OUR BANKING SYSTEM

The Association of American Bank
ers has gone on record as against
the Postal Savings idea. Nobody
expected anything different. OF
course it would. The members are
now trying to divert attention by
seeking to re- establish that old fiend
that Andrew Jackson throttled-a
United States bank. But the peo-
pie don't want anything OF this
kind that can cause pauics at will.
The Postal Savings Bank won't be
"cure ALL But it will afford an
absolutely safe place of, deposit
which is more than as had under
our present system. After that
may come some sort of guarantee,
more equitable than has yet been
suggested.

Civic patriotism is not so pro-
nOunced or so common as national
patriotism, yet without it no place
can prosper. Every citizen should
be loyal to his town and that loyal
ty should be expressed by acts as
we'll as words. Words are cheap
and and are not to he compared
with the useful. patriotic acts by
which a man shows his faith and
interest in the community OF which
he is a part. Such acts build up a
town promote its prosperity and
make sure its future. And there is
no citizen howevr humble or how
ever lowly his occupation but can
contribute something to the common
good.

REDUCED GRAIN RATES

Reductions on grain rates of about
1917 per cent from the interior to
tidewater will 60 into effect on the
railroads of the Northwest on Nov
ember 1 and will effect a very large
saving to the wheat growers of the
Inland Empire. The reduction was
ordered on the O. R. & n. Lines by
the Oregon Railroad Commission
and on the Washington railroads
by the commission of that state.
On the present years crop it is
believed saving of about $500 900
will be realized to growers by the
lessened freight rate.

Preliminary arrangements have
been completed by officers of Clerks
Union of Spokane to organize all
the retail clerks and saleswomen
into one union, which will have
2,79O members if present plans are
carried out. The purpose of the
organization is to promote the social
interests of the clerks, take care of
them in sickness and when out of
employment and deal with employ
ers regarding wages and hours. The
state law provides that women shall
not work more than nine hours a
day, but this is sometimes ignored
by departmental atores on Saturdays
and to enforce it the officers say,
it will be necessary t. perfect the
organization.

A CHANGE OF BASE

Experience and changed condi-
tons inevitably result in some
change of political and economic
ideals. Today with our collectivism
We are we'll nigh at the antipodes Of
the old time ind;vidualism. Meth
DDS once regarded as revolutionary
are now commonly accepted, 1t is
not alone in our own country that
this change is seen, it is just as true
Of other lands.
In England many leaders of the
conservative party, which naturally
oppose popular government, are now
advocating the referendum on the
present budget. They are doing
this not because they love the prin-
ciple but as the lesser of, to them,
two evils. They know that to re-
jet the budget would produce con-
stitutional crisis which would pro-
baby result in the extinction of the
house of lords. On the other hand
they hate the budget, therefore they
see in a referendum a possible way
rut of the difficulty.
But if a precedent of referen-
dunn is once established what is
there to hinder one on the ending or
mending of the lords? To approve
a referendum in orler to dodge the
budget would probably be a jump
Ing from the frying pan into the
fire.

President Taft has set foot on
foreign soil and no catastrophe has
followed. The foundations of the
mighty deep have not been shattered
neither have the heavens fallen.
This must be quite shock to those
people who thought no president
should visit another country because
no president ever had. Perhaps it
is just as we'll that an intelligent,
progressive nation has shown that it
is superior to such unreasoning
prejudices.

BLUNDER OR CRIME

Napoleon said that a blunder was
worse than crime. Viewed by re-
suits that is oftentimeS true. Just
now it looks as if Spain had made
the worst kind Of n blunder in shoot
ing Prof. Ferrers, and the results
are not unlikely to prove disaster
Gus. OF course we cannot tell how
far, if at all, Ferrers was to blame,
but when Spanish history is con-
considered it is probable he had
good grounds for his political at
titude. That he was learned and
able scholar OF upright life is con-
coded.
Anyway Spain would have stood
better in the eyes of the world, and
her internal affairs would have pro-
fife if lighter penalty had been
imposed. AS it is the old Spanish
cruelty and reactionism have tri-
umphed. AS for Ferrers he will be
regarded as a martyr by millions of
his countrymen and others, and
martyrs have a wonderful knack,
dead though they may be, Of exert
ing mighty influence. The Span
ish king and government have let
loose the wind; they may think
themselves lucky if they are not
swept away by the whirlwind.

DE PROFUNDIS.

Now shall pray, who prayers have scorned before
To weep DER my SORROWS will that restore
The virtue lost, the years I've thrown away?
The grief of others my tears allay,
Silence around and darkness overhead.
Far from the path have my idle wanderings led.
Return cannot, for know not where
The way to safety lies. If should dare
Some path to venture with hope to gain
The peaceful stiffness of a brighter plain,
Belize I'd wander into dark more dense
A gloom more Deep my recompense
God if my voice from these depths to Thee can rlse
Grant me the strength that in silence lies.
Through sick and dying, yet unmurmuring, bear
The pain I courted when spurned Thy care

The manufacture Of farm ma
ohinery at the Minnesota State
Prison la destined to develop into
large and profitable business.
The United States exports farm
machinery to all parts OF the world.
American inventive genius keeps
the agricultural implements in the
lead everywhere. The Harvester
Trust enjoys a practical monopoly
of this parti ,ular business at this
time. The farmers of Minnesota,
judging from newspaper reports
and individual expressions OF opin-
ion, are none too friendly to that
particular octopus and therefore a
long and steady consumption OF
the Minnesota harvesters and now
ers manufactured here, is assured.
Work on the New Prison, it is
reported, will be pushed with all
possible speed, beginning next
Spring. It was hardly to be ex-
pected that much in the way OF
building could be accomplished
during the year drawing to a close
on account of the suit that was
brought to test the validity OF the
certificates authorized for the con-
struction of the new buildings.

featuring purposes as we'll as hous-

moves along slowly and that fact

COURAGE.

Through with my work at evening
My heart was heavy and sore,
For the cares of the day we're heavy
And living seemed really bore.
My mind to the past had wandered
When life was rosy and fair,
Fer the years of the freedom of childhood
Gave place to manhood and care.
And slowly and sadly journeyed
By pathways that knew only JOY,
When riches were had for the asking
In the bright happy dreams of boy.
And often 1 stood in rapture
AS some sleeping memory awoke,
Or through door long forgotten,
On some fond boyish fancy broke.
And here some once-cherished treasure
Brought tears that my eyes failed to hide,
That before their joys could be tasted,
Had been broken and cast aside
When DER that same pathway I'd travelled
Fer their value I'd learned to prize,
My whole day one eager longing
To be freed from youths tender ties.
But what JOY now found in these tokens
AS backward sped in my flight,
Till at last stood still and breathless
The sweet vision lost from my sight.
And sadly stood midst the longings
That made my very heart burn,
knew could go no farther,
Though l scarce had the strength to return.
To continue to fight the great battle
That began with life's first tender sigh,
And endure the short burning sorrow
For the glory that never can de-
But why wish to dwell thus inactive
In these bright, happy days OF ago,
And before me field broad and fertile
Where know must reap as SOW?
When with renewed strength and courage
take up lfe's burdens again,
Determined to strive and to conquer
Regardless of all sorrow and pain.

Oregon daiymen will meet in
Portland Dec. 8 and 10 and plans
already under way for the gathering
indicate it will be one of the most
interesting conventions in the history
of the association. There will be a
large attendance of ddirymen from
both Washington and Oregon and
a fine lot of exhibits of dairy pro-
ducts. One prominent creamery
will exhibit over so kinds of cheese
gathered from all over the world.
This showing is bound to be of very
great interest, 7. B. Wilcox, presi-
dent of the Portland FIGURING Mills,
has offered prizes of $65 and S35
for the best exhibits of dairy pro-
ducts at the convention and com
petition for the prizes will be keen.
The programme as now planed is an
excellent one. Among the most
prominent speakers will be Mr..
Rawl, of Washington, d. c., chief
OF the dairy division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who will be in
attendance, Others of note will
speak. The convention will be held
in the w, O. w. hall on Eleventh
street, near Alder. Attendance
promises to be unusually large be-
cause of the fact that the Oregon
State Horticultural Society holds its
annual meeting just before the
dairymen's convention and many
will attend both gatherings.
