FIRST KILL OFF HUMAN NATURE, Organized labor has so far scorned tthe idea of joining the Socialist party, which shows good judgment on the jpart of labor unions. Material gams, in the shape of better wages today, is heir slogan. The great trouble with socialism is the same which the farm wr'a wife sometimes has while she is making butter it won't "come. Socialism has a beautiful theory of working good out of the mingled mass of humanity, but, unfortunately, hum canity doesn't want it that way at least not at this day. Before socialism can prevail, greed and selfishness must fce eliminated from human nature, and until then socialism will remain a beautiful dream. Socialists are work ing for the good of the 30th century, for which they are entitled to credit, fcut, according to our cook book, they should be served together with the zealous woman who robs herself and family to clothe and feed the heathen In a far-off country. While the principle is right, the application is wrong. Aurora Borealis. "'The principle ia right" says the "Boroalis." Let us not put a right jirinciple idly by. Right principles sare the life blood of a free nation. While we might not bo able to ac cept all the theories of the socialists, nnd while some of ub might reject all t)f them that are distinctly socialistic, wLen we concede that they are right, then is the time to subscribeto thom aind help to promote them. 3sTot necessarily byb ecoming a mem Xxir of the Socialist party, but by say ing "here is something advocated by tthe Socialist party that is right." If ;you believe that most of the principles 'advocated by the Republican party are .for the best interests of the Govern iiaont, and that the Republican purty -as an organization can run tlio Country better than any other organization, use you influence in the party to have it adopt tho policy that is right; no .matter where that policy originates. -A Lulievcr iu Prohibition could un odoubtedly do more to advance his cuuso by agitating it as a momber of )ithor of the dominant parties. Much "of socialism will come but we believe it will coiuo through eithor the Ro Tublican or Democrat ic Party. Many of its contentions are right and these will survive.. But tho sentiments of (the pooplo, and their different beliefs on public questions have been moulded .to conform in general to tho thoories tof either tho Republican or Democratic party, and tho procoss of formation hat luis beon going on for years will not be shaken in a day. , SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION. ' Through tho legislative act provid ing for tho consolidation of school districts, a grave problem confronts H hose interested in otir public school system. The act is not operative un less rati Hod at tho coming Juno school meetings. Every householder should hercfvro givo tho matter his most careful consideration. iAs is generally known, tho idea is to transport by wagon or otherwiso pupils that have heretofore attended neighboring schools, to one central district. While this is not an exper iment nltogither, it having been tried ' wupwshfully in some Eastern States, it is an experiment as applied to the con ditions in Oregon. Wo aro incliued to oubt tho advisability of a change in i lie present systtw. It has beon so suc cessful that wo can hardly hope to improvo on it. 15y the new arrangement largo bodies if children will bo Irought in contact with each other. A variety of know ledge, is doubtless absorbed by this as sociation. But in cities where this ndition prevails, while the children irobab!y become a little hotter equip jied iu book knowledge than uhildreu ka country schools, the country school c.klZilren loam more of tho practical wide iif life they are really hotter ti'qttippe'd for life's battle. Wo believe that tho absence of excitomeut ami tho k mixiutliry of a little country school jrive the child timo for reflection and be can cot have where large numbers of children are associated together. Out of these country schools has grown more of the manhood and womanhood of the nation than has come from the crowded city schools. This is but one phase of the question there are certainly advantages in consolidation worthy of careful con sideration but on an early considera tion of the subject we doubt if these advantages justify a change. SUPTORtlrHETB(MRDbF TRADE The business men of Oregon City have taken a step in the right dhec tion in re-organizing the Board of Trade. It is hoped that the committee appointed to carry out the plans of the last meeting will go to work in earnest and that all enterprising citizens and all who have the County's interest at heart will co-operate with and end the committee substantial aid. This is not such a rich community as push and enterprise might readily make it. A dozen or so years ago one wave of enthusiasm spread over the County, and within a year or two al most doubled its'wealth and resources. Proper organization and well direct ed effort would have carried that wave along until Oregon City's population would have numbered today fifteen or twenty thousand persons. Cities, no more than men, win dis tinction ' and wealth in the absence of constant, untiring effort. Every city owes much of its pros perity and success to the efforts of its Board of Trade. There is much ex pense connected with such enterprise, and this too often borne by the gen erous citizens of a community instead of those in independent financial cir cumstances. We hope in this instance, however, that when the list of sub scribers to the support of the Board of Trade is published, it will contain the names of all of Oregon City's citizens on whom the contributions will not be a burden.

Metal Votfns Was Charted By Both Sides Bat Northslderi Failed to Attend School Meettn( and the Southerners Won the Fljbt The center of the Dover school dis trict is in the bottom of a deep gulch and thereby hangs the tale. It is be cause of this gulch, known as Bear Creek canyon, the district has been noted for its factional scraps during the past two years. Mr. Roberts, of Dover, came in to pay his taxes Mon day, and was surprised beyond measure to hear that a special schoo 1 tax had been levied. He says he was going to do things, but nothing has been done yet. For several years past Dover has been in trouble over the location of the schoolhouse. There has been two factions, known as the north side and the south side. One year ago last Spring the school voters failed to effect organization and elect school officers but they finally did so, after County Superintendent Zinzer gave them some much needed advice. At the next an nual meeting, which was held last June, the proposition to build a new schoolhouse resulted in at tie and was referred to the county superintendent for a decision. He naturally preferred that the distrct should settle its own difficulties. Illegal voting was charged on both sides. A special meeting was called and the directors were author ized to go ahead and build a school house. But they could not agree on a location and the superintendent re quested them to call a meeting to de cide upon a location. In the notice of that meeting the clerk of the dis trict gave the choice of two locations whether the new schoolhouse should be erected on the old site or be changed to a site 40 rods nearer Bear Creek Canyon. Either location would place the building on the south side of the canyon while the north sidefs wanted the building on the north side of the canyon. When the meeting was held there was only one representative from the north side present and he was a director. That settled the question. Last Fall a new school house was built. Forty dollars was paid for a tract of about one acre. The northsiders would have donated the ground and have paid 10 in ad dition, but they did not make the offer in time. SUMMONS.
