I'hone Main 81. THE HUMAN EARTHQUAKE. Horrible as is the Italian earthquake so stunning as even to overshadow the horrors of world war still it has its recompense in suddenly awaking a strong and tender spirit of human brotherhood throughout the world, as the smiting of a rock may release a flowing spring of sweet and living water. Pitiful as is the condition in shattered Belgium, it, too, has its recompense in the glorious outburst of sympathy and helpfulness to which every heart responds. Shameful as is the extent of unemployment in all our ' cities, that also has its recompense in its appeal to the; best that is in us, in our universal response in feeling and : in thought and in the eagerness with which the man who is up extends his hand to lift his brother who is down. ; The winter of 1914-15 will perhaps be the darkest in: all history for horror and suffering. But it also bids fair to be the brightest in history in the sympathy awakened the helpfulness given, the sacrifices made, the money con tributed and the serious, virile thought devoted to the bet-! terment of humanity. There are pessimists in plenty bitterly contending that cruel greed and blind selfishness are the dominant traits of the human race. It may sometimes seem to be true in the dull everyday grind. 1 But the limelight of a. great catastrophe, illumining the heart deeps of man, discloses the lie and reveals soul rooted qualities that are little short of godlike the strong, deep human forces of love and faith and hope, that have brought us up from savagery to some orderly sys-- tern and wiil ever sustain us and steadily lift us higher. When the master hand of fate strikes the strong, deep chords within us, the petty clink of coins is stifled, as the cry of the bird is lust in the roar of the storm. In this convulsion of human nature treasures that lie far ikcper than the pocket break to the surface. The billionaire contributing his hundreds of thousands and the poor child giving her penny have hearts the same to hear the wail of need, and sjovils the same to respond. There are mighty, glorious passions in the human heart which, 'when aroused, make greed give gladly and selfishness delight in sacrifice. In the presence of a horror before which human (low er and learning are helpless, human love and helpfulness loom up as the potent, abiding, unconquerable forces of earth. , More precious than all wealth, which is so easily de stroyed, better than all wisdom, which is so easily con founded, dearer to mankind than all the food and cloth ing and shelter to the suffering, is human sympathy, which disaster only strengthens and despair only sweet ens, and which is sweeping across the earth like a host of angels out of heaven. Last year in this country eighty-two hundred and f if- j ty-one murders were committed and the suicides number- ed thirteen thousand nine hundred and sixty-five. There were fifty-four lynchings and seventy-four executions. That's a record from which we as people might wish to ; turn away, but it's k record, just the same, and has to be' faced. It reveals a shocking disregard of rights to life ' and happiness and of the responsibilities of life. j Miss Ida Tarbell is just now telling one of our investi-: gating committees, back in New York, what is wrong with the world and people who inhabit it. Ida knows and it is kind of her to make the knowledge public, indicating that; her opposition to monopoly is as strong as ever, even mo nopoly of the wisdom she has such a large corner on. jc Overdrafts, unsecured jU.

There's the truth of the matter. There is every reason why the press of this country should be all the Sun claims it to be, for it depends upon public confidence and support which must he won on merit and sustained by it. The press of this country represents a much greater investment as a busi ness enterprise than that of any other country, and the investment alone must be considered as a thing to be pro tected in every way by a hold upon the reading and adver tising public.

This is aj very important matter and one which should receive the, greatest possible consideration from the Commercial clubj and our people generally. It holds out a greater promise for profitable returns than the sugar beet industry which has recently been discussed here and elsewhere through- out western Oregon.
