T IS the habit on this planet for the average Individual to believe he knowa best htjw to attend to the other fellow's business. It f ' ll not a perversity, but a trait. It - manifests itself in the usual belief ,. . that the other fellow Is running things wrong. There are doubtless millions of men in the United States . of whom each fancies be could run the Standard Oil business better than can Rockefeller; What makes the fact fantastic is that each would ran It In a different way. - And so, In Oregon, We have a vast number of people who are sure they know all about how to run a penl ' tentlary. According to Ideas that " have been advanced in state papers, some would run the prison as though ; the convicts were oxen, while others ' would conduct It on a Sunday school bash. The aggregate of it all Is, that there are as many opinions as , men, and their Ideas as widely apart as the antipodes, all of which makes the opinion of ono worth about as much at that of another, and no . more. 1 The only opinion that is of com- merclal value In the conduct of a penitentiary, is that of men who have been in every day contact with I -convicts. In the ordinary sense, a ' convict Is a man to whom the theo- . rles and scientific principles do not apply. He is out of gear with theo ries, and out of joint with ordinary sociological rules. That is a reason ; 'Why he 1b in the penitentiary, and not at large. He Is a buzc saw In the ! abstract, and dynamite In actual practice. Mr. Geer, who as governor of Oregon, had four years of him says, that after a desperate criminal, '"apparently docile, throws a lighted coal oil lamp at a passing attendant, it is not in order for the latter to drop ' down on his knees and pray the Lord to forgive the poor convict and make him better. Commenting on the late whipping at the Oregon prison, Mr. Geer says in his Pendle J ton Tribune, "once let the prisoners know that no sort of bodily punish ! ment Is to be administered under f any circumstances, and there would be scores of them who would be come absolutely unmanageable, and the entire institution an undis ciplined menagerie." Probably every man experienced with criminals would confirm Governor Geer's views. Whatever may be the merit's of the late flogging at Salem, the people thoroughly understand that Governor Chamberlain's character is of the kind that, If In such matters he err at all, he is more likely to err on the side of mercy. paper and they don't use your letter, send it to another, and yet another. There is no habit better than that of writing about your own city and state. It famlliarlr.es you with your own resources and advantages and makes you better satisfied with your home. Circulating these leaflets does not cost you a cent. They fre so light as to add practically nothing to the Cost of postage, and in addition to that, bear In mind that no Initiation fee is charged for those who par ticipate In the prize contest. A NOTED TRAVELER. UARRIMAN Is traveling- automobile, says one ac count; another ssys by mules across or Into that great, resourceful, neglected region, known as central Oregon, through which railroads are so greatly needed, and with which It would soon produce enormous amounts of stuff for them to carry away. There are large areas that Mr. Harrlman will tra verse that look pretty barren, and some of them are barren, but If he has heard of the success of dryland farming he will know that there are great areas that now produce only pasturage that will produce good crops. In brief, if Mr. Harrlman, instead of becoming disgusted with the dust and other discomforts of the trip, making it somewhat less agreeable than a journey in his spe cial train, will inquire diligently and learn the truth about that region, he will not be in doubt about the feasibility and profitableness of a railroad, or several railroads, through it. He may not be traveling for Information, but rather to create certain Impressions here and there, or he may be traveling merely for his health, though we believe this Is not his custom; but we hope "hope springs eternal In the human breast" that he has really come to spy out the land, intending If his survey Is satisfactory to push a rail road through It as Boon as possible. Being headed north, Mr. Harrl man. 11 he aoesn t turn back, win necessarily In the course of time reach the Columbia river, and we may also hope that if so he will deign to visit Portland, which, though an insignificant and un worthy place, will nevertheless be pleased to give him hospitable If modest entertainment, and the best city water; he has had since he was here before. thority, yet Its estimate will cause some surprise In this country where few people supposod we had reached the second nlace yet. and more in Germany, Trance, Italy and Japan which countries have no very high opinion of our navy, though respect lng It a little more than they did before it made Spain a navyless na tlon. BE OBLIGING TO STRANGERS, T CHANGING OCCUPATIONS. T HE TELEGRAPH operators' strike will be a good thing for many of them in a different LEND A HAND. r t HE JOURNAL reproduces else where In today's issue the Port land Commercial club's leaflet complete, and urges every one to read Its contents carefully and then do their part towards adding to Its circulation by placing a copy in every letter that goes into the malls in Portland and elsewhere throughout Oregon. Many of the stores and other busi ness interests having large corre spondence will put a copy of this leaflet In each and every piece of mail that leaves their office. When you receive these leaflets don't waste them, but see that they go out lni your letters to tell a story about 1 Portland and Oregon. This is an advertising age and every portion of the world is putting Its best foot foremost both to In crease Its population and wealth. Even conservative Boston has voted JSO.OOOto Induce the traveling pub lic to Include that city as an impor tant point of Interest when buying theip tlckets. : The 9,000 offer of the Portland Commercial club , is open to every Individual whether a; resident of Ore - gon or not, and this offer ahoald be k the caseof Portlan -and Oregon receiving a vast amount of publicity. and as there must necessarily be 80 wieners each contestant has a good way from that which they had planned or anticipated; instead of getting slightly increased wages at the same occupation, they have found employment in which they can earn perhaps more wages, and may have better chances to procure still more profitable employment. It Is often advantageous for a man to be "Jarred loose" from some posi tion in which he remains without thought of doing something else and better. Thrown out and compelled to do something different, he finds that he not only can do It, but that It Is more pleasant and profitable than his old vocation. Besides, the knowledge, the discovery, that a man Is good for more than one thing, can be successful at two or more occupations, Is valuable. It gives him greater confidence and more self-respect. Fortunately for these strikers, op portunities for doing something else besides telegraphing are numerous. Not" all, perhaps not many at first can secure positions at better wages than they have been receiving, but all can find something to do that may lead to something better. And the more of them that quit the tele graphing business, the better chance will those have who stick to It to get fair wages. HE WASHINGTON POST urges the Importance of treating strangers visiting the capital city courteously, and especially calls on streetcar conductors to aid strangers in finding their way to desired points. While this appeal Is especially adapted to the national capital, where people from all over the country congregate though not at this time of year It applies to other cities also, including Portland Beginning next month the tourist rates from the east will be In effect for two months, during which period it is expected that "a great number of eastern people will come to Oregon, a large proportion of them destined in the first Instance for Portland. On reaching this city they should be met by all residents with considera tion, courtesy, and such helpfulness as Is practicable, not only by those especially Interested In welcoming them, but by everybody who meets them. Indeed, this ought to be the rule the year round. It not only pays to do this, but it is a good habit to get into. In helping and being kind to strangers we benefit ourselves not only materially but ethically. As the Post suggests, streetcar conductors In particular ought to be considerate and obliging to strangers in the city, and to remember that what is clear and familiar to the conductors, as to directions and streets and points in trie city, is a dark puzzle to strangers. Most con ductors, we think, are deserving of no censure in this respect, but a word of reminder is not out of place. Let everybody strive to treat the strangers nicely. nations, it Is to be presumed that they have plenty left for election purposes. At any rate, If they can- not win without financial aid from outside, the general sentiment will be that they will have to lose. Not to pick any hops would be aj herolo remedy for low prices, but. It would probably pay next year.

He states that while in 1881 Manitoba and its two adjacent territories had fewer than 85,000 white residents, they now have a population exceeding 800,000. Nearly one half of these came in tne rive years preceamg June 24, 1906. In this region In 1881 the total production of wheat, barley and oats was less than 3,000, 000 bushels. In 1906 it was more than 240,000.000 bushels. In 15 years the number of farms grew from 32,000 to more than 120,000. A large proportion of the new set tlers are Americans, who have gone across the border to get cheaper lands, and relief from burdensome tariff and trust taxation. It seems remarkable, when one considers how much people have found out, that weather a few hours ahead cannot be positively foretold. Many predictions', official and other wise, are dally made, hut they are mostly mere guesswork. The barom eter 13 a reliable guide, but not for much time ahead. The Instinct of animals tells them when there la to be a change of weather, but man's reason gives him no information or hint, at least not invariably, and not even generally. The weather bureau does some good work, and Is useful, but tomorrow's weather is with it mostly guesswork, after all, as Is frequently demonstrated. Tomor row's weather Is always a myBtery. whose artistic temperament and disaain of wealth or worldly profit shaped him as a composer of music and whose thoughtlessness had lead him into the belter mat a wjra would dc or assist ance and comfort In his battle with the muse. It points the moral that In auch a calculation the mother of the wife should also be considered as an ap preciable quantity which may some tlmoe largely make for dlacord even In a musical household. In order to strengthen this lesson the tale reiterates ltseir by the help or tne divorce court and the second marriage of the grass widowed bride to A man so naturally Irascible that he would be supposed naturally capable of handling the most obdurate of mothers-in-law. "The Carnival of Love" Is one of the most amusing; things seen In Portland for some time and is well worth the while. It Is also a happy ending to the Ion it list of attractions with which the Btockwell-MacQregor comnany has en tertained the patrons of the Marquam and puts a pleasing period to their labors In the city. Franklyn Underwood as Frank Marry all, the composer who sought peace and found two wives Instead and a mother-in-law, Is a much -persecuted person who has the entire sympathy of the audience. Joseph Dftlley as Benjamin Calldown. the wire-edge old gentleman and companion In misery who Tell ec ond heir to the mother-in-law, hurts the nldes of the hearers with the way he hears his sufferings.

Statement No. 1 Is no less a farce than the direct primary law. The election of Jonathan Bourne proves It.

Walker, formerly first lieutenant of company B, First Oregon infantry. Comrades: I regret very much the action you have taken favoring the restoration of the army canteen, as set forth in your resolutions printed in The Oreeon Journal. I have no fears that the canteen will be reinstated. My regrets are for your sakes and my meaning will quite cer tainly be made apparent ln the due course of events. Do you realize what a wonderful ad vance there has been ln public senti ment favorable to temperance and con stitutional prohibition since the time the army canteen was abolished 7 Ore gon since then adopted local option and under It several counties are legally dry and would be more so in fact if officials would do their full duty. Next June some more counties will vote dry and within five years I ex pect to see Oregon under constitutional ironiDltion, ana wiinin iu years ail or he United States. As you know, Georgia has lately adopted a prohibitory law even more drastic than that of Maine. A very large portion of the southern states is under prohibition and ere long there will be a "solid atouth acralnst the beverage sale of intoxicating liq uors, and very likely a solid southern delegation ln congress will oppose your canteen propaganda. In boyhood's school days In my na tive Oregon we used to "declaim" a se lection in which was something like the following: 'England may aa well attempt to dam up the Nile with bull rushes as to fetter the cause of free dom." To express the idea ln an up-to-date and nearer at home Illustration we will give It thus: "You might as well at tempt to check the onward flow of our lordly Columbia with fishnets as to re tard the onward sweep of constitutional prohibition, or even to restor- the army canteen.
