Special Correspondence.
Columbia, Jan. 25.-The coming
week in the general assembly will
probably be signalized by the pas
sage of the Harper compulsory
school attendance bill in the house
and the Nicholson primary election
reform bill in the senate. The
house is regarded as being absolutely
certain to pass the. compulsory school
attendance bill, while the passage of
the primary reform bill in the senate
is q matter of conjecture, its friends
believe twill go through with ease.
In recognition of its paramount
importance, the house took the Har-
per bill up out of its order last week
and made it a special order for next
Tuesday when debate on the bill will
be opened. There is nothing harsh.
or mandatory about the Harne- ccn,.
pnlsory sssAoo! attendance Sill. It
provides that q majority of the citi-
zens of any city, town or school dis
trict shall firgt vote for compulsory
school attendance before its provis-
ions become effective.

A WOMAN'S SPITE.

Down east, in the town of Salem,
where witches were burned, two
women, living side by side, fell out
and one built a spite fence. Nine
feet high she built it, of great, rough
boards, completely shutting off the
view of the street from her neigh
bor's window.
The woman whose view was thus
obscured, full of Puritan indignation,
hired a lawyer and went into court.
A master in equity was appointed
After he had heard the testimony and
viewed the obstruction in person
he made his award. The plaintiff is
to get SIS damages.
Which shows, among other things,
how elusive justice is. Fifteen dol
lars for having to look at a spite
fence all your life.
But the real damage is something
which no court could measure, any
how The one who suffers the worst
injury is the woman who built the
monument to her Ill feeling; and
next to her among the sufferers are
the little children of Salem who daily
have thrust before them this ugly
token of the petty meannesses oi
which grown-ups are sometimes capa'
BILE.
A fit of temper, with scrape and
then sunshine, are quite human. But
to build a crouch into permanent
memorial is more than passing
weakness--it is a crime against 30
ciety.

CRIME AND PUBLICITY.

Murder is not merely an affair Of
city slums, mining camps and lonely
farm houses. Recent mysteries that
detectives, newspapers and public
have been trying to unravel have oc-
Cured in a setting of conventional
lied society.
Civilization and conventional liv-
ing are often said to be only thin
veneer. Underneath is the same old
human tiger of love and jealousy and
anger He devours alike his victims
whether on the fringes Of civilization
or in the atmosphere OF culture.
Yet it is remarkable how conven-
tional living does tend to exclude the
darker acts of human nature. Edu-
cation and refinement point out to
the human intelligence that crime
brings its own punishment. The
murderer suffers a thousand times
more than the murdered.
The greatest deterrent from crime
with many people is the fear of pub
licity When two foreign-born labor
ers quarrel over their sweethearts
and one deals a deadly blow, the
newspapers dismiss it in hasty para
graphs. But if these elemental deeds
occur among socially conspicuous
people, there are headlines and black
type.
AS the human mind becomes more
complex it tends to shelter itseli
from the eyes of the curious. 1t bit
terly resents impertinent prying. i
demands the chance to lead its OWL
life secure from observation. Un
doubtedly the gossipy habits of coun
try neighbors are one cause why peo
pie move to city life,
This feeling receives its sharpes
shock when people of refined taste
and conventionalized habits becom
connected with some deadly crime.
One suspects that the questionin
by reporters, the space in the news
papers, the sordid inspection of one
daily affairs by a whole nation, ar
more dreaded than even the possibi
ity Of the electric chair. There
still enough human weakness an
sin so that this publicity performs
most efficient service.

betterment of many.
MRS. M. NJ. EDMUNDS.

The metropolitan press of the
country has been filled of late with
reports of the immense crop yields,
and there is great rejoicing among
those who live off of the farmer and
the products of his soil. City people
watch these crop reports more closely
than do the farmers. This time,
with more than five and a quarter
of billions of bushels in sight and in
granaries, there can be no doubt
about the prosperous condition of the
country for the next year. 1t seems
almost impossible that this great
grain crop should be consumed with
in a years time. Every cereal shows
a record-breaking production with
wheat and grain in the lead. Surely
this is great country We are living
in and the products of our soil are
making us, commercially and indus
trially, the greatest people on earth,
for without the crops that come from
the farms there would be no CONNER
cial and no industrial activity worth
the mentioning.

HEALTH FOR WOMEN STUDENTS

Flat-chested college graduates,
with all sorts of intellectually, but
with bad digestion and frazzled
nerves, are hopelessly out of fashion
today So said President Mary E.
Woolley of Mount Holyoke College,
in a characteristic address to the Ma
tional Educational Association meet
ing at st. Paul the past week.
In primitive times women did man.
ual labor in home and field. The
men sat around making arrow-heads.
The women must have been their
physical equals.
Yet for hundreds of years the idea
has prevailed that women were weak
lings. 1t was not until bicycles came
along that outdoor sports were
thought possible for them. They sat
on the porch doing embroidery while
their brothers played baseball.
In spite of Miss Woolley's optim-
istic statement, in women's colleges
the old ide prevails to an extent.
The girls have more vigorous sports
than formerly. But some colleges
are still fearful of the word "ath-
letics." They think recreation"
sounds much more ladylike. Inter-
college athletics are not common for
girls. Thereby many abuses are
avoided. But a splendid incitement
20 physical culture is lost.
Still the modern girl, particularly
the modern college girl, is gaining
greatly in physical power. She can
tire out nineteenths OF the men on
long country walks.
The physically vigorous girl has a
bright face and merry heart. She is
personally attractive. People OF this
type disprove the old claim that col
lege women don't marry and rear
families. The time would seem ripe
TO encourage women to engage freely
in every kind OF athletics. Give them
clothes in which they can run, and
they may even beat the boys on the
baseball diamond. A physically Wig
orous womanhood means the disap-
pearance OF much OF the disease that
depresses the human race.

has been flabbergasted by this blunt
old fellow who was always going to

PROPHETIC.

Big was the ado not long ago when
river boat laden with eXcursionists
and freight from Pittsburg docked
and discharged at st. Paul.
1t was the first boat in years to
make a voyage down the Ohio and
then up the Father of Waters almost
to his mouth.
With whistle tootings, banquets
with speeches and columns in the To-
cal press was the visitor welcomed,
for it's coming seemed prophetic.
And so well pleased was the boat
owner with this trial run that he
announces a permanent service. For
passengers it will be more of a nov
city than a convenience; but the
freight rate is so much less than by
rail, though the distance is several
times greater, that much traffic is
expected.
Half the money usually wasted by
speculative private managements of
railroads would, if applied to river
and harbor development, give us in
ternal waterways rivaling those of
Germany, for lower freight rates on
non-perishable products and free our
rail lines for intensive service of fast
freight and passengers.
The st. Paul incident is reminder
that we are getting close to an era OF
internal improvements.

READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS.

It used to be an old-time joke that
some people were so fond of news
papers that they even read the ad-
vertisements.
That might have been humorous
remark years ago. At that period
some merchants would run an ad-
vertisement for a whole year un-
changed. Clothing dealers would start
advertising January first with a no.
tice of overcoats for sale, and would
still keep it running in July.
Today people read the advertising
as matter of business. The women
read it just as the farmer reads his
price current or a banker reads the
financial news. They thereby get
ideas as to how they can save on
household or personal expenses.
Probably a majority of the women
turn first to the advertising of their
favorte merchants, and then read
the news later.
The men also read the advertising
carefully. Even if they have no bus
mess enterprises of their own, they
are interested in the advertising as
a reflection of the business life of the
town.
Hence it is perhaps unnecessary to
suggest to the readers of this news
paper that its advertising columns
are worthy of the most careful atten-
ton. They are giving that attention
to these notices now.
Still it is worth while to say that
there is no time when advertising
is worth such careful attention as in
midsummer. All kinds of merchants
have the proposition before them of
cleaning out their stocks before cool
weather comes on. That takes a good
deal of publicity. The goods won't
move of themselves. The public must
be told about them and in some de-
tail.
The story of what is happening in
the stores will be found in the adver-
tising columns of this newspaper.
Most of the newspaper readers are
seeing it, and it will repay their clos
est scrutiny.

Now is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.

There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as the prescription othine
double strengths guaranteed to
remove these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the lighter ones
have venished entirely. 1t is seldom
that more than an ounce is needed to
completely clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double

Peoples Forum
The Ethics of Hop Growers.

DR.. William Parsons of Eugene
ably handled this subject at pro-
gram in Chautauqua park, of which
the following is a synopsis:
The hop growers, Notwithstanding
they say that they are temperance
people, are champions of the saloons.
They are forced by the big brewary
interests of the east to take this posi-
tion because of threatened boycott.
Since they have entered the arena,
it is the right of every patriotic citi-
zen to rise up against an industry
which, according to the ruling of the
supreme court of the United States,
brings about a very large amount OF
crime.
They approve of our college coun-
ties being dry because they educate
their young people in them and they
want them surrounded by clean en-
vironment. But they do not advo-
cate the whole state going dry, be-
cause they believe it would hurt the
hop interests, which they claim is
one of the biggest sources of cur
wealth. Yet less than per cent of
the hops produced are consumed in
Oregon. 1t is curious fact that our
brewers import their hops and do not
patronize home products. Any reas-
oning person knows how profits are
reduced when commodity is shipped
to some far away mart. Frequently
rains and lice destroy at least a part
of the hop crop, so the Oregon hop
grower really only receives sufficient
profit to remunerate him in about
one year in ten. When he is con-
templating plowing up his fields the
brewery trust bats him on and keeps
him in the business by raising the
price for the time being. Similar soil
has been known to produce ninety
bushels of corn to the acre, SO is not
the hop grower loser after all?
Corn or potato growing, hogs or cat
tie raising could easily be substituted
to his advantage monetarily, for
these are never failures with US.
The big brewing interests, howev-
er, have scared these men into max
ing a fight because they declare they
will boycott Oregon hops should the
state go dry.
Men are more than dollars. The
barbarian has ever placed possessions
first and we rise above his condition
only when we will not barter the pub
/ lie health, morals and safety to give
special privileges to the few. To in
! ject private interests into any public
policy is a graft and a bribery. If
we put wealth before safe conditions
for mankind we are planning the de,
struction of our people. Or in Low,
ellis words:
Men are more than wealth and bust
ness.
Better rot beneath the sod,
Than be true to class and interest
While we're false to man and
God"
When the state asks us to protect
the hop growers interest they are
asking us to sacrifice our sons anc
daughters. What father or mothel
can afford to pay such tribute?
We would class ourselves with the
wreckers of the New England coas
who opposed the building of light
houses because 1t would hurt thei
illegitimate business.
And we, the people of Oregon, can
not afford to be dominated by ont
single industry which so easily coulC

the Turks bought down in South
America. It is not reported whether
Turkey is alarmed over this apparent
menace, but 1t is fair to presume that
honors are not quite easy in the
transaction. Greece got away with
the bacon again. We sold these
fighting vessels for little more than
$11 100000, and instead of putting
that money out at interest It seems
that the fellows down in Washington
have decided to build one big, su-
per-, hyper dreadnought with the
wad.

PROHIBITION IN MANY STATES.

Although there are now nine pro-
5hibition states in the Union, it is to
be noted that twelve other states
have tried the experiment of prohibit
tion. Here is the classification:
Present Prohibition States.
Maine adopted constitutional pro-
hibition 1916; repealed 1856; re-
enacted 1857; resubmitted to the
people 1884 and 1911.
Kansas submitted constitutional
amendment in 1879 and adopted by
the people in 1880. Statute making
enforcement easier passed in 1909.
North Dakota adopted constitution
al provision when territory became
state.
Georgia passed statute August 6,
1907; became effective January /,
1905.
Oklahoma adopted constitutional
provision when territory became
state.
Mississippi approved a statute
February 10, 1908; became effective
January l, 1903.
Tennessee enacted prohibition in
1909; supreme court upheld the law
in October, 1910.
North Carolina voted for prohibi-
ton on May 26, 1908; law became
effective January /, 1909.
West Virginia voted for prohibi-
ton amendment in 1912; became ef-
fective July /, 1914.
States That Abandoned Prohibition.
New Hampshire enacted prohibi-
ton legislation 1855; repealed 1908.
Vermont enacted prohibition leg
islation 1850; repealed 1908.
Massachusetts enacted prohibition
legislation 1S52-1S69; repealed 1863
1875.
Rhode Island enacted prohibition
legislation 1S52-1SS6; repealed 1863
1889.
Connecticut enacted prohibition
legislation 1854; repealed 1872.
Ohio enacted prohibition legisla.
tion 1851; annulled by tax law.
Michigan enacted prohibition leg.
islation 1855; repealed 1875.
Illinois enacted prohibition legisla
tion 1851; repealed 1858.
Iowa enacted prohibition legisla
tion 1884; repealed 1898.
Nebraska enacted prohibition leg
islation 1855; repealed 1858.
South Dakota enacted prohibition
legislation 1890; repealed 1896.
Alabama enacted prohibition legis
lation 1908; repealed 1911.
Wisconsin also is on the list a
given, but does not properly beloni
there, as the prohibition Legislation
enacted in that state in 1855 wa
vetoed. So it cannot correctly b
said the state ever tried and aban
doned prohibition.
New York and Indiana likewis
enacted prohibition laws in 1855, bu
in both states those laws were do
, clared unconstitutional by tn
courts.

: states that have abandoned prohib
tion, has substituted local option, an
5 others may have done likewise.
