IRREVERENT HOP WO
The Associated Pre note tin fact
that Hop Wo, a Chinaman, hoi rilled hi
fellow parsetger on t se steamer Mon
golia, which arrived in port last Monday,
by "kicking the eye out of an idol."
Hop Wo I a genuine reformer and is
entitled to the support and sympathy of
all of hi countrymen w ho want to see
graft and superstition banished from the
Celestial Empire. Preacher and priests
may argue in favor of Christianity and
denounce the superstitions of the
heathen whv in their blindness bow
down to wood and stale; but Hop Wo's
methods were more direct and infinitely
more effective. Ho did not slop to
reason with the idolater in order to
convince them that their littln tin or
woolen god had no more real power
than a board of bank director, but he
gave them an up to date object lessou
by "kick n an eye out of the idol."
Hop Wo is the real thing in the line of
reform. There is work for him in this
country. There are idol and idols
doodles of them, thut need to have their
eyes k irked out. Only we call them hy
other names. Sometimes the idol is a
popular hero wbohas castxuch a glamor
over the people that they hold il to be
, treason to speak of him or any of hit
appurtenances except in reverent tones.
There must be no criticinu of the one
who is altogether lovely and if you love
him you must love his dog. Once upon
a time the idol was at'ouetitiuion, and
to attempt toalter it iu line or syllable
was fiyicg in the fare of the ancient and
honorable order of llossbicka. Then
again it was a Tariff, and ail the pros
perity of the people was supposed to de
pend upon it unchangeahiliiy. Hurrah
for Hop Wo; May hi tribe iocrense
until ail the idol have their eyes kicked
out and their abdominal wall-, kicked in.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS
The amended postal laws of the
United Stiles, whica went int j effect
January 1st 1908, require that no paper
shall be sent through the rmils, except
upon the payment of transient second
class postage unless it is paid up to
within a year of the date of mailing.
This makes it necessary for us to strike
from our list all delinquent subscriber
and, as rapidly as possible, put the sub
scription list on a cish basis, as, of
coarse, we cannot afford to pay postage
or violate the law to accomodate those
who are in arrears. All papers have
been given a reasonable time to adjust
their businem to this new basis so we
trust those of you who know yourselves
to be behind with your subscription will
make an effort to settle op, and, if
possible, pay one year in advance.
The Mist is now the olRciul paper of
the county, and it is also the biggest,
best and cheapest paper iu the county.
We intend that it shall be better wort!:
the money than at any time in its his
tory. Tlie court proceedings will be
published in full, the real estate tran
sactions giveu weekly, and all new of
intere'. from all parts of the county will
be found in the Mist. If you know you.
ar! Indebted to the Mist aid us by send
ing in the amount due and one year in
advance.
Subscribe Jor the county oflicial pajwr,
the one that prints all county news, the
Oregon Mist.
THE VEJtED QUESTION
The tn'.vuU Star tnfoims the Oi-
goiiiatt ih. t it Is not and never has been
a Kcpol.ilcuti paper U'caiiKM it doe not
fiiWr be I tie extreme dot trine of pro
t.c.iuu, as'id' it claims, llmt the protec
tive piimipln W tho foundation of thu
p;Tty. i'ltiti vti'lt is fiscal policy.
Thee i n moral turpitude ei her in
r-ji'fiiug or i.ecrpling it, lts ni; ex
pclleii' .that o.umielid Itself to a great
many wh.i note that people complain
less nh mi. direct limn indirect taxation
It has its advuiiluge and its dltadvau
mjes, tmd. a it i applied, mar lie
either a blessing or a curso. In the
I'nited Mate It may I e called a m Ci'-
any, because the revenue turti'ssiiry 10
eatvy on the Government are o great
,that they can scarcely help being pro
tective to a very lame extent . The idea
tleit tariff la something sacred Uoet not
appeal to ns gre.it a number of people as
in former days, an I there is a growing
vlciiinu 1 ttiit it be rt vised to the interest
of the consumer, and not in the ill
t:ttt of the truts. Tho Ifeiuncratic
party tried its ha. id at revudonplic?, but
tho result .vai measure that did not
coiuuicLd itself to the country. Il was
especially hard npou the products of Or
eirun and ruined many an oner of
sheep, whose value it brought down to
practically nothing. The trouble in
ihi country is that any measure
dealing with the tariff will be dis
cussed from a partisan and sectional
standpoint and tlie result will probably
be achieved aioug these line, withciit
much regard for the b. st Interests of
the suffering public, who will continue
to iay exorbitant price for the neces
saries of life.
