these things are nothing compared with
the new trust on styles, for combing the

that bugbear on every woman's dress
makers bill?
Women like myself will either have to
wear gunnysack clothes or take to the
woods. FASHIONS Slave
This is truly alarming, but if tho
women are not brave enough and infu-
entail enough to resist this encroach-
ment upon their rights and liberties,
to affect the situation9 After all the
lamentation over their crippled political
condition, the women are the most po-
tent factor in society, and if the SEN
sible ones among them have not infu-
ence enough to protect themselves and
all their sisters from the unreasonable
demands of nonsensical styles, Of what
use is it to appeal to mere men, altho
they happen to run newspapers9
Inasmuch as organization is the Sc
cret of much success in these latter
days, why would it not be good plan
to organize against the double width
thirty-yard dress9 An organization of
that kind ought to attract lots of "iin-
ers. - And where are the women "a
clubs and the state and national fed
erations, and women's councils, and
mothers congresses and all the other
forms Of organized femininity that are
supposed to do so much to elevate
womankind and deliver it from it's
weaknesses and foibles? Have they nc
relation to thing so practical as this;
have they exerted no influence which
will prepare their members to assert
their freedom in the mere matter of the
width Of skirt against the tyrannies
OF fashion? The journal declines
to Interfere in "family matters.'

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THJNK
The Speed Of Automobiles.
To the Editor Of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal,
I want to state what some of nv
ideas are regarding the reckless driving
of automobiles within the city limits. The
accident Friday night at the Peavey
fountain in Kenwood should it seems to
me, awaken every citizen to the realiza-
ton of the danger that every man.
woman and child IS in each time he ven
lures upon the streets and bouevards
OF this city, whether afoot, horseback or
In carriage or streetcar, and to the ne
cesslty of taking immediate action look
ing toward protection from the outrages
OF large share of the Automobiles. It
is to be regretted that anyone was hurt
IN that accident, but, We can congratu-
late ourselves that they did not run into
some carriage and hur1 it's innocent &C.
cupants into eternity j.
Until we have laws governing the sneei1
of automobiles and executives who will
see to the enforcement of them, we shall
frequently have accidents wherein not
only the occupants of the automobiles,
out other innocent persons will not only
be manned but killed outright. We have
ordinances regulating the speed thai
horses shall be driven and our policemen
take pains that those laws are complied
win. II the public demand it vigor-
ously, similar laws both state and mu-
llclpai Would be passed and the officers
would see that they were enforced. Il -.
we are entering upon a political cam
pa1gn and soon political parties will plac
IN nornina ton candidates for citv coun-
Gil mayor Office and our state legisla :
ture, and. I believe that it would be pol
ICY for the people Of this county at this
time, in the interests Of the lives of the
inna pltants of the county, to take this
matter up fearlessy, and vigorously and
insist upon proper laws, and the enforce
ment thereof. l feel confident that this

Democratic Heroism and Coward

ice.
A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post has put this political is
sue of unsafeness in such an effective
manner that it puzzles that ardent sup
porter Of Judge Parker seriously.
The correspondent notes the Post s
disposition to praise Judge Parker's
action in sending his gold telegram as
having been heroic in the highest de-
gree. But when attention is called to
his two votes in 1896 and 1900 for a
silver candidate on silver platform,
it is urged by Mr.. Parker's apologist
that he may have had motives to JUS
tify such votes. It is not claimed that
he had justifable motives, but that he
may have had them.
Now, says this correspondent, if
Judge Parker's telegram was intended
to be heroic, was it because he risked
danger of some kinds Would it have
been heroic for Theodore Roosevelt to
send such a telegram to the Chicago
convention7 Of course not, because Mr..
Roosevelt knew that the convention
agreed with him on the gold standard.
Would it not, therefore, follow that
Judge Parker 8 so-called heroism is to
be measured as to it's intensity by the
proportionate unreliability of the dem
ocratic party on the question of sound
| money, and the degree of danger that
the party would repudiate it's candi-
date9 If the party was safe and sound
on the money question, certainly Judge
Parker ran no hazard in sending his
gold telegram. If the party is extreme
| 1y unsafe and unsound on this ques-
ton, then it may be admitted that the
judge risked having the nomination
taken away from him, and that his act
was heroic to the degree of that dan
ger, and his act depended for it's hero
ism upon the unsoundness Of his party.
| 1t, therefore, follows that any one who
would insist upon awarding to Judge
Parker any credit for heroism in that
connection must admit the serious I'M
safeness and unsoundness of his party.
This is phase Of the matter which
has not been brought out very prom,
inently by those democratic papers
which are loudest in their praise of
Judge Parker, and possibly the praise
which they have heaped upon him might
not have been bestowed so literally if
they had stopped to think Of the other
side Of the proposition, and how point
edly it brings out what the president
discusses so effectively in his letter OF
acceptance-the absence Of any settled
convictions in the democratic party
with regard to the money question. As
the president says:
Men who hold sincere convictions OF
vital questions can respect equally sin
cere men with whose views they RADICAL,
differ; and men may confess change O
faith without compromising their homo
or their self-respect. But it is difficult t.
respect an attitude of mind such as ha
been described above Zone, Of ineXpedi
ency in asserting any conviction) ant
where there is no respect there can be n.
trust. A policy with SO slender bash
of principle would not stand the strain o
q single year of business adversely.
And this is the principal point which
has been brought out by the extrava
CANT praise bestowed upon Judge Par
ker for something which he could no
avoid.

volume of traffic would decline and the
employment of our shipping would fall
off. Furthermore, we might expect that
our shipping would be Disseminated
against correspondinglY by the imposi-
tion of foreign charges against cargoes
in American ships.
AS the matter stands now, not more
than 100000 tons of imports would be
affected by favoring tariffs, while 90
rendered liable to hostile treatment by
foreign nations!
AS to this matter of discrimination,
we may have occasion to use it for a
very different purpose. If, for example,
Great Britain should take the initiative
in imposing discriminating duties upon
American imports in the interest Of her
colonies it would be within the power Of
our government to take advantage of an
old statute permitting the infection Of
discriminating tariffs upon cargoes
brought by indirect trade from coun-
tries discriminating against our prod
ucts and thus retaliate for any disad-
vantages which may be imposed upon
our commerce in carrying out the Cham
berlain scheme.
Mr.. Stevens has been asked to pre-
pare memorial to congress setting
forth the ideas advanced by him for
consideration, and, if approved, for in
dorsement by the commercial bodies of
the northwest. He certainly has raised
an important question and probably has
averted a serious mistake on the part of
business interests which seem to have
been inclined to accept the theory of
discriminating duties as proper one
to apply to the benefit Of our merchant
marine.

A PAYING WASHINGTON INDUSTRY

Cascara bark peeling has become an
active industry in the forests. of western
washington. The bark is taken from the
paroerry and chittimwood trees that grow
profusely in the Grays Harbor district. ~
has commercial value of cents a.
pound. An ordinary tree yields from fifty
to one hundred pounds of the dried bark.
whole families are engaged in collecting
the bark and selling to dealers. Some
men make IS a day at the work. Entire
sections are contracted by eastern buy
ers and peelers engaged to supply the
bark. There is talk of petitioning the
legislature to enact laws for preserving the
trees, which are more valuable than any
timber grown in the, native forest The
bark Is used for medicinal purposes. 1t
is estimated that one pound Of dry bark
Will make enough liquid extract to sell for
