OHIO recently passed a workmen's compensation law similar to that passed last winter by the Oregon legislature, and the bill has had about the same treatment that it met with here. That is, it has been, or has attempted to be referred to the people for ratification or rejection, just as has been done here. Tt has followed still further, the course of the Oregon measure, in that it is claimed the petitions for the recall were obtain ed by fraud. In the Ohio cbhc, however, the fraud is. said to bo of a whole sale character. It is claimed that the peddlers of the petitions took old city directories, telephone books, any old thing full of names, and wrote as many of tho names therein, on the petitions, as they cared to. This, of course, saved much work, and enabled the petition peddlers to earn fairly good salaries, as they were paid at the rate of five cents a name; and copying names at that price was so profitable that it must have also been pleasurable. It was shown by the confossion of , five of these peddlers who are under arrest, that in one petition containing tho names of 220 citizens, that not one had signed it or seen it. Names of men dead for years were on the petition, which showed remarkable energy on their part. A petition from another county contained the names of 210 peoplo and only two of those had signed it. This shows, just as conditions here showed; that the law is weak, and needs amending. The suggestion made in The Capital Journal some time since is, we believe, well calculated to stop this work. That is to have all pe titions of this character left at certain places, such as the county clerk's of fice, and other places, justices of the peace, for instance, and then make it a penalty for any one to either pay or receive money for obtaining namos to these petitions. Let tho act of signing be voluntary, and also require some little effort on the part of tho party signing. The referendum is all right in principle, but as ' it stands at present, it is open to all kinds of fraud, and simply places a wea pon in the hands of tho lawless to override tho people's will. With this, or somo similar rhango to shut out thofrnmls the liiw is a splendid one, but it surely needs fixing. 4(1 HIGH FERTILIZER VALUE OF SPOILED HAT. .jpavl'.HY At.KK pr this spoiled hay, then, that is applied to tho land i lj will permit tho raising of threo 30-bushel wheat crops, or five 40 P bushel out crops or three 20-biishol potato crops or three COO- bush- si el apple crops, without any depreciation in tho fertility of the soil," is the astounding statement made by Professor If. D. Scud der, agronomist of the Oregon Agricultural collego in discussing tho farmers' most pressing problem of tho best disposition to make of spoiled hay. Profes sor Souddor continues the discussion as follows: "A ton of clover hay contains 40 pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phos phorous and thirty pounds of potassium. If this amount of plant food was to be purchased on the market as fertilizer, it would cast not less than $8.50 and pebably closer to 10.50, depending upon the form of fertiliser. Since a good average field of votch and clover would yield the first cutting this year about three tons per acre, the actual fertility value at the lowest market prlco for these three plant foods alone, containod in the spoiled hay on tho average acre of clover land is 21.50. Clover hay that has become spoiled for feed has lost little or none of these fortuity elements, and hence evory ton of It that can Vie returned to the land is worth not loss than 10 to $13, and every acre with threo tons of this spoiled hay carries a value of $.'10 to $15 If properly util ised. "The folly of letting this hay lie or burning it up can be seen at a glance. It should be hauled to the barnyard and thrown in deep piles, just as is tho manure. In other words, it should be composted, or allowed to rot. If it in cline to "firofang" It should be wet down a little. When the fall rains come it will rot down and bo ready to spread on the land In tho following winter. In many cases this hay can he hauled off the meadow and spread at once on the stubblefield or pasture that la to be plowed this fall, llofore plowing it should bo thoroughly disked so that it will bo rhopped up and mixed with tho surface soil. "Every ton of it contains as much plant food as is taken away from tho barn iu thirty bushels of wheat, or sixty-six bushels of onts, or 200 bushels of Ktntoes, or (100 bushhela of apples, or in one ton of fat hogs, or four tons of milk, or ten tons of butter.

Involved in the case were hundreds of acres of land which the two obtained through deals in connection with the bank, and which, as nothing is said about their being forfeited or returned they probably retained. Here in Salem a few days ago the curtain fell on a farce that has been before the courts for some four or five years, when J. Thorburn Hose was turned loose. We are not vindictive and have nothing against Ross, but we submit that his acts were not such as to be lightly overlooked, and that his being turned loose was a travesty on justice. Roes never served a day in prison, and neither did the -gentlemen in Idaho, the president rushing their pardon by wire to prevent that appalling catastrophe. Now why prosecute Ray Diamond t He only got a small sum, and that was all returned, just as were the sums taken by Ross. Why then send Dia mond to the penf Why should we make a distinction between the man who liolds up the cashier of a bank, and gets a few hundred, or a few thousand dollars, and the cashier who holds np the bank and gets away with a big roll! Why send a man to prison who commits the smaller offense and par don the man who commits tho greater I As a matter of fact, the man who takes a gun and at some risE to himself, holds up a cashier, is a much bet ter specimen of real manhood than the cashier, who takes advantage of his friends, betrays the trust reposed in him and robs his employer and his em ployer's friends. Yet we make fish of one and flesh of the other. Whyf Is it explained in that sentence, "They were prominent in social and finan cial circles?" It must be, for that is the case with all who get the sympathy and the pardons. Will Diamond be pardoned t Will the young fellow in jail at Oregon City for robbing the bank at Milwaukie be turned loose! Will the men in jail at The Dalle's for holding up the bank at Hosier be given dis tinguished consideration and a pardon be rushed to them by wire to prevent them being disgraced by doing time in the penf You can answer it to suit yourself. A PROFOUND SUGGESTION. RECENTLY in discussing tho tariff a proposition was mado that would give the president authority to raise the tariff rates on importations from countries refusing to enter into reciprocity deals with the United States. This shows the profound wisdom of the very small men we Americans elect to office to make our laws for us. This avatar of unwisdom seems to think that the foreigner pays tho tax. He has tho idea that whon this or any othercountry levies a tariff tax, that it is a punishment of the other fellow. As amatter of fact, which everybody but a congressman knows, tho levying a tariff on any product makes the consumer of that product pay an extra pricefor it, it makes him pay the tariff. Now this brainy legislator would have the president authorized in case Borne foreign country punishes its citizens by compelling them to pay a tar iff duty on our goods, to get even on the low down foreigner by compelling ub to pay a tariff on anything we might buy of that country. It would let us play even by punishing our own people just as mne h as any foreign gov ernment might punish theirs. Reciprocity, it has been well said, is not so much an agreement between two countries to do each other good, as it is to refrain from doing each other harm. We agree to be wise and just if the other fellow is, but why if he makes a blamed fool of himself, should we be compelled to get down to his level, and to get even on him, make all kinds of fools of ourselves! The rea son soma of our lawmakers do not occasinally think is that they have noth ing to think wi,th. AD-MAWS TALKS pE AMERICAN! do seme very queer things besides aping French fashions. For instance, wo assail tho saloonkeeper for selling liquor, speak of his business In terms of contempt, and hold up our hands in horror at tho barkeeper. Now the barkeeper may be an abstainer himself, may not drink at all, but while wo are roasting him wo have only feelings of pity for tho man who works on tho outside of the bar and does the drinking. We say tho man would not drink if tho other fellow did not have it bandy and sell It to him. This is undoubtedly true, but is it not also truo that If tho other fellow refused to buy and did not demand tho product the barkeeper would not be selling itt There is another place where we make really Invidious distinctions and without the shadow of justification. There is now iu the jail at Itoseburg a yonngfollow named Ray Diamond. Ho is charged with, and Is guilty of, holding up a hank cashier at (llendale, and robbing him of some $2000. In a short time ho will ho tried and, In the natural course of events, will be sent to the penitentiary. This is according to the laws made for the punishment of such offenders, and will not bo criticised by us. At I.cwlston, Idaho, Monday, William F. Kettonbaeh and Ooorgo TI. Ros ter were unconditionally pardoned by President Wilson. They had been con victed of making false reports to the comptroller of the currency, as to tho rendition of a hank they were managing, and using its supposed surplus In land speculation. The supremo court had affirmed the decision, and It was all off with them unless a pardon was forthcoming, which It was just at the right time. The news story of tho pardoning naively but unnecessarily adds that;' Only permanent success is worth while. The kind that establishes good will and makes every customer a "repeater. Tho fly-hy-niglif vendor of qnestion- able merchandise who lures trade by flaring banners announcing an alleged solo of $100,000 worth of clothing slightly damaged by firo at 25 cents on the dollar would never think of advertising in The Capital Journal and even if ho were disposed to do so, The Capital Journal would not accept his business. This sort of ficticious price-cutting produces a cortain type of business. "Transient" is the descriptive term best applied to it. "Transient," because its a structure built without a foundation because It is dependent for its very life from day to day upon attracting tho unwary. It Is a superficial view that answers "Well, but they get the money," yes, once. Twice! rarely. Three times! never. Doubtless it is a bit disconcerting to the consciencious merchant to see the crowds flock In the storo of an obvious fnker who advertises to give away the earth as a premium with every snle Hut upon second thought he remem bers that there is a law of compensation. And pin him down to a sincere an swer nn (1 he will admit that he would not trade his own good name and the reputation of his business for a dozen of these apparent successes, The fictitious price-cutter hns his resources, They nre his supposedly low prices and tho gullible element to which he enters. Without either, his business would crumble in a day. The conscientious merchant has his rescources, also The confidence of the community in him snd his methods If firo or flood should sweep awnv ;! LADD & BUSH, Bankers i I ) H his goods, he would still be rich in good name nnd credit. Let us get the definition thoroughly in mind. Let ns not be confused or confounded by the conditions that sur round us. Lot us stick close to the fundamental idea that advertising is business building not merelv business getting. Let us build on the firm, sure fonn dation of public confidence, even if progress oftentimes appears slow in comparison with mushroom growth gained today at tho cost of failure tomorrow. Each man's advertising problem calls for his own individual solution but there are certain conditions that govern all advertising alike. The first principles observed, tb advertiser must plan his advertising to fit his business. Rut the basis of every permanently successful advertising campaign must be honesty of purpose to give the best possible value for the buyers' money, This means a satisfied customer, and a satisfied customer means a "repeat customer and a ''repeat sale" is the real net monoy-making snle. I This is the clnss of trade to which I the wise advertiser makes his success ful appeal in Capital Journal adver tising.

BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS AND THE RURAL SCHOOL The importance of the boys' nnd girls' club movement as affecting the rural school is discussed in a recent report by A. C. Monahnn, of the Vnited States Bureau of Education. Mr. Mon ahan points out that the clubs are at present more closely identified with the schools than ever before, and that their work is becoming a moro def inite part of the school program. The tremendous influence of these clubs in aid of better farming, bejter living conditions, and better schools, is there fore exerted as part of the movement to make the rural school the real cen ter of rural civilization. After showing how the clubs are or ganized through the school authorities, Mr. Monahan speaks particularly of tho girls' garden and canning clubs, which in an incredibly short time have assumed an importance second only to the better-known boys 'corn clubs. Fur thermore, while the government's activities in behalf of the clubs have i until recently been confined to the south, they arc now extended to the 1 Vftrfllttn nn.l TI . T t and girls' agricultural clubs are now organized under national auspices in most of the states. I These newer clubs are organized in J much the snnic was as in the south, ex cept that they will be in closer con nection with the state colleges of agri culture. The work has been plnnned directly for the fnrm and home, rnthcr , than for tho school, but in most in stances it is carried on through the agency of the school, and may therefore bo made an integral part of rational worn ny the school si Besides the boys'- and girls f numrjer of othor agencies art throughout the United State in the rural school advance. I ahan gives an account of Un report. He .describes, amo:. things, the creation of a nm division in the Bureau of E specially provided for by state rural commissions in the states; work of state ari rural supervisors: and schools r ment associations in the cor j trlcts.
