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.
