I N- the poBBlbilltles opened by the threatening conditions in the "near east may be - seen Persia's last hope. Both Austria and Rus sia are being stirred into action to stop the attack by the Balkan r.ates on Turkey by persuasion and lnflu- ence, i possible, but if not, then by !the advance into their territories of advance guards of their enormous -armies. But it is very doubtful if either , England or Germany would stand Idly by, and see Austria move south ' wards to Salonika, and Russia to- wards Constantinople and the Bos- -phoruft, One of Germany's pet projects Is the Bagdad railroad. Many English men, and some of them men of much "influence and experience in the east, L.0Uld.lat rather see the. Bagdad rail road finished and Germany given a ; free hand in the development of the great country that It will open, than to see that road obstructed by Brit ish7 machinations, and the Russian trans-Persian railroad built to the very gate or inaia. '"The" treatment of the ancient kingdom of Persia by Russia, and her unwilling accomplice.

ALBANY COLLEGE HE latest candidate for "public approval for rebuilding, en largement, and progress among the schools for higher educa tion in Oregon is Albany college. The college, in its present location, has an excellent reputation for ser vice during many years, But its op portunities have outgrown its ca pacity. The trustees had to elect be tween expending a large sum on re pairs and enlargement of existing buildings and equipment, and of un dertaking the great responsibility of acquiring a considerable tract of land, commensurate with the pros pective Albany college, and of pro viding in due time the cost of the new structures. They have taken the bold course, regardless of the labor and energy it will involve. They announce that every effort will be made to have a recitation hall and "two dormitories ready for use during the year 1913, at a cost ranging between $125,000 and $140,000. A very attractive sketch of the new campus and of the Intended college structures accompanies the trustees' announcement. They have done very wisely to determine on their requirements, and on the Btyle of architecture that commends itself to them, at, this earl day. The amount of money involved Is estimated at $500,000. Thus, another proof is offered that the day of the email college has not passed. No exception must be taken to the adjective "small." 1 Many parents prefer for their boys and girls the-smaller classes and more individual attention that are features of the smaller Institu tion. And they lay stress also on the atmosphere that surrounds such colleges, which, without sectarianism and excluslveness, yet admit the re ligious Influence as a means of up building the Christian character within college walls. The fact that so strong an appeal is made, and is responded to, by the members of some special branch of the Christian church to provide funds to establish and endow such institutions Indicates desire that the tenets of that portion of the church shall survive, and shall be explained and perpetuated in such college as may be In question. For both the state and the private college there is yet ample room. OBSTRUCTING THE TRACK A YEAR ago this month the Chi nese revolution broke out. Against unheard of odds Dr. Sun Yat Sen and his associates made their ground good. The new Republic inherited the treaty obligations and the debts of its predecessor, and these the new government assumed" without pro test. Its principal creditors of the outside world were the six nations, Britain, Russia, France, Germany, Japan and the United States. Of these Russia and Japan are lnter- ested in holding China down until they cinch their respective holds on i the two enormous Chinese prov inces of Mongolia and Manchuria, The United States had already manifested the sincerity of her friendship for the Chinese nation by her generosity in foregoing payment of her share of the Boxer indemnity Hoi- nttitnrtn tn "thn wr T l 1 1 or itAnnl.ll.. ,L v. , , undisclosed reasons, has delayed rec- !

EFFICIENCY A PARADOX UNDER the system ot "scientific management" "formulated by Mr." F. W. Taylor, In his pur- . . . - jl .1.. CL 2 suit oe industrial euiciency, iiib results of its application are said to be greater production with no great er human effort, or the Bame produc tion with less effort. , By applying to bricklaying Im proved methods of supplying bricks and mortar ready to the hand of the workman, and simplifying and east ing the effort. he has to put forth it Is said that the present normal re sult of 120 bricks per man per hour, set In place, Is Increased to 850 bricks per hour. In handling pig Iron for "the supply of iron works a tonnage of 12 tons per man per day was,. Increased to 47 tons. In shoveling dirt and sand the quanti ty of 16 tons per day by one man on the particular ground tested was raised to 69. The principle of scientifically studying the methods used today in cotton manufacture, and saving time wherever possible, having been ap plied in certain mills the output, it is stated, was practically doubled. Similar experiments in other indus tries brought similar results. It Is urged by the advocates of these new methods that Increased production does not involve undue exertion on the part of the worker. Increased wages rewarding to some extent the Increased output were wil lingly paid by the employers. Thus, the shoveller's wages rose from $1.15 to $1.88 per day, while the cost of production fell from 72 cents to 33 cents per ton. But, although the rate of wages per man is increased the number of men required for a certain ptece of work is greatly re duced, and the total sum paid week ly in wages falls. It Is not surprising that organized labor is bitterly opposed to the new system, and It seems inevitable that attempts to Introduce it generally will arouBe determined antagonism, both In America and in England. The reason is obvious. A general displacement of workers would fol low. Different employment would have to be found for very many workers unless a generally increased .1 h f -l 4. , uoiuauu iwi yiyuuyui ui aiuiuot every sphere of Industry could be provided. Of this there seems to be no prospect. The aim of economic production is to attain the greatest results'1 with the least possible expenditure of en ergy, in this tne new metnoas suc- eedIlut-.iJ&.. The chief object of production is the well being of all the members of so ciety, not of the few. But the new science of efficiency would certainly help and strengthen the few, but how about the many? A solution of this paradox is very widely sought. To many of such students the most hopeful outlook is in the wider distribution of the land, and the establishment thereon of a vast number of those who are ex pending their lives for wage returns which barely suffice to keep the wolf of hunger from the door. PEACE OB WAR THE cables tell today of the scales balancing between peace and war In tho near east. A condition Is disclosed which has been several times paral leled rn the past with some exactness. Oyer Macedonia and .Albania . the Turks rule with the same ferocity as a hundred years and more 4go. The Turkish officials treat the Christian majority in these regions as "dogs" according to the ancient Moslem fashion. The reforms that followed the deposition of Abdul Hamid do not run there. Outbreaks of the mistreated Christians have been fre quent, but repressed in the end with cruelty and accompanied by the de vastation of the districts where out breaks oceurred. These Christians are of Bulgar, Servian and Greek stock, and their sufferings have called loudly for relief to Bulgaria, Servla and Greece. The appeal being heard, strong representations to the Turkish gov ernment have followed. The reme dies called for have been the exten sion of autonomy to Macedonia and local reforms in Albania. These the Turks have refused and the agitation for war followed. The great powers of Europe are fully alive to the possibilities of con flagration that would follow, In all likelihood the first explosion of war. France has taken the lead in pro posing terms of settlement, and sug gesting to her associates that they be. jjpfoltsi. 0OheUttB'JJUngXurk The Turks respond by promises of better government, but Insist on maintenance of the Sultan's sover eignty over these misgoverned prov inces.

Says Not Caused by Single Tax, Portland, Or., Oct 4.TO the Edltoi of Tbe JfournL In Thursday's Usu of Ths Journal, J'atlxen"Uks y-0.ur-l ter of a column to try to answer some of my facts as stated In a communica tion last Sunday, "Cltlaen" is undoubt edly a wis statesman, and thinks he Is well qualified to advise others bow to vote, but sincle tax has not caused the rapid settlement that Is taking place In the prdvlncesto the north of us. The causa Is the clieap prairie lands In a , new country being reached by new railroads, and th extremely favorable laws and regulations made by the gov ernment and the easy terms made by, the land grant railroads for the ac quirement of these fine, rich, virgin prairie lands. Thousands of elderly men, who have heretofore taken home steads, preemptions and timber claims in the United States, have sold them for good prlees and, having used their land rights here, migrate to a new field, where they can again acquire land un der the land laws. The Canadian Pa clflo Railway offers, In addition to ex tremely low prices and easy terms on Us lands, "to workers of farms in the United States having- sufficient agrl cultural experience and equipment, to loan money for ten years at 6 per cent for the purpose of erecting buildings and completing- the Improvements on their newly purchased western Cana dian farms." Who Is making any such favorable offer as that In the United States? To thOBe rich lands, coupled with the extremely easy terms and the eay work of putting into cultivation those prairies, Is solely and entirely due the rapid settlement of the north ern provinces, and single tax has noth ing to do with It. These same men who are now taking lands In the north will, as soon as they can sell for "all the traffic will bear," return to the milder climate of th United States, lust as Mr. Counts did. The total assessment of property at Prince Rupert. B. C. (population esti mated at 6000). is, for 1912, $21,686,685, land alone being 119,618,756, leaving $2,067,830 made up by assessment of other property. So they do not have single tax there. To my mind the single tax and the graduated tax measures ought -to be beaten out of sight, for they create a privileged class of all owners of per sonal property of every nature, who will enjoy all the benefits of government and not contribute a single cent to Its support. The straw vote recently taken by me in Hood River county fairly shows what the farmers and fruitralsers think about It, as they voted three to on against it, and two to one in favor of women suffrage. Don't worry, "Mr. Cltlaen." they ar Intelligent, well edu cated people, and fully understand the Iniquity of these proposed laws. They will watch these snakes when election day rolls aroundr- GEO. W.

To the Editor of ThA -T n l r n n T n hAa- . u - V nutu una g0 soon rorgets the favors of the past, permit me to recall a Uttle history. A little over 20 years ago the legislature of this state created an additional of fice of circuit Judge In Multnomah county. The laboring people of Mult nomah county felt that they, as well as the corporations, should have a friend on the bench. Accordingly the Knights of Labor, through their several assem- ated Trades assembly, which organlza tion was composed of delegates from the several labor unions then In Port land. The candidate agreed upon as sat isfactory to the. Federated Trades as sembly was the jams aa ,thejnre-4 celvlng (5 per oent of the votes of the Knights of Labor In Portland. Sylves ter Pennoyer was then governor. A committee of three was selected from the two bodies to wait upon the gov ernor and express to htm labor's choice for circuit Judge. The members of the committee were Martin Ready, president of the Ironmoulders' union, and delegate to the Federated Trades assembly; Al bert Tozier, presiding officer of Mount Hood Assembly Knights of Labor, and also a delegate from Multnomah Typo graphical union to the Federated Trades assembly, and secretary of the latter organization, and John J. Kelly, presi dent of one of the assemblies of Knights of Labor. The committee waited upon Governor Pennoyer and presented the following. 'To Governor Sylvester Pennoyer: The Federated Trades assembly and the assemblies of the Knights of Labor In the city of Portland in their regular conventions assembled, have recommend ed for your consideration for the posi tion of circuit Judge of Multnomah county one who has been our friend and we believe he will prove true to the trust Imposed should you give him the appointment. You, governor, have ever proven true to labor's cause, and labor asks that you name Honorable M. G. Munly. Do this, and but this, and we will shoulder the blame for any mis takes he may make." Governor Pennoyer recognized labor's request, and the records of the supreme court will show that Judge Munly had fewer reversals than any of his prede cessors. , ALBERT TOZIER. Socialism and Vested Rights. Portland,"3 Oct. 6. To the Editor of The Journal A Prohibitionist states In The Journal that his platform declares for the "absolute protection of the right f labor without Impairment of the rights of capital." This wrlter.';who apparently was a Union soldier in the Civil war, was no doubt In favor of the rights of the slave! "without Impairment of the, rights" of the slaveowner. The Interests of wage worker and capitalist are as divergent as those of master and slave. Neither the Prohibitionists nor anyone else can free an exploited class without depriv ing the exploiters of their privileges. Under slavery, man was directly ex ploited through absolute ownership by a master; under feudalism, he was. less directly exploited through the feudal fiords' ownership of the land; and today he U exploited ny me capitalists- own ership of the industrial machinery. ,jU a tsulUtha..workmen reoelve wages barely sufficient ror a living; women and children are forced Into in dustry to eke xut the father's wages, the home being neglected or broken up Iln consequence; the unemployed and in efficient become tramps and prostitutes. fA. . ..nMnlli, ivatam fa run n. t V .

Dispatches related that while giving his testimony Mr. Morgan several times laughed heartily, which shows that the financial colossus Is quite human, after all. But why shouldn't he feel Jolly, when the world has so long been his oyster? e But probably It Is quite natural for Mr. Morgan to think that a big national bond Issue for him to finance -at mil lions of profit, or a panlo by which he can gobble up a big steel competitor, is "good for the government and the peo ple." ' e e The Pittsburg superintendent of schools who hits barred widows as teachers gives a reason that will scarce ly be considered sufficient by most peo ple that widows are too desirous of sympathy, and therefore ' troublesome. Many widows are doubtless among the best of teachers. SEVEN FAMOUS BIBLES Douay The original Douay Version of the Bible, which Is the foundation on which nearly all English Catholic versions are still based, owed its existence to the religious controversies of the sixteenth century. Many Protestant versions of the Scriptures had been Issued and were used largely by the reformers for po lemical purposes. The rendering of some of the texts showed evident signs of controversial bias, and It becarn of the first importance for the English Catholics of the day to be furnished with a translation of their own, on the accuracy of which they could depend and to which they could appeal In the course of argument. The work of preparing such a ver sion was undertaken by the members of the English college at Douay, In Fltftiders, founded by William Allen (afterwards cardinal) in 1568. Th chief share of the translating was borne by Dr. Gregory Martin, formerly of Bt. John's college, Oxford. His text was revised by Thomas Worthington, Richard Bristowe, John Reynolds and Allen himself all of them Oxford men. A series of notes was ndded, designed to answer the theological arguments of the reformers. These were prepared by Allen, assisted by Bristowe and Worth ington. The object of the work was, of course, not limited to controversial purposes. In the case of the New Testament, es pecially, it was meant for pious use among Catholics. The fact, however, thatthe primary end" was controversial explains the course adopted by the translators. In the first place they translated directly, not from the original Hebrew or Greek, but from the Latin Vulgate of Bt. Jerome. This had been declared authoritative for Catholics by the Council of Trent; but it was also commonly admitted that the text- was purer than In any manuscripts at that 1 !L.iltalli--i!L-JJl92E many technical words were retained bodily. In the year 1578, owing to political troubles, the college was temporarily transferred from Douay (which watt then in the dominions of the. king of Spain),- to.Rhalma,-ttd 4urlng its so- Journ there, in 1582 the new testament was published and became consequently known as the "Rhelins Testament." It contained no episcopal Imprimatur, but a recommendation was appended signed slons to the workers decrease profits. Socialists demand the abolition of the profit system, denying the right of one man to take profit from the labor of another. It is legal, but so once was chattel slavery. It Is wrong and un just, and will be abolished as was slavery. The Prohibitionists and the other old parties stand for this exploitation of the wage system, but soma among them would remove many of the most barbar ous features, such as child labor, ex cessive hours of work, starvation wages, alcoholism, etc.; and this, declares our Prohibitionist, would be a "higher clv lllxatlon than any other political party -c an eVenudr earn- of', ,. On the contrary, It is no nearer the Socialists' Ideal than 9. movement for the humane and considerate treatment of the slave would have compared with the abolitionists' demand for absolute freedom. Mr. Prohibitionist, the Socialists do not dream of, but demand a civilization where all the able bodied will receive the full value of their labor; where use ful work and that only will give any person the benefits of civilization; where the weak, aged or crippled will receive care as their rlghti and not as charity; where all children shall be properly cared for and educated; where no man physically fit to marry need be financially unable trov do so; where not one single woman will nave , need to sell- her body for bread; where no woman or child will be punlshed by pov erty and hardship as a result of wrong doing by husband or father; where no man will be allowed to profit by Induc ing other men to Indulge In harmful habits such as the use of alcohol, to bacco 'and opium; where no deserving person shall lack food, clothing, shelter and comfort In a world of plenty. " They do not expect to accomplish this without "Impairing the rights" of those who are fattening on the evils of the present system. The -profit takers, grafters, pimps and idlers would have to depend on useful work or starve. , V. M.

Bible. by four divines of the University of Khetms. The old testament was delayed by want of means, until tho whole Bible was eventually published in two quarto volumes, in 1609 and 1610, by which time the college and returned to Douay, and the recommendation was signed by three doctors of the ..university. Thus the New Testament appeared nearly 80 years before the Anglican "Authorized Version," and although not officially mentioned as one of the versions to be consulted. It Is now commonly recog nized to have had a large influence on ths King Janwjs version. The Rhelms Testament was reprinted twlca at Antwerp In 1600 and 1621 and a fourth edition was issued at Kouen in 163S. Then it was ajlowed to rest for over a century before a ftfth edition appeared, with some slight changes, dated 1728, but without any place of publication stated. It is be lieved to have been printed In London and was edited by Dr. Challoner (after wards bishop), and Father Blyth, a Car melite. The Douay Bible was never after this printed abroad. A sixth edi tion of Rhelms Testament was print ed at Liverpool In 1788, and a seventh dfed Dublin, 1803, which was the last Catholic edition. Several Protestant editions have appeared, the best known being a curious work by Rev. William Fulke, first published in 1589, with the Rhelms text and that of the Bishops' Bible In parallel columns. A Protestant edition of the Rhelms Testament was also brought out by Leavltt, of New York, in 1834. Although the Bibles In use at the present day by the Catholics of Eng land and Ireland are popularly styled th0 Douay Version, they are most Im properly so called. They are founded, with more or less alteration, on a series of revisions undertaken by Bishop Chal loner in 1749-52.
