BROWN, - Editor. THE GRAFTERS. Do von remember that little parody of Ella Wheeler Wilcox that finishes with these three lines: "It's the great big thiet Who gets ont on leave, While the little one goes to jail." Steal a pair of shoes in Oregon City and yon will got six months. Steal a job from the government and you will get Into tne "organization. ' The graft disclosures of the past three years, ami of the past three weeks, almost make an honest man wonder if Providonoe isn't off duty, and the government handed over to the looters. As stated in an editorial last week, seven hundred thousand names are on the government's payroll. Let that soak in. Comprehend, if yon can, t us great army of place-holders, and conoeive if yon can the necessity of having one orib-feeder for every twenty free born American voters. Tins is thicker than ward heolers in a close city ward, and any man who has an nunoe of grey matter and a pulse that beats over 82 knows that such a payroll is rotteu. that it Is thievery that it stinks. The press dispatohos from Washing ton state that 88 policemen are yet do ing Spanish war duty, to watch for Plotters: tolograph operators dismissed three years ago, yet draw their $1400 a year; that a document room that has not been in existence for 1(S years draws 5,000 for expenses; that over it), 000 is paid for a library whiah does not exist: that a la-year-oid gin draws lldOO and so on with a list of Qolden Fleece hunters. Now you have it figured out that this is (in attack on the Republican administration, and the weather indi cations of coming storm signals from tne Uonrier. Guess again. The Republican administration has become rotten because of years oi in trenchmout, because they have had the hooks to joggle and no inspector to jack them np. Uive the Demo crats the same opportunity and they won Id soon have a system that wonld make Tammany Hall eat its halo through envy, It is simply an inflated age where public oflloials baok honor and hones ty into the siding and put their hands behind them. It's a great game of graft and politics that even gets the dead lionost man in an indirect way, and the result is loss of confidence by the herd, open orittoism of our high est conrtfl, and the making of more Socialists every day than an army of speakers onuld make in u year, And the outoome? Well, a now paity thut will clean up for both bunches some of these sweet days. Now you guess. CULTURE DIFFERS In looking over the work accom plished in the high sohools of the United Status one may find that it is hard to get at any facts back of four years ago. In 11)07 high schools teach ing various lines of agriculture were about 25 in number. In the four years hiuoo the number has increased nntil it is about 400, or over 1600 por oent. This simply shows how the in terest is increasing in practical mat ters. The fact has been reoognized that students when thuy got to the seventh grudo began to have ideas as to wiiat they wished to follow in after years, and it was dillioult to keep in line some who dcHired to take elective studies with the future especially in view. It was extremely difllcult to uonviuco some students where the benefits were in taking particular studies and while for a year possibly, or louger, the youth would follow the work with reasonable industry they were still unoouviucud as to its use fulness. The mind of the seventh grade stu dent has about reached the stage whore it wants you to "show him" a reason that appeals to his judgment. And in the work of teaching the trades in the schools the mind is given a chance to select for itself what appeals most. The intensely practical side ut education is coming to the front more and more. It must iuclnde that which will bettor lit the boy for his life work. In the farm iifo he wants to know when lie starts farming the best methods to use, how to bui hi a small building, what land will raise a certain kind of growth and what kind of vegetation will grow on hind that ho has bought. A Valuable Faculty (J Determined effort to save develops or strength ens a valuable faculty; namely, tho faculty of drawing the line between the necessary and use less expenditure. (J Think of it: Isn't it usually the thing one is better oft without that takes the tnouey he should save? (fl Hence the double benefit of the saving habit: First, learning to deuy oue's self harmful indulg ences; and scoond, acquiring a property thru little triumphs over self. (J Ask yourself now if there is any reason why you should not become a money saver at The Bank of Oregon City The Oldest Bank in the County This is a great saving in time and money if the knowledge is learned while at sohool. The gfris want to know how to make butter, keep chick ens and many other kindred subjects. If these things are not taught in the sohool life they are learned an gnat jjossfloe later. The saving of this saorifloe is an investment for the com munity. Culture these davs differs from the past In that then it was sought for the Bake of it; now for what it will do toward earning a living. For this reason education is much more gen eral. CRITICISM JUSTIFIABLE The weakness of the press, the newspapers and magazines of the uni is hnnnminsr the Bdbiect of open comment throughout every higher lenmed cnmrnntiitv. and from the sub iects handled with as near flagrant violation of our postal laws as to ob scoue literature, smacks of indecency and Hue words couching all that ib Immoral, with such illustrations as one may find in all the gieat papera of this day where the young minn is uu on from innocence to a mind of slavery to coarse passions. What does the press of today expect to mane out 01 tne Dlaspnomous leaciwig auu umi inn that arrears to be their main theme. It is a known fact that large city dailies make a practice of coming out with crenr. head lines, sometimes in red ink. flaunting cold-blooded mu dorfl, and all else, as far as they dure eo before decent humanity, making the character destroying storing reek with gore, and the following day when the truth is known, they de trnct. in some remote corner ot the sheot, in small type, as mildly as pos sible. It is not the public that is nlumnrina tor such vile stuff. It IB the vouuk upstarts, the reporters, who are fiihtina for all the latest news aud who in their infancy do not know what real news is. Very little or the "sensational stuff" ever sees the managing oditor, or city editor, and therefore there is no censorship, and the matter is allowed to run, many times at the very last niiuute, and in a majority of cases deals with much that should not be flashed be fore the younger mind, not yet strong enough to withstand its duuinging influences, building therefrom the coarser, narrowed minds that will soon be BBked to take the reins of our nation, and drive on to that dostmy the oominar events of which ar6 but now casting their blackening shadows even to the hanilots. THOSE HARD OLD DAYS. How often we hear people speak of "the good old times," or "the good old days," before the high cost of . living cut auy figure, whon there were so many opportun ities that it was difficult to se lect from the best among them, when in every walk and every vocation auy man of good habits aud industry con Id soon obtain a compe tency. Dalles Optimist. But who of us would want to return to the "good old times" of our boy hood, with their days of hardships, eoouomy and eaoriiloe'r Those "good old times ' were barn oiu times, ana yon oau't make anything else out of them. Tmn onmu will rnnnll these old days and in all sincerity doclare they were days witnour, mucn care, a liv ing with little anxiety and the hap piest of all days. And so they were, from that point of view. cut wno or us wouia want to bu baok? Would the Optimist editor? We have been educated up to a higher utiiiirlurrl nr iipi'Iiriih a faster stand ard, of liviug ;' we cau't go baok to the old days and old ways aud live Imiinv. We nnn't nut over father's clothes for sonny, for the yonug hope ful will not wear them; we can't send Mary to school in a pair of cobbler luade Bhoos, for the girl will back up; we oau't use rag carpets on the parlor floor, because we are ashamed of them. This is a high gear date, when all ant to rise aud shine. Dead wrong 1 will admit, but we take very kindly to the speed and you can never got us baok in tne siow race again. Tim "onod old iluvs" are a night mare, aud the man who advocates the hike back would be the lirst to drop out of the hike, The Democrats propose to even up that Oauadiau reciprocity treaty, which largoly effects the farmers' produots, and they promise to put on the free list agricultural implements, dressed meat aud meat products, flour, rough lumber, boots, shoes aud saddlery, wire teucing, bailing wire, cotton bagging, cotton ties, bagging ties, burlap and salt. Whether the senate will dare kill those revisions, after favoring the Canadian bill, re mains to be seen. The California justice got weak knees, clipped eleven days off Jack Johnson's jail sentence and .let him off Kaster morning. The (people would like to have seen the big law breaker serve full time. Since he downed Jellries, Johnson has seemed to think ho and his bank roll could do abont what they pleased. There never was a time when it was more important for the farmer to be alive to his own interest tnan right now. The cry for "cheaper food" has gone up all over the coun try, and the big interests are prepar iug to make the farmer bear the bar den involved in cheaper living by ro moving all the barriers agaiust a world-wide competition in food stuffs, while offering the farmer nothing in leturn. There are intimations of a breaking up of old standards aud a national readjustment, and now, if ever, the farmer is in need of friends at court, of representatives ana anvo cafes on the floor of congress, to see to it that in this i rocess of readjust mei't he be not ground between the upper and the nether millstone, as has too often been the case. Cheaper liviug is demanded, but let it be cheapened all around. If there must be cheaper butter, give the farmer cheaper shoes; ir tnere must De a de cline in eggs, let something be shaved off the price of binder twine; if we must have cheaDcr wheat, let us see to it that the duty on flour is also m rtovedjif there must be fne wool there should also be free woolens. All that the farmers of this country demand is a square deal. lhey pro test against being offered up as a eao rifice to the cry for cheap food, when already they are carrying the nation al load by the short end of the stick. Alfalfa growers of the Northwest have viewed with alarm the constant spread of the alfalfa weevil, and hope that the government will be success' ful in stopping the pest before it gets thoroughly established in tins section. Great damage wrought by the weevil, which attacks alfalfa, aud whioh has been coutiued so far principally to Utah, is oauBing officials oi the de uarment of agriculture to make plans for a fight. This c.u.ide probably will he the most important new work, according to D. O. Howard, chief of the bureau, which he aud Ins assis tants will have on hand next season. As alfalfa is such an important crop in many of the states west ot the first tier beyond the Mississippi, govern ment olliciats are anxioua to find some means of extermination of the weevil Unlike the cotton boil weevil, the alfalta pest does its work on the out side of the plant, attacking the leaves and etc lk. If one modern battleship costs $10, 000,000, how much will a full-sized modern navy cost? This is one of the questions which every govern ment which aspires to bu considered a "power" in the world is asking itself and being asked by its constit uents. The answer is something like $110,000,000 or $NO,000,000 a year, with a large amount in addition to pay for the men to man the floating fortresses of the "Dreadnought" type which this money goes to build. Great Britain is Beriously concerned about such questions as poverty among her, people and poverty in her exohequer and yet seems to be compelled to pro ceed along lines which are apparently financially ruinous in the direction of keeping up its tremendous navy. "If the American republic is to survive it must be saved by the efforts of the patriotic cit izens who want nothing for themselves but the advantages that accrue from the general public weal. " Ex-Governor Folk. You Btand-patters will say Folk is a radical and an alarmist, but yon fellows who haven t any halters and who read and think, you will know that Missouri's ex-governor isn't more than a hundred miles off.

And m view of the reign of terror the Independent spreads over its'rirst nages, tins action should have been expectod. Frauk W. Benson, secretary of state, who died in California last week, was a splendid character, and no man holding public office in this state ftood closer to the people. Honor able, honest, he hold their confidence, and ho will loug be remembered. Senator Bourne is keeping his end up for appropriations. This week he utroduced bills at Washington calling for $lf0,000 for a pnblio building at Astoria, and fIO.000 for a fish culture station, to be located later on. It appears that Piesident Diaz has awakened to the fact that his oouutry has a war on, ana he is calling for volunteers. The pay is 60 cents a day with fair prospects of being killed.

EdUor of the A'tio York Si ale Gvantr Review EDUCATING THE BOYS. New York State Fair Commission Plans Couris of Study. The New York state grange is co-op erating with Commissioner Pearson of the department of agriculture in a very Important mutter relating to farm boys. The commissioner proposes to have' 100 boys visit the state fair at Syracuse In order that they may learn by practical observation many things that farm boys should know and yet perhaps do not know. The plan Is to select boys from fifteen to nineteen years of age from each county In the state, boys who are living on furms, to the number of not more than 100, who shall attend the state fair during the entire week. The boys pay their own expenses, and If they comply with all the regulations then the expenses will be refunded. Their sleeping places and meals will be furnished free, but each boy Is to take the necessary jed ding. A competent person will be In charge of the boys at all times. A lec ture each day will be given to the en tire company. The boys will attend In squads, and they will assist in turn at the fair morning or afternoon and the balance of tho time will be theirs. They may assist In the stock judging rings, In the live stock parade, ticket taking, etc. After the boys have re turned home any one may write an essay of not over 1,000 words and sub mit the same for prizes, the best four to receive a pair of calves each (all of the same breed), next best four to re ceive a pair of sheep each, next four to receive a pair of hogs each, the next best four to receive one bushel of seed corn each, the next best four to re ceive one-half bushel of seed corn. Prizes will also be offered at the fair a year later for the best results boys can show from their prizes for 1911. A circular letter to the boys appointed will give all details as to what they should bring to the fair, etc. This idea is a good one and was hearUly Indors ed by the New York state grange. The practical working out of the plan will be watched with considerable Interest by those who believe In giving farm boya the benefits of such practical ob servations and education. GRANGE TO JAKE A HAND. Organization to Aid In Fight Against Tuberculous. The New York state grange is taking an active interest in the fight against tuberculosis. At a conference recently held between F. N. Godfrey of Olean, master of the organization, and a special committee on tuberculosis ap pointed by the grange, with E. A. Moree, director of the extension work of the State Charities Aid association, plans were made for carrying the coun ty hospital propaganda into the rural districts of the state. The committee, which Is composed of W. N. Giles of Skaneateles, J. W. Scott of Copake and Charles G. MeLouth of Manchester, de cided to send a letter to the 700 granges of the state, representing a combined membership of nearly 100,- 000, urging them to ask boards of su pervisors to Investigate the question of building tuberculosis hospitals. The local granges are urged not only to get the matter before their super visors, but to see to it that the subject Is treated entirely on its merits. The committee also decided to ask local granges to employ visiting nurses to care for tuberculosis patients In the homes and to popularize the county hospitals. County physicians will be asked to comply with the law requir ing the reporting of every case of tu berculosis and to disinfect the prem ises after the death or removal of a paUent Busy Grange. State Lecturer McKeen of Maine in speaking of the discussions In the grange says that out of 260 reports re ceived from 440 granges in the state it was learned that 10G.041 bad attend ed about COO meeUngs, bad listened to over 5,000 speakers, 610 addresses, 459 essays, COS grange papers, over 2,000 recitations, over 6,000 musical selec Uons and more than 6,000 readings and recitations. Grange Newt Notei. "Are co-operating marketing associa tions nractlcal and desirable?" Is a good question for discussion in the grunge. The record for charter membership far as known Is held by a new grange at Greigsvllle, N. Y.. which or ganized with 203 charter members. Eureka cranee of New York offers $100 In prizes for the best acre of corn grown this year by any of its mem bers. That is certainly a practical way to inspire new Interest in corn growing. The national grange legislative com mittee consists of N. J. Bachelder of New Hampshire, T. C. Atheson of West Virginia and Aaron Jones of In diana. They look after grange inter ests at Washington. George T. Towell, a prominent mem ber of the grange and president of the Agricultural Experts' Association of New York, is in favor of Canadian rec iprocity and believes that, while the farmer may suffer some temporarily. In the long run he will not be the loser thereby. All eyes will be turned on Washington during the extraordinary session of congress, as no subject is now more widely agitated among the granges than this of reciprocity of farm products with Canada, When a meidcine must be given to young children it should be pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is made from loaf sugar, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it pleasant to take.

An interesting specimen of some of nature's whimsical handiwork was exhibited at Dallas, says the' Observ er. In appearance it was just a frag ment of an ordinary fir knot, yellowed by decay, bnt when taken into the hand its weight very quickly showed it to be of stone. Otherwise it bore little resemblance to being of mineral formation. The grain of the original wood was distinct and perfeot, aud the "whorls" and twists and oddities of growth were as clearly shown as when it had ben ea part of a living tree. When a small silver was broken off the "line of oleavage," as the geolo gists oall it, it followed the course of the fiber of the wood, and instead of breaking or cracking it siinpl; split away. It was a very line example or petrifaction, and was plowed up a few days ago by Mr. Macomber while he waB breaking a piece of new ground on his farm. It weighed two pounds and one ounce. On the same spot he also turned np an anoient Indian pestle, , about eiuht inches in length, which showed the marks of long usage in the daily prep aration of'l;the aboriginal mess of breakfast food.
