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

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.

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

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.

of the church, as the -celebrant. Ho

Chicago, Oct 8. 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.
