"Justice to all anankind. apodal prir ikfna to Bone," most flf.ingly exprvaaea atbai moat Oolambia count peopl hoi io regard to that eoautT collctinf all back taxea and the peoaltr for dehnqoeBC?. Tbera are bundrvda of reqaeata receiTCd hr the county official to remit the pen alty whereupon the delinquent propona to par the original tax, a propositi arhicfa U a trareotT tm hiatice and aa iadica lioa that a belief preraita that the crranty won Id willioglr accept any kind OT a aettletseat. Io tbia ara Btoat happy to aay thia eleaneDt of people are tneeu'er ariUi deaenred rebuke with no keea diaappointmeDt. The injmUca of each a propoaal Uea io the fact that moat, il not all tbe back taxea doe the coantr ia oenng by indiridDala arbo placed noney here arveral jreara ajro ia a epecniatiTe inveatanent, almoat alto getittr aonmudeaU. Cpoa the appear ance of bard timea a lea year ago tax paying vaa selected becattae nope of realizing oa the tRTeatisect bad been almost totally abandoned, bat thia prop erty araa lenlarl aad is alisoat every iostance correctly aaaeaaed; the aaaeaa aneBt roll forwarded to the atrretary of ctate aad tbe amount of tax doe from the county to the etata computed upon the ahowing made apoa the aaaeaaoient roll. Thia tax baa been paid annually by the cwnty or rather by tbe people ' who make a practice of paying Uxee, tbongb eoadirioM be piod or bd. Tbe proportioD oi taxea due iron these tract to the state baa been paid by others, and the prompt and persistent proposals for rebate eboold be and are met with fiat refusal. i'ortherroore. through these nonpay ments the county baa sti-nRgled ander a load of interest-bearing indebtedness, forcing op tbe rate of taxation on those who felt it a moral dotty to meet tbe demand made opoa tbem. Those of ns who bare met theae demandayear after year and borne theae bttrdena are tbe onea to claim favors if any are to be granted. It is all vary well for the pec ulators who ioet faith in the future aad allowed their holdings to become in volved, to anoear noon the scene last an a better condition of things prooiim for the latere, and ask to be released from what is a jatt and rigbteons claim against tbem, bat it is an nnjuat and bold demand. There are, perhaps, some in lances where it will be well for tbe eoonty to coin promise and effect a set tlement upon rational terma through inadvertence and error, bat these in stances are few. The county baa pro ceeded legally and regularly in its ef forts to force the payment of taxea, and we are certain that the came determined spirit that baa characterized tbia work in tbe past will make itself manifest in fntnre transactions. The sale of all these delinquent lands ja to take place next Monday, not be cansa tbe county desires to anjostly treat any individual, but becaasa it claim tbe right to what is lawfully and morally it own. The proper method for these delinqnenis to porsne ia to step manfully forward and pay not only the original 'tax, bat cheerfully reim burse the county for what it baa ex pended in tbe effort to enforce its rights and for its prompt and cheerful pay ment of state tax justly owing by the delinquent property. All EXPAS8IOET EXPOSITION. According to ex-Senator George W. Mc Bride, of Oregon, since tbe World' r air of 1903 "is to celebrate the Louis iana purchase, it can also be said to cel ebrate the principle of expansion, wbicb gives the entente still greater signifi cance." Mr. McBride, who ia one of of the national commissioners of tbe Louisiana fnrchaae Exposition, ha the correct idea on this point. Tbe World' Fair which will be held in St. Louis two year hence will have a significance which bo other great exposition ever held in the United State ha poasessed. With the acquisition of LouUiana began that policy of national expansion in tbe United Bute which has been kept up ever since. The Louisiana ex pansion made the Florida acquisition inevitable, and brought it within six teen year. It made Texas annexation certain by first peopling that region with Americans, and then by inciting them to rice in revolution against a cor rupt and reactionary government. All America's claims to the Oregon country would never have given us that locality bat for tbe Louisiana expansion which f are the United State tbe territory bet ween us and Oregon, and sent tbe set tle across the rocky mountain who establiahed the strongest ot all oar claim and rendered American expan-t kuow " jkiub certain, turn miiu-j ence which gave u Texas gave u also California and Ivew Mexico, through the war which Texas annexation brought, i ne juouieiana rurcnase exposition ot 1903 will, in a peculiarly direct degree, I ''celebrate the'p. iticiple of expansion." All tbe national expansion which the American people have nad) dates from the nnrchase of Louisiana bv Jefferson I nearly a century ago. Leaving out ' Alaska and it island, as well aa all the territorial accession which the country made in 1898, the United States is much more than three time as large ia area as it was when Jefferson first became president, Inst before the great empire west of toe Mississippi was gained. Every accession of territory which has coins since 1803 hs been a logical and inevitable result of that first and great est of all American annexation. This fact will give the Louisiana celebration of li03 a significance beyond that which ell the country's other expositions have had, and beyond that which all those of the future can command.

Several facts point strongly to a larger treasury inrpina thaa .JU,QO0,OU0 for next year. The army ia in coarse of re daction. Kegimer.ts have been coming noma steadily from tna miappinea. On! a nominal force ja repaired in Porto Kk-o, and before the end of an other year nearly ail AmerM-aa troops mar be withdrawn from Cab. It is twt'tnated that tbe eot of the arm for the fiscal year just ended was 1142300) 000, and of the navy 60,S00,(KW. making a total of C203.0UU.OUU, or fUUJUO.WU more than the argregate of the last fis cal year, isnt to inineae complication uore titan acnoants for the increae. Onr troops hav left China. Probably the war department will not expend more than ilSO.twO.OOO thia year, includ ing snrh public improvements aa it it authorized to continue. Here ia a prob able earing of t,tM),wu. ao material reduction Is likely in the cost of the fiavr department, nor do tbe people ask that the work of naval construction should be halted. To be prepared oa the sea is the wisest economy, and the reorganised regnlar army is similarly a prudent provision. A review of all the factor in the case indicate that there will be a treasury snrptas in thia fiscal year of from 130, 000,000 to (60,000.000. But if a certain period of depression anoold eat down revenue a much a 15 per cent, the re in! ting deficit won id be a small one aad the cash balance is large enough to meet each a call for a series nf years. It ia far more probable that the secretary of the treasury will be taxed to Bod osea for a surplus, and will go oa purchasing unmatured bonds, an operation that adds to the financial streneth and econ omies of the nation. A decreased gov ernment expenditure is iikety in the new possessions, saide from the redac tion of oar military forces there. In a word, the treasury outlook could not be better and never has been better. OREGO.VS XEKDS. Tbe Evening Telegram has been pub lishing eontrifcmtiona about "Oregon's needs." gome of the articles have been written by practical newspaper men, and have been trim and to the point. What Oregon really need, more than anything elae. ia a "null together" spirit. Oregon, for years, baa been the greatest knocker state in the Union of states. It has bean a case of Astoria "knocking Portland," Portland "knock ing Astoria" and the whole galaxy of towns "knocking" Salem, and so on, with the interchange of incivilities run ning between tbe little towns like Uiils- ooroand f orest Urove. Thia "knock' ing" spirit has become chronic. It has extended from town spirit to individual spirit. In Portland, a man with money to invest, baa always encountered the gauntlet of "knocker." If be desired to bay realty, be was told that be would go into tbe bankrupt courts nnlea be nnrchased anm particular niece of nron- erty. As a eonieqaence, he naturally vent to a state wnere the knocker knocketh not, and where his voice bad been atilled by an avalanche of nnity among business men. Washington bas been getting the Eastern immigration. Not, aa many would have you believe, by tbe encouragement given them by railroad companies, but -the fact that they are met by men anxious to do bos ineas with them, and if they could not individually do business, helped others to make a trade. Wben Oregon' peo ple arrive at their bosinea erase, they will get immigration and money. Hilia boro Argn. Let it be remembered that news paper ia not a beneficent institution, en dowed like a hospital or school by some philanthropist. It i pnrely a commer cial undertaking. It mart pay it way or cease to exi?t, just lite a drapery establishment. Tbe original function of the newspaper was to purvey new. It depend lor it revenue solely on it sale. Nowadays, advertisement form the backbone of a newspaper, and new ia published only that advertisement might be obtained. Leading article are undoubtedly of lee importance to tbe commercial success of a newspaper than advertisements, and indeed, thaa even tbe supply of new. Yet it i byiu leading article that the position and weight of every newspaper in public affair are determined. It will be found that whatever influence s newspaper exercises is doe to its supply of news, not to it circulation, not to it display of advertisement, but is tbe prestige it ha won by tbe sagacity, the force, the conviction with which it expresses it opinion in it leading column, and which bas given it an individuality and a personality all its own. It ha been bat few year since a great hue and err went np all over the county against nigh salaried officers, but of late tbe subject has been dis cussed so little that perhaps nine-tenths of the people of tbe county do not know what salary one county official i receiv ing. This i perhap o because every thing regarding county affair i moving long to smoothly that no one stops to register a kick, no matter bow much of of a kicker be may be. Then again, tbe low aalary proposition was weighed in the balance and found wanting. Cheap official mean cheap service, no more so in tbe county' affair than in any other commercial purauit. Good men com mand eood salary, and ffood service ia worth good pay, A cheap article 1 ex- irerueiy aear in tue long run, nence when the county i receiving from its corps of officer value received there i no complaint to register, andtheques- tion of high aalario is an undiscussed topic. A weli-posted Pnget sound log buyer prophesies that within the next five rear red cedar stum naze will be worth 4 per 1,000 feet, fie base his predic- tion on th fact that the consumption of timber in the manufacture of shingles is so enoimons, a compared with the amount available, that the growing scarcity will force the price to tbe figure named. There may be a great deal of truth in the statement. The govern ment estimate place the amount of standing cedar at 16,308,453,000 feet. The annual ahingle production i not far from 4,000,000,000 shingle; or at 10,000 piece to 1,000 feet of log, 400,000,000 board measure is a fair estimate of the amount used by the shingle msnnfac turer annually, and the cedar lumber production is estimated at 100,000,000 feet in round number per year.

If wt want a race of good American citi xeaa, they most get their strong im pressions and convictions at the public schools, where the vast majority of th juvenile population find tneir first stim ulus to variant ambition and need the directing force of calm and natural judg ment and righteous example and whole sale oggeetioa. Yacanox has come to many schools already, and teacher and pupil hav separated for the summer. The time will be spent by many teacher in other occupations, but the children, in many will waste their time in Ultra. There ought to be soma way of keeping the children employed during th sum mer in aosee systematic manner so that w hen they return to school in the fall, uieir scoooi wovk wm seem a piemsnre instead of drudgery. Vacation to child ren, a well aa teachers, should be a helpful change and not a wasteful one. Oregon Teacher Monthly. Tax official who intimated to the employe at tbe state institution that the practice of entertaining friend at the expense of the state for ioog periods of time under the guise of visitor, when these people ahould be e If -supporting, and many of them are engaged in prodtabla employment with private farties, ia a move in tbe right direction, be practice haa been constantly grow ing, but there is no reason why tbe peo ple should support anybody just because be happen to hava a friend who is em ployed at one of the stats utatitaUoca. Tan war department ia experiencing difficult in finding ail the teacher it want for service in tbe Philippine. Up to date, after nearly three month of hard work, only 156 men and women hava been engaged and 400 more are re- a aired by the middle of July. Tbe epartment ha iaaued order that the transport Tbomaa be fitted up to carry the teacher to Manila tbi month, if tbe Sherman cannot be made ready for the voyage, but there are reason for be lieving that neither ihip will be over burdened with teachers.
