OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1909 Oregon City Courier Published Every Friday by Oregon City Courier Publishing Co, Entered In Oregon City Postofflce Second-Class Mall. as SUBSCRIPTION BATES. Six months . Palu In advance, per year The Farmer as a Citizen. ., What ever may be said of the Im portance of agriculture and Increas ing the profits of the farm, there Is nothing of so great Importance as the mental, moral and social develop ment of the farmer and his family. All educational policies for the rural people and all efforts for the uplift of agriculture should have as their basis the development of the rural people In such a way as to enable them to take their place with people engaged in other Industries and semi public affairs of the nation. The far mers should be aided In their effort to become competent to perform the duties of citizenship In an intelligent and patriotic way. They should also be Impressed with the Idea that what ever contributes to maintaining a home where love and , social cheer abounds Is one of the most Important agents In enabling them to become good citizens. The production of crops at a profit and the prosperity that may follow In profitable investments of their surplus are Important, but after all, those things that contribute to a happy home life, with decent re gard for the general welfare, are the most Important of all. These are the things that the Crange teaches and encourages, and when Us objects and purposes are rightly understood the organization commends Itself to the most eminent statesmen engaged in promoting the general welfare of the people. The farmer Is of more importance than the farm, and the agency that contributes to his develop ment as a citizen lh of more value than any that only contributes tofln ancial gain., ENS FROM 1 NATION'S CAPITAL ROOSEVELT'S ATTENTION GIVEN TO JAPANESE QUESTION. GRAVEST CONCERN IS FELT House Favors Inspection of Nursery Stock Imported Large Dry dock for Hawaii. 'denuding the forests' from earliest days of clearing and burning' down to the present group of stubby pines on a city sidewalk. "When he had finished snvinK the country, I roniarked: 'Cheer op' All is not lost I, too, used to lament as yon do now, but last summer when in Northern Michigan I was disillu sioned. Tliese promising monarch of the forest are nothing ..but second growth 'scrubs' whiuli under the most tavorable circumstances would never reach a height of more than ten or fif teen feet with a stem too small even for fence posts. Au old lumberman drove me for several miles over laud lie bad cut over fully twenty years ago now covered witli thousands of these scrubs. All efforts to grow any thing largei had utterly failed.' " 'I hope it's so," he remarked doubtingly, 'anyway I feel some bet ter. " One of the noblest efforts which . have enlisted the activities of Presi dent Koosevelt daring his administra tion is his reoent appeal for greater care and consideration for the depen dent children of the country. It it probable that as a people we have been too easily satisfied that we have fulfilled our whole duty in providing asyiums ana institutions lor orphans. We take a vast amount of self con - gratnlat'on in our public school sys tem and it has not occurred to some of.ns that there is disadvantage in the herding of child ron in institutions of any kind. Anv child that misses in dividual study and love is missing the most precious gift to which it is entitled and the president is responsi ble for the humane and elevated idea that dopondent children should as fur as possible be placed in homes rather than in asylums. Unfortunately the millenium ot kindness and unselfish ness has not arrived and by placing orphans in private homos we should still have many cases in which the little dependents would be treated as the "bound out apprentices" of an earlier generation were treated, but it mast be admitted that the altruistic sentiment has doveloped of late years nudor the improved and easier condi tions of life and that there are good women to be found in every neighbor hood whose heartB are broad and deep enough to admit little chidlreu if the pookotbook could be Btretched to cov er their absoute needs. Love is the natural right of every child but we agree with the president in believing that it is to bo found in the family oftenor than in the asylum and that even without it the iufiuenoeg of a home are better than thoso of crowd ed institutions. Just as contagion and disoase are more easily mauagud in a household thitu in a school, so the germs of evil that children sprend may be more easily hold in check whore there are only a few children sequestered in the home titan whoie they are herded In groat numbers un dor one roof. The furthor suggestion that mothers left dostitute with young on in iron si.ouiii ue aiuoa tiy the statu in keeping and supporting them n.ust mane a strong appeal to all humane people. Wln-n we roaoh tho spiritual development which compels us to pro vide a fax on all men capable of be getting children to oover the cost of rearing and educating all illegitimate children wo may fol that we have oanso for satisfaction in modern hu manity and charity. .Washington, Feb. 16.- Never, during his long term of office, has President Roosevelt been more deep ly concerned over any national ques tion than he la over the possibility of a rupture with Japan. It is not stating It too strongly to Bay that the President, knowing the situation as he does, feels that a sincle mis guided act of hostility in this coun try, may force a rupture, the extent and result of which no man can fore see. The defeat of the anti-Japanese bills in California has for the present postponed the issue, but has not changed the general situation. The Japanese question has occu pied the bulk of the President's time and consideration for the past three or four wefilts ever since anti-Japanese bills were introduced In the California legislature. Dally the President b&s been in consultation with the heads of the state depart ment; with representatives of the Japanese government, with senators and representatives, leading men of California and other western states. SIGNS OF PROGRESS Items Concerning Oregon s Advancement Gleaned From Columns of Our Exchanges In addition to items heretofore enumerated, the river and harbor bill, soon to be reported to the house, will carry $500,000 for con tinuation of the work on the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river, $200,000 for repairing and operat ing the dredge Chinook, $100,000 for continuing Improvement of the Portland-to-the-sea channel, together with a survey of this part of the river, looking to procuring of a 30 foot channel. The appropriation for the mouth of the Columbia river Is far the larg est single Item In the bill, and the Portland engineering district will re ceive more than twice the amount carrJed for any other district In the country. A measure important to the rarm ers of the country, as well as nurs erymen, haB been favorably ucted upon by the house committee on ag riculture. Representative Scott, of Kansas, chairman of the committee, is author of the bill. It provides for government Inspection of nursery stock at porta of entry to be deslg ated by the secretary of agriculture. An appropriation of $100,000 Is car ried by the bill, which also author izes the secretary of agriculture to organize a quarantine against the Importation or transportation In In terstate commerce of diseased nurs ery stock Infested with Injurious Insects. Congress has decided that the only Buitablo vehicle for Mr Tuft is the automobile. If they needed any more confirmatory testimony to reach that dooision they should nave brought forward the Chinese coolies who osod to carry him in a sedan chair outhoir shouldurs through the narrow streets of Canton, or the ricksha men who dragged him about lokahauia niul Tokio. C. M. Leach, of Boston, was the lowest bidder for construction of the drydock at the Pearl Harbor Naval station, Hawaii, proposals for which were opened at the navy department. Bids were submitted by eight firms under six Items containing varying specifications.

The business men, ministers, school children, and citizens of Port land generally are busily engaged this week sending in personal letters to their friends a leaflet, which in ad dition to most effectively advertising the fact that "Oregon is the place for you" and giving the' low colonists rates to this state, contains the follow ing condensed facts on Oregon: OREGON Has one-sixth the standing timber of the United States, or more than any other state.

Scott Carter had tho misfortune to loso one of his colts a few days ago. Tho farmer has to mimd nil ihe weight of loss ol cuttle, goats horses and shoop, and then on top of all that he has to submit to enormous high tax.
