To the Editor of The Journal Noting your editorial, "Man out of Work," and granting all you say is true, In some degree at least, yet I am obliged to differ with you in that "hungry mechanic's case Is an ex ceptional one. Although from your point oi view it may seem so. . : I speak from actual experience, for during the last two years here In Port land, and while I know there are many places I am qualified to fill creditably I am yet In the ranks of the unemployed, aa also seem to be many of my neigh bors, and I know it Is not due to any lack of Initiative, 'for. weary weeks have lengthened Into months, .while daily searcn ana personal application has been made In every quarter .'of the town ahd In every branch of business,' resulting in an occasional odd job at any old price in the vain hope that willingness shown to do good work at less than a living wage might bring steady and re munerative employment - " , v Many unemployed- men have families dependent upon them, yet are forced to labor far from home on such terms that few dollars are left to their families af 'ter their own fixed and necessary ex periences are paid, and their wives and children are forced to take such work as they can in order to obtain the barest necessities of life. Other married men are unable to le.ve their families and are equally unablo to take them along for good and sufficient reasons and among them are many hungry mechan ics. Unattached men by the thousands can be found In this city, principally herding in the vicinity of the employ ment offices, tho great majority of whom are of that coarser fiber that brooks no refusal if work is in eight ! and who are good and -willing workers when opportunity, offers. , . , . i No; the truth is, man's lnhumanitv to man. coupled with misrepresentation ahd graft has steadily and persistently ex ploited and peonlzed labor until endm. anee has ceased to be the virtue it once was, and in Its place is a growing feel ing of desperation- that about 100 years ago broke out Into that volcano of retri. butlon known as the terror, and "from which thereK are present elena that tha clae of -this country would do- well tcH need Deror it snail be foo late. - .? , .

No woman who has figured In the literary' world has a more Interesting or charming history, aside from her work, than Charlotte Bronte, whom all women know through her fascinating piec Of f lotion, "Jane Eyre." Most Of them are also acquainted with the pretty life story of the poor minister' daugh ter, who, by her own talents and 'energy, won such an Important place among authors. . '..-- Charlotte (and her sister Emily), who also attained considerable distinction in the world of letters, was brought up In and about the humble parsonage at Haworth, After their mother died the ( sister were left : very much to themselves; and. deprived of all com panionship of their own age, they were driven to seek an Inner world, the world Of their own dream and fancies. , . It was In this hard, lonesome school that Charlotte's mind, was shaped for the work which, all' unknown to her, lay before her. ,. When the time came She did the work gloriously well, as all the world has agreed, but it Is safe to ay that she might not have succeeded as well but for the desolation of that early home and the dreariness of these ugly , moorlands.; ': ' 7 ' ".ttv' , -'; rr-i'-, -.
