One Sherifl Knows His Duty.
“I consider it my duty, as the Sheriff of
Multnomah County, to see that the law
is enforced," so savs Sheriff Word. Soil
Word is a man ot his word, he will raid
Mayor Williams’ special privilege gam
bling joints with as much zeal as he has
raided the opium dens in Portland. 1» is
seldom that we hear of a sheriff, after he
has been elected to office, who considers
it is his duty to see that the laws are en
forced in regard to saloons, gambling
joints, places ot prostitution and opium
deus. We are glad to see that Word is
a man of his word and lie has closed all
the gambling houses in Portland,
and we hope sheriffs in other counties
will follow his example, and where they
fail to do their duty, it is to be hoped
that the public will proceed against them
and deprive them of their jobs, which can
easily be done.

Loss of Life by Accident.
Last year was a record year for great
accidents with large loss of life, but if
1904 goes on nt its present pace the 1903
record will be badly beaten. Theater
fires, steamboat and ocean ship fires,
railway collisions and mine explosions
have inflicted appalling calamities re-
I suiting in a great loss of life. A great
' accident such as the Chicago theater
i horror nowadays creates little or no
public opinion of sufficient endurance to
have any appreciable effect on the regu
lations covering public safety. Already
the theaters in Chicago are reported to
have evaded the theater ordinance, with
the help of an injunction from the courts. (
and there the matter rests. New York’s
steamboat fatality showed a most cul
pable negligence on the part ot the pas
sengers, yet who would predict any real
and lasting assurance of greater care in
the future? If we Americans were not
content to take so many chances, were
more conservative in such matters,
public action fixing the blame and pun
ishing the culprits would long ago have
put on the brakes. If, unfortunately,
any accident carrying great loss of life
should befall a meeting of our state or
national legislatures, bringing home to
the lawmakers themselves the scant
consideration fixing public safetv in
these busy davs, some remedy would be
applied immediately.
The rapid agricultural development
of Canada leads the Northwestern
Miller to remark that our northern
neighbor is destined to become a for
midable rival of the United States in
the exportation of grain, if it doesnot
take possession of the foreign market.
In the last three vears the wheat crop
of western Canada has increased four,
fold, having been 80,000,000 bushels in
1903, and it is estimated that the area
suitable for wheat embaces 43,000,000
acres. With this under cultivation, at
Manitoba's rate of production, the crop
should be over 800,000,000 bushels,
which is much more than the United
States produces. Besides wheat Canada
produces a considerable amount of oats
and barley.

County Officials Afraid of Loosing

Portland is a closed town. The almost
unprecedent feat of causing the public
gambling-houses to suspend operations
was accomplished by Sheriff Word Sat-
urday.
Contrary to what might have been
supposed bo casual observers of the vio.
lent efforts recently made by some offici
als and many insistent reformers, it was
not a difficult task. The sheriff merely
visited the various gambling-houscs and
gave a simple order to shut down the
games, saying be would raid any house
whose owners refused to obey the man
date.
Within the time it took the sheriff to
make the rounds of the different resorts,
the money and paraphernalia was put
away, the players and employes dismis
sed, and gambling was no more. It is
estimated that the closing Jof the games .
will throw 700 persons out of work. ’
