But. the bill was, framed by the commission after full study of Ger man and English legislation. It waa of the attTBctlons set by the Canadian rr.clflc railroad before the renter farmers of this union. The scheme Is announced from Montreal and la the product ot the natural resources department of the Canndlan Pacific. The company will lend $2000 at 6 per cent to those who can comply with these condi tions. The applicant must ha a mar and by postponing its consideration, hied man, farming a rented farm.

In such states prison .. made goods must be purchased by , Jue atate departments and instltu- y or uieir own use ac prevailing market rates. Trp general sale of prison made goo at la other states would prob J ably be prohibited by law were not , tha purpose of such legislation very generally liable' to defeat by sale of prlaon made feoods brought in from other states. On the prohibition of general out - aide sale of prison made goods the abomination of prison contract labor would disappear, because the system would become unprofitable. . Under that system the state sells tha labor ot its convicts to contract ors, for, say, forty to sixty cents a head. Then commences the slave driving. Worse than slavery, for tha alave owner had some Interest in maintaining the productive effici ency, of the slave. The convict la-j borer la but a machine. When it gives out ohder pressure it it, thrown aside and a new one substituted. Prlaoncontractora have turned out shirts, : overalls, chairs, boots and shoes, brushes, mats and brooms. Outside' the . prisons etrch work is chiefly In the hands of women, of tha blind, and of inmates of philan thropic institutions. In -Minnesota the state prison in dustries carried I on ia , competitioa vltVfree labor or the profit of the tate, beve. for, ten. years past more thift paid tha entire cost of main tenance of the prlsdn. Tho average annual cost of, each, prisoner during the tea .ears' term; was I1S8.70. His earnlnfa $340.86. An a bad year tha pii son returned a profit of -J49.962 tion. It was approved by the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, tbe Order of Railway Conductors, and tho Brotherhood of Railway Train men. The majority of the proposed ob jects are effected. The common law defenses of the fellow servant and contributory negligence doctrines are cut out. Expenslvo and long drawn out litigation will disappear. Medical service for tho injured and a definite scheme of compensation, proportioned in some degree to tho nature of tho accident and to tha pay of tho victim, has been worked out. "Will the house pass tho bill as It now stands? On this there is seri ous doubt. Several senators, and all of them progressives, urged that time be given to secure a more considered hearing of the workmen'!; case. It may bo noted that amendments urged and accepted In the senate de bate were along these lines. Pro visions were added that compensa tion should continue to children of the dead or seriously Injured until j they are sixteen years old, and in case of daughters until twenty, or previous marriage. It is urged that tbe measure su persedes and is exclusive of all other state as well as federal laws on the subject, and that all that can be re covered is what this act provides for. The Atlanta Journal of Labor con siders the compensation albwed is "grossly and Exotesquely Inade quate." But, as It, stands, the bill repre sents the modern conviction that, as the New York World expresses it, "tho lnd.. atrial worker should re ceive some compensation for his in jures corresponding to the soldier's pension for wounds received in battle." make a journey to select his own farm, and have capital enough to purchaso it on ten annual payments and to pay the first Installment. Ha must 'have enough money left to keep his family for a year. Then the Canadian- Pacific rail way will lend him $2000, which is to be spent thus. In building a hou" according to one of the stand ard plans erected by the company on its ready made farms. Next on the erection of a standard barn. Then on fencing the farm and in provid ing a well and pump. The $2000 is to be added to the purchaso price of the farm, and all is to be repaid In ten annual in stallments, the unpaid balance bear ing six per cent Interest. It will be observed that in the ten years' repayment plan no provision Is made for the very possible con tingency of a crop failure at any time, which would prohibit the pay ment of that year's instaJljQpt. But the American farmer who is seduced by the prospect of ownership of his own farm into this venture would be surely what the old Romans called "bound to the land." Comparing conditions it might be said, "Better a renter in America than an Alberta mortgagor." A WONDERFUL FEAT aid. "There are the rhurchee. In the most of which there la a great aoclety of young men, and a auperabundancn of young litdlc.' It aeema almost melancholy that ao many nice girls really hava a 1 moat no chance to make the acquaintance of aultable you rig men. Setting; matrimojiy entirely out of conalderatlon a pleasant aoclal time languishes from the lack of young men, yet thera are many more of these In our city than of girls. No doubt the churches make -aoclal centers for those who at tend them. From a variety of causes the, young men are not thera In greut numbers. No jubt the men's clubs are helping along this line, but there Is a great need. In order to supply In nocent social Intercourse, of municipal centers where pleasant social hours can be spent under proper supervision, where lecture and concerts can be at tended, and municipal affalra discussed, where all classes can mingle and a common interest be developed; where class distinction can be laid aside, and the rear thlnga of Ufa brought to tho front. Many cities use the public School hoUse. which are built with the peoplc'a money and hence properly be long to them. These school houses are well equipped for social gatherings, lec tures, concerts, etc. Let them be oc cupled evenings and two days lu each week and during the vacations. Municipal lodging houses, where com fortable rooms at a moderate price with wholesome surroundings can be fur nished are a crying- need In our city. Coffee and lunch stands under the man agement of people who desire the high est welfare of the men and women who have no homes, are In great fjemand. All these human needs can be supplied at reasonable rates with clean, health ful, moral surroundings. If furnished, they will go a great way in saving multitudes from the saloons, gambling and vice. While the Y. M. C. A. and Y. V. C. A. do a noble work there is need for very much more provision than they can possibly furnish. Lot all the people who believe In the uplift, of human kind unite In some such far reaching scheme for social betterment. In addition to legislation let thla social work be undertaken, and the moral regeneration of society will advance as it never has in the past. S. L. SEVEN FAMOUS HORSES Richard IPs Itoan IUrbarr.

To the Editor of The Journal "Monopolies pay their taxes out of their profits and, not Out of the consumer," declares land speculator A. L. Veazie, in a recent Issue of the organ of plutocracy and tax dodgers for Oregon. lie goes on to defy the single taier to "bite on that file until he is toothless." It' happens that the "file" is one forged by the single taxersand Veazie himself la biting: on It when he flies at his man of straw that he calls the single tax. The graduated land tax measure, which Mr. Veazie has evidently not read, provides for a tax on water power, used or unused; . The water power Is monopolized in Oregon and is almost entirely gobbled. Not one per cent of It is used. Those who are using it in manufacturing enterprises and renting from any of tho tentacles of the water power octopus are paying all the traffic There Is mora authentic hlrtory at tached to King Richard II a Roan Bar- bary than could be told of the th horaea, aketcl.ea of which preceded this atory. This horse ha become famous In Hrltlah history. Tha king, w ara told in rather extravagant language, 'loved 'Roan narbary' aa an only aon." and certainly It la true that he waa ex ceptionally fond of thla particular horsa which poeta, dramatlata ana wrltera or romance at various pcrloda have all united In Immortalising. Richard's grief and raga at hearing that Hollngbroko had chosen Roan liar bary, of all horses, upon which to ride to Winchester when ha went thera to be crowned, has many tlmea bean de ac.rib.ed. Shakeapeare himself referred to the incident in "King Richard II" In tiin well kuown Una, "When Bollngbroke rode on 'Roan Barbary,' that horae that thou so often hast bestrld." Roan Barbary was a tall horse, well shaped and well achooled. but of uncer tain temper. The king "could ao witn the ateed whatever he wlahed," but some of the grooma naraiy aarea ap proach to groom him "lest he sideways kicked them." It is interesting to note hero that the history of early tlmea. when It touches upon horses -wnlch It does fre quently alludes npon many occasions to the partiality of particular horses for certain porsons. and to their equally marked dislike for certain other par sons. The inference naturally would be that these particular horses were partial to the men who treated them humanely and dlaliked those who llltreatcd them. If the early historians are to be be lieved, however, tha horsea' likes and dislikes for various peraona wero Irre spective of tha way they had been treated by such peraons. Particularly doea this appear to have been the case with -Roan Barbary. for we are assured that all who had charge of him, or to do with him In any way, treated him Invariably "with kindness and great conliniity," lha kl.ig having Issued strict ordara that they ahould In tha Uritlah Muaeum lhara may ba seen today a Ktench metrical history of tha deposition of Richard II, which in forma us that the king owned "many a good horse of foreign breed." Thla would Indicate that while ha may hpv been particularly partial to his Harbury roan, that horae was compelled to share affection with others. J. P. Ilore, the well known authority, la of tho opinion that "tha thoroughbred Engllah horae was characteristic of the nation" In tha reign of Richard II. and adda that "horses were then recognised and their praises sung. King Richard a fondness for Roan Barbary no doubt prompted him to give tha horsa unusual attention. It was through his suggestion that greacr at tentlon waa paid to the breeding than rearing of horsea for war than for hunt lng and for "speed competition." or any other purpose.

To, the Editor of The Journal What is tha matter with our beautiful Oregon state and cli mate that 'we have no singing birds? Forty-six years ago Jt wns then the same the state wasieeming with wild game birds, but thre were no singing birds. There were robins, and larks. some, canaries, hedge sparrows, black birds, a few others, but with no sweet voices to make our glorious springtimes echo with their melody. The climate of Great Britain Is like our Oregon's. Wee have tha same flora. The seasons there are resonant with the musio of birds goldfinches, brown- and green linnets, nightingales, bullfinches, blackbirds, starlings and skylarks, all with auch melodious throats that to listen Is to be lifted almost to the gates of heaven. But here in Oregon the birds sing very little. Perhaps along some creek ona may hear what is called the mocking mra sometimes. Why ia it there are no singing birds? There are songster oack ,in in eastern states. Is it be cause of tbe chain of anow. capped mountains that cuts us off from the rest of tne continent 7 It is a dreary mess here with no bird melodies in th morning, during the day or at night, to ba heard.
