The capital of Oregon is at Salem. Tlie state
penitentiary is also at Salem. Some people'
have wondered why the two were located in
the same city, hut the reason is very plain to
most of us. Be that as it may, last Tuesday
night we saw Ilassell's
Honor System pictures and heard him
The Best. lecture about the peniten
tiary and we believe that
we know nearly as much about the place as
some of our Salem and Portland friends, for
whom, we are told, the institution must have
been built.
Ilassell was at one time "closely allied"
with the prison and he is now going through
the country educating the people in the ways
of handling state offenders, many of which
are the relics of barbarism which we have
failed to throw off. And this to a degree,let
us add, that he has never had to call upon
any of his "alma mater" for help.
In a talk with him, he said that Oregon was
in the lead in prison reform under Warden
Lawson. This is surely a sign of progress.
Allen 1'inkerton, whoso business it is to catch
professional lawbreakers was once asked
"What's the difference between criminals
and other folks?" "There is no difference,"
ho replied. With kind treatment and fair
dealing a ready response is found in the con
vict's heart. Warden Lawson is no fool, nor
are the convicts. If you place confidence in
the men, they will rise to the occasion. Like
begets like and this is true in prison work.
The Dark Ages were the days before the hon
or system in penal institutions.

Back in Clinton, Iowa, we notice by an
Iowa paper, a bible conference is being held.
Pastor Kussel is the main figure and nearly
three thousand delegates are assembled, all
laboring under the belief that the world is
about to come to an end. The harvest is at
hand, not only the wheat
End of the World harvest but the harvest
Here Again? of men. They assert
that the Jews lived 1845
years and then Jerusalem fell, and about the
same number of years have passed since and
something else is about to fall. The unrest
of the world, from China to Peru, social, poli
tical, and financial, is an indication of the
changes that will be tremendous.
These good people are sincere in their be
lief, but the rest of us need not be alarmed.
The fall of Jerusalem is but a fly speck in
the history ol the world. This world was
revolving for countless millions of years be
lore the disturbance in the Jewish world oc
curred. Two years ago the skull of a Sus
sex man was discovered in the south of Eng
land which anthropologists claim lived 400,-
000 years ago. God was not running the wor
for the Jews when Jerusalem fell, and he is
not runnng it for any particular sect today
The Milleritcs used to sit on t heir barn roofs
waiting for the coining of the end, but the end
never came and the Milleritcs died natural
deaths. Let no man prepare to wind up his
alairs thinking that the at lairs of this eartl
are about to be entered, balanced, and wount
up, but let him live and do his share of this
world's work so that he can, as Brvnnt savs
wind his mantle about him and lie down to
pleasant dreams.

If the newspapers have told the truth, things

citizens of the Unite
States and vote in the
American elections. The
people have made great progress since thev
were liberated by the Spanish-American war
but they have little comprehension of the;
needs of this country and could not cast an in
telligent vote. Besides, this would be an en
tering wedge for all insular possessions for
participation in our affairs. We favor keep
ing th1 voting rights on the mainland, where
we have a more homogeneous people.

Prime steers have been selling for six and se
ven cent a pound in Portland this week. In
New York, plain or round steak lias been sell
ing fr forty cents a pound. Just why then
should be such a grent
The Price Of Beef difference between the
In Two Places cost and selling prices,
we don't know. It can
not be in the loss in killing as the by-product
more than pay the slaughtering charg
es. Transportation charges are not high and
the railroads are clamoring for an additional
live per cent raise now. Considerable of the
profit goes into the pockets of the beef (rust.
It is claimed that cattle shipped in from Ar
gentine and other countries never compete
with the native stock and has little influence
in regulating the price. We can do without
meat in hot weather but we fear some of our
friends in New York will be vegcterians this
winter.
Emerson once said, "I have never seen a
Man." What he meant was, ho had never
seen a perfect man. He had seen men who
were either diseased or afflicted with some
mndicap that took off points on the score
card. It is true that we occasionally hear
something about keeping
Surely, The Time . . well. At this time of the
Will Come. year we hear a little a-
bout the "Fresh Air
fund." A little later on we will hear "Better
Babies" discussed. But the truth of the mat
ter is, we have been spending millions of dol-
ars disseminating knowledge concerning the
raising of stock and the improvements in and
upon the land, but have neglected the main
function of the state the making of better
citizens. Ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri was once
accused of wanting to destroy the horse in
dustry of Missouri when he vetoed a bill al-
owing betting on races courses. He said he
thought that the rising of better citizens was
of more concern to the state of Missouri than
the raising of fast horses.
Surely the time will come when men and
women who devote their efforts to improve
the standard of our citizenship will be class
ed with Luther Burbank and Perry G. Hold
en. Yes, we have been improving the breeds
of cattle and horses but the perfect type of
man still lingers on the skyline lost in the
twilight zone of romance.
o
No Printers in Joliet
Looking through the Typographical Journal
we noted the following article:
"After deciding to publish a paper in the
Illinois state penitentiary at Joliet, to be edited
by the convicts, the prison officials were some
what surprised not to say embarassed to
find that there was not a single printer among
the 1500 inmates. There were fifty bankers."
It is also said that the George and Gip and
Red the Rip were there and offered to Cover
Crime and get the Inside News. One of the
bankers was assigned the job of drawing the
Wall Street Review and a doctor to fix up some
Dope in the sporting lines. One millionaire
said that he had set 'em to sup and wine but
never a line o' type. But the main fellow, the
printer, was not there.
It looks like the inmates of the Joliet peni
tentiary will go without a paper, unless there
is some gross miscarriage of justice. In the
penitentiaries where papers are published the
printers are not detained there but hired em
ployees. Surely the printers have set the pro
fessions an example and have much worthy of
emulation.
