' , WOMEN.
i:
S THE dm of cigarettes to be
more and more widely adopted
- among society women until wo-
....
men shall become as universally
. addicted to the bablt as are men?
' 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.

A BAD SCHEDULE.
r
A MODEL COUNTY.
BENTON county is out of debt.
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.

HOUGH there is much to criti
cise and correct, don't get pes
simistic about this country.
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

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."
