Governor Dlx, of New York, Is In complete harmony with healthy pa triotic sentiment when be urges that vote-buying be made a felony; that Immunity be granted to the vote-sell er upon condition tbat be turn state's evidence against tbe buyer, and that a candidate convicted of corrupting the franchise shall not only forfeit bis office, but be rendered thereafter Ineligible for public office. The use of money at elections is tbe worst curse of American politics. It debases the vote-seller, disgraces the vote-buyer and debaucbes tbe foundations of our governmental life. The several political parties raise enormous sums of money for eacb election. Some of this huge fund Is paid out for legitimate expenses of a campaign, such as rental of balls, ad vertising, printing, music, and so forth. But probably ninety per cent of tbe vast amount of money collected year ly for campaign purposes gets no farther than tbe deepest recesses of tbe pockets of tbe party committee men. It is inconceivable tbat all tbis money la paid out for tbe purchase of votes. It is absurd to maintain that It would be possible to buy such a per centage of the electorate as would be represented by this pile of cash. Hence there is no dodging the fact tbat the major part of the cash is kept by the committeemen for their own personal use. It is a fact patent to all who have only casual acquaintance with political methods that a great majority of committeemen seek tbat position for tbe sole purpose of get ting their clutches on the money on election day. The use of money at elections, therefore, in addition to tainting the source of our government with cor ruption does not even serve the -purpose of its donation, for it is diverted into pockets for which it was not in tended. All parties should and would wel come a law eliminating tbe use of money at elections. It would elevate tbe standard of our political life and at tbe same time purge the party or ganizations of parasites and replace them with party workers of character and conscience. brokers have gone broke In tbe last three years because they found It so much easier to spend money thnn to make It? Mr. Canegle Qualified his opinion by using the word ''wisely," but in the present temper of tho great army of the skinned we do not believe this will save him from wrath. To the mass, It Is so much easier to spend than to make money that one raising his head from behind a wall of money bags and saying that it is not so with him Is taking his risks. Mr. Carnegie should temper his wind to tbe shorn. PENSION FOR EVANS' WIDOW. After a lifetime In tbe service of his country Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, "Fighting Dob," as his coun trymen lovetngly knew him, died a poor man. Practically all of his life, from the time of the Civil War until his death, Admiral Evans worked for his coun try In the navy and received as com pensation the few thousands allotted to his rank. He was at one time en gaged in civil pursuits but these did not prove remunerative and his activ ities in this direction did not last long. He was a fighting man, not a business man. It is true that he had opportunities to engage in question able but profitable transactions, for such chances always come with rank and power. But he held the honor of the service as dearly as his own. His death finds his widow, though not In actual want. In limited circum stances. Tbe pension of $30 a month she receives does not afford much relief and a bill is to be introduced In Congress to provide for an increas ed pension and thus make sure of comfort In the evening of her life. The enactment of the proposed bill would be tbe most practical manner in which the country could show its appreciation of the loyal and devoted service It received from Admiral Evans. REAL ESTATE MR. CARNEGIE'S MISTAKES. We must admit the truth of tbe contention that Mr. Carnegie is talk ing too much. He may find it neces sary to do so in wandering away from some unpleasantly direct questions put to him In the last few days in the investigation of the steel trust. Some times the most reticent of men, can become the most loquacious when It is necessary to divert attention from a point they are trying to conceal. But even in such emergencies a re sourceful man will be careful In his choice of words and the expression of his opinions on irrelevant subjects, all of which are being made a matter of record. Mr. Carnegie is less care ful than be might be. The other day he told of how he once "skinned" Mr. Rockefeller. That sort of thing is not as much admired in this country as it was until a fjw years ago. Too many of us have dis covered tbat we are less expert than too many others. The game has ac cordingly lost that popularity it had while every man felt himself capable of taking care of himself In an all round skinning game. He is not a wise man who now boasts himself a better expert than Mr. Rockefeller long ago condemned as far too expert. Mr. Carnegie told the committee that it is much easier to make big money than It is to spend it This seems very much like "ru'.bing It in." What will they say in Wall street where thousands of curb brokerw and floor PROBE INTO LIVING COST. A nation-wide investigation of the food supply of the United States, with special reference to Its relation to the high cost of living, has been In augurated by Commissioner of Com merce and Labor Nagel. Tbe secretary announces that the Inquiry will be the most comprehen slve ever undertaken in this country. He will send experts all over the coun try to visit fields, factories and stores in an effort to get facts that will help in solving tbe problem which so vi tally affects the American people. The Investigation is a timely one and should prove of great value. It may be able to show where the dif ference is added in price between the producer and the ultimate consumer, and it should indicate the relations of the supply and demand, which are in exorable. ' The completion of this report will be awaited with great interest, as its subject matter affects the people in the most important manner possible, WESTERN CANADA. Western Canada is developing at a remarkably rapid rate. Official fig ures showing that the population has increased 174 per cent In ten years, while the increase In Eastern Canada has been only 17 per cent In the same period. Twelve of the cities In Western Canada have doubled their population In five years, and In ten years have made a gain of 300 per cent. Brandon has advaneed from 5,620 to 13,387; Edmonton from 2,026 to 24,882; Cal gary from 4,091 to 43,736; Regina from 2,249 to 30,210; Saskatoon from 113 to 12,001; Winnipeg from 42,340 to 135,430. At Western points bank clearings increased 27 per cent, as against 11 per cent at Eastern points in five years. Railway mileage Increased last year over 1910 in Manitoba 470; in Saskatchewan, 852; in Alberta, 337; a total of 91,459. The Atlanta Constitution waxes sarcastic: "Some of them are talk ing about the constitution of the United States as it they had read it." "Thank Cod the past is secure," says Covernor Harmon. Uncle Jud is already reconciled to hl3 impend ing fate. Victor Berger says a Socialist will occupy the While House In ten years. A safe prophecy. Who'll remember it a decade hence?

At a meeting, January 19, at the James school, local conditions and general school matters were discuss ed by patrons, teacher and supervisor. There Is prospect that a four-room graded school will be established In the Swedish colony on Milk Creek, Miss Irene Moehnke briefly explained the manner In which the rural teach er must hasten with her many classes and many grades. During the first hour and a half Miss Moehnke hears eight classes recite, being able to give only ten minutes to each class, by tho conditions aa they appealed to the Railroad Commission. All changes seem to favor Portland and with one exception or two, to work to the disadvantage of Oregon City, We have Induced the Introduction of a bill In Congress to appropriate $75,000 for a federnl building at Ore gon City, and at this time there ap pears to be a prospect of obtaining such building. We have finally obtnlned a lease from the owner of the building, which has been dono after three yenrs of effort, and which Insures us this good homo for a long period. We sent thirty-five delegates to Pa tern and made the Rnst Side route of the Pacific Highway a fact Much Important work has been done and we believe. Important results ac The whole dav must be snent In the same manner. Very few classes may compllshed In pushing the matter of have as much as fifteen minutes. The the locks and the dredging of the city teacher has forty minutes for each class, and therefore the cltl child has from three to six times as much attention from his teacher as the rural pupil has from bis. The Oregon school law recommends that blackboards be extended - the entire distance around the room; but very many of the rural schools have only few feet of rough boards painted black. With such poor equipment. and other circumstances correspond ing, the teacher must struggle on and of course the children are the princi pal losers at last The people In this community, however, are awake to the need of progress and will respond. The supervisor presented the fol lowing facts: Clackamas county spends 70 cents of every $100 upon her schools. She spends 1 1-2 cents of every $100 upon supervision. The average taxpayer pays 75 cents a year for three super visors, or 25 cents apiece. This 25 cents pays for about eight visits of rapids at the mouth of the Clackamas River. Constant communication has been had with our representatives In Congress, data ohtolned and forward ed, information given these men and the United States engineers and In few words, all things we knew of have been done to gain for tho com munty and the Willamette Valley an open river and a less onerous freight charge. We have, as perhaps you all know, rearranged the Club rooms and by the change have made them much more attractive and Inviting. Such condition of attractiveness have we put our rooms Into, that visitors from a distance have expressed sincere stir- prise nt what the club affords Its members. Here has been for the year, a quant Ity of literature provided for those of literary tastes, and those seeking the world's news as well as for those who have In Life and such publics tlons desired to forgot the monotony of business or professional life by several hours each. Tobacco costs excursions Into the humorous. nearly three times as much as educa tion; Intoxicants cost over five times as much. The army and navy cost near ly as much as the schools. The per capita cost of liquor Is higher than the per capita cost of the school. Two children attend the rural school where one attends the city school; There Is organized what may be called the Terminal Association which Is endeavoring to procure terminal rates In or for our city. Prospocts are now bright for the accomplishment of the purpose of this organization Our third annual banquet was held in March at a time when the ardor therefore supervision of rural schools of too many had cooled, and, though is twice as necessary as supervision It aided In the reconstruction that I of city schools; it Is more than twice have mentioned, it was not what our as necessary, becaue the rural school next will bo. works under several disadvantages The gymnasium has been maintain that do not hinder the city school, ed during the year and many mem Supervision will enhance the value of hers have had the advantage of Its the rural school just as it enhances use.

T. Richeson's counsel have abandon ed hope of clemency for the condemn ed minister, self-confessed murderer of his discarded sweetheart, Avis Lin nell, as a result of the governor urg ing the executive council to refuse commutation to Silas Phelps, who was executed last week for tbe murder of Sheriff Haskins. Governor Foss found that seven of the nine members of the council be lieved in enforcing the electrocution law, as long as it remains on the statutes, and thousands of letters urg ing the execution of Richeson have been received by Governor Fosa. Richeson's attorneys admit that pub lic sentiment against Richeson Is too strong. They now fear be will pay the extreme penalty for his crime. reached an open determination to sell out and disband. Your officers then multiplied their efforts, and, with determination to maintain the nub. they with the assistance of most of the members have, during the past year, reconstructed the foundation of this club until now no human effort will ever avail to harm It or lessen its influence or the loyalty or enthusiasm of its members. Now we have within the completest harmony. And the community has. through the workings of the club, become more tolerant and harmonious than ever before during the long per iod of my life here. And I can now see at a time not far distant a membership of a thousand within, and a solid community with out, working with a conviction that in our county and city, as In all other themselves with the library places and matters, the greatest strength Is In union. At this time I wish to say that to me our progress and our accomplish ed results of the past year have been most satisfactory, and that this is the result of persistent labor of a set of officers as good excepting, of course, your president, who Is out of band and orchestra. We expect nev er again to hear the remarks In de rision that we have so often heard directed toward the Oregon City Band. In the line of advancement of har mony we have a smoker on June 22. Many of us were made more Inclined to devote time to the betterment of the community by the Influence of these meetings and the sentiments ex pressed In the talks made on these occasions. I believe these get-together occasions of the greatest Importance. We have assisted the Oregon City Library Association while It was yet In swaddllng-cloth, and now see it firmly founded. More than one hun dred patrons visit the library dally, and we have Just learned that ar rangements are about made to re ceive from Andrew Carnegie $12,500 to construct a building upon a per manent site.

If, then, I shall say anything that shall seem to be a criticism, do you remember that It will be given in a spirit of friendliness, and only because it happens to be my duty at this time to speak of these matters. Of the things we have done during the past year, the greatest Is that which I have heretofore spoken of infused a greater harmony into the members of this community. After that we have made such progress within as to make the club a per manent Institution which shall wield Influence for good during the rest of time. In addition to these things, we have promoted the following matters and done the following things: At a small expense to the club we have distrib uted 70,000 trout In the streams of the county; organized the Capital Highway Association, and through' It and other services promoted the cause When given as soon as the croupy cough appears Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will ward of an attack of croup and prevent all danger and cause of anxiety.

Such occasions contain possibilities of doing wholesome good that few others have. As you see, we have made a bad bil liard table Into a good pool table, and this change has already been shown to be one of wisdom. A tennis court was constructed on the public square at Seventh and John Adams streets, which has been used during every part of the time when that, mild outdoor sport could be In dulged in. Our Publicity Committee has con structed for Itself a new attractive home which has, during the latter part of the year, or since Its construc tion, contained an excellent exhibition of the products of this county and city. These and many other things have been done by the Commercial Club, and Its assistant the Live Wles and tbe Publicity Committee. Is this not alone an excellent chap ter In the history of this club? With such record made In the Immediate past I have only a few suggestions for the future. We must ever keep In mind our pri mary purposes of creating harmony and working In nnlson. Differences of opinion will necessarily occur and be expressed. But If criticism be of fered in a sincere and kindly manner, nothing can be more wholesome and advantageous. It Is tbe spirit In which It Is made and not the state ment that renders service for good or for evil . If we are ever mindful of these purposes, and particularly if the of ficers refuse to turn, whatever the provocation, from them, I can see this community at a future day a strong, united, concentrated body, every mem ber of which will appear as a por- DON'T BE MISLED.
