MORTON Editor SUUSCKirTIOX KATES One Tear $2.00 (If raid in Adanvo. $1.76) Six Months 1.00 Entered as second-class matter, January 10th, 1912, at the Postotfice at St. Helens, Oregon, under the act of March 3rd, 1879. COUNTY OFFICIAL TAPEK MtMBCft ST. HtLINS CHAMBER OP COHHIKI , THE FORI) VERDICT The principal seems fairly well es tablished in Michigan that the re putation of Henry Ford is worth six cents; the .price that is charged for an ice cream cone, plus the war tax. The fact that Mr. "Fqrd was given a veridct is evidence that the jury did not think the Chicago Tri- buno was Insatiable in calling Mr. Ford an anarchist. In the opinion of the Jury Mr. Ford Is not an anar chist not an anarchist by a six cent Margin. Both sides claim a vic tory and the Seattle Post-Intelll- gtneer says: "Are we permitted o justified in gauging Mr. Ford's ap proximation to anarchy by the ac ount of ihe verdict? As a matter of damages six cents to Mr. Ford has about the same tecunlary value as $t00,000. No doubt the jury took into consideration the r.vt thr.4 Mr. Fcrd did not need the money. If Mr. Ford's injuries, his wealth con sidered,, could be soothed with six cents, does that fact lessen the wrongs of the Tribune? In other wcrds, the Jury must' havo thought tl,a Mr. Ford was damaged to the extent of six cents, and it ia possi ble that the Jury, in arriving at their s'x cent verdict, must havo con cluded that Mr. Ford, while not an anarchist, he is close enough to one to excuso in a degree, the error of the Tribune in calling him one. The indisputable facts stand out, however, that Mr. Ford has been acquitted of being an anarchist. He ib as, however, testified that he wa. very ignorant about those matters h professes to know the most. If there is any choice between being an anarchist and a fool, who will question Mr. Ford's right to make it? THE FRIENDLY PATH (By WALTER I ROBINSON) It isn't wise to depend on others to frame our future. Those who do frequently find out tney aon t fit Into the job. The surest way to make a (poor preacher, phy sician, autnor or other professional iimu is iu pick oui a career lor a bey. The same rule applies in the busi ness world. Many a lad has mado a failure of his dad's old store who would have made a groat musician or scientist. It's foolishness to insist on a boy becoming a clergyman because he's good looking nnd is always "so neat." Many a good bricklayer is lost this w&y and the country needs brick layers badly. There !s a job suited to every man But Its often a Job to find it. Many persons find ,their pathways weari some and drop into the bamble of failure because they did not pick their own course. Billy Sunday says: "Men mus sign their own declaration of inde pendence." Just so. If we are to find our tai'ks pleasant we mueit c-hooso them according to our natural inclinations. If wo don't fit our Job wo should hunt a job to fit us. Ol'T WHERE THE WEST HEGINS Out whore the . handclasp's a Uttle stronger, Out where the smile dwells a lit tie lunger. That's where the West begins: Out whore the sun is a lit.: lo brighter. Where the snows that fall uro u trifle whiter. Where the bonds of home aro a wei bit tighter, That's whero the West begins. Out where tho skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a UWIe truer. That's where tho West -begins; Out where a freshor breezo is blow ing, Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing. Where there's more of reaping and loss of sowing, That's where the West begins. Out where the world is in the mak ing, " -Where fewer hearts in despair are aching, That's whero the West begins.; Where there Is more of singing and less of sighing Where there is nioro of giving and less of buy int. Ard a man makes friends without half trying, That's where the Wc:t begins. Arthur Chapman.. NOTK'ti 1 CREDITORS IN THE OM'NTT COURT Of n-.'b STAT I?

Vfj to date it stands: The league without reservation, 1,085 The league with reservation, 1. 253. Against .the league, 1,574. WastjiiiLfton has many thousand of Democratic office holders, which makes the outcome all the more sur prising. In the end the effectlvo argument for the Wilson league will bo that Mr. Wilson has got us Into such a i.ess that we cannot very well ge; out of it. It Is down to that basis pretty well now. . If the papers of the country were to take a pool on whether or not it would have been bettor for the Pres ident to have stayed at home and at tended to his business, the poll would stand something like this: Should have stayed nt home, 110,-i 000,000. ! Should have tried for tho world's presidency, 000,000,001. J l SPEAKIXO OF THE BRAVES 1' AMERICAN Speaking of the bravest American soldier in the world war, who knows who he is? He may never have had an opportunity to show his bravery. He may havo died without leaving record of It. Ho ,may never have been permitted to leave the shores of the United States. It ! enough to say of a soldier that he was brave Bravery Is not a matter for lnvldiovs comparison. On this subject there has been a good deal of foolinn talk.
