SPRING CLEANING.

This is Arbor day and Arbor day is
cleaning day in most of the states
where it is celebrated. The spirit of
cleanliness is abroad in the land and
the Land Of Steady Habits should not
get behind In what counts for prog
ress and for the better health of the
community and for attractiveness.
A Virginia paper has this, among
other things, to say of the movement
south:
Bristol Ia situated in two states in
which the cleanup movement has
spread wonderfully, and from one
state or the other We should imbibe
the spirit. If it is not already here.
Knoxville had a general cleaning day
last Monday, and a few days before
that Nashville cleaned up. Other cities
and towns down in Tennessee ~eve
done or are preparing to do likewise
From UP in Virginia a similar story
comes. Both Norfolk and Lynchburg
have recently undergone a general
cleaningS and are looking and feeling
better. Roanoke and Danville have
both had cleanup days during the
past week, and within the next week
or two practically every city and town
of Importance in the state will get rid
Of the dirt and rubbish that have
been accommodating since last summer"
This shows that they are alive to
the importance of this work at the
south, and are doing 1t. Norwich
should be at the head of the process
sion with the "spotless towns" Of Con-
necticut.

The PERILs OF AN INDUSTRY.

Few realize the daily perils of the
workngmen until the fatalities and ac-
cidents are collected and presented in
the aggregate. We do not think that
a half-million are either killed or made
unserviceable every year. The Amer
loan Museum Of Safety and Santa
ton have this matter in hand, and it's
office, like those of Europe, offers OPP
portunity for industrialists to learn
how to avoid killing or manning those
who work In their shops, factories,
mines, and SO forth, and it is claimed
that adoption of these suggestions
might save half that industrial army
from death or serious injury and "cut
litigation and damage expenses mil
lions Of dollars every year" We be-
lieve that most employers are anxious
to establish proper precaution for the
protection Of those whom they en-
ploy, and as the museum is well
equipped to aid them in this purpose
and Is Differed by public spirited and
practical men, it is well worthy of
their patronage. The defects in ma
chinery are the least contributors to
this fearful showing, since incompe-
tence, carelessness and drink are re-
sponsible for the larger part Of them;
but there is no doubt that the num-
Der Of victims per year can be greatly
reduced and no pains should be spared
to accomplish this end.

What are the business interests" Of
the country? They are constantly APP
pealed to in the tariff debates. 1t Is
asserted that they demand immediate
action, and that some kind Of tariff
bill ought to be passed, even IL It
carries all the iniquities, fragrant, or
concealed, Of the senate schedules.
For each one of the inquities, too,
some business interest IS cited IN ex-
cuse Everybody must pay higher
prices for hosiery or $4,000 operatives
will have their wages reduced or be
thrown out of employment altogether.
If something IS not done for dress
goods, yarns and tops Mr.. Whitman
and his friends will begin to feel the
pinch of poverty. The sugar trust.
the steel trust the beef trust and all
the rest must levy upon the taxpayer
or some enormous fortunes may fail
to support their possessors. Other
lines ofactivity which might plausibly
be regarded as business interests are
not to be considered. Mr.. Payne
sneers at the opposition to increased
duties IN wearing apparel as "a de-
partment store propaganda" Plainly
the department store Is not business
interest; and the small tradesman,
with fewer opportunities to buy at the
lowest market price, ought to go to
raising hens.-Providence Journal.

This is not much clearer than mud,
for 1t does not explain whether the
charges of the retailer are for the
goods or an addition made in conse-
quence of the tariff. This charge,
presumably, is for the article itself,
and if the first column shows the first
cost, it is evident enough that the
retailers make a great profit upon
the articles mentioned. Twenty dol
lars made upon a dozen razors is
rather an excessive profit. If the SEN

When the Pacific Coast leaA /

month to consider the oustlng OF
Danny Long from the secretarys
chair, the application of the North
westerns for Portland franchise
for 1910 will be one of the para.
mount questions before the session.
Cal Ewing's Honolulu trip may
have improved his health, but not
his feeling toward the northwest,
for he stated yesterday that he was
opposed to allowing the Northwest
erners to re-enter Portland unless
they agreed to certain things in
black and white.
The question is, What are these
certain things? Manager Bob
Brown is of the opinion that Ewing
will try to extort a promise from
the Northwestern officials to per-
NIT Coast league clubs in Spokane
and Seattle next year.
If Brown has the correct dope on
the situation, the Coasters will ash
far more thon they give. It's not
an even trade by any means,
merely a case of genteel highway
robbery.
Why not strengthen the lines be-
fore the fight. Line up sixth city
to take Portland's place in the
event that he Coasters are not
amenable to reason. It's not too
late.
