SALOOX LICENSES.
' Whatever opinon may be held as
to the moral principle involved In the
manufacture and sale of liquor, or as
fto the propriety of permitting It to
fee sold because the appetite has been
tefined or deformed by habit, the
ffact Is plain and impressive that
fcaloon men will sooner or later find
their occupation gone, If they do not
tacasuro up to a high standard of
public liberality In tho community
tn which they do business. Coming
In contact as they constantly do with
many people, they are not wise if
they cannot understand the signs of
tho times. Indeed, they should some
times volunteer certain measures of
liberality without being forcibly re
talnded of their own proper policy
by outside and possibly hostile forces.
TThe man who has seen much of the
:world knows whether the liquor deal
ers have what is called public spirit,
and he will readily confer astonish
ment if the saloon interests of a
town is deficient in such spirit.
Marshfield has been growing. It
Is no longer a little back woods vil
lage with only tho characteristics of
a logging camp. It has many metro
politan features. Property owners
aro being compelled to bear larger
burdens. Public improvements are
toeing made and others planned and
ttfic public needs more money for its
Jnurposes. The license paid by saloon
men in Marshfield is small for a city
ot its size and when all property own
ers are being compelled to bear heav
Ser burdens, the saloons should be
S-cauy to pay a larger license. In
most states and in many Oregon
cities the licenso is one thousand
"dollars. As it is only four hundred
& this city, It could not be con
sidered a hardship If it should bo
increased. The Idea is one which
Vas proposed to tho Times by one
Of tho most prominent and respect
able, men in that lino of business in
this city and it is very probable that.
most of tho saloons will be ready to
Blvo their assent. Why not? If tho
saloons cannot bo public spirited,
"what likelihood Is thero that their
Indifference will not discredit them
arhen their day of trial arrives.
Poor Plnco For Convention.
The governor has appointed Hugh
McLain and W. P. Murphy delegates
to tho rivers and harbors convention
In Oklahoma. Ye Gods! Think of
that. A rivers and harbors con
vention in a country whoso only con
cern Is how to bridge her little
streams when they havo water In
them. What do people in that coun
try know about rivers and harbors?
Might as well hold a Panama canal
convention on the Sierra desert.
Why in tho name of common sense
are not things done in a common
sense way? Common sense jyould
suggest that rivers and harbors con
ventions bo held in close proximity
to that locality where rivers and
harbors are situated, and among peo-,
nle who have some Idea of what a
river or harbor is. Most of tho Okla
homa streams aro nothing but beds
of dry sand tho greater part of the
year, and her people know absolute
ly nothing of tho subject of rivers
and harbors, and why a convention
looking to tho betterment of the.mer
chnnt marine should be held in Okla
homa is a mystery. Wedderburn

A POLITICO-LEGAL CURIOSITY.
For ingenius absurdity which
would do justico to an island of
Saneho Panza, Section 15 of tho act
incorporating the city of Marshfleld
is a peach. It provides that nomina
tions for tho several offices (of the
city) shall bo made at a caucus and
the names chosen by a majority of
tho voters of tho caucus shall bo
printed on tho ballot and no others.
Ia other words tho majority present
svill nominate tho candidate of all
tho factions. They will decido tho
platforms of all tho parties. They
Will declaro tho same policy for all
tho different olomouts. Nobody but
that particular majority can say a
word. Thero is no minority. Tho
niajority speaks for it. It would bo
interesting to know wlint tho pur
poso may bo of going through tho
form of nn election. Tho samo gen
tlemen who speak for tho majority
also speak for tho minority. Who
over got in that particular section of
tho ualquuo Marshflold City Charter
must havo been pretty suro of his
J?ower at tho time and cortainly is
ontitled to credit for tho plan 'by
"which ho evidently oxpected to por-
oiuato It. But tho absurdity of tho
situation is ovldent. Never was a
lty, bis or little, provided with moro
coniplcto machinory for putting itsolf
under tho absoluto dominion of a
iboss. If only somebody would tell
33oss Murphy, of Now York City, and
Sic could got it into tho charter! It
tfvould enable Tammany to select a
tpcjonJnr Democrat and an unpopular
Republican ut every, election, Mur-
