Oregon Will Survive It may be that organized labor is anxious to retain public sym pathy, but it is certain that some recent tactics have had an ex tremely damaging effect upon such hopes, if they are enter tained. The most recent action to be condemned by the general public was the letter sent out from Portland and warning working- men away from the state. State ments contained in this vicious circular have since been admit ted by its authors to be grossly exaggerated. However, it was just what certain eastern news papers were eagerly looking for in order to staunch the flow of immigration westward. These papers have been giving the Portland circular extensive pub licity. Oregon's opportunities are drawing thousands of ambi tious people from the eastern states and arguments against the state however false they may be are valuable. If the real workingmen of the state were behind this misguided movement, the situation would be hard to understand. When it is known, however, that it is the work of a few demagogic leaders who are playing for their own personal ends, the truth be comes apparent. Oregon will survive this un warranted and cowardly attack because she offers too bright and too varied opportunities to the man who is willing to work to suffer long. Those who have come here and who have found all and more than they expected are now and will remain the state's best boosters. Tariff The Real Issue It has long been a foregone conclusion that the tariff will be the vital issue in the coming presidential campaign. How ever the candidates may line up, the tariff planks in their respect ive platforms will be subjected to the closest scrutiny and upon them must each Jcandidat either stand or fall. The time has passed when any reasonable man would attempt to defend the present schedule of high duties upon some of the necessities of life, and both par ties now admit that there must be substantial reductions in order to relieve the tension which is apparent the country over as the result of the high cost of living. This unrest, prevailing as it does among those classes upon whom the struggle for existence falls the heaviest, makes prompt re medial measures imperative. Governor Foss of Massachu setts is the latest to raise his voice and demand prompt action by Congress. He declares that back of whatever local cause there may be for the strike in volving 30,000 mill operatives in that state, the fundamental cause is the high cost of living, from which the working people in all sections of the country now suf fer, due in large part to the pres ent excessive tariff, The Happiness of Today Half the joy of life comes from getting good out of things as we go along. Some of us are al ways putting off our enjoyments. After awhile we expect to take a rest, see a friend, read a look or enjoy some other long-anticipated pleasure, but that after awhile never comes. The good times we are looking forward to lie as far away as ever. All our life is i"nt in meaning to over take it and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge and grow old, passing by with unselfish eye the happiness we might get out of every day. T. R. Standing Pat Speculations in regard to Roosevelt's intentions have been further aroused during the past week by the explanation appear ing editorially in the Outlook that the Colonel's words, spoken in ltX4 and repeated in IiX7, that under no conditions would he accept another nomination, did not apply to the present year lhe Uutlook s editorial uses this illustration: "When a man says at break fast in the morning, 'No, thank you, 1 will not take any more coffee,' it does not mean that he will not take any more coffee tomorrow morning or next week or next month or next year. "And when Colonel Roosevelt said, 'Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or ac cept another nomination,' he did not mean he would not accept the nomination in 1912 or 1916 or 1920." At first blush this looks like an attempt on the part of Roose velt to open the way for a possi ble announcement of his candi dacy. It certainly leaves the Progressives and LaFollette sup porters in a state ot suspense and they are still at a loss which way to turn. The Colonel is evi dently going to take things as they come between now and April, but probably intends to accept the nomination if circum stances swing the convention his way. In other words, he will no doubt be content to pose between now ana convention time as a "standpatter." Oak Grove Spirit Residents of Oak Grove have set about making country life in that attractive section more pleasant and profitable, if possi ble, by organizing a club which will hold monthly meetings at which times matters of vital im portance to all will be discussed. Members will be given an op portunity to participate by read ing papers upon subjects of which they may have special knowledge. Matters of com munity interest will also be dis cussed and altogether the pur pose for which the club has been organized is most admirable. Every' section has its distinct ive spint and the character of the community will be deter mined by the relations which exist between the individual members. Any movement which tends to encourage co-operation and unity cannot but bring ex cellent results if properly carried out. Now that Professor Lawrence is county iruit inspector, he is in a position to work in behalf of all orchardists. Arrangements have been made whereby he will keep the orchardists informed through the columns of the News, and it is assured that these timely suggestions will prove of great value to all who are interested in the fruit indus try here. Hood River was flooded with warm, delicious sunshine all day Monday and as a forerunner of many more such days to come it was thoroughly welcome. It did much to dry up the roads and much more in cheering up those who have missed Old Sol's coun tenance during the past few weeks. After all that has been said about the dishonesty of politi cians, Hood River citizens must be a remarkably honest lot. Certainly aspirants to political honors are remarkably scarce hereabouts at the present writing. In St. Louis they are discuss ing the leasaoiuty of marrying on $12 a week. It ought to be perfectly feasible. As an ex change points out, however, the difficulty comes in remaining married on such on income. A twenty-third child has been born to a Missouri couple and they now have hopes of raising a lare family even if they have to adopt a youngster or two.
