SOME LARGE QUESTIONS
SMALL FOLKS.
FOR
TV
R. 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

ics and similar fol do-rolt
Why not, then, let tho world hear
from tho lips of tho experienced youths
of 14, tho truo theory of tho philosphy
' ''fo' '
And then just imagine tho profound
thought that these wiseacres of 14
would bo prepared to dish up for us on
short notice on the sex problem. 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.

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.

At Portland Thursday, a big negro
