GOVERNOR WEST AS A REFORMER CORRESPONDENT MAKES ANALYT ICAL EXAMINATION OF THE VICE CRUSADE FIGHT MILL GO ON FOREYER. The forces of evil are alwayB mjissed and hard to divide. They liave lenrned how to fight and keep on fighting. If defeated thoy only go at the harder and In the end almost always win out. Tholr loader, as old as eternity, believes In war, and Is al ways at It. Ho has had, In the Indi vidual and In the world, few defeats, and will not say so when he Is defeat ed. For ages God has been trying his hand In this warfare with evil, and up to dato It looks as f the devil Is ahead. The governor Is resourceful, and he will need to be before he Is lone. Evil can always depend on Its votaries, man to man, while the good are nearly always cowards. The gov ernor thinks the church people and the temperance people will stand by him. They will for awhile, but how soon they tire. They have been de feated so often that they yield too soon.' They have little or no heart to go at and Btay. Only a victorious army shouts and keeps on till the cleared sky tells of triumph, and the hills cheer the victors. Churches and temperance resolu tions look good, and to some sound like victory, but they never yet won a liattle. Defore this battle Is over WeBt's heart will grow sore, and he will feol lonely, and wonder where his warriors are. If the church was honest and In earnest, and the temperance forces true to what thoy profess this lonely man would never have needed to take upon him this battle. We would have won out long ago, and evil would not flaunt Itself right In our very faces, and drive home to the heart of human ity Is hard, cruol bargains, If those who profess so loudly to be for right had been true to tholr convictions. If West Is honest, and who doubts It, lie Is one of the greatest men now living. He would, If he could. He will yet startle the land. He will do good and, evil will feel, for awhile, the force of law, and justice, and then the war will be over, and again we will see the same things going on until the heart turns sick, and the good are made to wonder If, after all, It pays. The friendly papers toll of 3000 In a mass meeting in the Gypsy Smith tabernacle, To some that looks like a great meeting, and to the Inexperi enced, the mass of people, tell of Im minent victory. Hut when we remoni ber that there are enough church and temperance people In Portland to fill that Tabernacle six times, and then look at the thing oirty one-third full, It does not look like the millennium was very close, or that Oregon was going to lie reformed tomorrow. Kvll knows no luw. When it can not win victories It buys them. It Is good at bribery, and has the stuff with which to do It. It lias prostituted the race so long that It looks good to most people to be' humbugged. It is easier to believe a lie than the truth. We have treated moral battles so long as a joke that we smile when another fellow starts In. When the moral people, the church people, and the temperance force real ly want reform, and go at it, there will be no trouble to get It. If the bread and butter question would let us alono, for even a short time, we could all turn trood: but so lone hh tlint.

I'EOl'LE MHO SI'EM) THEIR MONEY OUT OF TOWN. (Editorial In the Jacksonville Post.) Perhaps one of the greatest, obsta cles a small city has to contend with In Its upward climb Is a tendency on the part of a number of its inhabi tants to spend their money out of town.- This is true of Jacksonville as well as other places. Money spent out of town, nine times out of ten, Is gone forever; money expended locally is circulated from hand to hand and Ib of lasting benefit to home people. Outside merchants and mall order houses have no material Interest In your city. Local merchants have) they want to see It advance. If you were soliciting donations to he expended in municipal improvement, to whom would you go with the better chance of success Sears, Roebuck & Co., or your home merchant or business man? How often Is the complaint heard that merchants In small towns do not carry a sufficient assortment of goods one can't get what one wants. Create a demand by naklng your local mer chant for what you want and he will Burprise you by his alacrity In sup plying your needs. What Is true of the mercantile business is true of all. It is the part of good citizenship to patronize home Industries, businesses, crafts and professions whenever possible.

Tho development of this town is one man's duty; Nor Is It the duty of any one group of Its people. The Individual must not hesitate to start the work; His neighbors should not hesitate to help It along. No one element, can accomplish de sired results alone; Neither will one element alone be benefited thereby, i It Is to the Interest of all and the , business of all; One man may originate, but all men must execute. The first duty of each one Is to enl'st the aid of all; The duty of pll Is to promote Jthe In terest of each. The development of this town is no one man's duty; This town's development (s the town's opportunity. This town's welfare is the whole town's business LET US GET RC8Y!
