GOOD FOR The Oak Grove Road
OAK GROVE District is to be com
mended for its far
seeing policy in securing good roads.
More money is wasted by temporarily
patching up year by year, than would
build a road if properly expended.
Oak Grove intends to forge ahead,
and is taking the right way to do it,
by its recent approval of ten mill tax,
which is expected to yield at least
ten thofisand dollars to be spent on
improved roads.

By ROSE PASTOR. STOKES.

Millionaire Socialist
T seems WELL NIGH IMPOSSIBLE TO REFORM THE
JL
VAGRANT RICH1"
The church may find
i, reform. His unearned profits are not thereby affected.
Onefaith may look as good to him as another. He may FOLLOW
ANt PROrilKT WHO WON'T INTERFERE WITH HIS
PROFIT. .
Were it to become a question of choice between prophets and
profits' you may trust -the rirh man To choose the latter every time.
Yes; the fhurc-h may find the rich man an easy subject for re
form, so far as religion in its narrow, average, ordinary meaning is
concerned. Whv, the whole world could reform the rich man if
the process DIDN'T INVOLVE HIS UNEARNED INCOME.
Just let any one try to reform the rich in ways that would involve
the necessity of even so little as turning his evergreen dividend into
deciduous dollars and he'll learn that they'd rather die than yield to
reform.
Why is it sot Ask why it has been so in all the ages; why those
not toiling, but living on the toil of others, have refused to reform
in this one particular; why in the past the toilers. DRIVEN TO
SEEK REFORM by hunger and want and overwork, were impelled
to revolution through the UNREFORM ABILITY OF THE RICH.
THE RICH ARE VAGRANTS. STATISTICAL DATA ON THE TERRI
TORY BOTH BY SEA AND LAND THAT THE RICH COVER IN A
YEAR WOULD BE ILLUMINATING READING. THEY ARE EVER ON
THE WING. WHY SHOW-DNT THEY BE7 THERE IS NOTHING TO
TIE THEM DOWN TO ANY ONE SPOT OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE. .
Industry gets along altogether without them, and since the indus
trious pay their enormous tolls to the unproductive rich and the far
thest corners of the earth are open to them that have the price WHY
SHOULDN'T THEY BE VAGRANT? Why, they couldn't be ex
pected to be anything else. .

scrap of history from an old country
Italian perio'dical, usefully reminding
us that the Balkan war began centur
ies ago. - In the state archives at
Vienna is the declaration of war sent
by Sultan Mohamet IV of Turkey to
Emperor Leopold of Austria in 1682.
"Be it known to you, the heir of the
Caesars, to the King of Poland, and
to your allies, that Mohamet, the glor
ious and omnipotent Emperor of the
East and the West, is on the point
of invading your paltry - territories.
We shall bring 1,3000,000 soldiers, on
horse and foot, to crush you utterly
and' lay waste your domains. We
command you to await our coming in
your residence in Vienna, where It is
our intention to have you beheaded."
This politely modest letter, the gentle
Turk promptly proceeded to make
good, as some of the bloodiest pages
of Austrian and Hungarian history
amply testify.

and after passing through a furious
air-blast it is tossed .out as fluffy white

A RANK
INJUSTICE
A pedagogue originally
was a slave who .'walk
ed' with the children, to
school. Naturally, he did not get
much for the job. Poor scholarship
has tacked the word 'Pedagogue' on
to the teacher himself, which perhaps
is the reason why teaching, is the
poorest rewarded profession In Amer
ica. Salaries of teachers are every
where lower than the tremendous im
portance of their work demands, but
it is left to Clackamas County to dis
cover the irreducible minimum, at
least as far as the County Superin
tendent is concerned. Imagine a
man whose school, college, and. uni
versity training to fit bim for his work
has taken some of .the most valuable
years of early manhood, and thous
ands of dollars,- being paid the miser
able pittance of vone thousand dollars
for twelve months work! Had he
been a plumber or brick mason, he
could have earned twice as much,
with little or no initial outlay in time
or' money. Yet we have the gall to
expect him to be full of enthusiasm,
energy, and knowledge, keeping
abreast of the times, and giving us the
best of modern methods.
Let it be put to the credit of the
Teachers' Institute lately in session
here, that the teachers at least realize
the shabbyness of the situation, for
they unanimously recommended that
! the salary of the County Superinten-
! dent be made at least $1600 per an-.
! num. In our opinion it should be at
least $1800. Clackamas is one of the
j biggest counties in the state, and
ranks third in population, yet ours is
i one of the lowest salaried superinten-
dents of all. Scarcely a city super
I intendent of schools anywhere that
does not fare better. The last legis
lature had a glimmering that some
thing was wrong, and appointed three
school supervisors, giving them $1000
for ten months' work. The County
Superintendent under whom they
work, and who is responsible for them,
receives a we have already pointed
out, the princely revenue of $1000 for
twelve months' work, so that even his
own assistants are better paid. Isn't
it time .something was done about it?

A CABINET A -Democrat com-
FACE READER temporary
feels certain that
Mr. Wilson will select his own cabinet
It reosans that "The man who can
look at the facial contours of Wood
row Wilson and then try to make-his
cabinet for him has a mighty poor ap
preciation of the value of his own
time." Physiognomy is an interesting
science- but the Democratic party
may not be one of its expert inter
preters. In fifty years it has had
but one president, and his facial con
tours failed to keep him jn satisfac
tory relations with his party or with
the prosperity of . the country. Mr
Cleveland had a firm set jaw and gen
eral squareness of visage. He was
altogether too obstinate for the party
on the honest value of a dollar. The
partly dropped him, facial contours
and ' all, on the silver question and
tariff pledges, the main issues at the
time. Yet there are many who have
some inkling of Labater, as well as
native powers of observation, who
would call the Cleveland profile and
front face more promising than those
of the president-elect. .v -
Mr. Wilson has an ample chinVith
jaws to correspond, a nose sufficiently
pronounced if not Wellingtonian, and
small eyes that twinkle with a cryptic
smile when he shakes hands with en
thusiastic callers. His teeth are on a
condense curve, but full in number,
and no doubt of average power when
they . snap. Col. Watterson looked
him over last spring and said he
would never do. But the colonel is
not infallible. He declared that Mr.
Bryan would, never do in 1896 and
Shouted for him in 1900. But Demo
cratic politics Is queer. ' ,Mr. Bryan
was defeated every time, although ev
ery time his vote was much larger
than Wilson's. Where is the line of
luck in the facial map? Mr. Bryan
has the widest smile and endowment
of cheek. His tenacity of purpose is
beyond dispute, . If he fails three

WHO'S WHO IN Sir Edward Grey's
PANAMA? " ' official . commun
; . ' .J ication of . the
British protest of . proposed Panama
Canal regulatlno and V control has
reached .Washington' and been taken
u!p in '"council caDinet.. ; No decision
was reached in , the cabinet meeting,
the paper being referred to Secretary
of the State Knox, who is to prepare
a formal answer which will be made
the subject' of cabinet consideration
Washington dispatches say, that the
tone of Secretary Knox's reply will
be as. pacific as is that of the British
protest. Tne fact is hardly worth
stating,' since it can go without the
saying that a belligerent exchange of
opinions is not warranted in the dis
cussion of a question which, however
diverging may. be the points of view
from which It is seen by the partici
pants, can never result, in beligerent
action. '
The point of view in this case jper
tainly diverge widely. The protest is
against the action of the United States
Government which will admit the pas
sage, through the canal, freedf tolls,
of vessels engaged in our, f Atlantic;
and Pacific coastwide trade,' The
British minister makes an excellent
use J of poor material. Predicating
his entire case upon the assumption
that discrimination in the laying of
tolls Is expressly provided against in
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of a ' few'
years prior to our acquirement of
sovereignity in the canal zone, he
proceeds to reason that to levy tolls
upon commerce passing through the
canal In all foreien shins, while leav
ing vessels plying in the coastwide j
trade of the United States to pass
free, would be to place the cost of
building the canal, and of its main
tance, upon foreigners. What we
gather from Sir Edward's contention!
on this point that he thiriks the ac
cumulating tolla levied upon foreign
commerce using the canal would, in
time, equal the entire Interest and
sinking funds of the debt. Since the
Good Idea
debt and the interest must be paid and
our government has not only made
itself responsible for the payment but
has done all of the work, that conten
tion is tantamount to one :that, in
financial enterprises, for theis shares,
are entitled to no guarantees not en
joyed by the holders of common
stock coming in at a much lower
price. It would first put mort
gage bondholders on a par with
the holders of debenture bonds.
Acknowledging the ' , debt and the
necessity 'of payment, , the pith
of the British position is that those
who have created the tangible pro
perty from the proceeds of the debt,
and are charged with its administra
tion, shall have no compensating ad
vantages for their greater burdens
and responsibilities. r
This new and rather strange idea
Is worth a closer analysis. The pro
test of the foreigners against building
the canal, and carrying its Interest
charges, made by Sir Edward Grey,
estops them equitably, from protest
ing against the management of the
property by others who have assum
ed all the risks and brought success
out of the failurea of such- foreigners
as had once undertaken the task. It
can1 be said, further, that since there
was no obligation upon foreigners to
build the canai, neither is there any
obligation upon. them to use it.- That
they will not use it unless they find
its profitable to them is as plain as
the various tricks and devices through
which, Sir Edward Grey says, the
discriminatory tolls regulations could
be- avoided." There is no question
for wbmission to The Hague Tribun
al, which Sir Edward names as a last
resort, unless it might be the inter
pretation of the 'Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, which we. have a right to In
terpret for ourselves according" to the
dictates of equity and sense, and in
pursuance of many - precedents , in
English history. . ..
, The Morning Enterprise is of the
opinion - that policemen who are
worthy of being kept on "the force"
should be accorded the provileges of
Oregon City policemen. One of these
is an annual vacation. .

One man, a blacksmith, was serious
ly injured in a ' runaway on Main
Street Wednesday afternoon. George
McGregor, the blacksmith, was driving
past the Masonic Temple building
when his . horse became frightened,
and swerving, the buggy crashed into
the vehicle of Mrs. James McGUlican.
Mrs. McMillican and her son were
thrown out of the vehicle, but luckily
neither of them was hurt. The Mc
Gregor horse kept on his mad way
until he reached the Barlow Grocery
store when It was stopped by Ralph
Murphy, engineer of the Steamej
Ruth. Mr. Mujrphy risked his life in
stopping the runaway. Soon after his
brilliant achievement the horse broke
away and ran to a livery stable - on
Water Street. McGregor sustained a
fracture of the nose which was given
attention by Dr. M. C .Strickland; He
was. taken to the physician's office by
Policeman Green.
