Our ambition is simply to pub lish a good, clean community news paper that will subserve the inter ests of the ML Scott district, faith fully furnishing the huppenings of this locality each week, and assist ing our utmost to better the condi tion of its residents. The publisher being a compara tive stranger in the city, county and state, has not the temerity to attempt to advise older residents what local candidates to vote for, who are no doubt familiar with Üie vices and virtues, sins of omission and commission of those desiring official preferment at this election. The writer invariably chooses those whom he believes the most compe tent and capable, regardless of po litical affiliations. creed, clique, clan or length and color of hirsute adorn menL Our preference' for the highest office in the gift of the people of this United States would be Sen ator Harding for “reasons too nu merous to mention.” Regardless of who is selected next Tuesday, any change from the present adminis tration will be for the better, we believe, although if Governor Cox should be elected he would be a very little better than a rubber stamp in the hands of the present incumbent —whose administration, most auto cratic, has failed miserably to han dle war or peace with efficiency. poi . iik A railroad claim agent’s house in Seattle was badly damaged last Monday by a bomb thrown, by an unknown person, probably the work of some one who failed to receive even a pleasant look for damages sustained by the criminal careless ness of the company in transporta tion of freight. While the Herald does not approve of such overt acts, a recent experience of the writer with a railway company in moving goods to this city would" make some people anarchisticallv inclined. The law admits of such delays perpetu ated by claim agents and little 2x4 deputies that if goods are damaged by breakage you might just about as well let ’em go and forget it. It is no wonder some people lose all control of their better selves under such circumstances. In some sections of California the Japanese -now have control by lease and otherwise of 75 per cent of the land under cultivation. In Oregon they are becoming more a menance every day. In Seattle Japanese are practically the owners of many blocks of business and resident buildings. It’s about time for residents of the Pacific Coast to reaize the situation. In Japan, a foreinger cannot get a look-in for lease or purchase of a foot of ground. Why should we tolerate lease and ownership of lands by the Japs in this country? As it occurs regularly four times a year, the Herald has five publica tions days this month—a long month for the publisher and prin ter. Every man in the world who has ever amounted to anything has at sometime in been the subject of persecution and derision. Dan Kellaher for Mayor, means 5c car fare. Vote 99 X.—Pd. Advt. MINOR NOTES. A counterfeit $100 federal note is in circulation. We haven’t been stung as yet, and have no fear of the future. In the good old days gone bye, a dry cellar was one of the main inducements featured by one desir ing to sell his house. A “wet” cel lar would sell twice as fast these days. Husbands come high in Seettle. A woman in that city recently was compelled by the court to pay $6000 for aleaniating the affection of an other woman’s huby. We'll wager there are husbands in Portland that could be bought for a whole lot less money than that. Look out for your dog; unless vou -have a license tagl attached. The dog catcher started on his rounds last Monday. Dan Kellaher for Mayor, means 5c car fare Vote 99 X.—Pd. Advt. WARNING Holderg of U. S. Liberty 4 per cent bonds of the second issue should convert before November 15 and holders of the first issue 4 per cent bonds should convert before December 15, into 4*4 per cent bonds of the respective issues, in order to obtain the higher interest rate during the next ensuing per iod; and failure to exchange also will result in loss of market value in case of subsequent sale.
