Funeral services for the late John
1. Duffy. who died April 20. Inter
ment at the Catholic cemetery in this
city.
Mr.. Duffy had been an invalid for
the past eight years and death was
due to erysinelas. He was 20 years
OF age at the time of his death. One
sister. who resides in New York. is
the only survivor of the immediate
family. He formerly lived at Hast
1ngs, Mimi, where he edited the
Hastings Gazette.
In the death of John T. Duffy
North Dakota lost one of its pioneer
and most widely known citizens. Mr.,
DUFFY was prominent in the ranks of
the democratic party and his hosts of
friends throughout the state will re-
greet to learn of his demise. Mr..
Duffy went to Grafton in 1881 where
he was engaged in the insurance
business with Mr.. P. j. Mclaughlin
and while there, founded the Graf
ton Herald. which he edited and pub
lished for five years. Later Mr.
Duffy accepted the office of deputy
register of deeds of Walsh county
and after having completed his term
of office, went to Nihart. Montana
where he was engaged in various
business enterprises for three years.
The strong ties of friendship and
peasant business associations
brought Mr. Duffy back from Mon
tana to North Dakota and in 1893 he
returned to Grafton to accept the an
pointment of deputy collector of Gus
toms, with headquarters at Walhalla
This appointment was made under
the second administration of Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland and his seven
years OF service was marked by an
efficient, accurate and thorough SER
vice.
In Drug Business.
Mr.. Duffy retired from his posi-
ton to engage in the drug business
IN Wallialla with William Camden.
which he conducted for four years.
He was compelled to give his bust
ness In Walhalla on account of III
health and went to Oklahoma CITY.
where he remained for one year. In
1904 Mr.. Duffy was called to the no.
sition of secretary of the democratic
state central committee under Chair
man B. s. Brynjolfson. and worked
enthusiastically with his associates.
at a time when his party seemed to
face certain defeat. Under Governor
John Burke's administration Mr..
Duf1y served as deputy oil inspector.
In Fenian Uprising.
The death Of Mr.. Duffy recalls to
the minds of his countrymen the
Fenian uprising in ireland in 1867.
The leaders of the uprising besides
John T. Duffy were jeremiah o'Don-
ovan Rosa. John Martin, James
Stevens and Edward Duffy, a brother
of John T. Duffy. The plans Of the

(Sir e. CARSON is running great
risks and no one can deny it, in
strife. Why will he not run some
risk for peace. The key is in his

firmly. in spite of all the antagonism
and partisanship Of our politics and
our conflicting party interests, that
peace with honour is not beyond the
reach of all. Tomorrow it may be
gone for ever. I am going to run
some little risk on my own account

the right hon. and learned gentle
man say boldly, "Give me the amend

ask for to safeguard the dignity and
the interests of Protestant Ulster.
and In return will use all my influ-

an integral unit in a federal system
If the right hon. gentleman used
language of that kind in the spirit
Of sincerity with which everybody
will instantly credit him, it would go
far to transform the political situa-
ton. and every man would be bound
to reconsider his position in relation
to these great controversies. If such
language were used, firmly believe
that all that procession of hideous
and hateful moves and counter
moves that we have been discussing
and are now forced to discuss. and
that hateful avenue down which we
have looked too long. would give
place to a clear and bright prospect
which would bring honour and not
discredit to all concerned, and would
save these islands from evils for
which our children will certainly
otherwise hold us accountable.

WHERE ARE THE DOCTORS?

Managements of medical schools
are expressing some alarm as to
where the future supply of physicians
is to come from. 1t is q profession
that was formerly regarded as over
crowded. Yet figures just made up
snow only 1908 medical students In
the country now, against 27,615 ten
years ago.
The financial outlook is not very
encouraging to the young doctor.
He can so back to some country
town, in which there happens to be a
gap. and work up a practice in the
arduous life of driving about the
country roads. Or If he goes to a
city OF some size he may have to sit
around his office many years until
he attains recognized standing. He
may get the business In less time If
he has social gifts which give him
prominence. But II is a ticklish thing
to turn social relations into business
ties.
Apparently "A great many young
men of scientific habit of mind, who
used to become doctors, are now
turning their attention to electricity,
engineering and other technical lines.

LIMIT THEIR POWERS.

II there is no limit to the tax levy
and the assessed valuation may touch
the ceiling at all points It begins to
look as though the public would be-
taxed out of its boots, says the Port
land Telegram. II was believed II
would be fine thing to have stun
ming assessment roll We've got one
that beats Seattle by over a hundred
million dollars. On the other hand
our public officials may run up our
levy as high as they please.
Among the other suggested amend
ments to the recently enacted tax
levy law II would doubtless be good
sense for the next Legislature to limit
the tax levy. Then when we neeC
something more than that will brinl
let us have bond issue, voted will
the peoples approval. In this wa!
we will have a sort OF check upon oul
public officials without II taxes will
soon be only another word for con
fiscation.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial PEN
Want of Thought.

1t is trite, homely old adage that
says, More wrong is wrought by
want of thought" etc. Certain it is
that the mass of suffering and TRACE
dies of the world are the direct re-
suit of Incidence and thoughtlessness.
The old parable of the thoughtless
grasshopper who sang all summer
and starved when the season of
dearth came, is verified daily. Too
many young people fail to take an
earnest view of life, and too many
suffer for their thoughtlessness. In
this land, where fortunes are piled
up from poverty, there is too often a
tendency toward the belief that this
is luck, rather than the result of toll
and industry, and, above all, pc
cuIiar genius for money-making that
a few possess.
The boy, therefore, imagines it will
do no harm if he idles for while.
When he is ready to settle down he
can easily acquire wealth by, a pc
culiar sharpness that quite likely he
does not possess. He forgets or fails
to comprehend that even if he is pos
sessed of financial genius it must also
be united with prudence and q mod
crate amount of industry to achieve
career. A great many boys AMI
girls fail to make themselves valu-
able to their employer because their
aim is not to do their work well, but
simply to earn wages. They are ever
eager to be through and slow to be-
gin. Such workmen never rise be-
yond mediocrity. Boys in this coun-
try are too often outstripped by for
eigners in the shops and trades be-
cause they lack systematic business
habits. They have not been trained
to their work as the foreign youth
has been, under the sternest of all
masters-necessity.

Criticism Stimulates Dancing of
Tango. -


Since the subject of the new
dances has assumed such Importance
that the vatican at Rome has eX-
pressed view on the matter, it seems
that fresh impetus has been given to
dancing, especially to the tango. The
tango, you may remember, was ac-
cused of the charge of immodesty. A
committee of dignitaries in London
and another in Rome investigated the
dance, and both concluded that the
tango had been falsely charged If
anything, it was too sedate, too slow
and too much like the old-fashioned
minuet-all of which is very true, ex-
cept that it takes grace and skill to
do the intricate steps-which is what
makes it so fascinating.
However, all this has but revived
all manner of old dances, particularly
those of sunny Spain and Italy, where
the love OF song and rhythm has al
ways been a national entertainment.
American dance experts declare all
the old dances of the Latin countries
are coming to America, and that the
tango is but the forerunner of manv
/ others,

THE MODERN NOVEL.

The old-time novel took a very
high moral tone. The hero was a
fank-faced and clear-eyed youth, who
struggled against fate and circum-
stances, and who fell in, love with a
high-minded girl. Finally they mar
ried and lived happy for ever after.
Marriage now is apt to be a rather
early incident in the story. The hero
has fatal capacity for picking out
the girl he didn't want. This of
course was not due to his own lack
of brains, but to some fateful decree
OF physical passion, which he could
MT help. Afterward he discovers that
his wife is nobody. Around in the
next street is a pure and high ideal
of femininity whom he should have
selected in the first place. Hence
ructions!
Sex feeling is big element in hui
man life, but it is not everything.
AS life grows more complex with its
struggles of business, society, politics,
a great many other interests meet
and clash and create dramatic situa-
tions worthy of fine fictional treat
ment. The best fiction writer's are
giving more and more prominence to
these other aspects of lifet
Ten years ago the railroad station
news stands were covered with long
libraries of paper 10 and 20 cent nov
els. Now they are apt to be put un-
der the counter, while the news deal
er displays newspapers and illustrated
magazines. II is comparatively rare
today to see a man reading a novel
ON the train. Perhaps one trouble is
that modern writer's have given the
sex motif such a morbid prominence
that it surfeits healthy minded peo.
pie. AS some one has said, the mod.
ern novel is to erotic, neurotic and
tommyrotic.

PARCEL POST FILLS BILL.

The passing OF the United States
Express Company, which its directors
voted to dissolve, will throw 5000
persons out Of employment, about
1000 OF whom work in the New York
and Jersey City offices, says the
Salem Statesman. These employees
received in salary and wages approx
imately $6,0O0,O0O a year. of which
5000 was paid to employees at
Jersey City alone. Many of these en-
ployes, especially in the larger offices,
have grown old in the service of the
company, and It was said that few OF
them were financially able to retire
from active employment of some sort.
The prospective dissolution will af-
feet express service covering 32,93S
tmiles OF railroad, with between 5000
and 5000 stations, according to a
statement made public by Duncan |.
Roberts, president of the company
since January, 1918. Mr. Roberts
said that the new rates fixed by the
Interst2te Commerce Commission
were the chief factor in influencing
the directors. Mr.. Roberts also
blamed state rate commissions, which
he declared ordered rates in some
instances lower than those fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Continuing, MIR. Roberts said: ."There
is no quarrel over the parcel post; it
fills a want the express companies
never could, with the utter impracti-
cability of rural deliveries by them.
The fault lies with the change in
rates"

Oregon Woman On
Child Welfare Board

After ten years of continued activ-
ity along the various lines of child
welfare work in Oregon, Mrs. Robert
II. Tate of Portland was recently ap-
pointed national chairman OF child
hygiene for the national Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions.
This is the first time such an honor
has been conferred upon an Oregon
woman. The appointment carries
with it place on the board of man
agement. The Department of Child
Hygiene has become so extensive it
is necessary to divide the work into
two or three sections.
Mrs. Tate will have supervision of
the states west OF the Rocky noun
tains. Special effort will be made to
reach young mothers, through child
hygiene departments in each state.
These state departments will en-
deavor to have child hygiene commit
tees at work in all the parent-teacher
| circles and cooperate with the city,
county and state boards OF health.
Special emphasis will be laid on
the Importance of proper food, cloth
ing, rest and fresh air, in fact all that
will tend to give the child good
physical foundation. The chairman

Mrs. Gard, president of the Sun
shine Society, said. in speaking of the
price to be charged for admission to
the Helen Keller lecture: Yes, no
doubt we could fill the house at a
dollar ticket, but the people cannot
afford to bring the children at that
price, and it is important that every
school child see Helen Keller, for her
achievements will be an inspiration to
the children, and the price was made
25 cents to the children. This is the
Ashland spirit. In many places the
predominant idea would have been to
make as much profit as might be for
the society, but in Ashland we are
more interested in developing ambi-
tion and high ideals In the rising gen.
eration than in boarding up wealth.

JUDGE CLEETON'S TAX DECISION.

Half of your taxes can be paid now
and the other half in September, is
the decision handed down in a Multi
nomah county case by Judge Cleeton.
This decision, of course, affects only
those taxpayers of Multnomah county,
but it sets legal precedent that
should be followed throughout the
state. Upon the basis of this decision
the county court of Jackson county
should instruct the county treasurer
to receive tax moneys on this basis.
If there is anything crude in the state
laws of Oregon, its tax system is the
crudest. With the U'Ren single tax
ers batting at the tax ball, the legis-
lature trying to trim for public favor,
and public officers trying to get every
penny possible into their hands to be
spent, the dear people are left in a
bad way. The tax system of Oregon
should be revised intelligently and
completely, and settled for season
so that the average citizen may know
where to get on and off.
