the. public cannot be determined, but
the sale will probably.be sufficient to
compenHate the publishers.
So long as chaos reigns In Oregon
why not let some of the newspaper
correspondents get In on the deal. Mr.
U'Ren should not be the only pam
hlet compiler; he should have compe
tition. Edward and Smith seem to
be that competitor, bo, let the game
go on.

Two ; newspaperj,' Correspondents,
namely. 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.
