Cleanse this spring of all our being and keep It clean, then life shall flow from us to others. ( A 1 J ' The Methodist general confer ence is to be commended for .its efforts at, economy. The consoli dation of boards, the reveiw of the rules of the publishing business, and the general retrenchment pro pram is one that commends itself the membership everywhere. The churches must come to the same business basis as the banks and wholesale houses. The money must be raised and spent economi cally. The overhead expenses of the Methodist church have been too high and we. naturally believe that the same Is true of every oth er church. There are so many calls for money, so many demands for service, and every ' church here must practice rigid economy. We, are glad to see the Methodists lead off in this. r . OREGON ON RIGHT TRACK i Julia K. Jaffray of New York, executive secretary of the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor,, accompanied by fifteen leading women BoeiaL workers of Portland, made an investigation of the Oregon state' penitentiary yesterday - t ij With special reference to, the industries there, and pro posed to be developed, ; : 4 ; ? U V . -i Miss Jaffray spends her whole time in the work of helping the prisons of the United States towards better methods of employing their labor. Her whole party had an hour's session; beginning at 5 o'clock last evening, with Governor Pierce and sOme of the prison officials and others, at the j Governor's office. I . Prison labor methods throughout the country were dis missed '.' ; And the conclusion of the whole matter was the gratifying announcement of Miss Jaffray that Oregon is on the right track ; : ' - ' ' - ' ',: -. - ' . i Us That -wonderful things have been done in rebuilding the shops at the Oregon prison, since their destruction; by fire last gammer; and that thetthingt the Oregon institution is to keep on keeping on in the way it is going. -1 - j ; - 4 Miss Jaffray said that the great problem in many of the prisons of the country is to keep the prisoners at 'work in irii dustries in which they may learn trades and not interfere with free labor and the conclusion generally is that? the best em ployment is in manufacturing articles that may be used in the various state institutions--- ; ' --i ::" ' But here in the Oregbri prison the flax industry, developed tip to the point of spinning Yarns and making; sack and seine twines, will not interfere with free labor. , As that will employ all the. available labor for an indefinite time, that is the big thing to be developed. s " f Miss Jaffray said that the ideals towards which all prisons ought to work, and towards which all progressive prisons are -working, are these: -:: .'! " ; "v '.V':. :' To keep all prisoners employed. ! f- ' To keep them employed at work that is not competitive' with free labor. . ' '-:.-"-. : I ; ."To keep them employed at work that is profitable; profit able to the state and yielding profits sufficient to make the inf Utitut ions self-supporting and to -leave enough over, to pay a Svapre to every worker to the end that he may contribute to the 'support of his innocent dependents on the outside; to keep the families of prisoners together, making for the largest possible invaber of reformations.' - : i ' . That is the Oregon ideal. 7- That can be done in, Oregon. It ,M done in Minnesota. It is done in Louisiana, and in Missouri, .and is being approached in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana -and other states. Though income of them the conditions are far. from ideal as compared with "the Minnesota system; as for instance in Alabama, under the contract system, the prisoners, under slave driving conditions, are. made to support themselves and the institution, and the state university besides. ' It is a fine thing to compare "notes. It is k fine thing for the people iif Oregon to know that they are on tie right track j That they are developing the right system, according to approved methods, and at the same time laying a foundation for the greatest industry in Oregon, the linen' industryi Vhich 'will when developed furnish on the outside employment in the lines learned in the prison, which latter is also; important n developing a model prison system. . . " i " Miss Jaffray said that Minnesota, which has built up at Stillwater the model of self supporting prisons for men, has also developed the only self supporting prison -or reformatory for adults) for women; about GO of them, working oh articles jfor use in the various state institutions. We have no need to worry in this respect he f in Oregon for the present, 'for we have no female prisoners; though we board nine federal. female prisoners, because the United States has so far no federal pris on for women. "".'..". '--";V- -i ' No, there will not be a war with LTapan. America was clearly with in Its rights in passing the Japan ese exclusion bill. In this part of the country we have little appreci ation of the: sentiment against the Japanese. Here, they are hard working, law-abiding men and women, but in California-they are working so hard, so economically, that f ear is expressed that they will take the state. . Possibly we would feel just as they do If we had the same situation. ' The Japanese exclusion act is no different than the Japanese Amer ican exclusion,' act. No American can own a foot of land In . Japan. This, law places both, countries on an exactly equal footing-. - A JXVXGEROUS TIME -The weather is dry for this time of year, and that Is dangerous. Forest fires are ' mighty easily started now, and our rangers are few and far between. Millions of dollars are lost quickly in forest fires and it is a waste Oregon, and the nation cannot afford. We are going to need every foot of lumber we have and we are not taking proper steps for re-forestation. It la a fact that the carelessness of campers and of smokers is re sponsible for most of our forest fires. A lighted match or a half- smoked cigarette have beea known to do a lot of damage. ; P ? ; THE NEW TAX BILI l ernmcnt expenses, but it Is the . ? : . I best that can be. done with the It Is true that all legislation Is ! congress such as the country is : largely' compromise; however, the compromise in the present tax bill 3 was somewhat different from the j usual compromise. The senate de I sired to pass a revenue measure, but the man in the. White House was determined to have that meas ure'', revised.,; The compromise, such as it was, was a .compromise between various interests of the senate that could get past the pres ident, and still not give him what : he waited. The hill ia probably a r fairly good one. although it is ill ,: devised and thrown together hap hazard. , It should - have been passed - three months, ago , and . .would have been had not the sen - ate been under,; the thumb of the i vicious minority operating as a majority. , " ; - ' ,Th senate wag afraid to go home without a revenue bill and afraid j to vote for what the president wanted, lie is up for election the same as the rest of them, and if he i willing to rbk his chances they ought to be also. " .1 But the senate js engaged in a same of taking care of themselves and letting the devil take the hind- most. - It Is not a good way. to make a revenue bill or frame gov- now putting up with. THE USUAL ACTION Before every presidential elec tion there is a righteous appeal against any special interests get ting control of the party organ! za-tion and binding the candidates. Every four years there' is a de mand for a. law regulating fin ances, contributions, and providing for. publicity. Of course we must have laws like this, but we have never known any one to be: en acted that interfered with the col 1 ... lection of the necessary money for running the campaigns. '.; 1 It is doubtlessly true that a po Iitical campaign costs about, ten times as much as it ought to cost The time is coming when a cani paign will -be run as rigidly as bank. When that time comes there- will be no question about the con tributions, and there will be ques tion, however, as long as men are supposed to contribute according to the benefits, and special privil ege has capitalized this. In all our campaigns we have stressed the .money end. and it is unnecessary.

Taatnr 8ervlc, Ina. ... .... NOT FAIR The Oregon Statesman dislikes to criticize a visitor, but sometimes our visitors overstep the proprie ties. Mr. reeman made a very gobd talk before' the chamber- of commerce, tie - was- supposed - to be here to boost Oregon, yet he de voted , a (great deal of his time to defaming our state and criticizing our laws. No man has any bus! ness boosting a state on a salary and at the same time defaming the state before its own citizens. It Is not good 'sportsmanship. It is not . good (business, either. AUTO LICENSE FEES Governor pierce is quoted as saying that he is in favor of adding another cent to the gasoline tax It is a tact that there Is not one tenth the complaint about the gas oline tax as there is about the auto license fees. " ' We realize that in the gas tax they pay just for what they get, and that Is7 the fairest .tax on earth. It is exactly the same principle as In .the income tax, but the license is entirely too high. - If there is to be any increase in gas tax there certainly Bhould be' a de crease in the license tax. J WHY I WROTE 4 THE ILLUSTRATED BIBLE I STORY BOOK By Seymour Loveland . "Upon my completion of HERO STORIES FROM THE OLD TES TAMENT, I was asked to write a book for. still younger children Although I had been a kinder garten trainer and accustomed to associating ; with ' very young chil dren I had never written for ihem. - I expressed my disinclin a tion to attempt the task. The publishers insisted that I could write such a book as they wanted and express the same spirit as that conveyed In HERO STORIES. I still was unwilling to attempt it . being prejudiced against relat Ing Bible stories to children be tore they had reached an age of some judgment and discrimin ation. I was about to give my final refusal when there flashed through my mind the words "Suffer the little children to com unto me; forbid them not Thereupon I commenced to write and .

' But I knew that it Lillian wished me to know this I fact "officially" she would tell ' it to" me in her own gdod time, and tha t1 until then she would approve the assumption had made. -1 "I am glad to see you looking so well," he returned with genu- ne pleasure In his tones be wu too sincere and ingenuous a youth to feign interest he did not feel. Your summer evidently has done you a world of good." j "That will do fo r the ameni ties," Lillian interrupted with gay impatience. "Mr. Chester, isn't making a social call.

I don't dare be seen talking to them myself, but I think with Mr. Ches ter's aid we shall get along fam ously." (To be continued) . CHAPTER 176 WHY MADGE WAS SURPRISED AT LILLIAN'S VISITOR I watched with tense interest for Kfctie to emerge from her room after her interview with Lillian. And when Katie finally came back to the kitchen I was relieved to see that she was outwardly com posed, and would,, no 'doubMbe able to go on with her daily rou tine , without any emotional out break. . ' . But her pallor, the strained ex pression of her eyes, her occasion al furtive glances from side - to side, as. If she were In deadly fear of some terrible menacing thing appearing suddenly beside her, told : me .that she was suffering mental tortures because of having broken her swear" to Lillian and confided to her the information concerning the mysterious., man now in the hospital, which Lillian counted of , so much ' importance in the government investigation in which she was engaged. My heart was very tender , and very pituul toward, my. aevoiea tittle. maid, whose love lor my child and me has proved stronger than her centuries-inherited , fear of the "black magic" with which the j man In the .hospital, .had threatened her, and ,1 resolved to do the utmost in my power to ban Ish from Jier brain the fear, whjcb was obsessing her. I counted much upon her volatile nature, be lieving that not the fear of death nor any other creature" cOuld absolutely subdue Katie. If could only divert her mind in some way. " As if In answer to my thought," Lillian's little speech flashed Into my inind. 1 "We can only mark time,' she had ' said. "I'm at your .service lor any atver- sion your heart desires I think a little figurative J" will do you good." ; ... .. Madge's Plan. An excursion of one day or, two to the ocean beach this was the first project to come to my mind. Within easy motoring distance Jay miles and miles of wonderful sandv beaches upon which the real ocean beat gayly or sullenly according to its mood-i-beat with never a sand bar or rock, between the shore and that '"of' the Euro Dean continent; three thousand miles away. ; t In the preparations for such trip, most of which wouia tan up on Katie's shoulders, the girl would find no time for Introspec tion or retrospection. 'And there would be no keener enjoyment of the air, the bach and the waves than' hers. Katie is a true gypsy at heart,, and her love of the out-of-doors has always been a strong link between us. ' I had been so busy' with Junior and Mother Graham, following Katie's return to the kitchen, that I had not noticed what Lillian was doing, whether. Indeed, she were in the house , or not. And when full of my little scheme for our relaxation, I looked for her. found her sitting on a garden bench underneath the giant elm the oride of the place, talking earnestly to a slender but well built youth whose back was turn ed to me.

I find there is a gen eral increasing interest in . the training. school for boys. Much of the indifference of-the past has been due to the tact that but lit tle has been heard concerning this most 'Important institution. cial message to the legislature dealing with the . needs of the training school for boys imparted to the public Information that had long been familiar to those close ly associated with the work of this institution. - Mr. Olcott was so thoroughly convinced that an emergency really existed that he made the training school question the subject for a special message and called both bodies of the legis lature together to listen to his ap peal for relief from an almost in tolerable ; situation. Circumstances since then , have constantly kept the .training school, question fresh 4a the minds of the public.; .c.r, Investigations have been made by members of the various social. benevolent, fraternal, and business organizations Of the , tate, and hundreds' of visitations by Individ uals wishing a closer contact with working conditions at the school have been made and as a result the concensus of opinion today, as ( set It, is that , we, as guardians ol the unfortunate young boys who must be taken car e of outside of their rightful homes, have been altogether - 'too; tight with , our money, f. , 1 ; ;' " Little has the legislature known concerning the needs of this insti tution. ( The legislature, is only interested in what the 'people are Interested in, .'or some faction of the people which is sufficiently In terested to give expression to their minds, i We are getting aroused to the fact that an emergency really exists, and as a people I be lieve we are going to . see to it that character Is put before cash, and that this element of our future manhood Is given the opportunity that makes for useful, lives and law abiding citizens. ' We have an appropriation for a new site for the school, also for new buildings. God knows, if no one else does that both are needed ' A new site and new buildings with a suitable appropriation for maintenance will make possible the realization of the dreams of those men and women who have for. years studied the unfortunate boy problem with a view of doing something to right the great In justice : forced upon them. This institution should be made true to name a training school. Make it self supporting if possible THE POKE WITH STRAW BRAID CROWN You can almost make the straw braid poke by following the picture without further directions. The crown, you see, Is made by sewing rows of braid together over an old crown of the proper shape, then taking out the crown and leaving a flexible braid eovering.v This Is ex actly the process milliners use when they make the soft crown hats you find In the shops. ; e . '. This hat is likely to cost a bit morethan other hats' you have learned to make in these lessons, for the braid Is usually about ten cents a yard and you wil need ten yards. Perhaps you can get yours more cheaply. Make your buckram frame as In the diagram, following it for J measurements. The brim Is longer on the sides, so you want to cut it off a little in front and still more In back. Cover the brim with cloth and bind the edge with1 braid. Sew your braid together, beginning. at the bottom and whipping on successive rows till the top brings it to an end. Be smrenot to sew to the crown, as it is tocome out. A nice way to finish the hat is to put yarn flowers or pom-pons on each side of the crowni . You may make them yourself. -. ' . . " i ;. Peter Inzzle Says--- - ' Here are four incomplete wcr.; .
