HEREIN LIES A WEAKNESS. Socialism has a weak point that is assuming larger proportions every day. Of course there are week points in all other theories of government, bnt we refer more to Socialist cause in respect to its possible chance of attain ing ascendency in power. There are but two uses for govern ment, the one protection of the per son, the other protection of property. Most people believe that that the person will be fairly well protected uondor any form of free government. But how about property? In all the socialistic propaganda runs an undercurrent of a sort of spirit of destruction, publio spirited men set on foot in Portland an enter prise that is naturally intended to benefit the whole west. An observ ing person cannot fail to see how many persons of socialistic ideas fall in line to tear the enterprise down. As soon as Socialism begins to be recognized as a possible power in our government, people will begin to ask if, under its rule, their little saving laid by for old age will be protected. Is the Socialist party laying the pro per ground work to place it in a posi tion such that it can give a re-assuring auswor? If its hand is against everybody and everything, it is only a matter of a short time when every body and everything will be turned against it. There are many whose reason takes them along Socialistic lines. Prejudice is probably a stronger impelling factor than reason, how ever, and the arbitrary methods of the exponents of Socialism may certainly be expected to give birth to a pre judice that reason can never overcome. UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPER. Little Eddy Londy, seven years old, was taken last week from Portland the Oregon Iimane Asylum. No 'tiou should be made of his heart . " king experience, except that from lesson may be drawn of the danger that lios in an unoarbod temper. When but two years old, his tod dling feet brought him too near lug infuriatod parent, who struck him on tho head with a heavy strap ho chanooa to hold in liis hand. The light wont out from the little life, consciousness returned, but the darkness that camo over the toudor mind will novor bo liftod. Tho fury of a moment did damage that a lifotime cannot ropuir when William Londy struck from his and tho mother's lifo tho only sunshine of thoir homo, their . only baby boy. Tho grief and despair of that house hold cannot bo picturod the father uiUHt bear the cousoquonoo of his rashuoHH without consolation, without sympathy throughout his wretched, bitter lifo. The wrong, ho can in no part repair. Always in the day, ever at night, lie will see his baby boy clutcli with tiny hands tho strap that Bhut out tho light from his little soul, he will sis little Eddy gnaw at the uils that struck him, even as he did 1 hat futal dny. is it not enough to teach us tho danger of an unbridled passion? May not (his very weakness of character, if uncurbed, if unconquored, deprive us, some day, of the dearest of all that we hold door in lifo? Who cait forget, under whoso notice this incident has come, when angry passions riso, the little darkened lifo into which no ray of light will ever come, the little form with roasou gone, waiting for the years to creep past until the kind Angel of Death shall oomo? The coming meeting of the state grango in Oregon City will bo a source of mucli ueueni 10 uie peopieoi Clack' usaa County. Ihe Orange 1 ims held State sessions for 19 yean and if an Important and growing factor in the affairs of Oregon. In Clackamas county it is especially strong, due, in a great degree ,to the untiring efforts of its State secretary, Mrs. Mary S. Howard, of Mulina The Record takes much pride in the Grange and con gratulates the 'organization upon its succe sf ul and continued existence, and stands ready at all times, to give every aid within the power of a newspaper to such a worthy cause. The sale of the Tip Mason place at Redland recalls a rather peculiar condition of affairs. The farm was owned by a man named Pepple, wno died and left the place to his wife. She, with several children, were not the sort of people to' do hard farm work and she was compelled to ask the county for aid. which she received. The purchase of the farm by a Ger man, from Minnesota, at a price of $1650, will place her on easy street, and she need have no fear of the immediate future, at leaBt. This is the busy season in the coun try and the quiet days in town. The farmers are hard at work on the farms, orchards and hop yards and have no time to come to the county seat to trade or talk politics. If the man with the hoe does his work now, at the time it should be done, he will have plenty of time for an occasional trip away from home later in the year. PERSONAL MENTION. D. H.
