Helping the Home Merchant
So far Christmas trade has not
been as heavy locally as in previ
ous years, and the next few days
will probably see most of the
holiday buyinp done. An inspec
tion of the stocks of the local
stores shows that at no time have
they leen more complete or larg
er. Selections have been made
for the most discriminating buy
ers, while variety is not lacking.
This effort on the part of Hood
River merchants to please should
not be overlooked or forgotten
by local buyers. The success of
every town is told in the success
of its business institutions and in
the tendency to keep the money
brought in from abroad at home.
There is no season of the year
when this should be more closely
adhered to than now, when ex
penditures of thousands of dol
lars will be made and when
stocks have been largely in
creased in this expectation. A
little diligence will probably re
sult in shoppers getting what
they desire in the way of pur
chases, and they ought to make
it a point to exercise this dili
gence. It should be remembered that
it is the local merchant who gives
credit when the pocketbook is
lean, and also that it is this self
same merchant who reaches into
his pocket whenever an appeal is
made for funds for either public
or private purposes. The time is
at hand to show your apprecia
tion of the man who stands by
to help at all times for the suc
cess of the Hood River country
You can do it most effectually by
doing your trading at home.
Editorial Writing
What sort of an editorial
should an editor write after his
candidates and party have gone
down to defeat? asks the Amer
ican Press.
There have been two famous
editorials two we recall that
gained more than passing notice.
Marshall Murdock, father of,
the strenuous Congressman Vic-1
tor Murdock. was editor of the
Wichita Eagle during the first
Cleveland campaign. Murdock
had been fighting Cleveland
tooth and nail. Along about mid- i
night, when the reports showed
Cleveland was winning. Murdock j
was asked by his night editor if
he was not going to write an edi-1
torial telling hw it hapiened.
Murdock waited until two min
utes before press time; then,
poising his pencil for an second,
he wrote:
"Have we lit?"
And that was all the Eagle
carried in commenting on the
election the next day.
The Chicago Tribune has the,
record for even a shorter expres
sion. The Tribune had been
booming the Republican ticket.
There was nothing but a Repub
lican victory in sight, according
to the Tribune, and daily before
eU-ction it had to 1 its readers of
the great victory to come.
When the votes were counted
and the Democrats were returned
as winners, the Tribune's only
comment on its editorial page
was this on word:
"Hell:"
Every reader of the Tribune
knew just how the editor fHt,
and the word was expressive.
t
Editorial Comment.
The first solid congressional
delegation which New York will
send to the House of Representa
tives in many years on March 4th
next, is burnishing its armor for
the most belligerent campaign
upon which the democratic host
of Gotham has ever embarked in
the national capitol. Led by
Henry George. Jr.. regarded by
the democracy of Mew York as
one of the country's greatest
political economists, the delega
tion is to champion the American
bread basket. It is going after
the scalp of United States Sena
tor Nelson W. Aldrich. of Rhode
Island, chief sjKinsor of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff and all that
he stood for and represented as
chairman of the senate finance
committee. In the furtherance
of that policy it is to single out
for assault the principal meas
ures fostered by the Rhode
Island solon in the alleged inter
ests of the rubber trust and the
other monopolies subserved by
the tariff he drafted. With the
price of the necessaries of every
day life from ten to thirty per
cent higher there than anywhere
else. New York has felt the pinch
of the increased cost of living
more than any other American
city. For this it holds Aldrich
largely responsible. Hence the
disposition to concentrate fire on
him and all his works.

SEEING THE
ELEPHANT
B M. QUAD
Con right. l!li). y Associated l it
eiary Pre
I'euciii Silas ti.Mxlliiie was a a-ood
uiuu. ou may suy that ull ileum us
uie garni men, and such is the cne up
to a certain point.
Tin? tiU deacuu lived two miles
from the village aud his church, but
every Sunday he was there. Some
dcaccus wuuldu't have set out for that
drive in a blizzard or a thunderstorm,
but iK'iicuu Oocnlhuo uever mised a
Sunday.
Ou this particular occasion, however,
much to hi Morrow, the deacon found
himself interested lu the circus hills
posted up on the highway barus. He
reseuted his iuterest. He tried to chase
It away. He wrestled with it as be
hoed corn. He could have got the bet
ter of it but for oue tbius. The com
ing cirvu had ou exhibition au Afri
can elephant weighing two tous. lie
bad lost an eye and oue tusk, he bad
killed five keepers, aud it was expect
ed be would kill the sixth within a
month. There was souiethiug lu this
statement to appeal aud iuterest.
"What 1 want." be said, "is to see
that elephant. 1 want to look him
over for about half an hour, aud then
I shall he willing to drive back home."
'Brother (Joodhue," replied the min
ister, "as I uuderstaud it, there are
two tents. One Is for the menagerie
find the other for the circus."
"Ye, that's so."
"One ticket admits to both."
"It does."
"And the menagerie Is the first tent
you enter."
"I guess so."
"Well, the case seems to be right
here, fan you enter the first tent and
gnze on the elephant and not loug to
enter the second, where the circus ia?
It Is surely no fin to gaze on an ele
phant, hut when it comes to a circus
performance, deacon, that Is different,
you know. You must tight this out
aloue. You are a strong man, but the
two ringed cirrus Is an awful tempta
tion." He had n week to think it over.
Sometimes he was strong in his self
confidence, and again his knees wab
bled. Why pay 30 cents to see the
elephant alone when It would admit
to all? Was It worth that sum to gaze
on even au elephant that had killed
five men? It was decision and indeci
sion for a week, aud then the minister
inquired if his mind was made up.
"Not skassly," was the reply.
"You doubt your strength?"
"That's It. I do want to Bee the ele
phant, and I don't want to see them
gals in spangles, and I'm sweating
over It."
"Then wuuldu't It be wiser to give
up the Idea?"
The deacon weut home aud wrestled
another day and then decided not to
go near the behemoth. The circus
came, and bis neighbors went, and a
peddler came along the road and told
him that it wai the grandest aggrega
tion ou the face of the known world,
and the words brought a lonely feel
ing. The good man's reward was nt hand,
however. Just at sundown he beard
a great yelling down the road, and he
looked to see a great cloud of dust. A
haystack ou wheels was coming bis
way, pursued by men and dogs. The
deacon was at the barnyard gate with
a milk pail ou his arm. As the hay
stack came nearer he murmured to
himself:
"li'gosh, it's au elephaut. and he's
broke away from the circus: He's the
very oue I wanted to see, aud now
there won't be uo temptation about
it." ;
Yes, the two tonuer had broken j
loose and was looking for lumnir
board. He was hiking straight ahead
when be caught sight of the deacon .
and the open gate aud the cows In the
barnyard. He swerved aside and but-,
ted lu. Brother Ooodbue did not un-,
derstand the situation until two sec-i
ends too late. He was seized and I
thrown twenty feet high to come down,
on the wagon shed with a broken leg.
Then the four cows were picked up
and toyed with. They were tossed over
Into the road or slammed agalust the
barn, and the deacon on the roof for-'
got bis paiu as he gazed. Ills wagon !
was smashed to bits and his hayrack
Hilled apart, and the behemoth played1
ball with a plow or two. I
Of course the circus men were after
him all the time, but the two tonner
was out for fun, aud he didn't sub
mit to Ixiudage until he had had It ;
His last act was to burst through the J
fence and walk up to the kitchen i
of the farmhouse and pick up the well
curti and the old oaken bucket and ,
send them sky high among the limbs
of a cherry tree. Then he gave in and
was led away looking as Innocent aa a
lamb. The circus proprietors agreed
to pay all damages, but as a matter of ,
fact not a cent was ever bad from 1
them. Iiurlng his three months in
be Iescon Goodhue had many caller.
Among them, as a matter of course,
was his minister. As he sat down by ,
the bedside be asked:
"Iieacon. w hat do you figure up the
damage to be?" !
"'Bout five hundred, I ipiess."
"I'm I wish I ronld pay It."
"Oh, no one experts such a thing."
"No. I ce.n t psv It, but I'll tell yon
what I can do. I can advise you tbat
when the next circus romes atonic
you go to It. Ton not only go In and
see the elephant, but the kangaroot,
the camels, the giraffes and the hyenas,
and then you get a front seat at the
circus performance and stay nntll the
last act Is over." I
