'UT THEM
(Pourtland Journal.)
'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 " '

COXSTITUTIOXAL WEEK
, f. 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.
Only a small percent of Amer-
' leans are disloyal but a large per-
. . cent of us are careless. We love

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

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

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

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

roJC4 Each side
whimpered on the other; each side
made silly charges V against the
other; each side declared the other

therefore unsatisfactory. If Firpo

have gone home or'if Wills had
been knocked -out he would have

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

A FUX.N p SITUATION
In speaking of a humble private

A WONDERFUL WORLD

around the newspaper offices' to

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. V'
Madge Keeps Silent.
j And while I had just b?en critic
ising Dicky myself, mentally yet
this second voicing of my own
thought upon? Mr. UnderwoMii's
part made J me incosistently
enouKhi furiously angry. Or; I.
mercilessly probed the secret;Te
jcesscs of my spirit was not'my
anger Darty due to my outraged
vanity, stung by the words "white
mouse," and !tiger eat," which- he
had used in' comparing mo to

He. no doubt, meant to be
chivalrous and complimentary, but
he Was a generation too lafe' in
gauging my reaction to his words.
I should like? to see the modern
woman who would enjoy visti il
izing herself as a shrinking. In

splendid, little-tiger cat!
I did not I answer him. for I
feared I would betray the childish

guessed my resentment, without
the reason fo.r it, for be, too, fell
silent, and it was not until : the
ferry at the end of picturesque
Shelter Island came into 'view
that he spoke again.
"The IordJ alone knows whe
ther or not I'm ever going t if see
yott again. Lady Fair." belaid,
and there was an unsteadiness in
his deep voicp unmistakable in its
sincerity of emotion. "But I want
you to get me right on what I'm
doing. Your father may onmy
not give you ; any dope on me, so
I'm going tofhand you a little on
my own account."
"Each Man Has His Niche.'"
He had slowed the car down to
a crawl, and hu piloted it into-the
space by tho ferry, deserted now
until the next boat, turned off the
ignition switch and shifted toward
me. his eyes feverishly brilliant.
"Nobody knows better than 1 do
just how many kinds of yellow
mongrel I was upon a certain occa
sion." he said. "But it's curious.,

Humane Education for
Children Is Encouraged
4A pamphlet entitled 'Sugges
tions for the Teaching of Humane
Education in the: Public Schoola
of Oregon' is being distributed to
the teachers of the state by J. 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. Thus
kindess becomes habit, and habit
becomes education."
