'The recent conference on;risoii industries at Salem re commended employment of all able-bodied prisoners at con ! Btructii'e labor at an early date.- It is a wise 'recommendation. "From the standpoint of the state there, can be no argu ment relative to the employment of the prisoners kept at state expense in the penitentiary. They should be made to, as nearly as possible, pay for their keep. To let them remain idle at state expense, when they could be employed to the benefit qf the tax payersi is folly. Idle men are not improving; themselves, they are given plenty of time . to hatch up schemes? j for escape, and they are out of the habit of working when thfy are again re leased .The result is that they are either not prepared to take care of themselves upon release or they do not care to work. That is to the disadvantage of both the state and the prisoner. "But" the 'work should be constructive. Prisoners should, after service of a term, come out of the penitentiary with a trade;! 'a profession, or at least knowledge of some iine of en .deavor, in I which they ..may make a livelihood. "When they are released under those conditions,! they are far less likely to re- - turn to the path of crime. That "would be much to the advantage of the prisoner and much to the advantage of society. The sooner all state prisoners are put to work at construc tive employment the better it will be for the prisoners and the better: it will be for the people who are compelled to keep them , prisoners and pay the cost." ; . - The above from the Portland Journal is well said., The flax - "industry now being developed at the penitentiary is calculated to do exactly what the Journal what the conference recommended-f- H " ' when the development is fully plete,!to the last Ted cent; with the shoulders of the taxpayers, itentiarv at.

It is true that there is a lament- . able, 'almost disgraceful lack familiarity with the constitution. It is true. also that the last threo or four, years we are addressing : . ourselves more to, studying this t . wondesful document. It must be : borne ia mind that by constitu tion week is rnot , merely meant studying the letters of the docu- - 1 ment although that is mighty Im portant. It is making a new con- sccration to the sacred duties of citizenship, a fuller understanding and! appreciation , of . the obliga tions incurred by those living under this wonderful free govern ment. The constitution stands as the embodiment of every religious J and! political right. It is the Magna Charta of a' citizen's con " duct,-and in studying that we im bibe the ideas of citizenship. ! Americans are notoriusly com placent, and smug with their gov- .ernment. They! think it is so strong ; that" it can get by with anything. It is at present strong. but If we neglect. It and allow the "rotten ing Influences at destruction to; flourish , they will widen . and deepen and finally reach the heart of our government. Up to this ' time the heart of America Is un touched, and pure but theso de- , grades would not hesitate a second to lay Impious bauds upon tho heart of America. " On the cont- . 'rary they would have a diabolical glee la feeling that at last they had reached tho vitals of Amer- ' ica and could stab It to death.

We live to ourselves and tor ourselves, whereas we should live for our country and and its highest glory and good should be our first aim.; The wording of the constitution Is beautiful, t the spirit of it 1 wonderful but in typifying Amer ican virile citizenship it is at its best. We should study the word nig or me constitution but we should reconsecrate and rededlcate ourselves tq keeping America clean and virile. JUDGE JOHN' McCOUKT The state jot Oregon sustained a severe loss in the death of Judge John McCourt. He was a man of wide legal .' learning, broad human sympathy, of an analytical mind. His decisions were careful ly studied and a result of mature deliberation ;mixed with an acute conscience.; j He tried to deal , out justice in every decision; he tried to get at the; bottom of each case; he tried to I find the facts. The splendid record he made shows that he succeeded to a marked degree. . . :. , !:..,; There was one line of reason that Judge McCourt put out which should commend a man to all the people if there were not hundreds of other things of importance with which he was Identified. He took the position that to enforce the prohibitory law there must be recognized .a conspiracy. In the next fewjyears the entire enforce ment of this law is mighty apt to turn upon this opinion , In any Violation of the law there has to be a conspiracy. Judge ilcCourt was quick to see this and inteli ligently pointed it out so that it is already working itself Into the bearts of those in favor of law enforcement. ;' . ; As a citizen Judge McCourt was public spirited, progressive. lie liked his fellow men; he liked to mingle with them; he liked - to exercise the duties of citizenship. In his public addresses he invari ably took high ground and ground that could be common ground to every hundred per cent American. Salem 'which knew him well in the years ol his residence here feels that it has lost a man whose influence was always for good. His kindly nature endeared him to many people. He belonged here of course only by adoption but he entered into our community life and became a part ; of our existence. It was the way the man had of being useful wherever placed and 1 making the best of every circumstance. A great man has gone from among us.' FIRE LOSSES While deploring that hunters endanger the. forests all the dan ger is not with the hunters. The carelessness of campers is making it imperative to prohibit camp ing except in regular places. The next legislature will be asked to do this and may do It. A great part of our fire losses is because every year there are many campers, picnicers, and auto mobile tourists who take their recreation In the woods. This is an expensive practice and these people are a menace to the public. Estimating that recreation in the .forests costs the government and timber owners sums ranging from several million dollars,: in fortunate year, to as much' as $25,000,000 the government state ment - suggests that "perhaps it comes at too high price." Perhaps the association is mini mizing the responsibility, of its members yhen it says that very: few fires are 'attributable to log ging operations." : Perhaps not directly,, but there Us abundant evidence in the Pacific northwest that many fires are the result of failure of the companies or their contractors to clean up after log ging off land. Fires are easily jstarted in these cut-over areas. and from them often extend into green timber. ; This year the fire losses will be the greatest ever because it has . been the driest year ever known but this is the time take our lesson and resolve thai even if .there are dry years in the future the danger from fires will De minimized. - i :i i- . i v. A. PECULHI? MIX-UP Kansas is regarded as a freak: state.; It is not a freak state in any sense, it is the state of virile men and live thinkers. Just now it is : upset politically and Wik liam Allen .White the famous writer Is threatening to run for governor as an independent, on an antl-klan ticket. Three years ago White defied his friend Governor Allen, posted a placard of 50 per cent sympathy with a strike. That is an index to his character. He has in tense beliefs and will express them at any hazard. Mr. White is la rare man, one of our ..greatest Americans, unselfish, courageous and devoted to the public service He would run for governor if he thought there was a principle in volvcd just, the Bame if he knew he wouldn't be' elected as if he knew he would. ' Out in this country we do not appreciate the political mix-up ff the middle-west, i There is ab solute chaos there in more than one state. That is why the presi dential election is guessing. Out here the unrest has not reached It is easy to see that the drift is toward Coolidge. In the mid die-West the drift hasn't started in any direction. They are al busy hell-raising and going in no particular direction. t AXOTHEK STRAW VOTE The Literary Digest Is under taking the most gigantic pre-elec tion poll this country has ever known. Fifteen million ballots are already in the mail and others are going out at the rate of one million a day. ': ( The results of this gigantic ref erendum will be an index of the official outcome an, as such a valuable aid in your local political prognostications,-as the vote will be tabulated by States, To tht end - it will be of- benefit ' all around.. If you will kindly urge those of. your friends who have received ballots to mark and mail them at once in order to reveal the political "trend In your state. 5 Further, each ballot ; is mailed in an individual envelop, personal ly: addressed with pen and 'ink, and delivered directly to the voter through the United States mails. The return postage of each ballot is ; prepaid. All classes 'possible to obtain have been - Incorporated in the huge list, including busi ness and professional, union -and non-union, nreiiand women. s TRAVELING HOPEFULLY It was Stevenson who said It was "better to travel - hopefully than to arrive." days older; people In our school can remember the question was j often debated, I' Resolved, ; that pursuit is better than possession.") It iis an old etory and probably can never be stttled conclusively because it has so many different angfes. 'For instance a young man full of enthusiasm and courage wins the heart of his lady. love. You can't tell him pursuit is better than possession. Again some young men win their hearts desire in the way of success -early in life. You can't j tell ; them pursuit is better than possession, . However most of the things that the aver age man receives !in lite come too late, come after 'the red-hot. In spirational, hat-throwing enthus iasm has cooled off and it is the steady grind. One: reason why youth is the greatest ihing in the world is because t is enthusiastic and because it attains its ends so gleefully and j sustains defeat go casually. As a man gets older he becomes more serious-, more de termined. There! is little enthus iasm then, It is neither pursuit or possession, it is a dodged determ ination to see th'o thing through and fight to the! ertd. The win ning spirit In the world is the spirit that never stops fighting. THE PRIZE FIGHT There Is nothing exhilarating In a prize fight. There Is Just one good thing about it and that is it shows the possibilities of physic al "development land also shows the positive necessity, of living clean. Prize fighters are knocked out ten times by their profligacy to once by ' their adversary. They make gods of 'their strength and believe they arc exceptions to all laws civil, inal. moral, and crim prize fight there In the recent was nothing he roJC4 Each side whimpered on the other; each side made silly charges V against the other; each side declared the other fouled. It was j inconclusive and therefore unsatisfactory. If Firpo had been knocked ; out he would have gone home or'if Wills had been knocked -out he would have quit the game. lAs tt is the public must be ; pestered - with both of them for some time yet. THE DOUBLE LIFE The cases of the;: Chicago boy murderers who seem to have double or triple Or sometimes quadruple personalities are equal to a case of Dr. Jekvl and Mr Hyde In ficting. but in real life they have a parallel; ' In 1770 Gleorg'e Itulpff, a schoolmaster was convicted of a series of robberies and murders In Virginia, his own wife and daugh ter being among the victims. His cold blooded cruelty is a record that would be hard to beat, hut Ruloff had hisj other side. He was an jardent philologist. and had been (engaged for years on the invention of a universal language. Xo lone could attempt to palliate his primes, but a widely-signed petition was presented to the governor of Virginia for his reprieve on the ground that as his invention. If completed, would be of the utmost' benefit to man kind it WOuId D Vrim inal fnlltr to extinguish such a light of learn ing. The governor thoucht other wise, and Ruloirf was duly hanged. A FUX.N p SITUATION In speaking of a humble private citizen i whose only aim is to render such service as he can the rest of his life,; the Corvallis Gazette-Times declares the man is a candidate for office. That is the first admission that that reactionary sheet, lias" evecmade that it was popular to be decent and progressive: , Jt is so reaction ary that it has always declared that the forward looking citizens were a small pack or wolves mak ing a big noifsej, -., A WONDERFUL WORLD The peophi who congregated around the newspaper offices' to hear the news of; the prize fight did not know, that they were,-a bit oldfashioped. All over the country people sat in their homes and heard the report of this fight just as quickly as it was heard in tront of the: newspaper offices. That's what radio does. PRATUM A. . J.

Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright by Newspaper Feature Service CHAPTER 2CC THE DESCRIPTION HARRY UN : DERWOOD GAVE OF ' HIMSELF f One crisp sentence of Harry'Un- derwood's criticism of Dicky stuck in my j consciousness like barb all though: the rest of my drive with him to Greenport by way of the Shelter Island ferry. Unconsciously, I ; think, it tinged all the rest of the story I told him. while he drove Dicky's car easily with but one hand resting negligently upon the wheel, ap parently giving all his attention tq me. and none to the car. xet 1 felt unaccountably secure that any emergency would find him ready and capable of meeting It. Mt "r ''The Dicky-bird ought, to know. better than , anybody else in the world, what f he is capable of,' he! had Bald, referring' to Grace Draper, "and yet he opened the cage door and let her in." : Without knowing it, he had put into words a vague resentment which I had, almost subconscious ly cherished against Dicky evr since we had suffered the terrible consequences of ; permitting Grace Draper to come; back into our family life. ; lie should have pro tected me against my own compas sion, and against that more inde finable thing which had lain at the root of my decision to admit her a fear thai he might think mo ungenerous. j ' T , There Is nothing so dangerous', so corroding to one's spirit as self pity. By the time I had reached the, end of Harry Underwood's questioning concerning Grace Draper I had worked my imagina tion to the point of considering myself a much; abused and mis understood creature. sf j Hut the man beside me uncon sciously furnished me with a vefy effective lancet for' my swollen self-compassionwhen .. he' said at the end of his questioing: j "You1 poor little white mouse! You didn't have a chance with that tiger cat.. Wish I had the Dicky-bird here! I'd wring hjs graceful neck'for letting you 1 in for a time like that. I'll Just give him fair warning if be can't take better care of you than that ,111 come back and run off with you." ( If he had meant to give me a reaction against himself anl arouse my championship of Dicky he could, not have .chosen better words. The idea of reckless, un scrupulous, utterly irresponsible Harry Underwbod cherishing and protecting any-woman or remain ing faithful to her through the humdrum of life was so absurd as to be laughable.

In early life she became a Chris tian, uniting with the Baptist church. She lived an earnest, consistent lire mougn ior six : long, weary years Bhe was an Invalid, the last three she was helpless and blind and was constantly! cared for by her! step-son and devoted sister. Too much cannot be said in praise of these who ministered to her with such patience and loving care. - -." ' - ! It is said of her that "she was pre-eminently a mother and her greatest desire was to see her children develop into strong, use ful Christian men and women." ; Many gathered at the home of Mr. Todd to pay their respect to her memory and sympathy for the loyed ones. ! . The funeral was conducted by t, and Mrs. E. H. Kelknap, for many years close friends of the family.

A,' Churchill, state superintendent of schools. - In the foreword Mr. Churchill sayc: J "Believing that the chief end of education is character, and that the first law of personal culture H consideration of others, it be comes the duty of the public school to instill into; the minds f the -children under its jurisdiction a proper regard not only for hun an beings, but for dumb: animals as well. . Most children have a natural love for animals, and thi.-i admiration should be ncourag?d and cultivated. They should bo so taught that they; will have a v appreciation and! fhoughtfulneFs for all dumb creatures, and will have a sympathetic interest . iu them, to the end not only that justice may be done these useful friends of mankind, but that kind ness and gentleness may become a part of the nature of the child. "It is during the impressionistic age of childhood that the sed3 o such human v-irtuesf as gentleness, kindness, forbearance, and charity are planted and are cultivated hv daily acts of thonghtf ulness. Thero -is no better way of' training chil dren in the virtues than- by teac't ing them to be kind and just to their animal playmates; to refraiu from neglecting, frightening, strik ing, or injuring in any way house hold pet3; to feed the birds in win ter, and to be thoughtful, always, of every living creature.
