Look for a moment at the world's

How long Is it since maternity ben

did all but universal insurance of
the poor against death, sickness, ac

a great government Instituted, and
headed by a woman, for the care of
children? When did labor. In a
modern nation, establish Its right
to a government department for its
oversight, with a man from the
ranks of labor at its head? How
long Is it since Juvenile courts were
Invented, with specially trained
judges to turn, if possible, the feet
of wayward youngsters from the

The appearance In Portland Jhls
week of the Chicago Grand Opera
company Is an event of much more
than passing interest and import
ance. , Going to the opera Is, abroad,
a phase of cosmopolitan education.
What is a well grounded habit In
Europe, still remains with us a nor
elty. There are many real musi
cians in Portland, there are many
more music lovers and above all
there are thousands of music needy
of those to whom grand opera Is
not only a novelty but an absolute
unknown quantity.
Andreas Dippel, the manager of
this great aggregation of songbirds,
has put Portland on the opera map,
but he cannnot keep It thre except
through the generous support of the
people of this section of Oregon. .

away on the wings of mutual ad

An act of the English parliament is
the supreme law of the land. No court
In England has ever attempted to veto
an act of parliament because it was un
constitutional or because the court
thought the act was not best and should
be amended. The king has a veto nowe
which he has not exercised in more than
hundred years. England Is settlna
along measurably well In her course of
allowing the acts of parliament to be
the supreme law of land. The truth Is,
England today is much more truly dem
ocratic than Is the United States.
It may be said that England has no
written, constitution; and hence tne
courts could not say whether the act of
parliament conformed . to the constitu
tion. It Is true England has no Written
constitution, but she has a common law
constitution which is as clear and exact
as our written constitution." . ... ....

What will be said of Schelllng, the

For a vast number ot reasons, Schel

were served. Then th pipe-clayed and
liveried servants were dismissed to the
