 Be it said to its credit, the press of Oregon is at least divided upon the question of such ultraism and many influential journals are pleading for constructive statesmen and decrying the abolitionist According to their views tearing down is by no means conducive to the welfare or progress of the state and they are crying enough"

A COLD HOTEL.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
 There is a certain hotel up in British Columbia that has reputation for being unreasonably cold. It is a frame struc- ture and the walls are thin and shaky One morning during a blizzard two guests who had been there the night before came out of their rooms, on opposite sides of the hall. The first man said
 "Whew! I'm nearly frozen, | never was so cold in my life. I slept with al my clothes on and everything else piled on me. and I'm frosted through"
 Same here,' said the other T was on the windward side of this hut. I put on my buffalo coat over my clothes and l don't think I'll ever get warm.'
 They went down to the hotel office There, huddled over the stove, was a stage driver who had lost his way and been out all night. His hafr and whiskers were Jumps of ice. His fur hat was frozen to his head. He shivered and shook with the cold though he was practically sitting on the stove. The two guests looked at him for minute. Then one of them said Which room did you have, partner?'

New Postoffice Needed

Congress has been liberal in it's ap- propriations for new federal buildings, and according to statement recently published government architects are far behind in their work.
 One of Birmingham's pressing needs is new postoffice building, but if treasury department officials are cor rectly reported it will be something like two years yet hofole the archi- tects begin to rrfare designs for the edifice Ie'e. The chief architect should nave a larger number of as sis,ants. Outside architects should be employed to enable the department to catch up with it's work. The Chamber of Commerce should urge Congress man Underwood to take up the Bir- mingham postoffice matter and obtain practical results in the near future.
 The government has bought and paid for splendid. site for the new building-400 feet on the north side of Fifth avenue, extending from to Nineteenth streets, and extending 90 feet back to the alley. Congress has appropriated S800,000 for the building. An adequate struc- ture will cost more than $500, ,000- probably $1,000,000. But after work is started it will be comparatively easy to get an additional appropriation.
 If we have to wait two years for the laying of the corner stone the present building will be totally in- adequate for the public service before the new building is finished. Bir- mingham's postoffice business is al ready much congested, and the con- gestion will naturally grow worse with the growth of Birmingham. At least three years will be required for the erection of the new postoffice, and unless something is done to hurry up the chief architect this decade will be nearly gone before the, city sees the $1 100000 building on Fifth avenue

BETTER THAN DEATH PENALTY

From the Chicago Daily Tribune
 A New York lawyer. addressing the American Association of Medical Juris- prudence. urged upon it the adoption of what he terms a scientific substitute for the death penalty.' The anti-social individual condemned to death and even life Imprisonment should not forfeit his life to the grave or to the dPgeon, but to science Instead of electrocuting or hanging murderer he should be assigned by the court to some laboratory to be used there for purposes of experimental tion.
 The advocate of this substitute for the death penalty makes it clear that he does not mean that the prisoner should be used as material for vivisection There aSe plenty of painless, or compara- lively painless, experiments that can be tried on him. By so disposing of the prisoner the state will have used the life it has forfeited profitably, as it will give the medical sciences the only pos sibility open to get at the root of cer- tain medical actions and reactions that can be obtained only by such experiment tation.
 There is considerable to be said in favor of this plan. Even as a deterrent from crime confining man in a laboratory for the rest of his days like a guinea pig might be more effective than the death penalty. It is doubtful, however, if the American public is quite ready for the innovation.

A Radical Sister

1t is fortunate for the United States Chat the country is possessed of such experimental stations as Wisconsin and Oregon, where all the new indus trials fads and political isms may be threshed out and tried to the finish. for by their success or failure the rest of the union may profit.
 Oregon today is undoubtedly the most advanced commonwealth in the ranks of radicalism. She has female suffrage, the initiative, the referen- dunn and the recall, and now her citi gems are circulating petition for the submission to the vote of the people the question of the abolition of thu bicameral system in legislation. Sh' proposes to abolish her state senate entirely and trust all law enactment to a single body whose powers are tt be limited by the initiative and tn. referendum.
 It is safe to presage that it will moi be very long ere Oregon will be found advocating the doing away with tho office of governor, for with the initia. tive and referendum as the censor ol legislative enactment there wilLbe lit.

PopuIatjon of Two CItie.

My reason for thinking that Birmng- ham will outstrip Atlanta in population in the census of 1920 is not because the census bureaus estimates published few weeks ago indicated that this city was gaining on Georgia's capital" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce. '"rhe estimates were based on the ap- parent increase of cities in the last dec ade and not on any new data. But my prediction is made on something tangible. In 1910 the census bureau published bulle- tins which gave the officially enumerated population not only of all cities of 100,- 0C0 and upwards, but the consolidated population of each of those citi.s and their outlying territory within radius of 10 miles. Birmingham and the 10-mile limit had in round numbers popula ton of about 212,O00 as compared with Atlanta s consolidated popuation-inside and out side for no miles-of POS, GOO. My guess is that Birmingham will go ahead of Atlanta 25,000 in the next census.
