Among the items that go to make np fho enormous government expend itures, one by no means small is the provision for salary and expense of numerous commissions, such as the Panama Canal Commission. The interest of the government does not, as' a rule, require the services of these commissions, but it is considered absolutey necessary, among politi cians, to have places for those com monly known as "lame ducks." When the people of a state decide that the services of a man who lias represented them at Washington are no longer re quired, he usually looks about him for an easy place to light. Little favors he may have been able to show the President, or the remaining influence that may be '.with him in his declin ing glory, usually secures him the favor of an appointment. For many who reprsont their states at the national capital, such favor be comes, from the politicians' stand point a real necessity. When mon without private fortune leave bohiud them the frugal habits which they have been accustomed, to join in the social whirl and extrav agance of Washington life, even the iron hand of necessity fails to lead thorn back, submissively, to old as sociations and habits. In preference they become recipients of public boutny, enjoying thoir pen sion under the pretense of services rendered. It is indeed a misfortune that such a condition prevails in government circles at Washington as to make it impossimble for men of moderate means to represent their constituents there, without being subjocted to the temptation of receiving additional means of support from questionable sources. This condition will be, partly at least, done away with when sonators are eloctod by a popular vote, for then the United States senate will not be a clabrooin of American millenaries, such ns now set tho pace in Washing ton social life. friend in the face of great temptations to forsake him, and under a fire of threats and abuse that few would have had tho courage to withstand. MR. TOMPKINS' HIRED MAN. Th benefits arising out of such meet ings as that of the Clackamas County Grange hold in Oregon City last week cannot be too highly estimated. Tins is a day of united effort. In dividuality cannot compote with or ganization. There is no unavoidable reason why the prouder should not re ceive tho product of his toil. We have wot given up hope that tho day will come when tho "middle man," sitting in his oflloe of luxury and ease, will not bo permitted to reap whoro the laborer has sown. Ono of tho principal reasons why tho farmer has always enjoyed so small a part of tho fruits of his toil is his isolation or liis limited oppor tunity for exchange of opinion with others. Herein lies the benefit of the Grange, It brings those interested in ngricnltnre together to counsel and advise with one another. Tho farmers of Cluckamas County cannot do better than to uuito in this farmers' organ ization, whoso hope and prospect is to further their united interest. It is undoubtedly hard, even for politicians to become accustomed to the ups and downs of polities. Tom P. Randall is probably not giving the question sorions consideration at tho present tiuio. Neither is A. S. Dresser. But in all probability other gentlemen are reflecting on the uncertainties of political lifo. The poHtoflloe in Oregon City has been well managed. Those who know Mr. Randall have no foar that the service will be less sufllicont in the future. Mr. Mooros has mado'an exceptional record as rogister of the Oregon City Iand"oftle. Mr. Dresser has all tho qualifications necessary to insure an equal meritorious reoord. Ho is re eeiving his reward for standing by a Drama at Willamette Was Successful la Every Particular. Saturday evening over 200 people of Willamette and vicinity gathered in the school hall to witness the drama "Mr. Tompkins' Hired Man," in tliree acts. The cast was : Mr. Tompkins T. J. Gary Mrs. Tompkins . . .Miss Lizzie Shipley Julia Miss Bessie Capen Louise Miss Ada Egge Ruth Mrs. William lierdine John Remmington James Vaughan Dixie, the Hired Man C. A. Miller Terry Harry Berdine Too much cannot be said in favor of these amateur dramatists. Each and every part was fully sustained and the people of Willamette appreciated the effort. In the role of Mr. Tompkins, T. J. Gary excelled his previous effort in the dramatic line, while Miss Ship ley in her difficult part was simply par excellence. Miss Capen, Miss Egge, Mrs. William Berdine, James Vaughan and Harry Berdine sustained their parts in every particular in a manner worthy of professionals. To Mr. C. A. Miller the audience owed much, as his representation of the hired man was something decidedly flue. Imagine his burly form encased in blue overalls and blouse, flitting here and there all over the house, baking bread, washing dishes, setting table, cutting bread, and various other kitchen duties, all the while consoling the girls in thoir girlish troubles, interspersing here and there snatches of song in his deep, melodious voice, and you have a picture. The enter tainment was given iu the interest of the school library. DEATH OF 0. W. JONES. The funeral of Griffith W.'
