Portland Should Be Shunned

Mrs. Charles Day, of Toledo,
passed through Corvallis last Fri.
day, en- route for Portland, where
she went to nurse her son, Fred,
who was shot last week by a band
of thugs who held up a street car
in the suburbs of THAT city. The
shooting was done without cause
or provocation. 1t was feared at
first that the wound would prove
fatal, but the announcement is
now made that.recorery is proba-
BILE.
Portland has suffered for sever
al months from an epidemic of
lawlessness, which her police
force seems powerless to control.
Holdups have been frequentin in the
very heart of the city, and murder
has been added to the long list of
crime. Failure to capture the
offenders has emboldened them
and attracted others of their kind,
SO that the city is overrun with
thugs, who Sply their trade Sc
cure in the belief that the police
either cannot or will not nolest
them. sgx~
! 7It is diflcu't t to say from this
distance where the responsibility
lies, 1 or what steps should be
taken to correct the evil, but
Portland should be Stunned un-
til she can offer protection to Wis
itors within her gates.

WOMEN AS STREET CAR coNDUc.
 TORS.

4 IORS, s--' t. In this city all the street car conduc- tors are women bright, intelligent and
 courteous, and in every way efficient, giving satisfaction to the company which employs them and to patrons.
 The city has had women conductors for several years, ever since horses gave way to troIleys and passengers
 were no longer expected to drop their fares in a box. The conductors have never organized a union or gone out on strike. They never have any trouble
 with their passengers. The force consists of seven regulars.
 one extra, and one relief. Their only uniform is the shirtWaist and their badge of authority is ribbon with the word Conductor printed on it. Some
 of them wear this pinned around neat white caps, and others wear it on pic- ture hats. They enjoy a day off every week, and one Sunday off in every seven weeks. Their working hours are arranged on a complex schedule that makes their longest days work that from 6:30 a. m. to 10:30 D. m., with for ty-five minutes off at noon. Their pay is $5 a week.
 The conductors like the work and are hardened to all the jests made by the facetious. They get on famously with the motormen, and with the male pas sengers, who frequently make them
 selves useful when trolley jumps the
 wire. The conductors seldom give up their jobs, except when they marry, and not always then.-Chillicothe (o.) Correspondence Philadelphia Press.

FOURTH OF JULY DEATH ROLL.
And the Absolute Folly of Such Meth.
 ods of "Celebrating.

ods of Celebrating
 While considering the statistics of the. Fourth of July casualties it is inpor- tant to bear in mind one important diff ference between armed forces. A very much larger percentage of those who are at first reported as wounded will die from Fourth of July hurts than in time of war. According to the statistician of the Chicago Tribune, who has kept the closest possible account of this matter, while only fifty-two persons were known to be killed outright by Indepen- dence day fireworks, at least one hun-. dred and sixty-two deaths have oc- cured since then-up to its Saturday morning issUe-from lockjaw caused by fireworks wounds It is known that several deaths have occurred from te-. tanus since the Tribune's report was summarized, and probably there were some before that of which it did not learn, and so it would not be surprising if the total of fatalities to date were as high as two hundred and fifty, four fifths of them having been the result of comparatively slight wounds. This is { ct TIE Sutlul pSISSilIoSC VI 1denL WOulio ings to outright deaths, and has never been equalled on any battlefield, in whatever state of savagery the oppos- ing armies met each other. Thus it is evident that the yearly outcry against the barbarous Fourth, if accompanied by statistics, must take into account the long trail of deaths following the day itself. There appears to be no known limit to the period of the devel- opment of tetanus. Deaths from this disease have occurred several weeks af- ter the infiiction of slight wounds by ex- ploding fireworks.
 The grave question confronts the en- tire country whether it is worth while to permit so-called patriotic displays annually at this cost for the sake of sentiment which has absolutely no solid foundation whatever. That sentiment is that it is kindly to allow the boys to stfiave their fun" The annual death roll shows that 1t is about the most costly fun the boys could have. If the reform cannot be worked out by persuading and educating and disciplin- ing the boys, together with their adult encouragers, out of barbarous, danger ous forms of celebration, then 1t must be accomplished through prohibitive laws. Especially must the law against the sale of toy pistols be enforced where written, and enacted where not

The larger percentage of te- janus deaths can be traced to them, and it is painfully evident from the re- ports from all cities that if there are laws in force against their sale they are generally disregarded.
