Coroner Rainier SILENCE IS GOLDEN. The Mist notes with pleasure an increase in the advertising patronage of the Clatskanie Chief. For many years the sa lX)n men of Goble had been in the habit of having their liquor petitions published in the Mist. It amounted, for the two saloons, to $40 per year a sum not to be sneezed at by the editor of a country paper. Lut all this is changed, and the golden rivulet has been diverted to the coffers of our esteemed contemporary of the Gateway City, as a reward for its silence during the recent campaign. It is money well earned. Had the Chief stood for a dry town we have no doubt it wields sufficient influence to have secured the seven votes neces sary to have effected the change. But it stood for nothing, main taining th-i attitude of the non combatant in war times. A great principle was involved, and it said, in elect. "We care nothing. We have friends on both sides. Our columns are for sale. If the price is paid we will publish any article you want to print. We are here for the cash: and all is fish that conies to net." It is an attitude that commends itseli to a great many people, and it is not immoral, but decidedly un moral. We commend the action of the Goble saloon keeper. He is right in refusing to spend his money v.ith the Mist. This paper is the enemy of his business, and he would be foolith to continue to patronize it. One good turn deserves another always, and as the Clatsxanie Chief is the only paper in the county that does not ohon Association, or their assigne, to tig Into or In any way interfere with any public street, park, ground, or other public prtwrW, said W.
