'ftOSEBtlRd, Oftg flON, MAY 15719227 A PERIOD OF COMPETITION. t The complaint has been frequently made during recent years tjiat in many lines of business competition has plmost ceased to exist. Understandings and agreements were so common among . combinations of business men, that prices of many kinds of goods tended to be uniform. The war period and the two years imme diately following it, had a tremendous effect to deaden competi Iron. Manufacturers and wholesalers could sell all the goods they could make, and the tendency was strong to give up the earnest effort to produce the best goods at the lowest prices. Even if they had no understandings with competitors, they might feel so sure of business that they would relax on the constant effort to im grove'their merchandise. The period of quiet business that suc ceeded these flush times, has been useful in reminding people that tjiis is a world of competition and effort. There are always more firms doing business than can continue permanently. Life is a struggle, and the fittest survive, while the unfit and incompetent hive to go to the wall. This is likely to be the permanent condi tion in industry, for war conditions were exceptional and could rrpt last. There is such a thing as destructive competition, where business people cut under each other not so much to get trade and piease the public, as in the hopes of ruining the other fellow and driving him out of business. That never pays. But there is a fair and legitimate competition that is in the interest of the pub Hb, and which brings good rewards to those who play the game reasonably. The man who i3 going to win success in these times hits got to show superiority. He must deliver a better article for less money or give better service, or irt some way offer the public more than others do. Above all, he must let the public know what he is doing through advertising. S o ' Governor Olcott fired a loud salute from the state capital Sat urday. The "working forces!" for the two leading candidates for governor Olcott and Hall are rarin' to go. The issue is plain enough now. There is no real political motive in the closing days of the nresent ramniiimi between these two .ftndiHntes. Tr. has re solved into what can well be termed a "real religious war," the Ku Klux Klan standing pat for Hall, while adherents' to the Catholic faith will support Governor Olcott. To those who have the best interests of the state in mind this'condition does not savor of wholesome results. It is the beginning of a struggle that will upset the entire state, and the real sensible way to dispose of the issue would be to put a man at the head of the state govern ment who is broad enough, fair enough and has the good common sense to give a business administration, eliminating every phase of religious controversy. It is, indeed, a sad plight for this great state to attempt to regulate any person's religious belief through the channels of state government. : o An interesting scheme for controlling automobile speeders has recently been devised in St. Louis, by organizing "traffic vigi lantes." This body consists of 325 men who have rledired them selves to report violations of the traffic law. Their identity is not known. They have adopted the slogan, "Make St. Louis the safest city in the world to live in." They turn in on an average 600 re ports each week of violations, and have reported as many as 2000 in one week; The result has been to keep down accidents and re strain many people who otherwise would be reckless. The vigi lantes take the number of offendinor cars, and reoort them to the police, and the driver is summoned to appear before the authori ties and state what exceuse he can give for his conduct. A system like this is needed in most large places and in some smaller cities to get reckless driving under control. o , One of the worst features of a period of quiet business is that m many people lie around idle and make no effort to improve themselves. In the Canton of Geneva in Switzerland, where.there has been much unemployment, idle people are required to iake praclicul and technical courses which will help them when they find work. Mechanics are given courses in carpentering, cabinet making, iron working, etc., so that when they get a job again they win be more likely to make good. In this country many people who were idle last winter should have attended night schools and mted themselves for more useful service. Unemployment is now rapidly decreasing as business starts up, but people who have no jod ought to be making extensive plans to cultivate gardens or should be doing something to improve their equipment for wage earning Berime flNcfctn's at xtt a LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE GOOD EVENING FOLKS When girl's engaged ' She ia willing to press A man's trousers From eight till eleven p. m.

Haslett Writes of Trip Home The following letter which it is be lieved will prove of interest has been received from H. K. Haslett, formerly county agent here, who is now on his way io his home in Massachusetts: Marshalltown, Iowa, May 6, laii. D. W. Bates, Roseburg, Oregon. Dear Friend Bates: I am spending a little time here on our way home and thought that a lit tle note to the friends in Roseburg would be appreciated. The trip from Roseburg here was uneventful. Through the Sacramento valley it was warmer than at Rose burg, and everything In the farming line much more . advanced than at home. As we camo further on our journey the crops were in better shape, grass was green and strong Jiaii and lhompson have "gone to bat" with an exchange of personal letters a system of getting considerable advertising for nothing Only four more days to make up your mind who you are going to voto for. And you'll have to hurry. plory Looks like the primary campaign will close in a "blaze of the nature's combined forces. s s at AN OLD ONE. A well-known doctor brought a dys peptic farmer a big brown pill. I want you to try this pill at bedtime," he said. "It's a new treatment ana if you manage to retain it on your stomach it ought to cure you." The next day the 'doctor called again. "Did you manage to retain that pill on your stomach?" he asked eagerly. Well, the pill was aN right as long as I kept awake," said the farmer, but every time I fell asleep it fell off." . 1 , , Two strange bulldogs can settle an argiment a durn sight quieter'n some married humans.

On a trip down town this morning I noticed some "so-called" cauliflower In three store windows. 1 inquired further and found that it waa Oregon broccoli. I have- the names of the growers and will write Manager White about it as soon as possible. The store keepers pay $3.75 a crate for it in Chicago and have the express to pay also. It retails for 20c a pound. The hearts are in good order. Some yellow leaves are' showing up, but they are not decayed any. Oregon apples are also on sale but not moving very fast. Farmers here are nearly up to nor mnl wilh their crops and the season Is considered good. The first rain that we have seen since leaving Ore gon came last night in a thunder shower. The temperature is much like RosebuiR. It has been around 65 to 75 degrena for the past week. ' In the msn to get away I forgot to arrange for continuing the dally paper. Please send it along so that I can keep track of the work I started and find nut who all the live wires are. Dead ones never, take a paper, much less advertise. Oregon broccoli will never be known as such until the growers get together as an- organization and ad vertise. Will try and drop you a line occasionally as I have opportunity, Kindest regards to all the . office force and yourself. Yours trulv, , , H. B. HASLETT.
