One hears on every side talk about
the 'housing problem." Are people
not making more of a problem out of
this than it really is. Are not nine
I people out of ten sidestepping the

of houses why do not the people build
instead of paying exorbitant rents

'states under other guises, hi some
I states it comes in as the Triple Al-
liance and in Oregon it appears as
the Land and Labor party. What-
ever its cognomen may be, it is still
the same old party in principle, and
advocates the same disastrous ideas
that prevail in North Dakota.
Undeniably this aggregation seeks
to enter the political field in the
state of Washington. In Seattle re-
cently it appeared as the Triple Al-
liance, and it may not be generally
known, but organizers are now at
work along these lines in Lewis coun-

taken very strongly to the radical
ideas advanced by its precious bunch
of organizers, but we will have to
admit that these fellows are mighty
good or.anizers, and have plausible
stories to tell which catch the up-

Even intelligent people seem to
like the system. An English lady
whom we know, who has herself
spent some time in America, was
telling us about her brother, who is
the manager of a factory in Bffalo.
She visited him and went through
the factory. "The men," she said,
"think he is just about right, but l
I don't like your American; ideas;'
they didn't even touch their hats to
him when he went through."
Many mptimists thought that the
war would change all this, but so
far as I'can see, it has not. To my
mind the existence of a class system
is a very serious obstacle to the pro-
gress of any nation. It is a vicious
circle. Ignorance and consciousness
of inferiority make them accept the
situation. Of course, in England to-
day, it is possible for an individual
to rise above his class, and to go far,
but this is a trifling mitigation, not
a solution. In Americat equality of
opportunity is' at least an ideal whose
force all admit. Here, it has not
even that status.
Ob.viausly, the one solution of such
a prbblem i education, aml the only I
way to keep such a question from I
arisifig in our conntry (there are l
signs of it in the East) is more edu- I
cation. J.H. BINN s. [

STUMPAGE FOR SALE
which to "step on 'er" occasionally
have gone' glimmering for this year,
it is up to the County Board to put
the highways in as good condition as
10ossible to withstand the heavy wear
in pros)ect from a greatly increased
traffic this season. Gravel and the
drag in frequent use during the
spring season will do much toward
strengthening the roads for heavy
duty.
TO REVOLUTIONIZE POWER
The Journal has received a con-
soling letter from a gentleman in
Lewis County, who tells us not to
worry over the prospective loss of
our power site, becats%he has in-
vented a hydro-electric pbwer system
which makes it possible now to har-
ness and generate electric power frofn
any body of water, such as rives,
lakes, creeks or wells, without the
need of special power sites, natural
water falls or dams, and there is
still enough water in Mason County
t) supply the needs of its people for
a lifetime. Incidentally he •requires
a little financial assistance to perfect
his patents and make demonstrations,
in i.eturn for which he will assign an
. interest in his invention. We pass
on th information with the sugges-
tion that there is a fortune, in the
idea, which will some day revo.lution-
tze power and industry.
