WHEN OVER HIGH N NEW YORK, there is sugges tion of I limiting the height of buildings to the width of streets that serve them. ,, High buildings bring ' congested populaUon i and aU the attendant evils of insufficient capacity In , streets, sewers and water mains, of street traffic with insoluble problems, of increased danger of fire and panic, and of natural light shut off from thousands "of work ers. In Nassau street, New York, already the sidewalks have a ca pacity for but one third of the daytime population. ' . Few very high buildings pay a profitable return on the invest ment, and j rear estate men favor limitations lof height. Already, 43 office buildings there "are above 20 j York. There is nothing he could stories and 111 hotels above 16. J say .that would make him more ri In London the height is limited ' diculous in the eyes of New York- to 80 feet,, and in Paris to 65.6 to the cornice. That there should be regulation against inordinate al titudes is a truth over which there is no room I for dispute! The congestion makes excessive grouri.3 rents, shuts the light out of the streets and lower floors and creates conditions unfavorable to wholesome and healthy human life. I Why rear the great buildings to such elevation when there is so much room! in the great outdoors? THE DEMONSTRATION TRAIN I NCREASING crowds and multi plying interest attend the hog and dairy special on its way through western Oregon. Nothing lean be more effective in spreading the gospel of good farming. The train carries types of animals land experts in animal husbandry ifrom the agricultural college, whose addresses are sup plemented by the testimony of suc cessful farmers. One farmer with the party has accumulated a fortune at dairying in Yamhill jcounty since 1904. The interest aroused by the demonstration traiiK is almost ex traordinaryj It is proof that farm ers are thinking along the lines . : two weeks' journeying by the train. A renewal of attention to dairying and hogs is certain to be (.sequel to the trip.

As I can not find the paper, can. you give me any information in regard to it? NELS CARLSON. Lock Box 21, Glendale, Or. Heaven and Hell Behind Bars. From the San Francisco Bulletin. A recent description of the state prison at Great .Meadow, New York, raises some question as to how humane prison should be. Does not the argument against "coddling," of which so mucn nas .been heard in every state which has tried to humanize its pris ons, really mean that no prison must be more comiortable than the Ufa which any possible prisoner could have been leading . outside of prison? In other words, should not our prisons be made so horrible that no man, how ever hungry, cold, ill housed. Ill clothed and desperate.- could for a mo ment prefer a lot there to his momen tary situation outside? - Great Meadow Is a farm of 1100 acres, tilled by 600 convicts, who are most effectually restrained from es caping by their word of honor to Warden Homer. It is an honor -camn an a large and entirely successful scale. Warden Homer sends out his men to work on all parts of the farm, and they come home at night and at meal timej to the cell house. On oc casions he) sends them to other parts of the state. Gangs of prisoners have journeyed (for many miles by rail en tirely unguarded. Warden Homer's guards cairy no weapons whatever, not even canes. The cell buildings are absolutely) sanitary, with running wa ter ln every cell not as a. -luxury, but as an essential sanitary precaution. Anyone familiar with old style pris ons knows the horrors of contagion which this -simple provision at once eliminates.! - j Great Meadow is Intended to be the prison of those, who have proved them selves worthy of trust while confined in other Institutions. But last sum mr there were sent there. In an emer gency, the ringleaders of the convicts who rioted at Sing Sing. They were .brought in chains by guards carrying loaded rifles. Vow most of them are quietly at worK on the farm and could not be told from the good conduct men. Sing Sing Is also In New York state, but it is different. "There ain't the difference between heaven and hell,"' was the vigorous expression or one prisoner who . is quoted in the. Outlook, "that there , ia between Sing Sing and this, place." That there was some foundation for his Impressions seems 5 to be estab lished by 'the fact that one man in every 95 confined in Sing Sing prison last year was driven raad. r -v California is moving; away from the Sing Sing ideal and toward tbe Great a. miv PERTINENT COMMENT S3IALL.

N There was much "heresy" when peo ple now old were young, but there is almost none bow. If most women don't care to vote, why should men care whether or not they have the right to vote?.

Major McKinstry knows better what is needed and deserved than his supe rior officers, who have never Been the Oregon country and its great river. Any proposition to benefit the negro at once arouses' violent protest on the part of Senator Vardaman, who views the "nigger" as somewhat below the brutes. In the matter of state politics the Portland morning newspaper never runs out of bugbears. Any official whom it doesn't like is always up to some dissembling, nefarious plot. In r letter given out for publication. President Wilson very highly praises Bryan, fairly "lauds him to the skies." Now perhaps some newspapers will cease to hint that Wilson is "sore" at Bryan. A 4.EADER From Harper's Weekly. The reception given to Woodrow Wilson's trust policy by the business world 1s one of . the most significant and interesting developments of re cent history. A business friend of ours was talking about public affairs the other day. He had voted for Mr. Taft and had been generally distrust ful of Mr. Wilson. "He makes a noise like a real man," he said. "I think he will stand among our presidents next to Washington and Lincoln." As the business world has made up its mind to follow him, ho has Con gress. When he first threw away precedent and read his own . message, he was received with a cold and hos tile silence. The second time he ap peared, there was scattered applause. Tlje third time he was received with enthusiasm. He had won. partly be cause his ideas were right and partly because he had shown the ability to gain victories. The public likes a winner, and the president who is able to ao tnmgs inspires tne same loyalty in representatives and senators and the rest of us that victorious generals or champion baseball players Inspire. Happily Sir. Wilson gives every proof of deserving the immense power that is now lodged ln his hands. He Is not only the real leader In Washington; he is tbe one essential leader. If he should be taken away tomorrow and succeeded by the well meaning vice president, progress ln legislation for the present would be at an end. It is a masterful gift to combine courtesy and a reassuring manner with firmness and a drastic program, as the president did in his' trust mes sage.

In the consular dis trict of Stavanger, according to the report of the American consul ln charge. 68 per cent of the population have accounts in savings banks. In the city of Stavanger a move ment has been started to Induce every I school child to open a savings ac count and keep a savings bank book. You see, they believe in thrift over there, and why? Well, for many generations th place of practically every citizen In the country, economically, has been fixed. Over there, the wage worker of today does not expect to be the em ployer of tomorrow. He knows tha: if he is to live comfortably and give his children a chance to get the train ing' and schooling they ought to havo he must practice thrift he must save. Norway's civilization is real. It Is based on an exceptionally intelligent use of the country's resources. Edu cation Is fostered, and the leaders know the value of intensive use of land, the breeding up of dairy Stock, the economic use of labor. It is a Meadow ideal. So is nearly every other state in the Union. And all that can be urged against the movement is that the time is certain to come when it will no longer be possible, as now, to find within prisons a frightful coun terpart of every evil to be found out side. "Job" to B Staged. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Th "Book of Job" will be staged by the University of Wisconsin Dramatic society this season. This will be prob ably the first time "Job" ever has been given on the modern stage. That it was presented by the ancient Hebrews Is the contention of H. M. Kallen, in structor in philosophy at the univer sity. Mr. Kallen said he had not dram atized the work, but simply restored it to the fotra in which it was originally written for the ancient Hebrews. This differs from the views of most of the big men in literature today. To them Job" Is an epic. They assert,that in their whole literature the Jews have not a single drama. To this Mr. Kallen takes exception-. He admits "the Book of Job' may be the only' drama in the language, but says years of study have convinced hlrh that it is one. In its original, he says, "the Book of Job!' resembles the old Greek dramas. It also has all the Characteristics of a drama written by a Hebrew writer in the Greek lan guage... ' . The Modern Church Spirit. ' - From the Oakland Tribune. ... Church architecture of the olden type has been appropriately referred to as "frozen music.' This term was applied also to the magnificant temples,, glorious without .as well as within, used for secular purposes only. After the Renaissance there was much altering of this, magnificence, -and in modern times there is little or no at tempt to express the religious spirit in church architecture. More and more is evidenced the desire to serve God through human uplift. ' Religion has been fittingly defined aV the bond which binds the soul of man to God. . Timothy called the church the pillar and ground of .the tiutlu It is, so to speak, witness -of a visible fellowship.
