" , This subject is not popular, and many there be who will not like to have their newspaper speak of it But the thousands of innocent, wretched, dying victims who might have been saved the living hell they are in if they htd only known how terrible were the results of lawlessness, these wish there had been greater publicity. Let it be known that these diseases are the worst scourge of the race and if it takes publicity to. stop them, let the daylight in. Near akin to this is an editorial in the Sioux City Tribune entitled, ' ' A Fearful Price": "Dr. Paul S. Hunter, secretary of the Colorado State Board of Health, is being widely quoted as saying that, if such a law as that recently made in Wis consin, forbidding the marriage of diseased persons and compelling the ster ilization of defectives, had always been enforced, three-fourths of the world's greatest geniuses would never have been born. "Accepting, for argument's sake only, the statement as one of fact, the impression is that humanity has paid a fearful price for its geniuses." Fargo (N. D.) Courier-News. CITY TO BUILD HOMES FOR WORKMEN. THE OEEGONIAN '8 SPLENDID WORK. THE OREGONIAN deserves and has the thanks of the entire state for the splendid service it gave in descriptive matter 'of the state fair. It de voted much space to this and sent special writers here to cover the field fully. This was done, and through its state-wide circulation the fullest . publicity was given it, and its magnificent exhibits were thus made known to thousands who were unable to attend. The state fair is not a Salem eveut, but one state-wide and of vast importance to the whole northwest. The Oregonian, with its broad-minded policy and keen insight, recognized this and spared no effort to advertise the fair. Time was, and that not very long ago when the state was divided against itself, when every community looked upon every other as its natural enemy, and missed no opportunity to give it a jolt It was the idea that if we as n community could keep some other town from getting something, that we would get it ourselves. This time happily has joined, and every community is friemi'y to all the others. We have arrived at the true idea that whatever benefits one section of the state, in an indirect way benefits all. The Oregonian has set a splendid example of this new and broad-minded plan of boosting for one another snd thereby for all. Salem, in this especial case, more tnfn any other, place, was benefited by the Oregonian 's splendid work, and we make this acknowledgement of the value of that work. It is indeed pleasurable to note this new departure in Oregon journalism, and to welcome the new and certainly much better order of things. 1-: COMMERCIAL EFFECT OF TARIFF CHANGES. ' AN FRANCISCO has received consignments of fresh meat from Australia and fresh beef is being shipped to New York from Argentina, yet the price of meat continues to soar. The price of neat cattle continues to LJ rise in the face of the clause in the tariff bill putting all food animals on the free list While we are importing fresh meat from Argentina and Australia and cattle on the hoof from Mexico, the beef barons of Chicago are exporting American meat to Europe and selling it abroad cheaper than they sell it at home. Yet they wanted the duty on meat and cattle retained to protect the farmers and stockmen! When hides were placed upon the free list by the Payne-Ajdrich law, the meat packers said it would compel the farmers to take less money for their cattle. The shoe manufacturers said it would make shoes cheaper. Cattle and shoes have both advanced in price. Behind the tariff duty on Imported shoes, the manufacturers not onl bold to the old prices for shoes, but marked them up a few holes. Putting hides on the free list did not injure the stock raiser, neither did it benefit the wearer of shoos. The law of supply and demand made the cattlemen independent of tariff changes. What does it all prove f That it is never safe to take the statements of in terested parties in making up tariff schedules. They frequently do not know what they are talking about, but always talk for what they think will fill their own pockets. In the recent tariff dobate Senator Cummins, of Iowa, fought for the retention of the duty on wheaton the ground that its abolition would result in Canadian wheat overwhelming the markets of the United States. He said the farmers of his stato would be ruined if Canadian wheat were admit ted free of duty. The United States ship to Europe nearly as much wheat as the Dominion of Canada produces. Iowa farmers raise corn, not wheat, and putting wheflt on the free list will not make broad a cent cheaper in the Uni ted States. On the tariff question reformers and standpatters are humbugs alike, They are making peanut politics out of an economic question which neither under stands or studies in a really inquiring spirit. Whether they profess to be for protection or for tariff for revenue only, they are really for a tariff for parti san politics. All our tariff laws have been the fruit of selfishness, ignorance, domagogy and partisan prejudice, and It will be an accident if the last proves an improvement on its predecessors. Oakland ('al.) Tribune CLEVELAND is certainly going the limit in the way of Socialism. Her latest move is to go into the real estate business, which she is arrang ing to do. The city owns 93 acres near the outskirts and this it intends to lay off into an addition and it is the intention to make a model little city. It will build small homes such as usually sell at about $3000, and these it will sell to workingmen at $2000, and will make the payments easy for them. The addition will be supplied with water, sewers, gs, lights, and ev erything required in a modern city. - The movement will be watched with a great deal of interest, and if it proves a success, it will set a new mark that other cities will be likely to follow.

PUBLICITY FOR VICE DISEASES? I, YOU HAD SMALLTOX or diphtheria or scarlet fever, no doctor would hesitate to sny, at once, that you ought to bo quarantined and a sign- post ed so that others could keep awny from danger. In every placo that wo know of, the law would require this and tho doctor who failed to report tho case would bo subject to punishment. In Pennsylvania tho other day, tho Ktato Medical Hocioty had a brisk discussion on whether it should recom mend a law quarantining, mule and female alike, victims of those two infec tious diseases duo to vice. Pretty uniformly the surgeons said yes, and tho general practitioners said no, not yet. You can cattily understand the division. The surgeons bco more of tho mis chinf wrought by these diseases than tho doctors see, for it furnishes alwut half of thuir work. Hut they deal loss with tho direct than with the indirect victims. They would not havo to bear tho brunt of the buttle for publicity, as the doctors would. This doesn't mean, though, that doctors aro mostly cowards. Far from it. The doctors, we guess, would hail such a law with pleasure if it were supported strongly by public sentiment. They aro naturally not anxious to havo tho law until there is enough sentiment to make it effective. After threshing the sub ject over for two days, the Pennsylvania doctors united in recommending that hospitals receiving statu aid bo obliged to receive patients suffering from these diseases ami that as soon as adequate hospital facilities had been ar ranged cases should bo reported and registered. ilero again the factor of sentiment comes in. Even to get adequate hospi tals such cases aro now debarred because of the prejudice of other patients. In few cities aro the facilities anywhere, near oqunl to tho need and in none is the public health work sufficiently supported to insuro tho right trentmont for all Infected persons who cannot or do not buy it themselves. Thero Is where the public comes in. Do you think that the man or woman who, by vicious living, incurs a disease which menaces the health of others, in cluding children unborn; which causes more than half of tho blindness among (UNITSD PUSS LSMSn Will. New York, Oct. '8. Uniform laws for divorce, the demand that certifi cates of health be presented by all brides and bridegrooms the question of changing the name to "American Catholic Church" or merely "Amer ican Church" and tho proposition to let the public in to sessions of the House of Bishops were the important subjects to be discussed at general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States and Terri tory Beyond the Seas, when the meet ing opened today at the Church of St. John the Divine. Because of the questions which will be considered and .settled the conven tion which opened today is expected to bs the most important ever held by the church. Perhaps the most important question to .the church body will be whether the House of Bishops shall meet behind closed doors as it haB during the 128 years there have been general conventions. A hot contest is expected to come when the motion to lot in the public and the press as is tho case when the House of Deputies meets, is introduced. The House of Bishops met in the old Synod Hall and the House of Deputies in the new Synod Hall. Attending the general convention which opened today aro 115 bishopB and 630 clergymen and laymen, all of whom attended this morning's services in the Cathredrnl where Bishop Law rence, of Massachusetts preached the opening sermon. Holy Communion was administered with the Kev. Dnniel S. TuUlo of Missouri, presiding Bishop of the church, as the -celebrant. Ho was assisted by the licv.

The police susicct ed today tnat it was a negro who mur dored Miss Ida Leegson, the art stu dent found dead on the prairie in the outskirts of town Saturday morning. A young woman answering her des cription was seen walking with a black man on the west side Saturday after noon and a general order was issued today for a hunt for him. An abandoned automobile also was found not far from the spot where the corpse lay and it was this machine, the authorities conjectured, that she was takon to the place. The car was stolen Saturday afternoon from Jack son Park. Miss Leegson seems to have fallen into her captor's hands about 6 o' clock Saturday night and as she had been dead but a short time when found, Coroner's Physician Springers expressed the opinion .that sho was tortured from soon after that hour un til five or six o'clock Sunday morning. - 4- I LADD & BUSH, Bankers ;j TRANSACTS A QBNEXAL BANKING BUSINESS.
