IMPROVING COUNTRY LIFE.

A Rooseveltian move now on is
that to improve the country life of
the nation. A country life commits
sion is prepaing to start upon tour
and within a few weeks it is to take
a whirl through the west.
The itinerary of the commission
makes it jump from Sacramento to
Portland, from Portland to Spokane;
from Spokane to Boseman and thence
IN Omaha. At the same time an
other branch Of the commission will
b, holding meetings in the principal
cities Of the middle west.
The exact purposes Of the commits
sion are not clear to the East Ore
gonlan. II its object were to encour-
age better farming methods this pa
per would cordially support the
movement.
But seemingly the movement is Of
a more general nature. It may be so
general as to be useless. A shotgun
fired in the air seldom brings down
much game. The commission might
d. more effective work If it would
specialize. A general movement to
improve country life seems about on
a par with a movement to benefit
mankind
Better farming methods are needed
in the west Their Introduction
means greater profits for the farm
ers. q closer settlement Of the coun-
try and consequent benefits to all.
But as to country life, it is not bad.
Throughout the west, at least, the
farmers are a very happy, healthy.
contented lot In Umatilla county
they are weather. than their city
reighbors. Here the farmers ride in
auto cars while the townspeople walk.
Country life seems to take care Of
itself.
Then again, II the commissioners
are out to improve country life,

better II the commission would drop

country.
But perhaps these things will be

this city. From appearances, 1t is a
timely move and the people of the
community should do what they can
to make it effective.
waywardness on the part of boys
and girls, such as those affected by
the juvenile courts order, Is usually
the result OF neglect on the part Of
parents. When the home is faulty 1t
is very difficult to remedy the evil
that grows therefrom.
Nevertheless, 1t is the duty of the
state to do what it can in the matter.
This is what Judge Gilllland. the dis
trict attorney and the good women
working with them now purpose to
DO. 1t is work Of the utmost i'm
rortance.
From street walkers and from
those who frequent questionable re-
sorts are the dens Of prostitution re-
cruited. The girls whom Judge Gill
Hand wishes to reach are upon the
path that shades away into blackness.

wrongdoers but to befriend
them. The judge is a kind-hearted
man. SO is Mr Phelps and the ladies
working with them are prompted by
the kindliest motives. Boys and
girls for whom the Crusade" IS in
tended should remember this and
seek their advice-not shun it with
fear or because Of shame.

KICK THEM OUT.

The only hope Of those who wish
to defeat Governor Chamberlain for
senator lies in their ability to induce
statement No. l members Of the leg
lslature to break the solemn pledges
BY which they are bound. The whole
scheme is based on dishonesty.
It is astonishing that reputable
men and reputable newspapers should
take up such a movement They are
advising legislators-elect to break
their oaths-to be dishonest BY so
doing they are laying themselves
open to the same charge. The man
who instigates a crime is as bad as
he who commits it, if not worse.
All this talk that is put forth re-
garding constitutionality, the Dakota
case, etc, is rot. It is merely stuff
that is put forth for the purpose Of
throwing the senatorial situation into
the air. 1t is the hope of those be-
hind the despicable move to raise
rumpus so that under cover of the
same they may steal the senatorship.
The stand taken by the Oregonian
and few lesser sheets of this state is
an insult to every statement No. 1
member of the legislature, likewise
to the people of the districts repre-
stnted by those men. An honest man
resents the offer of bribe. 1t is an
destination that his honesty is ques-
tionable.
In the same manner legislators
elect should resent the move that is
row on to induce them to break their
pledges. The whole scheme is based
on the idea that many Of the legis-
lators are corruptible. The men and
the newspapers that are trying to
cause a break in the statement No.
ranks are out to debauch the legisla-
ture. Figuratively speaking, they
should be shown the door and given
such a kick as will bring them to
realization Of the fact that ali the
people of Oregon are not dishonest
simply because a few machine poll
ticians may be.

DUNN SHOT HIMSELF.
A Former Citizen of Cuthbert Ac-
cidentally Killed.


Mr.. B. l.. Dunn, for many years
a well-known and highly esteemed
citizen of Cuthbert, was shot and al
most instantly killed near Ensley,
Ala, by a double-barrelled shotgun
discharging while the victim was
taking it from his buggy.
1t seems that Mr.. Dunn, who was
employed as collector for furniture
store at Ensley, carried the gun with
him on his collecting rounds that
day for the purpose of killing some
birds for his family, members of
which are ILL., He evidently got out
of his buggy and in taking the gun
from the back part of the vehicle
the trigger was touched and the
charge went through the breast of
the unfortunate man.
Shot entered the heart of Mr..
Dunn, causing almost instant death.
People in the neighborhood heard
the report of the gun and ran to
the place only to find the victim
dead. The gun was still in the buggy
when the people reached the spot.
Mr.. Dunn was 43 years of age, and
is survived by a widow and six chill
dren, four sons and two daughters.
His remains were sent to Cuthbert
for burial.

Paola LOmbroso, a daughter OF
the eminent criminologist, has con-
tributed a remarkable article to the
Revue on feminine coquetry full of
strange stories bearing on this sub
ject.
Some of these stories were told to
her by Signor Cadalso, the governor
of a womans prison in Milan. Al
though the women in that prison
never get a glimpse of man they are
as eager as the most fashionable
dame to decorate their persons If
happily they may by accident see one
of the male sex. In all other re-
spects most of the prisoners are de-
void of every trait which ennobles
and beauties the lives of women.
But their vanity, their coquetry
remains as strong a passion as ever
All ornament is forbidden in the
dreary cells of the Milan prison, yet
the prisoners succeeded in painting
and powdering themselves. 1t was
observed that a number sought to
streak their yellow or pallid faces
with white to resemble powder, and
it was discovered that they were in
the habit of licking the white
washed walls of their cells and chew
ing the lime fragments to get a
white paste, which they smeared on
1heir faces with their fingers.
"Rouge" Puzzles Prison Keepers.
One woman appeared regularly
every evening with her face painted
an artificial red just, as SignOrina
Lombroso says, like the face of bal
let dancer. She refused to tell
where she got the paint, and for a
long time the prison authorities were
mystified At length they noticed
that portions of her clothes had a
red thread woven into them. They
watched her. These threads she ex-
tracted with infinite pains and soaked
them until they began to color the
water, with which she ''rouged'
herself to her entire satisfaction.
Another prisoner had been pining
for a corset. Little by little she OBJ
tanned wire from a cell window graf
ing. With this and a few rags she
made an ingenious corset which en-
abled her to squeeze her Waist-line
into the desired slimness. 1t was
only discovered when she tainted in
chapel from tight lacing." The cell
where she got the precious wire was
the punishment cell. She regularly
broke the prison rules in various
ways in order to be sent in that CELL
To improve tn women's conduct
Signor Cadalso provided three sorts
of costumes. The FIRST was tailor

the figure. The second was a

American MilIionairess' Ruse.
Signorina Lombroso tells of an
American millionairess who expected
a visit from European royalty and
ordered two magnificent gowns at
$4,000 apiece, one rose-colored, the
other white. When finished the
gowns were sublime creations and
the lady could not decide which to
wear, for the royalty was to stay
only for one dinner. In the pink
dress she looked like a tempting
Eve, in the white creation she was
all seraphic grace.
The dinner came and the lady ap-
peared in rose-the fascinating Eve.

a dash of gravy in her lap by "acci-
dent" He did so, to the consterna-
ton of the company, but the lady

seraph.
THE act of the millionaire lady, "

age woman who once walked 230
miles through an African jungle in

beasts of prey in order to get piece

The author of the article comes
to the conclusion that this coquetry,
which begins as soon as the female
is able to creep to the looking glass
and does not end until her race is
| run, is not a wholly bad quality.
ITO it we owe all the decorations
of our homes and many of the graces
of life. Were women not coquets
our homes would be like rooms in
mOnasterieS, severe, monotOnOus,
chilling, and man can easily excuse
the exaggerations of coquetry since
| it is all done to find favor in their
eyes and without it life would be de-
prived of much of its joy"

RAISE COTTON IN CALIFORNIA
A Cotton Mill to Cost Nearly Half a
Million Dollars Is to Be LOCat-
ed in That State.

A Baltimore dispatch says that
plans have been filed for a 100000
cotton mill to be located at Los An
geIes, Cal The mill is to make
staple goods. The cotton for the
mill is to be obtained from Texas
until arrangements can be made for
growing the cotton in the vicinity of
the mill. The Importance in this an
nouncement, so far as this section is
concerned is the attempt that is to
be made to grow cotton in southern
California.
Can cotton be grown there with
success? That is an interesting
question. If it can the growing of
cotton here in the south may be in
terfered with to some extent. In
southern California crops are grown
largely with the help of irrigation.
If by that method and high fertiliza-
ton cotton can be grown there upon
large scale we may see great cot
ton mills on the Pacific coast. In
fact, that part of the country may be
able to supply Japan and China with
all the cotton they want for their
mills.
1t is a fair conclusion that $780,
600 wouldn't be put into a cotton
mill plant in southern California if
there wasn't some assurance that
cotton could be grown proftably
there. Perhaps there have been ex-
periments and that they have been
successful. 1t would be interesting
to know more about this movement
to cultivate cotton in that state. Is

1t is so easy to criticize things about

Take, for instance, Peruna. There are

Peruna is this and that, who never have
