THE FARMER'S WIFE
d
OF the most Interesting
nearings before the Country
ire commission in this city
neau wun tne rarm home. Is
that borne in Oregon as good as it
ought to be, was the query on which
me commission based its Inquiry,
consensus or reply was that
there are a few good homes, but that
the- many lack in sanitation, lack in
comrorts, lack In conveniences, lack
In many of the things that make for
human npiifti The startling state
ment was made that at one time
most of the women patients In the
Oregon insane asylum came from the
farm and that the strenuous life of
the farm housewife is the cause.
.Water, carried from distances for
household use, homes and school
houses without sanitary toilets were
testified to as conditions that ham
per life and health In the country
homes of the state. What shall the ;
commission recommend to the presi
dent as a means for correcting these
nnfavorablecond!tion8? was asked,
and to this query there were many
suggestions. - U V
' One of the most rational recom
mendatlona was by President Kerr
of the Oregon Agricultural college.
A prime, factor for uplift, he urged.
Is a. proper 'educative effort. The
importance of sanitation, the means
of saving or restoring ab fertility,
h esthetics of the home, the es
, utlals of domestic science,' the mes-
-jrs f the tree, the soli, the flower
wnd the growing plant for human

The president acknowlerlcaa thi
and approves of It, yet he urges
equaiuy oi opportunity ln industrial
life, which inequality in the other
respects renders impossible. The
Brooklyn Eagle clearly points out
the inconsistency of the president's
well Intended plea, in part, as fol
lows:
In the one ana same breath he eon-
cedes social Inequality and clamors for
equality of opportunity, assuming one
to be compatible with the other. If it
De opportunity to earn a living and If
wmte workmen combine for the exrlu
slon of the black, which they do. thev
assert iueir social superiority, their race
supremacy, to what may be called th
business detriment of the black. To
mat extent they restrict his opportuni
ties to earn a living. In hundreds, not
to say thousands, of other ways, social
Inequality signifies that the black will
be handicapped In the struaal for
existence, the trouble with the Presi
dent being that he takes a merely sym
pathetic view of the casewhich means
tnat ne does not see It aa a whole.
Aor . is legal equality compatible
with social and political ineaualitv.
As the Eagle further says: "In
equality does not begin at one point
and end at another. It' runs from
top to bottom. If it can.be said to
ueKiu auywnere, u begins every
where, ir it can be said to end any
where, it ends everywhere. Con
cede that equality is not social and
the whole case is ' admitted the
handicaps run all along the line. It
is drawn If a tea, pink or otherwise,

door of t the factory, and, ln final
analysis, it is drawn by those who
wear the ermine, by those who have
seats upon the bench ln the court
where the organic law finds Interpre
tation. ..' ,
The president pointed out the suc
cess of the extensive settlement of
Bayon Mound ln Mississippi, where
on ground that was a desert 20 years
ago there are factories, mills, banks,
schools, churches.1 everything to con

Portland, Dee. 4. To the Editor of
The Journal As much Is being said
aoout tne senatorial question In Oregon,
will you kindly give space ln The Jour
nal for the views of an Independent
voter, one who votefl for the Statement
No. I men elected In Multnomah county,
who also voted for Jonathan Bourn at
the preceding election, not because they
were Republicans, but because.' they
stood for a .principle: and I voted for
Chamberlain last June, not because he
was a Democrat, but because he stood
for tha same principle of government hv
the people. Chamberlain was tha pholce
of the voters of this state, not because
he is a Democrat (whatever that may
be), but notwithstanding he was handi
capped by this fact.
First, a word or two ln resard th
childish plea that la belnsr ufred tiv
some weakmlnded partisans that the se
lection of Chamberlain by tha voters Is
contrary to the United. States constitu
tion. Exactly the same principle Is In-
voirea nere as is round in the election
of the president by the presidential
electors; the constitution says that; .
"Each state shall ; appoint. In such
manner as the' legislature thereof may
direct, a number of electorsrete:"
It then provides for the election of
the president by the electors, and the
framers of tha constitution Intended
that tha electors should be free of any
previous pledge In thJ selection of a
man capable of filling the office of
president. At first the electors were
-ryan as the case might be. And yet
If one of the Taft electors were to vote
for Bryan, these same "antls" her irf
uregon would' be the first to charge
that he had been bought; and so If any
otatemeni ro. l man flops, be will
never be able to convince any honest
man. even among his friends that he
was not 'paid to do It. And If he does
not take tne pay, be only proves him
self a fool as well as a knave, for It
will always bo believed that he took It,
anyhow.
Who are the leaders, anyhow, in this
movement to defeat the popular vote of
tha entire state? They are the members
of the old - political machine that an
long dominated Oregon politics maln'y
Republicans, of course, but amonr them
are some Democrats who under the old
regime were rewarded for their sun-1
