The present adminisrration de serves the title ot the Twentieth century school for scandals. The canals in New York state are now supplied with an electric tow ing system. Lo the poor mule. Senator Hanna can now go back to Washington and take up his ex slave pension bill and ship subsidy. The republicans will soon explain the decline in business as the result of the fear, of a Democratic victory next fall. Republicans feel that they are sure of the labor vote because the President dined John Mitchel at the White House. Senator Hanna holds the record for collecting campaign contri butions so the republicans will need him to direct the next campaign. The President succeeded in keep ing back the Bristow report on the postal frauds until after the elections but the voters will remember it next fall. ' . If It took Mr. Bristow 1,000,000 words to tell of the postal scandals, it will take a whole library to des cribe the land frauds iu the Interior Department. At the national capital there Is a free school for teaching the Irish language to anyone who desires such instruction. The classes are well attended. Charles M. Schwab, who talks about the exhorbitant demands of labor as cause of the present set back in business, made eignt to ten millions out of the shipping deal. Crown Prince Frederick William has earned the title of "rough rider" by riding up the steep steps of six terraces leading to the castle of San Souci. The Princa was follow ed by an entire troop of the First Kegiment of the Guards. The Ship Building Trusts may have been an example or "high finance" but most people would call it a great swindle. It might not be a bad plan for Schwab to take a trip to Europe and wait for the salvation of the statute of limita tions. The Treasury statement which shows conditions at the close of the first four months of the fiscal year, exhibits a striking contrast to the statement of last year. There was hen a surplus of $ 18,000,000 and the surplus is almost eliminated. What will Secretary Shaw do next to help the banks? The city of Portland is justly a little proud of herself this week. She has notexactly gotthe swelled head but is blowing her own horn and feeling "mighty" good. Last week the largest cargo of flour ever learedfrom any port In the world. 84,000 barrels was cleared from the Port of Portland. Portland Is just ly entitled to ?e called the metropo lis of the Northwest and one of these days will be a city of a half million of people. There lis much In the aftermath of the late election to cause every Democrat In the land to rejoice. If President Roosevelt is the nomi nee of the Republican party and there is but little doubt that he will be New York state is almost suretc be found in the Democratic column. With New York in the Democratic column a Democratic president will be elected. With New York, Ken tucky and Maryland safe.the Dem ocrats with a pood ticket and a clean ticket will win the National election. Poor old Clackamas county owes $40,000 more than she thought she did.' All any one had to do was to check up the county warrants that were unpaid and add to them accrued interest thereon, to discover this remarkable state of affairs. Be it known also that for many years the county court and the Board of Commissioners of Clackamas county have been Re publicans ','m politics. While the Democrats and the Populists at various times have held the mi nor places the Republicans have al ways had the appropriating and spending of the money collected by taxes from the people, and have controlled the payment of the county's obligations. It must be a system of very bad book keeping that will keep a. county or an indi vidual from knowing within forty thousand dollars of what if owes, PRINCIPLES 'BEFORE MEN. It was, in the halcvoh days of Democratic prosperity.a favorite maxim of the party that it stood for "principles, not men!" Clearly, the era of its exclusion from na tional control is a more excellent time for it to adhere to that pro verb. The Washington Evening Star admits, with its wonted fairness that The Constitution has taken a right position in this respect and is probably the foremost of Democrat ic papers in calling for a. reunion of every Democratic voter in the land upon a platform that will talk busi ness and have a forward prow to ward definite results in good gov ernment. The day for ferry-boat platforms that can move forward or backward without an visible turn ing about is due to become yester day in the Democratic calendar. What the rank and file of the Democracy, and what the whole country not enslaved to the Repub lican party, are waiting for is a Democratic leadership capable of formulating consistent American and Democratic doctrines into a platform that the honest masses can trust. Make that platform first. Make it fair and plain. Make it so no man can afterwards misin terpret it or claim he did not accept it When we can say to any man asking the nomination for the presi dency that if he does not honestly subscribe to it and will not honestly adhere to 'it when elected he must get off the track. There should be no playing of favorite sons, no hot-foot search for "one who can win" on other grounds than the platform and his trustworthy character. . The Dem ocracy ought to rule the govern ment and it may do so if it will once more come back to its former practice of standing for "princi ples, not men!" THE UN0ERPAI0 PREACHERS. In a religious journal we read the statement that "the ministry is the only one of the learned professions that is not overcrowded." We have no reason to doubt the declaration and no surprise that is true. To enter the ministry has for time untold been to commit eco nomic suicide. The antique notion that a just God calls men to the ministry because they have been occultly created by him with stom achs and other organs specially adapted to scant rations and poor provisioning in creature comforts Is emphatically played out. A man is a fool and an infidel to subscribe to any such doctrine, especially when it involves the sustenance of his wife, the proper feeding, educa tion and preparation for life of his children. There is no more reason in com mon sense and a merciful religion why an educated preacher of the gospel should receive less pay than a railway trackhand and the av erage pay of a modern American preacher is less than that than thete is that an educated lawyer should work for fun or or an edu cated banker lend money on bare faced promises to pay. The notion that a preacher must be "abovethe sordidthings" of suf ficient bread and meat, and that his family should be compelled to suffer hardships, humiliations and ignorance because the head of the house cannot seem to "preach for money" is an archaic andfadatical fad that ill becomes the temper and liberality of the present age. Let it be understood that minis ters of the gospel will be ministered to in decent degree and there will be no lack of strong, educated men who will enter its ranks and still not ask or expect more' than the hire of which the laborer is worthy. New ice ComiHtny. U. E. Harris ami others have incor porated a new Ice and cold storage com pany in Oregon City to be known as the Oregon City Ice and Cold Storage Co. The business of the Company will be the manufacturing of ice and the transaction of a general cold storage business and the buying and selling of produce. The capital stock is $6,000. Gladstone EXTRAORDINARY ANNOUNCEMENT 100 Beautiful and Choice Lots for $100 a Lot $10 Down and $10 Per Month. Without Interest Only a Small Monthly Payment Secures an Ideal Homesite in the Handsomest Spot in . Oregon It is not intended that the ioo lots shall be selected in out of the way places, or shall fee of inferior or even second quality, but in each instance the purchaser makes his or her own selection, with only two reservations; the first four lois from the motor line are reserved, and a party only buy ing one lot cannot select the corner lot. Parties living at a distance can send their payments to me or to the Bank of Oregon City, and it will be held until final payments are make, when a warranty deed will be promptly executed and an abstract of title furnished, when required, showing a fee simple title in the purchaser free of all incumbrances. Absolute good faith will be kept with all parties and the utmost effort will be made to please and satisfy everyone . To prove our faith in the future of Gladstone, we make this proposition to all pur chasers: The Association, when final payments are made, will upon receiving 30 days prior notice thereof, in case of dissatisfaetion, pay back the entire purchase money, with $25.00 additional. This will only apply to sales made before June 1st, 1904. I We feel that this is an entirely safe proposition, for in our candid judgment no lot will be sold that is not worth double the money at the present moment. . Gladstone is on the O. W. P. Ry. Company's motor line, a short mile north of Oregon City. Five cent fare to Oregon City and 15 cent fare to Portland. Elegant motor cars pass through the property every thirty minutes, The Southern Pacific cars also pass through Gladstone. When the 100. lots are sold and paid for the Gladstone Real Estate Association will give a check for One-Thousand Dollars to the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association, provided the last of the hundred lots are sold by the end of the next annual assembly in 1904, to be used for permanent improvements on its grounds at Gladstone Park. 1 OREGON CITY. BOLD BANDIT Commits Highway Robbery on the Road Near Oswego. .Louis Callahan, of Dickey's Prairie, brought the report to town last Wednes day about 10 'clock that he had juBt bsen held up and robbed of $75 by an un masked highwayman near the town of Oswego. The police of this city were notified as well as the sheriff, and lett for the scene oNhe alleged crime almost im mediately. They could find no evidence of a hold-up nor no clue to the high wy man. When they returned they were rather skeptical about the matter and were rather inclined to the belief that Callahan was laboring under a balucina tion. Callahan is a farmer and on Tuesday he started for Portland with a load of butchered hogs. He passed through Oregon City and a friend with whom he talked here admonished him to be care ful, and to keep away from the gamb ling houses and concert halls of Port land, or else he was likely to lose bio money. Calb'han declared that he was coming buck just bb soon as he could net the hops oft' his hands and the money in his pocket. The friends with whom Cal lahan talked declared that Callahan was in the habit of oceaMonally looking "up on tl e wine when it was red," ami when in a condition not strictly sober he whs likely to gamble. This was why he gave him the warning. , allahan's slory con cerning jobbery is an interesting one lie said that he had sold his hogs and put the money in his pocket and started back home. He had reached a p int about a mile .from Oswego when a man stepped from the brush and hailed him. He drew rein and tb e man came up remarking that it had been a long time since he had teen him. The high-' ay. man' as it proved to be. then seized Callahan'B wrist and drew a ,longknife, which' he flourished in his face, demand ing that he dig up. Callahan declared to the robber that he bad no money, but thd robbr told him that he knew bet ter and Jerked him from the wagon, slashing at him with his open knife, cut ting through hit coat. After a little further parley Callahan gave him $75, II the money he had, and the bandit disappeared in the brush from whence he had come. People who incline to the belief that Callahan told an untruth about the mat ter, base their opinions on the fact that if Callahan bad gambled his money away in Portland ha would rather have met a dozen highwaymen than to have gone borne and told Mrs. Callahan that he had lost his money gambling, and for this reason they think he may have con cocted the Btory about the hold up.

The Eaaentinl Thing; Out of Which Blood la Hade. These are the things out of which blood Is made. If the food is nutri tious and properly cooked, if the air is pure and full of oxygen, if the water is clean and free from impurities, the blood will be rich and red and full of vitality. Barring physical accidents, there is no sickness except that depending di rectly upon a wunt of food or water or nir, sometimes nil three. When any one is sick the presumption Is that he has been trying to subsist on poor food or vitiated air or bad wuter, one or more. In order to have good food a person ought to have the first eating of it. Food that has been mussed over and left by one person is not fit to be eaten by another. In order to have good air a person ought to have the first breathing of it. Air that has been breathed by other persons is not fit to breathe again. Water should be fresh from some spring or well. If hydrant water must be used let it run a bit, as the house pipes are apt to bo of lead and not iron like the pipes that convey the wa ter through the city. Food that Is relished, air that cools and Invigorates, water that Is quaffed with eager thirst these are the things that make blood. Put fresh air into the lungs, good food and pure water Into the stomach, and nature will do the rest Medical Talk.

"Don't you think you are taking the wrong stand when you say you do not wish your son to marry, Mrs. Wll loughbyT" asked an Intimate friend. "Don't you know it is natural and best for a young man to marry and that he will not think any the less of bis moth er because he has a wife?" "Oh. it Isn't that" protested Mrs. Willoughby. "I don't mind his marry ing on general principles, but I don't want to be called the old Mrs. Wil loughby.' "New York Press.

Now the unwritten rule is that they get "half their hand," or 50 per cent as salvage. In portable and valuable articles, such as silverware, there is still a strong temptation to keep the whole, but the punishment Is severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin stores and the like have also a trick of disappearing, und in the poorest fisher's cottage you will come upon rare china, dainty unpery, silverware of price and wines to tempt an epl cure. The salvors are reckless and un thinking, and as they gather in hun dreds every man pre-empts what he can. Iu the rush there is much de stroyed. When the Herder was lost In 1SS2 they burned whalebone worth $15,000 a ton to save leather costing 20 cents a pound. In the Emmellne wreck of 1000 they trampled crates of costly glassware to get at four cases of French prayer books valued at 25 cents apiece. Ou one occasion two salvors had got ashore a piano and were adopting the Sokmion-Jlke expe dient of sawing it in half when a shrewder chum bought it from them for a bottle of whisky looted from the captain's cabin. When the Grasbrook went ashore In 1S0O every man on the shore provided himself with a German concertina, of which instruments of torture she had a large consignment and to secure them packages of much more costly freight were thrown over board. When the Orion, from Balti more for Copenhagen, struck the back of Cape Race and went to pieces she had a large consignment of bicycles on board, and they were auctioned In St John's and disposed of all over the Island The Abbeymore's lading in 1898 Included some cases of splendid English rifles for Canada, and these are now to be seen adorning every fisher's cottage along the shore.
