OF THE DAY tack upon the various
te national capita.', opens tip a subject
that in former days was much more
important, and much less understood
than at the present time. Wa-;!i legis
lation was desired say ten years ago
either from the national congress,
a state legislature or a city gov
ernment, those who desired it pro
ceedsd to "get out the sack." There
was a gathering in the little room at
. the end of the corridor on the fourth
floor of the hotel, and everybody was
"satisfied. And then maybe the legis
lation passed, and maybe it didn't.
However, those were the days be
fore the advent of the efficiency ex
pert and the press agent. In " these
days the interests behind a lobby, na
tional, state or city, take no chances
of a misdeal. They waste no money,
and there is no mysterious series of
visits to a secluded room. Things are
done in the open. The "sack" that
was formerly divided among "those
concerned" is now turned into a fund
' for the promulgation of opinion, tha
busy press agent is put to work, and
the public mind is "educated" to such
a degree that there is more or less of
popular aemana tor me aesirea legis
lation. This is a much better way for
two reasons; it is less liable to result
in prosecutions, and it is really cheap
er. .
It is surprising what a wealth of
"public opinion" can be manufactured
by a diligent purveyor of "thoughts'"
Sometimes the press agent utilizes the
newspapers to further his propoganda,
and sometimes the "word" is just
passed about in ordinary conversa
tion. A really good manufacturer ot
public opinion can, in fact, accom
plish more without the use of ths

newspapers than through them for in
these days newspapers have a habit
of being inquisitive, and often seek
motives behind apparently innocent
matter that is furnished them free of
charge for publication. However, in
the big questions the newspapers get
their share of "material, ' and many
of them print it.
Lobbying is not confined to national
and state legislative bodies alone,
however. It often gets into city bus
iness, and sometimes it pushes its way
into the meetings of selectmen of the
smallest hamlets. It may even be dis
covered in Oregon City. Councilman
Tooze, for instance, is quite positive
that there is "a something" working
against the efforts of his committee
to obtain pure water. Apparently
there was also "a something" working
in several directions when the elevat
or matter was brought up. And if gen
eral report be true, there is also "i
something" trying to work in regard
to the purchase by the city of a rock
crushing plant to be used for muni
cipal street improvement work. Spe
cial committees and regular commit
tees have favored this purchase, have
examined the property to be bought,
and have reported favorably on an or
dinance now pending which will pro
vide for its purchase. Yet there an
pears to be "a something" squirming
around underneath the surface some
where that is opposed to this 'pur
chase. Lobbying, however well disguised,
is a bad business. It is bad any
where. It is just as much out of place
in a hamlet as it is in congress. And
it is particularly unfitting that it
should be attempted in a city where
the councilmen are all trying to do
the best they can for the municipality,
and where they devote their labors to
the city without receiving compensa
tion for the time thsy spend upon the
city business.
AS TO THE In its last issue The
REAL FACTS Courier, aside from its
inexcusable and untrue attack upon
the members of the county court, con
tained enough misstatements to last
the average periodical for a whole
year. That all of these matters ap
peared in a single issue indicates that
Mr. Brown is not only blind to his own
littleness, as he has so blithely admit
ted, but that he has reached that
stage in his futile support of his dis
gruntled friends where he has real
ized that they have no case. So he i9
therefor trying to becloud tha issue
by abusing everybody and everything,
and by making the most weird and
strange allegations that his fertile
mind can conjure.

New York Lowering Moral
Standard
of the"
Nation
N
O WHERE in the'United States are luxury and vice so prom
inent as they are in the' streets and cafes of Greater New
York. New York is the Mecca of that portion of the well
to do population which wishes, to DISPOSE OF SUR
PLUS WEALTH IN RIOTOUS LIVING.
In New York men spend their earnings on a LOWER MORAL
LEVEL than in any other locality in the United States; hence it is
that District Attorney Whitman and all of the other agencies work
ing against vice and corruption found a system of commercialized sin
which probably has no parallel in the annals of history.
,
IN ITS LEADING TENDENCIES NEW YORK IS ANTI-INDUSTRIAL
AND ANTI-SOCIAL. IT IS NEITHER A LIVING PLACE NOR A BUSI
NESS PLACE. IT IS A SPENDING PLACE AND A PLACE IN WHICH
SPENDING LOWERS THE MORAL TONE OF PLEASURE SEEKERS.
Wealth passes into New York by hundreds of millions and disap
pears with no return. New York takes a toll on everything that
comes or goes, meanwhile giving little in return for what it gets.
Every man in the United States is WORKING HALF AN
HOUR A DAY FOR NEW YORK CITY, and New York re
turns to them only paper securities and a lowered moral standard.
The leaders of New York industry and commerce are staking their
fortunes on a population of ten millions. If they win by piling up
their industries twenty stories high, if they can induce people to live
five hundred, six hundred or seven hundred thousand to the square
mile, the land values of New York will increase to ten thousand mil
lions of dollars.
t t K
HUMAN MISERY AND DEGRADATION WILL INCREASE IN EVEN
GREATER PROPORTIONS, LUXURY AND EXTRAVAGANCE WILL
BLAZE FORTH AS NEVER BEFORE, AND NEW YORK, INSTEAD OF
HAVING, AS NOW, A TWELFTH OF THE ENTIRE WEALTH OF THE
UNITED STATES, WILL HAVE A FIFTH OR A SIXTH. IT IS, HOW
EVER, TOO LATE, FOR NEW YORK CANNOT WIN IN THIS VENTURE.
friend, Ed Olds, was the lowest bidder
on the "public elevator up the bluffs, '
and says The Enterprise didn't men
tion it. This was natural on the part
of The Enterprise, for Mr. Olds didn't
bid on the elevator. ' Probably The
Courier refers to the bid Mr. Brown
put in for the steel tower at the top of
the bluff. The other bid on this work
was made by the firm from which
Olds bought his steel, so it is no won
der that his bid was the lower. ;
- The Courier iftlso credits The Enter
prise with having been the subject of
a grand jury investigation. It states
that the grand jury took up and con
sidered a story this paper printed in
regard to an attempt to burn the Ore
gon City Woolen mills. The grand
jury did not consider the story print
ed in The Enterprise, it considered
the situation at the woolen mills. And
incidentally it may be remarked that
The Enterprise did not say that an at
tempt had been made to burn the
mills, either it said "what appears to
have been an attempt." r
The Courier also allies itself with
dishonest wood and fuel dealers by
rushing to their rescue on the "Equity
Society" page. If one would believe
The Courier, this organization of farm-1
ers is maintained to defend the wood
seller who delivers short-measure
loads. This will be interesting news
to the agriculturists, of this county.
The Enterprise has always supposed
that the Society of Equity was formed
to see that the farmers gave and re
ceived a square deal that is what
the name signifies. It is therefore sur
prising to have The Courier spring
pity and commisseration for the bene
fit of the dishonest wood seller who
cheats M3 clients. Especially is this
interesting when the report of - the
state inspector is taken into consider
ation, for this says that city dwellers
usually get about 80 per cent of the
'amount of wood that they ordered.
Apparently The Courier is badly up
set. Perhaps if it would quit its pres
ent company, life would flow more
smoothly in its sanctum. '

eart to Heart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
BACK TO THE FOUNTAIN.
It is told of Emperor Charlemagne
that on one of his trips to Rome he
took with him a large company of his
choristers.
One day, overhearing a dispute be
tween these musicians and those of
Rome as to the relative merits of the
song service of each, he rebuked his
own choristers after this fashion:
He asked them whether they would
choose to drink from a stream at its
fountain or after it had been muddied
by the impurities of its lower course.
They naturally answered that they
would drink from the fountain. His
reply in effect was, "Return then to
the fountain of SL Gregory," the Gre
gorian chants being the music of the
Church of Rome.
Might not all Christendom profit by
similar advice today? Has the stream
been kept pure in its course through
nineteen centuries and through the
many nations and alien environment It
has traversed? Is not the great need
of the world today to return to the
fountain, not of St. Gregory, but of the
teacher of all the saints, the Man of
Nazareth?
The living waters that arose in Beth
lehem have become a mighty river,
along whose banks are clustered the
greatest nations this earth has ever
known. Soon It will be a world gir
dling stream, and on its waters will
appear sails from every port and the
flags from every land upon the earth.
Have- not -some things been lost as
the river has flowed through the years?
Have we kept all the peace and good
will, all the spirituality, all the loving
kindness, all the quickening power, all
the life giving touch of the waters as
they bubbled from the original spring?
Those who quenched their thirst at
that Immortal spring quenched it so
fully that we are told they were never
athirst again.
In gaining numbers have we lost
quality? Have we not to relearn the
divine secrets that were the glory and
strength of the early church?
Back to the fountain! From the
music heard In Galilee some notes of
surpassing beauty have been lost Let
us strike again all the chords so that
the strainu of peace and brotherhood,
healing of the Individual and of the na
tions, renunciation, the bringing of
heaven on earth, the elevation of man
above mammon, of God above gold, all
these and other kindred notes may be
restored to the harmony.
- At last the world Is ready for the
Christ message as Christ told it We
have caught the vision. We have had
ravishing glimpses of a real. Christian
era. a veritable golden age. In the
years that are to be. .
