MOLALLA SHOWS The Molalla dis
PROPER SPIRIT trict has organized
a Commercial club, and has received
much sage advice upon how to . go
about placing itself before the public.
Mr. C. C. Chapman, of Portland, cau
tioned the embryonic boosters never
to tell a lie about their resources,
which coming from the source it did
was good advice in more ways than
one. Portland is reported not always
to have followed this axiom. Judge
Dimick told the people that it would
require more than mere boosting to
make their club a success, and in so
speaking the secretary of the Clack
amas Southern railroad hit a Dig nail
squarely on the head.
Many a Commercial club has null
ified its purpose by developing mere
ly into a personal admiration society.
It is very satisfactory for Commer
cial club members to gather together
and mutually entertain each other
with accounts of the greatness of
their district. Buch such action
does not bring results. Each mem
ber of a Commercial club must con
stitute himself a live wire . charged
with activity in many ways. He or
she must not only boost conscien
tiously and steadly, but must stand
ready at all times to put a personal
shoulder to the wheel of progress and
help it over the rough places.
With resources such as the Molalla
valley contains, members of the new
Commercial club should find plenty to
do. Not only should they see to it
Eat Goat and the Cost of TJvind
Will Decrease
By GUSTAV BISCHOFF, Prominent Packer
LTAT would be more delightful than to have the goat as a
profitable domestic animal introduced here for FOOD
AND MILK to the same extent as the cow is now
used?
I DON'T THINK WE NEED ALTOGETHER DESPAIR 'OF SOME
DAY SEEING A MENU WITH THE SUBSTANTIAL ARTICLES OF
DIET LISTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS: SHOULDER O' GOAT, LOIN
O' GOAT, BREAST O' GOAT, PRIME RIB O' GOAT, GOAT STEW, GOAT
CHOPS, GOAT NECK.
Of course I am not speaking now of the poor harassed billygoats
that once in awhile we see children driving around hitched to carts
and which are abused by every one. They are fed on tin cans and
old clothes and are not fit to make' food for us. A goat that is to be
slaughtered should be FED JUST AS WELL AS A STEER. It
is a mistake to think that a goat can thrive on(scrap iron and broken
glass. Tie may manage to live on the bark of a tree, but he will not
make a good roast afterward.
If goat meat were established on the market I think it would sell
for about eleven cents for yearlings when lamb is selling at fourteen
cents a pound. That would be a TOP PRICE FOR GOAT. In
fact, the prices of both might come dawn considerably, because any
increase we would have in the food supply would tend to BRING
ABOUT A GENERAL REDUCTION OF PRICES.

that the truth about the Molalla is
known everywhere it is possible to
spread it; but they should each one
of them, individually, make it a per
sonal matter to see that new settlers
come to the Molalla rather than else
where. Sometimes it is inconvenient
for a business man to pause in his
work, buttonhole a new arriaval or a
prospective settler, and take him out
and show him the advantages of his
own locality, and practically argue
him into locating there. But this is
what the newer idea of Commercial
club activity means in one of its as
pects; and the man who finds it in
convenient, or a bore to do this sort
of thing had better give up his active
membership in the organization.
.Molalla, happily, seems to be filled
with people who are ready and will
ing to do all that is required of them
by modern Commercial club stand
ards, and in this the community is
fortunate. The valley is a home of
workers, and not of drones, so the
outlook for its Commercial club, and
for its growth and success are bright.
For this it is to be congratulated; and
because of this the new organization
bids fair to be a success in every
way. Here's greetings to the Mo
lalla Commercial club, and to its en
ergy and enthusiasm. May progress
and success come its way, and
through it may Molalla become a bet
ter and friendlier neighbor of Oregon
City.

THE NEW POLITICS.
The new politics is not partisan;
therefore it is not partisau to talk
about it.
It has brought to all parties a new
viewpoint and outlook.
It elevates the public above the pri
vate, the universal above the special.
It emphasizes service and puts the
soft pedal on place for the sake of
place.
It attempts to apply In an everyday
way the command:
"Let him who is greatest among you
be your minister."
Minister in this sense means servant,
and servant not in seeming, but in
reality; not only in name, but in fact.
It has long beii a mot to among some
of the Indian tribes that he is richest
not who has most, but who gives most.
According to the concept of the new
politics concerning public service, this
is literally true. The man who most
gives himself to the public shall in
turn be given highest place by the
public.
The new politics is what Lincoln
said that government . should be "of
the people, for the people and by the
people."
It is an expression of the awakened
conscience of the nation.
It is a revolt against graft, bosses,
special interests and secret govern
ment It is an aspiration toward a better
republic than the world has ever
known.
It is an effort to conduct government
on business principles, with the same
bouesty, efficiency and economy with
which great private undertakings are
carried on. ,
It is the evidence of a revival of pub
lic spirit.
We have had too much back room
. government. Hereafter we are to have
! government in the front office.-
There is nothing about the conduct
of the people's affairs that the people
themselves should not know.
An employer always has free access
to his own books, always keeps track
of what his employees are doing.
In the public service the public itself
is the employer.
The new politics would conserve the
resources and safeguard the interests
of the next generations. Just as' it
would not serve a part as against the
whole, so it would uot serve today as
against tomorrow.
In a word, the new politics seeks to
live up to the motto of Henry George:
"I am for men."
