He was called a crank. But he was a crank who was worth millions to the world; worth values above price to humanity. f r ; . , Now for the Oregon prison: The sisal for the binder, twine ,it Stillwater comes from Yucatan, Mexico. The manila hemp I for the coarser twines and rope comes from the j Philippines, j During the war, the freight rates were so high that losses were made, which had ; to be absorbed but a $4,000,000 surplus, land some temporary borrowings, ings soon wipea out ine losses..

But, so surely as there shall persist the program, to bring the industry up to the point of spinning twines, that surely will the prison become self supporting; and more 50; making more profits per man working than does or can the Stillwater prison manufacturing binder twine and other twines from im ported raw materials. f , - i ,''. ' i TWIXT THE DKVn ; AXD THE .": DEEP SEA J ; The late Senator John J". Ingalls 1 once described a particularly try- ; ing political situation in which he f found himself as beinr "twixt the I deyil and the deep aea.". That de- t scribes the present political sltu- atlon In Oregon ".when the refer- 1 enduro has been called on the In- come tax law enacted by the last egislature. i:i . -" ..- t- : ; The Oregon Statesman is : a steadfast adherent of the principle of an income tax. It would take delight in ' supporting a real law . for the state of "Oregon. Such a bill was introduced in the legis lature but was so emasculated by that body as to be almost unrecog- nlxable-. -There . ean be no doubt . of the desire of the people for an I income tax law and the" legisla ture can be 'fairly charged with ""--'-T tv,? weak subterfuge in J.

The operations of taxpayers, since about 1905. , ! I ; 1 tooK care.oi mis. ine earn- enough. : It is much better than , : hopes it would work so badly as to be -short lived. ; , On the other hand, the Oregon Statesman hesitates to oppose the law because it may be an entering wedge, for a measure that will be fair and. Just. It may, be possible that around this nucleus subse quent legislatures can enactf air and complete income laws. V. ; This is not the levying of a new taxT This la an attempt made to hare : a more Judicious distrl bution, and yet there la danger of this degenerating! simply into another effort to add burdens to the already heavily taxed people of this state. If it js possible' to whip this law Into shape so as to be workable, the people can af ford to adopt it. , Oa the other hand If it mussesup the situa tion, disgusts the people, and di credits, income tax legisaltion,' i: had better be defeated sow. Another consideration I is that if we accept this measure now, subsequent legislatures may ac cept it as being all the people desire and certainly It will stand for a number of years as all they can get. Its rejection at this time will leave the people free to give the next legislature amandate for a law with teeth in it. Any way you take it. it's a dif ficult and disheartening situation. We do not want to oppose the law for fear, of hurting the principle, and we hesitate to support the measure now proposed for fearits very Inadequacy will make it last a life time. Because of the Oregon States man's adherence to the principles of the bill, it regrets more than it can say the dilemma in which it finds' itself. It "wants to help the income tax, but it cannot make up its mind that It Is really helping it by assisting In putting over this frail, crippled child. The voters of Oregon must make up their minds to take this bill or wait for another legislature with a mandate "so emphatic that no member will dare trifle with tha public desires. It is a question that the voters must decide in dividually, and not one for a newspaper to undertake to make any specific recommendations or direction in voting. a vom.r hope A distinguished scholar has just declared that well bred people are the hope of the world. We trust this pronouncement will be read carefully, because there is more in it than appears at first flush. Sometime the rough edges will be worn off humanity and the finer sensibilities will be display ed. . : We hear a good deal about dia monds in the rough. There are such things, of course. We all know them. We all have seen them, but these diamonds in the rough are at a disadvantage al ways.' You have to know them to appreciate them. The well bred man goes about his way unostentatiously but ef fectively. He never roils you, but he puts people at ease and there is great; comfort in being with; such a man. This does not mean high soci ety. High society is cultivated, of course, and refined. Hut it cer tainly has its limitations and some of its component parts' are any thing but admirable, i The well bred man is the man who is care ful of the feelings of others, who does his" work quietly, but , who is always oi the job making for sunshine and making for comfort. He is at home anywhere. The world has a good many of them now, but it needs a lot more. In every community the well bred man is outstanding. He is a lead er and his influence is felt as far as he is known. The well-brerl man does not ; make much noise. He doesn't have to have everybody watching everything he does. But he gets through just the same. He never uses slang, he has no foul words in his mouth, nor any strange oaths on his lips. He is a gentleman. ; - ITS BENEFITS - For many years The Oregon Statesman has published on Thurs day, what is called ' the slogan page; that isC the Thursday's issue is primarily! devoted to setting forth fairly - and candidly the strong points of Salem and Its claim to a place In the sun. These issues have attracted' widespread attention, as ' welt as done a lot of good for Salem and Oregon. A letter received yesterday fro one of the largest business men in Pocatello, Idaho, among other things, says: "I was very much interested in the slogan page of The Oregon Statesman which you sent me. I took it home to my wife and we agreed that we had never seen; anything like it and that It was worth ten thousand dollars a year to any city as an advertisement in selling the city to Itself and to the public. Sucn articles as you published are mighty good for the community. Our people here would give almost any price to have a slogan page in our home paper once a week, based on and patterned after yours. I wish we had the recipe. We are willing to pay for it, too." ENFORCEMENT OF LAW l Every time the question of law enforcement is approached the forces of destruction begin their war to scatter the enforcement forces and prevent unified action. First they say, it's a state matter; then they-say it's national; then they come back and say it belongs to each community. - . r i This is not-only spoken of the prohibitory, law bnt of every other law' where moneyed interests fig ure. . , i l ; As a matter of fact the enforce ment of law' starts with the presi dent of ' the United ' States and ends with ; .the j constable ", of the smallest township.- The responsi bility is shared alike ,by . all of them, and any one along the line who shirks ought to be summarily fired out of his office. - One of the most alarming ten dencies of the times la the disre gard of law. Officials are en couraged to wink at it, jind Indi vidual citizens have come to re gard law as being of small im portance between friends. a unique rnonrtrrioN The Oregon Statesman trusts that a larjre number of Salem peo ple will avail themselves of the opportunity to attend the play presented at the prison auditorium last night and which is to be re peated for three more nights. An Oregon Statesman! represen tative attended the dress rehears al and described it in the paper yesterday morning. Last night the production met the expecta tions of the most critical. It is a unique production and i one that should be encouraged. ' Anything that takes jthe mind of these men off their f sorrow is a good thing, and anything that teaches them the better things of life is to be encouraged. Tt Is more to be encouraged when they teach themselves: when they fin food for their own thought. . The play as presented is far above the average and j every per son attending will get his money's worth. THE OAKLAND PLAN : Oakland. California, Is having a row with Its street car company and Is trying to fight the devil with fire. It has established a lot of jitneys, cut the fare and is en couraging them to compete with the street car company. So far as the question can be judged from this distance, the general contention is that the city council wants the street car com pany to put two men on every car. ! It seems such a small question to be taken so far. The jitney is a louse on the transportation body and never can be made le gitimate. The Oakland council ought to use its authority to regu late the street cars instead of try ing to chase them out of business. NOT TO THE POINT When New Yorki newspapers had a strike they clubbed togeth er and issued one small edition. It is gleefully pointed out that the combined newspaper ' didn't con tain any editorials. This is. pointed to as being the publisher's opinion of the value of an edi torial page. It is 'not true. It simply meant that tie newspapers having their own characters didn't combine on an editorial page. To our mind this Indicates that the publishers considered the editorial page as, sacred. OC course, news papers with the vafiancy in policy of the New York papers could not combine on an editorial page. That page is sacred' to each paper. IT-&-1VEAKENING Word( comes that Teapot Dome Is proving a disappointment. This may be a political move and it may be true. The Teapot Dome ! is a very sore spot in this country. While acting entirely within his rights it shocked the American people to have a man in the cabi net grant this concession and then resign to take a position with the company.. It does, not necessarily follow that there was any connec tion but it disgusted' thousands of people ail over the country. It may be that this failure Is sought to pour oil on troubled waters. At any rate it is a nasty piece of business. J DID YOU EVER? The success that attended the YMCA drive is astonishing and no people are more surprised than the directors. There has been a heavy year's work done and. the people have shown their appreci ation to a market! degree. If there is anyone in Salem hostile to the YMCA they werej not found by the solicitors.

I sprang to my feet, letting the papers and let ters fall unheeded to the ground. Where ever did you drop from?" - It was the most banal of greet ings but it was the only one I could think of in the confusion of seeing her. and the certainty that without telling a deliberate lie. I could not say I was glad to see her. 1 My attitude toward Bess Dean always bad been one of distinctly mixed emotions. I admired her rather superficial brilliancy, en joyed sometimes the clever finish ing chatter which is her general manner of speech, and behind which I think she masks whatever real thoughts she may , have, for I have never seen her serious, while I disapprove the hardness, the cynicism, the petty unscrupu lousness which I believe her to possess. I think she has enough conscience and dool blood to keep her from being fiendishly evil as Grace Draper is, or cautiously wicked as is Rita Brbwn. "You Seem Surprised." j I The best thing about Bess Dean always has been her friendship for Alice Stockbridge. ;And the news which Alice had written that Miss Dean had not been j asked to come back to the Bay view school, because of her championship of Alice and Kenneth Stockbridge, softened my heart toward her, al though I instinctively felt that unpleasantness for me was apt to follow her presence in 4y vicin ity, r : I had not forgotten the distinct penchant she had shown for Dicky upon several occasions, notably my last meeting with her, when by "piggy go to Cork" tactics I bad thwarted her expressed wish to pose for one of Dicky's maga zine illustrations. That she had comprehended and resented my manoeuvre and its success with Dicky I knew from a little singl ing reminder that she "would not forget my efforts" to help her. But in her laughing face now there was nothing but: friendly good humor, save for the touch of malice which always appears to lurk in her, eyes. "You seem surprised, ma cherie," she said with a Gallic lit tle shrug. Although I happen to know from Alice Stockbridge that there is no French blood In Bess Dean's ancestry, yet I ' have ob served that she delights to use French words and phrases, not al ways correctly; and affects some times a foreign sprightliness of manner which I think; has been a master of -painful acnuirecnent. Her natural cynical malicious rail lery is much more attractive. Bess Manoeuvres. , . " "You really startled me," I re turned. "And yet, I was Just reading Alice's letter which said that you were at her wedding, and that I might see you. I see what she means now." "No, you don't unless Allie's a mind reader," she rejoined tartly, "and I never gave her credit for any particular powers in that di- rection. I didn't know myself that I was coming up tn this sec tion. But she read me a letter in which you rayed over the beauties of the region, and having been brought up on Washington Irv ing myself, and having an extra two weeks oh, youj private schools I'm for you! tl though! that I'd meander up this way and see what it looked like. You have n't established any monopoly on the region, have you?i "No, indeed," I rejoined, laugh ing at the piquant little moue with! which- she punctuated her ques tion. "Where are you staying?" "I'm not staying anywhere,'" she retorted. "I came . up last night, got off at this station be cause I thought I probably would have the opportunity to say 'Sur prise, Surprise!' and j find out something about farm resorts down here. No hotels for 'me! A picturesque farmhouse for mine. What's the matter with that para dise you've been touting to Allie? Or would I 'be too disturbing an element?". . . There was more than a tinge of malice in her voice and eyes now. They plainly said that if I did not arrange for her to stay at Mrs. Cosgrove's she would interpret my action as having jits root in apprehension; of her being thrown into Dicky's companionship. Of course, be'ng a woman and proud, I did exactly what she manoeuv red for me to do summoned my sunniest smile and most cordial tones. - j "Indeed, I think you'd be Just what we need!" I sardwith an en thusiasm that I flatter1 myself was plausible. "We've been dull as ditch water all summer. But I do not know whether Mrs. Cos grove has any possible place to stow yon away. Nevertheless, you most come- back with me to dinner- only noon dinners up here,-' you know -and then we'll find out about It." V "That will be delightful, she re turned. Then, as we walked to ward the postoffice, where I had left ' Junior and Marion,' she re marked as if a bit puzzled: "Funny old All!e should say I might tee you. I, never opened my head about It."j But, ' I, knowing Alice Stock bridge's keenness ! of ; perception, realized .that she had read her friend's determination! and had done her best to give me a subtle warning and prepare ;me for the visit. (To be continued), THE OTHER FELLOW'S 'TROUBLES ' r- B Y j Wicke.s Warnboldt. It has been rather sarcastically suggested that people are the most philosophical about the other fel low's troubles. But when we get into difficulties ourselves our philosophy is apt to forsake us like a fair-weather friend. For the sake of argument, let us assume that philosophy is en tirely for tlfe other fellow. Even then it has an indispensable place in the scheme of things, j A rope ia a good thing with which to pull a man put! of a pit, but usually when a man falls into a pit he does not have a rope with him and probably , he could not make use of it if he did. Gener ally someone else has to throw hiin a rope and pull him out. . Now, the worst you can say about constructive philosophy is that it is the rope for the man in the hole. ; It is very comforting when we are in difficulties to talk with someone who is philosophically inclined and who claps a hand on our shoulder and gives us hearty words of encouragement and op timism. You have been pulled out of the doldrums many a time by another's- philosophy, and so have I. : Now, whatever ; philosophizing we,, may do on our own account does unquestionably have a posi tive constructive effect j on us.

For a long time Vida had been looking forward ! to her party. Her mother had promised her she might have it in October. It was to be a egijlar big dinner party. Just like her mother had: "Oh, Mother, can't jyou make Timmy go to Grandmother's for the day?" Vida begged. "I just know he'll do something dreadful if he's here." . j "Why, Vida. do you think that's a nice way to talk about your lit tle brother?" Mrs. Scott reproved her daughter. "Timmy will be good.

The process may be so slow as to be discouraging un less we measure the results . by years instead of by days. For instance, - if you did not know anything about automobile tires and had the job of wearing one out, you would be discouraged after running the tire five -hundred miles. You Would examine it for signs of wear and tear and declare that nothing in the world would ever wear it out. But peo ple who own autOs can give a lot of testimony to the contrary. It is the keeping everlastingly at It that counts in philosophic think ing as well as anything else. However, if we apply philoso phy only to the other fellow',8 troubles, its value-is beyond esti mation anyhow.
