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,

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

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.

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.

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

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

students of sociology. Why do not men marry !

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.
