S the leaves fall from the trees when touched by frost .imi are scattered by the winds of autumn so do the oted men "clothed in a little brief authority.' printed leaves continually fall from the daily press and are 'scattered almost as quickly. A few horn's after their issue , they have disappeared as if by magic and the contents are as soon forgotten. The newspaper is the complex product of a complex civilization. It is the creation of many minds and many hands, and has grown to be a necessity of civilization. And yet this labor, except for the fleeting impress on many ininds which makes the press the most powerful of modem influences, aud'althougli it is the record of humanity for a dav, is lost to the world within a few hours after its pro duction, while the product of hands and brains of uncivil ized eras remains a -monument for centuries of a bygone age and a forgotten race to point a moral and adorn a tale. " Hence architecture is the most enduring of the works of man and one of the most important of the arts and sciences. Not-only it is an index to the civilization of the day but its products monuments for posterity. It ministers to' the material comfort, measures the culture of the age, and reflects the character and progress of the time that in spired its creation and the progress of architecture is the progress of humanity. It is only in the last few years that the northwest has paused long enough in its building of an empire to notice! its architecture. Structures arose as if by magic, hastily thrown together to answer the need of the hour, without thought of grace, symetry or beauty. However, having re alized these -shoutcoinings. the northwest is rapidly atoning for these deficiencies and in no section of the country is witnessing so great an improvement in the character of its buildings. Stately business blocks, mansions and bunga-, lows of artistic design now adorn every northwest city, measuring not only the growth, but the artistic develop- merit of the region. t , That architecture has now become an important j science in this section is proved by the issuance this mown of number one, volume one, of the Northwest Architect at Portland bv the publishing house of Mann and Beach. It is an exceedingly artistic and typographically perfect monthly periodical, devoted to architecture and its inter ests, profusely illustrated and itself proof of the existence flm hii?1r1vrs nf tho north- west.

A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE f , IN" Spokane there are three hundred men locked up in a schoolhouse converted into a jail, kept in a state of semi-starvation and otherwise brutally treated, for the "crime" of speaking on the public streets, in violation of a municipal ordinance. These prisoners are members of the Independent Workers of the "World, a labor union with socialist be liefs. Because they arc socialists, as many better men are, does not make them criminals, and the' have as much right to their beliefs as the get-rich-quick codfish aris tocracy of Spokane has to theirs. Since when is it a crime to speak on public streets? Where else is a poor man, who has no money to hire halls, to speak? Are not the streets the property of the peo ple? Is not the right of free speech a constitutional pro vision, and is not the action of the Spokane authorities unconstitutional and un-American in the extremp? Spokane's mayor and chief of police have made a big mistake by their short-sighted persecution. Instead of suppressing socialism, they have given it a great impetus. They have made martyrs of their victims and so strength ened the latter 's cause. They have proved that in Spokane there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. They have called the attention of the world to the inequality of the law. They have emphasized the grievances of the laboring man, and by their own violations of law have cre ated anarchists, for if anything would make a man an an archist it is to be treated as the Spokane prisoners have been treated. One of the principal charges against these men is that thoy are foreigners. Is that a crime? Have we not al ways boasted that America was a refuge for the down trodden and oppressed of Europe? And when they find the liberty they sought consists of persecution as bad or worse than that of Europe, it is small wonder they decry Old Glory and wave the red flag "Ain't ypu afraid to atay riway fron. school, Jobnnyr? -Not me.

W0UL3 FORM ALL NATIONS INTO ONE GOVERNMENT CHICAGO, Dec. C Cyrus II. .Street of Council Bluffs, la., edi tor of tho United Nations, launched his plan for universal peace at a mooting of tho Presbyterian minis ters of 'Chicago. Mr. Street's plan Is to form all nations of tho world into ono government tho United Nations of tho World. "War will ceaao," said Mr. Streot, "when all tho nations unite, to form an International government with tho power to make and execute universal lawH and enforco peace. At present tho nations aro afraid of 'tho other follow.' It Is reasonablo to suppose, thoroforo, that thero must bo perfect assurance that was never can occur before disarmament can take place."
