ly modest woman, toward the verge OF
disaster; and to be married but accent
yates that knowledge and narrows the
limit OF her yenturing,
We would not detract from the least
prercgative Of good womanhcod nor
deny a single claim the sex holds against
our manhood by any right, be it'diviueg
or humanity instituted; but as point
OF literal justice between people OF equal
discernment and patent knowledge OF
right and wrong, there is no feather
weight of diiferencw when the measure
OF real guilt is assumed. Society does
well to cast about our girls and women
the aegis Of every qualification that
shall be construed in their defense and
to enforce the observance of its every
dictate in this behalf; until the woman
has voluntarily forfeited her right by
deliberately taking on the share OF guilt
that falls to her by reason of her COM
plicity. for then she leaves the prctec'
tion accorded her to take her chance
with the law she has offended. And, by
the way, it may be observed that the
law. in its dealing with women, is inf
nitely more generous than the society
that is supposed to protect them prim-
arily, for the law. duly invoked and
Justly administered, does acquit, does
pardon, does shield woman thus be-
leaguered. but society, as such. is re.
lentless in its damning.
A married woman is bereft of the
claim her single sister may present in
extenuation OF such laches; and neither
is entitled TO the weight of such plea,
if they. having arrived at the years OF
discretion, stihe their instructive mod
esty, and cast themselves down.
Man. of course, is so universally, in
nately. incorrigibly and inyincibly bad,
that there is nothing left to say for
him. He has no pleas, and dare not
use them ii he had. He is the incarna-
ton of all that is false in the usual ad-
iustment of these grave questions.

THE MEASURE OF GUILT.

The Oregonian, Of Sunday last, in the
course of its editorial treatment OF the
Reynolds murder case, takes the posi-
ton, most wisely and carefully, that the
woman in all such matters 10 equally
culpable, in all phases Of each case, from
the incipient sign Of preference she gives
the man who later becomes her para
mour and a party, one way or another
To the murder that follows, with the
guiltiest member Of the coterie. This
is timely and sensible departure from
the old and long-bome doctrine that the
woman is, by virtue Of her sex, immune
from the rigors Of responsibility and
guilt. We are glad the expression has
been made so unqualiAedly and at such
influential source.
There is not woman of legal years,
today, whose life has been passed in or
dinary contact with civilized rules and
conditions, who does not know, to a dot,
Just how far she may 60 as conscious

PORTLAND, Sept. sS.--The Oregon
State Fair last week was record
breaker in point of attendance, and the
speed contests were the best in the
history of the Fair and aroused even
more enthusiasm than when pools were
sold. The twelve new stables which
housed the splendid livestock exhibit
were visited by many thousands, there
being as many ladies as men present,
The displays of products OF the soil
were up to those in quality shown at
the Lewis & Clark Exposition, and the
crowds were admirably handled.
The citizens OF the great Harney
country have made an urgent appeal to
the people of all parts OF the State to
make special effort to visit Burns
October sth TO 18th. when their fair is
in session, and see the products OF Ore
gon's biggest county. An effort will be
made to send a delegation from Port
land. Artesian water has been found At
A depth OF less than three hundred feet
in Harney Valley and the people are re-
joicing.
No meeting devoted to irrigation has
attracted such general attention
throughout the United States as the
last convention of the National lrriga'
tion Congress at Sacramento, and Ore
gon is indebted to Malheur and Kla-
math Counties for making showing
which won big prizes and caused the
State to be generously advertised.
At least ten towns in Oregon have
established permanent exhibit rooms at
which good specimens of fruits, vege-
tables and other products are shown
Others are making temporary showing
on account of the large number of colo
nists taking advantage OF the low rates
now on, and in each instance 1t gives
the newcomers place to concentrate,
where they are assured a welcome and
as result large majority locate per-
manently.
Hon. Wilbur X. Newelrs hundred
words on Oregon fruit is splendid con-
densation of facts, and is being used in
the new printed matter Of several OF
the active commercial, bodies. This
statement Of Mr.. NewelPs is direct, ef.
fective and convincing.
The strongest assurance OF the growth
of many Oregon cities and towns dur
ing the last year is the large increase
shown inthe school enrolment, and
these school children in each and every
city, town and village OF the state are

CUPID IN BUSINESS.

The head of large clerical staff CON-
posed entirely Of women said: Though
they will not admit it nine girls out oi
ten look upon the business world as a
matrimonial field well worth eultiyating
Thousands enter it to find husband
and remain in it to avoid needing one.
Cupid does not find the average shop
or office eongenial atmosphere in which
to labor. Women who work shoulder
to shoulder with men have few illusions

say what you viii about the weakness
and creduality of old-fashioned women
| it is not kind hand that tears away
every illusion. With the departure Of
certain ideals, women realize that GER
tain reasons for their existence. certain
possibilities of happiness, have slipped
out of her grasp. The girl who has won
her first little commercial triumph at
twenty-three does not realize this, but
the woman of thirty-three or forty
three, who has drunk the full measure
of business success, does understand. and
suffers accordingly"
Said a woman who at comparatively
young age has scored success in field
which few women enter: "At twenty
five I returned to my native village
from college. had not decided on any
career, but when got back to the
quiet town something palled upon me.

followed another, but I didn't marry.
I found myself measuring men by their
business qualifications, and not by their
personal or domestic qualifications. At

were no longer interested in me as a
woman, but as dangerous business

A NATION OF "SUcKERSl"

4HcIe Is one tnlug Inc government iu-
quiry into the methods, business and
conditions of the Standard Oil Company
is doing, and that is, it's proving what
a nation of undiluted suckers" we are
the famous Yankees included. 1t will
dawn on us some day, and the day
should not be far distant, that, for a
supposedly bright, snappy, up-to-date
wary, critically business like lot, we are
just about the iumbest bunch in crea-
ton; and it is not along Standard Oil
lines. altogether, for the same assinine
policy is pre-eminent all along the cor
porate route OF dealing. We have "stood
pat with every conceivable swindle
that has been thrust out on us; we have
paid from 500 to 1000 per cent more than
our utilities have been worth, ungrudg.
ingly, stupidly, without thought OF
popular protest or organic preventive,
and have proven ourselves entirely
worthy OF the vast blanket-robbery that
has been cast over US.
The crux of the evil lies in our legis-
latures and our courts. We have been
sending any and every sort OF man, but
the right sort, to our state assemblies
and to Congress, to make laws for US,
and in so per cent of elective choices SO
made, we have been sold out to the cor
porate kings OF finance, clock, stock and
barrel" And, when oyertaken by the
consciousness, and resentment, of our
helplessness, we have appealed to the
courts, we have been sold out again, at,
practically, the same ratio.
There is not an American alive, to-
day, who should not thank God, hourly,
for the presence of such man as Theo-
dore Roosevelt at Washington, since it
is to him, and the few honorable col
leagues he has surrounded himself with,
we owe the cleaving wedge of admins
tration scrutiny into this fearful and
widespread evil.
He has set the ball of retribution
rolling, and if the public hand and con-
science do not keep it rolling to the
very end of this shameful inquiry and
course of reprisal, then we are, indeed,
a nation of puppets and unworthy OF re-
Lief. He, or a man of his school and
schooling, must be kept in the White
House for years to come; and then, to
preserve the blessedness of our freedom
won, the same clean and masterful kind
must be kept there perpetually, to ward
us against our own pitiful weaknesses
and the re-establishment of the dominion
Of sheer money.
1t is a far cry from little old Astoria
to the great centers Of trade and finance
and politics of the nation, but we send
It out in the vague hope it may meet
and blend with the same sensibility,
elsewhere, and gathering volumne and
momentum and the mantle of peoples
power, may reach the seats of the
mighty and waken the forces of COM
mon justice to the profound duty of the
hOuF.

RENEWING ELECTRIC BULBS.

A good deal Of curiosity is occasioned
when visitors to very high room or
auditorium wonder how it is possible
to reach the incandeScent bulbs when
they burn out. The explanation is the
use of long jointed pole, which can be
extended to a great length. At the up
per end of the pole is holder, con-
sisting of wire fingers, which open by
pulling a string and close tightly around
the bulb by means Of strings, the mo-

five dollars each. It consisted Of a

for only one rat. for after 1t had
killed one none OF his companions
would go near It again for long
