MAIL CLERKS CAN'T TALK.

Concerning the oppression of postal
employees by political bosses, who con-
troll patronage, a dispatch from Spo-
kane says:
The Chronicle states today that the
recent action Of the postoffice depart
ment in filming two railway mail clerks
for public criticism of railway is re-
sulting in an organized effort among
the clerks to secure the right of free
dom of speech. At present the de-
plrtment insists that all criticism af-
fectirg the service or the railways
carving the mails, should go thru
the department alone, fines having
been imposed because of letters writ
ten to a newspaper.
1t is stated that the mail clerks
from Spokane to Los Angeles are
shaping plans to secure congressional
action which will abolish such rules
The trouble arose because of criticism
of the condition of the Great Northern
track near Chain Lake, where a fata
wreck occurred in July.

THE WORLD Is SMALL.

IL a letter. from the heart of Ara
hia. Homer Davenport says that maps
and political divisions of the world
are but temporary and useless bounds
between peoples. and that over all
and thru all the world, the same spirit
of kinship, of brotherhood runs as a
golden thread.
Davenport sat at the fireside of a
desert shiek and told him, thru an
interpreter. tales cf his old home in
Oregon. his mother and his father and
his childhood. Tears ran down the
face of the old sheik, and he said that
he, too, had had similar experiences
and had loved and cherished home
and parents as had this white man
from the other side of the world.
They were no longer strangers The
same warm impulses ran thru their
lies, the same loves and hatred, aspi-
rations and dreams had stirred alike
the American and the desert king.
After all, it is one little family.
Races, countries, customs, govern
ments are but parts of the household
Of the world.

BIRTH OF THE FAIR SPIRIT.

Everybody who has seen the Una
tilla- Morrow county fair, says 1t will
be better next year, altho it is excel
lent this year. More time will be
taken in collecting exhibits, people
will know how and where to begin
and will know what they want for ex-
hibit purposes, and in what condition,
and next year will see even a more
magnificent display of the resources
of the two countries than Is seen this
week.
The fair spirit has Just had its birth
in these counties. This is but the
beginning of the fair agitation and
development. The commissioners yes
terday met and mutually pledged to
keep it alive. nurture it, develop 1t, in
spire 1t with new life from year to
year and make 1t a mirror of the in
dustrial resources of the counties.
This Is the compact by which the
fair will grow and mature. The COM
mission is compozed of earnest, prac-
tical men who have learned lesson.
this year which will blossom int
fruitage next year.

uowELrs on SPELLING,

In the September number of Har-
his reasons Tor advocating spelling
reform:
Let each who has the common well
fare and happiness at heart spell as
he likes, at this time or that, without
regard to the way he spelled at any
other time, he says. His widest vag-
ary will not be worse than the usage
established by authority and conse-
Grated by superstition.
He could scarcely blunder into any
thing more offensive than the forms
he learned by heart with tears of an
guish in childhood, and in manhood
employed with a never-passing fear
that he had not after all obeyed at
eve the misleading voice obeyed at
prime
1t would be we'll for each to begin
the righteous revolt by spelling his
own name in the varicrum fashion of
Shakespeare, or Shakespear, or
SHAKESPEARE as he indifferently wrote
himself, The great point is for peo-
PIE to write their names in as many
different forms as possible, after the
manner of the great poet, who must
have been prescient of some such
method of reform in the far future
as we have been forecasting.
As it is, we do not spell at all. We
memorize the outward shape of words
and put their Infinitely repellent par.
ticles" together as wSll as we can re-
member how to put them together as
we learned them; probably the man
and certainly the woman, does no
live who has never felt a doubt as t
his or her spelling of some word anC
hesitated single letter in place o
a double one.
Only those who have received tn,
training Of printers can feel at all Sc
cure OF themselves, perhaps, becauzt
their wicked tribe invented the de
formity of our spelling, and has in
herited the secret of it.

THIS Is CRATE REGULATION ;

Under the railroad rate bill, Stand
ard Oil officials can be given free
passes on all railroads because tina
pipe lines of the Standard Oil are
common carriers and common carriers
are permitted to give and accept free
passes among themselves. Then John
D. Rockefeller is one shipper who does
not have to pay his way. But 1t Is
one-sided arrangement. John D. can
take, but he cannot give. AS the Bos-
ton Herald says, no railroad man
would care for free transportation
through the old pipes, smooth as
might be the way. It's a great thing
to be the owner of a pipe line. Get
you one.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

SOCIAL Discomfort.

The following item from the Wall
Street Journal concerning the $4,000
900 mansion of Henry C. Frick, the
steel magnate, is a sample of the kind
of propaganda which is making more
socialism and social discomfort in this
country, than any other form of agi-
tation.
The Journal says:
1.-The summer home just completed
at Pride's Crossing, Mass, by Henry
C. Frick, Of Pittsburg, is attracting
much attention. 1t costs, approx
mately. 100000, and to utilize the
stte residence worth $4,000 was de-
molisht.
'It cost Mr.. Frick $4,000 to fence
in his estate of 27 acres, and the sta
BILE for the mansion is worth the tidy
sum Of 100000, and is 115 by IS feet
bilt Of gray sandstone, and Its heigh
is the equivalent of the modern four
story house.
"The mansion itself is 100 by s,
feet on the plan. and is of gray ston
and brick. 1t requires $50 servant
and other employees to do the worl
on the premises"

WOULD ELIMINATE GRAFT.

Government ownership of railroads
would eliminate graft in the handling
of mails, for the government
would be only interested in handling
of mails for the government, would
be only interester in handling mail
as cheaply as possible and there would
be no powerful railroad lobby in con-
gress to prejudice legislation.
1t would eliminate graft in railroad
bilding becauze the government would
own all railroads bilt and there would
be no speculation in railroad bonds
nor manipulation of congress to in
flate such bonds for securing unjust
profits for private owners.
Where is there a chance for specu-
lation in the postoffice system? Where
is there a record of any terrible calam-
ity hecauze the government owning
and conducting the postoffice depart
ment from the mail boxes on the
street corners to the postofflce bild-
ing in the national capital9
Government ownership, instead of
encouraging the dishonesty and graft
of the past. under private ownership,
twouli remove that menace and make
the railroads one of the parts of gov
ernment, the same as the postoffica
department, the treazury department
or the printing department.
The same rugged, vigorous, capable
class of men who run these prezent
departments of the government can
run the railroad, department with the
same practical spirit and with the
same excellent rezults.
The rezuiis of private ownership OF
the railroads is seen in Portland
where the big systems are fighting foi
entrance into that city. Portland
) should be d city of 100000 people to-
day, with her magnificent resources
; both Industrial and commercial, bu
a lack OF proper facilities and the ex
istence of excessive rates, by sea anC
! land, have held her back at least q
years in her growth.
The profits which should have re
mained with the producer to help hin
develop the state are sent to Wal
street to make ammunition for tn
, railroad lobby in Washington, whlcl
is employed to check any Legislation
; which threatens to regulate or re
: strain the lust of the trusts.
Under government ownership Port
land would have adequate facilitle
and reasonable rates. There woul
be no rival systems to make her pros
: perity and welfare victim of thei
! disastrous wars

Where youth and joy and love come

Is Disease a Crime Z?

Not very long ago, popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal
Certain II Is, that much of the sickness
and suffering Of mankind Is due TO the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But TO say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal 70
every reasonable Individual as radically
wrong
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load OF household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various diSplacements OF pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing Of children. with its OK.
acting demands upon the system coupled
with the care. worry and labor OF rearing
large family. is often the cause of weak
nesses, derangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares
and the hard. and never-ending work which
the mother is called upon TO perform Dr.
Pierce, the maker OF that world famed REM
edy for womans peculiar weaknesses and
ills-Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription-say
hat one of the greatest obstacles to the cure
OF this class OF malsdies Is the fact that the
poor, over-worked housewife can not get the

An Able Speaker

The Mems Club of the Methodist
church enjoyed a rare treat last Mon
day evening when they listened to a
paper read by President kildahl of st.
Olaf college. The subject of the paper
was THE aristocracy and the common
people, but the writer gave a differ
ent definition than that in general use
The common people he defined as
those who did common things, be-
cause it was the common or usual
thing to do; in other words, those who
drift with the tide or travel along a we'll
worn rut. The aristCCracy is defined
as those who do what they believe to
be right, regardless Of the popular
clamor or applause: who stand out
boldly against doing common things
simply because they are common, and
do what they do because it seems to
them the right thing to do. He cited
Moses and Daniel, in Bible times, as
true aristocrats and later Martin
Luther, and in moderntimes Theodore
Roosevelt. The paper was a scholarly
one, we'll written, forcible in expression
in excellent language and delivered in
a name to hold the closest attention
throughout. Those who listened to it
were unanimous in their praise and
expressions of qualification at being
able to improve the opportunity to
hear such a paper. The paper read is
really a lecture that President KIldahl
has prepared for delivery at Lake
Mills, Iowa, and Bookings, S. D.,
some time next month. If those COM
munities know the nature of the treat
that is in store for them, there will
not be a hall large enough to hold
those who will wish to here the lecture.
