MONEY WASTED ON STREETS
With the- improvement of several
streets on the hill with macadam, it
is "to be hoped that Oregon City has
seen the last of this sort of improve
ment, with the exception of isolated
instances, where fills are necessary
and hard-surface streets are inadvis
able. At the last meeting of the council
advertisements for proposals were or
dered for the hard surfacing of Main
street from Moss street to the Aber
nethy and the wheels of municipal leg
islation were set in motion for the im
provement of Seventh street, with
either macadam or a hard surface ma
terial. We predict that the completion of
the ' North end of Main street with
hard surface will mark the practical
end of macadam streets here. Macad
am is, to a very considerable degree,
money wasted, for the repair bill of
the city is a heavy item, and it should
not be forgotten by the property own
ers that they-have to bear the burden
of the repairs, for, while the money
comes out of the permanent street im
provement fund of the city's treasury,
it finds its way into this fund direct
from the pockets of the property own
ers. Time was when the city paid one
third of the cost of all improvements,
but before the street improvements to
the property subject to improvement,
we were told that the levy for the per
manent street improvement . fund
Spirit of Unrest Is Sign
of Progress
By the Right Rev. CHARLES S. BURCH. Suffragan Bishop of New York
CUTS spirit of unrest which prevails at present is not confined
to the United States. The drift toward upheaval exists in
China and Mexico, in England and many great European
countries, in North Africa, in India and Asia Minor and the
South American republics.
. But it is merely the discontent and restlessness which stands at
the BASE OF ALL TRUE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, which
is based on dissatisfaction.. Unrest is the DIVINE WAY TO VI
TAL GROWTH AND ACHIEVEMENT. -
"Divine discontent" is one of the world's most meaningful phrases.
Man has for good reason been given the capacity for almost UNLIM
ITED DISCONTENT. ' - ' -
These outreachings of the soul become the greatest dynamic of hi.1
lifa in its higher aspects. Dissatisfaction with the existing order ha
Ibeen the means by which wrongs have been righted and PROGRESS
''ATTAINED ever since the dawn of history.
would be materially reduced. Such
has not been the case. The levy has
remained stationery, largely for the
reason that the city has been obliged
to expend huge sums of money for
needed repairs to old macadam streets
that have a short life.
Other Oregon towns" are pointing
the way. While our streets are in a
much better condition than theywere
three years ago it will only be a little
while until the city will have to spend
its money to keep up the streets that
have beent macadamized in recen
years.
Hard surfaced streets are a perma
nent improvement, and they are a
beautiful improvement as well. They
add much to the appearance of the city
and they enhance the value of prop
erty wherever they are laid down.
Oergon City is rapidly getting out
of its old rut and is taking its right
ful place with other live cities of the
Northwest. Now let us take a long
step forward, and insist that our.
streets shall be as good as our sister
towns in the Willamette Valley.
' The property owners of Seventh
street have had their lesson, and it
would be wisdom on their part to lose
sight of the first cost and look only
to the ultimate cost and the corres
ponding benefit to their property and
to their section of Oregon City.
SINGLE TAX AND SOCIALISM
Single Tax and Socialism go hand
in hand and as their followers be
come more fanatical they often be
come anarchists. The flag of Amer
ica, the stars and stripes, we all love
and stand ready to protect, if neces
sary, with our lives, stand for none of
the foolhardy claims of the single tax
ers, the Socialists or the blood red
symbol of the anarchists.
Oregon laws have been for the past
ten years gradually riddled by our stlf
styled Socialist who thinks he is do
ing more good under the flag of the
Republican party and while we still
stand in the prosperity class our in
dustrial progress has not been any
where near what it should be and
would have been had W. S. U'Ren and
his lieutenants kept their hands off
and stayed with the Socialists under
the flag of the Socialist party as the
Journal sometime ago quoted W. S.
U'Ren as saying of himself. The only
fine which can probably be lawfully
imposed for the improper use of the
Republican flag is that the people can
shows by their votes that they are not
in accord with the principles of their
self-appointed leader a prophet, one
apt to lead the state into the wilder
ness instead of into the promised land
Single Tax or any of its near broth
ers as outlined for the coming election
will drive away what we now have to
aid and practically pay our taxes,
thus leaving in the end the whole bur
den of carrying a bankrupt state on
the people whom W. S. U'Ren is try
ing to make believe he is their Moses.
The people of Canemah, Oregon
City, Gladstone and Jennings Lodge
fail to see wherein the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company has
made any changes in the rates effect
ive between station and Portland
as talked of at the various conferen
ces of their officials and the commit
tees of the four commercial clubs, un
der the combined name of the Fair
Fares Committee. Delays are costly

and if we are to get anything why

W. S. U'Ren uses a. quarter of a col
umn in The Oregonian to explain his
sensational stunt of last Sunday night
at the Chautauqua grounds, but he
makes a very lame explanation. U'Ren
talks about the "sins of mismanage
ment and discourtesy" of Secretary
Cross, who has worked his head off
in the interest of the Willamette Valley-
Chautauqua Assembly for 20 years,
while U'Ren has been urging the peo
ple of Oregon to enact laws that might
open a way for his crippled child, dub
bed "Single Tax." It would seem that
one Chris Schuebel, a member of the
Board of Directors of the Chautauqua
would either curb his law partner's
impatience or resign from the direct
orate. t Josh and Saman-

Parade
U1U Jtt Ult LIU
Well, Josh an I got home all right,
Tho' the trip seemed rather long;
I 'spoose some couldn't stood it,
But we're both pretty strong,
We drove to Oregon City
From our farm out Beaver Creek
way,
Took the covered cars to Portland,
an got back home in a day!
But law! it was worth the trouble
To see that big parade
The floats, an the thousands marchin
A fine appearance they made!
Josh clean f ergot he had growed up,
An tho't that he wuz a boy
A sittin' out on the gate post,
An hollerin' fer pure joy.
When marchin Elks grew thirsty
Some folks passed bottles of beer
Wuz water so scare in Portland
Good water, cold and clear?
But Josh an I had cause to be proud
Of our Oregon City boys;
They marched right along like sold
iers No breaking ranks, no noise!
They must have been tired an thirsty
On their five mile march that day,
But not one of 'em drank a glass of
beer
Or smoked anything on the way! '
An' in their nice new uniforms -
You're right they all looked fine!
But here comes Josh with the milk to

I'll tell you more next time.
POLICE CALLED
AIDES OF CRIME
(Continued from page 1)
one unjustly to attack this body in
general on account of the alleged
wrong doing of a few.
"In the investigation of the actions
of the police in connection with the
gambling situation, an investigation
should also be made by the courts
and the district attorney, who could
stop gambling if they desired by up
holding the police and sending con
victed gamblers to jail, instead of let
ting them go free on suspened sen
tences." The letter ridiculed some of the
charges against the police, but did not
deny that some of the members of the
police department might be guilty.
A new feature of the Rosenthal mur
der was developed today when a mys
terious woman, dressed in green, in
formed District Attorny Whitman that
she had seen a touring car similar to
that used by the slayers of Rosenthal
standing in front of the home of Po
lice Lieutenant Becker's from 6
o'clock until 9 on the night before Ros
enthal was slain.
The woman then went to the coron
er's office where she identified the car
used by the murderers as the one she
had seen standing in front of Lieuten
ant Becker's home.

Cuba's Insurrection and Two
Of the Means of Checking It
Photos by American Press Association.
NCE again ,the United States government has been obliged .to make
preparations to "keep the lid on" in Cuba and has dispatched a strong
squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Osterhaus, with the
armored cruiser Washington as his flagship, to land marines at Guan-
tanamo and to take such steps as may be necessary to safeguard American
interests. Under the provisions of the Piatt amendment the United States
has "the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence and for
the maintenance of a government, able to protect life, property and individual
liberty." The Cuban government has protested its ability to put down the
negro insurrection with its regular and volunteer forces, which include many
of the men who fought against the Spaniards in the war of liberation. The
Washington is shown in the upper photograph, a detachment of the regulars
in the lower.

"THEY PINCHED MARY GARDEN
FOR LESS THAN THAT"
In an article on baseball "fans" in
the August American Magazine, Hugh
S. Fullerton tells the following story:
"One of the quickest things I ever
heard was a remark from a Washing
ton fan which upset Frank Isbell, the
veteran, completely. IsbelPs head is
as bald as a concrete pavement and
usually he kept his cap plastered
tightly on his head to shield himself
from the gibes of crowds. This time
he tried to steal second and made a
desperate, diving slide around and
under the baseman only to be called
out. He was so enraged that he ran
at the umpire, grasped his arm, ar
gued and raved and finally in sheer
anger, jerked off his cap, hurled it on
to the ground and jumped upon it.
His bald. head glistened in the sun
light and the crowd roared. Then,
above the roar came a voice:
"Put on that cap. They pinched
Mary Garden here for less than that"
