.:; THE STOCK MARKET RISE.
' Business depressions are registered on the stock exchange
long before they are felt in the factories, just as the barometer
, begins to fall while it is still bright and sunshiny weather. While
business men are spreading out with blind confidence in the in
flated state of trade, these keen eyed speculators, who spend
their entire time forcasting financial weather, see elements of
danger. They close out the stocks that they have accumulated.
Thus while the rest of the country is still financially joy riding,
they salt down their profits. This creates a declining stock mar
ket, months before business begins to slow up. Also they see
signs of prosperity some time before the factories are running
full. While business men are blue and sitting tight on their
dollars, the speculators see it is a good time to branch out. They
buy stocks freely and get ready for a period of expansion. The
rise in market prices for the last six months has indicated this
beljef that prosperity is at hand. This market rise is of course
due in part to a large supply of idle money. With rates for loans
around five per cent, sound stocks and bonds can not 'ong con
tinue to sell at prices so low that their interest and dividends
give a net return of six to seven per cent or more. The existence
ofiithis ample supply of loanable capital, is another sign of ap
proaching business revival. When men have capital, it is human
nature to use it in industrial enterprises and try to turn one
dollar into two. Men are not long satisfied to sit down on their
five per cent interest. They extend their undertakings with the
hope of making more. A sufficient supply of capita' always leads
tcC.'business expansion. So the recent stock market rise
registers the opinion of professional observers that the country
has. turned the corner of hard times, and it indicates the existence
of'pufficient capital to provide for trade expansion.
o
- CURES FOR SOCIAL ILLS.
In his address to the state press association at Pullman, Wn
President Holland of the state college undertook to isolate causes
of certain undesirable features of the American democracy, and
to. suggest remedies, remarks the Spokane Review. Summed up,
Dt', Holland's program for improvement includes criminal law
procedure, immigration restrictions and democracy in education.
In deploring the low value set on human life in the United
States, the stale college president approaches the familiar and as
yet unsolved problem of law enforcement with its handicaps of
lowal technicalities and delays-of court procedure. That a mur
derer is 'ess likely to be caught and punished here than in Ehglalid
of! Europe is a fact that has been impressed upon us for a long
tiRle'; and that this has a direct bearing on the high homicide rale
in the United States is a reasonable conclusion.
It is not so certain that the growth of the lawless element in
the United States is an outgrowth of unrestricted immigration
lii some of the large cities it undoubtedly is, but murder and
lynching are prevalent in rural communities as well. Sti'l, a
strong case can be made for the hand-picking of immigrants, and
fc an intelligent policy that will educate them after they arc
admitted, and not exploit them as cheap labor.
;;; Some day, perhaps, the country will have overcome some of
the bnd tendencies to which Dr. Holland refers. The courts can
not do it all; neither can the immigration authorities nor the
schools, but an awakened public conscience, if there is suclt a thing,
can make considerable headway.
The stale tux committee will not conduct any meetings in
this neck of tho woods, according to announcement made Unlay.
This is a mighty fine conclusion. If this body has not already
sufficient evidence at hand to clinch additional tax-raising schemes
on the ieoplo of this grand old state, there is no one in this sec
tion ready and willing to offer their services. Holding further
sessions throughout the state might add considerably to our al
ready unbearable burden of taxation. The governor should now
start out a little band of missionaries to teach the public how to
earn and save in order to meet additional taxation and put on foot
sonic plan to keep tho jolly old taxpayer out of the alms house
before 1922 taxes are levied and paid.
The Ford caravan is going to direct ils efforts while in Rose
rnivg 10 cleaning up me parKings in isorth Koseburg. Tins is
an' excellent idea. Wonder if the city couldn't make arrange'
nionts to have a like serv ice performed on the courthouse grounds,
well as other sections of the city? In fact, looks like we could
hold the demonstrating outfit here an indefinite twriod. mill
ing weeds and "chewing up" some of the dilapitated plots of
ground throughout the city.
o
The people of Tillamook want the next State Editorial Asso
ciation meet hold at their city. Evidence of this fact was the
passing around yesterday nt Corvallis small samples of Tillamook
cheese for editors to nibble. If the product was stronir enoinrh
it is quite possible the pencil pushers will be pulled over to the!
cheese-making metropolis of Oregon. '

Sources of Revenue
Subscription and Advertising Are the Only Sources)
of Revenue a Newspaper Ha and Often the Sub
cription Do Not Pay for the Coat of White Paper
Advertising today, especially In newspapers, Is the greatest
busiMM Vett"r there Is. This is acknowledged by men who
know. People read advertisements in newspapers. They have
been educated to do so. Every merchant in our town ought to
advertise. You remember the story about John VVanamakerr
The first day he was in business his receipts were $24.64. Ho
kept the 64 cents and spent the S24 the next day in adver
tising. We all can't duplicate this feat, but according to the .
best statistics available three per cent of the gross sales should
be put aside for advertiiing.
Possibly you will say, "I don't need to advertise. I ve been
In this town thirty years and everybody knows me.
Probably they do, but did you ever stop to think of the
sales you lose because your fellow competitor advertises? He
may advertise the same goods you have in your stock, but tho
people don't know you have them. The other fellow gets the
sale because he advertises. And, then, how much mora business
you would do if you did advertise?
We know of one merchant who advertised a lot of goods
at 19 cents a yard. They cost him 27 cents. He took a clean
loss, but while the sale was going on he could buy new goods
at 12 cents. He put them in with the other goods and the
result was that he cleaned his shelves of the old goods and he
broke even on the deal. Advertising and good buying liqui
dated his stock without a loss.
We can't all be John Wanamakers, but we all can adver
tise in proportion to our business. Results will be sure if you
advertise honestly and give service. A newspaper can bring
people to your store, but it cant make people buy your goods.
Your clerks must do that, and it depends on the service you
give as to how successful your business will be.
What is done in the big cities can be done right here in
this town if you will show the pep, give the service and adver
tise. Make buiineis good. You can do it through this newspaper.

TAKK OITSIIIK TOKEN'S
(International News Service).
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 21. Travel
ers jumping from one city to anoth
er often find streetcar tokens from
far-off towns in their pockets. The
general idea seems to be that such
coins are worthless except in the
towns where they are sold.
The trekker meditates on throw
ing tho checks away as useless im
pedimenta, or saving them on the
chance of returning to their homo
town. What to do, what to do?
The answer is, come to St. Louis.
The United Railways company here
accepts coins from all cities that use
tokens for fare.

culverts and cement building blocks.
Charles S. Seelis, a transient,
who gives his home addpess as
Salt Lake City, was arrested yester
day as a drug peddler. The charge
proved unfounded, however, nothing
of a drug nature being found on
him. Seelis, however, admitted to
the officers that he was a drug ad
dict. After an examination he, was
released.

A perfect reproduction of Vesu
vius in eruption is afforded by the
remarkable volcano and earth
quake scenes in "The Vermillion
Pencil." Sessue Hayakawa's pow
erful melodrama produced by R-C
Pictures and now showing at the
Liberty theatre. The flood of
flaming lava rushes down the side
of the mountains and settles over
entire villages, snuffing out the
lives ot thousands of helpless na
tives. The earth rocks at the same
time and sends huge structures tot
tering to the ground in fragments.
Tlfere are bther smashing thrills,
including the rescue of Bessie Love
from death in a raging whirlpool.
In the making of which scene Sessue
Hayakawa came within an inch of
losing his lire. Gorgeous costumes
snd Bets add a note of lavlshness to
this most unusual production, the
story of which is based upon the
memorable novel by Homer Lea.
