A LIFE UXE TO THE AFFLICTED
rllE hope of the race la the hu
1 manltarian aide of man. In
everything from- Insect crea
tlon up through the various
species to man, life Is a war of aur-
vlval. Earth, air and sea are a vaat
battle around with each unit of life
flghtlh? for lUelf and the wh61e
game a ceaseless war of. extermina
tion. In the case of man, there Is
here and there a gentler conception
o existence. A phase of it Is illus
trated in the case of the Portland
Open Air sanitarium If there Is an
. Jnsftution In the city, that reflects
credit upon Portland and Portland
era, it la this sanitarium. It is an
asylum with promise of deliverance
to those upon whom the great White
Plague fixes Its deadly tentacles. It
is a rest place and harbor t refuge
for those weary .and spent In, what
. has always seemed a hopeless strug
gle against the Inroads of the disease
.. It Is a beacon light heralding th
good . tidings to consumptives that
there Is hope and life ahead. More
than 90 per cent of tuberculosis pa
..ttentg are .apparently curable,- Is the
Jnnouncement of the Portland Open
Ir sanitarium, after an experience
of five yeaYa In which1!? patients
have been treated. The death rate
trom .tho disease which had been
Increasing steadily in Portland was
Checked in. 1907, was held without
an Increase In 1908, and up to tbe
present in 1909 has been reduced 20
ter cent, and to the sanitarium lg
4ue a large part of the credit.
.The story of the Portland lnsiitu
tion Is well told on another page of
his paper. It Is a narrative of ex
ceeding Interest to every class of
tfeader. It appears in the report of
, 4-. L. Mills, president of the Port
-land Open Air Sanitarium-associa
tion.' It recounts how men in the
deadly embrace of the malady were
brought to the sanitarium, and after
a period of treatment were appar
ently cured and restored to the vigor
and usefulness of life. It shows how
. men and women with humanitarian
Instincts are devoting efforts and
contributing from their means for
the saving of human life and aiding
In the world wide battle against tu
berculosis. , For the year ending
September 1 the Institution received
353 patients, of, whom 46 were incipient-
cases, 71 moderately ad
vanced and 3 far advanced. There

SENATORIAL DEADLOCKS

Mono in the aid rendered patients

ey quite as beneficial Is that it is
holding up the light of scientific
truth, spreading the good tidings of
hope for White Plague sufferers
everywhere, Is by educative example
radiating information about the cor
rect treatment of the malady, and
what is almost best of all, Is creat
ing sentiment and enthusiasm In the
far flung battle against this deadly
foe to human life. It is an enlight
ened activity conducted wholly in
humanitarian endeavor and sus
tained in considerable part by the
contributions of its friends consid
erations that are reflective of very
great credit upon the c'ty and com
munity In which it Is located. It
deserves to be sustained and pro-
moiea, ana every mite contributed
to if gives the lie to the claim that
all the social units in the world have
natures that are cold, sclfigh aud
metallic. The report or the presi
dent elsewhere challenges the atten
tion, of Journal readers, and inci
dentally direct attention to.Mr. Mills
whoae enthusiasm,, vigor and Intelli
gence have been a leading factor in
bringing the institution to its pres
ent splendid position.
HE record, of legislatures In
electing United States senators
is Itself the principal and suf
ncient reason for tne move
ment, the demand, for popular elec
tlon pr seriatorSt, . A contributor. to
the Commoner presents a tabula
tion f senatorial deadlocks occur
ring in the. 15, years from 1891 to
1905, 8h6wlng that In that period
there were 45 contests over senator-
ships, lasting from 7 to 114 days. In
14 of these cases there waa no elec
tlon at all. . In 12 years Delaware
had full representation but two
years. This lack of representation
may not have been very harmful,
but in a majority of cases the men
elected were not at all representative
of the people's interests. They rep
resented special, predatory Interests,
as we all know. Such could be
named by the dozen. The Chicago
Record-Herald, a Republican news
paper, says of the situation in that
state:
Illinois people have a vivid memory of
the last session of the legislature, which
kept the state from being' represented in
the senate during the greater part of the
tariff struggle and then sent down Lorl-
mer. This was not because the state
has a senatorial primary law, but be
cause that law was such a crude. Im
perfect affair that it did not keep fac
tional politics from its evil work.
The day cannot come too soon when
the states compel congress to call a
constitutional convention to do away
with the old system and make the direct
system universal.
But If the legislatures refuse to
make the necessary demand on con-
-gress, what then? Why not adopt
the Oregon plan, and enforce it, in
Illinois, Michigan, New England, and
other shamefully misrepresented i
states? 1

sees the entire collapse of state sov

ure Is overdrawn, the danger txver
.stated, In these articles, yet there is
here a large subject for thought and
discussion. How far Is the federal
government to go? Are there indeed
any limits to its power; as against
the smaller and weaker power of
the states? If the federal govern
ment can tax private corporations
created by the states, what species
of taxation can it not resort to?
The outcome will probably be a re
peal of this law at an early oppor
tunity. It seems to have been a
blunder.

he was a wonder. Figuring that on
an average three months waa devot
ed to the writing of each of the .13,-
000 plays evolved last year, the ag
gregate is 3 9,000 'months, or more
than 3000 years of time expended by
the writers. It was a huge toll on
the time and talents of the country.
It gives something of a glimpse of
the colossal activity into which the
American stage has eventuated,.
Every nook and corner of the
country had its ambitious playwright,
but Los Angeles, New York and
Brooklyn were more prolific than
any other localities in budding ambi
tion. From these, newly fashioned
plays flowed like streams of water
sweeping to the Bea. Of the whole
number not more than two or three
per cent ever saw the gleam of the
footlighU. The rest went Into that
capacious waste basket from which
no literary effort ever rv turns. Of
tboee actually produced scarcely half
a doten survived the exacting teat

the tariff will be a great dis
appointment to multitudes of
Americans. It will please the
protected interests and predatory
politicians nobody else.
Mr. Taft defends and approves the
Payne-Aldrlch tariff law, justifies
and indorses the men who voted for
it, and condemns the courageous,
high principled, patriotic men from
the middle west who opposed that
stupendous swindle, that colossal
fraud, that wholesale, legalized rob
bery of 90,000,000 people.
Mr. Taft's specifications re if
possible more vulnerable than his
generalities. He is either insincere
or Ignorant in discussing, for exam
ple, the lumber schedule. The du
ties are higher than ever before.
' He does complain about the woolen
schedule; he ought to denounce It
as a tremendous crime. It is the
acme of plunder. Mr. Taft does not
delve Into the "tariff on hosiery and
gloves an outrage on every house
wife and working woman in tbe land.
And what of steel and sugar?. Mr.
Carnegie said steel could be pro
duced more cheaply in this country
than anywhere else. He Is right. It

steel? We know; Morgan runs the
government. The sugar trust gets

Nearly all the members of con

The banks bulge with accumu

and strain with tho freightage that

loaded with things that the people

Meanwhile, , we hear the melan
choly note of the katydid, telling in
Insistent iteration that the summer
is gone, the harvest is reaped, the
winter Is coming.
But spite of the monotonous
gruesome Katydid, September is a
glorious month. She may weep some,
but In her weeping is richness here
after. September is a matron su
preme, triumphant, golden glorious.
Her hair is turning a little gray,
she dresses in modest gray costume;
but she keeps open house for the
