ADMINITSRATIVE ECONOMY.
Few counties In Oregon are as
economically managed as Clackamas.
While the large area of this county
compels a heavy expenditure for roads
and bridges, the general expenses are
kept down to the minimum and com
parison with eight other counties in
the state shows that Clackamas has
an administration that looks after the
corners.
The disbursements for general pur
poses In 1907 were $35,179.61. In
Lane, with about the same population
the cos. was $71,153.11, and In Uniatil
la, where the population Is about equal
to Clackamas, $S0,45G.Ol was expend
ed. Marion is only a little larger than
Clackamas, yet her expenses in 190
totaled $64,239.75, and Washington
whose population is not equal to that
of this- county, has a record of $39,
180. The contrast is noticeable, how
ever with Columbia, with one-half of
the people of Clackamas. Columbia
County expended $39,02S.27, and Mal
heur's disbursements amouuted to
$56,444.55, though it has only one-
fourth of the population of Clackamas,
Douglas has a less number of people,
yet there was expended $52,956.25, and
in Polk, with one-third less population
the cost of operation, exclusive of
highways, was $37,153.58.
These figures are especially gratify
log and the members of the county
court are to be congratulated on their
showing. The policy of constructing
permanent roads and good bridges will
In time show a decrease In these Items
Of cost, for the burden of repair to
roads In Clackamas is no small one.
The people demand economy from
their chosen officers, who, perhaps,
sometimes find It hard to resist the
continued demand for money for
roads, when the roads may be called
a necessity.
CRIME AND THE YOUNG.
Hardly a week passes In which the
attention of the reading public is call
ed to the delinquency of minors in
the Juvenile Court We find scores,
reaching into the hundreds, of child
ren, abominately governed, or worse
still, allowed to roam at their own
sweet wills, without government. They
commit all kinds of youthful pranks,
and their escapades frequently develop
into crime, when they are hailed to
appear, with bowed head3, and shamed
faced into the Juvenile Court, where
they are dealt with mercifully and
justly.
Much has been said and more has
been written about the responsibility
of parents for their children, but the
problem seems to grow greater with
passing years. We are proud to ac
knowledge the growth of our civiliza
tion, but with this progress we must
be compelled to admit that obedience
of children to their parents cannot be
one of our boasts.
Of course there is a reason for this
condition, or, it would be better to
say there are reasons. Some of them
apply to specific cases, and In twenty
Instances we may find as many rea
sons for deplorable conditions, but
the principal cause is not far to seek.
Parental responsibility is a grave
danger and is fraught with terrible
possibilities. Young children are out
late at nights in the towns and su
burbs. Do their parents know just
where they are and what they are
doing? Are the little ones compelled
to give a strict account of their go
ings and comings? Are their morals
and associates carefully watched?
The growth of crime in this coun
try, keeping pace with out civilization,
is abnormal. For centuries it was
kept away from the youth, but It has
reached out, and not only boys, but

girls are Involved. It follows that
youthful criminals produce adult crim
Inula, and the end is Iho penitentiary
and the rope.
It Is Just as well to think about
those things, and seek a roniody, be
fore they go too far. Crime breeds
and thrives.
LABOR AND THE PARTY.
We come now to the question of la
bor. One Important phase of the poli
cies (if the present administration has
been an anxiety to secure for the
wago earner an equality of opportun
ity and such positive statutory protec
tion as shall place him on a level in
dealing with his employer. The He-
publican party has passed an employ
er's liability act for interstate rail
roads, and has established an eight
hour law for government employes
and on government construction. Tho
essence of the reform effected by the
former Is the abolition of tho fellow
servant rule, and the introduction of
the comparative negligence theory by
which an employe injured in tho ser
vice of his employer does not lose all
his right because of slight negligence
on his part. Then there is the act
provldiug for compensation for iti'
jury to government employes, together
with the various statutes requiring
safety appliances upon interstate com
merce railroads for the protection of
their employes, and limiting the hours
of their employment. These are all
instances of the desire of the Republi
can party to do justice to the wage
earner. Doubtless a more comprehen
sive measure for compensation of
government employes will be adopted
In the future; the principle in such
cases has been recognized, and In the
necessarily somewhat slow course of
legislation will be more fully embod
ied in definite statutes.
The interests of the employer and
the employe never differ except when
it comes to a division of the joint
profit of labor and capital into divi
dends and wages. This must be a
constant source of periodical discus
sion between the employer and the
employee, as indeed are the other
terms of the employment
To give to employes their proper
position in such a controversy, to en
able them to maintain themselves
against employers having great capi
tal, they may well unite, because in
union there is strength and without it
each individual laborer and employe
would be helpless. The promotion of
industrial peace through the instru
mentality of the trade agreement Is
often one of the results of such union
when intelligently conducted.
There is a large body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who
are not organized into unions. Their
rights before the law are exactly the
same as those of the union man, and
are to be protected with the same
care and watchfulness. From Taft's
speech of acceptance.
A
Mistaken
Idea
Some people have an idea
that in order to have a bank
account they must have a
large sum to deposit; that
the bank does not, care to
be bothered by small ac
counts. This, however, is not true
of the Bank of Oregon City
whi.h welcomes new ac
counts, whether of $1.00, or
$1000, and the same courtesy
and service is accorded the
small depositor as those in
more fortunate circumstan
ces. It Is our object and wish
to serve the public In finan
cial matters In a manner
that shall be satisfactory to
all old or young, rich
poor.

RUTH BRIGHTBILL MISSING.
Frantic Parents Spend Half the Night
In Search of 18-Year-old Girl.
Ruth Brightbill was missing Mon
day night and her parents were fraiv
tic with anxiety until Tuesday morn
Ing when Mrs. Brightbill and Miss
Marybelle Meldrum went to Portland
to assist In the search of the missing
girl. Miss Mrlghtblll. who Is about IS
years of age, is the oldest daughter of
Henry P. Mrlghtblll, a grocer at 503
Main street. She taught school In
Eastern Clackamas last Spring, but
has been home for several months
Monday she went to Portland to see
a physician, who was treating her for
throat trouble, and did not return
home that evening so her father went
to Portland and notified the police, but
they were unable to give him any ma
terlal assistance.
"I do not think Ruth has come to
any harm." said Mr. Mrlghtblll Tues
day morning, "but Bhe has probably
met some friend of hers and stayed
all night In Portland. I am certain
that she would be particular to Inform
us but It Is very possible that she sent
word up here by some one who fail
ed to deliver the message.
Miss Brightbill was found Tuesday
As supposed by her parents, she met
some friends and spent the night and
sent word to her people by a man who
was going to Oregon City. This man,
however, did not arrive here until
midnight and nothing was heard from
him until Tuesday morning.
School Is Enlarged.
The Mount Pleasant School Board
of Directors met at the Bchool house
Tuesday night and transacted busi
ness pertaining to the opening of the
school. Heretofore only one room of
the building has been used for the
studies, and one teacher, but owing
to the increased number of children
attending the last year, it was decid
ed by the board to furnish another
room, and employ an extra teacner.
individual desks have been Durchas-
ed by the district, and the room will
be supplied with necessary furniture.
Miss Muriel Watklns, of isew torn,
has accepted the position as principal,
and Miss Mabel Smith, of Eugene,
will have charge of the primary
grades. The school term will begin
Monday, September 14.

The prospects for a largo crop of

which will bring them $2250. There
Is a little money In lions at this figure.
