T TIB ASSAULT by workingmen on Lhe Hindoos at Delllngham, Washington, has lti several forms of significance. The most ; ; notable . of hese Is that labor Is . ' scarce and costly. Oregon hortlcul turists In a recent gathering em- t phaslzed the fact Many of them told how their crops had rotted last , season because laborers could not l(' be procured to gather and pack the r , fruit. Some . pf them urged that . Japanese exclusion is a mistaken pol- icy oecause there is not enough 1 ' lor in the country to handle the in luxurious home and an Interesting family must hate been, its accom paniment. ' It was a combination on 'which friend, and relatives must have looked with) pride and envy. But,'. the name of Glass is dis honored. The head of the tele phone corporation bends low. Like Napoleon, he Jefled fate. The puis suit "Of his business led him to tempt public officials. The lure of business success was his decoy. It was a way that many others have trod. His excuse to his conscience doubtless was business, somewhat shadowy mayhap, but still business. In, that name and by that token, many a crime is committed. It is the peril of the hour, and the bane o the race, this business. It was the destruction of Glass and the death of his hopes. He veered from an honorable path, and a San Fran- Jclaco court found and fixed the pen alty. Five years of stripes for the head of the telephone corporation, desertion by his friends, and sor row for his family that was happy. Terrible, swift and sweeping Is the stroke that' fell in this tragedy of "business." - -Convincing, positive and unanswerable is its warning to the youth and to the aged to be ware of the path that leads outside the limits of stern integrity and the law. is by no means an . impossible one. It should be- apparent to any one that until he Is at least placed In posses sion of the evidence on which In dictments were based he cannot proceed.

In many an in stance but a small percentage of the acreage la, cropped this year because . elp could not be secured, or was i too costly, at seeding Ime. Many 1 farmers only cultivated auch areas - as they and thelrjions were able to EanaKfi unaided. An immense re- ducllonbf'oufput is resultant and a f coming change In. economic arrange ' menta BUggested. In this thange it ' is apparently manifest that natural forces are operating to divide up big I farms andj substitute tor them a wore generaij'ulilizatioa of small t ones. It, has i been common kno'wl i edge for several years that the large ' profits that Sused to accrue from farming onl a large scale are no 1 longer possible. It is a growing conviction among farmers them- 8elvea, and the cost and the scarcity of . labor Is making it more pro ' nounced. The present year's experi ence is a final argument that cannot be met and a wide movement for taking up 'small areas and applying ' Intensive methods is almost certain to result. ' - It is the gradual working out of nature's plan and the evolu tion of the fittest. - In 'one respect it la a happy cir cumstance, for , western Oregon in - particular. The region is set about with every -advantage for email and Intensive agriculture. It is the de liberate estimate of experts who have given, deep study to the sub ject, that the Willamette valley j alone, tilled and husbanded as is OWN in Wall street where they make panics to order, the barons of finance refuse to be comforted. Fits ana epidemic, and whenever there is a fresh out burst of roaring in the White House the entire financial colony lapses Into T5y8terTcs.w One" legal light of the infected district declared recent ly that If the man In the White House isn't soon tamed, "liberty will be come a hollow mockery." One after another, the financiers have passed in review, made their bow, and de clared that "this agitation against I trusts will bring on a panic." With Standard Oil fined and Alton threatened, there came a flurry, and what the country heard Btralghtway was a comic opera chorus, "we told you so." The conception of the magnates la that Wall street is the world. That is what they confess when they howl panic. What they also confess, in the same breath, is that their methods are unlawful, their ways crooked, and their system un real, for It Is only lawbreakers against whom court . machinery is directed. 6 Their threats of panic are a plea of guilty and a coward's resort. If their, business is lawful and their operations legal, they are not menaced. If otherwise,' they are in peril, and their screams of affright proof that laws should be applied. Not to apply the law would be to admit that' they should be licensed to work their skin games forever in order that business disturbances may be averted. That would be pol troonery ana wnen it comes to a choice between a panic and pol troonery, the American people with one accord will choose panic. If there was ever a reason to push prosecutions to the uttermost, It is because of the craven attitude of the Wall street barons who run up the flag of distress and howl "panic" every time a door creaks. Desirable Qualities in a Wife By Ella Whoaler Wilcox. : After cheerful affection, order and neatness, an Idea of the value of money comes next In the good" qualities of a wife. I do not like the word "economy," because It is so often used to excuse parlsmony and stinginess. An extravagant man or woman Is preferable to a miserly one. Tha ex travagant nature freauently possesses admirable qualities In connection with extravagance, dui ine miaoriy nature is wholly despicable. The woman who Is miserly In the' use of money may save for her husband and help him to become a millionaire, but she will be incapable of giving him love In abundance or of making htm proud of his homo; for the mltterjy propensities In her nature will continually crop out and bring humiliations upon him. Such a wife frequently ends her life as the deserted and divorced woman who makes way for a more showy and attractive substitute. The miserly "close"' nature Is miserly and 'Vlose" In affection as well as money. The miserly woman forgets feminine pride and grows rusty and old-fashioned In her dress and personal appearance In order to save money for another woman to enjoy. And always she trldes herself upon what she believes Is the great virtue of All over Scandinavia great excitement and sensation has been caused bv thirteen-year-old Norwegian boy, John Floettum, who seems to b possessed of a most phenomenal clairvoyant pow er. More than six months ago some body at Slngaas, where the boy Is Uv lng. observed the remarkable ability whloh he had shown In finding lost things and persons. At first no special notice was taken of It, but about a fortnight ago a commer otal .traveler, living In the Oesterdal valldy. was missed. Somebody took the opportunity to speak about the boy's remarkable power to the police, who for nearly a week had tried In vain to traoe the missing traveler. John Floettum was appealed to, and without , hesitation the boy Indicated a river, about twenty miles away, where me roay was promptly rouna. The method adopted was as follows: A photograph of the missing man was mown to tne Doy, who closely examined It After a short visit at the house where the man had lived, the boy, es corted by two - Norwegian policemen. rted In the direction which he ln- 'economy" and wonders she Is not ap preciated. Therefore the quality t believe to he one of the throe cardinal virtues In a wife I call knowledge of money values. When a woman realizes that money has no value save as It gives comfort and pleasure to the largest number of people, and that a wasteful use of It Is wicked and selfish, she is not Inclined to become either extravagant or miserly. Such a woman thinks before she buys; she is not attracted by mere bargain counter allurements to purchase trash which has no value for herself or oth ers. She makes a careful study of the needs of her household before she buys supplies of any kind, and then she makes a careful study of market prices and- Knows- -1 whether i lu( tba real or fictitious value of what she pur chases. Such a woman will make her home a dream Of beaut', and herself and her children will always be charmingly at tired on the same amount of money which the thoughtlessly extravagant woman spends for trash alonethings which have been purchased haphazard at bargain counters merely because they were cheap," and which serve no pur pose In beautifying the home or the per sons of its inhabitants. The best "possible way for a woman to learn mohoy values Is to be given a certain eum of money, however small, b her parents when she reaches the ago of 12 or 14, and to learn how to make her own purchases of small necessities, i Naturally at that age a child needs direction and guidance, but In two ur three years' time she learns how to shop and how to market at the best advan tage on a small Income. Woman has so long been In the posi tion of a slave or beggar In money mat ters that it Is not surprising if she is often at a loss to know how beet to use money; but every wife should be given her allowance and assisted by wise and considerate counsel until she learns tho value of money If she does not possess this knowledge in the beginning. If she does, then indeed sho goes to her husband well dowered. stantly indicated. After a short walk the boy suddenly stopped, exclaiming "We are on the right way. Hers the. man lately sat down." After a few minutes' stay the boy continued his walk. Though many people followed the boy and the policemen, the boy did not take any notice of them. He fol lowed rapidly the course which he had laid out, and. although it was dark, he requested the police to follow him until he had found a tree where be had seen that the man should have lost a hand kerchief. After one hour's walk a tree was found, where a handkerchief Was lying. It was the property of the miss ing man. By this time the boy was so exhausted that he said It was necessary to five up that day further walking. Early next morning the boy arose and told the policeman that In the night he nad seen the body or the man at the bottom of the river whloh he had Indi cated. The boy went straight to the river, where a boat was at the shore. He together with the police and two fishermen, steered In the direction which the boy Indicated. Suddenly he cried: "Here you are," and at the bottom of the river where the boat stopped the body was seen lying in about one and a hair fathoms of water. Ths .nwsof Jhe Incident rapidly spread over Norwayr and an tnornious consternation arose among thl Norwe gian peasants. The boy was sent back to Slngaas, where his mother, a poor woman, lives. The father died three years ago. His parents had six chil dren, of whom he was the fourth. His oldest brother 1 working as a fireman. The next two are sisters, who are serv ing as chambermaids. The two young est children, a boy and a girl, are at ' ' " v- -'i J . ' ' '. ."V" roroe allpa of paper," btff ' no ' money,' That was quit correct. Another day I told John that thirty years ago, seven teen years before John was born,'! lost a gold ring when I was playing with the sohool children in tha field. John held his hand over his eyes and In a few minutes said: 1 sea your ring fly ing through ths air. Many small' hands are searching for It on ths ground and many eyes are looking for It ' There Is a very thick and fat boy who is very eagerly looking for it But with his one hand he covers tha ring tor which he ! so eagerly looking.'" The teacher now clearly recollected the rat boy who later died in prison.

To the Editor of The Journal -Governor Chamberlain attracted wide attention at the Irri gation Congress the other day when he spoke on the land question. Ore gon has been robbed of her lands by vandals and there is no cure In con victing a few of the living perjurers and bribers among the many who have aided in fastening land monopoly so heavily upon the state. Governor Chamberlain recognises one Important fact That Is that the way out Is for the people of Oregon to tax the dog In the manger. He proposes to estab lish a graduated land tax. From ' the i telegraphic reports he proposes, how- ever, to tax area regardless of value. This may be an error or tne reporter. It is no great land monopolist who holds out of use a quarter section of desert land In Malheur county, for In stance, worth $1.26 an acre, but a quarter section close to or within the corporate limits of a vigorous and growing metropolis and worth $1,000, 000 an acre If held out of use or In the possession of one man Is a drag upon the community and a curse to mankind. If "Our Georire" will read ud a llt- Whlte House tle rnore he will discover that the es hlch I always considered a waste of time, but now I believe it my duty to say that I am fully convinced about the remarkable sense of the boy. He Is a henomenal clairvoyant. I have already ried him with several cases, and nearly always John has had a complete suc cess. Only In a few cases, when he was excited, the experiments have failed. But don't forget," added the old teacher, "that John Is only a boy." Asked what sort of exrerlment8 the teacher had made with John, Morseth sold: "One day I asked John: 'Please tell me with I have tn my purser In stantly John replied: 'A golden ring. dlnavlan people are now looking for ward to jonn a investigation.

A graduated land value tax results In read with extraordinary Interest by the people of Portland. Not a line of this sensational news was car ried by the Associated Press. In the opinion of the publishers of the city directory, the forthcom5 ing edition will Indicate a population for Portland of 200,000, exclusive of the suburbs, which would add 15,000 more. There Is nothing extravagant in these figures. Estimates based on the city directory are regarded all over the country as fairly reliable. Few people even here within our gates appreciate the rapidity with which Portland Is growing. Another meeting- of the East Portland Citizens' association was held at the Church of Good Tidings last night Fur ther protests were entered against the location of a crematory at the mouth of Sullivan's gulch and the body as serted Itself as being unalterably op- fiosed to the location of a garbage plant n any residence district whether on the east side or the west side of the river. Remarks were made by B. A. Proud foot, Rev. James D. Corby, Eugene Fer guson, A. C. MacDonald, William Reidt and a number of others. A large com mittee will attend the meeting of the health board Monday and It Is expected there will be more than 100 present to enter objections atralnst the Sullivan gulch location and other locations In the city. It seemed to be the general opin ion that the crematory should be lo cated On one of the islands of the lower Willamette. These resolutions were adopted "Resolved, That it Is the sense of the East Portland Citizens' association that we are opposed to the erection of the garbage crematory on any insiae prop erty residence or business, where It would depreciate values by its presence, but do favor a down-river location, the garbage to be removed by means oi Barges to the plant. "Resolved, That every one present constitute himself or herself a com mittee of one to urge two or three oth ers to attend the meeting of the health committee Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and protest against selection of a loca tion on inside property, and urge that a down-river site be selected."

The state railroad commission has made publio Its findings In the matter of the recent wreck on the Great Northern at Milan. wherein over SO passengers and em ployes were injured by the derailment of a passenger train. The commission places its chief reliance on the testi mony of Inspector Pcrlev. whose theory of the wreck Is that the seven new ties that' were pot under the rail which spread' and caused the accident, only a few days before the derailment oc curred, were improperly set. The report scores the Great Northern for the condition of Its track, which IB declared to be "not In such a state oi efficiency as should exist on a trans continental road operating the heavy equipment used by the Great Northern railway. This condition applies not only to the section where the wreck occurred, but to other portions of the company's line In this state." It Is declared, however, that the Great Northern Is now making all rea sonable efforts to put its roadbed In good condition. RICH GOLD STRIKE IS MADE IN CALIFORNIA (Pacific Cnaat Prras Leased Wire.)
