In Popular Science Monthly , for
Mareh, A., Lapt horn Smith of Montreal,
discusses the subject of "Higher Edu
ration and Eac'e Suicide" in a brief
lut ery utrftiiie article, telling
therein tome few truths plainly, yet
some that should b instilled into the
minds and heart of the people of the
present day. . " . .
Referring to the fact that education
al development has Teaehed the present
high point and that there seems little
room for any farther development, the
writer says that at , first eight this
would seem to be a very satisfactory
state of affairs; and to the ordinary ob
server the question of still higher el
neat ion would seem to be deserving of
all praiee. However, he calls attention
to a danger,, gradually ; arising, yet
steadily increasing.. : s
unfortunately the prudery of the
American people makes impossible the
plain speech which should be spoken
to them, yet every . man t ' and woman
should read Dr. Smith's artiele. He
says the condition in itself will bring
abDt 'evoInti.on'.'li, of W
" 'uy wponing to oe seen, au
I which will eventnallv nut an end to all
He questions very materially the ad
visability of affording higher clucation
freely to the oeople at large, to the
male as well as to the female sex. lie
says that in the human raee there is
constantly the struggle for existence
not only of the particular individual
but for that of his progeny, because
"when the individual is wiped out, only
one person disappears, but when his
m mm'
progeny eeases to exist, an end is put
to countless thousands unborn." He
declares that higher education of wo
men is surely extinguishing her race,
both directly by its effect on her or
ganization, and indirectly by rendering
early marriage impossible for the av
erage man. He claims that brain de
velopment is a decided barrier against
the proper performance of the duties of
wifehood and motherhood.
The highly educated woman seems to
know that she will make a poor mother,
for she marries late, at all, and ber
family is always small. However, his
greatest argument in this particular
case is that the higher education make
the woman demand so much in and of
her husband that men can illy afford
to take upon tbcmsel-es the responsi
bility of a home until a large income
in a financial way be assured. The re
sult i that when, the time docs come
that the two may marry, the man and
the woman have reached the stage
where they are not improperly called
"old bachelors and old maids."
(Here the writer uses the words of Dr.
Smith.)
Then, again, he takes up the question
of health and asks if the health of wo-,
men is wora than it was in the time
of our grandmothers and are the duties
of wifehood ami motherhood harder to
bear than they were one hundred years
ago and he answer both "questions by
sayiag "yes. " Most of the causes, he
claim, are found in the late marriages
of tbdav. And he claims further that
t is largely due to over education,
"which first deprives them of sunlight
and fresh air for the greater part of
their time; second, it takes every drop
of blood away to the brain, from the
growing organs of the body; third, Je
rri ops tbir nervous system at the ex
pense of all otber. systems, muscular,
digestive, generative, etc.; fourth, leads
them to lire an abnormal xingle life,
until the age of 2G or 27, instead of be
ing married at 18, which is the latest
that nature meant them to remain sin
gle; fifth, raises their requirements so
high that they cannot marry a young
mau in good health."
Another point which he raises, and
whir h really has a very important
bearing is that the very essence of cul
tivation of intellect to its highest point
consists of raising the standard of one's
requrements, thus making one discon
tent with the present, and ever struggle
towards -a higher ideal in the future.
The woman versed in art and literature
is not content with a simple home, nor
to msry an average man who is able to
supply her with simply the necessaries
of life, but who has not sufficient
wealth to provide those things that
wonld be naejesa Jnxsiics te the woman
of lesser education, but which to the
woman of art and literature are abso
lute necessities. ,' .
Another point he makes is early mar
riage of a young man to a woman with
sound body and youth, is almost if not
the "only iricans of preserving the virtue
of the rising generation of men. The
woman who marries a man of whom it
is said,.. ho' has sown his wild oats,'
must expect to help him reap the har
vest, fan anyone deny that the causes
for the increase of divorce come largely
from the late marriage of the present
day, a marriage occurring after, both
the man and the woman have become so
set in their ways, that that moulding
of on into the other, which is so nc
eosary to a perfect life, is made impos
sibJe. Again he calls to mind,;the fact
that higher education brings-'to the av
erage person" a sort of introspection,
which faculty is soon carried so far that

. Too much stress cannot be placed
oa the great ralue of Cnticnra Soap,

fluids, thus affording pure, sweet, and

treatment for weakening ulcerations,
inflammations, itching, irritations,

irregularities peculiar to females.
Hence the Cnticnra remedies hare a
wonderful influence in restoring
health, strength, and beauty to weary
women, who have been prematurely
' aged and invalided by these distress
ing ailments, as well as such sympa

hysteria, and nerrousness.
Women from the very first have
fully appreciated the purity sad sweet

1 Dr. 8mith refers, to the gradual dis
appcrance of the" home, which, says he,
"any thoughtful observer must de
plore." and this, he says, is to a large
extent a result of discontentment of
the educated woman.
He adds, ""what about the men!
While the higher education prevents
the women from being good wives and
mothers, will it not prevent the men
from being good husbands and fathcTsf
To some extent it does, and in so fsr
it is a misfortune. But to a mnch
less extent than among the women for
the simple reason that the man's high
intellectual training enables him to win

brute -force. But nature tKinisbes the

MOBE MONEY , AND LABOR, LESS

A Willamette VaDey Commercial
Clubs convention i to be held at Sa

ods of advancing the interests of the
state. Oregon must not be too long in
getting over the talking stage. TE?
people generally understand just what
Oregon needs to promote the pubhs
welfare, and all that remains to be
done is to get in and do the things
that we have , long since decided are
necessary. The time for "talkfests"
is past unless we follow each one np
with a "workfest." "By their works
ve shall know them." Talk without
work is dead. It takes money and la
bor to boild a greater Oregon. Words
never built anything beyond a reputa
tion for the talker. Eugene Register.
The 'Register is right., "Talk is
cheap, but it" takes money to buy
whisky" is-a homelv way the earlv
frontiersmen had , of putting the mat
tor. This year offers Oregon the
greatest opportunities ever hers to do
something to promote the public wel
farc, to advance the state on the fur
ther road; to prosperity.; V
The eoavention called to meet here
on" the 23d will be called 'on to discuss
many matters of peculiar interest to
the Willamette Talley especially, yet
equally to the interest of the. entire
state, as it will have to do with such
mrojects as will tend to' bring more
people into the; state. It is whe and
proper that this convention be held in
Hfilcm, and that the valley delegates
here agree on a line of .work to pre
sent to. the State League at Portland.

PORTLAND, March 7. The Lewis
and Clark Exposition will be a world's
fair in every sense, but will be intend
ed, primarily, 'to show the world the
greatness of the Pacific Northwest.
And there will be plenty to show the
world. If the fair management eon
fined its efforts to securing displays of
Western products, and exhibits intend
ed to show the progress of his great
Pacific Northwest, the exposition would
have more to interest most people than
any other world's fair; when to such a
display is added the choicest collections
of exhibits from every nook and corner j
of the globe, and from almost every'
state in the Union, the aggregate will
be bewildering. And vet the whole will
be more easily seen and comprehende;
than ' was the . aggregate at St. Louis
for onl what proved interesting and
profitable at the 1904 fair will be dig
played in. iLM)5.
The event which the exposition is to
celebrate is in keeping with the nature
of the exposition; perhaps it would be
better to say that the. nature of the ex
position is in keeping with the charac

yield of wheat, rye, oats, corn and
harlev the staple gTains has increas
ed from less than 300,000 bushels to
over sixty-five million bnsbels; it
hop yield from eight pounds to over
three million pound: Us livestock val
ue from less than two million dollars
to over eighty-three million uolars; its
foreign ' commerce from practically
nothing to over forty million dollars an
nually. And these are examples selee
ted at random. A visit to the country
would convince any one that, far from
painting the picture too vividly, the
figures fail to do justice to its wonder
ful resources. '
; The Oregon Countrv is still but
sparsely populated, as compared with
the regions east and middle west, and
the people of the Pacific Northwest are
anxious to attract settlers to their
country. With a view to securing in
habitants of their own race and blood,
rather than ignorant and penniless em
tgrants. the various communities wiu
make displays of their resources at the
fair.. The visitor to. the Iewis and
Clark Exposition may thus for eompar
attvely small cost stud v 'the natural
advantages of almost everv part of the
great Northwest, and gain information
whieh it would require months of time
nd a great expenditure of money to
acquire in an v other way.
Oregon has made an appropriation
of io0,M"0 for the exposition, the, sura
beinir irreater than any ever before
voted for a similar purpose by a state
of so small a pOnulation. and represent-
im almost a dollar for every man, wo
man and child within its boundaries.
The forestry building at the exposition
built after the manner of . a gigantic
log palace, is an eloquent tribute to
the' forest wealth of the state. The
building, which is now completed, has
attracted a great deal of attention, es
pecially from people of the East and
Middle West, wlio have been astonished
to leara' that .Oregon timber grew so
lar-je and fine. Within the building
will Le'iyplayed a complete exhibit of
Oregon-woods, together with a display
of the finished products of the Oregon
sawj mill?. ;. . - - .
The Oregon state display will show
in i xrncral way the resources 0f the
ixjKHifn state, and almost every
county in the tdate will have an ex
hibit which will show its particular ad
vantages over other counties. One en-
erpnsisg county. Coos, will have a
buildin. f its own. which will cif I
10,000.! The buibUns will be construc
ted entirely of t'oos county woods, and
will be in itself a comprehensive ex
hibit of the resources of "this enterpris
ing county. The other counties of Ore
gon will have displays which, while not
so ostentatious, will bo almost as cost

ly, and which will enable one to get
a clear idea of the natural advantages
which each of them possesses. There
will be, in addition, exhibits from many
counties in Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and California, and
competent representatives, in charge of
each, will explain the meanings of the
exhibits and the advantages which hit
particular community offers to settleri.
The agricultural resources of the
Pacific Northwest will be shown in a
manner entirely unique. Whereas for
mer expositions have made great show
ings of prize pumpkins stackeu in yel
low heaps, strawberries spread out in
plates, and monster eara of corn and
heads of grain tied in blue ribbons, the
Lewis and Clark Exposition will show
visitors Western products as they actu
ally grow. In a small canyon, formerly
used by thrifty Chinamen as a truck
garden," a model farm has been laid out,
and here forage plants, grains, vegeta
bles, flowers and fruit trees will grow
side by side.
The mines nnd metallurgy building
will bouse the most complete display of
mineral products of the Northwest ev
er gathered for an exposition. The
Montana mineral exhibit at St. -Louis,
which attracted great attention at the
1904 fair will be shipped to Portland,
and will be supplemented y an addi
tional display gathered especially for
the occasion. The wealth of the East
ern Oregon gold ' mines, wbk'h has of
recent years proved of great commer
cial importance, will be shown by a
comprehensive display of specimens.
Features of the mining display will be
a real mine in actual ocration, and a
gold reduction plant and fctamp mill..
The fisheries wealth of tho Pacific
Northwest, which is of vast importance
will be convincingly shown in the Ore
gon state fisheries exhibit in the gov
ernment fisheries building on the penin
sula in Guild's Ivake. The salmon in
dustry is one of the most valuable as
sets of the Northwest. Tweny million
pound-cans of Columbia river salmon
were packed in 1901, and the cold stor
age pack amounted to 5,000' tons. In
the forestry building will be a com
plete fishery, showing bow salmon ar.
hatched, and illustrating the fe story
of the king of fresh water fishes, and
the methods . used in preservicg the
fish for the Eastern markets.
