THE CAPITAL JOURNAL has received soveral communications concern ing the teaching of the Bible in the public schools, prompted no doubt, by the announcement mado by Superintendent of Public Instruction Churchill of his selection of certain chapters of the Bible to be read in the public schools along with selections from other well-known authors. While the policy of The Capital Journal is to give every one an opportunity to express an opinion on any subject, ithas also insisted that the language should be courteous and inoffensive. The communications referred to did not comply with this rule, and hence wont into the waste basket. - As a matter of fact, the thing the writers complain of does not exist. It is not proposed by Superintendent Churchill that the Bible, Bhall be taught in the public schools. He made his selection from the Bible, not for any faith or creed, but simply for their literary merit. His selection aro to be commended for they are exampee of the most mag nificent literature in existence. Laying aside all matters of belief and judg ing (ho Bible from its literary side alone, it is beyond all comarison. No one, saint or sinner, Christian or atheist, can lay claim to being well-read if they have not rend and enjoyed the Bible. What more magnificent poem than Solomon's Songt What more profound study and expression of human affairs than tho monologue of the afflicted Job? What pnragrapher of modern days has ever approached Solomon t What writer has ever said so much in so few words, and said it one-half so well as those whoso writings comprise the Bible! What modern writer has ever told so pathetic a Btory as that of the Prodigal Son, in so few wordst 'What writer outsiTlo of the Bible has ever told so sim ple, yet so grand a love story as that of Ruth I What perfect Vive as ever de picted in so few and so entrancing words as that of this old-time maiden! What has evor equalled her declaration, that, "Thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God," or that culmination, "Where thou diest. I will dio, and thcro will I be buried." What Btory of human affairs, love and hato, jealousy ind rovonge, betrayed tniHt, undying friendship, vindictive persecution, su premo tragedy eqiuils the New Testament? Surely to shut out such literature from the public schools would bo almost a crime. That any creed should be taught, with our innumerable differences of articles or faith, differences of de tail of worship, distinct ideas ns to form and ceremonial, would bo highly im proper; but to shnt out tho literature of tho lliblo would bo to deprive the student of one of tho richest literary sources extnnt. It would bo just a fool ish ns to refuse to read somo of Ingoraoll 's mnstcrpicccs of thought and diction because we are not in accord with his beliefs. THE BOTANICAL FEMALE. THE EXTREMK DELICACY aud inordinato modesty of tho Amorican people is shown in the hositancy they have in using tho word "log," when that member of tho human anatomy happens to belong to a wo man. If it belongs to a child, man or animal, that part of the body used in locomotion is invariably called leg, but when it belong to a woman, (thanks for the correction, ft lady) it becomes taboo, aud has to bo spoken of, and that not too loudly, as a "limb." It seems to us that following this deli cate distinction to its legitimate conclusion, we should make it apply to the sex regardless of ago. If grown sister Jano supports, or is supported by "limbs," why shoulan 't little Bister Mary havo her underpinning in the same botanical category, and distinguished as "twigs?" Why not carry tho idea to its legitimate conclusion and in tho caso of the slender and willowy female call her (in theso days) visiblo means of support, "branches," and tho snmo members bolonging to her heavier built and more robust sister, "forks!" Then, too, there should bo somo line of demarcation, some definite place, or ago, or something, whoro tho average man, especially newspaper men, could without difficulty tell which name to use. It would save much worry as to which term to use In writing up an accident where a leg, twig, branch or fork was broken, and at the same time convey an idea as to the ago of tho injured. In other words, would It not. be well to have tho age at which tho girl's leg bo catno the woman's limb, branch or whatever class it got itself into, fixed, to know when tho leg ceases and the limb takes its place. THE MAKING OF A GREAT CITY. THE OREGON JOURNAL calls attention to the city of Glasgow a on evidence of what can be done by dredging. Glasgow is situated on tho River Clyde, nn inconsiderable stream that In this country would be call ed a envk, and Is t.ri miles from its mouth, lly dredging, this littlo creek was mode into an immcuso canal, capable of floating the largest shiiitt oven of theso days. Forty years go Glnsgnw had 110 shipping in her jmrt for tho very good reason that she had no port. Today her shipping am ounts to about 20(1,000,000 tons yearly. This is indeed a wonderful showing, and If it can be duplicated at Portland, the good work should bo commenced at once, Conditions are wholly different, and while Glnsgow easily controls tho waters of tho Clyde, it is an entirely different proposition to control the waters of the, Columbia. Wo do not mean to insinuate that this cannot bo done, but only mil attention to tho fact that there might bo mora difficulty in dredging the Columbia and maintaining a 30 or more foot channel to tho sea than there is lu controlling the smaller stream. The tremendous floods of the Columbia, instead of being a benefit, might prove tho reverse,, and make the maintenance of a channel much more costly than controlling the little Clyde. All Oregoni.ins are interested in ha.'ing Tort land made the greatest port on the coast, and will do all In their power to ac complish this; and if it can be shown that a deep channel across tho bar and np tho river to Portland can be maintained without prohibitive cost, then all the state will stand in to accomplish this. With a pormanrut channel of this kind, Portland will eventually be the great port, the greatest city 011 tho coast. She will be tho greatest because nature for.her, removed the mountain barrier and gave her a water haul from the grmt Inland Kmpiro. Bho commands tho onlv route between tho Pacific and tho east that does not have a mountain At first glance one would not suspect that the auto had anything to do with the high cost of living for people who do not own the bubble wagons, though admittedly they add to the cost of high living, for the owners; but this, it seems, is not the case. It is pointed out that the use of enormous quanti ties of leather in the finishing of autos has sent the price up and consequently adds to the cost of shoes, harness and all things for which leather is used.
