WheaC Higher.
(From thursdays Journal.)


With almost a record breaking run
of livestock, the market at North
Portland was weaker and the bulk of
the stock sold lower than during re-
cent days. One load, however, sold
at 81. The bulk of the shipments
were forecast by the Journal yester-
day, therefore occasioned no surprise
among the trade.
Considering the extent OF recent Of
ferings of cattle the market has done
fairly well; in fact, better support has
been given local killers than usually
expected of them in times Of plenty.
The market for cattle continues
strong at other points and east Of the
Rockies values remain in a good posi-
ton. At South Amaha there was q
showing of 2200 cattle for the day.
Prices were steady to strong, with top
steers at 1885 inc best cows and
heifers as high as $7.65.

Salt Lake City.-An unusually high
birth rate and low death rate were
claimed today for the Mormon peo-
pie by Hyrum NJ. Smith, an apostle,
the principal speaker at the second
session of the Mormon conference.
He addressed an audience of nearly
1000 at the Tabernacle.
THE records show said the apos-
tie. that the birth rate among the
members of the church for the last
year was 3S to 1000.
Although this is a higher rate
than among any other people that we
have a record of today, it is not high
enough. We should have more chill
dren and we should care for them

A MEASURE OF PROGRESSIVE GOV
ERNMENT.

Tie total contributions to the DEM
ocratic, Republican and Progressive
campaign funds this year amount to
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars less
than the Roosevelt campaign fund in
1904. The three parties SO far have
not had as much money at their dis
posal as TIE corporations alone deposit
ed in the Roosevelt campaign Golfers
eight years ago. The Democratic and
Republican parties together have but
half as much as the total Roosevelt
fund in 1904.
Fifty-three thousand. three hundred
and three persons contributed to the
$sG7.46O Wilson campaign fund, an
average Of only $13 each In 1904.
7a1-2 per cent Of the total Roosevelt
contributions came from corporations.
Nothing could better indicate the
distance that progressive government
has travelled In eight years than the
difference between the campaign funds
Of 1904 and the campaign funds of 1912
At the present rate Of advance the
absence of corporation contributions
from the political campaign funds must
soon be an accomplished fact.

THE FEMINIST IDEA IN MAINE.

Maine women seem to be new women
because they never grow old. The
feminist movement up there begins
about daybreak every day all year
round. The following recipes for
youth and beauty recently filtered into
one days news: Mrs. Eliza Ann riggs.
of South Casco. celebrated her eighty
seventh birthday by picking ten BUSH
els of apples and milking eight cows.
Mrs. Benjamin Powers planted and
harvested a half acre Oh potatoes and
made a crop Of 2s2 bushels. In more
esthetic pursuits, Mrs. Maria Hopkins
played the organ for sixty-three years
in one church. and has just resigned.
We trust the records of these stout
hearted danes will not be used as the
foundation OF q cult Too often We
get SO proud Of the days work that
we have to talk of it for a week
afterward. Many lessons about the
blessings Of toll and the equality OF
the sexes might 'be drawn from these
startling facts. But the real moral
seems to be that ladies with good old
