The woman's suffrage movement
is waxing strong in Oregon. It
seems to us Hint the question
whether or not women should vote
should he left entirely up to the
Indies to decide. If they want to
vote, they should have the privi
lege, but if the umjority of the wo
men do not desire to do so, the
ballot should not be forced upon
them. Which way the majority
leans is by no menus clear. It is
n question for the women to decide,
timl n way should be found to en
able them to settle this question.
(
Seme of the pnera have been
growing hysterical over the catidi
dncy of A. W. I,nffcrty, who is at
tempting to secure re-election to the
house of representatives. I.nfferty
is n bachelor, and becnti.se he is
said to have sought the acquaint
ance ol a young Washington girl,
whom he desired to meet, the pa
pers rove. We fail to see any
thinir so radically wronir with Mr.
Lnffcrty's conduct on this occasion.
Many young women have felt Hal
tered to receive attention from a
congressman, even in the uncon
ventional way Mr. I.nffcrty sought
to become acquainted. Jim tlie la
ther L'ot the letter, mid mew irate.
Nnthim- was in the letter ns null.
lishcd to give iuiKirdonable offence
to either the girl or the parent. I lie
act was not inexcusable. It seems
the fuel that lilt? pnlsixli- Iktiiiiic
public property causes the most
serious oiiensv. now many oiuet
congressmen, with wives of their
own, are guilty of much more dis
graceful nets? Hut they have been
kept hidden, or at lenst kept out of
print. The fact of the mutter is
that I, n fieri y bus tnmle good, mid
gotten its much for Oregon as any
other in his place could have m.
cured, liven his worst euemlc-
concede that he h.is tried to get
things for the people he represents,
and is still trvinir. His worst crime
seems to lie t'lmt he is poor, and
tiierutorem "wor picuiug ih
is deserving of another term of
ollice and should get it.

A GOOD BANK
Is something more than a money making insti
tution. The ideals by which conservative bankers judge
their success are not expressed in terms of profits and
dollars alone.
A well managed bank is a public trust; its highest
ideal is SAFETY, then SERVICE to customers, by
which their affairs may receive a helpful inpetus.
Such a bauk is this oue.
