COUNTY OmCUl PATER.
PECULIAR PRIDE.
Mr. Moorhead, the new editor of the St.
Helens Mist, boasts in his salutatory that he is
a Republican "standpatter." The Apaches of
Paris proudly claim their descent from a long
line of thieves. The standpat Republicans are
the ones responsible for Democratic success at
the last election. Their methods at the Na
t onal Convention disgusted millions of Repub
lican voters far in excess of the number who
voted for Theodore Roosevelt. Thousands of
such men as Borah, and Cummins and La toi
lette denounced the standpat methods of the
pang that dominated the convention, but
thought that reform might be brought about
within the party. A standpat Republican is as
harmful to the Republican party as is his pro
totype: a Bourbon Democrat of the old school
to the Democracy. The standpatter, whether
Republican. Democrat, or so-called Progres
sive, thinks more of party than he does of of
principle, and would vote the entire state,
countv and national ticket without regard to
nominees or platform. Quay, Piatt. Tweed,
Cannon, Sullivan, are the class of leaders Mr.
Moorhead and other standpatters regard as
their ideals in national affairs; but we believe
the great mass of Republican voters will insist
on the nomination of a different type and
then, of course, Mr. Moorhead will fall into
line and support the nominee just as that
eminent standpatter, Ralph Williams, support
ed Mr. Cake. Warrenton News.
The editor of the News has the facts badly
mixed up and places his own construction on
the "standpatter." He is entitled to his highly
sentimental views of the purity of the anti
patter. The Bull Moose, who esteemed individual
above principle, are alone responsible for the
overthrow of the Republican party. The hero
worshippers who attempted to secure seats in
the national Republican convention, irrespect
ive of worth or means, bolted. They were
filled with hatred and spite, and anything to
beat the Republican party was their war cry.
and for fear that the party might possibly tri
umph, many deserted their own tin god and
supported 'Wilson.
Thev had their progressive candidate and
their progressive party and that was all, and
swallowed any old thing in their frantic en
deavor to win.
William Lloyd Garrison was a standpatter:
Grant before Vicksburg was a standpatter:
likewise Sherman in his march to the sea, but
Benedict Arnold was not.
LaFoilette should be dumped into the pot
with peace-at-any-price Bryan, but for real
manhood and purity'of mind, we prefer the
latter.
The Republican party stands for principle.
It has a record for usefulness and prosperity
ur.equaled in the world. Yes. we "point with
pride"' to its achievements and are proud of the
"peculiar pride" that the News thought a
stigma.
If the "holier than thou" bolters can find
any comfort in these nickle-searching times,
; hey are welcome to it. Even Warrenton, the
home of the gifted author of the above excerpt,
feels the dire and calamitous effect of Demo
cratic times. Thousands are out of employ
ment, soup houses are well patronized, the
mills of the great manufacturing centers, save
those manufacturing munitions of war, are
idle. Few lumber mills of the great North
west are running on full time, the full dinner
pail a curiosity and the already overburdened
taxpayer is paying a war tax in the time of
peace. Even the cotton raisers of the solid
south are crying for relief.
Yes. the editor of the Mist is a standpatter.
He stands for a protective tariff and protection
to the American industries and American
homes: honesty and cleanliness in politics and
conscientious and temperate men in office.. A
candidate who cannot line up to these qualifi
cations, cannot secure his support.
AND YET SOME WONT SEE IT.
An Albanv merchant, says the Albany Her
ald, who did a $20,000 business last year, ap
propriated three per cent of that amount for
newspaper advertising this year, with the re
cult that for the first half of the year his busi
ness shows that he will do a $40,000 business
this year at a reduction of 8 1-3 per cent in
operating cost. He anticipated a gain in busi
ness and marked his goods five per cent lower
this year.
Let's analyze the results. Sav he cleared
10 per cent last year; he made $2000. This
vear he gave his customers five per cent off,
leaving him five per cent. He saved 8 1-3 per
cent on operating cost, which added to his
profit of five per cent gave him 13 1-3 per cent
profit this year. His business is $40,000 and
his profit is 13 1-3 per cent, which is $5333.33,
a gain of $3333.33. The customers were saved
five per cent of $40,000 or $2000 on the invest
ment. ,
Some of our merchants can t see how ad
vertising is a good investment. The people
will soon see who is saving them money. They
will see that it is the intelligent advertiser. '1 he
merchant can't make a profit like that by just
buving space in the newspaper. They have to
learn totise it. If you take space and fail to
use it, vou are wasting your money. You
must be legitimate and intelligent and then
you can make money for yourself and cus
tomers on money invested in advertising space.
The mail order house would go out of busi
ness if it failed to put its prices before the peo
ple. You will do this same thing or go out of
business. W hich had you rather do? The
small towns of the L'nited States are getting
smaller for this very reason. Some of our
business men can't change their ways as times
change and the larger concerns go after busi
ness in a scientific way.
WORDS OF GREETING.
Once again in the course of events a new
editor is at the helm of affairs in the ortice of
the "St.. Helens Mist." S. L. Moorhead. the
new editor and manager, was formerly edit. -r
and founder of the Junction City "Titi t."
being the editorial genius presiding over i s
destinies for twenty-three years. In taking hp
the duties of his office in St. Helens, he an
nounces himself as a "stayer" and his "f re
word" as published in the lat isse of the
"Mist" is breezv and optimistic. Mr M be
head is a stranger in this par: t the :a:- Nut

FROM AN OLD TIMER.
S. L. Moorhead. who founded the Junction
City Times twenty-three years ago. hold-.r.g on
to it up to about a year ago. and who durir.g
that period also held on to the same c-jt of
black chin whisker that he brought with him
from Kansas, has bought the old established
paper, the St. Helens Mist. Of course when he
sold out at Junction City he intended to stav
out of the newspaper game, but new tricks
were hard to get accustomed to. and he is busv
with the ink pot ami paste pot again. The
writer became acquainted with Mr. Moorhead
soon after he took up newspaper work in Ore
gon, and his handshake and hearty "hello!" ha
alwavs been an inspiration. He was the father
oi the Junction City "Punkin Show." which
has served to advertise the place more than
any other one feature. For several terms he
was chief clerk of the state senate, and conse
quently has mixed with the politicians suffi
ciently to give him a wide acquaintance over
the state. We wish hint success in his new
field of newspaper endeavor. N'ewberg

The various prosecuting attorneys are "up
a tree" in regard to the Sunday closing law.
The law is on the statutes and the prosecuting
attorneys were elected to enforce them, but it
is a law that will work a hardship on some
lines of business, but the law knows no dis
crimination, hence its enforcement will make
it exceedingly tropical for the law's represen
tative. However, at the recent conference at
Salem its enforcement was left to the several
communities. If its enforcement is desired,
complaint must be made in the usual form ami
manner.
Thev are having a miniature war along the
border between the L'nited States and Mexico.
Numerous Mexican raids have been made, but
when L'ncle Samuel's boys show up thev scat
ter like quails. The U. S. bovs do not like
guerilla warfare and are anxious that war
should be declared. They would like to put
a few holes in those greasers.
Hon. C. N. McArthur (Pat) announces
that he will be a candidate for re-election in
the First congressional district. Congress vi"
meet December 6. when he will be "shown a
seat." In the forthcoming campaign he wi!1
remain in Washington.
England is very diplomatic. Its is-nc tor
conscription will not be operative Tor six

knowledge of conscription to soak in.
An order abolishing the $5 advance re

OREGON TO THE FORE.
Oregon Ilulldlng, Panama-Pacific
ExpoHltlon. Oregon fresh fruit I
causing the thousands of visitor, and
Callfornlans In particular, to all up
and take notice. Southern Oregon
peaches, eight to the yard, are abso
lutely beyond the comprehension of
rallfornlans, and those who Imug
Ined that the Sehastopol country
raised the only magnificent Gravon
steln apples got a terrific Jar when
they looked upon the big display sent
In by the Coqullle Valley Fruit Orow-
ers' association at Myrtle Point. Coos
county. And when it comes to other
varieties of apples. Hood Klver Win
ter Uananas, a five box display by
Gus Miller. U as beautiful fruit a
any human ever looked at. Of splen
did site, perfect in contour, and col
ored beyond the Imagination of any
not seeing them, these apples have
caused experts In the Horticultural
building to pick them up and cxaui
,ne them closely to determine wheth
er they are the real thing. Miller Is
the Hood Klver man who won the
grand sweepstakes at the Pacific
Land Product show last year. Even
Eastern Oregon has been getting In
aa excellent showing of peaches, a
great quantity of beautifully colored
ipecimens coming from U O. Willis
at Brogaa. Malheur county. Hut 11
ta taken Southern Oregon Jack
tea cuaaty to clean up everything
. farc. There has been a steady
io cf pairs from that section, all
y( fruit, and it Is confidently
Mj-ected Usit tils fruit Is going to
tie coveted award for Southern
jrtfo-z. Tie only other pears In
itu t!iu have come from Hosier, a
,ixs'. shipment of vscellenl D'Anlous
tress tie East Hood Klver company
Scalers Orer.ou abo boasts of the
Int i:pai?nt of Newtown apples. A
It box display Is beautiful. As
sose may not know, the new New-
loves are green in color, a glorious
rra. while the ripened fruit I a
iotiaI golden yellow. The new
.'nil is bow on display beside the old.
aai it is d:Sca!t to convince visitors
list the two apple are the same.
Tie old fruit has been off the trees
a year now, and It Is absolutely re
sarkable that it suffers so little in
comparison with the new fruit. It is
Ftseraliy conceded here that Oregon
fruit can not be excelled for keeping '
laality. j
There now hangs In the Oregon
wction at the Palace of Horticulture
in elgateen-tnch orange ribbon with
1 large rosette at the top and gold
Jnid at the bottom, gold lettering, a
silver medal, and a score of names
.bove pretentious titles, proclaiming
:hat the Oregon horticultural exhibit
the "best, most complete, and most
utractive Installation" at the P. P.
1. E. Each of the nine exhibit pal
ice has one of these ribbons, and It
hangs at the best exhibit In that par
ticular palace. This U the highest
honor that can be awarded, and In
the ease of Oregon this award means
more tbm any other, for Oregon
landed this coveted ribbon with what
is. la comparison, an almost inslg
nilcaat exhibit In point of size. The
actual fact is that Oregon cent the
least here with which to make an
exhibit; and but for the Ingenuity In
making the very most of the least.
Oregon would have been lost In the
:ha!5e. As it Is. Oregonlans pass
along and very properly swell up and
path out their chests, but they ought
to go home prepared to Insist that
Oregoa should never again put it up
to a chief of horticulture to make a
winning exhibit with so little co-op-erajion
as was given to make this
one. Hood River and the Rogue Klv
er valleys have reaily done It all so
far as horticulture la concerned The
Willamette valiev has an lnslgnlfi
eat showing though It grows some
of the Saet fruit to be found on the
coast. The VmjHiua valley, especi
ally favored for fruit, sent nothing,
and the offerings from other sectioai
than the two named have been In
dgnlficant in quantity and usually in
general worth yet tfcey grow much
fine fruit. But "we should worry"
the ribbon hangs there and all Ore
eon get the benefit The award was
made some time ago. but the ribbon
wa Just now delivered.
