LET US FIND THE CAUSE AND REMEDY
A few days ago the Capital Journal suggested that
the Commercial Club would do- well to appoint a commit
tee to examine into the situation as to farming in the
Willamette valley. It reiterates that suggestion. Salem
is the center of a large and very rich agricultural section.
The lands mostly are of the very best, the climate per
mits the successful cultivation of almost anything that
will grow in the temperate zone, the farmers are intelli
gent and progressive as those anywhere, and yet it is
conceded that the farmers are not as prosperous as they
should be, and their investment in land is not yielding
such returns as it should.
For this condition there are as many explanations as
there are persons trying to explain. There is but one
cause upon which there is a general consensus of opinion,
and that is lack of markets.
If it is. just lack of markets, is not the explanation
rather that we do not grow the right products? Is not
this phase of the matter well worth examining into? The
trouble with the wheat grower is understood. The ship
ping trust has simply raised the charter rates enough to
absorb all the extra price caused by the war. While
wheat is worth from a half to two thirds more than usual
in Europe, the price here is advanced but a trifle above
normal. We know the cause there, but the remedy
seems to be beyond us.
This may be the case, that, is we may not be able to
prescribe the remedy, even though we should get fully
informed as to the disease, but it is certain that we can
do nothing at all until we do know the cause. It may
hurt some to discover this, but whatever it is, it will not
hurt half so bad as the present uncertainty.
The Capital Journal would like to hear from the
farmers on this subject and invites them to express their
opinions on the subject,, briefly as possible and without
bitterness or sarcasm. Anger and harsh words butter
no parsnips and get one nowhere.
If lands are too high let us demonstrate that fact. If
we are growing crops for which the market is limited, let
us find that out and tackle some other. Let us find out,
if we can the nature of our trouble, and then remedy it,
i f we can.
when it was crowded, that many lives would be lost.
In the meanwhile if there are anv other public build'
ings in the city whose doors open inward they should be
reported and the building inspector should see that they
are made to swing the other way. The cries of those little
ones trapped behind an inswinging door, against which
they beat their tiny hands in vain, should ring in the ears
of those guilty of .their death, so long as life remains to
them.
Another case of American fad comes to light in the
University of Pennsylvania where a young woman is ex
perimenting with a polony of white rats, for the purpose
of demonstrating that the marriage of blood relations,
even of .brother and sister, instead of being harmful may
be actually beneficial. She is also trying to demonstrate
that sex can be controlled before birth. The amount of
intelligence the woman has is shown by her statement
that if this sex control can be demonstrated, she will pre
scribe it for the warring nations of Europe, so that it
may take the place of suggested polygamy. She does not
seem to realize that this remedy for polygamy, if one is
needed at all, is needed by the present generation that has
already reached puberty. Nature will take care of the
sex of the generations to come.

DEAD THROUGH CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS
The salmon run in Grays Harbor, Washington, is a
remarkably heavy one, the canneries being fairly
swamped. Another indication of better times if some old
combine or trust does not step in and take all the profits.
There being a strong export demand the fellows with the
ships will probably get their work in on the deal.
Just as a side issue let it be remarked that President
Wilson's mother-in-law-to-be is Mrs. W. H. Boiling. By
the way that is to say you understand that mighf also
be the name of the grand mother of course, that is,
providing there is any occasion for a grand mother.
Lord Lansdowne, a day or two ago, gravely informed
the British Peers that "the plight of the Serbian army
is serious." He must have gotten hold of a week-old
paper from this side of the Atlantic. . ,
The Oregonian says ".it has long been the true ex
ponent of sound democratic doctrine." "Shades of Pope
and Dry den! has it come to this?" ,
It is evident from his testimony -;' in the New Haven
railroad case, that that road lost out as a dividend payer
by cutting the wrong Mellen. , i
The burning to death of half a hundred children at
IVabody yesterday sent a thrill of horror through the
whole country. Caught in the terrible death trap of a
building whose doors opened inward, with only an inch
of wood between them and life, their poor little lives
went out smothered in strangling smoke, or trampled
beneath the feet of their frenzied fellow victims.
The heroic women, their teachers, risked their lives to
pave them, but in vain. And why was this terrible
holocaust? There is but one answer and that is the
criminal carelessness of those who built or owned the
house and the worst than criminal negligence of those
whose duty it was to enforce the law requiring that all
doors in public buildings open outward, and that firej
escapes he provided.
The terrible loss of life in the Iroquois theatre at
Chicago was from a similar cause, and one would think
that since that no sane person would permit such a fire
trap. It can only be accounted for on the ground that
those in charge of the building believed there was no
danger. Yet there is always danger from fire.,
Here in Salem we have a building of that kind now,
and owned by no less a personage than the government
of the United States, the Salem post office. True, there
is little danger of it burning, yet its big south doors are
very heavy and hard to open. The west door is of the
turn style kind, that could easily be blocked should there
1k a panic, as then those inside would try to go out on
each side of the gates.
It might easily happen in case of fire in that building
HUMILITY
Don't let your head swell up too greatly; don't let
your stride be too blamed stately. For, though you rank
with high class peaches, some other pebbles line the
beaches. If into fame vou think Vou're
butting, be modest still, and do no strut
ting; whatever line of work you follow,
some other chaps can . beat you hollow.
Perhaps you're writing fine romances,
whose sale to figures huge advances; but

H'W' J perished is your jimcrow glory. Perhaps
tA Q you're painting classy pictures, which
have received more praise than strictures,
and you bulge out your chest and chortle, and think
you're surely an immortal. But all your works are mere
disasters, compared with chromos by the masters. What
ever graft you are-pursuing, whatever fancy stunt you're
uoing, it is uecoming to be modest, for when your lame
is at its broadest, it still looks cheap to men surrounding,
beside great names, down ages sounding. No human
being should envelope himself with majesty, and swell up,

Poabody, Mass., Oct. 29. The dim
light in Peabody's gloomy morgue
shone today on a ghastly sight the
half burned, twisted corpses of 19 child
victims of the holocaust iu St. John's
parochial school yesterday. Two other
little bodies lay in St. Thomas' hospital
morgue, the victims of burns and shock
in the pupils' mad flight for safety.
The ashes of yet another are believed
to be mingled with the debris inside the
fireswept walls of the school.
Though firemen yesterday reported
that 27 bodies had been recovered, n
checking up process today showed that
the total casualties were 22, including
the body of a child believed incinerated
inside the building.
Crepe decorated doors and silee
groups of children completed the most
pitiful child tragedy ever known in
Massachusetts. A dozen Hallowe'en
parties at which many of the parochin'
school children were to havo been the
g,uests, have been cancelled.
The children instead will be trudging
home from funerals of their little play
mates on hallowe 'en.
State investigators poked through the
ruins of the fire trap to discover the
crigin of the fire. They believe it
started in a closet underneath the base
ment stairs, and curled upward in an
awful blast which shut off the exit of
many.
The state authorities laid the blame
on local officials for the fact that there
were no fire escapes by which, the near
ly 700 children could make rapid; safe
egress, and further for the fact thnt
the doors behind which several tiny
forms were crushed and trampled open
ed in;vnid.

William Riddle and sons of Mon
mouth have had excjuUeut results in
Angora goat rnising on their large
ranches. According to Mr. Ridde'1
the gouts will require hay and grain
throughout this winter as a result of
the prolonged dry weather through
the nutnnicr, but all this considered,
the goats ar profitable as land clear
er and an money earners. Most of
the bucks raised in the Riddell hold
ings were shipped to Texas this year,
where there is a continued demand
for good stock. Tho kids are an ex
ceptionally healthy lot and Mr. Rid
dell expects a fino herd next spring.
"People will begin to realize general
ly the need of goats on the ranch,"
he says, one can hardly realise
how the brush gains headway without
them. To get the best results in clear
ing brush off land they should be pas
tured with some other stock, such .as
hcep or cattle."
