RESTORE T1IE STOLEN LANDS. stituted of half a doxen or more cor porations,' 1 resents a serious problem to the people of Oregon. There Is well-founded sentiment that the hold ers of thl free-gift land should b? compelled to cut up their holdings, mil In sms.ll tracts, stand out of the way of homebuildeis, admit lumber men for logging, flumlng and booming nn 1 let in miners and Irrigators. "Wide ribbons of lands, granted in alternate sections, from six to 40 mlls .n breadth, run across the stati from one side to another. Thoy have al ways beep a blight on tlu state and a'e worse now than ever." T.e peopli ot Cirego-i ccmld bi-gln the now year in no more appropriate manner than by resolving to force the foreign companies holding the magnificent land grants to disgorge, In some way, the rich holdings they poess. The Cregonlan suggests, as has the 3 j East Orogonlan many times in the s I past, that these Idle holdings be taxed a ! as high as improved lands surround- ' Ir.tr tl.em. The landlords of these , grants are escaping taxes, while the . Industrious man who plows, builds c ' and irrigates to make his land pro- j ductlve. Is taxed for his industry. Tax the Idle lan.l Into iiqo TTornA the landlords to sell to anxious set tlers. Make them bear their share of public expense. Make them do something to improve and benefit the state. It Is a disgrace and a crime to tax the man who builds a brick building on a lot and thereby builds up the town and community, and at the same time to permit Idle land held for speculative purposes to es cape scot Tree!

Is the restoration of the stolen lands to the people. Now th.it a fearless president and secretary of the Interior have opened the ball In Oregon and through tire less prosecution have punished crlmi- l'OP, ANOTHER ASYLl'M. The retiring secretary of stale of Oregon, F. I. Dunbar, in his recom mendations to the legislature says that an asylum building for women nals in the land fraud business, let thej'hou!rt be ,bll!lt near the ont In people of Oregon continue the good fight arrt restore to the public do main, those magnificent tracts which have been acquired by legalized rob ben of tv.e public domain. The petty manipulations of the land thieves who have been prose cuted are insignificant when com pared ,o the legalized deals !n Ore gon Hnds which have been the means of depriving the people of their choic es! timber and much of the choicest farming land of the state. The Pol Hand Oregonlan In a strong editorial reviews the present condition of the state In the following manner: "Oregon, these 40 years, has been 'heM up" by grabbers fff land grants, who pncy.'ss some 5 nnn.ooo acres of the total unreserved 52.000,000 acres In the state. Their land monopoly, created by acts of congress between 1S62 and 1970, making free gift of vast areas of the public domain for so-called military roads and for rail roads, has barred settlement and de velopment from Its tracts and from important water courses and fertile vallevs, by means of Its possession of altrnat3 sections, checkering the state In zig-zag lines. "These grafts were allowed by con gress and the lands were accepted by greedv grabbers, like franchises nowa days, under pretense that the free gift would cause the recipients to render a pu-.llc service. "Thry never have fulfilled the trust Imposed on them In a single Instance; they have secured the land by ren dering the least possible service, for the most part no service at all; they have shut out homesteaders, and r.ow stand in the way of national Irrigation works; their whole record Is one, If not f Infamy, then of flagrant breach of trust. "This greedy land monopoly, con- sane asylum at Paletn. The propos ed building would cost about $225.- 000. The legislature cannot afford to spend this sum of money In the erec tion of another asylum building at Salem. If this sum Is appropriated for an asylum building It should be billt in eastern Oregon, at Pendleton, whe-e the vast eastern portion of the state can be accommodated and where climatic conditions are favorable to such an institution. The legislature of Oregon must get away from the idea that Willamette valley, which 40 years ago was the center of settlement. Is all there Is of Oregon. A most gigantic young ani mal, eastern Oregon, has come to ma turity. His play ground is larger thin the map of the Willamette valley and in nil future questions of public good, "he must be consulted. They say the constitution will not permit of an eastern Oregon asylum. Oregon has outgrown Per old constitu tion. If the constitution prohibits this logical and practical business en terprise on part of the state, then let us delay the enterprise until the con stitution can be made right. An asylum in Pendleton, where the climate, atmosphere, altitude and en vironment are different from that of Willamette valley , would be a blessing to the Insane of the state. The leg islative must not spend a quarter of a million dollars of the people's money In another asylum on the west side of the Cascade mountains. miles. If one of them were to pass your door each minute day and night It would take three months for the entire number to go by." "There Is a real problem for real constructive statesmanship. And a senate of and for the people would consider It to the exclusion of all other problems until It was solved." Florence Kelley Is of the opinion that the enfranchisement of women Is indispensable to the solution of the child lahnr problem. She says; "In the four states in which women vote on all subjects, child labor and illit eracy have ceased to be problems. Nowhere In the Industrial world are children so effectively safeguarded In life, lirnb, health, education and mor als as in Denver, where mothers and tea 'iters unite to keep In office the justly famous Judge Llndsey of the Juvenile court, overcoming (with the help of a rrlnoitty of politically lnde pendent fathers) the united efforts of the republican and the democratic bosses against him. "In contract with the pood fortune of the children of Denver Is the plight of the half million Illiterate children In the 13 southern states. In which women have nn vote and make slight use (if any) of the right of petition. "Til Nov: York city, where women have no vote, the young children pay the pemtltv of the disfranchisement of thelv mothets and teachers." THE WOXDKRFIL SOMETHING. There's a Something that maketh a palace Out of four little walls and a prayer, A Something that seeth a garden In one little flower that Is fair; That tuneth two hearts to one pur pose And maketh one heart of two; That smiles when the sky Is a gray one .. And smiles when the sky Is blue. Without It no garden has fragrance, Tho' It holdeth the wide world's blooms; Without It a palace is a prison With cells for banqueting rooms' This Something that hallowcth sor row And stealeth the sting from care; This Something that maketh a pal ace Out of foil- little walls and a prayer.

There arc no political lines among the people where personal business Interests are Involved. A remarkable Illustration of this fact was witness ed In this city last Saturday night, when a strong resolution demanding tho removal of the tariff from Jute and jute products, was passed with out a dissenting voice. Undoubtedly there were strong protectionists In the met!ng, but the fact that the tariff Increases the price of grain sacks used extensively In Umatilla county, made a free trader of every farmer who had been pinched by the high prices. Why cannot farmers and bus iness men get together In this way In other matters in which thoy are vl tal'y Interested? CHIME OF CHILD LAROR.

Last March reports were receiv ed that a new volcanic island had been found in Tiering Sen. Later, L L. Bales, a well known Alaskan hunter and trapper sailed close to the Island. He estimated Its height at 900 feet and Its length at about three miles. Mr. Bales is quoted as saying: "The iBland hns come rrnm the depths of the sea since last spring. I hardly credited tho report when I first heard of It, but went close still running down Into the sea from to It shortly afterward In a scaling schooner, There were strenms of Inva the crater, or one of the craters.. The sea Is almost covered by thousands of dead fish. They have been killed by the heat from the lav. Close to the Island the sea almost bolls.
