THE PUBLIC BLACKGUARD In its self appointed capacity of public blackguard the Glacior has from time to time taken upon it self the task of assailing men and institutions at Hood River against whom it has some fancied griev ance. For several weeks under cloak of the skulking O'Reilly it attacked and endeavored to be smirch the character of those to ward whom its ill-will was directed It now sees fit in its role of pub lie censor to make an uncalled for attack ou the News in an article which it heads, "As to Lies;'' a subject on which it is evidently very much at home from practical experience. It apparently knows all about lies, from its analysis of various kinds. From its intimate knowledge as to their value, the conclusion is conclusively drawn that it has tried all kinds; some it is inferred it has found profitable, others disastrous. This austere and virtuous relic of journalism looks abroad to criticise the al leged sins of its fellows ; it casts about for an opportunity to plunge its vulture beak of venomous criticism into affairs public and private. Under the guise of es pousing the cause of the public good this benevolent, generous, progressive paper vents its ani mosity or its favor according to its patronage. In its position of moral rectitude, so stringent that it leans back ward, this palladium of all the newspaper virtues would be a joke if it were not for its blatant venom. As sage, prophet or advocate the Glacier is a failure. As a medium to purge its contemporary of its alleged errors and omissions it lacks the innate sincerity of truth and honesty. . The Glacier will do well to be come introspective, to look in wardly and see what it finds; to pause for meditation, and when tempted to criticise its fellows, to smother the inclination in a par oxysm of disgust for its role of public blackguard. MR. LANQILLE'S CRITICISM As can be noted in another col umn the News gives its authority for the story relating to the bond issue which forms the excuse for the Glacier's ill-advised attack and also for the unnecessary com ments on the conduct of this pa per by Recorder Langille. In making a statement ot his opin ion of the legality of the bone issue and the proceedings necessary prior to it, Mr. Langille was un doubtedly within his privileges; his other comments, however, were uncalled for. The News has not ap pointed him its censor, and it fails to find this role assigned him in the section of the charter defining his duties. The statement which Mr. Langille objects to was made in good faith backed up by proper authority. It was given for what it was worth as news and com ments to the contrary were a mis take on Mr. Langille's part. Hood River must take up this work and the plan suggested meets the ditliculty more than half way. By issuing improvement bonds under the Bancroft act a large amount of paving could be done in the near future, the city and its residents benefit almost immedi ately and the cost be made easy. There is no doubt that the council would be glad to authorize ' the work if it can be shown that prop erty owners are favorable and we believe that a majority of them are. All OREGON NEWS Portland, Ore., Feb. 22--( Special) The new packing plimt of the Swift Interests on ttie IYuIiihuIh I expected to start operations on Murch 14. Be cause of the magnitude of the work embraced In the Swift plans there ha been a delay In the original pro ject of nearly n year In getting ready for packing but the plant is now practically complete. The opening of the plant menus that 5X) people will be employed at the nturt with the probability that the number will be doubled within the coming year. It will furnish n big livestock market for the farmers and stock misers of the Pacific Northwest nnd other packing plants and factories for util izing side products of the packing bouses will be established. Work on what will be the tallest building In the state, if not lu the Pacific Northwest, will be begun March 10, when construction of the new Yeon building will start. The structure will be built at the cor ner of Fifth aud Alder streets and the rose planting exercise. This has tecome un annual event Id Port land and the custom Is growing lu favor each year. The planting of roses at a time when many other sections of the country are still wrap ped In snow and Ice Is also a splendid advertisement of Oregon'e climate. Advertisements are being placed by the Portland Commercial Club lu the leading Swedish aud Norwegian Danish papers of the country, culling attention to opportunities here for Industrious people who seek homes In the country districts. A large In quiry U coming to the Portland olllce from Scandinavians all over the country and letters are answered by a special correspondent who un derstands the language. This Is but one phase of the Commercial Club's work but It Is bringing Inquiries. The people nre thrifty and Industri ous aud settlers ot this kind will help develop the vacant lands of the state. C I NORTHWEST MOTES jj From our Seattle correspondent. Seattle, Feb. '22 Roosevelt seems to look pretty good to the newspa per editors of Oregon, Washington nnd Idaho, In fact, to most of them west of the Mississippi river. A Chi cago newspaper conducted a canvass of the editors west of the Alleghanlex recently to find out their choice for president. The move was made to ascertain if Taft is still a favorite with the people. The canvas showed that Itoosevelt was the favorite with l:)00 editors, w hile Tuft trails with 10!);). In Oregon Taft got 14 votes and Itoosevelt 3J; In Washington Itoosevelt 51, Taft III; In Idaho Itoose velt fell behind Taft, the latter re ceiving 17 votes and Itoosevelt 14. Jesus how would you demonstrate that a person may or may not be his follower who does not delight to do good and, having the opportunity Is uot actively engaged lu doing It? Verse 1! What Is the law which oiK'rates to eternally destroy the hope nnd happiness of till who per sist lu doing evil? Verse JO What Is the natural fruit of a follower of Jesus, and that of a follower of evil? Verses 21-SI Jesus Intimates here that a man may be quite successful In religious work and yet be a work er ot iniquity; show how that can le possible. How does (Jod regard a man who prays and yet knowingly commits sin? Does God expect, nnd is It reason. uble to expect, that ordluary mortals can do his will In all things? How do you account for the self deception of men who, according to the teaching of Jesus, will walk up to the gate of heaven, thinking they are saved, but to be turned back as workers of Iniquity? (This question must be answered In writing by members of the club.) Verses 24-27 Does Jesus menn that we are to do literally us his words read lu this sermon on the Mount, or to take them as principles nnd do as he did, form the personal acquaint ance of the Father and then do his will in the details? If a man loves God nnd his fellows and Is following Jesus In doing good, always being true to the voice of Gop In bis soul, what reason Is there to believe that that Is building upon the impregnable rock?

IMPROVED STREETS The proposition advanced by the Civic Improvement League for the purpose of securing early action in regard to street improvement is worthy of the earnest consideration of Hood Riv r residents. There is no condition here which causes so much unfavorable com ment by casual visitors and pros pective investors as lack of paved streets and it is also admitted by those most loyal to the town that they are far from what they should be. It is pointed out by strangers that many towns of smaller popu lation than Hood River have block after block of paved streets and in this res'ct they make unfavorable comparisons and cast doubt on the progresiveness of the community. In fact it is a serious disadvantage.
