Should Be Frowned Down, A correspondent wiitinsj to the New York Sun rills atten tion to a species of Christinas blackmail which ho speeilicallv locates at New Haven, Conn. In the factory in question many irls aiul hoys are employed at a wage of ainl $4 a week. Some of the sub-foremen, to curry favor with the boss, start sub scription papers to get hint a Christmas present. Kadi one is taxed half a dollar. In the factory are men of families who earn $D or ? 10 a week and they, too, have to come through. Whilst he calls attention to a specific case with which he happens to be familiar he says that observation has taught him that the practice is quite general. At the bottom of it theie is a note of coercion which threatens loss of position in case the indi vidual solicited fails to pay over the assessment. ''How cruel this rotten system!" he says '"How beastly! An honest person could not accept a present from such a source and the owners, direc tors and officials of a concern which permits such 'Christmas gifts' cannot be decent." There is an indignant ring to ail of this that strongly appeals to every right thinking man. If such things go on in Portland we hope this will reach the proper eye and have the effect of heading off a species of Christ mas blackmail which decent men everywhere must warmly and indignantly disapprove. Port land Telegram. Indiana, Illinois, West Vir ginia and South Carolina, to gether with several other states, have joined in with New York, making eleven states in all, that will work together to limit un desirable immigration. The ob ject surely is a worthy one; this country can produce enough of that class without importing any. However, the undesirable class is not composed of those who labor for their sustenance, but of those who prey upon so ciety and tax labor to the star vation point; the criminal class, whether composed of legal or common criminals, is undesira ble to upright citizens. A steamer is reported to have lost its rudder on the bar at Horn bold t, California, day be fore yesterday. In this it is strikingly like a great many men whose steering gear has been sadly deranged at divers and sundry bars scattered up and down the country. Kugeue Reg ister. The editor and publisher of the Capital News, of Boise, Ida ho, have found trouble by pub lishing Col. Roosevelt's views on a decision of the court which had the effect of keeping the Roosevelt electors off the ticket, so we find that it is not always safe to publish what great men say. It is intimated that Roose velt wiU also receive the atten tion of the judiciary of the same state if he will come within the conlines of Idaho, and prominent progressives have written him urging Kim to make the venture. 1 1 -i I'i'i u 1 1 1 i'iv I IfofMin told itll ! election, this week, and the wets won with an increased majority over the vote taken some time ago when the city voted for Home Rule The vote was chronicled as nearly double that of the preceding election, and hence, the charge is made that a large proportion of the women voted with the liquor interests. It is a serious question, but we believe that the women have as much right to use intoxicants and tobacco as the men have. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT. Our Growth It Slid to Continue Evan Up to the Aijo oF Forty. Ciireful stu.j'rs ami incisure meats have shown that our time of actual maturity and urro-t of growth in physical i liar.ieters. such a-i lyight. weight and ilti-sl girlh. i much later than for'iierlv sup posed.'' says lr. Woods 1 1 ll fll hlon in Hampton's. " Instead of reach ing, us was at one time eon'iilentlv Stated, our full height at eighteen, on r full strength at twenty-three and our full chest trirth at twenty five, a a unit tor of fact we continue to increase, slowly it is true, in all these respect until thirty-live, thirty-eight and even fortv year of By living n healthful, active, hap py life and keeping up all our in terests we can grow and develop anil adjust ourselves and feci that we are growing until we are one ilav suddenly dead, without ever realizing in any distres-ing or pain ful wav that we are growing old at all. "Already old age has gone quite out of fashion. The civilized, edu cated man or woman of seventy is youngiT than the savage of forty or the peasant of fifty. What with steady spread of regular vacations and country or suburban homes and walking cluhs and golf and irardens and Atitnmnhiling and travel of all sorts, those who would have been considered old once are now only seventy or seventy-five years voting. "Not only is there no definite period in adult or Inter life when those so called senile 'Imnges !o gin, but there is no period at which they become accelerated or start to progress at a more rapid rate than before. In fact, the extraordinary paradox exists that what wo term old age is the time of life in which we are growing old least rapidlv. The only thing that makes it ap pear otherwise is that we have been steadily growing old all our lives Ion gand the thousand impercepti ble accum'tlations have mounted to a pitch which we can recognize."
