FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER
CLEAN MEN WANTED.
The visit to Portland last week of
Hon. Jos. Folk, the reform governor
of Missouri, was an event of more than
passing Interest. Infrequently have
men in public life in modem times,
at any rate, risen to the prominence
that has been attained by Mr. Folk.
The success of this Missourian. then,
is not without some reason.
Corruption In Missouri state poli
tics, under Democratic mis-admlnls-tration.
had reached such a state as
to become distasteful even to a major
ity of the Democrats themselves who
dethroned the 'corruptionists at the
last state election, and. with the ex
ception of Governor, elected Repub
licans to office. Governor Folk, him
self, would have gone down before
the public wrath along with his asso
ciates on the Democratic ticket but for
the fact that he had denounced the
crookedness that had been practiced
and openly declared for a new deal
In the popular government of that
state.
The succesful issue of the election
of Gov. Folk, alone of the Democrats,
Is significant It demonstrates that the
people, irrespective of party affilia
tions, have tired of the corrupt meth
ods that obtain generally in the
administration of public affairs and
are more disposed to vote for the man
of whom something Is to be expected
in the interest of the common people
as allied against corporation greed and
avarice. What is true in this re
spect in Missouri has found expres
sion along similar lines in the honors
that have been conferred upon Gov
ernor LaFollett, of Wisconsin, and
Governor Deenen, of Illinois, as well
as Jerome, of New York City, while
Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, has
harkened to the ear of public senti
ment and has put a damper on the op
erations of the grasping corporation
ists that have so long operated suc
cessfully in that city.
Public sentiment is patient and long
suffering, but it has a limit. It has been
tried to its limit in many instances
and revulsions have followed that
were surprising. It should serve as
a warning to men in public life in our
own state as well as county and city.
The time when rottenness in the ad
ministration of public taffairs will be
tolerated, has passed and officers in
charge of public matters are being
held more strictly accountable for
their stewardship. Clean, honorable
men, of whom some good may be
counted upon, must be named to serve
the people in official capacities, or
the consequences suffered.

Clackamas against all comers! At

cleaner, fresher, and more up-to-date
and the careful buyers flock there.
In every community it Is the care
ful and persistent advertiser who
works up the new business and con
stantly Increases the old. People read
papers more than some merchants
suppose, and It Is the advertiser who
displays his timely bargains that reaps
the trade of those seeking the best.
It Is true that there Is a small n.-r cent
h of buyers who never change their
dealer, and the merchant who first
gains this class Is assured of their
trade. The newcomer glances at the
columns of the local paper before he
decides upon a source of supply and
the ad which appeals to him the most
will secure a patron.
The success of the grU mall order
houses has been in so wording their
ads that tho reader realizes precise
ly what the gixnis are. Those ads are
written la a manner that appeals; the
articles are carefully described In
words which would be used if a sals
man was showing the goods; and In
every way the description Is complete.
And the man who wishes an article
of that sort or half wishes he had It
he sends for It. He buys It. He
intended later perhaps to secure It
but the impression made by the ad
was good and accomplished Its pur
pose. Ical ads may be made to serve the
same purpose. All It requires Is space
In the paper and a desire on the part
of the merchant to do business. St.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
There is before the Oregon City
Council a franchise ordinance of great
Importance. It proposes giving for a
term of 35 years to the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company a fran
chise to Main street for the operation
of freight and passenger cars. In re
turn for the franchise, company agrees
to pay an annual license, the aggre
gate of which for the 35 years will be
$59,500. The ordinance was read for
the first time at a special meeting of
the Council Monday night and will
probably be taken up for final consid
eration at the regular meeting of the
Council on Wednesday evening, Oc
tober 4.
This is an important matter to Ore
gon City. It should be given a care
ful consideration and the best Inter
ests of both parties to the contract
served.
As an agency for the development
of the county, it is a recognized fact
that the O. W. P. Co., has done won
ders and there is every indication that
this work is to be continued on a more
extended scale, it is probably true
that the ventures thus far made by
this corporation have not proven a
disappointment in the way of an in
vestment, but the growth and develop
ment of the interior of the county
hav been materially aided by the en
terprise shown by this company
which has confidence in the future
of this section. But at the same
time, the interests of the people of
Oregon City are involved and no doubt
will receive full and considerate treat
ment by the members of the Council
in disposing of the franchise.
A special election has been called
by the Council to be held Saturday,
September 30, when the question will
be passed upon by the people them
selves. This is quite entirely proper.
On such important matters, it is right
that an expression be obtained from
the residents of the city who are di
rectly interested.

THE HOODLUM WAS THERE.
Hoodlums boys who were old
enough to know better were in evi
dence at the opera house on the open
ing night last Saturday. Incessant
Whistling and cat-calls may be all
right in a barn yard but such disturb
ances are hardly entitled to a place
on the programme at a modern play-bouse.
In attempting to be plavful. some
vapid space writer on the Sunday Or-
egonian essayed to get funny in a
short editorial in referring to the
country newspaper men. The fellow
has no respect for the dead for with
ghoulish glee dug up the ancient
pleasantry relative to the country ed
itor subsisting on pumpkins, etc., tak
en In on subscription.
This measurement of the country
press is so silly, unreasonable and out
of date that no one but a narrow bigot
tied down to some city daily could
entertain it even as a Joke. The news
paper men of the growing towns of
the state are with few exceptions
wide-awake and progressive business
men who are doing more than any one
class for the development of the coun
try. And they are not beggars. Their
bank accounts are not often plethoric
it is true, but they are back of a busi
ness or profession which Is indispen
sable to the country no less than the
Metropolitan journal. And they man
age it after business methods. Once
in a while it is true some chump who
imagines he is an editor, barters
around for sustenance, but he is only
the vanishing specimen of a past de
cade. There are necessarily certain char
acteristics of the country press just
as there are of the metropolitan. But
there are a few things the country ed
itor Is not guilty of
He does not publish a detailed ac
count of every big prize fight and then
apologize for the same in the editor
ial columns.
He does not call the solid business
men of his town "little Hilly" this
and that, and various childish names
and try to tear down their business
interests just because they don't sup
port him properly.
He doesn't spend much time trying
to pound it in his readers what won
derful success he Is having and how
after all, he is the only "it."
He doesn't run special correspond
ence by that "litterateur," Hob Kitz
simm"ns, on such edifying topics as,
"How I punched him In the slats."
He does not use his columns for the
prosecution or persecution of his per
sonal enemies.
On the other hand, if he Is a live
newspaper man, his paper is full of
the happenings and occurrences of
the community, which register its
progress and development. The coun
try newspaper is a clean, vital factor
In the up-bui!ding of the great West.
And it is so recognized.
Pumpkins and cabbage on subscrip
tion! Bosh! When the country editor
gets hungry for a piece of pumpkin
pie" like his mother used to make, he
generally gets it if his wife Is a good
cook. But he pays for It as does the
editor of the Oregonlan and doubt
less enjoys It more as his digestion Is
evidently better. Newberg Graphic.
o
WHERE TO TRADE.
THE PRIVATE DAIRY.
The firm that advertises the most
liberally is the firm that can always
offer the best bargains to the buyer.
There are some who assert that where
large advertising bills are contracted
sale prices must range higher in order
to equalize: but they who know de
clare it is directly to the opposite.
They say that the largo and careful
Contrary to what some may assert.
the private dairy Is capable of produc
ing the finest auallty of butter that It
is possible to make. Indii'd, rightly
managed, no creamery ran fully com
pete with It. The very method of
business forbids and prevents this.
With a larsje number of patrons there
cannot help but be some who are not
up to the highest standard, and as It
takes only a very little cream that Is
"off" to defile any amount, these, of
course, must fix the grade of the pro
duct. The standard Is thus Inevitably
brought down to the lowest, or. at
best, to an average one. Hence it Is
that the market value of the very best
creamery butter fluctuates with every
change In the general market, whereas
the proprietor of the Individual dairy
may have a set of customers who are
so well satisfied with what, they re
ceive that they seldom care to note the
variations In market prices, being
willing even to pay a little more as
long as they are assured of getting
the very best and having It come at
regular Intervals.
Is not such business worth striving
after? Once secured, it Is generally
permanent, and allows the dairyman
to calculate with much certainty that
his Income will no longer he depend
ing on unknown conditions, but. will
be almost as stable as any of the best
investments. The cost of making
good butter about the same year after
year, so that, he Is quite sure to de
rive a steady profit from his business,
like a regular income.
Such attainments are not arrived at,
however, by mere temimrary efforts.
Rather there must be a constant care
exercised over the work from begin
ning to end. Lessons must lie learned
and the information gained turned to
practical use. Good cows must be ob
tained; they must lie fed well, and In
caring for them the most, scrupulous
cleanliness practiced In every way.
The work must be conducted accord
ing to tho best known rules upon
which success Is based.
The nature of the milk and cream
must be studied, and every precaution
against infection by Improper feed
ing or watering carefully observed.
There must be strict management
throughout all the work, and any
faults found eliminated. Variations
of weather and temperature must lie
taken into consideration and allowed
for; otherwise it. will be impossible
to proceed, according to the seasons,
so as to maintain a constant evenness.
In brief, every feature of the practice
and science of dairying must, be learn
ed and fully mastered, and then never
departed from. The rules of nature,
it must be remembered, are Inviolable.
Like causes produce like results un
der all circumstance, whether for
good or evil. Well, the basis of all
the operations In dairying Is as com
pletely dependent on thes natural
laws as the growth of plants, the wel
fare of animals or man's own health
and comfort. To succces, therefore,
the dairyman must conform to these
natural laws in every detail. Tilla
