SALONIKI
The Rathcrinsr of the hosts for the final
Balkan st rustle about Saloniki is no novelty
to that ancient city of many memories, lor
Saloniki is the Thessalonica of New I cstamenl
times and the Tliermc, or "Hot ""'"p- Ji1
the fifth ccnturv before Christ. In -U- 1-. e.
it was captured bv the Athenians but Mace
donian rule was soon restored, to he broken
bv the Romans after the battle of 1 ydna m
loS P.. C. There Cicero spent his short exile
in 58. Toinpey's party made it headquarters
in 49. Thessalonica became a free city m o9.
as reward for services to Augustus in his strug
gle with Sextus Fompeius. The city flourish
ed and in the time of Jesus was the capital of
all the region between the Adriatic and the
lllack sea. Before the founding of Constan
tinople, Thessalonica was the virtual capital of
Macedonia. Greece and lllvricum.
It stood off Goths and Slavs, but was taken
by the Saracens in 904 A. D.. by the Normans
of Sicilv in 1185 and bv the Turks in 1380. It
was sold to the Venetians twenty-three years
later and then captured by the Turks in 1430.
For nearly 500 vears it remained in control of
the Turks, who "transformed its early Christian
churches, including that of St. George, reputed
to have been built by Constantme, into
mosques. The fanatical Mohammedans in
1876 stirred the world by slaying the German
and French consuls. The city was long the
seat of a Greek metropolitan and in the Balkan
war Greece captured the city and its retention
became the bone of contention with Bulgaria.
The city contains architecture of the vari
ous periods, Roman and Hellenic walls, Vene
tian castles and Moslem mosques. It has al
ways been a great mart. But not the least
interesting thing about it is the fact that St.
Paul, on his second missionary journey, accom
panied by Silas and Timothy, preached at
Thessalonica and established a church there,
composed largelv of Gentiles. It became
such a center of Christian activity that it was
nicknamed the '"Orthodox City." Paul wrote
one and perhaps two of his earliest epistles
from Corinth to this church. The two epistles
to the Thessalonians gave the citv a greater
and more enduring fame than that derived
from its commercial importance.
CAUSE OF VICE
The Illinois Senate Vice Investigation
committee made its report recently. It staled
that poverty is the principal cause, direct and
indirect, of immorality, is the lirst and most
strongly emphasized finding of the commis
sion. Industrial oppression of the helpless is de
clared to be directly responsible for a large
part of existing immorality. Thousands of
girls, it says, are driven into immorality, "be
cause of the sheer inability to keep body and
soul together on the low wages received by
them."
Unregulated conditions of domestic em
ployment, uncertain hours, absence of definite
social status and lack of creative opportuni
ties render the home, in many cases, for the
woman servants a breeding place of immoral
ity, continues the committee's finding.
The commission found that the highest
standard of morals exists among the girls in
the High Schools, colleges and universities of
the state.
PUBLIC SCHOOL GRIND
The complaint is frequently made against
the American public school, that it is too much
of a machine, that it offers no chance for the
bright child. He must dwaddle away his
time, relieved by sticking pins in his next
neighbor, while the rules of arithmetic and the
facts of history are explained over and over
again to slower witted children.
There are a host of people who learn only
by their eyes, by seeing a thing done. You
find it in every business office. There are
some to whom it is absolutely no use to give
extended verbal orders. You must do a thing,
and let them see you do it, and then they fol
low you by imitation if they can't by reason.
So with children. The teacher must do the
example over and over again before they can
grasp the principle, which in the form of a
written rule, is meaningless.
Meanwhile, what is the boy to do who takes
to books as an Indian to the chase?
Here is w here the good teacher can make
her value count. The bright child with a lit
tle help can always skip one or two grades in
the years before the High School. Don't be
afraid to let them try it. But it means the
teacher must stay after school a few moments
and untangle new and knotty problems.
There are few teachers who are unwilling
to do this. The child who pushes ahead with
out prodding is such a relief, in contrast with
the average listlessness of the school room,
that the teacher usually feels that here at least
her work has some reward.
Much is said in the newspapers about the
crowding of the public school. Probably it
does not pay to push a child if he does not want
to go. When you suggest to most of them
that they go ahead and save a year, the reply
is "we're getting our lessons and isn't that
enough?" But don't let a bov expect that he
is to go through school without some work.

AS TO THE RECALL
As announced last week, the Columbia
County Taxpayers' League, through its board
of directors, has initialed a recall against the
board of county commissioners, composed of
A. 1.. Clark, judge, ami A. K. Harvey and
ludson Weed, commissioners.
It is not the intention of this article to
flail the board of commissioners or uphold the
recall. So far as this paper is concerned, it
will stand absolutely neutral. This is not a de
sirable stand for a newspaper, but when it is
taken into consideration that the editor is
practically a new man and not familiar with
conditions which date back some two years,
his position is the only logical one. However,
our columns are open for discussion for or
against the recall and the only restriction
placed upon contributions is that they must
be free from personalities. This request will
be adhered to strictly.
The editor, however, is not a friend of the
recall law. It has been resorted to a number
of times in this stale without bringing the re
sults desired. It places a club in the hands of
a few to punish an officer no matter how hon
est he may be or how hard he may strive to
serve the whole people.
It is difficult to secure the best man to suc
ceed an officer recalled. The fear of recall will
not deter an honest man from doing his duty
as he understands it. A candidate for public
office before a general election, will take de
feat like a sport, but when he is recalled, it
stings. It also stings his friends and as a re
sult stingers are out in every direction ready
to jab the first candidate in sight. It arrays,
not party, but friend against friend, section
against section, until the county or di-triet is
shunned bv population ami business enter
prises. Who wants to locale in a community
where it is divided against itself?
The law affords ample punishment for an
o tVicer guilty of malfeasance in office.
SALE OF NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER
The district forester at Portland, Oregon,
has just approved the sale of JX.ooO.i K it) feel
of timber on the Olympic National forest to
the Carlsborg Mill !v 'limber Company of
Seattle, Washington.
The timber is situated on the Oosewallips
river in T. 2 X., i. 3 W., on the Olympic
National forest, and consists of 23,4' o,(i, n
feet of Douglas fir, N4i .( K H ) feet of cedar.
2,( K H ),( H H I feet of hemlock, and 330,1 mi) feet of
grand fir.
The prices paid are $1.10 per M feet for
the fir, 81.5(1 for the cedar, and 5" cents per M
for the hemlock and grand lir. The company
will have until March 1, 1910, in which to re
move the timber.
This is the second sale this fiscal year' on
the Olympic National forest, the first one
being to the Snow ("reek Logging Company of
Seattle, for 7S.( HiO.Oi H ) feet.
Bv an oversight we neglected to mention
that Judge F. A. Moore will be a candidate
for reelection, lie is the present chief justice
and has been a member of the supreme court
lor twenty-four years, lie needs no introduc
tion to the readers of the Mist for the reason
that he was a resident of this citv for many
vears. lie is also an old time friend of the
editor of the Mist and his name was always
found on our ticket and what's more, we will
find it again. Old Columbia will do the hand
some thing for the judge.
The Mist is in receipt of a letter from the
Iowa Republican State Central Committee,
announcing the candidacy of Albert I! Cum
mins of Iowa for the Republican nomination
for president. lie was for seven vears gover
nor of Iowa and as such he banished the se
ductive free pass and the boss-ridden caucus,
put the corrupting lobby to rout, and gave
to the citizenship of his own state political
equality under the primary system and allied
reforms.
Of course anything might happen in Kan
sas. Here is a plausible story a Missouri ex
change sends out about the Sunflower State:
"In a recent tornado at Great Bend, Kan., the
wind stripped the feathers off a rooster and
then blew straws into the rooster's skin, where
the feathers had been. The owner took him
to Kansas City and sold him to a museum for
a porcupine."
Many a business man will declare that he
doesn't go much on advertising and will then
pay a dozen times the price of a newspaper
ad. in costly art calendars which go into the
homes and are never seen by others than the
family customers' and which will never bring
him a cent's worth of new business.
Tt is now reported that Charles L. McN'ary
of Salem, will be a candidate for congress in
this district against Congressman llawley.
Mr. McNary is the gentleman defeated for
justice of the supreme court at the last general
election by one vote by Judge Benson.
Congressman Havvlev, true to promise,
has introduced a resolution in congress pro
viding for dredging the bar which has inter
fered with navigation in the Columbia oppo
site this place.
A voter eligible to sign an initiative peti
tion, must be registered. Applying this to the
recall, signers must be registered or they will
not be considered legal voters.
The elephant and bull moose will eat hav
out of the same slack while the historic mule
will lick salt water.
