JULY 23,. . . .1909 TDe Portland Chamber of Commeroe could materially assist in tbe upbuild ing of industries in tbo state if it would follow tbe lead being taken by (be Seattle Commercial Club. Tbe Seattle Club has sent out circulars to every otber commercial organization in Washington asking exaot informa tion as to what is most desired in each community served by suob an organ izatou. Wben ibis information is bad, tbe Seattle institution will do its best to Beoure for the smaller city or town that wbiob it wants. Seattle is a well known oity of tbe Northwest, and bitber go the seekers after infor mation about otber parts of tbe state, tbe men who desire to know tbe best opportunities wbiob may be open for e establishment of manufacturing 'or entering upon some line ' in some profession. A -itage of these ap to a smaller o purpose 1 oo- js and en. visitors and inquirers to where they are most needed and v tbe best opportunities are open. anoes of tbe performers. Tbe polioy that allows snob things to go on is a poor one financially when results are considered, for tbe comparatively small amounts received for licenses are but as a drop compared with tbe vast expenditures for police and other purposes. And from tbe moral and sooial standpoint tbe policy should be unreservedly condemned. When people buy an article of food, whether it is coffee, butter, canned goods, or anytbiug else, they want tbe real thing and not an imitation, and they also want full weight. It was to eeoure all this to the public, and in tbe interest of health also, that tbe pure food law was passed. Therefore tbe attempt now being made by power ful interests to break down this Jaw so as to be able to revert to tbe old system of dishonesty should be stren uously opposed. In this connection it should not be forgotten that under that system some of the mail order housee reaped a riob harvest and cut into tbe trade of tbe borne merobants by sending their customers inferior and adulterated goods of short weight, and it is reasonable to expect the same conoerns will be at their old tricks if the pure food law is found unconstitutional. Tbe oourts of Missouri have tacitly recognized tbe right, or at least, the inherent impulse of oholerio gentle meu to swear over tbe telephone. Sooial ethics, good taste and propriety deory tbe use of violent words either on or off the wire. But tbe law is the law, and in Missouri it is a statu tory privilege to curse" into tbe trans mitter in a "moderalo degree." Unfortuuately tbe human animal is not naturally a tranquil creature. Time, Sunday sohools and the sooiety of womankind have taught the aver age mau to play at being civilized by koeping tbe run filer on bis conversa tion to keep I'ack bis thoughts wben tbey are not pretty or polite. And the conversation of tbe average man has been so porsistently expurgated that it is fit for reproduction flftyflve minutes out of the hour. Every gen eration helps to purge the language. Thore is less swearing today than a century ago. And if it were not for tbe telephone, onrsiug, as a resort of passion, would be almost obsolete. Many communities spend large sums every year for tbe capture and punish uieut of orimiuais, while at tbo same time tbey encourage people to become criminals by allowing vioe and tbe feeders of vioe to ilourisb nnmolnuted. That this is trne is evident to all who have seen some of the vioious and in deoaut attraotious whioh abouud in many amusement parks and pleasure resorts.

Great Closing Out Sale of Harvest Dishes The oalm surf aoe of bistorioal soci eties, patriotic orders and genealogical fellowships baa keen agitated of late by a story to whiob tbe New York Sun gave oitoulation. In f aot there has beeu something approaching a panio in the rauks of those to whom tbe conservation of tbe early traditions and historio interests of Amerioa seems especially important. Tbe dis turbing rumor was to tbe effect that Plymouth rock is being submitted to horrible iudignities. Half of it, a correspondent of the Sun said, had been shoved under a coal shed. Tbe Japanese courts have just sent enced to vatying terms of imprison ment some twenty members of parlia ment who were found guilty of aooept iug bribes from the Japanese sugar trust. If a similar celerity is shown in this country in convicting gnilty members of tbe Amerioan sugar trust, especially the "men higher up," very general satisfaction will be felt.

EDUCATION AT MODERATE COST. The Y. W. C. A. of the Lewiston State Normal School has just issued a circular explaining how it is possible for young men and women who are without flnanoial means to attend the Normal Sobool at little or no expense to themselves. Naturally, the expenses "of each individual student vary more or less, but ordinarily, the expenses for nine months, including board and room, laundry, books and stationery, gymnasium suits and fltnrlnnta tana nhnnf- -T " 1 1 Residents of Idaho are not required to pay tuition. To meet the needs of those vonng people who are thoroughly in earnest and ambitious, and yet who are with out the neoessary funds, tbe Y. W. G. A. of tbe Lewiston Normal has organized a students' self-help com mittee.. It is tbe purpose of this oom mittee to assist deserving students to secure work. During tbe past year, and for several years, in fact, many young men and women have succeeded in working their way through sobool at Lewiston. It may be added that the demand for Normal students is always in exoess of the supply. Beginning with September 1, 1909, there will be also available for deser ving students three loan funds: tbe Columbian, Tsoeminioan and tbe Normal Sobool. Tbe Columbian club at Boise offers to students of Idaho who present sufficient credentials as to obaraoter and evidence of need, a loan of $100. This sum must be paid in installments of at least $5 a month after the reoipient has secured regular employment. The Tsoeminioan Fund has recently been established by the Tsoeminioan Club of Lewiston. The Normal School Loan Fund is larger than either of the other two, atd in the fall of 1909 will probably total $2,000. Deserving studeuts may draw upon this fund, paying a low interest, with tbe understanding that the prinoipal be repaid upon the re cipient's reoeiving employment. Undoubtedly, there will be a great number of young men and women who will thus be enabled to obtain an education at the Lewiston Normal who otherwise wonld be deprived of tbe opportunity.
