IS IT COMING AT LAST?
There is hope, more than hope, that
lust fall's Democratic laudslide will
be the means of Riving this conntry a
paroels post a syHtera we should have
had twenty-five years ago, and would
have had but for the fact that the
boodle of four groat express compan
ies was potent to bnv enough con
gressmen to stop this demand.
Just think of the utter inconsistency
of an American paying more to send a
package from Oregon pity to Portland
than he lias to pay for the same pack
age from Oregon Oity to the end oi
Europe.
Every European nation has the par
cols post, and a German can have ati
eleven pound package si'nt him Jrom
Gremany to Clackamas county at a
moderate price, for that is an inter
national privilege, while lie can't
have suoh a package sent to him from
CanDV at any price he must give io
to the express company.
The AuiHriuau people have kicked
long and lond against this injustice,
but a Republican congress has listened
more to the big interests. The Dem
ocrats have long advocated this re
form, and now, being in power, it is
op to them.
Representative Sulzer lias a bill be
fore congress giving our oountry the
parcels post. It looks as if it would
pass and President Taft dare not veto
it.
DRIVING HOBOES ALONG.
Thore is somothiug dead wrong
somewhere when the associated press
dispatohes put a box head around a
news item that Oontralia has chased
852 hobos out of town iu thirty days.
Once in a while misfortune will
oamp on a man's trail and finally
come and sleep with him. Thore are
times when everything goes dead
wrong and a mau can't shake off the
hoodo. But this doesn't happen to
358 nieu in one month iu one town.
The most of these men are tramps,
plug-uglies and bums because they
waut to be. They are as daugorous
to a community bh mnd dogs, and the
remedy of olmsiiifg them out of town
and keeping watch to see that they go
to some other town is a miRhty poor
moans to solve the problom. As well
abase out a smallpox cane.
There are ways of making these ho
bos earn what thoy cost the different
oounties, and the poor roads of Ore
gon is one Bhiuiug way. Driving
them from one county to another
doesn't solve the tramp problem, but
rattier encourages it.
Governor Wilson of New Jersey will
speak in Portlaud May 18, and politi
cian are wondering why he should
hike out over three thousand miles at
this season to talk to Oregou.aud they
are wouderiug if it isn't beoauso he
has the presidntiai yearning, and
that Oregon is the first state to eleot
national detonates. Hut regardless of
politics and ambitions, Wilhon is one
man who promised the pooplo what
he would do if elected ami then did
it. He has oleauod up boss-controlled
Now Jersey and he has gaiued publio
confidence byso doing as no otlior man
ever gained it in so short a time.
Abuse Is uot argument, ridioule is
not reason, and people who do their
own thinking Bre not influenced by a
street haraugue where personalities
are dragged in headlong for argu
ments The dav for this line of Btuff
has gono by. The people don't cure
whether U'lten woars tailor-mado or
reach-me-down suits; whether le
dines with Fols or bits a lunch ooun
ter. Statements backed up, and ar
guments to make one think aro what
oouut not personalities
The "organization" fellows and
papers may kick agaiust Oregon's re
form lawB until they are winded, but
tho people are for tliesd reforms just
the same. The WaNhingtou dispatches
state that, 2,100,000 copies of Mentor
Bourne's speech, ou our Htatu's sys
tem of government have been distrib
uted throughout the oountry, and Ore
gon laws are being made issues in
many eastern states.
Diaa, proud old autocrat of Moxioo,
has oome otf his perch and now de
clares he will resign as booh as peace
is restored. But Martoro is leary of
the double oross.
By a vote of 2!i(l to 100 the house
passed the free list bill Monday. The
Democrats voted solidly for the bill
and 24 Republicans joined with them.
A Bank's Obligations
J Just as our clieuts plan to meet their obligators
here when they become due, the officers and em
ployes of this bank plau to meet every obligation
imposed by its relations with its clients.
(T Safety of money held in trust; sub
" stantial aid in tho pioinotioti of de
positors' interests; willing consideration
of meritorious projects; recompense for
service based on equity these are some
of the obligations which are recognized
by this institution, on the basis of which
it invites business, individual and sav
ings accounts.

CAN THEODORE RETURN?
Ever since the power of money de
feated Roosevelt's candidate for gov
ernor of New York state, that flame
power and those same interests have
been steering Roosevelt to hit the
chutes.
And now the question is, can Theo
dore oome back?
As a political rule the man in pub
lio life, who once loses a tee hold,
and who slips back even an inch, is a
dead one. It's the rule to plug the
game of the Big Noise jnst so long as
he makes the most noise, and drop
him when lie gets faint on the racket.
But that African hunter is a hard
man to kill oft he'll come back if
any man can return. He resents the
way the man he made, President Taft,
is throwing the gaff into him, and he
isn't the breed to sit down and cro
chet while his enemies set traps for
him.
President Taft fears him, but he
fears the "interests" more, and be
tween them well, he is scratching
Ills head some.
A guess parses for wisdom, until it
goes wrong, and miue is that Roose
velt hasn't been counted out yet, and
that you'll hear from him before an
other president Is elected for this
country
His strength lies in the people, the
common herd. They have confidence
in him, believe in liis dead houetty
and what he preaches.
And these days the herd counts for
something.
Watch for the smoke signals.
THE FAT COMMITTEE PLACES.
The minute a man is elected to the
state or national legislature he begins
to poll for a place on some committee,
and iie will sell his soul to those who
have the power to place him.
Ever stop to think WHY?
Doesn't it look as if he wanted to
get in the grab game, aud that a good
committee job would put him where
ho could hold his hand behind him
and have it filled?
These ohairmen of committees have
the power to make the corporations
come down through "strike bills'
and the various ways they play their
cards. It's a part of the game and
the corporations know it and play it,
and great corporation funds are on
tap to buy chips with.
; Politics in this day is very, very
rotten, but the time is not far off
wlieu the people are going to clean up
for the whole works.
Mr. Joseph Fels,' millionaire - soap
manufacturer, sayB that lie and Car
negie and Rookefeller and J. P.
Morgan and every other rich mau
have become rich by robbing the pub
lio. Also he suggests a plan which
will prevent a few men from getting
rich at the expense of many men.
Soino ricli men Bay that Mr. Fels is
iudulgiug in "loose talk." Just yon
remembor that Mr. Fels ought to
know the game. He has made a big
iortune out of it himself. He thinss
he knows how to change onr laws so
that every man will have a "fair
shake. " He speaks very plainly.

The other day Great Britain
launched the largest armoured cruiser
ever built. Now Germany will come
in with one just a little bigger and
more scarey looking; Jhen the United
States and its Hobsons will raise the
ante; John Bull will come back a lit
tle bigger and then Germany will
start over. This war bluff game runs
like the story of the house that Jack
built. We are all afraid of eaoh.other
and we all try to keep eaoh other
afraid. A great game, but it costs.
.The new "free list" tariff law, now
botore congress, puts on the free list
the articles that the trusts control.
The reciprocity bill puts on the tree
list the articles the farmers raise.
Phhs; them; both and the average will
be a mighty good proportion for this
country. But what do yon think of
our president lathering the recipro
city bill and opposing the "free list"
resolution?
The Portlaud Weloome relates how
doteotives found au opium den on Ev
erett Btreut last week in which were
five negroes under the influence of the
"hop." The result was a flue of $125

"Getting what you waut without us
ing chloroform or a sandbag" is the
wav Roosevelt defines iusurgeuoy, and
no one but the Colonol could express
it quite so expressively.
Our guoes is that within thirty Jays
you will see our country intervene in
Mexico to suppress iiiiarohy and to
protect tho thousands of Amerioan in
vestors there.
Woodrow Wilson is about the Big
gest Demoorat in tne bunch just now.
Jaurez has fallen, the rebellion has
spread all over Mexion, and the end
of Diaz's rule is in s'ght. The ques
tion now is whether or no Madero oan
oontrol the situation or whether an
archy an asassination will follow un
til this conntry is compelled to inter
vene. A special election was held at Pilot
Rock, Monday, on the proposition to
annex Stodevant. It must have been
an inteiestmg and exoiting conttst,
as'four votes did the annexing, while
two votes were cast against the pro
position. Someone had better go to
this Umatilla .town and start some
thing to wake up the citizens.
The politicians of Springfield, aided
by a liandv judge, have effectually
closed the Lorimer investigation, and
while men stand ready to swear they
were bribed and were offered bribes,
Judge Petit rules of) gome habeas cor
pus stuff, and the matter is closed.
But the people long ago rendered their
verdiut, and the United States senate
is further disgraced by allowing Lor
imer a seat
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Both the feleral and confederate
forces were making active prepara
tions for the oomiog struggle. Mis
souri was on the point of takins sides
with the confederacy , bnt was pre
vented from doing so through the
activities of Farnnis P. Blair and
Oapt. Lyon. The eovernor of Mis
souri waa a thorough disunionist, and
he declined to furnish any volunteers
requested by President Lincoli'. The
government arsenal at St Louis con
tained a great many stands of arms
aud Governor Jackson undertook,
with the aid of the Missouri state
luiltia to capture the arsenal and
turn the arms over to the confederate
forces. Gen. Harney, who was luke
warm in support of the government,
was relieved by Capt. Lyon, and the
latter official, in conjunction with
Oapt, Stokes, managed to remove, in
the night time, all the arms and am
munition to Springfield, 111.
Iu Virginia the work of mobilizing
troops was pursued with the greatest
acivity. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
was assigned to the command of all
the state forces 1 ear Richmond.
Gen. Benjamin F. Bntler was ap
pointed to the command of the newly
created department of army posts
"Gen. U. S. Grant is elected -captain
of a company of volnnteers at Galena,
III., hut declines, giving as a reason
that lie had served the country as an
officer iu the army for nine years and
he thought he was fitted to command
a regiment. He later appears at the
office of the adjntant general of Illi
nois and is assigned to a clerkship.
Of his position he wrote: "I am no
elerk, nor have I any capacity to be
come one" The office of adjotaut
general was filled by a politician who
knew little or nothing of military
work. The clerks in the office were
politioal opponents and they looked
upon Grant as an intruder. Gen.
Grant was 39 years old at the time.
Springfield was a war center and was
second only in importance to Wash
ington. In an address to the confederate
oongreFS Jefferson Davis said the
south was ready and anxious for the
war, and he ridiculed President Lin
coln's paper blockade of sontbern sea
ports.
Vice President Stevens was not so
sure about the final outcome of the
war. He wanted the south to act en
tirely on the defensive.
The Maryland legislature refused to
pans the ordinance of seceiBion. 1
The First Rhode Island, under com
mand of Gov. Sprague, well armed
and well equipped, and with a supply
of three weeks' provisions, arrived in
Washington and were quartered in

Corporations as Joy Riders.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey is not only a forceful and con
vincing public speaker, but he fre
quently uses comparisons and anec
dotes of a decidedly orlglnnl and of
ten distinctly humorous nature. In a
recent address the governor aptly Il
lustrated the difference between
"good" corporations aud "bad" cor
porations, as follows:
"1 have no objection to the or
dinary automobile properly handled
by a man of conscience who Is also a
gentleman. Many of the people I see
handling automobiles bundle them as
If they had neither conscience nor
manners. 1 have no objections to the
size and beauty and power of the au
tomobile. 1 am Interested, however, in
the size and conscience of the men
who bnndle them, and what I object
to is that some of these corporation
men are taking Joy rides In their cor
porations. "You know what men do when they
take a Joy ride. Tbey sometimes have
the time of their lives and sometimes,
fortunntely, the last time of their lives.
Now these wretched things are taking
Joy rides In which they don't kill the
people that ore riding In them, but
they kill the people tbey run over."

Every thinking man recognizes the
fact that conditions of life In the Unit
ed States have altered materially with
in the " memory of men still young.
But not every statesman has been able
to express his appreciation of these
great changes as cleorly and concise
ly as did Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey In a recent address.
Governor Wilson said: .
"Now, I take leave to beleve there
Is one singular question that underlies
all the other questions that are dis
cussed on the political platform at the
present moment That singular cir
cumstance Is that nothing Is done in
(bis country as it was done twenty
years ago. The old party platforms of
twenty years ago read now like docu
ments taken out of a forgotten ago.
We are In the presence of a new or
ganisation of society. We are eagerly
bent on fitting that new organization,
as we did once fit the old organiza
tion, to the happiness and prosperity
of the great body of citizens, for we
are conscious that that order of society
does not fit and provide the conven
ience or happiness or prosperity of the
average man."

If you are planning to grow your
own asparagus plants, sow the seed as
soon as the ground can be worked.
Palmetto is a splendid variety and
you will make no mistake in plant
ing it. Be sure to get seed from a re
liable grower. Make the drills wide
enough apart to permit cultivation
with ajhorse. Thinning the plants to
two inohes in the drill, and thorough
shallow cnliivaiion are necessary to
secure strong, well-rooted plants by
fall.
Do Ghosts Haunt Swumps?
No, never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous and low
lands. These are tne malarial germs
that cause ague, chills and fever,
weakness, aches in the bones and mus
oles and may induce deadly typhoid.
