A Low Standard.
"Mr. J. M. Pittenger, of Albina,
presents the case of a good man
misled by designing politicians.
Mr. Pittenger was a 'Mitchell re
publican.' As such he had been
taught the silver free-coinage creed.
Mitchell himself was a free-coinage
man, and always has been. In his
honest simplicity Mr. Pittenger
thought he ought to vote for Bryan,
and did so. Now he is told that he
cannot be deputy district attorney."
Oregonian.
It would appear then that the
measure of a man's patriotism was
the selfish reward that he was to
get. That, although Mr. Pittenger
talked and voted as his conscience
dictated, and what to his mind was
for the best interests of his country,
it seems as if he was misled because
he cannot secure an office. We
snppose tliat-if Mr. Pittenger had
voted contrary to his earnest and
honest convictions, and as a reward
ior for such betrayal of his own
manhood he would have been ap
pointed to some office, then it
would have been all right. It is a
low plane of politics, a low political
standard that will weigh a man's
political actions and convictions bv
the selfish reward that he is the J
recipient of.

Salem has a man by the odd and
peculiar name of Smith that has
been a true and consistent member
of the M. E. church of that city for
fifty years. His semi-centennial

proper manner last Monday.

president of this work." There is
, a way to relieve a part of this
strain. Let the country be restored
to an economic condition whereby
the people can earn an honest and
decent living through the ordinary
channels of trade, commerce and
labor, and this mad scramble for
office will be to a great extent
relieved. It is not that the people
are to be blamed for this struggle
for office. It is a fact that at the
present time- about the only assured
way of getting a reasonable living
is by getting an office and drawing
the salary attached thereto. There
ure thousands of good, honest and
intelligent men who are asking the
administration for office today that
would scorn to do so were it pos
sible for them to make even half of
the salary in the ordinary channels
of like. Some of them have been
swept out of business entirely by
ruthless conditions which have
existed in late years, while others
have seen their business diminish
and grow smaller until the profits
have become lost sight of entirely.
The same is true of laborers. What
blame can be attached to them then
if if they ask for office, when they
look around them and see that of all
callings and industries office-holding
is the only one whose profits and
emoluments have not b&n dimin-
isneuwitu the hard times. Of
course there are chronic office
seekers, lots of them, that will
pester every administration, but let
the country be taken out of the
grip of the trusts and its economic
condition restored again to a fair
standing and the rush for office will
fall off nmazingly.
