FRANK CRANE, of Chicago, I B has proposed five questions for u submission to the pupils of the j public schools who arc 14 years of ago or more. They are: What is your philosophy of lifof What will you do with tho sex pro')-i lem f What about your religion! What about education! What part of tho world's work are you going to dot We submit that is a pretty hefty bunch of questions to submit, even to , grown folks. It is freely conceded that our youngsters, who havo reached tho ,indi; wjb thinking ibont when ?ho pick ripe ago of 14 study-laden years aro ed upon certain kind of the gL-nna man, abundantly able to write a dissertation tind out of what might linv Ii.mii a :se on the philosophy of life, and to point f'l laborer, made what is 'oninionly out tho path that humanity should fob kr.owi: as "the mash-r," It niny hi low. their experience in tho school- font rho realized tint? nothing else could room under the wise teachings we pro- be i::.d'j from that nlod ol m'orinl. vide to tho coming generation certain- I j. ,. rossi,)le - V1,.

From tho remotest times the wise ones of the earth have wrestled with this problem, and havo found no solution, and yet this is to he Jiassod up to tho young sters of 14 years to answer for us. They I are to answer tho problems arising from tho relations of the sexes, before thoy are fully cognizant of what sex means. "What About Religion!" fs another littlo question for tho primer class. I agine the doep insight into this pro found question that children of that ago would havo. Then too, this Chica go doctor would have the youngsters toll us about odncatiun before they have learned how to lenrn. As to what part if the world's work they are going to do, every one knows that they aro just at that ago, when 14, when they think thoy aro going to pry up the old globe and put a chunk under it. It is necessary to teach these things and to begin this instruction early, but with all deference to tho Chicago doc tor, and the Oregonian, which agrees with him, wo ciinnot but think that the elementary things should occupy the child's attention to a later period than the age of 14. We have in tho later days leveised the old Idea about giving milk to babes and meat to the strong men, and are providing the pabulum for our little one frrm the butcher shop. When this older generation solves ev en partially tho sex problem, it will be lime enough to pass tho balance of tho question over to the children. THE UBIQUITOUS MASlfER.

However, v.hr. is theri, t'mt can even tucss wh.it the old remarks about womon who pass. They no doubt think this is smart and wittv, that thoy aro real Chesterfields, "some punkins," and an ornament and honor to tho human race. As a matter of UVt, they are not fit t Fed communities; they a o live in oiviliz- are a disgrace to tho human family, a wart on the social inline; a running, putrescent sore; a rnw edged scab, self-satisfied in thoir little puddle of pus, with as much rela tion to real human beings' as tho vom it a dog ejects is to tho dog who found .its presence both offensive and objec tionable. It is a pity that society can not spew them out and be rid of them, but it seems it cannot be done. There is one remedy left and that is for the man whose wifo, daughter or sister is made tho subject of remark by those dirty, low-down loafers, to provide himself with a double-barreled club and interview those witty street ornaments so long as tho club with stand it. It is pretty low down work to assign to an usually decent and self-respecting club, but it would at lenst bo doing some thing for the uplifting of tho human race, and the doing away with an utter ly useless type of perpendicular brute. N'o woman can pass tho length of Sa lem's streets these days without these brutes making remarks loud enough fu ller to hoi.r, concerning her clothes, her appearance, her walk, hat, shoes, any thing that happens -to catch their lech erous eyes and that can find sxpression by their foul tongues. It may well bo said of the whole dirty gang of them that, If they had been sired by Satan, and dammed bv I'sychornx, and born In Hell, they would disgrace their parents and dishonor thoir country. DRIVE THEM INTO THE LIGHT, U NDEU the above caption the Ore gonian Friday morning has an editorial on the faults of the ref erendum law as it stands at pres ent. There is no doubt but that the law as It now, stands is far from perfect. It places every law passed by the legislature at the merry of any man or set of men, who care to take the trouble to set it aside. Under it, any man who cares to put up the price can invoke successfully the referendum on any law passed. The freedom Amor! can is a great signer. He would sign 1.10 BCMNES9. 8AFETT Dl- I his own death warrant smilingly, and think he was doing a wise thing, if some smiling petition peddler would present hira a nicely prepared petition done up with a few blue ribbons and abundantly "whereased." The evil is protuberently evident but the remedy is not yet found. U'Ren proposes a remedy, which, for a won der, the Oregonian endorses. Hero it is: "Before beginning to solicit signa tures on any initiative or referendum petition for a constitutional amend ment or a general law, or for any local law for a county or district composed of more than ono county, the person, committee or organization proposing the same shall file ten printed copies thereof with the secretary of htate, and also the name and postoffice address of the person, the members of the commit tee and of the organization, and the amount contributed or promised by ev ery person contributing or promising to to contribute towards paying the ex penses of such initiative or referendum petition and campaign for the meas ure." With due deference to the opinions of so good authorities, we cannot quite agree with them. It seems to us that tho true remedy lies in making the pe tition signer act voluntarily. Make him aggressive instead of pathic. If the voter has to go to a littlo trouble to sigf a petition, he will do a little think ing before doing it. Ho will sign anv old thing presented him, but he will not go far out of his way to do it. This suggests a remedy. Provide for leaving the petitions at certain places, at the county clerk's office, at the offices of the justice of the peace in the country' precincts, or such other places as may seem best adapted for the purpose, ami make the would be signer go there to sign. In addition to this make it a penal offense to either pay for securing names to a petition, or to receive pay oiany promise of pay or reward in any shape for securing such names. Wo beliove this would put a stop to tho work of the disgruntled or the mercen ary class that would, and do use the referendum for ulterior purposes. In other words, make tho signing of a pe tition n voluntary act on tho part of the signer. If a measuro is bad enough that the people want to invoke the ref endum on it, they will go voluntarily to the places where the petition is and sign it. If they do not want tho referendum bad enough to do this, then the law doesn't need referring. If they do, the remedy is at their service. X-RAYS. . Tho Columbia, Portland's new thea tre, was dedicated Thursday evening. C. 8. Jackson, of the Oregon Journal, made a talk, which ought to keep the "bugs and kibosh off the playhouse. Congress has appropriated $11,000,000 for the purpose of taking care of tho Indians. This will pay tho salaries of the officials for a year and may leave some for poor Lo. Knnsnns aro cutting wheat by moon light. This kind of " moonshining" is permissible, even the intorior depart ment not making a kick. Condon has just held a wool sale at which 7,000,000 pounds of wool wero sold. Allowing for shoddy, this will make 7,000,000 suits of clothes, and leave enough material for that many more hobble skirts. t Vancouver 'on. bines business with law, and tempers Justice with paint. The city hall needed a coat of paint and when John (ireon, a paintor was up before the city recorder on a charge of drunkenness, incidentally gave his oc cupation as a painter (he recorder promptly said "fifteen days." The city will get its painting done for the price of John Green's board. At Portland Thursday, a big negro woman raised the neighborhood by ap pearing on the streets without, even a hobble on. The only touch of color in her costume was a dark brown tout en semble, and her gown was a tight fit, even tighter thnn tho average hobble. She was evidently insane, for she fan cied she was being attacked by men of her race. When officers arrived on the scene in response to several hundred hurry up calls, the woman was cranking an auto and preparing for a joy ride. If the officers had been a few minutes later there surely would have been a great story for some young reporter to try his hand on. Gift for Bridesmaids. One little bride, with more Ingenuity than money, made photograph frames from material like her wedding dress, placed therein her portrait and that of her finnce, then had the whole thing mounted under glass with a small gilt rim of picture frnme molding. Her maids wore delighted with the gifts. There la no real need of anyone be Ing troubled with constipation.
