The question is often asked why a daily edition of theEsTERrmsK is not gotten out; that other towns no larger than Oregon City support daily papers. That is all so, but they are differently located. They are in a territory of their own and not forced into competition with any daily paper, es pecially with one of the strength and influ ence of the Oregonian, which i on the at reels ol Oregon City wilhin an hour after it reaches its Portland readers. In the out lying country towns any kind of a slip-shod daily can be made to succeed, for it is that or nothing with the people ol the place. But here in Oregon City a daily paper to succeed and pay aipenses would have to be a clean, well edited paper, containing the principal telegraphic news of the world and a complete account ol all the local events of the city. Oregon City is so badly scattered that it would take at least two good report er to gather up the news of the day, and then they would have to hustle. The tele graph tolls would be no small expense, lor they could not be " grape-vined" from the Oregonian after its 300 readers in this city bad already perused them. The expense of getting out a daily that can lire in Oregon City will exceed that of any other town in the state except Portland and Salem. The publisher of the Ertehprisi is not deterred by these reasons from undertaking the task, and when the business of the town will war rant it he will get out a daily that will be a credit to the city and of value sufficient to warrant its support by the people. The Ektikpbisk office is credited with being one the best fitted up country offices in the state, and it has electric power, cylinder press, type, imposing stones, etc., ample to get out a good daily al any time. The Daily Ektibpribi will appear in due time, and it will come to stay and be worthy of the town and of the office. citing a general movement for good roads leading into its city. The way to get them is to help secure a general statute regulating the subject, providing for bonding the dis tricts. We will never have good roads until we build them and pay for them." The above is from the Salem Statesman, and would do to advocate in a moss-back county like Marion, which is yet working under the horse-trading, yarn-spinning sys tem; but in a progressive, self-helping county like Clackamas, help by bonds is not wanted. Our people preler to pay as they go, and at the rate they are paying the road lax live years will see a s stem of turnpikes in Clackamas county that will be the pride of the county and the envy of our indolent neighbors. Bonding has not a ghost of a show in Clackamas county. Too many re publicans in the county, and they are reso lutely opposed to bonds, which are merely a tax dodging device, whether they be na tional, state or county. The way for Marion, as well as other counties in the stale, is to follow the example of Clackamas and build a few miles of good road each year, and that will soon solve the bond iiuestlon. the hiture, she will do her full share In help ing to smash the apple ami potato records for big yields. Hhe will break her own record each succeeding year for a decade or two at least. Wilts it comes to making a ruling in par liamentary practice the learned mayor of Oregon City can give points to Keed, Kob- erts, or anyother.of the great parliamentary authorities. His ruling on the minority re port of Councilman Moflatt on the church' saloon-distance-limit petition, was a piece of high-handed bosslsm tbat cannot be sus tained by the rules of any parliamentary body. Councilman Motlat, as a member ol the committee, had the right to make a mi nority report regardless of what the major ity did, and the council alone had the power to receive or reject it. But great is our mayor. Is the history of Oregon City there never has been the unanimous desire for a change in the city government so strong as is now manifested. Not much is being said, but the voters are doing more thinking, and election day will witness some startling revelations that will show that they are very much in earnest in their effort to purify city politics. It is remarkable what a leverage it gives a newspaper man in soliciting business to be owing every other man he meets. The ad vertisers and subscribers come up with a rush, each one thinking he is that much ahead on the deal. It doesn't always pay to keep out ot debt, it seems. SPIRIT Of THE PKES8. Thi state medical law appears to be hav ing a rather checkered career and ita en forcemeiit lias been greatly hampered by the public who look upon it as an infringe ment of their liberties. In no other profes sion is this fear of restriction thought of or allowed. In the law a man is not allowed to practice until he has complied with the law and been admitted, a id the lawyers are very jealous as to who are admitted, and the people look with disdain upon a jack leg lawyer as one is called who is not ad mitted to the bar. A school teacher will not be employed who is not legally qualified and cannot draw a tent of wages unless holding a certificate. Even the ministers are under a certain restriction, and congre gations are not inclined to accept a man who is not properly accredited. But at the medical profession the people draw the line and insist that every ignoramus and quack shall have liberty to practice on their bod ies and their pocket books with no restric tions whatever. The time will come when people will think differently, and they will insist on the same standard of excellence in the medical profession tbat they now do in the law and other professions. It is really more important to them, for their health and their lives are in jeopardy, while with the others only their pocket books, or men . tal or moral training is at stake. The county court at its last session did a favor to the taxpayers of Clackamas county in refusing to pay the costs taxed up against the county by several justices of the peace in petty, malicious criminal cases brought before them. There has been entirely too mucb encouragement gived by many of the justices to irresponsible parties to coin mence suit in the name of the stale against any neighbor against whom they may hold grndge. The people, too, have been largely to blame, for many of them encour age these petty rows, knowing that a cloud of witnesses will be summoned and jurors chosen and tbat they will get a chance at the spoils. A vigorous overhauling of the Justice court expense and a liberal nse of the pruning knife would be a reminder to -aome of our careles justices to be more care - iul to investigate the cases brought before them, and thus save the loss of prospective fee. That party politics should be kept out of the forthcoming city election baa been -clearly indicated by all of the best citizens of Oregon City, regardles of party affilia tion. Tbey realize that the time ha come The following from the Medical Sentinel, published in Pojtlaml, and one of the ablest medical magazines in the United States, is a clear statement of the spirit and workings of the state medical law: In spite of the trouble to which the medi cal profession of this state has been, to get a medical law passed governing the practice of medicine in Oregon, and just as w e were not only congratulating ourselves, but were also being congratulated bv others, it looks, in the light ot recent events, as if our law was going to prove inoperative. We are in formed tbat recently a Chinaman who was practicing without a license in this city was arrested and tried three times before he could be convicted, and then only paid bis fine of fifty dollars because it was the cheap est way out of it for himself. Again, just recently, a physician was arrested here for having practiced in Salem without being duly licensed; lie was taken to Salem, tried and acquitted by the jury. This is rather discouraging. The trouble seems to be to make the laity understand that all laws reg ulating the practice of medicine, are for the protection of the people, and not for the protection of physicians, and that the only method by which this can be done, is by a system of registration depending on the qualifications of the individual, which can only be determined by his examination. Any reputable physician ought not to ob ject to having bis ability put to the test, before he is allowed to start in practice in a community, and to this fact the people ought to be educated. The law as it now stands is a good one, and, if it can only be enforced, it must tend to elevate the stand ard of medical practice in this state, which is of the greatest advantage to the commu nity at large. The 8tate Medical Society, representing the profession of the state, should use every endeavor to have this law enforced, or, if it is defective or unconstitutional, as has been claimed, it should be remedied or amended in such a way that it can be applied to the purpose for which it was originally framed. An honest, able, well-qualified practi tioner is a valuable member to the com munity in which he lives, while an Ignorant, unscrupulous man practicing medicine only for what he can get out of the people by de ceil and by trading on their credulity is a serious menace to the general welfare; and while education and honesty do not always go band In band, yet it is fair to suppose that be who has devoted himself seriously to the study of bis profession by hard wark, is the one who will possess the most hon esty of purpose In its practice. This is ex actly what a state medical law is for, in the first place, to give a license to those who show themselves qualified so far a their knowledge is concerned ; and in the second place to revoke the license of any who may bave shown themselves unworthy of the trust reposed In them. Every licensed practitioner in the state- as an Individual, and tbe State Medical So, ciety, as a body, should bring all their in fluence to bear on having tbe law complied wltb, or els find out the reason why it i not. Mayor l'lngree' potato farms on the va cant lots of 1'etroit, Michigan, have been more prosperous this year than even last yielding (SO.OOO bushels of potatoes and $10, 000 worth of other prod nets. The saving to the poor department will amount tosome IJO.txx). IMd you ever hear of a man trying to lift an unfortunate woman when she falls from the high pedestal of honor and virtue? I think not. When once she trips and lulls from the high and honored position she lands in hell, from which no human hand will stoop to lift her out. Husband and father, brother and sou alike are deaf to her agonizing cries lor mercy and thrust her trom their sight. Hut on the other hand I have seen men fall an low as it Is possilde for men to fall, I have seen the wile follow the husband from the gutter and press him to her heart. I have seen the wife follow the husband through this life in one constant whirl of misery, and when by the gates of hell they were sepa rated, weep because she could go no fur ther. I have seen the mother follow the son and the sister the brother through J paths that man has never been known t i follow woman. Let the angels in heaven be the jury and God Almighty be the Judge.

The suffrage clause to be inserted in the new constitution of South Carolinna pro vides that the voter must be one " who can read a section of the constitution to th sat isfaction of tbe ollicers of the election, or whe can explain said section when read to biai to the satisfaction of said officer.-' Registration officers will thus decide who shall vote, and a black cltizzeu might read a clause like a Garrirk and expound It like a Webster without satisfying those whose chiel business is to draw tbe color line.

To thi Eihtor: The article in another column of this P'.per, copied from tbe Med ical Sentinel, sets forth in able terms the situation of tbe medical law and the difll cult task of maintaining Inviolate a law de signed exp.-essiy lor the protection of the people from charlatans and quacks. The peo ple who suffer the least when confidence men masquerading as doctors are reputabl physicians. It is only the people who are directly bled, and indirectly honest trade men and merchants who possibly must wait a little longer for his just dues until the unfortunate dupe has time to "catch up" with his depleted cash. Tbe fault lies not altogether with the peo ple. The medical law is not exacting or hard to comply with. Any student of or dinary ability, baring taken sufficient time to study, and having acquired a reasonable knowledge of medicine in any school or col lege nevoteu to medical education, can easily pass the examination and obtain certificate to practice under the laws of this state; but it is the ignorant charlatan or quack, knowing he has not the requisite knowledge to pass such examination, who endeavors by trick and technicalities to dodge the law and evade its punishment. The legal profession is protected by the axamination of the supreme court, and it Is impossible to practice in the courts without having successfully passed that tribunal yei wnen some itinerant rascal, with more money than brains, wishes to enter the medical profession by the cellar stairs like a thief in the night, he has little trouble in finding some lawyer who for a fee will assist him to doit. Our lawyer friends always fall back on tbe old excuse of " a man is in nocent until proved guilty;" nevertheless how weak is that excuse and how great the pity that even lawyers cannot or will not manifest a Itttle more sympathy for brother profession and not be quite so anx ious to smash well-Intended law. Tbe man who runs a "shell game ' with a gold brick or " green goods" to some gul lible hayseed is more of a man and lens de serving of public censure than the cunning, smooth-tongued rascal who abuses the con fidence ol those who are, or who think they are sick, and robs them by magnifying their real or Imaginary disorders.
