The Portland shipbuilding industry
is threatened with paralysis by strike
that is being agitated by the union
leaders to enforce demand fer the
closed shop. The unions have no
complaint about hours or wages. but
declare that they are determined to
enforce the closed shop rule which will
prevent the employment OF any but
union workmen. The employers are
preparing to fight this demand and
tie-up pl the shipbuiding industry in
Portland is possible for time at least.
The feeling engendered by the demands
of the labor representatives is growing
bitter in Portland and the commercial
bodies are backing the employers in
the fight against what they term the
un American purpose OF discriminating
against one class OF labor in favor Of
another,

AS the session OF the legislature
draws near it appears that the fight
started in Seattle against the candidacy
OF G. E. Kelly, Of Tacoma, for speaker
OF the house. has died through lack OF
interest. Mr.. Kelly seems assured Of
the speakership by a safe margin OF
votes on the first ballot. The fight
started against him aroused the
suspicion that it was inspired less by
opposition to what he represents and
stands for in legislative matters than by
a design to gain control Of the house OF
representatives for some less obvious
purpose and the smaller counties
Immediately scented move to force
reapportionment along lines unfavorable
to them. The attempt to inject the
wet" and dry issue into the fight
by charging that Mr.. Kelly represents
the wet" interests fell of its own
weight, as Mr. Kelly's advocacy OF more
stringent dry" legislation is too we'll
known TO enable his opponents to
make any Roadway against him on
that issue.

Governor Lister has announced that
he will close the governors mansion
following the coming session OF the
legislature and live in a rented house
because OF criticism he was subjected
to in the recent campaign arising out
of the publication on ruling Of the
attorney general instructing the state
auditor to stop paying claims for per-
sonal service and subsistence OF the
governor and his family, which at that
time had amounted to over 800.
The announcement of Governor Lis
ter's has caused considerable comment
on the manner in which public funds
have been lavished in recent years by
officehoders as compared with ten
years ago. Governor Lister has
received and expended some $4,000
of state funds in four years on the
mansion account, in addition 20
receiving a salary OF Sc, 1000 year, or
$24, 900 for his terms. From state
hood until 1909 the governors salary
was $4,000 year and he was required
to pay all of his living expenses out OF
his salary, including house rent,
furnishing and maintenance.

HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.

Have Confidence In Yourself and Do
Not Lean Upon Others.
Power is the goal Of every worthy
ambition, and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9th
ers. Power IL self developed, self gen.
Grated. We cannot increase the strength
Of our muscles by sitting in a gym
nasium and letting another exercise
for US.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit Of leaning
upon others. If you lean you will never
be strong or original. Stand alone or
bury your ambition to be somebody in
the world.
The man who tries to give his chill
dren q start in the world so that they
will not have so hard q time as he
had is unknOwingly bringing disaster
upon them. What he calls giving them
a start will probably give them a set
back in the world. Young people need
all the motive power they can get
They are naturally leaDers, imitatOrs,
copiers, and it is easy for them to de-
velop into echoes or limitations. They
will not walk alone while you furnish
crutches; they will lean upon you just
as long as you will let them.
One Of the greatest decisions that a
human being could ever have is that
he is permanently benefited by continu-
ed assistance from others. - OrisOn

HANGING UNM0UNTED FLAGS.
Correct Position Of the Union TO the
Eye Of the Observer.

Correct Position OF the Union 70 tne
Eye Of the Observer.
1t is sometimes bit puzzling to
know Just how to hang a f1ag-just
what Ia the correct position Of the
union. A letter to the New York Trib-
une tells exactly how It should be
hung:
"All rules for hanging against wall
a Tag which Is not attached to Its stan
are in reference to the right or left
hand Of the observer. The union will
be in the upper right hand corner II the
stripes are perpendicular. Thus on a
street running north and south the
flags on the east side will have their
unions toward the north and those Oh
the west side will all have their unions
toward the south unless some Of them
are hung with stripes horizontal. when
the position of the union will be re-
versed. As one drives down the street
this may give at first the impression
that there is no uniformity, though all
the flags may be correctly hung. but
every flag will be right side out despite
the diversity
The writer adds that a street banner
should be hung across the street at an
equal distance from both curbs; that
Tag not attached to a staff hung upon
a wall should have the union at the
top; that the union should be at the
left Of the observer II the stripes are
horizontal; that the union should be at
the right Of the observer II the stripes
are perpendicular.

Touchy People.

Beware of touchy people. There are
always some about ready to poster you
in some way. Hurry on past 50 you
cannot hear them and above all refuse
to deny what they say. Just keep
sweet and go ahead and let their un
kind words swelter in the cleaning
How much time and patience are vast
ed on touchy people! And yet such
people think they are the salt of the
earth and everybody else dirty water
1t is a real wickedness to be touchy. 1t
Is as bad as lying and cheating. 1t
does the world as much harm. We
knew a touchy person one time whose
loneliness struck in on him and he
died. We hope all our gentle readers
will escape 80 sorry a fate.-Ohio State
