There is an effort on the part of some Democratic newspaiiers and a few blatant orators to create lack of confidence in the public mind by saving the country is going to the bad; that great in dustries are shutting down; that the railways are retrenching, in stead of improving roadlied and equipment; that no new factories are being constructed; that thou sands of working people are idle and that Republican prosperity is a myth. These statements are, so palpably false or so greatly exag gerated that intelligent persons are not misled by them, but there is danger that when the canards are reiterated by the calamity howlers a few people who do not keep closely in touch with industrial and commercial conditions may be led to believe them. Any man or newspaper that de liberately attempts to create dis trust in the financial or comnier cial world is little less than crimi nal. Some 6tates have punitory law framed for the purpose of sending to prison persons who cir- j culate untruthful rumors about banks and trust companies. If the man who causes a run on a bank by spreading a false report is a criminal, is not the man or newspaper that attempts to make political capital by . destroying public confidence also a criminal? And, by the same reasoning, is not the party that permits or indorses the utterances of the calamity bowler and spreader of false rum ors an enemy of the law? Suppose the Democratic party won a victory at the polls through destroying confidence in com mercial and industrial circles, would not capital, which is always timid in the face of uncertainty, begin to hide? And when capital .is distrustful what happens? In dustries lag or close, trade of the retail merchant falls off, the jobber and wholesaler suffer, railwav traffic diminishes, damage suits might follow. Busi ness men who forget engagements, girls who wait vainly for lovers that fail to come, borrowers who neglect to repay small loans, politicians who promise and for got, and political parties which bid for votes and never meet their obligations all these might be liable for damages if the Denver plaintiff's suit is sustained. And what a mountain of cases might be piled up against Democracy if the statute of limitations did not prove to lie a bar. Misses Mary ami Anna Salomon left this week for Salem where they will begin their fall terms in the Willamette University the first of the month. Orville Dillon, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Dillon, met with a painful accident last Sunday afternoon while playing with powder. He, with soma ol the neighboring children, secured some of the explosive and set it off after placing it under a can. The explosion which followed was There are two important lessons to 1 gleaned from the success of the Open River Commission as regard the construction of the portage road. The first, and per haps the more important, is the fact that when the people make a movement in any given direction ir generally succeeds. For over a year the state board delayed this road, and we believe unnecessarily, until the people came to the con clusion to act. At the 0ien River convention in this city a commit tee was appointed, and this com mittee has gone to work and mat' ters have so progressed that the construction of the road will begin almost immediately. The second fact in connection with this sub ject is that the state U a unit re garding any public improvement, and this means a great deal in the future growth anil development of our resources. These two great lessons will be for future guidance. Acts of the legislature will not re main dead letters, while the peo ple can meet in conventions and manage affairs for the public bene fit. Then, the new era that has been inaugurated to impel the progress of the common wenlth means unified action. hen it comes to a matter of public utility there is m Eastern or Western Oregon but a united state that will bend all its energies and efforts in any direction to accomplish the purpose.

"Why, I stood right there, with only this thin dreBB on!" ances the creation of distrust is worthy of the people's confidence. It will be a sorry day for the coun try when the calamity howlers succeed in reversing those benefi cent policies which the Republican party has put into effect and which have resulted in an era of the greatest prosperity any nation has ever Known. That industries and business of all kinds continue to prosper there can be no doubt. The few strikes in the building and other trades are not indicative of depressed conditions. Wage earners do not strike in times of panic or waning prosperity. Strikes aie generally for higher wages, and no toiler expects an increase in wages when work is scarce and thousands of his fellows are idle.

A Denver man has sued a restaurant for damaging his stomach. He says the restaurant solicited patronage on the ground that it served good food, but that the promise was not fulfilled. The food, he asserts, caused stomach trouble, from which he suffered greatly, and he fixes his damages at several thousand dol lars. This case will be watched with interest, for it opens a new field in the damage suit line. It is usually easy to Becure compensa tory damages for losses caused by broken promises, when the plain tiff has a written contract to back up his demand, or if he has wit nesses to a verbal contract, but it is not always possible to Becure redress when the promise is of such a nature as is alleged to have been madnby the Denver restau rant.
