AS ONE MAN The Molalla Pioneer,
VIEWS IT a newspaper which has
kept entirely out of the recall discus
sion, and which heretofore has taken
no side in the fight, now announces
itself as opposed to the movement.
Editor Taylor has suspended judg
ment in the matter until he could hear
all sides of the argument, and hav
ing digested the information obtain
able, expresses himself as follows:
"We-have read everything we could
get bearing on the present recall elec
tion. We approached it without
prejudices. We did not know a per
son in question. . Not even the edi
tor scrappers in the case. Our con
viction is that there has not been a
.case made against the court strong
enough to warrant their recall."
OPPORTUNITY The question is of
TO BOOST ten asked as to what is
the one thing a commercial club, or
any body of citizens interested in the
advancement of a community, can do
to better that community. The ans
wer is not easy to give, because con
ditions are different in every town or
city, and what would be good advice
for one would not be particularly use
ful in nother. Of course every such
organizations tries to interest new
sett'ers in its own community, and en
deavors to put before the rest of the
world the attractions of a home in or
near its own town, where everything
is painted as bsing ideal.
Sometimes, though, in doing this,
such organizations over reach the
mark, and miss opportunities near at
home. Oftentimes, -when new set
tlers have been attracted, and have
been procured, there is still work
that can be done. For instance, if a
man comas from Minnesota to some
Western section, and settles down, it
is quite as necessary that, he be pro
vided with a means of livelihood as
it is that he be told the advantages of
the community into which he has
moved. And herein lies a line of ef
fort that any commercial club or sim
ilar organization may well specialize
in.
Probably no such organization can
create a market for the products
' raised in its vicinity, but it can help
find a market. If a new settler is de
voting himself to raising poultry, for
instance, the commercial club might
try and make it easier for him to find
a market for his eggs. If the new
settler is growing potatoes, the civic
organization of his community might

do m,uch by making it easy for him
to dispose of his crop. Such work
can be done by urging local grocery
men, butchers, commission men and
other merchants to buy home-grown
produce in preference to buying prod
uce elsewhere.
Buying home-grown stuff at home
not only helps the settler, but it helps
ths market community. The farmer
who drives into town with a load of
spuds, and who can sell them for cash
in town, is pretty apt to spend some
of that cash next door buying goods
for dresses for his children, or shoes
for the boys, or shingles for, the barn.
On the other hand, if the farmer
drives into town with a load of spuds,
and his crop is not purchased, he will
either drive on to the next town to
dispose of themi, and do his buying
there; or he Will drive back home
again with a well-deve'oped grouch,
will ship his produce to some metro
politan market, and will then order
what he needs from a mail-order
house in Chicago.
In such cases the central community
of his district gets no benefit from
his presence. And the settler will
not be a booster for the community,
and if any of his friends back East
write to him . and ask him about his
new home, he will answer them that
it is si. pretty place, but that there is
no use of their coming out, as the
trade field is limited. And in that
way he becomes an actual hindrance
to the community, and cannot be
blamed for so being.
This is a side of the commercial
club question that is not sufficiently
regarded in many Western commun
ities. The organizations of this na
ture that look after settlers after they
arrive, it will be found, are the ones
that have a "follow-up system," and
that never cease their interest in peo
ple. They not only get more settlers,
but they place benefits in the way of
those they have secured, and they
help build up both the central town
and the surrounding territory. And
they do all this without spending any
extra money, but merely by urging
their own members to always buy
what the farmer has to sell. They
may not buy at a very high figure,
perhaps, but they always buy, and
buy for cash. And the greater share
of this cash stays in the town through
other trade channels.
North Yakima, for instance, is such
a town. Its commercial club is never
greatly concerned about the Panama
canal, or about coast-wide confer
ences. Its chief business is to make
the lot of peopfe near North Yakima
as happy and as prosperous as pos
sible. Thai it has . $2,000-an-aere ap
p'.e land on which to work makes no
difference. Hoquiam .where acreage
can be had for $100, is working along
the same lines. North Yakima has
been at ii longer than any other com
munity, perhaps, and now all the lit
erature sent out by the North Yakima
Commercial club bears in red . ink
across it the following legend: "Pros
pective settlers who have not at least
$2,000 are not advised to come to this
region."
When a commercial club can print
things like that on its literature there

must be a reason. North Yakima has
looked after its own, and that is the
reason. Hoquiam's commercial club
is Coing much the same as did North
Yakima's club, and Hoquiam's terri
ory is developing in much the same
way. Other commercial clubs might
do well to copy after these two. Look
ing after one's own may seem selfish,
but it pays. And it is logical.

is a grandson of the great novelist,
Bulwer Lytton, and son of the diplo
matist and poet who chose the pseu

Earl succeeded his father in the
title in 1891. He is said to have in

"THE STRAIGHT GAME." .
George Robinson (not his real name),
twenty-four years old, a 'prisoner in
his Britannic majesty's prison of
Wormwood Scrubbs. saw no use in
his continued living, so he hanged
himself in his cell. . And that was the
end of a man who. still very young,
thought that all hope ended for him
when the prison door closed behind
him.
When hope dies, all dies.
In the working of the universe, wise,
though often inscrutable, everything
has a purpose. Even the pitifully short
and bard life. of George Robinson will
help to uplift the world, for he left
a message.
Before he died he wrote a note to a
young woman. In it he said:
The straight game Is the best, after all.
You who laugh at preaching, who
think the teachings of the moralists
are "rot." think over the testimony of
the poor burglar convict. For himself
he realized too late that "the straight
game is the best." ; At the end of a
short note to his sweetheart be
preached the lesson to the world, that
others might read and profit thereby.
He had followed the crooked path,
knew the weariness of the journey and
the disappointment that lies at the
farther end. From afar he had be
held the straight road, traveled in
honor and respect, with hard toil per
haps, but still with the strong arm of
consciousness of right to help over the
rough places. He lacked the courage
t cross over.
He had played the crooked game and
knew that in it the cards are "stacked"
u gainst the player, the dice are loaded,
the roulette wheel is weighted. -
You can't beat it.
He knew the game was crooked, but
he had not the moral courage to break
away from it. To its very crooked
end he played it. for suicide is a
cnmked way of finishing the game, of
casting aside the world's burdens and
responsibilities.
The message of George Robinson
proved that he had intellect enough to
appreciate the meaning of life. If be
bad but had -the courage to stick it
out to the end and to serve his tern,
something might have been made of
him.
1 1 yon are playing" the crooked game
and think yon are going to "get away"
with it think of the convict of Worm
wood Scrubhs and his last message to
the world.
LUCK. . ,
Luck is of your own making.
Luck means rising at 6 in the more- ,
ing and living on $ I a day if you
can make $2. Luck means the hard
ships and privations you have not
hesitated to endure, the long nights
devoted to hard work. Luck means
the appointments' you have' never
failed to keep, the train you have
never failed to catch. Luck means
the trusting in God and your own
resources. Luck comes to them
who help themselves and know
how to wait. Max O'Rell.

THIRTY years ago Howard Elliott followed Horace Greeley's advice and
went west He became a forty dollar a month clerk at Burlington,
la. Now he retuius east to become the $100,000 a year president of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. How did be do it?
Hard work, backed by a well grounded education. His parents weren't
wealthy, and he had a hard struggle to get through Harvard. He was born in
New York city, brought up in New England and won his success in the west
He became president of the Northern Pacific, succeeding Charles S. Mellen
Now he succeeds Mellen as head of the New Haven system. He announces a
new "open door" policy for the New England lines, which will be in contrast
.with the stand of President Mellen, who has long been under fire

A Good Suggestion.
When yon go on your summer trip
have four or five pieces of mat or
straw board cut the' size of the inside
of your trunk, so that they will slip
in easily. Wrap dresses in tissue
paper and tie to these boards with
tape. Ytn can pack or unpack and
nothing net-d lie disturbed until it Is
