Flayer has disposed of his interests in the Mist and with this week's issue George H. Flagg takes charge of the paper. We hope that the change will hardly be noticeable. The politics and general policy of the paper will remain the same and as ever the Mist will at all times stand for the best interests of St Helens and Columbia County. This is a particularly well favored section of Oregon and is bound to make wonderful advancement in the next few years and every effort will be made by the MlST to keep pace with the times. We ask the aid of the Mist's friends throughout the county in securing local news of their localities for publication. The Mist is in every sense a county paper and will be a paper for the whole of the county and of inter- j est to every resident and more) particularly to the taxpayers, Without the eood will and assis tance of our readers it will be hard to make the paper all that it should be, so we ask your hearty co-operation and aid. realization of the inipotoney of a tine as a pivventathe of the re petition of certain forms of crime. 7 A judge in Su.n Francis.) m;-.;- jenced Johnson, the pugilir.t to j twenty-five days in the u::r.ty jail for exceeding the s;eM law. and a Portland judge pre.-vrilvd the same medicine fur a speed maniac in that city. Moreover, these judges have announced that this is to be their jo!icy for tlu future. Johnson's case is r. t : bad as that of many others. The negro is simply an ignorant brute who is swelled up with a si -use of his own importance. Hut the rich men who vihitt the la v Ni so deliberately, and are wihi:;g to take the chance of being arrested pleading guilty and paying a fine. Fifty dollars to them is nothing while to the poor who break the law it is often a heavy punish ment. But the rich man is shock ed when an upright judge places him where he belongs and refuses to permit him to buy immun ity. In most instances fines are bribes paid to the State. It is one of the good signs of the times when jndges realize this fact and insist that wealth shail not be permitted to protect wilful and impudent violators of the law.

""1 FOPwGET IT. Were you a little warm over the city election? Forget it; or if you cannot do that, do not let it interfere with that spirit of unity which is so essential to commun ity success and prosperity. We will always differ on many points. Live men cannot be expected to see all things alike, for the reason that they have not the same view point. It is just possible that you may be wrong and the other fellow right, and it is very prob able that his motives were just as pure and unselfish as yours. But be that as it may, if you had a grouch against him, forget it. j There are some results all good j citizens desire. We want to seej St. Helens grow and its citizens! prosper. During the recent mu-1 nicipal campaign the editor was accused of standing in with a, certain corporation. He pleaded guilty and trusts that the Mist, will always be found "standing in" with every corporation in St. j fl o 0 o Under the heading "Does It Mean Nothing?" last Tuesday's Oregonian contains the following: "Is it worth while to warn the irrepressible and unextinguisha ble agitators for new and strange legislation through the initiative and for no legislation through! the referendum, that the temper 2- of the people is to resent their i activity, and to defeat every manner and species of bill about which they have doubt or for which there is no active or rec ognizable public demand? Can not these busy fellows take a hint? Are they utterly unable to read the signs of the times? Don't M they understand that the public 'II has had about enough of agitation experimentation and innovation? In the Oregon state elections of 1902, 1904, 190G and l'JOS a total of 32 measures was submitted to the people through the initiative j and referendum. For some of j those measures, like the direct j primary, the corrupt practices act j and the like, there was a wide-1 spread public demand, and thej public attitude was favorable, j Of the 32. therefore, 21 were 2 passed, and only eight rejected. ;g In the list of defeated measu res ' M female suffrage appears twice, j " S3 ft i ,f II III 111 7lJ wcrVP NO USE TALKING D When you want the best in Job Printing the proper place to go is THE MIST PRINT SHOP ST.

For years the Mist hammered away on the question of the assessment of timber lands and railroads, and finally a reform was effected. It has also insisted that the logging companies should be compelled to better safeguard the lives and limbs of their em ployes, and that the coroner should strictly in vestigate all acci dents. Yet it has no sympathy with the "get em, then cinch em" policy. The success of our cor- needed by the people of the state i were the first to be considered. !
