RAISING A DUST
en wonder how Ionic the people will he fooled
V some newspapers, which deliberate! v choose to take

ow souk; ol Uie.se (leinatcogu
'Isewheri; are attaekintc the I''i.:hlie Service Commission
iceausc of its decision that street railway ares in l'ort
ind should he raised from five cents to six cents. Kyery
'oiiiiuodil y has raised, labor has raised. Why not street
:tr fares? The facts showed that unless street car fares
.ere raised, the company would be forced into bankruptcy,
:ie servicd of the public, would have been curtailed and
eiieral inconvenience would have resulted. "Labor itself
:. represented by the employes, and official labor organ
ition had studied the ease and approved the increase,
lut the demagogic newspapers continue to harp and
rowl. They sell social discontent on their editorial pages
nd in their news columns, stir up strife between capital
Mil labor and raise hob generally and incidentally sell
lieir papers and advertising and make money. The street
ar company has raised its rate twenty per cent. If these
H'wspa"pers have not raised their advertising rates more
ban t wenty per cent and I heir subscription rates more
ban twenty per cent since the war times, they are not
bowing good business .judgment. What is good business
r t hem and their pal rons is good business for the public.
A starved horse will not pull the load.
A DL'KIIIT OUTLOOK
The article in 'I he Observer yesterday by William II.
'.'ankin of Chicago, one of the most prominent and palri
ilie advertising men in the country, merited careful read
ig and altentirn. 'Iie first thing that should sink into
he public mind is that America will follow lOngland's
Nperieiiee: llusiness will he active and prosperity will
oMtiluie to flow. I low can it I therwise, when in one

Mill all in. 'ibis cnun'rv, I -i I n and r-.jiilal both, reaping

'"'lelil. v'e hear people whining that we of the West
rive nothing t sell. Such talk is childish. Kvervl h imr
that we have nearly is for sale and at good prices, and
money is continually flowing in as the result. Willi the
prospects for a million bushel crop in Union county alone,,
with high prices for all farm products, with labor well
paid and with steady employment, business men and
others in Eastern Oregon should signal "full steam
ahead."
WANT 10.1) A DUMAS
Shades of Dumas! What a chance the great romancer
would have had in the present war! Than IJunias there
is no greater for the plausibility o this romances, for the
is no greater for the plausibility of his romances, for the
liveliness and grace ff his narrative. Even the translator
cannot lose his sprightlhiess of wit that sparkles in the
I'Veiieh. Dumas would have seized the modern engines of
war and woven them into his stories. D'Artagnan would
probably have flown to Dcrlin in an airplane, Porthos
would probably be cast as a driver of tanks, A thus might
have performed great exploits as a balloon pilot, while
Araniis might have been a. star in the secret service.
Dumas has left for us a picture of Cardinal Richelieu that
s better than history for vividness. Who is there who
.vill paint the picture, of the Kaiser to leave for future
generations?
