WILL BRING OUT THE LIBERTY BELL.
The school children of San Francisco and of California will not
be called upon to contribute their nickles and dimes toward a
transportation fund to bring the famous Liberty Bell to ban
Francisco for the Panama Pacific International Exposition
The Southern Pacific company, through its officials in this
city, yesterday made an offer to the exposition directors to trans
port the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to San Francisco free of
charge. ,
The railroad offers to bring the bell out and to give it as much
attention throughout the trip as is now given it in its present
resting place in Philadelphia.
The state of Pennsylvania values the Liberty Bell as much as
it does the history connected with it, and the Southern Pacific
railroad officials arc prepared to see that provisions are made
for a company of Pennsylvania militia to guard the bell on its
long trip across the continent.
The trip of the honored old bell that in 1776 announced the
signing of the Declaration if Independence, will be a triumphal
procession.
At every station in the country where the train stops and it
will have to stop at nearly all of them thousands of school chil
dren and their parents will gather to see the old bell that tolled
the greatest story that has ever been published in the United
States.
It is planned to erect a small belfry on a car, and to hang the
bell in that for the trip across the continent.
United States history began with the tolling of Liberty Bell,
and there is not a native of this great country who does not want
to see the beginning of the history of the United States.

The Oregonian has a headline, "Voters Slow to Register." Too
bad, in that county, where they have the most expensive and
Viichlv organized svstem of trvinsr to make people register.
County Clerk Fields placards the streets, sends out tons of print
ed matter, hires any number of special deputies, all to secure a
large registration. The fact is the law is a very defective one.
It is not the Australian ballot law on registration at all, but a
law that starts the whole political game with a blow at manhood
Buffrage, besides forcing a man to declare political affiliation in
advance for the benefit of the machine managers, and shuts out
all the minority parties besides the Democrats from the benefit
of the law. In no state but poor, deluded, long-suffering Oregon
would such a law be tolerated, but it will not be tolerated here
much longer.

The Cincinnati Post, in an eloquent plea - for humane educa
tion, takes a hopeful view of the local situation, and makes the
following observations:
Brutality and crime crime of all sorts and conditions broth
ers. The boy who grows up brutal will seldom develop into a good
citizen.
His instincts will be low, his desires will be low.
He will be long to that great class of undesirables which forces
cities to maintain large police forces.
And brutality, even of the kind that kills inoffensive birds
with pebbles in a sling-shot, grows on one .
It feeds on its own activity.
We believe that there should be a course in the public schools,
all grades, devoted to humanity kindness; the right of four
footed and feathered folks.
We are improving slowly.
We lay out bird reservations.
Robins nest in the maples on our most crowded streets.
Birds that for years sought the depths of the forests now rear
their young within hearing of the roar of the street cars.
In some subtle way they know that their chances of protection
have been increased.
They do not know that kindness is being taught, and brutality
discouraged in countless homes.
Yes, we are improving, but we want the world to move faster
and we plead for school education that will teach the coming
generation to be kind to animals and all birds.
There is a widespread agitation against the use of the cruel
steel trap to entrap animals.
This relic of brutality and barbarism must go.

Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, is a candidate for U. S.
senator and his campaign literature informs us that he is a Lin

"agin enforcing it."

communities. The Salem boosters are going to leave Tuesday

X-RAYS AND SMILES.
The Nebraska secretary of state
holds that Roosevelt and Bryan can
withdraw their names from the Ne
braska ballot and do not have to run
for the presidency. They can but
what the politicians would like to
know; will they?
Mr. Wilson's letter to Adrian H.
Joline in which he wanted "Bryan
knocked once for all into a cocked
hat," illustrates the foolishness of
writing letters especially to a man
who has not an innate sense of de
cency enough to prevent him giving
a private friendly letter to the pub

The ship subsidy advocates are out
with a new scheir". by which they
hope to tax the people for the bene

enough when collected for public pur
poses only, but once give certain
gangs of private individuals the right
to levy taxes, and property owners
will trade off their lands for a yel
low dog, provided they have enough
coin left to buy a gun to shoot the
dog or the ship subsidy crowd.
