The Plaixdealk is in receipt of many
Iters of commendation lor its course
id also a few of condemnation. In
te month of February we have placed
t new subscribers on our list and
topped from all causes 31, leaving a
at gain of 37. Among the letters re
jived this morning we cony from two.
his one ia from Myrtle Creek :
"I have been a constant
eider of the Plaixdealkr for many
ears and I have read with much inter
et every issue of the paper under the
ew management. So far as I can learn
he stand the Plaixdkaler has taken
n recent public issues has the hearty
pproval of the republicans in this part
f Douglas county. This part of Oregon
teeds a straight, fearless republican
letrspaper that will advocate right
neaeures for the good of the people at
arge. Such a paper I hope the Plain
iKALEs will be from now on. I have
olked with a number of men in this
sommunity and all agree that there is
il together too much scheming and log
oiling going on in this county for the
jood of our party. I send you several
lew names to please send the Plain d kal
is to. I will be in to see you when 1 am
ji Koeebcrg. The other is
!rom Oakland and it says : "Stop my
"taper. I have had enough of your etren-
aous journalism."
And so it goes. The Plaixdkal-cb
will be what its name implies a fear
less exponent of the republican party
and principles. Whatever the party en
dorses as a party will be advocated and
it will at all times be true to public of
ficials who are true to their trusts. It
will praise every laudable effort for good
and denounce every effort to besmirch
the pa ply for personal gain. And re
garding the statement made that this
paper is owned by the Southern Pacific
railroad, (in any manner or form) all
we care to say is this : It is untrue in
every particular. The mere fact that
the editor believes in dealing justly
by every enterprise is the cataee for the
circulation of the report.

A CLEAN SESSION.
The session of the legislature just past
w as undoubtedly one of the cleanest
that ever assembled at the State Capital.
There was not an intimation dnring
the whole session of any corrupting in
fluences lor or against any candidate or
anv measure. There was of course the
usual amount of lobbying, wireworking,
and scheming in behalf of candidates,
bnt, thin ""f than ? co
u ...
fact is, none of the prominent candidates
were blessed with a superabundance of
this world's goods, and were not pre
pared to tuse or foster any "push." It
is true, Jonathan Bourne wined and
dined and banqnetted in the most su
perb and expensive style in anticipation
of a possible fall of the senatorial plum
in his direction in the event of the fail
ure of Mr. Fulton. But he did not at
tempt to corrupt any one, nor to use in
fluences other than were legimate.
It is matter of regret that each recurring
session should feel it a duty to pass a
multitude of laws, many of which use
less and cumbersome if not worse, and
destined to stand upon the statute books
as dead matter. What the statute
wants worse than anything else is a
careful, wholesome am! systematic
pruning, and thereafter, the enactment
of such la ws only as will meet the de
velopment and the expanding indus
trial and commercial interests of the
State and the Northwest.

one state, as this would only be a stand
off with Oklahoma, which will go re
publican, while Arizona and New Mex-
would (If admitted as states) rote
the democratic ticket. It is bad policy
at time to double up those territo-
ries make one state.

The Daughters of the American Revo
lution are having a regular hair pulling
t Washington this week, over the elet-
on of a president.
President Roosevelt has signed tin
agreement which had previously !;
signed by Presidont Palma of CuU
granting the United States a coaling
station at Guantanamo.
l here is more trouble over the cur
rency question hi the Philippines. If
these islands are really American terri
tory why not give to the inhabitants our
financial systen of coinage and currency,
inun me greatest and most prosperoui
nation of the world would be standing
at its back instead of the Mongrel races
and conglomerated intorexts of the 1 hi!
ippines. If our system is good for the
United States it must also be good for
United States territories.
The Sultan of Turkey is again at his
old game of thumbing his nose to the
European powers on the Macedonian
problem. He gives every promise that
the reforms shall be made, but takes no
step to make the reforms. The powers
of Europe are acting- like a lot of cow
ardly curs in this matter the same as
thev did two or three veaop aeo when
they saw in total over 100,000 Christians
massacred by the Turkish Mobamed
aits in cold blood. The Christianity of
the Christian nations is very attenuated
and their blood runs very sluKKiidilv
through their bodies. Even the prqr
verbial Frenchman's blood never eb-
ulated when reports of massacre after
massacre had taken place.
Oregon ChBdren's home Society.
Mrs. Juliette Jones, the district super
intendent, made the Flaindeoler a pleas
ant call this morning in the interest of
the Society, and we learned that the So-
cfety receives and places in christian
homes any children neglected, abused
or abandoned by parents; boards.
clothes, and places them in good homes
far adoption w ithout the intervention
of an institution. By this home-find ing
method the large expense of keeping the
children in an Institution is avoided.
ana me lamiiv home and the child are
brought together to receive a mntual
blessing.
ine cost oi the institutional child is
from one to two hundred dollars per
year, while, by the home-finding meth
od the average cost of each child to tbe
Society is but fifty dollars, which in
eludes all expenses from the time of re
ceiving until of legal age.
By means of Local Advisory Boards
and through District Superintendents
the Society keepj in such thorough
knowledge of the child's welfare that it
ia well-nigh impossible for neglect or
abuse to occur without the Society be
ing informed. It dues not antagonke
other methods of caring for children,
out tut' is u co-orrate in every war
which may benefit the children. Th
worn is national in its extent and i
commended by all who seek the highest
welfare of the homeless child. Medal
and Diploma were awarded the Society
at the Columbian Exposition for its
most aggressive and humane methods
for the arresting of th j dangerous class
es.
Stand by this old and honored Society,
which in twenty years has received and
f laced in family homes twenty thousand
children. More than five hundred chil
iiren have been received and placed in
family homes on this upper Coat (in
eluding work done by the Washington
and I J alio branches.) The Governor of
Oregon is on our Local Board.
No state aid beinz received, the
friends of homeless children are given
the privilege of being annual contrib
utors to the work. By the payment of
one dollar each year yon become a mem
ber of the Society. Twenty-five do!
lars, which may be paid in five annual
installments, make you a life member;
fifty dollars a patron member, and one
hundred dollars a benefactor.
