Then he GLIMPSES OF CHINA G in HINA IS A country of vast and Varied natural resources, and there are evidences that some localities it is noTso un progressive as, most Americans im aglne. A traveler visiting Talyuanfu a city of 60,000 and the capital of Shanst province, for instance, would bo surprised at the modern improve ments, reports the American consul at Amoy. The streets are broad and well paved, and lined with cement drains, and there are electric lights telephones, modern school and col lege buildings, foreign goods shops, thousand uniformed police, and a uniformed street sweeping brigade School girls may be seen marching In public parades, and women go about freely shopping and caLing, much as in an American city. .The people are favorablerto foreign prod ucts and the stores carry a great variety of American goods. But- while' this city and the few others reached by a railroad have thus become modern most of Shansi proyince has made scarcely any pro gress In hundreds of years. Even Sianfu, the capital, a city of 800,000, Is at yet una wakened to progressive Influence. The 'building of a rail road through, this province will bring about rapid 'and wonderful changes, and this is true of other provinces and cities. Chengtu, the capital of the province of Szechuan, with335,000 inhabitants, has broad, well paved streets, and the finest shops of any Chinese city i except Canton. Chengtu Is 2l00 miles up the Yangtze river, and foreign goods and ideas penetrrte bo far slowly, but the 200 missionaries In that city; and .vicinity have had an educa tlonal Influence. The Chengtu plain, 90 miles long by 45 miles wide, Is "a veritable gar den spot," and has been irrigated for more than 2000 years. The province of Szech,uan has a popula tion of 80,000,000, and when the Hankow-Szechuan railroad, now building, is completed, its commerce and industries ' will greatly develop. It is expected that important public works will be Inaugurated, and the cities will install electric lighting plants and machinery for. Industrial factories, affording a great field for American manufacturers. What is good for the gander is not poison for the goose.

The farmer, he said, "has been poisoned - by the virus with which the political atmosphere has been impregnated" . and so turned against his protectors. ,4 Perhaps the farmers were not so much, deceived as the senator pro ; fesses to believe. Perhaps, on the contrary, they have recently become more enlightened on the subject of V protection, and have discovered that they get little if any benefit from it; that; In fact, it is Imposeihle to bene fit them by protective duties when they "have a. surplus of products which must be marketed abroad. It is . very strange, indeed. If nearly all the newspapers, and magazines and the more intelligent, progressive and In dependent men of the country were mistaken last year on tbls question, and it would be . stranger Btill if without any pre-arranged concert of ' action they Joined in an effort to , deceive: the farmers and do them in Jury.

HAT KIND OF cheap liter ature are "Portland boys reading? What kind of pictures are they seeing at the nickelodeons? What klnd of scenes do they see in picture nd story to fire their imaginations with fancies about banditti, outlaw he roics and other phases of crime? Two boys of 16 and 17, respect ively, figured in an attempted hold up in Portland last week, and are under sentence to the reform school, but paroled. They were masked, and when 'they made their attempt, pointed loaded revolvers In the face of a woman. They carried chloro form at d the other devices for play ing the hold-up game. An Inquiry into their antecedents revealed that they frequented picture shows and were readers df trashy dime novels. The lad over whom the probation officers of the Juvenile court, had the controversy desired to be a cowboy. He secured a horse from a local sta ble and failed to return It. He rode it out to a distant farm, and there expected to engage in the cowboy heroics that he had read about in cheap stories. Two incidents within a week are food for parents and authorities to, reflect upon. We are spending a lot of public money to exterminate the fruit pests. We are paying out large sums to protect the health of plants and animals. Last week, af forded conclusive proof of ruin that is falling on te young boys. What are we doing to save them? Is any body paying attention to the deadly literature? :. Is anybody paying any attention to the nickelodeons? regard them as any more offensive than many other things now worn by women.. 1 'TELL MOTHER I'M SORRY" B' OYS WHO ARE starting out on a criminal career," or who are toying with the temptation to do bo, might with profit con sider the case of the young high wayman who diet!" in Seattle twg days agd, having been fatally shot while engaged in holdup, lh which a policeman was murdered. This highwayman and murderer was only 22 years old, and the only excuse he gave for his crime was that he could not get work. This is not true, and even if true would not have been sufficient excuse, ,Hewent out to rob, and if necessary.to kill. He did kill, and was lucky to be killed him self, rather than hanged later. Just before dying he asked that word be sent to his mother. "Tell her," he said, "that 1 am sorry I turned out bad." ; , . But he should have thought of his mother, and of the consequences of bad conduct, before; his Borrow at the end, and his mother's greater sorrow, availed nothing. This young man doubtless began years ago to smoke cigarettes; be chose bad com pany, ilked vile language and hated work. He thought idleness, vice and criminal pleasure smart, and the means of happiness, but at 22 he is buried in a felon's srave, and his mother's heart-is laden with a great burden of sorrow that can never be lifted or lightened. . No, boys, the life of vice and crime never pays. , V ture simple courses in. household economy and hygiene- would fill to great advantage time taken from the harder, one might say the coarser sides of masculine work on the farm Letters From tKe Peopls UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE A UNION OF THE state univer sity and agricultural college has been suggested. The sug gestion alleged that unifica tion would be In the interest of econ omy. In Illinois the two are com bined, and the legislature of that state Is about voting the sum of $3,500,000 fot buildings and main tenance. So heavy an appropriation for an institution already equipped with magnificent buildings and plant falls, to prove that union would les sen expenditure. , The question of expenditure does not depend upon union, but upon the larger consideration of how the money is spent. The wide differ ence in the character of the work makes it doubtful if any good end Is served by combining a university and , ah agricultural college, any more than Joining a girls' finishing school and a theological seminary. In almost every instance in which It has been tried. Jt has been ex tremely detrimental to the agricul tural college. The agricultural feat ure is swallowed up by the cultural and the ends of the federally en dowed agricultural college eubordi nated. At Berkeley where there Is unification of the institutions, a graduating class of several. hundred a few years ago numbered one grad uate in the agricultural course, and she was a woman. BELLIGERANT PROBATION OFFICERS ' An' Ideal Automobile Trip. Portland, Feb. 24. To the Editor "of The Journal In your Issue of July 31, 1910, there was an article entitled "An Automobile Route That Excel la All." It was one Of the very best articles I have ever read, and the description of the country it passed through could hardly be improved. Now the time is near at hand when work can be started on such projects as tola, and It would be a very rood thing If you would re publish the above named article,, eo as to atlr up -the people who should be interested In this wonderful trip. f- This automobile route would be great factor in the development' of the country it passes through, and would be quite a treat to vUltng buslhesa men and tourists. The country west of the Coast range of mountains in Qregon is practically unknown even to the people of Portland who are, only a few mlltiM away. Such a road would, bring people in touch with the wonderful natural re sources of this country and would re sult in building up many rpcpepetous towns and cities where there la now nothing more than a wilderness. Tillamook county alone with its won derful timber and good harbors and rich soil will return millions of dollars for. the few thousands spent on good roads, etc. . . . . I hope., you will use the Influence of your valuable paper to get this project started aa soon as possible. J. T. COYLE. PERIODICAL LOCUSTS N' OT ONLY THE 17-year locusts but the 13-year locusts are due to appear in this country next summer. The 17-year locuBts are officially designated by the bureau of entomology as Brood If, and the 13-year locusts as Brood XXni a conjunction of 13 and 23 must be a sign of no end of ill luck. Yet let us not worry overmuch. At their last appearance the 17-yoar locusts spread over only a narrow strip along the Atlantic coast from New York to North Carolina, and were not so numerous and destructive as on former occasions. The other brood visited 13 years ago. the Mis sissippi valley from southern In diana and IllinoiB to Louisiana, But whether the expectations of a revlsitation of these pests to thcjse regions be realized or not, the people of the Pacific northwest have no ap prehensions. .

The main bus iness of probation officers is to teach youth the ways of rectitude, good order and peace, not disorder and war. . . The He passed by one probation official to another is no better or softer word than when passed by one town hoodlum to another, it was a most unique if not a terrifying situation, when ono officer attempted to pull the delinquent boy in one direction and the other Bought to drag him the opposite way. All this and fhe apparently lramipent proB pect 'of- a resort to upper cuts, smashes to the Jaw and short arm Jabs could. not have. added to the moral well being of the boy, nor to the peace, dignity or sanctity of the court. . , Naturally, when the Juvenile Judge arrived and learned particulars, he ordered an armistice and requested resignations. All the evidence shows that discipline was as needful for the probation officers as for the delinquents.. The Father of Efficiency. From the Technical World Magasine. "Give an American a few tons of dy namite and a mountain to bore through in a month and he is happy," said an efficiency engineer to me the Wthor day. "Americana love to do big things In a great hurry. They despise small things. , A structural shop orders The supplies from a rolling mill. "She big beams are promptly shipped. The angles and smaller : pieces do, not come for weeks or months. The superintendent of the structural shop pleads for per mission to begin work Immediately on material i not deliverable for three months. If permitted to, do the work ahead of time he clamors for permission to ship it. He is always ahead on big I wofr, aiwayu oenina on small worn, ana this means a great waste of time and energy." . . But we are coming to the day w'nen the smaller things, will be recognised as of as much importance in the prob lem of production aa the larger, the day when the7 man beside the machine and his capacity for work and wage will be more closely, considered. In fact. tn certain centers where the big actlvl ties hold Sway there 1st already a mighty and successful effort toward right plan ning, right execution, and right reward for the toller. In these places such marvels of economy are being wrought by bright master minds as to stag ger the imagination of the men of the old school of wasters whose motto was "Get there," and who recked not of the cost. ' ' . ' : . .
