THE SOCIALIST PARTY.
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

tho affairs of tlm nut ion thau has nny

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.

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

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

Who can contemplate the abundant

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.

cam to playing such a part on the 4th
f March, 1001. The senate tlck!e
o for minor detail of etiquette Utt
the most trenuou reformer would
hardly venture to transgress Its rules,
and they require that a formal motion
to adjourn shall be put before a day's
session can come to an end. After hi
Inauguration a vie president In the
aennte chamber Mr. Roosevelt took the
gavel and, when the routine business
wa finished, directed the sergeant at
arms, a usual, to proceed with the
ceremony of Inaugurating Mr. McKln
ley a president
It was thro In order for some senator
to move an adjournment, bnt In the
confusion nobody seemed to have bis
wits about blm, and the whole assem
blage, Including the senator, quitted
the chamber for the east portico, where
the oath wa to be administered and
the address delivered. In a few mln
ntes the vice president found himself
alouo, with a fair prospect of remain
ing so until the day' performances
were over, but It chanced that Bnnntor
Heltfeld missed his bnt while passing
through tho corridor and enme back to
look for it Face to faeo with the vice
president. 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.

ILL NATURED BRUTES.
ICnalurnnp and Carrylna Power the
Only Uoud Tralta In Cnnirln.
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. London Illus

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."

vhy not ue tbi" srme biv-ine's judg
ment in the pnrcliSMt of a piano that
yon employ in buying an ordi ary arti
cle? 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.

possreted by the Eilers Piano Hoase.
Please rail or write and let us tell yon
loot them.
