' Is this one more step in the adoption of rices that shall ultimately work . the ruin of the republic? How Mrs Robert F. McCreery blew purple i folds of smoke from a golden-tipped Turkish cigarette, and how the graceful movement of her wrist and pretty pucker of her lips was ad mired by those who looked on, has '. been, recounted in the press dis patches. The spread of the habit, aad Its alarming practice in the smart sets of the country is infor ' matlon that repeatedly finds its way into the newspapers. What its ten dency is, and what its consequences, . If more widely adopted, must be, is scarcely a debatable topic. It Is "certain to result in infinite harm. When the mothers of boys, and the . sisters of boys, use cigarettes, how ranch more Btrenuously will tho boys pursue the habit? '. These mothers and sisters now are tba leaven to keep the loaf pure. They have been and should continue to be, the greatest and most poten tial Influence In cleansing the body politic; and in 'Withholding men and boys from Ticea. . When they yield .; the last of the . moorings that hold society to a safe anchorage Is cut loose. , .The lesson of Greece and Rome, and of Egypt arid Babylon before them, stares us in the 'face. The hope for ouY future' Is that mothers and sisters may cleave to those purities and perfections that place 'woman upon a pedestal where In she is the guide and -lode star for the saving of men,' Her wider cul ture, her nobler Instinct, her charm of purity and her old-time hostility .! are an asset of greatest ' .strength in staying the powers and purposes of the nation. fThe use of tobacco among men is bad enough, when women stoop to it we may well pause and consider whether it Is not a portent of de- cadence. among laborers In the United States and looking abroad we discover the whole world disturbed by the same aspirations or rebellion,' aa you please. In every state of Latin America and all over Europe the la borer is demanding more wages and shorter days, so that everywhere business life has met with a shock, more or less paralyzing as the gov ernments display energy or genius In dealing with the condition. In the I'nlted Slates last year, by reason of hard times, we fell $300,- 000,000 short of making the pur-i chaHcH In foreign marts that tur average trado encouratced those mar kets to expect of us. The result has been hard times all over the world The necessity for helping out one another, experienced among the com merclal nations, whereby vast sums of money are transported from one country to another, has led to the conception of a new idea In exchange suggested by the Italian chamber of commerce In Verona, adopted by tho commercial mind of Berlin, with the support of the Prussian government, submitted to the congress of Milan In. 190(5 and now to be conslaered by an international congress canea Dy the German relchstag. It is in brief a pln for establishing a law of "di rect International exchange," by which one part of the commercial world may help its confreres in other parts without taking oppressive ad vantage of unfortunate conditions. It would seem that when a system of this character has become firmly es- tablBhed no further diplomacy will be required to hold the world in peace. ment Is getting better, too, thanks Tj.Vfil.a- F- Um P-n1 largely to Roosevelt.

Aside from some violations of the local option law, now suppressed, ft is a county practicality without crime. There is but little litigation there. A term 'of circuit court sometimes lasts but a day or. two. The people, how eyer, are not asleep, but are indus trially active and are becoming more .'. and ; more enterprising. There is rich farming land to be had at a ; moderate price, much unimproved 'land, timber land and many streams. .The climate is almost perfection and , there Is "no booze in Benton"; it is a dry county. Where Is there a better residence county, a better one for American homes, in the coun try? If there Is a better, one it must be some other Oregon county and we doubt if any of these ii more than "Just as good." . HH PEOPLE of Wisco county south of Dufur are making what seems to be a very Just complaint about the train schedule between The Dalles' and Dufur and the consequent wretched mall service to the country beyond the latter point. In this, region are Waplnitla, Tygh Valley and other large settlements, and the country for 30 miles beyond Dufur is well settled with farmers and stockmen, altogether amounting to many hun dreds of families.. Yet -they cannot get their mall any sooner h&n they ought to if they lived 50 miles far ther back In the Interior not so soon as they got it by stage before the railroad was built from The I Dalles to Dufur. The mail from Portland, leaving here on the afternoon train and reaching The Dalles late In the eve ning, lies there till 3:30 the next day, when it is taken to Dufur, 15 miles by wagon road, where It lies till the next morning. If, as former ly, there were an early morning mall from The Dalles to Dufur, for which the stage for Waplnitla Tygh and Wamic would wait, people of all that region would get their Portland evening papers and their letters nearly or quite 24 hours Boon er. The postal authorities are ap pealed to in the matter because It is Bald that the train schedule on the Great Southern railroad was fixed at the suggestion of the post office department, and it Is now asked to reconsider that action and arrange a different schedule, so as to accommodate the many people of the greater portion of Wasco county, The Journal admits having an in terest in the matter, for the paper is a day older when it arrives at these points than it would be under a changed schedule, but, while speak ing one word for itself, it speaks many, in this regard, for the people of that region, who protest against having their mail delayed a whole day at The Dalles and Dufur. tmrtllsi tt thai tftj-ttYimnii ' ainhiwil rw.

W HEN Sam Slick said "there's a great deal of human na ture in man he made no exception of race or nation. The newspaper writer, who is trained . to grope for news in every corner ot ' the world, will add that "In that hu- "man nature there is very much of . .t oneness"; he flnd3 one great heart ' .of humanity, whose throbs are felt in its uttermost veins. This unity of movement among the civilized peo- pies of the earth, not excepting those most Widely separated in their insti- " tutioos, moves the mind with wonder ever increasing as the world grows larger la its development and closes tn its ties of communication. A late writer has stated the same truth in declaring 4we have passed the por ta is ana come into the glory ot a new century of thia modern era.

There are many bad things in it, of course; but less, in proportion to population and activity, than ever before. The country Is better off than ever before, and will grow bet ter gradually, right along, both mor ally and materially. At least we hope and expect so. If everybody would think and say-ee, it -would help mightily to accomplish this re sult. Some people are always worrying about some substance giving out, or 6ome great, prolonged catastrophe in production, in commerce, or In In dustry. Their vision is very short. AB one thing begins to fail some thing better takes its place. Oil and concrete, for Instance, are saving our forests. The financial strin gency, in the poor judgment of thc pessimists, was going to develop into a prolonged money famine. They had but to look across the waters to see that the hunger of the world waa already guaranteeing relief in plenty: While some were wearing the sack cloth and ashes of economy, our ex ports were, beating the record, in dollars if not in quantity. Necessar ily, in conseg.uence, gold has come over till the country baa'more of it than it knows what to do with. In the absence of famine or crop fail ures abroad, our export trade is better than ever before. The scare at home is over, and the country is rushing, in orders to the mills and factories. And a portion of another crop is already growing." f : Nothing can keep this country down, or set it back, but momentar Uy ;as we may eay.
