PROFESSIONAL POLITICS.
BACK TO THE FARMS.
There is nothing strange in Secre
tary Wilson's discovery that the trend
of population is at this time from the
city to 'the country. In fact he is
merely stating or rather applying the
principle recoginzed by all students
of National development ; namely
that a country's population, like the
ebb and flow of the tide, presses its
stream of humanity upon its con
gested cities until, at regular reccur
ring intervals, ' on its wave as it
sweeps outward into distant and re
mote places it recedes, scattering a
people nurtered and reared in the city.
The cities of oar country do not
afford an environment sach as will
bring forth men of great individuality
and strength and steadfastness of
purpose. In a majority of cases the
man who achieves success can point
to their country birth or the country
boyhood of their fathers. Country
life seems to renew the degenerating
functions of a race. As in the hu
man system the impure blocd seeks
the purifying organs only to be re
newed in vigor and strength and
then to be again 'sent on its ceaseless
course, so a country's population con
tinues its pulsation from city impurity
to the country's fragrance and health
f ul atmosphere, whe're, rejuvenated
und made fresh and strong, it flows
back into the oity to repeat the pro
cess over and over again. Thus the
never oeasing ebb and flow goes on.
If the tide is now running toward the
country, at the appointed time it will
tarn its course and flow back upon
the cities. This interesting law of
development may be served in the
growth of every nation. The Chi
cago Chronicle says :
"Seorotary Wilson conveys to the
inericau people the more than wel
come information that . the desertion
of the farms for oity life, which has
been going on at an alarming rate for
the last 20 years, soerus to have come
to an end, and that something like a
reuotion has set in.
"Aftor a while it was observed that
all the cities, not only of tins country,
but of all the .countries, were grow
ing in the same way. Finally it
dawned on , our understanding that
. the furius were being dosorted and
that what we had been priding our
selves' on as nothing more or less than
u deplorable National disease, What
we had hailed as solid municipal
muscle and fat was seen to be dropsi
cal wind and water.
"ThiB wild fight of the country
pooplo to the cities is something of a
mystery, bocnuse it has taken place
simultaneously with m immense
amelioration of the loneliness and
hardships of farm life. In oar day
the trolley car darts by the farmer's
gate, the lottercarrior hands him his
mail, and 'bus calls to take his child
ren to school. Farm work is now be
ginning to be done by storage batter
ies. The farmer is no longer com
pelled to manufacture everything ho
needs, but can buy it for a trifle at
the nearest town. Un his tablo are
the finest periodicals and books in the
world; ho reads thorn by electric
light ; ho telephones his orders around
the farm or his gossip to his neigh
bors, and rides to the depot in an
automobile,.
"How is it that men so pleasantly
Huituated, with the sweot privilege
of looking Nature in tho face, breath
ing unpolluted, air, drinking pure
water and eating pure food, can give
it up for the griino and filth, the
smoke and stench, the oloso', quarters
und adulterated food, tho starvation
wages and incessaut strikes, lockouts
and mobs of the city, will always be
regarded as an insoluable problem.
"Not only do the farmers .wrong
-'themselves when thev flock to the
city, but they Jiufliot a torriblejinjury
oil society. Agrioulturo is paralyzed
and the cities are glutted, Impover
ished and oorrupteil When they
come to the city and made themselves
and eveybody loss miserable they then
proposed as a remedy not a return to
the farm, but socialism.
" 'Baok to the farm' should be the
watohword of Americans. It is to bo
feared that Secretary Wilson is far
too sanguine, but if his prognostica -tion
is correct, it is tho best news
this country has heard J,sineo the. sur
render at Appomattox. "
As is always the case preceeding a
session of the Legislature, this Winter
has been the occasion of a number of
senatorial gatherings for the purpose
of lining Jup a majority for -this or
that aspirant to the presidency of the
Senate. It has probably never oc
curred to the gentlemen that such
gatherings might be of some substan
tial benefit to those who foot the
bills, if the meetings were devoted to
the consideration of subjects that
require farther legislation, fiat who
ever heard of a bunoh' of Oregon's
senators getting together to consider
anything but petty politics. As for
laws, these are supposed to be fixed
through in any old shape. It will
take twenty years to rectify the
bungling mistakes of the last
Legislature.
Most of these men have some
abiilty. Our government would be
placed on an immeasurably higher
plane, however, if the people would
only realize that no real public bene
fit ever has been or ever will be real
ized from men who make politics
their profession and means of liveli
hood. May this light some day fall upon
the people.
County Court.
(Continued from last week.)
WISDOM OF OCR FATHERS.
Again the wonderful foresight of
the makers of the Oregon constitution
is revealed. Surely they saw! in the
dim future the leaders of State politics
broiling in the cauldron of Govern
ment land fraud prosecution. No
doubt they had misgivings as to
whether enough members of the legis
lature' would remain outside the pot
to transact legislative business. So
the wise constitution makers bestowed
upon legislators imniuumry from
arrest for the period covered,by the
session of the legislature and fifteen
days prior thereto. It looked for a
time as though this provision was
all that would insure a quorum in the
upper House unless its sittings could
be held behind prison bars.

cause itching, this form, as well as
blind, bleeding or protruding piles are

people who . wish to make a winter
trip to Yaquina Bay, the Southern
Pacific Company will sell, on Wed
nesdays, and Saturdays of each week,
until Maroh 81, 1905, round trip

vantage of this rate should apply to

Maple Lane Installation.
Maple Lane Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, will install its newly
elected oflioers on Saturday, January
7, 1905. J. Vorhees, of Woodburn, a
member of the State legislative oom
mittee of the State Grange, will con
duct the installation which will take
place in the afternoon. The morning
session will be dovoted to routine
business if the Grange and dinner
will be served by the ladies, as usual.
The meeting will be called at 10
o'clock.
A Grim Tragedy.
is daily euiictod, in thousands of
homes, as Death claims, in each one,
another victim of Consumption or
pneumonia. Hut when coughs and
colds aro properly treated, the tragedy
is averted. F. G. Huntley, of Oak
laudon, Ind., writes: "My wife had
the consumption, nnd three dootors
gave her up. Finally sho took Br.
King's Now Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, which cured
her, and today she is well and
strong." It kills the germs of all
diseases. One dose relieves. Guar
anteed at 50o and $1 by Howell &
Jones, druggists. Trial bottle free.
"The Buskin' Bee."
The Women of IWoodcraft have so
cured Clara Louise Thompson to 'give
her musiunl comedy "The Huskin'
Bee." She has given it in Ta-oma,
Spokane, and the towns of Eastern
Orogon, to tho capacity of the houses.
New music, new songs, original
dances, 70 people are required to give
'The Haskin' Bee." Many original
specialties will bo introduced there
will bo reoord . breakers and warran
ted to croate a laugh at any distance.
The cast includes the cleverest local
talent of the city. The society young
people will give a plantation walk
around that will create great excite
ment. The play itself is, "one long
laugh." This-ill be the amateur
event of the 'season. Two hours of
solid fuu. Come and have a good
glauh.
