A CHEAT PROBLEM. People differ as to the most important problem that Amer icans of today have to solve. In th ni n of some it is "this," and in the opinion of others it is "that and the other," but in all seriousness it is the writer's opinion that one of the most vital questions to be answered is, "Where are the cooks, dish washers and babytenders of the next few y to be secured?" It is a question that effects in dividuals, families, communities, i- , and in short the nation. iiiere is already a marked aversion to housework- notice able among the young women of today. So much so. indeed, that the girl who can do the or dinary household work, includ ing cooking, and do it accept ably and without the supervision of an older person, is the except ion rather than ..he rule- Not uniy this, but the average girl tarns up her nose at domestic duties, and seeks for work in office, store or shop at a meagre salary, out of which she usually ir uit pay board and other ex penses, leaving her no more, if as much, as she would earn at housework. Every avenue of business seems swamped with applicants many only half qualified for the work sought, thus giving incom petent service at a much lower figure many times than thorough ly competent parties could com mand were there fewer of these "ciitap Juhns" to fill the places No one wishes the women of to day to retrograde nor takea "bad. seal" in any line of business for which they are fitted. The "new woman" is alright, but she needs to retain enough oldfashioned ideas to prevent one from forget ting her natural place in life, the home, and classing her pure ly with the business elements of the universe. Let the young women learn first of all that the home is the real thing in life and that all else is simply a "'side issue" leading towards it Let them be taught housework from a to z and taught it thoroughly, meanwhile teaching tham that a motherly mother in a "homey" home is the most blessed thing on earth and that she can wield an influence that any king might envy. Let the girls of today be given the right idea in childhood re garding the honorableness of home work and house work, and one of the most vital subjects of the hour will have been satisfact orily disposed of within the next decade. BAD POLICY. More and more murders, like wise more and more temporary insanity. Surely, we are a great people. The large dailies rarely miss an issue to chronicle some murder. The latest one in Ore gon is the case of Blohs killing one Lemmon, near Roseburg The deed was committed June 10, 1906. Blohs, of course was insane. It is a noticeable fact that when a man has money and kills another he is insane the more money he has the "crazier" he is. Sometimes, as in the case of Blohs, the murderer is crazy even though he has no money. There are many good people who decry capital punishment And yet we all believe there is too much "temporary insanity" in fashion these days. If the man who takes the life of another be not insane then he is sane and responsible for his acts. A sane man knows that the penalty for murder is death. Knowing this he must expect to forfeit his life when he takes the life of another. Then why, if he possesses a particle of reason, does he commit murder? Be cause, we believe, he thinks he can escape the full penalty he can be temporarily insane, have an attack of "brain storm," or some other mental ailment which will incapacitate him until the court discharge him as a free man, at which time he will re sume nis ordinary and previous position in the affairs of his life. Something should ' be done to check the increase of temporary insanity it is getting worse than appendicitis. Make the chances of escaping the penalty fewer and the malady will fade away. We are truly a great, a logical and reasoning people! For in stance you can't buy enough al cohol on your own responsibility, regardless of your good charac ter and standing in the commun ity, to clean a lookingglass, but you can purchase a revolver and walk out and shoot the top off some man's head. Us for wis dom! CANNOT ESCAPE. Abe Ruef, erstwhile political boss and dictator of San Fran cisco is now in the toils of the law. Every practice known to sharp counsel haa been resorted to by Ruef 's attorneys in order to defeat law and equity. How ever, he must come to trial. . This is as it should be. No man should be above the law, and Ruef has no more license to ou rage public decency, appro priate money not his own than any other man. Who is he that he should be allowed to defy law and order and escape punish ment? In the eyes of the law he should be no more than any other man. No man should be above the laws of bis country. No man can be greater politi cally t han the people of his coun try make him. Prosecuting Attorney Heney is conducting the case against Ruef and it looks mightily like he would land the boss that has been, in San Quentin. The signs of the times are engaging as they indicate a higher standard of morals in nearly all things. Throughout the land we see more and more of a "square deal" idea creeping in. Let not a wealthy man or a man of influ ence escape punishment for an offense that would ,not be en dorsed in the poorest laborer in the land. Then you have justice such as will be respected by all. Give This a Thought. The white paper alone on which many papers are printed costs more than is paid by the purchas er for the printed edition. The cost of white paper has been ad vancing for years. Printing ink never cost more than at the pres nt time, and wages were never higher, yet the price of the out put hrts been retained. The newspapers of the country in their columns seem to point out every thing in the news line pertaining to the formation of trusts in oil, liugar, paper, coal, steel, and al most every commodity in general use, but they entirely overlook the fact that they could and should point with great interest to the tact that newspapers are supplying the public with the news of the world under a great er expense of production than at any time previous, while the comparative cost of advertising has not been greatly increased. The newspapers have been in the front rank in the development of American civilization, and to day they give more to the pur chaser for the investment than it is possible to receive in any other channel of expenditure. Anv thoughtful person who will care fully consider the increased pub lication cost of newspapers and the vast amount of information and pleasure the people derive from them at ola time prices will agree with us that the postage on them as well as on letters should be reduced-Ex. : For Ederheimer, Stein & Co. makers Come to-morrow 5 r and select from a wonderfully large variety of HIGHER GRADE suits and fine, rich fabrics, per fectly tailored and fashioned in the season's favorite models.

At an adjourned meeting of the Corvallis Fire Department held this week more or less busi ness of importance was transact ed, although the election of cap tains for the department was post poned uutil the next meeting. An executive committee was ap pointed, which is composed of E. E. Wilson, JohH F. Allen and Geerge Carl. The matter of the .Jobs addi tion company was fully discussed and ten applications from that Company for tnemhership .in the Corvallis Fire D -partrneut were -eceived.

Young THERE is a lot of talk now adays about clothes for col lege and University Young Men. It gives one the idea that these must be something different from the usual run of clothes. They sometimes are. But the fact that some makers call their goods by a col lege name doesn't make them' different. A label isn't all there is to good clothes, for there are many fancy labels on very poor merchandise. A label is nothing unless it represents makers of ability; a college man amounts to nothing in clothes unless the materials and workmanship are such as to make the clothes better We want it thoroughly understood that we sell young men's clothes, that these garments have that extra style, better tailoring, neater appearance and swing to them than one wants to find in the college type of apparel. They are made by such an authority on Young Men's clothes as Eder heimer, Stern & Co. That's sufficient. We could call them by a college name, but it wouldn't make the clothes better. They're ahead of all so-called college clothes now. over the hose cart and equip ment to the fire department. The depirttnent expects to revise its constitution at an early date, to meet the present conditions and Mpid jjrowth of the city, and to provide Corvallis with complete fite protection.
