Letter from w. L. Kennedy.
Editor Press and Banner:


More than fifty. years, ago the British
Board of trade concluded that the lower they
could force down the price OF cotton the
more the American planters would De COM
incr. ased production would furnish In in.
creased supplies for their Mills and that
would afford additional leverage to be used
to make The price lower.
This policy was agreed upon and has been
adopted by all the Cotton Exchanges OF the
world and IT has been steadily and relent
lessly pursued ever since with various re.
suits. OF course season conditions have
have favored OF thwarted their purpose but
always there was loss to the planters not In
absolutely lower prices perhaps but In
prices below what conditions warranted.
This selfish and cruel and we may say
mistaken policy has cost the cotton growers
immence sums OF money or rather has pre-
vented them from realizing vast sums they
have honestly earned and to which they
were Justly entitled.
So great q difference has this made in the
cotton growing that mauy good Industrious
and economical people who ought now TO
be in independent circumstances or al least
we'll TO do find themselves and families
with scant living and In many cases short
OF the com mon comforts OF life. o.
Until very recently the results OF this mis-
erabe police have been accepted by COTTON
planters as decree Of fate, as the best they
could expect and something entirely beyond
their control.

CHIEDRENS SUICIDES STAR
TILE GERMANY.
Causes Sought for by the Leaders of
Thought In Rigid Discipline or
Weak Faith.

Weak Faith.
Berlin, Sept. 23.-Several distressing
instances of children's suicides have
occurred since the autumn school term
began. This has brought on a dis
cussion of the conditions of school and
home life and endeavors are being
made to trace the causes of that in
creasing feebleness of the desire to
live which it is affirmed the ll,000
suicides Of 1908 indicate.
The causes of suicides in Germany
are regarded as being exceedingly sub
tie and in the current discussions the
personal views on the subject have
generally been decided by the observ-
ers' opinions on other questions, the
Socialists account for the suicides by
economic conditions making it harder
to get subsistence, darkening life gem
orally and throwing shadows over the
lives of the children.
The clerical view is that the absence
of faith, the increase of irreligion and
the growth Of sensual materialism eX-
plain the weakening desire for life and
that a revival of spiritual aims would
lessen suicides by increasing the seren-
ity OF living.
Criticssof the school system assert
that children are forced too much: that
they are over-stimulated and are given
tasks which are impossible for accom-
plishments for those slightly below
the standard of capacity and that
punishments, the fear o. reproofs and
injury to self-pride push the child to-
wards suicide, to which he often hears
his elders refer as refuge. An in
stance is given of l2-year-old boy
who had failed to do a Latin exercise
properly aud was sent home to his
father. The boy the moment he en-
tered his fathers room shot himself,
In identical circumstances another
boy threw himself out of window.
The total number of children's sui.
cides in Germany during II years
was 747, just under AZ annually.

Bremerton world-famous. Portlands
sailor boarding house scandals, North
End disgrace and saloon rule have
been knocked silly by sensible
sheriff and by the election of mayor

1t is the beginning of new era of
morals in the entire state. Cities all
over the state have their ears to the
ground. listening to the result in
Portland. and will take hope just in
proportion to the success Of the moral
campaign in the metropolis.
The election of Harry Lane as
mayor of Portland in opposition to
the one great historical character of
the state. George H. Williams, means
more than merely a municipal fight
in Portland--it means a quickened
conscience and a reawakened moral
sense throughout the state.
1t will act as pebble dropped in

spread and touch the fartherest bor-
ders of the state.
Pendleton, Baker City, La Grande,
Ashland Eugene, Salem, Astoria, and
every other city of any Importance in
the state are watching and listening
for results from Portland. The peo-
pie of the metropolis have sounded
the clarion of a new moral era and
friends Of better morals are awaiting
to hear from that battle-ground.
The day of the gambler and tinhorr

PLACE THE RESPONSIBILITY

Visiting farmers who come to
Portland this year will ask what is
being done along the line of farm ex-
periments in oregon.
What will Portland answer? Why,
that through Portland's knocking and
Willamette valleys selfishness. the
experiment station in Eastern Ore
gon's richest valley has been aban-
-doned.
School teachers and educators will
ask what is being done in the state
to train teachers for the public
schools. What will Portland answer?
Why, that through Portland's
knocking and Willamette valleys
selfishness all the normal training
schools in the state are to be closed
for lack of funds.
No wonder Eastern Oregon coun-
ties are slow to place their exhibits
and take little interest in the fair.
No wonder they are discouraged and
sick at heart and are tagging behind
in disgust. The agitation in Portland
and the willamette valley has caused
the states money invested in normal
schools and experiment farm in East
ern Oregon to be withdrawn and
those institutions abandoned. Car
Eastern Oregon counties take verJ
deep interest in working for the pro
motion of Portland and her CONNER
cial expansion, when Portland anc
her great morning daily have caused
such disaster to these outlying coun
ties?
The Oregonian has roasted ever!
country paper that has dared to ques
ton the fair management. or Port
lands action. yet that paper is direct
Iy responsible for the abandonment
of the state experiment farm and tn
closing of the normal schools.
Its covert attacks on these institu
tions by suggestions, inuendo an
hints, has caused handful of selfisl
Willamette people to force the stat
to abandon its Eastern Oregon insti
tutions.
Let US not mince words but plac
the responsibility where it belong
and make the facts plain to visitors
that they may know the truth.
Portland has ten times enough idl
money lying in her vaults to kee
the normal schools and the exper
ment farm alive until the next legii
lature meets But is one cent Of
available for the purpose? She do'
not want to let them live.

People coming from the east ask
why living expenses are 50 high in
the cities of the Pacific coast, while
in the small towns and country dis
tricts of the interior, living expenses
are very reasonable. There is only
one answer. The presence Of so
many saloons in the cities forces up
rents and causes an advance in all
other lines, in order that merchants
may pay abnormal rents and remain
In business. There is over 500 per
cent profit in glass of whiskeY and
saloon men can afford to pay 800
per month for a 10-foot room, while
the merchant who makes but 20 to
40 per cent cannot sell goods and
compete with the saloon man for
good location. The consequences are
that saloons occupy many OF the
choicest business locations, force mer-
camille lines into inferior locations
and force up the cost of every article
sold. The merchant Is absolutely
forced to sell high in order to remain
in business. In the country to"ns
where this competition is less marked
living expenses are no higher than II
