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.

that ''the equal suffrage amendment
received a majority in Lincol
county. A large per cent of the
voters ignored the several amend

indifference that defeated the

on the suffrage question, we believe
that the women would get it.

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

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.

Let's put it this way: Maripn
and Linn counties are going to lead
the state and the coast in the dairy

Washington, and old Yamhill, may
get into the class, if they "get a

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.

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.

Tacoma, Wash., under date of

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

on the same account.
"The cause for present conditions
is considerable of a mystery that is
not readily explained. Tho damage
to the gruin is not thought to have

There are mental advantagf 8 ar
ming from a Btate of prostration,
says the New York Journal. A sick
man is often prono to think. Not
only are his reflective faculties' sti
mulated when lying in bed away
from the ordinary business cares of
life, but they are somotimes turned
into different channels of thought.
Exhausted with mental speculation
an invalid will occasionally inter
est himself by noticing every dim
inutive thing about his room. Ev
ery little bird or insect that frisks
about tho windows or every cloud
that sails silently past becomes an
object of keen interest.
