Nation to Hide Paroles.

Washington.-Men who have their
paroles from Federal prisons here
after will step back into the world to
begin life anew unadvertised and
without the limelight of publicity.
Attorney-General Wickersham and
Robert w. Ladow, chairman of the
parole board, have decided that pub
licity in such cases helps to defeat
the object of the parole law.

"The practice OF growing hogs on
alfalfa has been shown to be very
profitable. On alfalfa pasture oil
good quality, at least 600 hogs could
be pastured on thirty acres. Alfalfa
seeded In the fall will not give a full
crop the following season. although
on irrigated land, fall seeding may
give single fairly good cutting the
following season. Fall seeding is not
usually so satisfactory as spring seed
ing. Young pigs can be grown sue
cessfully on Alfalfa pasture alone,
but do not make as profitable a
growth as they will If fed some grain.
Under present market conditions the
best grain to feed in combination
with alfalfa pasture is chop made
Of equal parts of wheat, oats, and
barley ground together Ten to ~
pounds Of alfalfa seed per acre is
sufficient, If sown with grain drill.
II seeded broadcast, fifteen to eigh-
teen pounds is usually necessary in
order to get uniform stand. Alfalfa
seed sells at 18c to 25c per pound,
depending upon the quality. Gener-
ally the higher priced seed is the
cheaper, as it carries a much higher
percentage Of good seed"
"Logged-off land in western Wash
ington and western Oregon is admir-
ably adapted to pasture usage. 1t Is
quite a common practice to seed the
ground between the stumps with
clover, especially white clover, and
in a few months have a splendid
pasture which may be used for per-
iod Of years without removing the
stumps. There is considerable diff
Guilty in seeding grain under such con-
ditions, however. The adaptability
of such lands to the growing Of cat
tie, therefore, depends upon the place
which pasturage may occupy in the
growth of the animals and this in
turn is determined largely by the eli
matte conditions. There is no ques-
ton whatever but that such pasture
cows and growing young stock. 1t Is
my opinion that hogs may be very
profitably grown under such condi-
tions, suplementing the pasturage
with little grain which can be either
grown or purchased.
Canada field peas have been culti-
vated very successfully all over
eastern Washington where the rain
fall is Is inches or more both for
forage and for green manure. 1t is
possible to get a growth of as much
as three tons per acre of air dry
material to be plowed under as green
manure and field peas are much bet
ter for this purpose than alfalfa, be-
cause they make their growth and
are ready to plow under within about
one hundred days, whereas alfalfa
requires at least two years to get in
good shape to plow under. Canada
field peas should be seeded at the
rate of about one and one-half bush
els per acre on dry land, the ground
being first plowed and we'll narrowed,
then the peas seeded with a grain
drill in order to set them three or
four inches under the ground. They
can be seeded by sowing them broad
cast on the ground and than plowing
them under with a very shallow plow,
but this method does not conserve
the moisture as the other process
outlined"

DOINGS OF OREGON STATE LEGISLATURE

Salem, Or, Jan. 25.--Sale Of the
state pilot schooner San Jose was au-
thorized by the house yesterday af.
ternoon. The bill presented by Lem
enweber Of Clatsop, was unanimously
passed after the author had explained
that the ship was dead weight upon
the hands of the pilot commission.
Clatsop county now awaits only the
signature of the governor to sanction
the proposed two and a half mill tax
to raise funds for the Astoria centen-
nial celebration. Senate bill No. 61,
authorizing the tax, was approved by
the house, following brief explana-
tions by Representatives Leinenweber
and Belland of Clatsop.
The proposal to construct a bridge
across the Columbia river at Portland
to connect Oregon and Washington,
which was killed at the last session,
has been revived. Bigelow of Multi
nomah presented a resolution in the
house, appropriating $4,000 for an in
vestigation by the state engineer to
learn whether or not the project is
feasible. The bridge would form a
connecting link for the proposed Pa
cific highway between the two states.
Peterson of Umatilla withdrew
house bill No. 40, permitting any per-
son to serve summons in a legal ac-

Salem, Jan. 23-Numerous bills to

Investigations of the asylum and the
office of insurance commission to a
resolution, sweeping in its nature
and covering all of the state institu-
tions and officials, were features in
both houses today.
They marked a continuance OF the
sentiment which has been expressed
forcibly that lavish expenditure and
extravaganza have marked the con-
duct of affairs at the asylum and
that there is a possibility of further
instances of this being unearthed at
other institutions.
Senator Wood introduced several
bills covering state institutions.
They have as their end in view the
complete elimination of possibility of
future deficiencies and would change
the present system of expending pub
lie money for public institutions.

lawful for any trustee or officer of
any state institution to allow a de-
ficiency to be created. Such de-
ficieney, the bill recites, must be re-
paid personally by the trustee re-
sponsible or by his bondsmen. An
other of Woods bills provides that
no warrant shall be drawn by the
secretary of state unless an appro-
priatiop has been made therefor, nor
shall any account be audited and or

Salem, Or, Jan. 24-Although both
houses of the legislature worked in
dustriously this morning, little was
accomplished beyond the passage of
few bills of little general import
ance. The good roads enthusiasts will
have their innings in the senate this
afternoon, the bills on that subject
being made special order.
A new resolution calling for an in
vestigation of affairs at the state in
sane asylum was introduced by Dim
ick in the senate and went to COM
mittee. 1t directs particular inquiry
as to the number Of employees and the
necessity for their employment and
gives power to compel attendance of
witnesses for taking of testimony on
all phases of the situation.
Verbal clashes of rival interests
came last night In committee meet
ings over the sailors boarding house
bill, the eight-hour bill and the naval
militia bill. The latter will come
from the senate committee with a
provision retaining present officers of
the reserve in office.
The senate passed one bill and kill
ed another this morning, but the ses-
sion was featureless. Committees are
slow in reporting out their bills. The
house passed four bills.
The legislature was stormed today
by 300 Oregon advocates of the Good
Roads movement. Two-hundred came
from Portland urging that Multnomah
county, by the terms of the five high
ways bills framed by the Oregon
Good Roads association, is presenting
the state with road making funds for
the direct benefit of every other
county but with indirect benefit, only
to business interests.

Mrs. Pankhurst's Address

Those who heard Mrs. Pankhurst
speak on woman suffrage must have
been impressed with her intenseness.
her lucid argument and the fact that
woman's need OF the ballot appears
to be much more urgent I'm Great
Britain than in the United States.
No matter how radically opposed
to woman suffrage one may be, he
cannot possibly fail to give respect
full hearing to the cause when pre-
sented with the fairness, earnestness
and logic which characterized the adj
dress OF the distinguished leader of
the militant suffragettes OF Great
Britain! Her diction and delivery
are elegant and her entire presence
admirable. All this does much TO
command respectful attention for the
principles Mrs. Rankhurst advocates.
Taking conditions as Mrs. Pank-
hurst pictures them in England and
In this country as we know them to
be, they are not identical, and one
may even see no immediate necessity
OF giving votes to women In the
United States and at the same time
sympathize with the struggling
women In England. Heralded as she
has been by sensational reports Of her
militant methods, Mrs. Pankhurst
brings, not only complete refuta,
ton in her gentle manner. but like,
wise responsiveness that is really
eloquent In its reach. Like many OF
the great women who have LED
wOman's rights in the United States
this quiet little English woman has &
way OF presenting her cause tha
wins respect for herself.

A Year Of Politics Ahead.

Although the common complaint is
that we have too much politics, and
the constant cry Is for a rest from
political controversy, the duration Of
the presidential campaign seems to
be lengthening rather than shorten
ing.
With the votes cast in the on.year
election OF 1911 not yet canyassed.
the lines are already being drawn for
the battle Of 1912, and there Is no
escaping a solid year OF politics
ahead. People may debate whether
this is a good thing or a bad thing;
they may lament its depressing in1u-
ence upon business but the stern re-
atty is there-that in this great and
glorious republic we have politics be-
cause we want it, and we want poll
tics because we like It. Few, II any,
subjects appeal so strongly to so
many people at the same time, and
no subject is able to hold popular in
terest so steadily and continuously as
does that of politics.
More than 100000 will next
year march up to the ballot box and
express their choice as between those
who aspire to head the national gov
eminent for the ensuing four years,
and the year OF politics that is to pre-
cede this momentous act is the term
at school for their education and
preparation. The year ahead is to
be a year OF politics, but 1t will be
worth while as the stimulating leaven
of democracy

The Bow and the Home

Many good men and women going
by the name of reformers habltually
complain at the moral and civic lax
ity OF the times. They tell us this
looseness is worse than II used to be:
that standards are lower, wrong more
rampant. The grown-up invidiously
compares the youth of today with the
young Of yesterday and all agree that
the man in public life is not what he
used TO be in scrupulous fidelity to
his trust.
AS matter OF course. the aggre-
gate OF error must be greater today
than in former days in our country,
for we are growing at such tremen-
dous bounds, but is the average OF
error greater? II it is, why? What
does that argue for all our uplift and
reform movements? II the boy today,

A Friend in Need.

"A friend in need is a friend in
deed" runs the old adage, and it is
sad, but true, that We usually have
to meet with adversely in order to
test our friends. The fair-weather
companion who takes to cover at the
first sign Of threatened storm is
found wanting at the crucial moment.
His previous professions OF devotion
are proved to have been hollow, and
instead OF resembling a strong staff
to lean upon. his promise turns out
to be fragile reed. It is the friend
who stands firm through thick and
thin, who, though unwilling to over
look or even to excuse mistakes and
misdeeds. yet holds out helping
hand over the hard places, and asks
only sincere effort at self-help,
who really counts.
People are often mistaken in their
friends, but the discerning Judge OF
human nature can frequently separate
the genuine from the spurious as he
goes along. II is for us to cultivate
and strengthen the friendships in
which we have confidence, and to
waste as little time as possible on
those we have reason to suspect. A
tried friend, like money in bank,
makes us feel easier to know it is
there, and can be had when necessity
requires,
True friendship. however, is re-
oiprocal. The man who would accept
the tribute OF n friend must also be
willing to give II TO the extent OF
his ability no matter whether the ex-
change be, disproportionate. without
the friend in need, life would be
much more empty, and its enjoyment
far less keen.

other days, why so? The former boy
did not have all these aids and agen-
cies to help him be good and sweet.
All he had was ma" and pa" and
home, sweet home. Nor we're such
safeguards thrown about the conduct
OF our public men I'm former years.
Sometimes a sober, second thought
suggests that possibly society is trying
to do too much for the boy, to say
nothing of the man. Here is the boys
club in school, in church, in the city,
IN divers spheres OF public action. An
expert teaches him this, another that
and so on, until there is really little
left for his father and mother TO do
for him. Can It be possible that So
ciety is overshootlng the mark? II
the boy Of yesterday was tanner,
better lad than his brother OF today,
then it must have been because he had
fewer temptations and more simple
home-training. After all there is no
Influence like good home influence
for the boy and only when home in
fluence is not good, should outsiders
step in and preempt this function.

Rough Road for Health Bureau

Senator Owen of Oklahoma has
given due notice of his intention TO re-
Introduce his bill for national health
department at Washington. He pro-
notes II as a move toward the con-
servation of human life and argues
that we are employing scientific meth
DDS to protect our food and domestic
animals, while neglecting that of the
man himself. He gives a money eide
TO his project and declares that, valu-
ing a human life at S1,7OO, the United
States loses S1,OOO,OOO.OOO every
year needlessly and another $1,000
100000 from Interpretation through
unnecessary illness.
But his measure, which at the last
session of congress. lost out, is des-
tined to travel rough road when IT
comes up again. 1t arouses the ire and
opposition OF other than the So
called orthodox schools of treating
human disease. From this source
comes the charge that the bill is In
the interest of a medical trust and
that the question touches the liberty
OF the individual, that touches
the home, that touches the whole
life Such an argument is made
by Senator Works OF California
and lauded by the Christian Science
Monitor OF Boston. The San Fran
cisco Call declares the proposed plan
would create a bureau of domicili-
AIRY Interference and would consti-
tute an intolerable invasion OF the
right of private judgment" Chris.
tan Scientists, OF course, oppose the
bill, so do some OF the osteopaths
and no doubt al the other various
schools or cults not counted in the
orthodox class. The argument is I'm.
sisted upon that medicine will never
be an exact science and that every
person should be left free to choose
his own physician and treatment.

Uplift for the Pulpit.

Colonel Watterson declares he
would have all ministers Of the gos-
pei as free to discuss the things OF
this world as the statesman or the
journalist, "but with this difference,
that the objective point with them
shall be the regeneration OF man
through the grace Of God and not the
winning of Office or the exploitation
OF parties and newspapers.
Now, more than at any other time,
perhaps, the need is for worldly
wise and broadly Independent clergy,
but nonetheless devout and conse-
Grated. The larger function OF the
church is not the propagating of any
particular dogma or creed, not neces-
sarily the recruiting of its ranks, but
rather the service IL can render in
the solution Of mundane problems.
But how can that be done unless
the churChman knows what those
problems are and knows how to get
at them? A prominent layman, adj
