SPEWING OUT HER EVIL
The editor of the St. John's Review,
In several places In his paper last
week, urges the driving out from that
town'of all' the denizens of the places
Of infamy in St. Johns. The whole
cry Is to drive them out. not a word
of reformation or salvation of the in-
mates
We must rise to ask. where would
yon drive them? To Portland, Ore-
gon City or Salem? If to Oregon City.
we would say no, with emphasis on
the whole word. If to Portland or
Salem, the people of both those towns
would probably say no.
And do you think it would be a
Christian act to drive them to other
places?" What have other places done
that they should be burdened with the
undesirable citizens of St Johns? It
nt Tnhno hn rMr,i ,,n.i.imhi riti-
sens, or permitted those raised else
where to secure residence In St.
Johns, why begin at this late date to
unload, especially when you cannot
aid yourself In the exodus without In
jury to some one else who must re
ceive them?
But that is usually the way with re
formers; they want to benefit their
own community and do not thir,k ot,
or, thinking, do not care for, the other
fellow; or for the morals of the young
people in a place five or ten miles
away. But to us that kind of Christ
ianity lacks the essential that makes
it Christianity.
To us, one word of reform for these
people looks much better that ten
about driving them out pushing them
off on someone else who is not look
ing just at the time that you set them
adrift.
There is, in every community, cer
tain people whom the better citizens
of the community would be pleased to
see doing better. There are, too, cer
tain people whom we would not care
to have our young boys and girls as
sociate with too closely. But, In many
cases, these people are not altogether
responsible for what they are; Jn
many cases the community Itself Is
partially responsible; and, at least in
that case, It is not fair to try and kick
them off; and. In any event, it Is not
fair to try and shove off on to some
other community that which you
yourself have decided is undesirable
and you wish to be rid of.
The editor of the St. Johns Review
seems to be In need ow an allopathic
dose of practical Christianity. As a
Btarter, it might be well to vaclnate
him with virus taken from the Gold
en Rule.
No; the editor of the Enterprise has
none to spare; we are now looking
' for a competent physician to perform
the same operation on ourselve3.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS THE I
POWER.
Mr. Heney has been- talking to the
newspapers and what he has said Is ;
likely to create a sensation. He says
that the land frauds are continuing
from day to day; that as much land is
being stolen now as ever, but those
engaged In the work have become
more cautious, and are doing it on i
the si.
Mr. Heney further indicates that
the District Attorney has it in his

MAN HIS BROTHER'S KEEPER.
An exchange says that "Steady em
ployment at good wages is more than
an offset for Increased living ex
penses." The "tone" of the statement would
lead one to think that to have a job
at good wages was a thing to greatly
rejoice over; would lead one to think
that such a condition was far more
than what was normal

Much has been snld and written
about Secretary Taft as the reflector
of 'i(H)s,.elt policies," and many
',of our contemporaries have stated
25 that with Taft In the White House we
would have merely a continuance of
those policies. These statements,
while Incorrect In spirit are not so far
wrong In substance, after all, when
we consider that Mr. Taft helped, and
very largely at that, to construct these
policies. However, new days will
bring new issues and new duties tow
ard some of the old ones. For In
stance, the Philippine question will re

l'a to hs llart' and u ,ts h':
tory and at the same time he would
be an individual in his own right,
equal to whatever might arise In our
insular possessions, the far East or at
home.
The Panama Canal Is to cost $200,
000.000. At the outset It was to cost
$140,000,000. and the increase of $00,
000.000 is in line with the usual expan
sion In public appropriations. In a
mammoth undertaking like the Pana
ma Canal It is Impossible to figure to
the cent what the improvement will
cost, and the public have become so
used to an "expansion" of the appro
priation that It scarcely ever raises a
protest now; people expect it. And
that Is why great improvements are
opposed many times. If our leaders
could only learn how much happier we
would be as a Nation if we would
deal honestly one with the other, and
the Government and its officials with
ihe people, perhaps they would be wil
ling to try the experiment There Is
no reason why public works should
cost 50 to 75 per cent more than a
similar Improvement costs a private
Individual or corporation; and it is the
people who pay for the excess cost
every time, with no possible escape.
A crusade for honesty. In places high
and low, would not come amiss.
The Congressional delegates from
the Philippines reported on arrival at
San Francisco that economic condi
tions in the Islands were worse than
they had been for thirty years. This
is not a very flattering reflection on
the American policy, for it Is much
less than thirty years since the Stars
and Stripes were planted on Philip
pine soil. The overshadowing factor
in, the trouble Is the unfair discrimi
nation against Philippine sugar and to
bacco. Reduction of the duty would
prove of great benefit to the strug
K'.ins island planters and It would not
have any effect of consequence on the
business cf the American planters.
