JULY 8. 1003 - '' rnr." "" 1 " ' "' DISCUSSION OF STRIKE MATTERS This U the period of dUcuaslon of Strike subjects. The American people t iA desirous of arriving at correct con clusions upon this mooted cueetibn. They wish to auk no mistake. The will do justice to the laboring tnaii They will do Justice to the employer. Justice to the one Involves no injustice to the other. That is the wonderful quality of Justice, that It gives to every man what he de serves, denies to all that to which they are not entitled. The Journal, new and hereafter, stands - far the rights of the workers. They have often been oppressed. They have often been downtrodden. They eed sympathy. They should have Jasttpe. The Journal has heretofore stood tor the laborers. It his championed their cause. It has de- fended them against the aspersions that . have been cast against them. At this time. When be strike matters : are quieter than they were a few weeks go, whan people are thinking deeply and When affairs are in a crucial state. It Is the intention of this paper to present both aides of this important subject It has space for the views of the employer, as well as for the laborer. It believes that there Is no conflict between the two, i - .... if justice rule. To consider the claims of both classes Is to stand in the attitude Just judge, who weighs the evidence of all witnesses, and renders his decision accordingly. The foundation of the argument must always be this: The laborer and the em ployer are co-ordinate, equal, comple mentary. Tho one needs the other. In duetry cannot proceed to production with out the 'cordial co-operation of the one with the other. It Is to harmonise the temporary dlf Terences that have arisen that The Jour nal strives., If it may contribute toward a satisfactory settlement, it will have realised Its ambition. THIS is the platform et this paper. AU editorial utterances, all matter that goes . oto the local columns la written by men Those sympathy Is with the laborers, and -ho also believe that only by the just recognition of the employers' claims can anal adjustment be attained. JFor brain and brawn 'of the Worker, for .rain and capital of the employer, for hem The Journal stands. . For them it rill stand in every situation that, conies the future. : HOW LONQ WILL OUR TIMBER . LAST? ' The Commercial Review, in Its annual number recently Issued, gives some figures , from the .pen of George JL Copwall, ed itor of the Columbia River and Oregon Titaberman, that furnish an interesting study of the question propounded in the caption of this article How long will our , Umber last? Were the lumber Industry to develop to no greater proportlone than those Of the present, the standing timber of Oregon would laaj 200 years. The article referred to does not go Into the future, but the data furnished thus by. the Commercial Review prompts the query and moves to some figuring. Ore gon has of standing timber, 234,03,000,000 , feet, bosrd measure. Washington, by tha way, prone to boast of its wonderful timber resources, has about half as much, 114.775.eOO,000 feet. During lixn, the mills of Oregon cut .600,000,000 feet. Let it be presumed that . the lumber milling industry stood at its present stage of development and , It is easy to figure that the timber stand Ins; would last for 2G0 years. - This, however, would be an illogical presumption, inasmuch as the lumbermen' are ' planning gigantic enterprises and jtaklng hold of the situation with an en ergy born of commercial necessities and ; the prospects , for profitable operations hers la' Oregon, touring the past year, .Eastern tlmbermen bought more than 140,000 acre of standing timber in this state, and at this time scores of men ' with ample capital are locking over the ground with a view to msking heavy purchases. - As a matter of fact, the lumber industry of Oregon Is tn only the Infant stage of development ' Paring the coming two or three years there will be enormous in-' crease la the quantity cut, and the pres ent 900,060,000 feet will Cppear email, in deed, when some of tie.' already-formed plans are, carried Into effect The experience of Oregon will be the experience of Minnesota and "Wisconsin and Michigan, whera but a tew years ago lumbermen figured that there was enough timber standing to supply the demand of the Middle West for half a century or more. Today, the lumberman of those states is cutting off told Stumps for shin gle butts, and there is practically no tim ber left , . That same Middle West is drawing upon the Pacific Coast for lumber, and foreign markets formerly supplied by those states are coming here to get their lumber. The truth Is that the lumberman, an inter ested party. Is Scarcely a sate guide as to the manner of handling the forests. He wants the Umber and he wants it now, and he therefore makes the with the fattier of the thought, and proceeds to de stroy the forests, the while quieting the alarm of the people by specious argu ments and illusory figures. No one can say Just how long the tim ber of Oregon will last but that it will not last 260 years goes without saying, and it is probably true that it will last" not longer than one or two generations. At any rate, the present trend in the lumber industry Insures that the day Is not very far in the future when the mountains of Oregon will be bare of trees, and then will have come great cli matic changes and alterations of the con ditions governing water distribution. " . ; WHEN SHALL WE BEGIN? President Roosevelt concedes the neces sity for contr oiling the trusts, yet coun sels moving slowly In the premises. The question that bothers most mortals Is, When shall the Nation begin controlling the trusts? Is It not essential that action be prompt. In order that the trusts shall not have the advantage of being formed and thoroughly organised, rendering it more difficult to dislodge them from their vantage points? When, indeed, shall the Nation begin? When shall the people rise in the spirit of outraged law-makers, and demand that the Federal statutes touching upon the matter shall be enforced? Governor Van Rant, of Minnesota, and Governor Mo Jfride, ot Washington, have said: We are the executives of our states; we swore to prcforce the law; we are not the legisla tive branch of the Government; we are, nevertheless, co-ordinate with the legisla tive, and cannot fail to carry out, the ex pressed will of the people, unless we be perjurers, who are recreant of every trust reposed in as. Upon this platform, stopping not to quibble over the questions of legal tech nicalities, seeing merely the statutes on the books, they proceeded to do their plain duty as they saw it, and declared that railroad corporations, be they never bo powerful, were not at liberty to violate the law with impunity. This Is the view that executives should take. To consider not too carefully the matter of the right or wrong of the law. to admit that they are not Interpreters of statutes or constitutions, this is the duty of executive officials. If their strict en forcement prove the law. to be irrational. ill-advised. Impractical,, then may the people repeal those objectionable laws. To the extent that President Roosevelt order the Federal legal department to proceed against the obviously illegal trusts, has he fulfilled his duty as a pub lic servant? To the extent that he hesitate and wait and permit the trusts to gain firmer, foothold, is he derelict of duty? There i the law. There is the alleged violator, mere is tne machinery pro vided for the law's enforcement There are the officials sworn to keep that ma. cntnery m motion. These elements are all that Is necessary to the carrying on of the Department of the Executive of the Government of the United States.;' Mis takes of, legislation shall be corrected by th,CengTV89, not by Presidents. 500,000 SLUM tpWELLERS. Has our' ' inodern civilisation,, failed when the King's charily dinner jfclJS? don fed 600,000 people who habitually have not enough to eat and scant garments to wear? The whole scheme of social dis cussion is wrapped up In this query, and the answer, of course, it is not easy to give. The cables told us that "500,000 of the slum dwellers" partook of the bounty of the good ICtng and Queen of England on Saturday. That means that 600,000 were not all of the slum dwellers In Lon don, the world's metropolis. There were others who did not eat at the charity tables. Probably more than LOW. 000 dwell In the slums there. This is too large a portion of London's total population to speak well for the at tainments of the present civilisation. It is too many of the poor and vicious in proportion to those of better living and more comfortable station. What is true of London is true in like proportion of other great cities, ' Every where these social problems press for set tlement Everywhere they puzzle , the thinking and alarm those who have con cern for the good of the race. There be two elemental propositions in this connection Part, of the . wretched ness of London's slums,; et any slums. Is due to conditions tha oaniiot be avoided by. the victims; part of It Is due to their own sin. But In either ease, there la rea son for solving the problem and altering conditions that make for such deplor ' ' . J ' " '.' -' vC ." : ; able revelations as half a million UnS fortunate from twice that number being fed at tables provided by i the charity of two rulers of a great nation. To cure the sin, to offer better Indus trial conditions, these are the prime de siderata. These must be done before there will be an avoidance of the neces sity to give annual dinners to those Who, left to themselves, would never see, even momentarily, the happier side ot life. DINED WITH HIS VALET. Some bright newspaper writer has given out an interesting bit of fiction, about' an English lord and lady coming over to America and, by a peculiar com bination of circumstances, dining with their valet The story runs that the valet was with the lord and lady on an ocean steamer; that the lord and lady kept within their staterooms, and the valet was back and forth, and therefore was taken for the English lord by an American family, and was invited to dine with them upon a certain evening soon after reaching these shores; that the English lord and lady also were guests, and that thus, by the mistake, they were Introduced to the valet upon a social level, and submitted gracefully to be presented to their servant. In or der to save the feelings of their hostess. Although there are all sorts ot improb abilities In the story, yet it furnishes a bssls for a study in sociology, which was apparently the intention of the writer. Granting that it be true, .then what of it? Was there aught of harm to the English nobility, in that they sat at table with a man who, by his man ner and looks, was able to Impress him self upon traveled people as a man of noble birth and pleasing social attain ments? Does it not demonstrate to a nicety that much of the value of what people call proper introductions by recog nized social mentors Is largely bosh? That people should stand upon their own merits? That perhaps some real Eng lish lords would have been less pleasant and fit guests than was this well be haved valet? That social worth, as we view It, is too much referred to whit home one else says of a given guest and not enough to what he himself may be rfble to contribute to the success of a so cial function by thiMerceief his own personality t06Uiint1 Mr.' So and Sof rVhy, I roet Thlm at Mrs. So and So's reception, and she her self Introduced him. He must be all right." Hence, this nondescript mortal secures the entree, and his credit Is all right at the bank of social favors. There Is a world of Interest In that fic titious story of he valet and" his social career in this country. There is much Jo causa the attache of the various so cial establishments to wonder after all if h be not a mere pensioner upon the charity of some accommodating hostess, and if he is, after all, giving to society something of value in return for the fa vors he receives. IMPROVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Our experience of the month Just passed most forcibly demonstrates the need of a fire-boat, of larger water mains and of a full-paid fire department. With ail these Improvements I know your hon orable body is in full sympathy, and with myself, I hope the time may come when means shall be available for the providing of them. , - An a matter of information I may say Portland is the only city of the Pacific Coast yet retaining the call system, or a part-paid fire department. San Francisco. Tscoma, Seattle and Spokane each have a full-paid fire department. Chief Dave Campbell thus writes In his annual report to the Board of Fire Commissioners. He states facts that have been patent to all observing per sons, and which warrant the allegations so often made against Portland that this city is not up to date. The part-paid fire department is known in progressive communities only among smaller towns, which cannot afford to employ a full-paid deoartment. and which must therefore make shift as best they may. Portland will find it profitable to correct these de fects in her Bervlce. It will operate to save money in the long run to those who own property, which means that money will be saved for all who labor here. Spokane, one-third as large as Port land, has a better department because the -city government provides the means whereby the men may efficiently fight the fire demon. The man who says that the spirit .of 1902 Is the spirit of 1776, is talking bosh to the people. The spirit of 1776 was that Of men who lcoked fearfully yet bravely Into a futurei that held many mysteries, and of which no power hud given an intimation as. tt what would be the outcome of the experiment that was to be tried by the colonies, as they launched a new ehlp of state, and sailed by new charts and ac cording to new principles of governmental navigation. The spirit of 1902 is that of men Who view demonstrated success of the experiment; who belong to a nation that has grown to be the greatest In the world; who have witnessed the recogni tion of a power that did not exist in 1776. The spirit of 1776 is not the spirit of 1901 It is bosh to talk ot it. In a dance ball during the early years of the West was a slgnr "Don't shoot the organist. She Is doing the best she can." This sign should be. tacked up on the bleachers of the horn baseball team. Be merciful, and charitable, Who has heard lately of the proposition to secure recognition of some ot the rights ot bridge traffic over the river and ocean steamers In the matter of the opening of tha, draw? The other (Say, with an un. juspiyV ftcavr rush of people, street cars and tfehlclea,1' one ot the draws was swung open ijust 15 minutes before the steamer passed through the bridge. It was a waste of 15 minutes each" for several hundred people, or aa aggregate of perhaps an hundred hours, nd It did no good to the steamer that caused the too early open ing of the draw. Perhaps Portland snay yet have to revolt against the tyranny at the water craft over the land lubbers. Where Is Washington's boasted great ness of timber, when the figures show that the average stand of board measure lumber, per square mile, for the wooded area is 4.oD.000 in Oregon, and 2.400,000 In Washington,' and that the total wooded area of Oregon is M,S0O square miles, and of Washington 47,700, with a total stand of timber In Oregon of 234,653,000,000 feet and in Washington of 114.778,000,000? Has Washington been giving the world some warm air? Postponement of the Bt Louis Exposi tion one year to 1804, will operate to the advantage of the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial. Foreign nations having exhibits at St. Louis will remove them to Portland, and attractions there will be available here. Proximity of the two fairs will not be disadvantageous, for they will not be antagonistic, nor will they draw from the same sources for the greater part ot their patronage. Application of abstract law to concrete conditions is at .best but a compromise. One offender is punished, while another goes scot free. And however ofliclala may begin to enforce strictly the statutes and ordinances, not all will be enforced. Some Will is always be violated, and there will be consent to their violation. ' THE LACY DRAPES. The large white lace veils, draping the hats and falling over the hair at the back remind one of the Spanish hats af fected by Empress Eugenie in the days of her splendor. , It seems quite the vogue of the spring and! summer hats to show a something hanging down the hair at the back. GINGERBREAD NUTS. To make gingerbread nuts take half a pound, of butter and rub Into one and a half pounds of flour, half a pound ot sug ar and three-quarters of an ounce of fine powdered ginger. Mix well with 10 ounces of treacle; then make Into a stiff paste. ,Drop in but tons on baking tins and bake 'in moder ate oven.

A DRINKING SET OF COPPER. Stunning, is a set for beer, cider, or what you will. The big coverless steins and flagon are of copper, with silver trim mings. There is stiver about the han dles, used with dignity as massive ves sels of this kind require, and steins and flagons each fastened with silver .nails to thin round spheres of black oak. The tray is alsd of wood with a copper edge, silver trimmed. FOR THE TEA TABLE. Tea Cake. Beat three eggs, add two teacupfuls of sugar, a teacupful of but ter, a teacupful of thick sour cream, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved In a table spoonful of warm water, a tahlespoonful each of ground cinnamon and Winger, five teacupfuls of sifted flour, or sufficient to make a soft dough. Shape with a smalt cooky cutter; when done brush with white of egg and sprinkle with sugar. A WORD TO 0 SHEA. (To The Journal.) A Mr. W. W.

Aren't we having the most changeable weather Imcginabte? Last week we want ed , to take off our flesh and sit in our booea, and now we're on the verge of digging out our furs that have been so carefully tucked away la moth balls and camphor that almost smell you out of house and home. It does seem whiter will sever get done lingering in the lap of spring. Welt any way, when summer did . come, and will come again, let us - hope it will "linger longer, Lucy," and not bring with. It all its environments, for freckles will come, too, and be a source ot great annoyance to countless women 'at this season of the year, whose only thought is the complex ion; but pshaw! what do they amount to, anyway? Absolutely nothing, and if It's any consolation, you must know just now that little oval brown spots on the face (as some people call them) are quite the proper caper; but you don't need to have them, for there are loads of lotions that will eradicate all blemishes of that sort and make one's face like unto the bloom of youth. Then fly, dear girls, and have your faces changed. Try bichloride of mer cury (in coarse powder), 12 grains. In one pint of water; mix the two together un til a complete solution is obtained, add one ounce of glycerine; apply once or twice a day. But, meanwhile, don't for- get that bichloride of mercury is a very dangerous poison. Some one asked me the' other day how to prevent wrinkles, saying her face looked like the map of the United States. Wrinkles don't you hate the very name? The best and only way I know ot Is1 to stop. worrying. When they do come, mas saging and steaming the' face will do much to do away with them. Give your fare an hour's attention morning and evening. After a good steaming use a little almond cream, rubbing It In well. Always rub the lines up and out never down, else you will have a. million. WOMEN AT A BALL GAME. Our Portland boys didn't do a thing to the Eeattlettes Sunday. They have played In hard line all during the sea son; but. Just the same, they're all right, and came out With flying colors far in the lead Saturday amidst shouts and yells that quite put our Fourth of July noisiness in the shade. 'Twas very amus ing for a time, to say nothing of the startling effect it had upon the women In the crowd. When there arose a dispute about one man being put out for my part I '-was breathless for, with the squabbling going on like so many files after a lump of sugar, and the wild ges tures and juggling of bats, I could read ily see that poor umpire's finish. All the women about, me either pulled their bangs or bit their nails. For a few min utes the situation seemed appalling. Fi nally peace was restored, and every man to his post I came home to the bosom ot the family much disfigured, but still In the ring. . - PEOPLE WD KNOW.
