The protection of other homes against such crimes Is the paramount consideration. It ought to be enough to stimulate all Into a keen surveillance of every cir cumstance and person that might in any way be suspected. ' But, in addition, there is a sub stantia.! money consideration for his arrest. The reward offered by the governor and the fund raised by The Journal through the cooperation of publlo spirited clti-s sens now aggregate nearly $4000 of which $500 goes for information and the balance for the arrest It Is public safety and a public duty to clear tip this mystery. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY and the people .'of Portland are still oa trlalJ We have had loud profes sions of desire for a change. We had a campaign la which every can didate declared himself a wheel horse v of commission government. We had classes and masses, elements and factions, high brows and so-called boneheada all howling their heads off, for commission government. Are all going to be as sincere after election aa were their ' professions of sincer ity before election? There 'la not one reaaon in the world why Portland should not have a splendid . government. It is a splendid city of good-lntentioned people. It Is a city that ill deserved the mad menagerie of foolishness that it haa been wont to have, at the city hall. The state Is always excel lently officered, and the same ehar- lacter of government is possible In the state's chief city. It Is more than six months until the charter election. It is time enough for a charter to be prepared, for Its provisions to be discussed. and for the great conflict over Its Issues to be fought. Dut those charged with responsi bility In Its preparation have no time to lose In the great work that Is before them. They are very much on trial.

THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE T HE LONG heralded strike of the seamen on the great ocean going steamships of the world has broken out at Livemool and at other European ports. Ship owners have hitherto refused recog - nltlon of the International Sailors' & Firemen's union. But organlza , atlon on sea is following fast on recognition of Unions on land, and, $ apparently, . cannot be longer de clared, " The chief Items of the men's de- - roanda are stated to be, a conciliation boards a minimum crale of manning ehlj. repreaentaUorn of thevunlon at 'the signing of new men, fixed hours of labor, payment for over time, im proved . fqrecastle ' accommodations; r a,nd better food. . f . . The strike was practically unlver ". , ' l at Liverpool,. Antwerp, Amster 1 dam, and other, Enrppean ports, and , waa Imminent also at -rfovthampton. T HERE IS refreshing assurance in the statement that John Jacob Astor is deeply Interest ed in the proposed trans-Amer ican highway. There are dlvera practical ways In which multi-mil Uonairea could ,be of great service to the country, and this is one. Du pont, the millionaire powder manu facturer, has set an example by of fering to build a $2,000,000 highway across Delaware If the state will agree to maintain It. A great national macadam from the Atlantic to the Pacific and an other from the lakes to the gulf would be a master strategy In aid of .the Seelng-Amerlca-Flrst move ment. It would open the way for thousands to see their own country to whom that privilege is now de nied. In contemplation, it would expand the mental horizon of our own people, and cause them to think on broader and nobler lines. Such a highway would be the most powerful of all Influences to stimulate the states into good road building. On such a theme, the preachments of a million orators and agitators and uncounted tons of good roads literature would not be so effective. The actual sight of the great road stretching from ocean to ocean and becoming at once the boulevard for hosts of travelers, would count with telling effect In teaching men the value and Im portance of civilized roads for civ IHzed men. American tourists are spending $400,000,000 annually in Europe. Such national highways as are pro posed would secure the spending of lot of this stupendous sum In our own America, and bring here a heavy contribution of shekels from Eu ropean tourists. If Mr. Astor will organize a lot of his multl-milllon-alre friends for doing team work In these roads, he will have found an activity In which millionalredom can prove itself a national blessing. THE FERST STEP R' EAT, PROGRESS was m,ade for a changed government in Port land yesterday, when the city council named the 9th day of next January as the date for a vote by the electorate on a commission charter. The ordinance calling the election was prepared at the instance of Mayor-Elect Rushlight, and passed unanimously under the leadership of Councilman Baker. So far, the mayor-elect has made a serious . business of his campaign promise for commission government. Councilman Baker, .who led the fight has also considered his ante election promise eerlously. St) have" the other members of the council, j But the city administration, those who are to prepare the new charter. IVE 07 TUB graduates from the forestry department of the Oregon Agricultural college are entering the forest service of the nation. The head. of that de partment and three of his class also have employment for the summer under the forest service. This Is but a young department of the O. A. C. and its growth and use fulness is but recently begun. But Its graduates will not for many a year have to wait for their life work. The art and mystery of forest man agement, the science of forestry In America, is but in Its infancy, com pared with lta national Importance in France, Germany and India. According to the report of the na tional conservation commission. transmitted -to congress by President Roosevelt, January 22, 1909, for estry Is now more or less practiced ! on 70 per cent of the national for ests, and on less than one per cent of forests privately owned, the last of which n6w contain four fifths of the standing timber, of rthe nation. Altogehter only about 18 per cent of all th.e forests is under any kind of scientific care or management. Since 1870 forest fires have de stroyed a yearly average of fifty lives and timber to the value of 60,000,000. The young growth destroyed by fire Is worth far more than the merchantable timber burned. But the commission reports that In its opinion, by proper measures of fire control, forest fires can be practically stopped at a cost yearly of one fifth of the merchantable timber burned. Its summing up of the whole situ ation is found in the expression of the belief that under right manage ment our forests will yield over four times as much as now. It looks, then, as If these gradu ates' can see their life work ahead of them in the foreets of this coast, whose extent is so vast that not one of these men can be, except at rare intervals, within hailing distance of his neighbors. joined Into a national network of high waya vaster than and aa. enduring aa that which bound together the Roman Empire. by 100 per cent. haa been Increased from one to two. a a The neoole' of Portland hava ileelAad irrj? la"? worthy sto oVVir: million people that Portland will be In a vary few years. that the development of a vaat and ad. quate ayatem of highways to meet the requirements of the phenomenal In ereaae in automobile trafflo bears no Governor Wllaon appears now to have relation to atate boundaries, and that the Inalde track and long lead for the jjemocrauq nomination ror preaiaeni, but It will be over year yet before the nomination la made. e ,e .

DECLARATION OP LONDON A BHOkT EXPLANATION of what Is known as the declara tion of London will serve to mark another of the steps of the associated nations towards avoid ing future quarrels. The declaration In question was arrived at by the ten maritime nations at the confer ence In Iondon which closed in Feb ruary, 1909 but Great Britain re served the right to consult her col onial nations which were already providing themselves with naval forces for protection In time of war. The Imperial conference, Just now closing Its sittings in London, has given Its assent, and Canada, Aus tralia, New Zealand and South Af rica, are onw made parties to the de claration. The agreeing powers are, Ger many, the United States, Austria Hungary, Spain, France, Italy, Jap an, Russia, the NetnerTands, Great Britain and her colonies In almost untouched. There Is a railway bridge, but It la from most points In visible, and It la nowhere a great dla- flgurment The unbroken foreat stretches away on all sides Just aa God made It You may wander for houra about the falls and never aee a human being or a trace of man'a handiwork. Then the body or water, though not so great as at Niagara, Is still Immense; the height of th. fall Is more than twice aa great: and the way In which the river Is split up by wood 1 islands and rocks adds much to the beauty of the picture. So docs the contrast between the calm, broad reach above and the sudden plunge and thunder of the chasm. So do the far-rlslng columns of amoke. Perhaps at aome time long ago Niagara may have been as beautiful as tha falls of the Zambesi. To my mind. It la cer tainly not ao now The Barber's Chair.

And that Is -wliy I hate to alt Mo in a barber's easy chair. And alf the while the barber breathea His onion breath Into my face, And hooks his finger 'neath my Hp And drags my mouth all out of place. A bootblack fumbles at my feet And begs and hegs me with a whine To loosen up and come across And let him give my shoes a shine. Because I do not want a shine. Because I hate the barber's hooks. Because I want no shampoo, and Because my faco the barber cooks. Because I -care for no massage, And want no tonic rubbed in me, I hate to do it, but am forced To use a safety razor, aee?

He bad little money, but sufficient for a passage to England, so he went At this time he was 20. After reach inf London he secured cheap lodgings and took every kind of beggarly and unprofitable work. Benjamin West, an American of - Quaker parentage, who later succeeded Blr Joshua Reynolds as president of the Royal Academy, was then at the height - of his fame and Stuart sought him out. It was an anxt lous meeting, this first one, but West became convinced of his talent and took him In, offered him a home and he studied under West. He advanced so rapidly that he Was noon able to help his protector with hia work and to ex ecute original paintings that compared favorably with those of the master.

Neutral vessels, trading to a belligerent port, have been in con stant doubt as to whether certain classes of goods, forming part or all of a cargo, would or would not ex pose them to capture on the high seas by ships of the warring nation. Several instances occurred in the Russo-Japanese war when neutral vessels were carried off to the prize courts for adjudication and several were sunk at sea by the arresting men of war. The right of search of the neutral ships , to determine the nature of their . .cargoes was dis puted. Needless : to say that the Beeds of a fine crop of quarrels were left. Without going .Into details it may be said that these many questions were settled In a fair spirit of give and take. But the rights of neutrals were enlarged. The disposition was to allow the. free transportation of goods not .actually contraband of war to all open ports of an enemy's country. Lists of goods solely or mainly of use for war, and of goods available for possible use In war or peace, were formulated. The general scope of the agree ment was to confine war measures a'VL:A ful lakes of Scotland except from a long distance.

Is rapidly becoming a region of foresta and orchards. It Is estimated that the farmers In the western half of the state are planting 2,000,000 catalpa trees this year and the planting In previoua sea sons will aggregate as many more. - Generally the. catalpa grovea are planted along the Arkansas and Smoky Hills rivers and their tributaries, where soli conditions are perfect for this var iety of forest tree. Hundreds of farmers along th Ar kansas valley, between Hutchinson and the Colorado line, are now. acttlng out catalpa groves. Many are abandoning wheat and corn and other crops because of the promise, of greater returns from the catalpa tree. After 10 years they will be selling lumber for commercial purposes. Within six years the cataipa trees at tain a growth large enough for fence posts. After the first crop of posts Is cut tha second matures in about four years. The ; farmers are planting the yearly sprouts and about 1500 to the acre. 'They cost the growers $5 a thou sand. Corn and potatoes can be raised between the rows the first three years, so the land Is being used while the trees are growing. The largest catalpa farm in western Kansas la. that on the Yaggy plantation, near Hutchinson. The trees there were first set od't 15 yeara ago, and have been yielding an annual crop ot posts, rail The Cactus Center Stage. Th stage from Sage Brush City iour iiours overdue.

It had better use to the fullest extent aU the weapons it possesses. It has judges who could Inflict severer sentences - on criminals and . roughs when caught armed. It haa policemen to keep an eye on hard cases and search them when thev suspect a violation of the law. It has orrtciaLs wno could if they chose, find the pawnbrokers who sell revolvers to minora and revoke their licenses. Even if the national government could be persuaded to undertake the. su pervision of small arms ractories, regu late their output, and keep track of all pistols which went into interstate commerce, ' criminals who wanted them would contlrtu. to get and carry them so long as the Chicago courts and po lice did not mak carrying them ex tremely hazardous. i Tn ahnri the pommunltv ahouM mak a serious, determined, persistent effort to protect itseit. instead oi asking for federal legislation, which would be In effective even.

When the Tribune discussed the ques tion of keeping firearms out of th. hands of criminals It was prepared to coneede that the laws governing the sale of re volvers were being enforced. That they would be Ineffective at the best had to be admitted and .therefore other means of restricting gun toting were consid ered. .
