both jeityiand country ."eclipses all
previous records". Railroads cannot
get enough cars. The steel mills can
not fill orders. The lumber mills re
crowded" with work. and. new ones
are going' into operation every" day.
The harvests are becoming greater,
and. in spite of improvedmachinery
require a great army of men. ' Thou
sands more men than ever are needed
In the grearfotestS. There is more
opportunity than ever in the mirnss.
Factories of all. kinds are becoming
more numerous, and increasing their
output, requiring more hands. Cities
" Vre impTovingTandTreedTnen-to carry
on the worki ' The country is de
veloping, and needs tens of thousands
more willing workers. In no country
on earth Ts all this true as in the
United States. - It is indeed a great,
glorious and , prosperous country, de-
pite some evUsto te corrected, some
reforms to be brought about. lThe
American infant of today who lives to
be an old man will see great'things
- such a nation as the world until lately
never dreamed of, and even now can:
net realize.-- H -: " ?

i; ' EXPORTS OF MEATS.
lOREIGNERS consume a great
-deal of American meat and
will continue to do s6, in spite
of the packing house exposures,
though there will be a temporary de
cline. In the eleven months ending
with May exports of meat and meat
products -aggregated -about $182,000,-
000, so that the total for the fiscal
year will reach nearly $200,000,000.
, These figures show a larger ex porta
tion of meats and meat products than
in the corresponding' period of any
6ther year in the history of our ex-
lPrt tr(ie nl show an increase of
practically ou5pert ccni wocn cum-
pared with the figures for the corre
sponding months of 1896, a . decade
. earlier " - ; ,;
The increase is in all products, but
.. especially in fresh beef, fresh and salt
- pork,-lard 'and oleb oiL Meat -and
meat products are sent to all parts of
the world, to 75 different , countries,
The United Kingdom takes the larg
est amount Of lard alone we sent
to that country 17 yt millions during
the II months, to Germany JS mil-
. lionsrto ihe Netherlands 5 millions.
.. Of the 25 millions of bacon exported
the United Kingdom took 2Vi mil
lions. . Of hams,' fresh meats and
"other meats Great Britain is also by
.-'.far our best customer.- The Britons,
'as Bishop Potter says, may not like
. Americans, but they like pur meats,. or
have to buy them.
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
GIVIC PRIDE, will preserve and
improve the "great cities of the
United States, in spite of pes
' simists and grafters. The great ma
jority of the people are honest, and
are constantly becoming more inter
, esfed In gcod government and civic
cleanliness MoreL-wban residents
are interested today than ever before
in' the improvement of their political,
. financial and domestic affairs. There
is overwhelming evidence of this ten
dency to insist upon and secure a
clean, capable, honest and conscien
tious conduct of municipal affairs.
And failure to obtain this altogether
and all at once will not discourage
the people in their laudable efforts.
'. They are to some extent succeeding,
nd will succeed. more and more. '
Wherever there . is corruption in
municipal administration it must be
eliminated. ' 'Civil pride Jas "been
. awakened everywhere. - -The5 honest
masses ate taking an interest in their
f fairs. : The- grafters must ' go, and
. not return. X'.''.J-.X. ' 1..: ;.... 1 .,
Mayors, other city officers,, munic
. Ipsit league,, andjmprovement asso
, ciatTon are" working .together har
rnoniowJjt in mnj; cities to better
y" cities to petti
the conditions of urban life in all re
spects, and such work cannot be in
vain. This sort of work is going on
in New York, Boston, Chicago, Phila
delphia, Cincinnati, and many lesser
cities, and while vice and crime and
corruption and filth and ugliness and
poverty have not ,been' eliminated.
conditions have been greatly im
proved within a few years.'
The Boston Globe 'truly, remarks:
"Citizens by banding together i forj
the common good, can accomplish
wonders. . The people tan con
duct their, own affairs when they be
come imbued with civic pride. Their
public servants will perform good ser
vice just in proportion, to the interest
they see' the citizens take in" local gov
ernment When citizens are Indiffer
ent to the welfare of their city the au-.
thorities too often act to suit themselves-
and special interests."
Portland is not a very ; large city
yet,' bu will be far larger. Much to
improve conditions here has been
done within the past two or three
years, but much remains to be done.
Keep, on - improving, in every way.
All good citizens pull together for
this purpose'.". Let us make Portland
a notedly model city.
MASSACRES BY AUTHORITY.
w-lEW PEOPLE credirea"tle re
ports first sent out from Rus-
. sian sources after ; the Bial-
ystoff massacre, that it was- precipi
tated .by revolutionary Jews, who
were the aggressorsl All other and
later reports concur in confirming
what, everybody, supposed from the
first was the fact, that it was pre
meditated, pre-arranged, inexcusable
and wanton massacre of unoffending
Jews7 authorized and ordered by the
"Black Hundred" element of the Rus-
sian government.
It docs not appear clear to people in
such a country asthis how. the autoc
racy is to gain anything by such hor
rible atrocities, that cannot fail to
arouse the horrified indignation of the
civilized world, but the only explana
tion is that the- cnemies of liberty, jus
tice and 'democracy in ; Russia seek
thus to precipitate a revolution, or at
least , insurrections.-how, while they
can yet- depend on the , army to do
their bidding, and -before ithe insur
rectionary forces, can become solid
ified and can mature plans that might
lead to success. As yet the govern
ment can quell insurrections any'
where and in doing so can slaughter
not only the insurgents but innocent
nd noncomhative Jews and others
hated by the church oligarchy, and
so weaken and cow the insurrection
ary spirit and movement, f
But whatever the motive or the rea
soning, these frequent massacres of
inoffending people, evidently in con
sequence of orders from high author
itative sources, are enough to' ren
der Russia an odious outlaw among
the nations of the earth. ; - v

Touching the State Printing Graft
LEGISLATIVE ACTION IMPERATIVE.
Salem, Or., Jun 15. To th Editor of
Th Journal Why 1 It that th Ore
gpnlan'a Salem correspondent In his
long-winded predictions aa to what th
next legislature will do with all the
stat offices, doe not think to hint even
at what will b don with th stats
printer's offlcT Pardon m for asking
this question, however. Tet my uncle'
argument In favor of public ownership
might apply to my nephew' possible
graft during th next four year; for if
th state can savs 840,000 every two
year by doing th printing Itself, In
stead of continuing the present system,
which Dunlway during th-rent -prt
mary campaign yelled himself hoarse
calling "th 8100,000 graft," .would It
(th state) not be warranted in espous
ing th doctrine of publle ownership by
doing -th printing Itself T
And? notwithstanding th strenuosity
of Dunlway1 recent campaign of edu
cation, he ha jiow begun a third cam
paignthat of importuning "niembsis of
th legislature not to but htm on a sal
ary during hi first four year. "First
four years" la th way h put it when
th fact Is he does not want it but four
year, for hi ambltlon-1 to clean up
fully 8100,000 and then take th gover
nor's office. That 1 hi program.
What had th peopl In xnlnd whan.
by a practically unanimous vote, they
adopted th . "constitutional amendment
to allow th stat printing, binding and

above amendment! Here it Ja, word for
