Since the strike was declared nine-tenths of the unorgnniied employes have join ed the unions -and while a few non union negroes are working, the em ployes' claim .-that there Is not enough unorganized packing house labor lu the country to operate the plauts. So the strike slmpiy depends on the ' j staying qualities of the contestants, : , unless the state of Illinois forces the UMO.'.g-LAPEL case to arbitration. When a man is thoroughly angry, it is not reasonable to demand that he be coherent. Count Leo Tolstoy's letter to the London Times on the Rus sian Japanese war is a cage of wild emotions in an uproar: It is a soul on fire in the winter of discontent: it Is biasing and frigid by urns; now It Is wratnful. then it is piteous, again contemptuous, and yet. In anger, compassion or dis dain, it is hopeful. Surely Count Tolstoy never was more intensely human than In this demand, this plea, this hope less, hopeful exhortation that his fellow-men act. not like men at all, but like angels. Outlook. i The work now being done on the : Columbia bnr and the jetties at the I mouth of the Columbia river is of 1 such a permanent and efficient nature , ! that the speedy removal of that bar- , rier seems now assured. The slow ' and tedious extension of the jetties i farther and farther into the ocean is j deflecting the sand carried down by the stream away from the bar toward I the coast on the north side, and is creating a channel and a suction which promises to scour out a pas- ! suge that will give 40 feet of waer , over the present bar where there Is now but 22 feet. Portland and the . i entire Inland Empire are watching ; the progress of this work with joy. , Its success means unquestioned com- mercial supremacy for Oregon's grow ing metropolis: it means completion of other river improvements, that will ( place the ocean within easy access I from the Isolated fertile empires. I now locked behind the river barriers. To be optimistic about your state. !

The transient gleam of his enthusiasm, somebody always stumbles onto a val uable addition to the community. It may come in the form of new enter prises, or It may come in the form of a more compact and harmonious business organization, but good al ways results from enthusiasm, along Industrial lines. It don't pay to be glum. The world judges you by your coun tenance largely. The packing house strike now on ef fects 100.000 men and promises to be bitter and prolonged. It Is interesting to know that the organized butchers who precipitated the strike had no grievance. The packers offered to renew the agreement with the organ ized trades, which expired on May 28, and which was entirely satisfactory to both sides bo agreement with the unorganized. Northern Japan.

The republican campaign managers must fear the fat-frying cannot be carried on this year so industriously and successfully as In 18&C and 1900 for already they have contrived a means to save postage. Congress adjourned more than eight weeks ago and yet no later than a week ago the last number of the Congressional Becord was issued. This number contained several speech es by republicans on campaign topics. and while they were never delivered., they were given a place in the Record by virtue of a general leave to print. If republican members of congress can write speeches eight weeks after the adjournment of congress and have them printed In the Record, they can do so . eight months afterward, and the Record can be used as a republi can campaign book sent out under a government frank, postage free. The grafty old party has become extreme ly versatile in Its methods, but, real ly, we hadn't expected it to become so cheap as to try to beat the tioor defenseless government on postage bills.
