-7 THE WEST SIDE JOS. A. a BRANT, SUIU n Puttl-her. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. flH ADVANClj fwlv """'h I, i Thm ""'' - , , .tno FRIDAY, MAUCtt 29, l0l I Paris Gibson, of Montana, in any way related to our old friend, Paris Green. lhe Commoner ia to have a "Want Ad" column. Possibly Mr. Bryan himself may use it to adver- . tise for the presidency. ft ft Two thousand acre of land in the Polk county hills near Salem have been bonded for oil prospect ing. The homo seekers are coming at a lively rate. Thirteen hundred arrived at Spokane from the mid dle west, bound for joints in Wash ington and Oregon. ft ft The various and sundry plans adopted for the capture of Gen. Ite Wet, the great Boer chieftain, in variably locate him on the wrong side of the river. . . The opportunity does not come to many men to give away millions of dollars, and not many men would make as good use of it as Mr. Car negie is doing. . Although hazing in any form is not tolerated in upper naval circles it is apparant that Admiral Samp son is getting some heavy doses of tabasco sauce. It is a safe prediction that the United States and Great Britain will not quarrel about the Nicara gua canal and that it will be built by the United States. ft ft ft It is to be hoped that the buffalo head on the new HO notes will not have the defect of the eagle on a recent bill, which when turntd up side down, looked exactly like a donkey's head. . ft It is questionable whether the owner of a new gas well in West Virginia, who named it the W. J. Bryan because it was a spoutor, in tended to be complimentary or in Bulting. ft ft ft Sampson's friends want his por trit engraved on the Santiago medals, although it has not yet been determined whether these are to be of silver or brass. ft ft ft Why should army chaplains be so bitterly opposed to duty in the Philippines? Scarcely one yet as signed to that service has failed to protest bitterly against it. ft ft ft By the way, what has become o those people who argued so vehe mently against the annexation of Hawaii on the ground that it would prove a constant cause of ir ritation to the Uuited States, ft ft Respectable women afraid to ven ture out of doors, two citizens severly beaten, one soldier severly injured, 200 soldiers drunk, one saloon wrecked such are one day'i result of the "reform" effected by closing the Fort Sheridan canteen as reported by the Chicago Inter Ocean. ft ft We can't believe that Secretary Hay will a'gain so far misunder stand the spirit of the country as to negotiate a canal treaty which wil trade territory in Alaska for Brit ain's consent to the abrogation o the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. If he does, he will know what to expect 9 necruits lor tne new army are not coming in fast enough to fil the transports at San Francisco which are now ready to sail. This is due to the high standard required of the recruits, only one out of five applicants being accepted. The United States has, it is said, filed a claim for about $25,000,000 indeminity in China. Considering that there were less than 1,500 Americans in China when the troubles began, such a claim, if really made, seems both preposter ous and incredible. Let us try to put ourselves in Cuba's place and consider how we should feel if, after years of strug gle for our independence, we were to find that we had to surrender it in exchange for the protection of a powerful, wealthy, though some what selfish neighbor. Should we like it? . ft ft ft There is refined sarcasm and a world of truth in the following from The Dalles Chronicle, which in. our opinion might be extended to in clude a large part of the "common herd" as well as the papers: "It is delightful to find a number of papers that were either absolutely indifferent to Mitchell's election or openly in favor of Corbett, now proudly occupying the front seat of the band wagon and speaking the sweetest kind of things of tne suc cessful candidate. PatnmUe Home Industry The Junction City Times gives its readers a well-timed lecture on the habit of sending to extensive Kastern "mail-order" houses for every article they need In the house hold as soon as they get ten dollars ahead In cash to send away. The Time says that the iople who rail the most persistently against trusts and the evils thereof form the class most addicted to the mail-order business, while as a matter of fact those immense department house which are thus patronised are the worst kind of trust in existence. The practice of which the Times complains is prevalent all over the United States and is certainly inju rious to local interests. There Is too much disposition to rave a few dimes in the purchase of articles which can lie procured in Chicago and such cities tor cash, and to purchase on credit from the local merchant the thing of staple price upon which there is little margin. Ia this way, the ready cash goes out of the country, while local enterprises lag, and the very farm ers who watch the Chicago bargain counter most closely through the catalogues are the loudest detain er that "there is no market heroj" "there are no factories;" "there is no enterprise;" "there is no price for properly." Thece exclamations can be heard the loudest just after they have bought a money order to send to Chicago to pay for a sew ing machine, or an organ, or a stove, or a buggy, or a mower, or a suit of clothes, or a watch, a bicycle or a pair of shoes. ' This habit is not so prevalent among old residents of Oregon as among new comers from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc. Those peo ple know the price of every article in the big catalogues and are al ways talking about bow much they can save by purchasing the things they want in Chicago. We cannot imagine what lino of reasoning is followed by farmers, mechanics and laborers who practice that kind of financiering. How can a farmer expect a decent market lor his pro duce unless by bis patronage ho en courages the merchant and man ufacturer of his immediate neigh borhood? How can the mechanic expect profitable employment if the branches of industry in his com mumty are crippled for waut customers? And the laboring ma in the same way. it scums to us that the principles of self-interest and self-protection would dictate policy of home patronage in ordo that all enterprises might prosper. The Salem Statesman believes that the true commercial policy is to buy the things we need as near home as we can conveniently get them. When there is a factory near our homes we should buy and use its goods in preference to simi lar articles made anywhere else even though the cost might be a little greater. This is tho proper way to build up a local enterprise, to make communities progressive and to enhance the value of pro per'ty. ' Blejcle Path Fund. Bicyclo paths will this year be used only by wheelmen who are willing to pay a tax of $1 towards their maintenance. This is the latest construction placed upon the law enacted by the state legislature at its late session While the law was passed too late to permit of the path levy, the pro vision of the act restricting the privileges of bicycle paths to those who pay the tax is plain. There no question about this feature of the law, and cyclists know that their use of paths without tho pay ment of the $1 tax lays them liable to prosecution. The sheriff will receive bicyclo taxes even without the levy, lie is allowed nothing for collecting those taxes, nor are his deputies allowed anything for making arrests for violations. A penalty of $.r is in store for those violating the law. There is reason to believe, how ever that tho patriotic deposition of wheelmen will prompt them to pay the $1 tax for the purpose of enjoying good paths, even without tho levy of the tax. As enjoyable wheeling dopends upon good paths, in all likelihood tho large majority will pay the $1 tax without a mur mur, and but few will be small enough to evade the responsibility or take advantage of the condition that makes it impossible to make a evy. Albany Herald. A local paper is just as much a ocal business enterprise as any store in town, yet many people seem to think that it is a benevol ent institution, and it is run for the fun of it, says the Amesburg News. Now a local paper is the direct communication between storekeeper business men and the people. When live man has anything to say to he people he uses the columns of a lve paper. All business men rea- ize this, and those , who patronize he columns of their local paper reap sure and quick returns! f.- I WASIIIMiTOJ LETTER. Washington, D. C.,Mar. IS, 1001 Washington oflloials believe that tho friction between tho Knglish and Russians ia China is "greatly exaggerated in tho press dispatches and that it is nothing more than some petty dispute Itctwetm mili tary officials of minor rand, and not at all likely to become of luf floiont importance to bo taken notice of by tho two governments. It must not bo inferred by this, however, that this government has no apprehension of international trouble in China. It has appruheti sions, and very grave ones, is that tho Chinese muddle will, k'foro it is ended, lead to a scrap between some of the powers. Those prehensions are believed to have instigated tho 'order of Gen. Chaf fee to proceed with all tho V. 8. troop iu Pekin, except 150 men to be left as a legislation guard, at Manilla. If there is to be trouble among the powers this government doesn't wish to bo mixed therein. Some regard this policy as a mis take, believing that it would have been well to keep Gen. Chaffeo and the 1500 men he had under him in Pekin, until it was certain that American interests would le pro' perly taken care of in the final set' tlement. But they do not pretend to have as much knowledge on tho subject as tho government has. Workmen today began to tear up the old floor of the house, pre paratory to carrying out tho im proved plans for heating and venti lating. If the representatives do not got plenty of fresh and healthy air after the new plans are carried out, it will greatly disappoint the scientific exjK'rts who prepared them, and who ate in Washington to superintend carrying them out. The new floor is to bo air tight, order to keep out dust and filth, while underneath will lie chambers for fresh air?hich is to bo admit ted through aperturesin the floor at the rate of 100 cubic feet a minute, for each member of tin house. Mr. O. B. Stevens, State Com missioner of Agriculture, of Georgia who is in Washington, to testify before the U. S. Industrial Commis sion, on the condition of agriculture in his state, raid: '"Georgia is pros pering ironieuscly under the mourn programme of diversified corps. I doubt if the Empire state of the south was ever more prosjwrous agriculturally than at present. Col. Stanger of N. Y., who sue eeedod Assistant Secretary of war, Muiklejohn, several days ago, is quietly proceeding with his duties, just as though the war over his ap iKJtntment, which Senator Piatt and Depew were threatening, and which some of lhe yellow journals outlined and headlined uj a sort of duplicate of the war on Garfield, waged Senators Conkling and Piatt which resulted, it will be re membered, in the retirement of both senators had never been heard of. The belligerent senators were, it is understood, apeased with promiaes of several appoint ments about which they had been doubtful. Such is the game of politics as played in these early days of tho new century. Mont huatmiida are never more eco nomical than when buying things for their wives.

The enactment of the bill making a cut in the special taxes levied to meet the government's extra de mands during the Spunlsh-Amori catr war will give satisfaction to the country. The bill creating the taxes was signed by President McKlnley on June 13,1808, a little less than two months after the beglnlng of war. That act increased the taxes on fermented liquors, tobacco, ci gars, snuff and cigarettes, and es tablished a large number of kocIa1 imposts on patent medicines, legal documents, life insurance policies, tclcgraphicdlspatolios, bank checks, passage tickets from the United States to foreign countries, legacies, and many sorts of interests and activities. These now burdens were submitted to cheerfully so long as the war lasted, but the accumula tion of a surplus in the treasury recently led to a demand that some of these taxei bo abolished. A bill reducing many of the special taxes of 18l)tf and abolishing others lias just been passed by bath branches of congress. Secretary Gage in his annual report to Con gress in December, 1U00, mad au exhibit of the treasury situation which warranted him ia recom mending a cut of $30,000,000 in revenue. ? In the contest between the two houses a compromise was reached which will make a out, it is estU mated, of alwut $41,000,000 in the revenue in the next fiscal year. Many of the most irritating im(H)ils are swept away, and some of the others, as tho taxes on beer, to bacco, cigars and cigarettes are re duced. It must be borne in mind that the burdens of the government in the next fiscal year are likely to be greater than was suposed a few months ago. The appropriations which have been made are larger than tho Secretary of tho Treasury in his forecast last December as sumed they would bo. Consequent ly a larger reduction in Uio war taxes than that which has been mu lu might have been hazardous. Of course expenditures often fal short of appropriations. They wil probably fall short this time. Ye tho outgo of the government in the fiscal year which begins next July will undoubtedly be greater than anybody six months ago had right to expect. The country highly prosjicrous. The wealth the nation is expanding at a greater rato than has over been known be fore. The number of idle persons in vie country is smaller than it has ever been in tho ppt. Under such circumstances there is iwwerful temptation toward larg appropriations by Congress. year'sex perience under the amended war revenue law will show whether any more of tho special taxes o! 181IU can bo spared. If tho govern merit's income next year make any considerable increase over its outgo another cut will be made in the war taxes, and this time, it is reasonable to suppose, they will be abolished altogether. (Hobo Demo crat. - Don't fail to attend tho public meeting tomorrow evening at the council chamber and hear tne popular loan idea discussed. The bonds will surely go at 4 per cent, even if our own people don't want them. There is plenty of idle cap! tal elsewhere only waiting a favor able opportunity for safo invest ment.
