row Wilson, General Nichols, superin-

Oregon's Costly Experiments.

What is ahead of a State when j,
goes into the business of publishing bull
letins for the information of voters is
indicated by the experience of Oregon
The official statement of the thirty
eight different matters to be submitted
to the Oregon voters in November
makes up pamphlet of 26o printed
pages, containing something like 125,ooo
words, Each one of the one hundred
thousand Oregon voters receives a copy
of this pamphlet, and the theory is that
it will be read carefully, even studied,
and that the decision will be based
upon nice balancing of the arguments
for and against the proposed legislation.
Such is the expectation of the ad-
mirers of the initiative and referendum
in Oregon; but observation tends to the
belief that public document of e6o
pages stands better chance of getting
into the waste bin or being used as
kindling than it does of finding a place
on the "hve-foot shelf of the plain
man"

Truly a Billion Dollar Country,

The current issue of the Manufac-
turers' Record, published in Baltimore
and representing the commercial in
terests of the South, contains ten pages
of letters from manufacturers descrip-
tive of the activity of their establish
ments, which cover almost every
branch of industry.
The South last year gathered the
biggest cotton crop in its history, and
if not quite the most valuable to the
producers, anyway it brought them
close to a thousand million dollars.
They are now gathering a crop that
will probably prove only second to that
of last year, and it will bring in an
other thousand million dollars.
The Northwest is handling the big
gest wheat crop, with probably only
one exception, that it has experienced,
and is watching the ripening Of the
biggest corn crop ever raised.
Business in every field of manufac-
turing is under high pressure. In
steel and iron new records are being
made. The textile mills cannot handle
their orders. Let us be thankful for
prosperity.

If the government of American pub
lie affairs were ~ efficient honest and
courageous ss the government Of Amer
lean baseball, there woald be little
graft and little complaint of favoritism.
The rulers of the game are responsive
to the sentiments of the great public,
which they represent so faithfully.
Eight years of worlds championship
baseball has yielded a gross revenue of
i$I.Iz6,ooo from about $4,000 paid ad-
missions. The attendance of I7o,8oo and
the gross receipts of $34zooo for last
years six games between the Giants
and Athletics broke al records. Grand
stand and bleacher and perching-plaee
capacity will be strained this time until
the annual question of baseball suprem-
aey is settled.
With baseball at the top of its popu-
larity and financial prosperity, as these
figures show, it is astonishing that the
game has been kept so free from the
gambling scandal which has ruined
horse-raeing in the United States for
the time being. The tradition against
contact between professional gamblers
and players has been upheld. Most OF
the wagers made are of the character
INDUCED in by political partisans over
election results. Occasionally the re-
pute of baseball as clean and honest
sport in spite of its professionalism, is
hurt by an incident like the favoritism
of ticket speculation for last years
worlds series. The men who rule the
game dealt with this matter effective
ly. Another thing that shows how Wig
liant these guardians of the good name
of baseball are is the action taken on
the charge that umpires of the Ma
tional League favored the Giants in
their decisions to let New York win
the pennant. An accusation like this
is treated with as much gravity as if it
were one lodged against judge on the
bench. Either the umpires will be dis
graced, or their accusers will be ex-
pelled from baseball.

What Philosophers Are.
From Life.

From Life.
A philosopher is a man. and rarely a
woman. who. having nothing to do and
being glad Of II. puts in his time ex-
planning the reason that other people
should have for doing things.
Philosophers are not popular because.
in the first place. most men are too busy
to listen to them. and. in the second
place. they are satisfied with their own
reasons for doing things.
Nevertheless. philosophers are wont to
gravitate toward comfortable stoves in
corner groceries, where men Of varying
leisure straggle in and toward comfort
able chairs in universities where help
less youth are compelled to listen as a
part Of an awful punishment called a
curriculum.
Whenever q philosopher becomes IA
nous, 1t always turns out that he Is not
a philosopher at all, but Q scientist 81
mon-pure philosophers never give infor-
nation, because nothing less than ex-
planning the unknowable will satisfy
them. One philosopher will never agree
with another philosopher II he can pos
sibly help II.

DR.. Eliot on Early Marriages.

DR.. Eliot, president emeritus of Har.
ward, is a believer in early marriages,
and in a recent address to students he
advised them to look forward to mar
rage as soon as possible. Postponed
marriages, he believed, was one of the
greatest evils of modern life. 1t is not
a valid excuse for a man to say that
he wishes to give the girl he will marry
as much luxury as she had in the home
of her parents. If the girl has been
brought up in too much luxury, the
sooner she is given a chance to live
differently the better. 3.
The doctor goes further and advises,
that it is the duty of every young man
to look forward to becoming a grand
father while he is young, as postponed
marriages have the great disadvantage
that men cannot begin to have grand
children until they are too old to enjoy
them.

Alas, the Poor whale.

From the San Fnndsco Argmaut
We have been 90 often told that the
whale fisheries are now extinct that We
learn with surprise that 2000o whales
were captured last year in the waters
of South Georgia, South Shetland. South
America, and Africa, and that other
fishing fields yielded substantial catches.
Who would have thought that there
were so many whales? But we are as
sured that In a few years time there
will be no whales lett, thanks to the
use Of the deadly harpoon gun. The ror-
quail whale was safe under the old sys-
tenn. He was too swift and too fierce
to approach in boats. but he 10 easily
conquered by the hafpoon fired out Of
. gun from the deck Of . ship. The
whale 10 not exactly q lovable animal.
but II seems . pity that he should be
exteFminated. especially a. We were un-
der the impression that he was already
