A PROBLEM T T IS A MISTAKE to insist tnai there la a union or non-union is sue In tomorrow's election. comparatively few peoplo mayNie voting on that Issue, but the great mass is not. It was a blunder to attempt to ralia such an Issue. Portland Is not and has not boon. In the throes of a labor war. it is siupinuy oy imp lication to give the impression abroad that we are fighting out elec tions here on such Issues. The election oT Rushlight would not be a union victory. The defeat of Rushlight would not be a union defeat. The election of whichever candidate that may succeed will have no significance on that subject Rushlight has pledged htmself to enforce law and order. Simon has promised to enforce law and order. Thomas has promised to enforce law and order. If either after elec tion falls to do so, he will be re called. That Is the beginning and the end of It. and Portland. Oregon, end the country ran be perfectly as sured that no matter what candi date wins. Portland will continue peaceful and orderly because its people will Insist that It continue to be peaceful and orderly.

THE ABOLISHMENT OP WAR 1 1 rr HE ABOLISHMENT of war has been very slowly moving to ward complete fulfillment First Individual warfare went. and. law having been Introduced. 'quarrels between two were settled by established rules. Next trlbel g quarrels were withdrawn from trial , I out by battle, and settled by so tie jklnd of mediation. It was a long step forward when nations, big or ."little, refrained from warfare, gave jjy..t0 peaceful influences, and set- r tled their national differences' peace- ; fully . f A deep-seated distinction must be ' marked. When terms were imposed jby Judge or arbitrator In some prl vate or tribal quarrel there was be- , hind the decision a power of en lorcemem. out wno snouid en force an agreement between nations tin case one party refused obedience? If the stronger nation desired the agreement carried out the weaker dared not oppose. But if hesitation . to consent to the decree was on. the ' side of the stronger battalions who should enforce it? The more seri ous the quarrel, the more closely . It touched "vital Interests or na tional honor," the greater would ; be the difficulty of coming to an agreement and then compelling Itw acceptance. , - How comes then the tide, sweep l Ing civilized nations on to arbltra- tlon treaties covering all grounds, national Interests and honor ln- eluded ? VarfotiR forces are making them selves felt among nations as In in- l dividual cases public opinion gov- jerns. In creating this national public opinion the conscience of the lndl- vldual tells. The conimon neonl are coming into their own. They ' are heard through newspapers, they f speak In public meetings, they In- fluence trades-unions. It is a start .,Ilng fact to statesmen and soldiers of the old regime that labor dele ? gates, and Socialists of many grades, fiind speaking many tongues, at all their recent congresses have serl tj(ously considered the calling of gen Ijeral strikes throughout the opposing Rations as an immediate conne quence of declaring war.

The farm of a former clt lr.en, who recently v visited the dla trict. Is now a part of a 3000 acre ranch. The larger holding Instead of being peopled by many families with many children Is worked by hired men. The former resident say rural activities in that section are passing into the hands of hired men and bachelors. It was by such an evolution that the population of Iowa actually de creased in the past decade. It Li by similar change that some of, the eastern Oregon counties have loat population. The small farmer sells out and several farms are grouped Into one large holding by a single owner, often a nonn-esident. On the 3000 acre Walla Wn'Ia ranch the cook Is a Chinaman. The others on the place are a boss and the hired men. The women, the chil dren and the family life are gon? The spot Is a social desert. It In life reduced to the bare business of mere farming. The school house Is deserted. The shouts and laughter of chlldreri have died out. Aside from the Improved Implements, ma chlnery and tools In use on the farm. conditions have gone backward to ward the primitive status. It is civ. Ulsaton retrograded. , It is one reason why cities grow Man Is a gregarious animal. He seeks a social relation. He wants the mellowing Influences of human association for his children.

Is this a reasonable restraint of trade? It surely Is an Inevitable one while present conditions endure. Is this an Illegal state of affairs? If not, is It against the public in terest? Looking calmly . on, It seems aa If the enormity of the cor poration and Its affairs and transac tions constituted a great public dan ger, even If not a present detriment. The handling of lta affairs will change radically, and the public has no guarantee of prudence and re straint In the conduct of It. On what principle can the capital children grew Into fifties, then into hundreds. One house after another was added to the Stepney Home, as the orphans overflowed. Great sums flowed Into his treas ury, and by degrees he was snowed under in the work of management and administration. Then the homes at Ilford were secured.

Mr. Gary THE STEEL CORPORATION HE CHIEF executive officer of the United States Steel corpor ation, Elbert H. Gary, being under examination by the Stanley committee of the house of representative, assumed a position which Is a surprise to nine tenths of the people of the United States. In the first place he declared that his corporation has no secrets, but that every detail of Its property and business Is already In possession of the government bureau of corpora tions, and, hag been accumulating there for years. So far, then, the corporation has done in one great operation what a continuing super- ision of corporations act would de mand periodically and regularly. On the other hand Mr. Gary com plains that the corporation la none the better off, since It has bad no light thrown on the question, "are we complying with the Sherman anti-trust law, and If not what shall we do to bring ourselves within Its terms?" In response to otter ques tions he expressed himself as leer ing iharrlhe Standard Oll declsloa says boldly that he would hail the control by a government office of the transactions and of the profits of his corporation. That would be novel principle to invoke. It Is seemingly reasonable that a govern ment office might have something to say on price to be paid on ores and Lnd ther9 he lned.

THE BALLOT MEASURES r AN ADVERTISEMENT on an other page the Taxpayers' league makes recommendations relative to the ballot measures in tomor row' election. In the main. The Journal agrees with the recommend ations of the league. In -the matter, however, of the public auditorium, The Journal dis sents. It believes that the bonds for the auditorium ought to be voted. and that the interests of Portland would be tremendously furthered by thr expenditure. It dissents rela tive to the south Portland bridge bond Issue on which the league ad vises a negative vote. Voters have had abundant oppor- and his family ate and .more than all they wore. . Thus the farmer Buf fered as much from the rise of prices as the townsman. This 1b one of the directions in which life on the land has profited, and is. profiting, by Intensive farm ing. The farmer of small acreage raises his ownafrults, vegetables, and grains, butter, cream, bacon, meats, eggs, poultry, honey and probably adds his catch of trout, or his kill ing of game. While he and his fam lly enjoy they generally omit to fig' ure up. and credit the farm with. the value of the products they con sume. To a large extent they profit, instead of Buffering, from the rise of prices especially .as that they may always have a surplus of high priced product to sell. And what a healthy menu it is!

This is the largest omhan asv- um in the world, that is supported absolutely by the free gifts of all classes. . -The term "grown, not made," Is absolutely true of the Barnardo Homes. Dr. Barnardo was Just a young physclan ready to begin practice, when the pitiful rags and hunger drawn features of a boy, begging in the strand, struck his heart, and he drew the boy to him, took him home, warmed, fed and cjothed him.

It may throw 'some light on the possi bilities at Panama. , : - In 1909,' '4229 -v; vessels passed through the canal, with tonnage of 15,407,027. Of these 2911 were merchant ships, 972 mail steamers, and 104 men of war and transports. The average net tonnage-has risen from 1000 ons in 1871 to 200Q tons in 1890. and to 8635 tons in 1909.

It is only of recent years that minute and patient study into their nature, their history, their modes of life and developmept, by trained ob servers In agricultural' colleges, and from federal bureaus, has yielded any hope for saving orchards and gardens from their ravages. This 1b one of the directions in which the most hardened followers of the prac tical is willing to leave the scientific nan to show and lead the way. There Is no royal road to this learning. These enemies must be followed into the inmost recesses of their activities, and fought by meth ods learned In the orchards where theyare at .work. , This Is but one of the many ways in' which the nation and the state reap tremendous divi dends on the monies Invested in the colleges and laboratories where this work is followed out. The agricultural college of Oregon Is hi the van of her Bister institu tions. It is announced that a thor ough campaign against these orchard pests has been arranged and that by July 1 six workers will be in the field at various points in the or- number of inhabitants." Olcott and the State Printer. From the Pendleton Eaat Oregontan. In view of the big profit made by the state printer, Secretary of State Oloott Is absolutely right la asking Mr. Dunlway to move his plant out of the state house so as to provide needed room for officials. At this time the offioe of the state printer Is a private snap and a profit' ble one. , The plant In use Is privately owned by Mr. Dunlway -and under the circumstance he may well afford to obtain quarters outside the state house and so relieve the congestion In that building. Further sympathy for Secretary Ol cott In this fight should come because of State Printer Duniway's opposition to the enactment of the flat salary bill by the legislature. Two years ago he opposed the passage of such a bill by the legislature and It was killed. This year he also opposed the measure and It would have been lost again had not Governor West taken a .firm stand for the e form and literally forced the leg islature to enact a flat salary law which. however. Is not to be effective until the expiration of Mr. Duniway's present term. Vicarious Relief. From The Throne. Doctor What your husband needs.

Giuseppe del Falegnaml, via dl Marforio, Rome, which Is generally accepted as the prison In the middle of the city overlooking the Forum, referred to by Llvy, In which St. Peter and St. Paul were Imprisoned. It Is, next to the walls of the Roma Quadrats, the earliest building-extant. The Mamertlne prison consists of two chambers, on above the other. The lower, known as the Tullianum, was probably built originally as a cistern, whence Its name, which is derived from the archaic Latin word Tullius, a jet. of water. The Tullianum is a circular chamber, partly excavated from the rocks and partly built of tufa blocks, each layer of masonry projecting a little over that Immediately below, so as to form a conical vault. When the upper chamber was constructed, the top of the cone was probably cut off, and the pres ent roof, consisting of a flat arch of tufa, blocks, substituted. The upper chamber of this prison is on irregular quadrilateral, and con tains an Inscription recording a restora tion made In A. D. 21. Sallust describes the Tullianum, or lower chamber, as a harrible dungeon, "repulsive and terrible on account- of neglect, dampness and smell." In the floor of the Tullianum Is a well, which, according to the legend, miracu lously came Into' existence while St. Peter -was imprisoned here, enabling the apostle to baptise his Jailers, Sts, Pro cessus and' Martlnlanus. The well, how ever, existed . prior to this date, ' and there Is no reliable evidence .that the chief of apostles was ever imprisoned in the Tullianum. r The Acts of St, processus and Mar tlnlanus -'are of the sixth centtyy. The two chambers are at present con nected by a stairway, but ' originally tnere was no means. or. communication of the upper chamber, . through which such famous prisoners as King Jugurtha and the Catiline conspirators were thrown Into the lower dungeon, where they died of starvation or were strangled. The name mamertlne prison Is medie val, and is probably derived from the temple of Mars Ultor In the vl.-lnltv. The medieval "Iti.-:rary" of Kfnsledcln, a 11 tides to the ":.untaln of St. Peter, where also U his prison." Fronvthe eigntn century the tradition of the Acts or bis. processus md Martlnlanus, rela tive to tne imprisonment of St. Peter in tne Tumanum, was universally ac. ceptod. V When the upper chamber was built. presumably for a prison, according to Llvy, the builders discovered the earlier Du:imng oeiow it and made an awkward connection by cutting off the upper part of the false dome and covering the opening witi riat slabs which formed the floor of the upper chamber, with a connecting- trap door. This floor waa considerably above the level of the rorum. on tne declivity, and wa reached br a flight of stair called the Scalae Gemonlae ("stairs of sighs"), where the execution of important pris oners took place and their bodies were expuauu auring toe triumphal proces sions, before the ascent to the capitol. The Mamertlne prison Itself Is connected with many of the most tragic events of Roman history. , Its horrors were de scribed byJBaUust. King. Jugurtha was starved in It, and Lentulus, Cethegus. and others who htJa conspired with Catiline, were killed' here. It was in this prison that Julius Caesar,, during his triumph for the con quest of Gaul, caused hl gallant enemy Verclngetorlx to he put to death. tThe spot Is more Interesting to the Christian world as the prison of the two apostles, snd for that reason,, since the fifteenth i century. It has been .called San Pietro j In Carcere. 'i.tf - " : Tomorrow-rllie Tower of LondonV Ihe Maryland Plan. From the St Louis Times. The most sensible Idea that has yet been advanced anywhere relative to the care and control of Inebriates comes from Maryland. Plans are well' under way to erect In Baltimore, at a cost of shout 1100.000, an Institution where In dividuate who habitually Buffer from drunkenness may be treated, according to a new and wholly promising method. It Is the plan of tha promoters of this movement to Induce the state to "sen tence" Its inebriates to a term In the new institution.

A- large plot of land 1 to be secured and industries of various kinds are to be maintained. A patient who knows trade will be placed at Work at his trade. Men who have no trade will be com pelled to labor. Professional people, we presume, will be compelled to continue to take It easy. It fs believed that by this plan pa tient will pay their own way, and doubtless some of them will prove prof itable to the Institution. Treatment will be given as in the average sanatorium, though we holier the best "treatment" of all will be the necessity of. working and remaining under a measure of restraint This, it seems to us, Is Infinitely bet- ! ter than the experiment of many well- meaning people, who too often make the mistake of frying to legislate the entire community Into a state of discomfort, if not of bankruptcy.
