THE WEST SIDE JOS, A. C. BRANT, Editor and Ptt'rlvtr. SUBSCttllTION RATKM. x IN A1(VAMK rwlv month. Tun iuoiiUm SATUKDAY, JUNK fit, I'm. Home Intlustrr. A nrc8ntativ of a Portland printing house was in this city last Saturday soliciting orders for var ious kinds of printing. He secured quito r number of orders for letter and bill heads and envelops from business men who saved probably fifty cents on a thousand. The money thus sent out of town will Way out while the local print ers will be expected to slave along and continue working and talking for our town. Some of our people who were so' licited for orders refused to consider the matter, on the ground that as the local printers were working for the good of our city and patronued the home merchants, it would be a rank injustice to the printers to take their living out of their tuouths aid sendto Jutland .or any omer place, even inougi. work could be done a trifle cheaper. If we want newspapers to do our talking we must help them in a financial way; words of praise sound well but they go only a short way to provide a means of living. Business men, if you desiie the co-operation of the newspapers, you must support them financially. You are not justified in sending off for printing that can be done at home. When the home printers combine and raise prices on you, then and then only should you hit them. Your owu interest demands that you practice the reciprocity you would prtach. If the Chiuese should refer to the little American fiVt as "a tub navy," Admiral Kempff will sho them their mistake by doing a lit t' laundry work for the Empress Dowager. lhe Lincoln County Leader eayi that ''the equal suffrage amendment received a majority in Lincol county. A large per cent of the voters ignored the several amend ment8 altogether." It is just this indifference that defeated the amendment If voters were in duced to vote one way or tho other on the suffrage question, we believe that the women would get it. ft ine xioou niver uiacicr say that "the Twickenham News, hav ing lost the fight for the county seat of Wheeler county, has moved to Mitchell. Roy C. Irvine, from Independence, has purchased the paper from E. M. Shutt." 4 Hood River had a fire scare few days ago. An explosion in a drug store in the heart of town threatened destruction to the busi ness center tor a snort time, and now the Glacier advocates "a sys' tem of water works that would give us protection and reduce insurance, But nothing will be done toward it till we have a conflagration that will cost more than the preventive Then, we will be ready to move in the matter of fire protection." Hood River should pattern after Independence. We have an excel lent service 01 water lor nre pur poses and its not very expensive either. tY tY Y It cost an Albany man 15 to "cuss" the mayor. That would be dear even to swear at the president hugene Guard. i'i.haw, that's nothing. Rocord er Henkle, of this city, on Satur day, fined a man for cussing an ordinary everyday citizen, so it seems that a mayor is no better " than any other man. And the re' corder is right, too. ft ft ft Let's put it this way: Maripn and Linn counties are going to lead the state and the coast in the dairy ing industry. Lane and Polk and Washington, and old Yamhill, may get into the class, if they "get a hustle on." Salem Statesman. Never you mind Polk county. She's all right. Some of her peo pie may be a little slow, but some time they'll grasp the opportunity thus putting us in a class by our selves in the lead. ft ft ft According to surgical reports two cases are on record of wounded sol diers, one in our Civil war and one in the present South African war, whose brains were partly removed in consequence of gunshot wounds, and in which the patients recover ed, except that they suffered some impairment of memory, and were rendered unable to drink intoxi cants, which they had used some what to excess before being wound ed. The Evening Telegran sees a moral in this and suggests to wo men with husbands, brothers and sons who drink too much, send them to war, in the hope that they may be shot in the head, so that a portion of their more than useless grains may be removed. Amorlra In China. The attitude of the United States In the Chinese crisis is attracting the attention of the world. One of the lom.on jpirs, for example, has an article entitled "President McKinley's Opportunity," in which it says that tills country can act with more moral effects in China than can any of the great nations of Europe, It remarks that Eng land's movements are regarded with so much suspicion by Russia that serious complications might arise if a force of British troops should ho landed near Pukin. The same is true of Russia, it says, "but the United States has traditions of friendship with Russia, and a com munity of interests with England. Its action, therefore, would not en counter tho hostility of either pow er." This is a chance, it remarks, for the Un ted States to preserve the opeu door which Secretary Hay has obtained, and adds, M Amort ca's opportunity has come. Wil she be equal to it, or will sho let it slip from her hands and lose her vat potentialities of trade in Nor them Chiua?" ill tKi U into, of course. Amer ica can take the initiative in China with more effect than any other nation. It is known to tho world that this country asks no territory in Asia, It wants no sphere of in tluenco in China, or any other purt of that continent. America's ao' tion in China would arouse nojeal ousy among any of tho nation which own or seek territory in that quarter. Moreover, the Unite States is on terms of friendship with all other countries. The "tra ditions of friendship" with Russia which the British journal men tions are as powerful today as they ever were. The country has tradi ttous of friendship with Germany France, Italy and all the rest of the countries interested in Chinese a! fairs also, for the cordiality which has existed between the United States and England for the past two or three years has pretty wel extirpated all remembrance of the earlier hostility between the two countries. So far as regards tho at titude of the rest of the great na tions toward the United States, this is an era of good feeling for this country all over the world. Yet the action of tho United States in China will be entirely in dependent of that of all tho other nations to the extent that there will be no formal compact between this and any other country. The purpose of the administration at Washington on this point has been made tolerably plain in tho past eight or ten days. At the end of the Hague conference of 18'J'J tho American delegates, in signing the agreement, made the declaration that "nothing contained in this convention shall bo so construed as to require the United States of Am erica to depart from its traditional policy of not entering upon, inter foring with or entangling itself in the political questions or internal administration of any foreign state." This disclaimer on tho part of the United States will apply to China as well as to Europe, for United States intervention, in the shape which it may tako, will bo for tho purpose of giving the pro tcction to its citizens which tho Chinese government virtually con fesses its inability to afford. The United States will enter into no en tangling alliances with any Euro pean nation or nations on the Chi neso or or any other question. It declined England's invitation for a joint action' in 1823 against the holy alliance, and in the Monroe warning to that coalition which was issued in that year, established policy of independent action which will be followed in the Chinese crisis. Globe Democrat. The total amount of money in circulation has increased by 182 er cent in the last thirty years, and the deposits in savings banks by 327 per cent. A sufficient explanation of the Republican victory in Oregon is bund in the fact that Gen. James B. Weaver was making speeches on the other side. As Weaver speaks so Oregon dojsn't go. ft ft More than forty years ago James Buchanan contended for the acqui sition of Cuba by the United States as a geographical necessity. Bu chanan's picture will not be carried in any Democratic parades this season. ft ft ft In looking at the results of the South African war it must be con ceded that the Boer envoys have reaped the greatest advantage. hey have secured a long vacation and a pleasant series of rides on io merry-go-round. ft ft ft Tacoma, Wash., under date of June 16, sends out word to the world that "the census has just been ompleted and according to the enumerators' estimate the popula tion is 51,C00." As the census ta kers are sworn to secresy, the state ment sounds rather fishy, WASHINGTON UlTMt. President MoKluley's lustruo tions to oVrr minister to China and to the American naval oflicera in Chinese waters as to tho policy to be pursued, during the revolution in China by the "Boxers" an anti foreign secret organisation, are short, plain and patrlotio "act in concert .with the naval forces of European powers for tho protection of American and European lives and projwrty, but form no entang ling alliancoH." In other s words, the president is willing to have our naval forces help protect Uvea and property, but is fully determined that the U. S. shall not lie dragged into any European schemes having tor their object interference with tho Internal affairs of tho Chineso gov ernment. That is a policy which every American should he willing to endorse and stand by, but, the democrats are already trying to dis tort it so that they can inaku tlcal capital out of it. Their des perate need for political capital makes them reckless of facts.

Without misrepresenting. condi tions any and without Intending to cause any unnecessary alarm, it is a fact, says tho Salem Statestnau, that tho condition of the grain crop in this section of the Willamette Valley is alarming and foretells probably a reduced yield. A prominent farmer residing near Salem, in discussing the situation of the Valley grain crop, says. "Fall-sown wheat Is In a deplor able condition. There Is no section in this part of the valley that Is not affected. All grain has grown very slowly, enabling the weeds to out grow tho cereal with tho result that tho grain has been deprived of tho nutrition of the soil and pre sents a very unhealthful amtear ancc, The stalks aro tall and slen der and have Ix-gun to turn yellow and wither. Tho hay or p will also fail to come up to the usual stand ard of excellent quality this year on the same account.
