CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
HECKING Both from the standpoint of the merchant and the consumer,
HORT WEIGHTS the suggestion made by the Live Wires for. a deputy
aler of weights and measures is a good one.
Clackamas county needs an official whose duty it would be to check over
eights and measures whenever a customer believes that he has not received
le scale to which he is entitled. There is no more wholesome effect on those
ho deal goods out over the counter or in other places of business than the
howledge that a sealer may at any moment drop into the place, sample the
oods that have just been placed in a package, and weigh them to test their
:curacy and trueness to the scale.
Not only that, but it is a protection to the merchant who gives full weight
nd accurate measurements on every pound of grocers or yard of cloth that
aves his place. It places him on the same footing with those merchants who
ake more by their underhanded methods. It gives him the chance to com-
ete with the others in his same line of business who are not scrupulous as he
in the way that they deal with their customers. - .
Some merchants regard it as sharp practice and keen business foresight to
lay the game of short weights and measures, and think that they have saved
loney for themselves and made a larger profit out of their customers tha'i
leir competitors across the street. But it is neither right nor good business.
'air dealing in business and in busness advertising is the key note to success
rid every merchant whose business has prospered for any length of time and
ho has risen from a small shop to a large store has had the experience that
roves to him the worth of that argument.
On the other hand, the consumer has the right to protection. When he
uys a dollar's worth of goods, he expects to get neither less nor more than
lat dollar will buy at the current prices in the open market. He wants just
hat he pays for and he is entitled to have it. To give him more is cheat -
lg the merchant. To give him less is cheating the consumer. From either
andpoint, it is neither good business nor fair play.
To insure fair dealing among the merchants and to protect the innocent
urchaser from the merchant who employs short weight tactics, the deputy
aler is the solution to the difficulty. It keeps the merchant on his guard
id protects the consumer even when the sealer does not happen to be oil
uty. 1 he effect of such an appointment would be wholesome if the man
bpointed were alive to his work and attended to the business that had been
elegated to him by the county court. -
Much of the usefulness of such an act would depend largely upon the
an selected to perform the duties of the sealer. It would to a great extent
evolve upon him to bring prosecutions for the violations of the law. Com-
aints from all over the county could be reported to him and the standard
f weights and measures would probably be considerably improved.
Whether any cases of short weights have been found in the county is not
fficially known. It is probable that many merchants now have on their
mnters weights that are not up to stands and they are perfectly innocent of
.e fact. "Many scales are not correct and even the best of them vary from
me to time unless they are checked over at frequent intervals by a man who
nows the business and who carries the standards of all of the weights and
measures with him. It is probable, too, that through the county there arc
iany scales that have not been corrected in many years and that are today
kr off from the true weight that they should register.
- Innocently, the merchant who owns these scales cheats his customers. He
ay not have the slightest suspicion of it and he may be one of those who
ould deliver over his store rather than vary by a hair breadth the good? that
e weights out to his customers. If he knew the false reports that his scales
ake every hour in the day, he would be glad to have the county furnish him
man to keep a check upon them at intervals. Such an official would be a
rotection to him and to his business.
Such a man is necessary to the county. He is necessary to the merchant
nd to the merchant's customers.

eqvivalent to from 5 to 7 cents a pound. He cites this as evidence that duty
does not benefit the woolgrower. ,-'
The truth is that, while ostensibly enjoying the benefits of protection,
the woolgrowers have been suffering all the ill effects o,f free trade. The
wool schedule has been made the particular mark of all recent attacks on the
tariff. - The Payne-Aldrich bill was no sooner passed than President Taft,
while approving the bill as a whole, pronounced this schedule indefensible.
Ever since that time congress has been discussng bills to reduce or abolish the
duty on raw wool. This continual threat of tariff reduction has been a
powerful weapon in the hands of the buyers wherewith to bear the price, un
til, as Mr. Chamberlain says, it approximates the English price. Such a con
dition is no fair index to the comparative effects of free and protected wool.
The senator's statement that he favored a 15 per cent duty on raw wool
as a revenue and not as a protective measure does not agree with the state
ments he made on the one occasion when he broke over the party traces. On
that occasion, though his remarks were carefully excluded from the congres
sional record, he announced his refusal to sacrifice the interests of the wool
growers of his state at the dictates of the caucus by voting, for free wool.
Nowhe denies that those interests will suffer.
It is easy to judge on which occasion Mr. Chamberlain expressed his real
sentiments. The expunged speech was evidently the spontaneous outburst
of a man who had long chafed at party restraint. His recent interview has
all the characteristics of a labored excuse from a man who has been whipped
into line. .
A NEW There is a new lineup in the Balkans, the scene of never-ceasing
ALIGNMENT war. The creation of a state of Albania, one of the re
sults of the strife between the Turks and what were popularly called the Bal
kan allies, is serving as one of the bones of contention. It is probable that
had there been no intervention by the "great" powers of Europe, there would
have been no new Albanian state and consequently one less cause for disagree
ment. But the autonomous government was established and the trouble is
on. worse than ever. After the treaty of London ' there was a disagreement
between Bulgaria and the rest of the former allies; Bulgaria lost that fight
and with it, much territory gained from the Turks. And now we have the
spectacle of a thrd war, this time between the Greeks and Servs on one sid:
and the Albanians on the other, the object being for the two older countries
to get for themselves slices of Albanian territory. The cause for this latest
falling out is the charging of bad faith made by the Servs and Albanians to
ward each other, with the Greek government getting in the game to secure
some more spoils. The main show in the Albanian-Servian-Greek- tent has
for its side show a revival of the war spirit in Turkey with more than ap
parent indications that the Bulgarians are willing to tie up with the sultan
to get revenge on the former allies; object, more territory. It's a great little
game, this, and the powers must be gratified to know that had it not been for i
their interference the first encounter with the allies against the Turks would J
l.ave meant the obliteration of the Mussulman from Europe, with some j
chance that the allies then .would have been satisfied. ; . J

"LITTLE THINGS."
She was a woman, a wife and moth
er, a housewife in one of our large
cities, with everything seemingly to
make her happy.
And she ran away! -
She returned in a few days, however,
and this is what she said:
"If I were to tell you of all the lit
tle things that got ou my nerves you
would laugh at me."
Perhaps.
But the laughter would be born, of
the shallow thought that does not
probe below the surface of things. The
thinker does not laugh, at the little
things, for life is a bundle of- little
things, and the great affairs are far
apart.

So it is with the little cares of the
