OREOOK AS USUAL, SHOWED THE WAT.
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.

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.

"They are prominent in social and financial circles." 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.

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

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
