THE SAFER sen.

On IA capital stock of $4,000 the bank
of Joplin, in Missouri. reports $780,
600 in surplus funds; deposits, $476,-
579; interest and exchange, $5.S11.
The banks cashier, assistant cashier
and three bookkeepers are women.
In the state of Iowa are at present
IA women bank cashiers and Is
women assistant cashiers. Two-thirds
of these officials started as bOOkkeep-
ers. No Iowa bank directed by wo-
man has ever failed and no woman
placed in a bank position of trust has
proved unfaithfuL And this in a state
which has seen SO bank failures in
five years, leading to six suicides and
six convictions in the criminal courts.
Ii has been said that in the small
things Of life-particularly in trifling
social emergencies-wom are more
| readily dishonest than men.
SO far as the evidence of two states
goes, the ratio of reliability in large
| affairs seems to turn the other way
The returns from Iowa and Missouri
should not be lost upon depositors ant
policy-holders elsewhere. 1t may be
/ necessary to demand for the common
good that banking and insurance af
fairs in general shall pass to the con.
! troll of the safer sex.

There has been too much secrecy

for the good of Oregon. The Ore
gonian is largely to blame for the
present condition of things in the state
by holding monopoly Of the news

The power of the dominant party

kept in blindness through suppression
of facts by a partisan organ which
held a monopoly Of news in the state.
If the truth had been told by the
Oregonian, the Statesman, the Tele-

know the truth for the past two de-

THE BIGGEST SHIP AFLOAT is
AN OCEAN PALACE.

The new Hamburg American liner
Amerika, the largest ship afloat in
point of displacement, will dock at the
companys Hoboken piers about 4
o'clock this afternoon, says the New
York World. This is her first voyage
from Hamburg via Dover and Cher
bourg, and it is certain everything
afloat will loudly welcome her as slow
ly, majestically she steams up the bay.
The Amerika's tonnage is $4,000,
she carries 10000 tons of cargo,
enough to fill miles of freight cars.
She is GS7 feet long, "a feet inches
wide and SO feet deep. She is built
for the extreme of luxurious sea
travel, not for speed, and her running
time from land to land is seven days
Literally she is Delmonico's
afloat, an ocean Sherry's. In one way
she breaks the oldest tradition IN
steamship economy. She has great
restaurant la carte. where a passen-
ger can be served at any hour. The
floating restaurant is in the hands of
the Ritz Hotel company, which owns
the Hotel Ritz, Paris, and the new
Ritz and Carlton, London.
The restaurant a la carte is on the
sixth, the upper deck of the Amerika.
Such Il restaurant must recommend
itself to those whose appetite is uu-
certain at sea, as well as to the good
sailor who is Il gourmet. The first
can dine well when Neptune permits;
the second can tickle his palate with
dainties of his choice. Any one can
rent his stateroom and have his meals
served to order. Two decks below
the restaurant is the dining saloon.

he needs exercise there is gym

RELAPSE INTO BARBARISM.

An appalling criticism of the Lon
don of today is made by Charles Ed
ward Russell in the November Every
body's. In the foreword to his new
series of articles, Soldiers of the Com
mon Good" Mr.. Russell says:
And it will appear as strange and
awful fact that in the first of the
countries we are to consider in these
papers the Influence of civilization
has become so weak that in the CEN
ters of great modern cities surrounded
by wealth and sumptuous display.
millions of men and women are daily
and visibly relapsing into barbarism.
After a long descent from the race
most talked about and boasted of, and
after all the aids of the most advanc-
ed modern life. the fruit there is the
type of a dreadful creature, deformed
in body and mind. cursed with Inherit
ed disease, helpless and hopeless,
bringing into the world other Great
ures more wretched than himself
darkening the glass of civilization with
the sinister portent of his haggard
face.
at will appear that this product of
rapidly and becoming so threatening
that natural commissions are formed
to consider him and how to mitigate
the plague of him, and yet he in
creases, and yet all the excellent plans
and scheme that help others and light
en- other burdens never reach him nor
diminish his numbers nor take from
the national life the shadow of his
| presence.
at will appear, / trust. that he is
the natural and perfect product of the
| system of unchecked and Unsuitable
greed, of the system of class and caste
which forms England's problem as il
forms ours, and that these systems
having proceeded much farther and
existed much longer in England than
in the United States, it is possible for
us to stop now and consider whether
we really wish to erect Stepneys and
Clerkenwells in our own Cities

GODS ANSWER.

One in a time of trouble and of care
l dreamed I talked with God about
my pain;
With sleepland courage, daring to
complain
OF what / deemed ungracious and un-
fair.
Lord, | have groveled on my knees
in prayer
Hour after hour" 1 cried; yet all
in vain;
No hand leads up to heights would
attain,
No path is shown me out of my de-
spair."
Then answered God: Three things I
gave to thee
Clear brain. brave will and strength
of mind and heart,
All implements divine, to shape
the way.
why shift the burden Of thy toll on
me?
TIL to the utmost he has done his
part
With all his might. let no man
dare to pray"

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE NEEDED.

Idaho, although less wrought up
over the railroad assessment question
than Oregon. is leading Oregon in de-
termined efforts to secure higher valu-
atoms for corporation property.
A taxpayers league has been formed
at Moscow, for the purpose of starting
a general movement for higher values
of railroad property.
Other property pays more than its
proportion of the taxes. Railroads Sc
cure enormous incomes, pay enormous
dividends. fix their rates and fares
and demand cash on the spot before
you can ride a mile or take away your
goods from their warehouses, and they
should be made to pay at least an
equal proportion Of taxes.
oregon would be benefited by a
taxpayers league. SO far. individual
assessors and a few newspapers have
conducted the campaign for htgher
railroad values. The people who arc
directly affected by the great issue
have said but little to encourage thp
movement. The common run Of tdA
payers who bear an unjust burden
pay an unjust share. should form an
orgq nization such as is now starting
tr raaho.
II will encourage assessors anG
newspapers.

HOUSE OF BLOCKS.

The children built a house of blocks
And admired it duly;
With mlnarets, drawbridge and locks
1t was a marvel truly.
A truant breeze passed idly by,
AS If mans love 'twere wooing.
I saw the house all shattered lie
That breeze was its undoing.
Man tolls to build a structure fair,
Tolls on and never ceases;
A breath of SANDER wanders there,
And, 10! it lies in pieces;
And yet build high the fragile wallis
Your castle fair, inclose it
Far better he whose structure falls
Than he whose breath o'erthrows it

CRIMINAL SECRECY.
