ABOUT V ARIO U S THINGS.
The w eek’s news has been quite lively. W e have had the usual
murder, we have had a police scandal, we have had considerable
polities, we have seen Additional .Market Inspector Joe Singer ousted
by the Board o f Health, and we have a strike in our midst.
Also the
dailies have told us that the hank clearings have beaten Seattle’s,
and that Portland is the greatest wheat-shipping port in the North
west.
And one of our cheerful contemporaries is still trying to get a
municipally-owned steamship line to the Orient.
In other words, we
have had quite a usual week o f it.
There isn’t much o f interest in the murder.
A man who was con
siderable of a beau seems to have come to grief over a personal
affair.
dals go.
The police scandal wasn’t much of a scandal, as police scan
Matron Simmons and the police stenographer were reported
to have coveted finery that somebody else stole; and a little later the
finery was found where it didn’t belong, and A cting Chief Slover
told the hoys that there wasn’t any scandal at all.
(Continued from Page 1.)
your club should feel that any vote of
mine has not been cast in g.»od faith
and according to my best judgment, I
will readily give way to any other good
citizen.
It is a fact that I voted ag linst cut
ting the streetcar fare in two, ¡o lely for
the reason that such action raa often
been declared by the courts to be un
constitutional. H ow ever, that measure
passed the Council, and I knew’ when I
voted against it that it wo» Id pass.
The courts w ill now determine ts valid
ity, and all good citizens will be satis
fied.
I beg to say, in conclusior, that I
fu lly appreciate the many friends I
have in the Mount Scott country, and
have always been ready and glad to as
sist your community in securing the im
provements which your club may en
dorse, and I shall be glad to have you
call upon me at ajiy time fo r any aid
within my power.
W ishing your club and your com
munity in securing improvements which
your club may endorse, and I shall be
glad to have you call upon me at any
tim e fo r any aid within my pow’er.
W ishing your club and your com
munity the success which they so rich
ly deserve, I beg to remain,
Very sincerely yours,

The strike that we have in our midst is by fa r the most important
thing.
Like many other strikes, it was a foolish and ill-advised
demonstration of a small portion o f organized labor.
The greatest
sufferers will be the strikers themselves, and the families o f some
other men who went out on an altogether wrong sympathetic strike.
The printing trade will suffer a little, but not very much.
The strike
was over a matter o f $2.00 a week in additional wages, and the work
done is not worth the extra wages.
In fact, men who were getting
fourteen dollars a week, and who struck for sixteen, are now being
replaced by workers who are perfectly satisfied to get seven and a
half dollars. The strike was called for the purpose o f inflating wage
values unreasonably— and, ns such, it is doomed to fail.
Aside from these things, and some others, the week just closing
lias been productive o f many weird things in polities. The Bull
Moosers have gathered together almost two dozen strong— at Salem,
and have nominated a ticket that is wonderful to behold. Through
their machinations, one A. E. Clark, an attorney, has been hurled into
the Senatorial campaign, and will doubtless help to split up the Re
publican vote some more, so that a Democrat can again he returned
from the sovereign and Republican State o f Oregon. Having Dem
ocratic Senators is now a habit with Oregon. The Bull Moosers have
also attached themselves to the L a fferty kite, anil have tied the can
to Daniel Kellaher, as have the regular Republicans.
Here in little old Portland politics have also been simmering more
or less. The Hon. Jonathan Bourne has returned to his home, and
is looking things over, preliminary to getting into the field once more.
Mr. MeCusker is smiling and hearing up under the failure o f the
Bull Moosers to accept him ns a standard-bearer.
Mr. Selling says
he is much pleased and satisfied with the outlook over the State; and
Mr. Mulkey is also smiling and happy. To date, it is a case o f pijj;
your money and take your choice.

if we could show you how thoroughly each gar

the laundered garment, and some o f the refresh

A single trial will prove a revelation in how
clothes really should be laundered.

If one thing more than another proves the ability of the International
Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, to raise the salaries of poorly paid
but ambitious men and women— to raise Y O U R salary— it is the monthly
average of .100 letters V O L U N T A R IL Y written by students telling of
salaries raised and positions bettered through I. C. S. help.
•
'i OU don't live so far away that the I. C. S. cannot reach you. Pro
