OREGON CITY, DEC. 6, 1901.
Some Hiem to think an explanation is
necessary because the wriUr would -not
run for city councilman. We only con
sented to run when we supposed there
would be no opposing candidate. When
there was we refused.especially when we
don't want office.
The London Daily Mail publishes a
peace plan, which it eaya Mr. Kruger
la-willing to conclude. It is on the ba
sis of autonomy for the two Boer repub
lics, under a c invention guaranteed by
France aud Ku-hU, in exchange for gold
fiAl concessions to Great Britain.
Tna Farmers' Short Course will be
held at the Oregon agricultural college
station from January 14 to Februaiy
14, 1902. It will be an extended farmers'
institute for farmers and farmers' boys
four weeks of popular lectures and
practical demonstrations on farm top
ics. -
The Topolobampo co operative colony,
in which people living in this city were
interested soma yeira ago, is to be
revived. It is stated that since the
building of the Kansas City, Mexican
and Orient railroad to Topolobampo is
assured, English capitalists hve be
come interested in Colonel Owen's
scheme and that the old debts of the
colony are to be removed and an effort
made to obtain from the Mexican gov
ernment a renewal of the valuable con
cession which the colonists at one time
field for extensive :lands and port facili
ties at Topolobauipc.
Bomb, of the citizens of Cauby got
beautifully taken in by a sheet called the
Canby Items, run by a couple of fellows
win live in Portland, who spend their
money in 'Portland and do their busi
ncss in Poriland. What benefit Canby
dfrivcB from such a pnper is a conun
drum. If the promoters would install a
small plant like the Aurora paper it
would be different. The Aurora or Ore
gon City papers give about as much
news of that section and do business
where thoy get their support. And to
think of a 2x4 Bheet-vith a hundred sub
scribers getting better rates than an es
tablished paper with 20 times as many
legitimate subscribers. No wonder that
so i e advertising doesn't pay.
This misfortune that befell the ttivtr
sido Oil Co., while drilling for petroleum
one mile oast of Volcano Springs, Idaho,
is remarkable. At a depth of BOO feet
the bit penetrated a subterranean vol
cano which released a column of steam,
hot mu 1 and n.olten rock that shot into
the ni? i f oyer 10J feet. The drilling
out lit was wrecked. The location is now
a miniature volcano, hurling steam, mud
and molten stuff high into the air, the
roaring noise from which can bo heard
for iovor a mild distant. The hole is
constantly enlarging and fears nro en
tertained that the well may turn into a
volcano of largo proportions. Boulders
of large size have been hurled
hundreds of feet by the subterranean
forces. The locality is on the edge of
well-known Salton Bason.
In his annual address before the na
tional grange, Aaron Jones, the worthy
waster, said: "When the love of gain
dominates the minds of men to such a
degree that the benollts of labor and the
use mid value of property are appropri
ated by Iho lew, without rendering value
M,.!ve.i. whether done under the form
of laws or p.ny other method, it has a
i.il.,.'v to make men desperate, home
great disaster might destroy our pros-
poiitr, burn our cities, tear up our great
-..oiJm r,f trnnsDortation, sink our ships
on our inland seas ami ocean traffic.
ti,:i in,l..o,l would be a great disaster,
but leave our groat-hearted people, full
of energy and enterprise, with souls full
of the love of liberty, justieo and equity,
and ihey woul l repair the damages and
on the ruins of the old, a new nation
would wise with grander proportions.
Tut destroy tho love of justice, equity
and liberty of the people by the Inordi
nate love of gain, as practiced by the
.oulless trusts that are now being or
miz3d end our nation is blotted out
H oSt! ruins rill be established the
worst form of oligarchy with all its nt-
endunUvllB."
CURSE OB CHEAP LABOR.
Cheap woman and child labor pro
duces big profits to the capitalist em
ployer, but it is one of the most destruc
tive agencies in any country. We see in
many New England towns an almost to
tal absence of male population. In the
town of Nottingham, England, where
lace making and net work have been
turned over almost exclusively to women
and children, it is estimated that there
is an average of sixteen women to every
male. Child labor cuts down the pay of
woman's labor, woman labor drives
man out of the working market. The
cause of the deterioration of the males of
English factory towns is not far to seek.
Experience has tautrht that a countrv
with a dear , man and a cheap dollar is
better than a countrv with a dear dollar
and a cheap man. For one hundred
years Great Britain was always looking
for cheap labor and for cheaper food to
feed the cheap laborer with. The
United States was in a clumsy fash
ion trying to protect the dear laborer.
The fight, between the well-paid labor
of the United States and the cheap la
borer of England has been fought and
won. The cheap English man hat been
beaten. The high-priced American was
forced to use his brains as well as his
hands in order to .compete, and that has
given him the dominance of the world's
manufacturing. Anything that makes
labor high enhances the value of brains.
n Japan, where children work at the
ilk looms for three cents a day, and
adults for eitjhs cents. thore was no in
centive to the invention of machinery.
It was the hiuh nrice of labor in the har
vest field and the difficulty of obtaining
a number of men for a; short season that
forced the Invention of the combined
harvester. To make labor cheap is not
alone an injustice to the average man,
but it deurades 'the whole countrv.
Every child ought to go to school at
least until he or she is fourteen years
of age.
PERILS OF THE EMPIRE.
W. T. Stead, the noted London pub
licist, ;thus. summarizes the perils to
which the British empire is exposed :
Firstly, degeneration in (he physique
of the people, reared in great cities and
manufacturing .districts.
Becondly, the sluggish apathy with
which the nation regards the invasion of
its markets by Germany and the United
States.
Thirdly, the utter lack of governing
capacity.on the part of the rulers, for
the governing class has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
Fourthly, the breakdown of the mili
tary system inability to obtain recruits,
the failure of the war office, as at pres-
ent.constituted.to provide England with
an array adequate to pro.ect the empire
or defend the shores from invasion.
Max O'Rei.l reasons ingeniously thus :
"Let us imagine an artist or a novelist
who, instead of having an ordinary Bized
studio or study.he has an enormous one,
capable of comfortably accommodating a
thousand good artists or writers at
work J that all these men work undoi
his' supervision ; that he even gives a
finishing touch to every picture him
self; that he advises every writer him
self, supplying ideas of plots, denoue
ments, etc., and that he finally signs all
the pictures and all the novels. It is
possible that, at the end of a year, he
will make two or three million dollars.
Why doesn't he do it? Simply because
be would be called an impostor if he did.
Well, will you tell me why a man should
not be called an impostor who, be
ing perhaps unable to weave an inch of
silk properly himself, can employ ten
thousand people who can and whom he
piys two or three dollars a day for work
which is worth five or six dollars, and
which he sells at such a price? But he
is not called an impostor, he is called a
commercial genius."
It appears from the figures pre
sented by a Washington newspaper
correspondent that the cost of the Spanish-American
war and the suppression
of the "rebellion" in the Philippines
was approximately $t80,000;000. The
direct and indirect costs of wars are hard
to determine; but the above figures
fairly represent the direct monetary
outlay of the United States for the op
erations of the army and navy in the
Spanish-Aaieriean war. To this must
be added the $:'0,000,000 paid for the
Philippines, the pension claims growing
out of the war, the claims to be adjudi
cated by the Spanish Treaty Claims
Commission and the continuing cost of
the military occupation of the Philip
pines. As an offset to all this we possess
Porto Rico, the Philippines and the
right to occupy certain points in Cuba
for naval stations ; but the monetary
value of these possessions is indefinite.
Timim are many people that believe
in one real, live devil, but here is a
Pennsylvania family that believes in
93 devils, and they paid a neighbor
three half silver dollars for driving the
bunch out of the body of a black cat,
which was held responsible hr the pain
in tho stomach of the mother of the
family. "Devil masks" were painted
on tho walls to drive out the 99, the cat
was butchered, yet the poor woman
died.
Tub 20,000 pension attorneys are con
tinually on the watch for new pension
ers, in order that they may catch a fee.
If the government would deprive this
lawyer army of all power to do busi
ness, one of the principal sources of
fraud in the pension bureau would un
donbtedly be stopped. Many
of the pension ' lawyers are of
course, ' as upright as their breth
ren in other branches of the legal pro
fession, but it is an undenjable fact that
a large proportion of them look upon
the government treasury as their legi
timate prey.
Thb statement made by Baron Von
Edelsbeim.of the German general staff,
in a pamphlet he has published,
that 100,000 German soldiers could
successfully land and invade the
United Kingdom, there being but a to
tal of 60,000 infantry and three brigades
of cavalry available throughout its lim
its to offer resistance, is ( not received
pleasantly by the English, and it is not
probable that the baron desired it should
be. If England is hated anywhere more
than )t is in France, it is in Germany.
To the republican party, Eays the
Preston, Minn., National Republican,
are chargeable all the crimes trusts have
committed. They are the operating
force of the party. They own the courts
and a majority or congress. There is
not a farmer or any other toiler in Amer
ica whose interests and rights are not
jepordised by the trusts. Why; Bhould
any of them vote a. so-called republican
party ticket? A .more suicidal act could
not be committed .
