Cave HeckIers a Chance.

At one time the Republicans of Chi
cago were out and were fighting De-
mocracy on industrial conditions and
the putative helplessness of a situa'
ton which did not let the Republic
ans in. A parade had started off and
was we'll on it's way-nearly to the
file closers-when a ward boss saw
that two lighted transparencies lacked
carriers. He looked around hurriedly
and noticed that one of his retainers
was idle. Here" he yelled, Shout
der this and get in line" The shang-
haied recruit was a gambler who
busted himself in ward politics on oc-
casions, but for the most stuck to his
trade when trade was possible. AS he
hoisted the lighted legend, open up
the mills and factories" there was a
chorus of derisive yells from the side
walk: Never mind the mills. Open
up the poker games"

DEMAND is FOR ABLE MAN
High Positions Waiting for Those
Who Are Competent Properly
to Fill Them.

We know a big firm in one of the
Oldest and most important industries
in this country which has been hunt
ing for over a yeyar for man to
whom to pay $4,000, and they cannot
find him, writes the editor Of the
American Machinist.
We know an executive who wants
two or three men as assistants; If he
could find them in his plant he would
gladly pay them $40 week. He has
tried a considerable number in these
positions during the past year, but
without success as yet. He feels that
he is positively hampered by the lack
of them.
We know that there is an active de-
mand for $4,000 men, and we can
readily believe that there is a. keen
demand for $4,000 men.
1t is remarkable that in plant en-
ploying, say thousand men, there are
so few who raise themselves above
their fellows far enough to be con-
spicuous to the management. And
even, of those few, not all have the
initiative, the ginger, and faculty OF
being thorough that would make them
of value as assistants to the eXecu-
tive. What a god-send to the engineer

course, is the concern in the islands
themselves. Here it is everywhere and
continually the chief, almost the only
topic Of conversation.
The Philippine islands were of small
world-consequence in the old days
when they were governed-or mis-gov-
erned-from Madrid, by way Of Mexi-
co. A Spanish galleon, once a year
from Acapulco to Manila, was the only
permitted communication with West

The view expressed by General Agui-
naldo is held by every observer.
Nowhere else has there been so am
bilious an educational undertaking,
the effort to put an entire nation to
school. Only lack of revenue prevents
the extension of a public school sys-
tenn to every village. Even under ex-
listing conditions every child on the
larger islands and in the more popu-
lous communities fndsa public school
within easy reach. In Manila is nor
NAL school doing good work, an excel
lent high school and a growing univer-
sity, under the wise direction of Presi-
dent Thomas Bartlett, which has,
among other well equipped depart
ments, a medical school regarded as
the best in the far East. Industrial
and technical instruction is provided
in the more important centers. Eng
lish is compulsory in all these schools
and tuition is free. The Spanish Ian
guage is still in everyday use in Ma
Mia. because, said a Filipino, we court
ed our sweethearts in that language,
but the younger Filipinos speak Eng
lish and its use is rapidly becoming
general.
Great Progress in Sanitation.
The Americans have instituted
other reforms than that in education.
In the matter of public health much
progress has been made. A system of
sanitation and the drilling of artesian
wells for better water supply have
lowered the death rate in some places
SO per cent Cholera and smallpox
have been practically eliminated, lep-
ers have been segregated and plague
spots have been made clean and
healthful for human habitation. There
is no place in all the Orient freer from
disease. The road system has been
extended until there are nearly two
thousand miles of hard-surfaced high
ways. far superior to most of the main
roads in Missouri or the middle West,
with many excellent bridges. Fine har-
Dor works have been constructed at

the principal ports. Irrigation sys-
TENS have been established, agricul-
ture has been promoted and new lines
opened up.
In the maintenance of law and order
and the administration of justice the
change has also been striking. The in
compatibility of judiciary, represen-
tative of the best American type, has
succeeded a reign Of bribery. The CEN
trail penitentiary, Biibid prison, in
Manila, is conducted on most progress
sive lines and the penal colony at Iva
hig constitutes a daring but successful
experiment in the reformatory treat
ment of criminals. When it is recalled
that all this-and much more-has
been accomplished in a tropical coun-
try where none of these things exist
ed, and in Is years, the Americans may
well, in the language Of the political
platforms, point with pride
Natives Want self-Government.
While the dwellers in the Philip
pines, native and foreigner alike, agree
as to the past and the present and
unite in praising the good accom-
plished, there is, when the future is
considered sharp divergence of opin-
ion The Filipinos, almost without ex-
ception, wish self-goverument. They
are a unit in praising the present ad-

Governed for the FiIipinos.
The record of the United States in
the archipelago can be studied with
pleasure by every American citizen,
whatever his opinions may be as to
the acquisition or disposition of these
islands. 1t is, with one or two lament
able exceptions, a record of unselfish,
efficient, honest public service. There
has been little or no selfish exploita-
ton. Administration has been for the
benefit of the Fi1ipinos. Outside the
army and Notifications expenses, the
cost of the administration has been
met by local taxation and this taxation
has been turned into the Philippine
treasury for local service. The Amer.
leans are amateurs in colonial govern
ment. They lacked experience when
they took up the burden here. Per
haps for these very reasons they en-
tered upon the work with enthusiasm
and conducted it without falling into
the grooves of ancient officialism
which mar much of the colonial gov
eminent of other and older nations.

RATIoNs FOR BoARs.
Breeding Animals Should Be Kept In
Good Condition, but Not Fat.

Breeding Animals Should Be Kept In
Good Condition, but Not Fat.
After boar is fully matured his
feed should be SO regulated that he
will always be in good breeding con-
dition. He should not be too fat, else
he will become sluggish and clumsy.
With good pasture and forage crops in
season, the amount of grain fed need
not be large, from two to four pounds
of dry feed per 100 pounds live weight.
This amount should be increased dur
ing the heavy breeding season. A
good ration for mature boars consists
of three parts each Of corn, oats and
shorts mixed with one part of meat
meal or tankage.
A boar should be kept in service as
long as he proves to be sure, active
breeder. When he begins to fail as a
pig getter he should be replaced by
younger boar. The tusks should be re-
moved before they become too long, as
they are dangerous weapons. The
boar may be held by tying moose In
one end of small rope and slipping
this over the upper jaw and tying the
other end securely to post.-Orange

0. p. Hoff, whose oath OF Office is
his platform, his record his guaranty,
and his experience protection against
loss Of life, limbs and health, IS
worthy of the support of all republi-
cans at the primaries and i'll the cleo
ton for Commissioner of Labor
Statistics and Inspector of FACTORIES
and Workshops. Mr.. Hoff, during his
encumbency has prosecuted and COR
victed without fear or favor violators
of the laws which it is his duty to
enforce, and has probably accom-
plished more real good for the laborer
than any other single agency in the
state. He has judiciously expended
money at his disposal, turning into
the state treasury since January 1911,
over $4,000, which has aided in less
ening the tax burden of the people.
In brief, Mr.. Hoff presents to the
voters record Of work performed,
not promises. Through experience
he has learned the needs of the state,
the requirements of employers and
employees, and thus understanding
these conditions as they actually ex-
list he is in position to render to the
people of Oregon most efficient ser
vice.

temporary shed about a foot apart.
This top was covered with straw a
few inches thick and several rails
thrown on top of the whole thing to
hold the straw down when 1t was very
windy.
An inexpensive but almost necessary
thing in the farrowing pen is a railing
around the outside to keep the sows
from smothering the pigs for the first
few days. A plank from eight to
twelve inches wide Is set ten or twelve
inches from the floor and either nailed
or staked to the outside of the pen or
building. This leaves a protected
place under the plank where the sow
cannot get into, but where the pigs can
easily slip away when otherwise she
would crush them between the wall
and herself.

these are the minimum wage law, the

SHELTER FOR HOGS.
Provision Should Be Made to Shield
From the Hot Sun.


Farmers who grow only enough
hogs for home use and the usual other
farm needs seldom find that it pays
to arrange special buildings and yards
for them. Many times it is almost
necessary to pasture some of the sows
and sometimes all the pigs. But the one
drawback is the building of shelter
for them during the hottest part OF
the day without extraordinary ex'
pense. Owing to the short time these
pigs are out in the field it is seldom
found profitable to prepare one, yet
much good pasture would be used II
there were protection.
