HOSES IY A SAFE fOLICY (Cc.u:i!e Bulletin) In these dtys c! money making, when every energy is bent to the one purpose of accumulating a pile of th: 3!tby lucre, some cynics have remarked that Frank lin's adage that "honesty is the best p. Hey" ii out of dste. IVe do not take so ncrrow a view of the matter, bow- a ever, bn. believe the old adage still as socd and true as it ever was. . To those who think otherwise, we would guffest a substitute, 'at least that hoewty is the safest pohcy. The editor of the Bulletin onco visited the Oregon penitentiary at Salem and oyery sines, be has bed a wholetome fear cf violating the laws of his stnte. If tor so ether reason, this is sutlicient "in ducement" for him not to stuff a sub scription list and then swear to it. For ia Oregon, perjury ie a penitentiary of fense. If a man subscribes for the Bulletin, aodonot consider him, his wife and 3nd each of hid children a bona fide subscriber to the Bulletin. At least, we are not willing to swear to it. . ,. When a postofQce has been discontinu ed for months and months and pr3?r official notice thereof has been given, so do not conelder that we have aoy bona fide subscribers receiving their papers at that office. At least, we arc not willing to swear to it. When a new man comes to town and we send him ono or two sample copies of the Bulletin, we do not consider him a bona fide subscriber. At leant we are not willing to swear to it. When a man refuses to toke the Bul letin, we do not consider him a bona fide subtcriber. At least we are not willing to swear to it. When a man refuses to take the Bul letin out of tbo pcEtoffico (which rarely occurs) and the post xnaeter sends ue official notice to that effect, as required hy the post&l laws, we elup Eending him the paper and take his nanu off our liet t :.d do not consider him a bona fide eub eeriber. And if wo left bia name on our list and still continued to send him the paper, woEhould not, even then, consid er him a bona fido subscriber. At least we would not be willihg to awear to it, If, eav out of forty subscriber who vecqlyed their papers at one postdfficej1, thirty of them had refused to tako their papers from the office and wo had been notified of each oue as above, we pbould not consider that wo still had lorty bona Ado QubEcribors receiving their papers at that postoflice, At least, wo are not willing to ewoar Vo. it.
