MAI'LK LAME, Oro., May 30, 1908. (Editor Kooord. ) I have fol lowed your editorial oolumn for some time and hare uotod frequent refer ence to tlio cauao of Socialism. Yon have practically admitted tlint most 4 our thoorio are right. You hold at tha Rooord m a Republican news jtaprr, but "between tlio lino" may bo road your convictions, which nro to nay tlio leant anything bnt orthodox. If I am right in my boliof, lmve tlio courage of your convictions,. Como ut boldly for tho party that ropro mil Amorlciui freedom. Wrlto Soela lint on yuor title page, and tho power that upholds all in that right will prosper yon. Your for tho cause, W. M. Wo publish a lot tor from Maplo Lano, iu which our HopuliiK'iui ortho doxy In challenged. Tho Record be lieve thai tho Republican party him shown greater ability in conducting tho affairs of tlm nut ion thau has nny ether organisation. Tho paper's pur pose, liowovor, in to furnish to tho stent of iU ability, a gonoral sum tnary of news, such as wo boliovo tlio f ilixena of Clackamas county dofiiro Tho Rooord does not wish to encourage tho too 'coniinon linliit of Rooing but mm sido of a question and refusing to look nt tho other, to blindly pur sue, first impression. This is a time, o to spook, for men who are in tho dark to get their lanterns out. Our country was never in greater ueod of curliest thought Oroat social problems aro pressing on onr people tor a solution, and blindly bowing to the dictation of uncrupulons party bosses is not going to solvo them. If tho Record can effect a little toward getting people to thinking, wo boliovo it has accomplished some thing for Immunity. It has done much more if its humble oJTorts may assist someone iu right thinking. Nearly all men admit that many of tho theories ami principles of Social ism are bnwl on good reasons. However, tho Record does not be lieve that tho present socialists plan f government is a practical working system. Hut the character and sin cerity of a largo numberof thoso work iug'in the socialistic ranks compel resect, Iu ' promulgating their theories thoy appeal to reason alone. Only when men appeal to prejudice Ajt they display the weakuess of their anse. The Record reserves the right to riticise or condemn anv political or Haninations as its faults or merit may appear and assuming this position will submit to tho judgment of the people. From Russia comes the reports of an outrageous massacre of unoffend ing Jews. Hundreds have been killed nt right or horribly maimed. The reHirted participation in the crime of Russian offteaU of high standing takes the episode one of the most das tardly occurrence that blackens the pages of modern history. Russia has, of recent years, been tanked among the civilised countries I the world, but the record of her intolerance toward free institutions and her deuialof fundameutral rights and her numerous practice of bar Wity show tha shot has been wrongly olasslfied. Her persecution of the Jew has been one uninterrupted aory of crime aud butchery. Her Silmrlan prisons thrvng with that wretched land of trivial aud often protended political offences. This race is bounded to its death ty the Russian, not because it rvpre sent an Inferior citisonship it is in uv.ti-v ri'iiHH'l surcrior to ih Riwvi.n it is po ii wuira eecus ox its thrift and natural strength. By an nnoiplalnabla chance of mis fortune, the Jew ha become a wan dercr upon earth. The scattered race has perservod its national character istica. That it has not becomo m do graded pnoplo liospealt for it tin noblost traits of manhood, for there are few people and probably not an other than the Jewish race that could undergo the test of a thousand years dislntcgartlon, and of aimless wan dorings in foreign lands without suffering complete degonoration. Tho Russian to-day Tents his wrath on a peoplo greater by natoro than ho, bat whoso misfortuno it is to have no national government to afford him protection in a foreign land. Who will say that the day may not como when thisjiomoless peoplo shall jour ney from the remote parts of tho world and gather together in Israel shall set up thoro a kingdom, the mightiest of all powers on earth. Such is tho prophecy and when tho prophocy is fulfilled, woe unto tho Russian savage, tho brutal persecutor of tho Jews. NOVER FAlUNd CROPS. Tho fruit sons in has mndo its ap pearance with a good supply of goose berries in tho Oregon City markets. From now on for several months we will bo permitted to enjoy a fine variety of small berries, one succeed ing tho other in ns accommodating order as though wo had arranged tho timo of their coming and going to suit our own convenience. After them tho larger fruit, until Oregon has provod herself tho paradiso of Christendom, Who can contemplate the abundant treat that never fails our beautiful valley and say his is not the most blessed land known 'to civilization. Who will doubt that the finger of dostony points Westward and to tho Willamotto Valley, PUBLICITY DEMVNDED. In last Monday's Rooord Master of Maple Lane Grange, P. of II. published a report of tho expenditure of money collected for building a grange ball. This is an example especially to bo commended to persons handling trust funds in such enterprises. It is business, Peoplo need not mistrust tbo man to whom falls tho duty of disbursing such funds, bnt every person who sub scribes to such an enterprise feels satisfaction in knowing from a com plete report that tho moneywas well expended. People will subscribe much more cheerfully to publio enterprise if they are conducted in a public way. PERSONAL MENTION' - - Miss Cora Griswold, of Salem, is visiting friends in this city.

It occurred to the senator that something must bo wrong, so with the utmost gravity he moved "that the sonn to do now adjourn." Mr. Roosevelt, with equal solemnity, put tne motion, declared It carried and proceeded In Mr. Heltfeld's company to the place on the presidential stand which hnd boon reserved for him. Francis K.

As wo have racers and cart horses, so the Arabs and the natives of north eastern Africa have broods of cnmela severally adapted for riding and foi carrying burdens. It is to the fast rid lug and racing camels that the name dromedary alone applies, so thnt this term the Greek equivalent of "racer" Indicates merely a breed and not a partleulnrVpecles. All the camels of Arabia and Africa, as well ns those employed In India, be long to the single humped species, which Is a lightly built and long limbed animal In comparison with its double humped relative, the Ractrlan camel of central Asia. Not improbably some of the herds of the hitter species which are found In the neighborhood of the Gobi desert are the descendants of aboriginally,! wild animals, but the Arabian camel Is quite unknown In a wild state, and we are even Ignorant of its birthplace, although it la quite likely that this may have been north Africa or the neighborhood of the Ara bian desert For traversing desert tracts camels ore absolutely Indispen sable. Their broad cushtonllke hoofs proclaim them essentially animals of the desert, and a camel Is absolutely helpless on a wet aud slippery inclined road. As If conscious that man cannot do without them, camels are some of the worst tempered and ill naturetl brutes In creation, and, save for their en durance and the heavy loads they can carry, no one has a good word to say In their favor. If a camel can bite a mounted traveler whom he may be passing In a narrow road, he will never fall to avail himself of the opportunity, and the bubbling noise made by a "mast" camel at night will destroy the rest of an eutire camp.

CARE OF THE SICK. rh Trained Kurae Ilnblt and On Grave Point It Involves. A writer in the Saturday Review con tends that wives mid mothers have too much given up a precious service In mrrenderlng the sickroom, even in triv ial cases, to the trained nurse. He says: "We have to- face the fact that, while there is sre,at gain in trained and paid nursing,- there is also a loss of something else, and the point to be fettled Is whether this loss is benefl t lal to all parties concerned. Personal ly I doubt It. So far, Indeed, as the slighter ailments nro concerned, I be lieve and I know many doctors will bear me out that the growing habit of sending at once, whenever possible, for skilled shoulders on which to lay every tlttlo of responsibility cannot fall to Weaken a woman's motherhood or loos en the tie of her wifehood. "This is strong langunge, I know, lut the subject deserves It. The nursing of the sick Is something that no woman can afford to leave out of her life alto gether without detriment to her own character. Let her call In skilled aid by all means should she be unfit for the technical port of the work, but that does not exonerate her from other work quite as Important, for, without being a Christian Scientist, I assert that no reasonable person who has studied the marvelous Influence of mind can doubt that the mental atmosphere tn which we happen to be does affect the ImhIv."

There should be no mystry about piano buying or piano selling. The retail price consists of its cost to build plus the cost of selling it to the retil buyer. By cot of selling it is meant the ex penses of maintaining a store, freight, dravrge, advertising, salaries and cum djImmoos to salesmen, teachers, eic. This bet g he rase, it is evident that one store may be in a position to name a lower retail price on the same grade of instrument than ran othei. A little denier, mho stl.s four or five pianos a month, cannot reduce the cost oi&ellitig much below $125 to $160 on each piano. Nor cn he buv his pianos at a close ptice from the maker The average dea'er does not sell to ex ceed 25 to 30 pianos a month. And if hi total expenses each month are $3000 then it follows that his average cost of selling asirgie piano is also from $100 to $120. Now comes he New Method Store. Instead ct selling a limit.! number at the old time hieh prices, Eilers Piano House is organised to sell 150, yes, 200 piano each month. That seem a sell ing cost from $15 to $20 a piano. A dir ect saving to the retail buvcr of a clean $100 tJ $130 on this item alone. - There ar doseos ol other advantages possreted by the Eilers Piano Hoase.
