LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
- i i i ii 1 1 i .
, Carrying Anns Defended.
" Portland, Or., Jan. II. To the Editor
of The Journal. In, a recent Issue of
The Journal was a very' good-letter on
concealed arms by J. C Whitney. Mr.
Whitney, I believe, states facts when he
says, "the thug has been. Is. and always
will be armed, except while' in the cus
tody of officers. No law would please
the crook more than one so stringent
that all honest men would cease to carry-concealed
means of defense."
Some years ago, when the holdups
were coming thick and fast (I believe)
the ' authorities and papers rather en
couraged all reputable citizens to go
armed and use gun if found necessary,
then later on soma cltlsen who was
held up puts a gun in his . pocket for
protection, a few nights later was ar
rested and fined 150.
This was, I think, great encourage
ment to the thugs. A short time ago
if I am not mistaken, I read In your
paper where some of our authorities
stated that while they had no authority
to allow any one -to go armed, advised
that a good revolver be kept handy in
case of need. Now the latest Is, the
city council has passed an ordinance
making it a heavy penalty for
carrying concealed arms. This cuts
off in many cases the only means
of protection that many of our
residents have. I think that very few
believe that this will stop much crime
or prevent many murders and person
ally, I believe, it to be on of the best
things that could have happened, i. e.
for the thugs and crooks, for they will
go armed the same as before and will
soon know that they have little to fear
as they are assured that the honest man
won't dare make any resistance nor go
armed for fear of being fined. The
honest man who has a dark, lonely way
to go home late at night now has the
additional risk of being fined for try
ing to protect himself. Instead of hav
ing to run only the risk of being held
up as formerly. I believe now as I did
In my letter to your paper under date
of December 6, 1908, that when the
holdup men and thugs are put out of
business, there will be no need of car
rying arms and that the aale of arms
(especially revolvers and pistols)
should be restricted so that only repu
table citizens could get them. If the
crooks were all known and could be dls
armed as soon as they reach our city
limits, then the ordinance Just passed
would be a good one. L. 8. WRIGHT.
Back to the) Farm.
Portland, Or., Jan. 21. To th Editor
of The Journal Very often we see artl
cles in your valuable paper about "Back
to the SoU." etc. I believe that 90 per
cent of the people that would go on the
farm are people without money enough
to buy even a cow, but nevertheless
honest, sober, hard ' working people
Those that would "make good" on the
farm. " Biif'how are 'they ever going fd
get money enough ahead to buy the
cow, much less anything; more? The
people that would be glad to go back
to th soil are working today for wages
ranging from 11.50 to 82.60 per day, or
(which la still worse), have no work at
all. Now, under the present conditions,
high price of living, etc., where are they
financially at the end of a year?
With the average wage paid today and
the present expense of living, a man
would be old and muoh worn out by
hard work before he could save money
enough to buy stock and farm Imple
ments to run a 10 acre farm, much less
buy the farm.
One remedy (as I see it) la to take
the money that is now used to got more
"easy marks" here and buy land, divide
it In suitable tracts, build houses, barns,
etc., and stock It Put a good, honest.
Industrious man on It, with a contract
fair to both parties, with a settlement
semi-annually or oftener if desired, pay
lng a reasonable rate of Interest and
all that they could on the principal. If
the millions used In advertising were
used In this way, it would not be neces
sary to send a special car of real estate
men through the east to tell the people
that Oregon Is a good place to live and
make money. This state would be ad
vertised In such an honest way that
within a very few years every small
farm would be the home of a contented
and prosperous farmer. Some would
"fall down," but the majority would
make good, and the man that furnished
the money would get good returns from
hiB investment, both in money and satis
faction, knowing thathe has helped his
fellow man to a home and an oppor
tunity to provide food and raiment for
his family. If there is a man, a real
estate firm or a commercial body that
has 40 or 60 acres within 20 miles of
Portland, near to church and school, that
Is willing to take a chance and demon
strate to the people that a small farm
will pay in Oregon, I am the man with
out the money.
"WOULD-BE FARMER."
Who Shall Pay for Streets?
Portland, Jan. 30. To the Editor of
The Journal When a town is located
and started in some favorable locality
In a new country the streets are laid
out according to plans and specifica
tions of the authorities of the town,
while land owm rs outlde of the corpo
rate limits cultivate their land, build
their houses, etc. As the town grows
larger and there Is more demand for
expansion the land owners sell off some
of their lands In acre or five acre
tracts or in lot aa the case may be.
Now as tht town grows to be a city,
tfiese lands will be needed by the city.
The city acquires additions In various
directions, but It often happens that tne
streets of the city being extended in the
new additions will run against a snag.
There are often lots and houses In the
way. These lots and houses of course
were acquired without a knowledge of
where the city streets would be. For
this reason there is so much trouble in
opening streots in these additions. For
instance. East Seventeenth street soutn
should b opened for traffic. There is
only on street from Brooklyn to Sell
wood, and that is Mllwaukle street It
is not as wide as it ought to be; it Is in
fact the only street south to Mllwaukle,
Clackamas, etc., and a double track
carllne and the Immense lumber and
other trafflo all confined to this street
taxes it to its utmost capacity. The
next street east of Mllwaukle street is
Seventeenth street It was opened
and Improved several years ago to a
point near Insley street at Midway.
However, her the road is blocked by
houses and lots and cannot be opened
until the houses be removed and tha
lota paid for. The city has tried to
open the street for two or three years.
Thoy had it surveyed ami appraised
time and again, but have failed to this
day. Why? Because they could find
no one who would pay th damages.
Now, what is to be done? The city or
the public must have th street In
fact, Mllwaukle street cannot b lm.
proved until Seventeenth street la
opened. It has been proposed to tax
the people of Midway and part. of Sell
wood to pay the damages, but these
people ar under no more obligation
to pay for opening the street than the
people of any other part of the city. Tho
fact Is th peopl up In th city, also
all th people of Sell wood, derive more
benefit from th opening of Seventeenth
street than th peopl who live at Mid
way or along th road to be opened.
The people who" are proposed to be
taxed have no teams nor automobiles
and ar mostly poor and do not ven
need th street In my Judgment th
dry Is in Justice ound to pay th dam
age. No private citttsen should be asked
to pay for a publlo street It could
have been opened long ago if the city
would do Its duty. J. FIRET.
' Thomas Paine.
Portland, Or., Jan. 80. To the Editor
of The. Journal In your Sunday issue
one Daniel M. Conway of Portland sub
mits some very funny quotations from
"The Biblical Museum," supposed to be
In "six volumes." That "Biblical Mu
seum" must be a rare repository of
humorous fiction. Judging from Mr.
Conway's quotations regarding Thomas
Paine. We are all familiar, by this
time, with those stories of the awful
sufferings of "infidels" in their last
hours, and w all note with a smile the
curious similarity of their expressions
of remorse and fear which seem to indi
cate that they all come from the same
workshop.
The writer of this little protest was
reared in the belief that Thomas Paine
was little whiter than the devil, who
was religiously feared by her elders.
When she grew up and decided to decide
some things on the strength of her own
personal investigations, she was sur
prised to find that Thomas Paine was
a temperate, mild masnered, patriotio
gentleman, loving mankind sincerely
and devoutly and believing with all his
veracious soul in the one God. So far
from being an "Infidel," or an atheist,
Thomas Paine today would pass for a
conservative Unitarian.
Those religionists who beat their ter
rible tom-toms, and attempt to drive
frightened sheep into their particular
fold with terrible tales of the sufferings
and fears that torture the dying hours
of free thinkers; with tales of the long
drawn out agonies of hell are living In
the wrong time; they belong in the
twelfth century. Fear is a poison In
the blood. It saps the nervous force
and weakens the mind. A religion that
depends upon the fear of hell for its
stability is bound sooner or later to go
down like a mighty millstone Into the
sea of oblivion, where, I suspect, that
"Biblical Museum" will go with it
As to Thomas Palne's fear of death
and the likelihood that he would recant
what' he had written because of that
fear: Much of "The Age of Reason"
was written in that terrible prison, the
Bastlle, during the French Revolution.
Dally, almost hourly, while ha was en
gaged on this work, he expected to be
taken to the guillotine for execution. So
far from recanting what he had written
because of the fear of death, he wrote
what he did in the expectation of im
mediate death. It is probably too late
for the pious compilers of that "Biblical
Museum" to insert this on significant
fact in their story of Thomas Paine.

Capital Punishment.
Portland, Jan. 28. To th Editor of

with the policy of your paper, I feel
that I may expeot to see this little ar
ticle In print In as much as its publish
ing may right a wrong impression done
by a recent letter.
In a recent Oregonian, L. M. P. made
several statements In support of capital
punishment
I M. P. quoted history showing that
Mehamet All executed 40 men for crit
icising, in order to put an end to a wave
of criticism. When asked as to whether
he had th guilty 40, he replied that it
didn't matter as to that. It stopped
the criticism. The corollary of course
Is that capital punishment is the thing.

of crime. But the causa of the discus-j
sion is mat our system oi cipuu pun
ishment has not been even reasonably
successful In crime obliteration, and
that some really earaest men are seek
ing a better solvent These are men
with new Ideas, with brain not fossil
ized; men who realise that most crim
inals are not born such, but are made so
by our social system. Realization that
society Is the cause of most crime re-
veals the injustice of such a strenuous t
punishment of the individual by society.
The criminal turn hangman.
But the full Import of her argument j
can only be realized when applied to :
other conditions. Hanging 40 innocent!
men to stop criticism ' justifiable.
Killing the last Gallic soldier to report
after bugle call to end tardiness Is ad
visable. By reason of similarity, whole
sale Slaughter of laborers to retard the
labor movement; wholesale Imprison
ment to put an end to free speech and a
free press; wholesale arrests for the
putting forth of the initiative, referen
dum and recall; hanging of students as
they learn new ideas, for new ideas are
but a criticism of old; ail these are jus
tifiable and advisable.
And you, L. M. P., are a mother! May
God grant that your children grow up f
