GRANGE FAVORED
STATE RAILROADS

A communication TO the Portland
Journal last week, correcting an err
roneous statement made concerning
the Grangers' position In regard to
state ownership OF railroads Is As
follows:
Sherwood, Or, May Ito the
Editor Of The Journal---A small edi-
torial appearing In last Sundays
oregonian is placing the Oregon
State Grange In false light before
the people OF the state in regard to
state ownership OF railroads, by stat
ing that that body went on record as
being opposed to such proposition,
when. in fact, Just the opposite is tho
truth. A resolution from subordi-
nate Grange was introduced at the
recent session held in McMinnville
asking the State Grange to go on
record as being opposed to the state
ownership OF railroads, said resolu-
tion being referred TO committee on
transportation, OF which ! had the
honor TO be chairman. The commit
tee gave the resolution carefnl exam
inatlon. and by unanimous vote de-
cided 10 recommend that II do not
pass. and In regular order OF business
the recommendation OF the commit
tee was sustained. with scarcely a
dissenting vote. J. U. HENRY.

CHICAGO
SENDS OUT
SOME MAIL
SOME STARTLING
FIGURES, ONE FIRM
LOADS l25 CARS

All worlds records for mail ham
died have been smashed by Chicagos
postoffice where, because OF an item
of 100000 pieces of mail sent out
by a catalogue house one days total
nearly reached the mark of 10000
600 pieces OF mail. The batch of
6 200, 900 catalogues filled so mail
cars, weighed 1850 tons and the post
age amounted to 100000, quite a
tidy sum for one day mailing. In
the last year the receipts from the
Chicago postoffice were 100000
and the expenses s5,000,000. The
growth of the mail order houses and
of the publishing business in Chicago
has made big figures of day IA
miliar to the postoffice officials. The
Currler Publishing Company mails
each month over 100000 copies OF
the Woman's World and uses a total
of $4,000 mail sacks, and several 9TH
er publishing houses mail Issues OF
several hundred thousand each. The
handling OF magazines, however, Is
easier than that of stamped mail
The record batch of stamped mail
was handled under the new cancelled
stamp arrangement by means OF
which firm buys stamps already
cancelled. so as to save that work
being done at the postoffice.

ADDRESS TO HIGH SCHOOL

DR.. MoInturff delivered an address
10 the high school students, which
brought forth much laughter and
many tears, Friday night at the tent
The subject was Life" and la
part as follows:
No man was consulted about being
brought into this world. He had no
choice as TO parentage, whether he
was to be born white or black. He
suddenly walked up and found that
daily. almost hourly, he was in need
of food, clothing and shelter. Has
he a right TO these? IL would seem
So.
There have arisen certain diner
ences. One is born a por mans son,
and the other In a rich family.
We are more or less dependent on
each other In the struggle for bread.
One cannot do without the other.
The Bible says mo man liveth to
himself" Nobody Is so good but he
might be better. none so bad but he
might be worse.
My creed Is:
Help every human being TO a
better life. and do Il today.
2-Invest not in lands. stocks and
bonds, but In human souls. The one
will perish, the other will go on for
ever.
3-Help fix II so men will not
have. on this fair earth. TO beg for
the privilege 20 live and feed their
little ones. Hearst says $1,000
children starYe 10 death in New
York every year and 10000 have 10
eat out of the slop barrels In Lon
don every day.
4-Throw away charity, and In
its place give opportunity.
Give every man, woman and
child on earth a chance not only to
be but 10 do and be their very best.
6-Banish poverty and want from
the whole land. and make every man
brother.
Though he was rich, yet for our
sakes he became poor that ye through
his poverty might be rich.
