' NO DEFIENCY PROBABLE. Won! comes from Wash 1 union that the dollar plan of rawing expenses for the Rrpubliran congressional campaign ha proved a failure. While it is to be regretted that this is so, it i not ditlicult to understand why it i so. Tne great majority would naturally neglect the matter, though they might regard it aa a duty, Then it is likely that moat Republicans figured that a dollar each would raise an immense fund, ao that they had just concluded that enough would be raised without their help. The result is a wholly in sufficient fund, so that the old plan of aasesning flies holders and holding up people who are in some way in terested will be resumed. The campaign methods of this country are responsible for much of the graft and rottenness in politics, Tha Dalles Chronicle, 0 DROVE A GOOD MAN TO DRINK Will it be ; MEN WILL s - WEATOER. a) e ".: f Oregon, Washington. Idaho Fair and warmer. A TILLAMOOKIAN VIEW. Portland, as evryone knows, is not in the habit of asking for much. All they want now is only $2,300,000 to complete the Columbia river bar pro ject; 1250,000 or $300,000, or more to put the bar dredge Chinook in com mis sion, which has been idle this year for the want of funds to repair and operate it. Neessary repairs to boilers will cost $30,000, and operation and maintenance will cost between $80,000 and $100,000 a year. Lieutenant Colonel Roessler, United States Engineer in charge of this district, says that $80,000 a year for operation will be a sufficient sum. Portland, it is now advocated, will bring pressure to bear on the State Legisla ture to obtain $250,000 or $300,000 for placing this antiquated freak of a re constructed transport in commission to make Portland and the Willamette riv er a "deep sea harbor." Portland has struggled everlastingly hard to make a "deep channel to the sea," and we can not help but admire their staying qua! ities. But to cap the climax of all things that Portland wants is "free pilotage" and of course, they want the state to foot this bilL If Tillamook had rail facilities and half the money expended on Tillamook bar and harbor that has been expended in trying to TnfllrA PnrflflTut a Man im tiarhnr9 every shipper on the coast would sit np and take notice. If you lay a ruler on you map you will see that Tillamook - bay lies about sixty miles due west from Portland. Some day, in the not far distant future, Tillamook will be a competitor for the shipments to and from the Far East. Portland won't help us, so we will have to help ourselves. We don't see how Portland can expect state aid at the hands of the Legisla ture when it is not in the habit of assisting that they expect assistance from. Portland don't want much now and never has. Tillamook Herald. ' 0 WOULDN'T TAKE THE RISK. Apropos of the simplified spelling movement, a New York correspondent itlls of a large mercantile establish ment in that city whose progressive head accepted his advertising manager's suggestion to have the firm's advertise ment printed in phonetic style. The -j du!j in that manner and a page proof was submitted to the great merchant. The hard-headed man of business puzzled out the several descriptions of his wares set forth on the half-shell plan, and then he sent for his advertisement writer. To that lover of sensations he said that the thing was too much for him, and he was sure it would be too much for his customers. If he himself could not understand it, precious few shop pers would be able to tell what he was driving at. Besides the new-fangled words would give some Smart Alec an "opportunity to start a laugh at his expense by saying that the bad spell ing was "the old man's personal copy which had been followed literally. As the merchant is rather ft scholarly man he did not want any doubt of his abil ity to spell tne English language cor rectly to get abroad in the commun ity. Hence his advertisements will stick to the safe and sane text. The Btory undoubtedly illustrates the 'feeling of a great majority of per sons who write for publication. They A few Sundays ago a farmer drove over to the county attorney's bonis and demanded the arrest of - a neighbor' threshing crew that was "violating the Sabbath." The count v attorney was busy pulling weeds in his garden and suggested that the complainant go before the justice of the peace in his own townsnip, but no was lniormea that the justice was out fixing his windmill. He was then asked to tele phone the sheriff and have him attend to he matter but he was busy loading cattle at the stockyards. The farmer was exasperated and resolved to saddle a horse and go for the constable, but his good wife, who was busy canning fruit informed him that the boys had driven the horses to the village, where the boys were in the lineup for a ball game, ana tnat the gins Bad gone to picnic. The farmer has been drunk on hard cider ever since and stoutly refuses to be sobered. Ex. JUDGES TO TURN CHAUFFEURS. Another) cause for the scarcity of chauffeurs is the inhumanity of judges. Judges who have been leading honest and upright lives heretofore are now placing in jail many of our beet chauf feurs, thus compelling us to shift for ourselves or creep along 6n the low gear. We have a good many . more iudees than we need, but not enough chauffeurs. Therefore, be it resolved, that our judges be compelled to take np the trade of ohauffeuring. Our jails will get a much-needed rest and we will be spared the mortification of soiled hands and the undertakers' trust will prosper. Ex. 0 ' THE OSTENTATIOUS MILLIONAIRE. The great wealth in question being an essentially new phenomenon, its Amer ican possessors have no inherited cul ture and no inherited positions to guide them in their personal expenditure of it It tends to produce a class which is held together internally by nothing but emulous extravagance in insane and self-satisfying indulgence, and which asserts its supremacy in the eyes of the general public merely by mak ing this insane self -indulgence osten tatious. Ex. Decrease In Marriage Among American Men By tttv. MADISON C. PETER or Nsw York HAT there ia on alarming doorcase in marriage among Amori can iwn is a fact which lias Wit again and again corrobo rated hy trustworthy statistics and commented upon bj students of sociology. Why do not men marry ! so that in the future COMPARATIVELY' FEW MAURY f , Independent careers aro becoming mora and more impossible to the young men in our land. Salaries even in good positions aro low from $12 to $25 a week. How can our hundreds of thousands ef clerks in offices and stores support a wife on presont day salaries;? QEXERAL AVERAGES AS TO WAGES ARE fR ACTIO ALLY WORTHLESS. Tako an average first class establishment in which the general manager receives $10,000 a year, his assistant $5,000, ths managers of five departments $2,000, aix clerks an average of $12 week, seventy-five laborers with an average of $1 a day. This would make an averago of about $6 a day for the eighty-eight employees of that store or factorv, BUT SEVEN GET NEARLY HALF OF THE SUM TOTAL So that a mere statement of the average utterly conceals the true facts. In almost every trade a few workmen receive very high wages, and so American averages of wages conceal tho real wages, often very low, paid to a largo share of our workers. According to tho census 11 per cent of tho male workers over sixteen years of age in the New England cotton mills receivo less than $300 a year, 00 per cent of the workers in tho anthracite coal regions do not receivo $450 a year, and the mass of unskilled workers in tho north receivo loss than $ 100 a year and in tho south less than $300. In comparing wages in different couutrics this is a simple fact which is continually forgotten. Marriage w being effectually discour aged by the constantly and greatly INCREASING COST OF LIV ING both in town and countrv. Parents without fortunes support their daughters to luxury, and girls expect to bo thus cared for after marriage. IT COSTS MORE TO SUSTAIN SUCH A GIRL THAN THE AVER.
