Report of the comuiitBeo on reso'utions A very mean feature of tbe strike plan is tbe euort always made to prevent other men from filling tbe poaitiona va catod. This is wrong, and la a matter the atate government should fettle in a way to leave no doubt aa to the right of men to work without interference from anyone. Tbe big papera fill their field but the local newspaper is as much a neoessity, Life in a town without a paper is worse tban living in the Sahara desert. Re cently a man who has lived here for years boaated that he bad never taken an Albany paper. Instead of that be should take both of them. People who believe in supporting borne inetitutione should Bland by the home local paper first and then take as many outside pa pers as they can afford. All home insti tutions deBerve eupporl, none more than the local papers. It is well for those who wish support of home institutions on their part to be consistent. Satui day Nlghi Thoughts. Probably tbe strike in Pennsylvania continues to attract more attention tban anything else ia tbe United States, and tbe interest in it continues as winter ap proaches and the supply of coal remains ow and tbe price jumps higher. Tbe more lbs matter is studied tbe more It becomes apparent that tbe strike could aaaily be ended if the coal magnates would do wbat is right. People wbo jump at conclusions and condemn tbe uiners for everything ahould study tbe situation closer. Tbe miner has been made to mine as high as 3400 pounds for a ton and almoat universally as high aa 2700 pounda on differerent excuseai charged to waste etc. Can be be blamed tor demaBding a legal ton? Other com plaints are juBt bb plain, traceable to tbe one-sidednesa of tbe trust magnate. On tbe other hand one just complaint stands out against tbe miner: he has no right to prevent others from working in hiB place and the'force be oseB to prevent it is unjust and emphatically wrong and ahould be stopped in all eventa. A Hard Problem. From the World. Timothy Murray, 'longshoreman, oame home drunk tbe other night. He abused hiB five little children. ' Hie wife remon strated. He beat ber into Insensibility. Justice Holbrook in sentencing him yes terday eald : We bave no use for brutes like you Tbe sentence of the court le that you be confined iu tbe penitentiary for one year and that you pav a fine of $280. In da fault ol paying the flue you will serve a dav In prison lor each dollar. That this sentence waa well deserved hone will dispute. But meanwhile wha ot tbe wife? Five little children are look ing to ber for food. The landlord must, have bta rent. There will be no money coming In from tbe husband. She alone must support the family, Vrobablylshe will bo unable to doit. Then they wil1 be turned into the etreelB and the child ran will be sent to institutions. Tbls is an old problem. It might and it tisbt to be solved. Tbere should be Borne other way. Instead ot sending the wlfe-beater to prison he might be com' polled to work, and his wages should be paid to some responsible person wbo wonld see that it went to bia wile and Children. Imprisonment fcr wile heaters Is all too inadequate, and is too oftou in the nature of added puulslinicnt to the wife. San Francisco Call. Hero ia a esse reportod from the pro ceedings ol a London court which makes jest and fictlou look pale. Tho prisoner at the bar was charged with having aban. doned bis chllureu, and he pleaded that ho bad to many he could not support Uiem. Tbe evidence brought out the faot that by hie first wu'e he had eixtee 11 children and by his second wife twenty. The second wife on tbe witness stand tes tified that she thought abe hd only eighteen, but admitted there were so many bo many sho could not be sure. Enterprising American towns longiog for on Increase of population had better tend lor tbat man A Special Train Will Run. Ou Wednesday, Oct. 15 a good many will, go from Albany ou the noon tra n, to the dedication ol the new O. A. C hall. In ordor to accomodate thoin a special Irain will return at about 6:30 attor the service. A tpeccial round trip rato will ln givon. There will also be a apodal train Iroin Portland on the woet tide, The New Vork World, a leading dem ocrutic paper takes a Btrong position against the plank in tho democratic plat' form of Now York etato, which reads "Wo advocate the national ownership and operation of the anthracite coal mines by the exercise of the right of em inent domain." It declares that this not leffersonian democracy, as it does not give to the individual the largest rightB consistent witb tbe rights of others. It claims that tbe federal gov ernment cannot enter a state and eieze property worth millions, that tbe mines are state Institutions and under the laws of tbe atate. Tina la being appreciated evn by the President, wbo has so far acted only in a persona1 way, The atate troopa are the ones called out. Then if placed under federal control the mines would be run by by the politicians of the Matt Quay atripe who would seek to control tbe entire vote of Ihe 250,000 mi nera or thejstate. Not much Jefferson ian democracy in that, the World de clare!. "iiliinslntmhtcr by Automobile.1 Fromthe World. Both In Connecticut and New' Jersey tbe principle that it ia manalanghter to kill a person by an automobile driven at illegal epeed baa now been announced from tbe bench. In the former State Herbert Marble, of this city, and Harold Du Puy, a Yale student, must stand trial in New Haven ; in the later H. L. Blum and Christopher Johnson have just been indicted by the Bergen County Graud Jury, Those indiotmenlB bave brought forth many protests. President Boat wick of tbe Automobile Club objects: I don't see bow It ia posalnlo to hold the chauffeur for manslaughter because hie automobile kills some one. No one can imagine any sane man flying along the highway at suoh a rate that he cannot oontrol his machine. So it would seem, and yet that ia just what men .'presumably sane are doing every day. Again, Mr. Owen, an auto- race winner, says: l'veuevor hit any one yet, though I bave had several close calls. And why, do you suppose 7 Becauaa people cross ing the street suddenly jumped out ol i saie place uacic ana almost- under my maohlue, We bear a great outcry about reckless chafleurs, bnt none about tbe oentribntory negligence of pedestrians. Such utterances reveal a niisconcop tlon oi tbe law which the charge of Jus tice Dixon, of Bergen Connty, should re move. In tbe Blum esse the victim, Richard Benches, was not even in th road ; bia borae waa frightened by Blum's automobile while attached to a lawn- mewing maohine. Yet Justice Dixon says that If the automobile waa being run at unusual or unlawful epeed, and thereby caused the death of tUnehee, It was manslaughter. Mr. Owen's view ol bia responsibility as a "chauffeur" is grotesque. The ''sodden jump' compelled by a pedes trians nerves when be finds an automo bile close upon him without warning is not "contributory negligence." Tbe Oregon papers are saying a good deal about tbe aporopriation to be asked for the Lewis and Clark exposition. Some of tb.9 papers jump wildly in the dark and in a spirit of loyalty to Oregon demand that everything asked be grant ed. The Democrat is in favor of the ex position, and of making an appropriation, but believer in tbiB as in everything, to look before one leapB. We should ap propriate only such a earn as ia consist ent with our population, wealth and present situation. If a liberal appro priation is made some of the grafts that exist on the booka should be drop ped aa much bo that the total appropria tion shall not be increased materially. If tbie IB not done tbe next legislature wilt bear irom tbe people. It would be only just to permit the people of tbe state to vote ion the question. Tbe powerB that be, though, will not perm!1 this, count on that. Tbe general eenti men i seems to Da in iavor oi an appro priation ot about $100,000, which, of course, will not Buit the people of Port- and, but it is about as much aa the atate can afford, without a big reduction 'n other tbinga to make up for an in crease . - Tbe opening of Albany's new opera bouse bae'been an affair of much local intereBt. The city for several years baa been sadly in need of a pnblic building of this character, not alone ae a place of amusement, but ae well, for a large number of publio gatherings, such aa Btate conventions, etc., and a city is far behind tbe times without one. We are fortunate 'n having a Btruoture that in architecture and arrangement is a credit to the city, and will probably satiety the needs in oapaclty for several years. Forest Fires. The following was suggested by tbe recent forest fires in Oregon and. Wash ington: According to the Forestry Bureau'e records, tbe moat disastrous forest fire in tbe history of this coantry occurred in October, 1871. simultaneous with tbe burning of Chicago, It extended all acrosa northern Michigan and Wisconsin and into Minnesota. At least 1,000 persons were burned to death and 15.000 weie made homeless, Tbe property loss bte never been calculated. Tbe Hinck ley fire of 1894, wbicb destroyed Hinck ley and five other Minnesota villages, burned to death 418 peraonB, destroyed (750,000 worth ol larm and town proper ty, and about 400 square miles of forest A fire :n southeast Michigan in 1881 burned tbe forest on 48 townships, de stroyed $2,000,000 wor'h of other prop erty, burned to death lv!5 persons and made homeless 5,000. Another Michi gan forest fire, wbicb occurred in 1896 made homeless 2,000 persona and de- atroved town and farm property worth $1,250,000. Wisconsin lost, by fire in May, 1891, 100 Equare miles of forest and other property worth $2,000,000. In 1894, in Wisconsin, 13 perBOns lost their lives and 3,000 their homes, and $2,000,- uuu worth oi town and farm' nronertv was destroyed in tbe Phillips fire. The enumeration of great for eat fires could be extended almost indefinitely. One feature, however, ia common to tbem all : Tbey were small fires before they grew uncontrollable, and with little trouble might have been extinguished. For example, tbe Hinckley fire emoked as a ground fire for weeks and nobody paid it serious attention. But one day the wind rose and fanned the smoulder ing embere into flame, tbe flame caught in the dry underbrush, leaped into the treat! unu necame a nre ot bo terrible a volume. that no human power could stay it. Legislation, even in tbe East, baa done little toward solving the forest fire prob lem, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Mas sachusetts, and New Hork are possible exceptions. The best forest-fire lawa are probably those of Pennsylvania, which makes an annual expenditure of $15,000 in support of them. State con BtableB serve ae fire wartfena in their townahipa and receive extra p0y for their services. Minnesota, brought to a sense of responsibility by disasters, of which tbe Hinckley fire was tbe most terrible, has established an efficient forest-fire system. Massachusetts has bad good legislation in the matter. Tbe Now York forest-fire laws, though gen erally limited in their effect to State re serve and parks, have brought good suite. SATURDAY.

A Los Angeles man, in Portland this week, said: "Oregon ia tbe prettiest country unaer tne eun." Pretty good to come irom a lob Angeles man. The good roads convention to be held in Portland next Tuesday and Wednes day deserves tbe attention of tbe entire Btate. iiut, perbapa it is easier to talk tnan act good roads. In 18S4 Theodore Roosevelt, then an independent republican and Mugwump, went to the Ohioago national convention and labored bard to prevent the nomina tion of James G. Blaine for President, arguing that nis record wonld defeat him and that it ought to defeat him. Tbe result in November tbat year proved tbat Mr, Roosevelt was at least correct in his prediction as to bow tbe vote wonld s'and.
