Phone Main 82. HIS COLLEAGUES SHOULD MUZZLE HIM. DESCRIBING himself as a member of the National Association of Man ufacturers, a member of the Illinois Manufacturers' association and of the Chicago Association of Commerce, George P. Bent is flooding the country with printed matter signed by himself and attacking the Chi cago Tribune. At the same time he is advancing the theory that Americans are incapable of self government and that the successful business man, the heads of big corporations, and the exploiters of industries should do tho governing for them. Among' other things that Bent complains of is that the Chicago Tribune perpetrated the "Lorimer outrage," which is what he terms the exposure of that gentleman's debauching of the Illinois legislature. Besidos this, Bent complains that the Tribune published all "the disgusting lies of Mulhall," who dared to expose the methods of the gang to which Bent claims eo proudly to belong. ('The greatest" monace that our country h&s today is a so-called 'free press,' " he shouts, "and all duo respect to the 'Fathers' of our constitution, I believe a grave error was made in giving the suffrage to any one who does not possess proper educational and property qualifications," and "it seems clear to me that it is very unwise to give any one the right to vote on any question who does not have both an educational busis for it so as to know what he is doing, and also a property qualification so as to have an interest in what he is doing. A wise man's vote should not be nullified by that of a fool." This gives a fair idoa of Bent's opinion of tho,,mental ability of tho American voter generally, and. of his high opinion) of the class of robbers to which he belongs. It -will be noted that the ballot would bo confined' to those who possessed proporty, if Mr. Bont had his way about it. Of course, in case of war, or if property belonging to this superior class was in dangor, Mr. Bent would kindly allow the average American, who did not know enough to vote, or to rofrain from making a target of himself to protect the property of this Bont class, to rush to the front and die like a hero for the divine corporation manngorj, and the gang that Mulhall has so thoroughly exposed. Not only would he havo the voting privilege confined to property ownors, but he would also havo tho papers muzzled, and the people permitted to rond nothing that had not been thoroughly censored by the favored gang, whose solo claim to this almost divine privilego would bo the possession of great wealth. Ho would not permit tho people to liuvo any information on any subject except such as their solf-appointod rulers thought was best for tho rulers. Ho proposes that the papers bo boycotted by tho big interests, that tho latter no longer pay for bolng roasted by tho papers. This is really good fldvieo for it is asking too much for tho favored ones to furnish tho Bubjoct for the bnrbocue, and to pay for printing the menu. A froe press is the bulwnrk of liberty. Without it anarchy would reign rampant insido of a month, for just such soulless creatures as Bont would at once undortake somothing that would bring down destruction on their heads. If Capital wants to be respect-ed it must bo worthy of respect; if labor wants fair treatment it must deal fairly; if political partios want the Fcople behind theia they must treat tho people justly and honestly; if tho courts want respect they cannot got it by punishing someone for expressing a contempt for them that they have honostly earned, but muBt show thoy are worthy of respect; and if Bent and his class want to be free from criticsim by tho nowspapers then thoy must so conduct themselves that thoy do not de serve Buch criticism. On top of it all, Bent roasts the Chicago Tribune for arraying class against class, tho very thing that he is trying to do, for his whole appeal is to his fellow criminals to stand together and to do tho other fellows up. He would array the lawless against tho law abiding, and should ho be so fortunate as to have his ideas adopted, anarchy would reign and ho and his clasB would be the first victims thereof. HAD A FINE SENSE OF HONOR. THERE hns been much discussion of Governor West's honor system at tho state prison, but that systom has evidently come to stay. Recently at San Quentin, California, all the prisoners, about H00, wore permitted to go outside the prisou walls to see a ball game, and this with only their word thnt they would mako no attempt to escape. Every man returned. It is unanswerable evidence that the best wuy to monngn a man, criminal or other, is to trust him. This case shows that theHo men put upon their honor, criminals though they wero, kept thoir words inviolate At first glance it seems like a foolhardy experiment to make, for thore was every opportunity for a general brenk for liberty and it seems impossible, with our ideas of criminals, thnt such break did not occur. When 1,400 criminals, all earnestly desiring freedom, can bo trusted to return to prison on their sim ple word of honor, It is evident that that term is not an idle one, and that thore is indeed honor among even the worst criminals. It is well the experi ment was tried, for It is flattering to humanity, and forces us all to still have faith in our fellow man. Oregon, led by Governor West, has again showed thn way, and is first in prison management as in everything elso. OREGON'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION THK chairman of tho Republican comniitteo in charge of tho recent elec tion in Maine snys that our reprsentative in congress, If wo can call him that, W. C. Hawley, did especially good work for the party in that election. In fact tho chairman, in his gratitude for this service, moved, no doubt, by a desire to r e iprocato and help Mr. Hawley, Bays: "Republican victory, Third Maine district attributed largely to the fine work work your congressman, Hawley. Addressed large audiences, awoke enthu siasm, which swept district. Your state may well bo proud of bo able a repre sentative." He concludes his panegyric: " Ho suit here assures early return LAPP & BUSH, Bankers TRANSACTS A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS. SAITTY DE POSIT BOXES. TRAVELERS' CHECKS. of Republican rule and repeal of iniquitious Underwood tariff. Maine Repub licans will never forgot the services of Congressman Hawley.' We are pleased, indeed, that our conngressman has been doing something somewhere. He had been lost in the shuffle so long and not heard from or of, that it was doubtful if he was alive. This dispatch clears up tho mys tery of his sequestration and brings theglad tidings that if he is not heard of in Washington, where we sent him, he is at least visible in Maine. It will be cheering news to the Democracy generally to learn that their defeat in Maine was due largely to Hawley, for a heartless Republican press has been poking the party in the ribs and telling it that the result in Maine was due to the Underwood tariff, and the taking of the duty off wool. It is also pleasing to know that Congressman Hawley has completed his labors in Maine and can now go back to Washington and do a little work for Oregon. Anyway so long as Nick Sinnott remains in congress the state will not be entirely without representation in either house, a condition that his pres ence alone prevents. Sinnott is able, strong, conscientious, energetic; a states man rather than a politician, and his ultimate place is the senate. The balance of the Oregon delegation is a generous showing of the victory of matter over mind. Hawley should take a hunch and remain in Maine. Walter B. Manning, the substitute fireman of Portland, who literally leaped into fame when a few days ago he jumped from the Broadway bridge into the raging Willamette and saved someone's life, has had his uniform taken from him and he has been incontinently fired, It seems that Manning did not jump from the bridge, did not save anyone from a watery grave, or do anything else except conccct the story and have it phoned in to the department, and this for the purpose of getting a permanent job, and promotion. He did not get what he wanted nor for that matter what he deserved, for the man who will mako a hero for public admiration has no right to kill thnt same hero off, or worse make him just a mercenary individual out for the dough. How ever Manning got his picture in the papers, which he now properly regrets. If Manning did not save anyone frm the river he at least put one over on the big papers of the city, and considering that he gave them a real thriller of a story, they ought at least to purchase him a suit of clothes to take tho place of the uniform taken from him. FALL OPENIM Of the latest and newest tyle in Ladies' Coats, Suits and Millinery. Com i thn monev we can save vnn. me The Philadelphia Ledger thinks that if steel cars would add to tho safety of travelers, then in the interest of the public th'o railroade should be allowed to charge higher rates to provide for constructing the cars. In other words, the Ledger would have the people build and pay for the cars for the com panies. If the steel cars save life they would save the railroads their price in a few years in the way of damage suits for injuries; and besides there is no more reason for tho public being taxed to build these cars than there is for lovying an extra tax on it to equip the roads with other first class rolling stock. It may be added that the public will have to pay for the new equip ment anyway, and that the roads will manago to exist while tho new equip ment is being built. Confirming the success of commission form of government in North Yaki ma, the report of the state bureau of inspection on that city has been filed. The report shows among other things that for the first time in eleven years tho city's affairs are being transacted more economically and more satisfac torily than ever. Baker Herald. SPECIAL TRAIN GETS PRAISE FROM CHERRIANS They Are All Pleased With Equipment and Service of South Pacific on Trip. This is what "Tho Cherrian," pub lished on tho train somewhere between Tho Dalles and Tcndleton, says of the special train and R. B. Houston, who had charge of it: "Every Cherrian is of the opinion that in service and appointments the special is about the best train that ev er pulled out of Salem, or any other station. R. B. Houston, G. P. A. Scott and tho rost of tho force have surely made good on their wildest promises. The cars have been kept immaculate, every S. P. employe has been courtesy porsonified, and every station has been made ahead of schedule time. "The following1bcsi(le,R.B' are responsible for the train: II. T. Haines, conductor; E. P. Jamicson, J. W. Bart ness, brakeman; Jake Smith, engineer, and P. Holmcson fireman but to single out anyone is unfair, because every one of the boys has been a large and an imated bunch of thoughtful courtesy. It has shown Salem what the Harriman lines can really do when they try. Thank, you, gentlemen, every ono of you."

CHILDREN WILL HAVE GEEAT SHAEE THIS TEAR Last year at tho Oregon state fair the children had an inning as never before and gave such a good account of themselves that old Oregon was promid of them. Any citizen who takes an interest in such matters, and any citizen should, can look back with pride at tho awards to boys and girls for exhibits of farm produce from ducks to onions covering practically the en tire field of agricultural production. Tho showinir nindo bv thn children of Oregon at the 1912 state fair was proof positive that tho movement for agricul tural education alonir nnnulnr lines was n 1 -1 - an absolute success in a practical and experimental way.
