SOME STRAIGHT TALK
Rev. As Slee:b, at the M. E. Church
In this city on Sunday evening last,
delivered a very strong sermon on what
he claims to be th. existing state of
affairs in thisc immunity. He denounced
in very strong terms the skating rink,
cliaracteriiing it as the sate to hell. The
Mist believes this was uncalled lor.
Holler skating is a healthful.legiliuiate
amusement, and Mr. Cade is nuking an
honest living for himself and family.
He closes his place promptly at 10
O'clock each evening, and that is
certainly a reasonable hour, and, far
as we cau leara, nothing is ever ?een
there wiise lhan cau be seen at any h e
pond in the wintertime.
With the denunciation of men who
tempt young girls we are in hearty
sympathy, and for their benefit we
publish, at Mr. Slceth'a request, the
following extract from the laws of the
State of Oregon chapter 91, section 7:
If any person over the a;? ot sixteen
years shall solicit, entice, procure or
attempt to procure any child under the
age of eighteen years to carnally know oi
have sexual intercourse witli any person
such person nlinfi be deemed guilty of
feloDy; and upon conviction thereof
hall be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for not less than one
aud not more than twvnty years.
But how about the girls and their
parents T A "child" of seventeen should
have some sense. She has probably been
told frequently of the danger of her
course and warned of its inevitable
result. There are heedless parents, who
seem to care nothing about who their
girls keep company with or where they
are at night; but there are also those
who do their full duly only to find that
their work has been in vain. Mr. SJeeth
says "the gates of hell ate plainly
marked, but it seems to be the fact thai
if they were all nailed up some of these
children of seventeen would climb over
the fence ia otder lo get to the fie.
It is a problem as oM as the woild,
and its only solution is the slow one of
education. There is a period in the live
of bAh boya a:id iirl-i then they are in
constant danger, an 1 it taxes the ut
most wisdom jf the parents to sve
thetn or reclaim them. Probably the best
suggestion that can be made is that
parents thoold get close to their children.
Their faults are very often the res-il t
of heredity, and, looking back over
your own lives, you can probably see
the time wheu a similar danger
threatened you. The love of pleasure is
universal, an within reasonable bounds
it must be permitted.
You can not makea good girl nr boy by
suppression of all natural instincts, but
you can do something to guide those
instincts along safe channels, and above
all things, never close the dor of your
heart to any child. After they have
tasted the dead sea fruits of illicit
pleasure those who are not natural
perverts after yearn for the life of dec
ency. Let the door be al ways open .
would be such an allar ound sweepstakes
relrainingeut as to raise all this stink
about nothing.
At leat, we im certain i.o one but
John F. Carroll, editor id the Tel. gram,
would be guilty of such despicablo con-
iluct.

The citizens of St. Helens, by an over
whelming majority, have decided to is
sue bonds in the sunt of flu.OOO, or so
much thereof as may lie necessary for
the purpose of providing alt adequate
water sinudv. and they have selected as
the first water commission, Messrs. Mo
Cormick, Masten, Cbai. Mucklo, Edwlu
UotsamlA T. Laws. These are all
business men and taxpayers, and it is
safe to say tliete will be no graft or
wastefulness permitted. The pople
have spoken, and they will hava yery
little patience with anyone who attempts
to embarrass the water board iu the dis
charge of its duties by attempting to
place legal obstacles iu the way of a
bond issue. The initiative law is btoad
and liberal and the tendency of the courts
ha been to set aside any irregularities
iu the manner of calling or holding an
election and to a?cwtiu if the. result
expresses the free will of the electors
If it does, bonds issued will be upheld
by the courts.
We trus'. th board will act promptly
and proceed as rapidly as is consistent
with securing the test results. It is not
bound to issue lone dollar's worth of
bonds, or to spend a cent more than is
necessary to demonstrate the possibility
of securing a good water supply, either
Irotu new Sjuiccs or by improving the
present system. It can adopt a gravity
system or a pumping system. It is- all
uu to the board to disharge to the best
of its ability the duties the people have
entrusted it with.

KOTICK OF SALE.
JOHN BACKUS AGAIN
'09
R.iiNikK, Okk. , Aug. 2
To Tug Editor or Tit Misr:
Mr. James F. Timouey has sold Ins
place including live stock and farming
utensils for fJdOO, and a previous sale of
the river front for $301)0 makes a total of
(14.500 for property assessed at fcJtiot)
iu 1908, excluding live stock and farm
ing tools, and at the same time adjoin
ing property, partly timber, that can ba
bought for 000 is assessed at (4525. The
alteutio-j of the Board of t'qualiia'.ion
was calied t ) the case and several oth ir
projerttes that were worth at least twice
the assessed valuation, but no correc
tion was made.
The motive for this heavy taxation of
timber lands comjated to other proper
tythree to one Is not far to seek.Tim
ber lands are largely owned by non-residents
who have no vote either for or
af.iiust these dishonest otlicial.
If a man is honest enough t retort
money aid notes thev are assessed at
full valne, and in my cise over 20 per
cent premium, though the premium is
knocked offin the so-called equalisation
with the apparent object of showh g con
cession, when in tact no concession is
made, putting up a man of at taw to
kn"ck him down ng.iiu; and to fiirtlirr
show the dishonest methods cf the tax
officials of Columbia County, I can point
to a property iu Kainicr asesed iu VXYI
at fW, and at the same time an un
il'vitl.1 onp-hhfli interest in the &ame
property was sold forIOU. This looks!
like an extravagant statement ; but on ; yoa wam . qukk wltho.Jt

There in euch a thing ai a general
denial of charges but an allegation, in
order to have any standing ia court,
niUBt be (pecilic. It is not sufficient to
say the officers of a county are corrupt.
The particular officers must be pointcl
out, and the offense with which they
are charged. The Evening Telegram, in
a very cowardly manner, ha charged
that "In all the State th?re is not a
queerer combination than that which
exiuts and has long existed between j
some of the county ofCcittts and this j
fellow Flag;?. If Kla- and some !
of his confederates had their just dc-jcrls
they would not now he livitig in St
Helens."
It must be admitted that when a paper
makes anch charges it should be able
to prove them, and that, if it does not
do so, its refponsible editor deserves a
term iu jail. People are prone to believe
ill of public oUkers, and with nnny the
accusation of wroiij-iloiii has the same
effect as positive proof. If the editor of
the Telegram has proof that any ofj
Columbia County's officials are corrupt I
it should name them and cxpoie their I
methods. It is manifestly unfair tn
to any and all doubters. It is freely ad
mitted that oilicijls may make honest
tniMake. but the caes noted can only
be accounted for on the theory of dis
honesty or ineon.peteticethat would dis
gi A't a ten-year old srhoo! boy.
There is "something roUen iu Den
mark" where such thing can occur
without exciting public intliziiiitiiin.
There are wore thing-) in this world
tl.an fake di-paUlies.
JOHN BACKUS.
Yes, there are worse things than fake
dispatches. Mr. John Backus hai a
grievance igainst the Asesor's office,
and yet fails to take Ms remedy If he
has been discriminated against why
die? he rot appeal to the courts for re
die's. Tlie Mist is unable to help
him . It bf given hiiu several columns j
of spacH. Now try tiie Review or the
Chief for a while, and if they don't see '
things as you eee them, of course they !
are standing in wilh the di-honest as- !
segment officials. As to timber owners f
ii'tvoii'if, we arc mtry lo say Mr.'
Backus ia mistaken. They control more
