Carl SmlttK'ab'd Harry Ed- warjj, have struck oh 'l' novel plan to Halt a few dollars; The; reported the tost, legislature for metropolitan pa pers and then decided that the people should have chance to buy a pam phlet telling of the legislature not as they reported wholly, but as they per sonally viewed It . A review of the little pamphlet In dlcates the boys have done fairly well and there Is little to Indicate they are boosting friends or punishing enemies although a little of such sentiment Is always bound to creep In when a cor respondent for a metropolitan news paper Is given his own wsy. He works under a curbed bit so much of the time; accumulates opinions which he Is, never allowed to express, and fin- ajly when he does get- a clear track ' be takes on a terrific raft of speed. In this case the brakes have been fairly well used, and there Is a spirit of fair ness prevalent Just what value the 'pamphlet Is to It is all wrong to anticipate paving great deal of the residence district of a city the size of La Grande If wide pavement is to be exacted. And. too,-wide pavement Is an unnecessary expense. After the main part of the Ity has been hardsurfaced. a roadway 24 feet wide is sufficient. By making the paved section 24 feet in width the expense of paving Is reduced and ther? Is not nearly the hardship encountered by property owners In paying far it that would occur If twice that width were Adopted. True, It will be cutting the .paving, company out of a great deal 'cit jardage, but that Is not the thing t consider, Mke the paved portion, narrow and then the area can be extended. Besides, the parking which can be had with this kind of a street Is very valuable and will add much to the city's appearance.. It Is well for ev ery cltlxen to think this over care fully. ; A PARASITE I Are the women of today speaking for the mass economic burdens? Are they parasites living upon the earning capacity and endeavor of men. Pro feasor Scott Nearlng. who holds the chair of economics In the university of Pennsylvania, asks these questions and answers tbera in the affirmative But what of the story that experl ence and observation tell In lnduntrlnl life throughout the American nation? asks the Oregonlan. What of the story that the census tells of hundreds of thouaands of women engaged In gain ful vocations? What of the story of every-day life that Is repeated day af Ut day and year after year In the homes of American farmers, mecban- ica and tradesmen? , Truly, here we .find no women who are parasites. On the contrary, we find women everywhere doing their full share in the industrial world making and mending clothing, cooking and performing the various 'duties that pertain to home-making; garden ing, poultry raising, fruit picking and packing in season, and doing such dairy work as they are physically ablo to do. Ring up the plumber, the doc tor, the department store, the grocers, and a glrl'a or a woman's voice an swers, taking your order; visit the schools and you vi'.l find nlne-tenthB of the teachers to be women; search the want column of the daily paper for help suited to your needs and you will find It under the classification work wanted, female," The loom uas been banished from the. kitchen, as has the sickle from th field, but It does not follow that the daughter of the woman who aforetime threw the shuttle all day long is a parasite" because of this. The sphere of her activities has merely shifted. Nor yet would be say that the son of the man who thrust his sickle into, the rlpend grain and gathered It in by th handful are' idlers. Prog ress has come to both nun and wo men along all Industrial ' lines, and. barring the "Idle rich" a mere frac tion, after all, in the great multitude of Americans the methods that are applied to their endeavor have chang ed, leaving them more busy, If possi ble, than before. American women "parasites"? Tru ly, If we except a small percentage of the whole, whose husbands are mon ey getters Jin the modern sense, who set and keep the pace in extravagance with their wives and daughters, they do not look It. On the contrary, the appearance that they present Is that of energy, capability and applied in dustry as developed by human Ingenu ity, thrift and growth. The man who would attempt to garner his grain by the handful, the sickle hts only Imple ment, would be Justly regarded as a simpleton by the farmer driving the great combined harvester through his grain; so also the woman who would continue to produce the wearing ap the hand loom, the spinning-wheel parel for her, household by means of and the dye-pot would be anything but an "economic necessity." Three more New York brokers have been grabbed for swindling the public on a worthless stock scheme. Will the public ever learn? No, look what a quantity of worthless junk in the way of stock and real estate schemes in foreign cities has been sold right here In our own little city. A good plan is to turn a deaf tar to every thing the stranger has to sell. Under stand, he is playing his own game and when you bite you have a thousand chances to lose where you have one to win. Jay Eowerman. the Condon states man, has removed his law offices to Portland and henceforth will mingle with the throng. Without mentioning the political fortunes or misfortunes of Jay, the fact remains that he is about as big an attorney as Portland possesses and there Is no reason why he should not prosper there. At any rate, here's to his good health and fu ture business. ,. . In the burning of the state capital at Albany doubtless many skeletons were consumed and there are probably many public men breathing easier since th; records were destroyed. Added to the trout angler'a happi ness Is the further announcement that the duck season Is how open. THIS DATE IX HISTORY.
