The parents' experience In life, is

to a parent's love, it Is of infinite
value to a child. It is the surest and

thoughts sway parents when the fu

They know too well the dangers

in the pathetic case of this 17-year-

problems; why not examine the sys

reerf
In New Zealand the gorernment
owns the railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines, public highways
and coal mines, and operates the
life and fire insurance companies at
rates but a fraction of those charged
here. Every child between 7 and 14
must attend school. Tbe working
day is eight hours, and there is
weekly half-holiday. A big land
owner is compelled to sell part of
his land at government appraise
ment. The government loans peo
ple money with which to buy land
and build houses. If a man buys
bush lands the gorernment glres
him employment at good wages
near by in building roads. It also
hauls fertilizers and transports
stock for exhibition free. The rate
for telegraphing is 12 cents for 12
words, and half a cent for each ad
dltlonal word. Telephone rates are
about one fourth what they are In
this country; Insurance rates half
as much. Coal is sold at $4 to $4.50
per ton. Out of $24,000,000 loaned
by the gorernment to people, only
$6,000 was lost. Arbitration of la
bor disputes is compulsory, with a
court as the third party, and there
is no appeal.
These are a few features of "so
cialism" and "anarchy" in New Zea
land. Tet the people there are said
to be prosperous and contented. It

All these and many more lnterest-

Parsons. It is a good book for our
statesmen and other influential peo
ple to read.
In point of population and wealth
New Zealand is a rery small coun
try compared with the United States.
Besides, if its systenf is right, it
started right, early in its career,
while we hare gone on being wrong
for a century and a third. It may
not be practicable to effect radical
changes all at. once. But we really
see no good reason why some of the
features of the New Zealand sys
tem cannot be or should not be
adopted here.
In a word, the New Zealand sys
tem, to a far greater extent than
ours, is government of the people,
by the people and for the people,
which we profess to be our goal.

The Anniversary Journal.
From the lrrlgon Irrigator..
The Sunday Journal of the Jth Instant
was a paper of which any metropolitan
publisher might well be proud. We are
told that orer (0,000 copies were print
ed, and that the Issue consumed 90 tons
of paper, end that the total extra cost
was over 1 20,000.
and waa to commemorate the birth of
the paper, which occurred in August,
1902.
We all remember with what misgiv
ings we saw Jackaon. a mere sagebrush
editor, like a lot more of us, go from
Pendleton to Portland In the silly sea.
son of 1902. Every one predicted 'Ms
demise, financial and editorial, and we
pictured him wending his way back to
the home of the Jackrabbit empty of
purse and broken In spirit.
But Jackson haa made a memorable
success, and his Journal Is now, one or
the Big Papers of the west, big In every
way. Wo capitalise Big and also Paper,
and that about expresses what The
Journal Is a Capital Paper.
This anniversary number was a fine
Issue. It was replete with halftones.
and was In every way worthy a great

to send out (0,000 such papers. And
Portland: It will be a great benefit to

Portland was a "one-newspaper town."
and people said that a city that could
not support two papers did not amount
to much. None of these one-paper
cities get all that they would get if
they would wake up and support two or
more papers. '
But Portland waa waiting for the
man. the man for the hour, and he went
out of the sagebrush and "took a city."

every county that furnished photographs
of scenes and buildings are honored by
their appearance in this handsome edi

made in the wrlteup of Lake county we

Triumph of Art.
From the Harney Valley News.
The greatest triumph of the printer's
art and of newspaper enterprise ever
achieved in Oregon was by the Portland

from the regular Sunday edition of 60
pages, the supplement, or souvenir sec

on heavy calendered paper with the
most beautifully executed illustrations
and filled with interesting Information
regarding all of Oregon. Tbe whole
forms a wonderful piece of enterprise
highly creditable to the five-year-old

cial fitness of women for many kinds
of work that were, until recently, con
sidered men's prerogatives.
As Mrs. Fish so aptly puts It: "Why,
women have done the most important
work In the world. They have reared
tvi Ahildren. have they not? Back of
every great man that ever lived was
the inspiring Influence of some woman.
I do not hesitate to say that woman la
the power behind the throne."
Th. hravest and most Illustrious and
best of men have accorded to women all
honor for their triumphs In all depart-i
ments of the world's work. They have
also assisted women to. gam me emi
nence they have attained.
To bar women from entering Into
rtelds which would develop her highest
talents would be to deprive her un
justly of her legitimate rights. Be
cause a woman is talented, industrious
and ambitious it does not necessarily
follow that she is lacking in domestic
qualities and the instincts or wuenooa
and motherhood, or that she Is heartless
and lacking In affection, which, arter all,
is the all-Important quality for the
sacred mission of women.
Mr. Schwab's position In untenable.
What he probably meant to Inveigh
against was the indolence and Indiffer
ence of women who have no interest in
their homes, do nothing for tbe better
ment of society or the world. -
These women have raise ideas of life
and do net feel the personal respon
sibility resting upon every, human being
to fill aome sphere In life. They belong ;

time to frivolous things and the Indul
gence of some fad or amusement for
their own gratification. Thoy expect
to be supported in idleness, and would
consider it a great hardship If they
were required to do anything for the
comrort or happiness or others.
In nine cases out of 10, neglect of
the little attentions on the part of the
wire toward the husband, upon wmcn
Mr. Schwab lays such stress, comes
from selfishness and thoughtlessness.
It is the intelligent woman who Is
thoughtful and knows how to make
herself Indispensable to her husband
and children, and not the stupid drudge
who la too weary from tolling over the
tedious details of domestic labor, who
Is unfit to entertain her h unhand be
yond perhaps catering to his appetite.
Many women with brilliant minds
have worked their way up to the top
through the slough of domestic drudg
ery. Such women do not despise the
channel through which they have
fought their way to higher things. On
the contrary, they feel that but for the
opportunity furnished by the necessi
ties they would probably never have dis
covered their heaven-given gifts.
It would be considered absurd for
geniuses like Mr. Schwab to waste their
talents driving a cart, working on tne
road, or doing any one of the Innumer-,
able things men of smaller minds can
do better than they could. The princi
ple Is the same. There are people for
every position in life and there is no
reason wny men and women should not
strive for the highest place within their
mental reach, or that either should re
gard with disdain the little things which
were, after all, as necessary to their
success as greater ones.,.
The attempt to oonrine women to tne
meaner vocations on account of her in-;
ferlor Intellect, is preposterous in this
enlightened age. Tne intellectual equal
ity of men and women has been proven
In too many instances for further dis
cussion of that point. That they have
their natural callings goes, without say
ing, and In many things both sexes are
equally expert.
Women should not make marriage
their chief aim In life and should never
take the step except from pure affec
tion for the men whose wives they may
become. Once married, their chief aim
should be to make - their husbands'
happy, as so well expressed by Mrs.
Fish.
"Make your husband confide in you.
He should tell you his hopes, plans
and purposes. It he does not consider
you wortny to oe nis conrioatixe ne does
not really love you. True love Includes
absolute respect and confidence."
