William Wirt tVcs NORTHWESTAT JAMESTOWN. rTJE PLAN for a joint building ' I for the four Pacific northwest state at the Jamestown expo sition next year hat met with quite general favor in the several states in terested. "."It - ha - strongly " com . mended ... itself," says the Spokane . Spokesman-Review, "to all who have given it careful consideration." There are some difficulties to over come,' but they are not insurmount able., The legislatures of the four states will have to act separately, but in concord. And the several state commissions will have tO 'worlt " to gether in harmony to make the (project a success. There is danger of tome friction in the , proposed pro- f gram, but with reasonable and broad- ' minded men on the several commis sions a large degree 1 of success for each state and for the whole region should be not only possible but cer- tain. .; ' ,. . " ' 7 i " V , A much better effect can be pro duced by a great joint building and display than by four separate and comparatively small ones. Space has been secured for a joint building and display, and as the time is limited the several legislatures should act on this mater early in the respective ses sions. The Oregon and Washington legislatures will not convene till Jan uary 14, the otheYa a week earlier and fio time "after thardatc should be lost in moving in this matter. All , these states 'will doubtless de cide to make some kind of a display at Jamestown. The questions to be settled are: Will they do so sep arately or jointly? If jointly under what conditions? And how much should be appropriated? , These mat ters should be thought, and talked UNCOVERING HERCULANEUM. I T IS REPORTED that the plans of Professor Waldstein, the emi nent archaeologist of Cambridge, . England, for, uncovering the ancient city of Herculaneum are practically :L perfected. .The neighboring - city - of Pompeii has been laid bare, but Her culaneum is supposed to have been- a far more important city, with large libraries and many works pf art, and where manj rich Romans had .mag nificent villas; so the discovery of ex- eeedingly interesting treasures is ex pected. " . ,. Herculaneum has not been un earthed before because 80 feet or so directly above its 'buried site, another town, Resina, has been buijt, and this town must be demolished' or removed, and then 80 feet of volcanic earth dug through and carried off, before the famed ancient city can be reached; and the enormous expense' could not hitherto be met. Ttut Professor Waldstein has interested King Ed ward, Kaiser William yictor Em manuel and President Roosevelt and also French authorities, and has se cured enough funds to begin the great work.

HARRIMAN on hit recent trip to Kansas City wasrei ported as saying that he is not so all-powerful a dictator as he teems, that ne merely carries ou "what has been carefully considered and turned over in many minds."' The organization he represents, he said, "is composed of 14,000 or 15,000 per sons who control and own these prop erties. There is no individual,-no combination of individuals that could possible own or control them, or does control them. It is the stockholders and boards of directors who manage these organizations." In making this statement Mr. Har- riman invites doubt of his candor and veracity, to use a mild phrase. That, he is not the "whole thing," that he under- g eneraIor deri fr omiin 3U - cially greater men, we may well be- ieve, but that "14,000 or 15,000 per sons" have any material voice in the control of the so-called Harriman properties is absurd. As a. matter of fact, such a thing is mpracticable and impossible. These peojlentrustjhe busjness to direct ors, of course, as they must, and the directors implicitly obey Mf. Har riman, who in turn is tuppoted . to obey the men who have th e bigge? piles of money. It is in general terms Standard Oil thaV practically "owns and controls" these properties, and Mr. Harriman represents the rail road arm of that octopus. The public does not know all about Mr. Harriman's employment, author ity and operations, nor the exact sources of his unlimited financial power, but they kndw ' fcriouyr to be surprised that Mr. Harriman should suppose it so simple as to believe that the 14,000 or 15,000 small shareholders have any, voice in controlling the Harriman roads.- The offer of the syndicate to re lieve Uncle Sam of the caret of the postal butiness is chiefly interesting because t proves a lot' of people are worrying over the likelihood of gov ernment ownership of railroads. No one "will Relieve that the syndicated offer is made in good faith, as no out mate of an asylum for the insane thinks that the people would put the department under trust controt The government is not making anything in the mail carrying business, but the people are saving the difference be tween what' Mr. Harriman or Mr. Rockefeller would charge . for the service if it were a part of the "tyti tern" and what is paid now. " Almost every wife-beater, inter viewed on the subject is of the opin ion that the whipping post should be abolished, on the ground that no gen tleman should be subjected to its humiliating embrace.

To th Editor of Th Journal Whll riding:, on the crowded .cars, and noticing th many working girls going' to -and from their work, a question of far greater impor tance than streetcar service has" ben forced on my attention. Many of these girls ar of tender years, and bad much better be in school than in a workshop or factory. However, owing to wrong condition their labor in most esses Is necessary. A near as I can determln th average weekly wage of many of those girls ts about $5. Now w all know that It a week will not maintain a girl aa she who works deserves to be kept Good, wholesome board will cost her at least 4 a week,' her can far will b" 80 cents, and she will have 40 cent left to buy clothing, pay doctor bills, buy medicine and pay board while laid off or sick. Well, she cannot af ford to get sick or get a day off, either. She needs stamps and ..stationery to writ letters to her friends: she would like to go to the theatre once a week; there ere many cheap little articles tkat all women love that she would. Ilk to buy, but sh cannot buy vary much I with- ber little 40 cents. . Now, Mr. Editor, I am sorry for this girl, and I know you are; I know every man in whose breast beats a manly heart ts sorry for her. Conditions havo piaceaxnis grn wno possesses true womanly love for decent dress and nat ural desire for pleasure and pastime on dangerous around. I believe In this ace of easy and rapid production the average working girl who labor 10 hours a day can produce enough to support herself . decently. Right here le where we must eommence to work to maintain our girls In their purity and virtue. . W ought not to. allow these temptations to constantly menace her.
