A Bachelors Anxiety.

Every once in while bachelor bobs
up with question of the highest privi-
lege, rs the married man perfectly
happy9o THERE'S one in New York now
who is offering a thousand dollar bill
to any married man who will come for
ward and depose that he has never
known a moment of discomfort with his
lot.
This is an unfair proposition and the
bachelor knows it. It is the years that
make up life and not the moments, and
1t is the average Of experience that de-
cides for happiness or unhappiness, not
the night the furnace quits at IL 0 CLOCK
or the afternoon that you forgot to meet
your wife at the matinee. There is not
married man who will not be asked by
his wife to get this bunch of dol
lars for her by deposing and swearing
and there is not a married man who will
not depose or swear. This bachelor
will soon be penniless if he does not
draw down his offer, and have to marry
nice woman to recoup his fortunes.
There are two or three questions sug-
gested by this bachelor def. First and
foremost we should like to know why
the laws of our country are so lax that
a bachelor has thousand dollars to use
in undermining the substrataof soci,
ETY.? Why does not the government
take#$it away, from him on the. ground
that it is against public policy for him
to use it in that waya Aszswell give
man license to carry torch among
freproof buildings as to let loose a
bachelor with a thousand dollar bill and
such a question. r3.,..T H.
~ Secondly, it is proper to inquire why
is this bachelor so curious? Why should
it be worth a thousand dollars to him to
learn whether married men are happy
or not9 @'Let the CALLED jade vince, his
withers are unwrung.'' Isn't every
bachelor satisfied with his lot, and ism u
every bachelor sure that the married
man is in the consomme9 Really, when
man offers such an unheard-of (to a
married many sum for information, it
looks as if he was shaky.

The Journal Junior.

This is the tenth anniversary of The
Journal Junior as a department of T e
Journal and the eighth anniversary
Of the elevation of this unique and very
successful juvenile department into the
form and dignity of a paper conducted
by and for the children Of the public
schools. 1t has therefore seemed ap-
propriate to mark the occasion by spe-
cial edition today of double the regular
size - y
We have. evidence that all kinds Of
people interested in all kinds of things
read this juvenile paper, and we ex-
pect that two classes in particular-pa-
rents and teachers-wil be especially in
terested in the current number Hun
dreds of expressions of high apprecia-
ton OF the plan and character of The
journal Junior have been received from
both the classes named. A very few
OF those received, unsolicited, we have
taken the liberty to make use of for the
purpose of explaining and emphasizing
an important service to the rising gen
GRAFTON which this juvenile department
has already rendered, and is now per-
forming more successfully than ever be-
fore.
In view Of the criticism often made
OF the efficiency of the public schools,
particularly in the teaching Of English,
it is interesting to note the testimony
of the editor Of The Journal Junior on
this point; and certainly no one is in
a position to speak from larger expert
ence and knowledge of the subject.
With an average Of 1900 manuscripts a
week received in the office of The Jour-
nal Junior from public schools all over
the northwest, it can hardly be said
that the means of forming a fair judg-
ment are not at hand. -.' g.. ..-. .
Then there is the work itself in this
lssue-the work of the HJuniors' of
today representing no more than fair
average, and Of the young people who
contributed in former years, but who
are now either in the colleges and uni
versities or in business or at the head
of homes of their own.
The Journal Junior is success; it
has arrived. On this tenth anniversary
it spreads before the public the work
of the pupils of the public schools of
the northwest with genuine pride in
the product and not little satisfaction
in the recognition accorded by distin-
guished educators Of the part which it
| has played in influencing the character
Of the work done.

Favorable Business Outlook.

One item of very favorable import
stands out prominently in all business
summaries of the week, the statement
that collections are especially good in
| the northwest. Over the country, ON
the whole, there is satisfactory state
of trade, even tho it is noted that dis
| tributive lines are less active than
might be desired, and the movement of
merchandise from points of production
to consumptive centers, is not in all
cases lively enough to effect a quick
cleanup. There is, however, no con-
gestion, and no likelihood of overproduc
ton. 1t is between-seasons time in
distributive trade, spring demand not
yet fairly started and buyers going a lit
tie slow. This should shortly give way
to buying activity, and stocks at manu-
featuring centers, now reported as
showing some accumulation, should be
drawn down.
Meanwhile it is interesting to note
that of all sections the northwest is
quicker to pay up, and that little diff
Guilty is experienced in making collec-
tions. The south is not in such good
condition, for declines in cotton have
operated for conservatism and have
created stringency in some districts,
making it harder to effect prompt set
| tlement Of accounts.
The northwest is the favored section,
| and has more ready money, relatively,
than any other. When once the spring
trade opens here, there will be buying
! on large scale, and opportunity for
new northwestern jobbing records will
be afforded.
/ The east is freer from labor troubles
! than for long time, and the New
| England industrial situation is looking
up.
Speculation is rampant in stocks, and
the bank clearings in New York show
increase this week of SO per cent, large
| ly' due to financial transactions. Stocks
have been rising for long time, with
temporary setbacks only, and the fever
being on, there is no predicting how
long it will run, or to what high levels
prices may be carried before the in
evitable reaction comes.
1t has been a bad week for the bulls
in wheat. Receipts at Minneapolis
have been running altogether heavier
than they had predicted, and this has
been a powerful argument for decline.
With this Argentine has begun to ship
heavily. So far it is largely a guess
as to Argentine, and whether or not she
is to have surplus equal to last year is
not certain. This is the season, how
ever, when Argentine begins to increase
her movement to Europe. A year ago
on Jan. %, the first big figures came
from Argentine, and from that time on,
every week until March, she shipped
heavily. When the report for last
week, showing shipments of 1,l76,OOO
bushels came to hand, the trade took it
as indication of the beginning Of an
other continued heavy movement, and
it was under the influence of this and
other weakening reports that Minneapo-
lis May wheat sold down to $l.13
against the recent price Of $1.19A.

Newspapers in a Democracv.

John Morley, the distinguished Eng
lish historian and biographer of Glad
stone, who has just returned home after
long visit in the United States, has
declared in a public speech his belief
that "reading abundant newspapers
was not an illegitimate, but an entirely
wholesome process" Defining democ-
racy as government by public opin-
ion, - he reminded his hearers that pub
lie opinion in all classes was in constant
| need Of stimulation and Improvement.
He cited daily newspapers as highly
valuable agencies Of such stimulation.
In fact, he went further and declared
that men living in the open air and I'M
der the broad skies of public activity
could not understand nor find their way
thru the meanings and tendencies of
that activity without newspapers.
But the public, he said, was not get
ting all it should out of the newspapers
because it read them cursorily, thought
lessly. His recommendation was that
newspaper classes be formed in which,
each evening, someone take the events
all over the world recorded that dav
and explain what they were all about.
He believed libraries to be the best
places for such classes, for there the
| librarian could take from the shelves
groups of books bearing upon what
CHANGED to be the chief topics Of the
week. =
In democracy, governed by public
opinion, the necessity of acquiring exact
information concerning things which
are of Importance to that democracy
is, indeed, great. Every day there are
events in every part Of the United
States, particularly in the national and
state capitals, that are Of Importance
to the public. The average citizen
cannot make a personal investigation
Of the course Of the government in any
particular matter, altho his interest in
it may be vital. He watches the news
papers, and from their reports of the
actions of the men he has helped into
public office, decides whether they are
doing their full duty, or whether others
should be chosen in their places to
| guard his and his neighbor' s interests.
There are points even higher than
these. If they are well-informed and
are thinkers, the people shape national
and state policy. The president and
congressman then become merely depu-
ties for the expression in deed Of the
desire of the citizens. Even in the
matter Of foreign affairs the actions Of

lie he concludes there are exceptional
circumstances, he may change the

Shoots Testimony.

Senator Reed Smoot is not fool, After
having heard number Of prophets and
prophetesses testify, and after having
noted that the air 81 the committee

came, to put up brand IF evidence that

odor. After reading his, remarks the
public will see in .smqotTa brother to the
but had not worked at 1T for two years.
Smoot confesses he has been a Mormon,
but he does not seem to have taken
much interest in itrnor acquired much
knowledge about the church. He took
the endowment oaths, but cannot recol-
lect anything about them. He was an
apostle, but never heard that Smith ct
al. had contracted polygamous marriages
after 1890, until. they testified to it.
He had heard of religious classes being
| held, but didn It know that they were
held in school buildings,
On. the cross-examination begun by
Mr.. Taylor, Senator Smoot was not so
happy, and he was distinctly uncomfort-
able when Senator Burrows questioned
him. The senator asked him if he I'M
derstood President Smith was disobey-
ing the law, and Mr.. Smoot replied: 81
do not so understand. it, His memory
refreshed on Smith s own testimony
that he had had eleven children by five
! different wives since 1890, Smoot again
answered evasively:@ 81 could not say
that he has lived with these wives''
Confronted with Smith s own admission
that he had, Smoot answered reluctant
ly: ut was violation of the law
This kind of testimony shows disin-
genuousness on the part of the defend
ant. Of course, he knew what Smith g
testimony was. He apparently wants
to disassociate himself from the foul
practices Of his church, just far enough
to be eligible to the senate, and not
ineligible to the favor of the hierarchy.
Evidently he realizes that the bold and
disgusting testimony Of Smith was
grand mistake, but he is too much under
the thumb Of the First Presidency to
denounce the man who gave it. IS.
Polygamous Mormons, tho they may
be numerically in a minority, are the
rulers Of Utah, and disloyalty exudes
from every pore Of the polygamist.
Whether Smoot can be legally shut out
of the senate because of his Mormon
connections is a constitutional question,
but there can be very little reason to
doubt that he is there as the tool and
errand boy of the. polygamnists, what

pose the circumstantial evidence in the
Koch case had been stronger. Most
jurors would hesitate long while be-
fore voting to hang a man on circum-
stantial evidence. If allowed to fix
the penalty at life imprisonment, they
would look at the matter in a different
light. While there is life there is hope,
and if the prisoner should be innocent,
time would tell.
The legislature would do well, it
seems to T he ] ournal, in amending
the law to permit juries to select the
penalty for prisoners convicted Of muir
der. The jury is capable Of deciding
what penalty is merited by the crime,
and the exercise Of this option would
often avert disagreements and the nee
essary retrials.
