' HIGH STANDARDS CAN BE REACHED.
OME TIME AGO Mr. palrymple, the municipal
.4 ownership expert called from Glasgow by Mayor.
w'thin imnoasible where grafting; existed. Abolish
- grafting and the way was paved for municipal ownership.
Speaking of Glasgowhe-said:. "How could there Jte cor
fuotlon?;! represent a worklhgman's ward, It I give
one of my constituents a cigar or a drink, I am py that
X act itself disqualified from being candidate.1 If a friend
, if mine lends me his carriage so take voters io the polls
that if alt very well, but if any friend of mine hhe a car
riage for the tame purpose, the act, even without my
S knowledge or approval, disqualifies me. There is no po
. litical corruption in Glasgow. It is not possible under the
' corrupt practice act, and public opinion wouia conacmn
; the least sign of it", ' ,; , ". . .
, '. We are still far enough away from the ideal, even the
fundamental. A study of these few quoted remarks will
" show as how far we still have to travel before we reach
; the goal, not atone of municipal ownership, but of clean
: and upright public service. Indeed we are just awak
' ening to an appreciation of the need of better municipal
government Up to the present time the average citizen
of American cities has paid little or no attention to mu
nicipal. elections unless he happened to have a strong
" partisan leaning or was personally interested in the suc
cess of a particular candidate. t But bow many men any
- where have given of their time and attention to- the pub-
,. Cc service without hope of reward other than that which
'cornea from the consciousness of duty weir performed?
.' Precious few. ';, . .. ,;. ". . . '', : ,. ,
Indeed genuine patriotism except when it was called
forth in the hour of threatened danger seems to be prac
tically dead among us. ; Nearly, everybody was absorbed
. in dollar chasing ana1 ' teemed to have no other thought
or "care. The government of our cities was left in the
' hands of the professional politicians . who grew fat In
fleecing them. There was no such thing as good govern
ment The most outrageous impositions were practiced,
the most unblushing frauds practiced and boodle 'and
'' graft flowed freely very much to the. profit of the po
uncai macmnei anq.ine advantage 01 puouc service, ana
, other corporations. But of late years there have been
- signs of an awakening. There are men who are begin
sing to devote themselves unselfishly to the public ser
vice. . One of the most notable groups in the country was
. 'that which for 10 years fought the grafters and boodlers
and won the most notable victories for the people In Chi
, cago. The tendency is now decidedly in that direction all
; over the country. In every city the standard is being
raised a little higher. We - do hot believe with' our
. esteemed contemporary the Washington Post, that the
, movement is spasmodic. In our judgment it marks a
genuine tendency in the right direction that will not only
' be, maintained but emphasized, to the lasting benefit of
, the American people and , their municipal governments,
which present the most manifest weakness of our whole
governmental scheme. " -. ' 'Vv;
t Nevertheless, although advances have been made In our
election methods, advances which are simply extraor
dinary as we contemplate them, it is still a tar cry to the
standard set in Glasgow. But the fact that it has been
attained there makes it clear that it can be done -eIsJ
where and there is no city, in the United States where the
' conditions are better adapted td reaching that standard
than Portland which we hope to see within a very few
Xars.thebest governed citjr in the whole United 6tates.

aECOND only Jn t importance to the direct results
of the land! fraud prosecutions are the sidelights
rV which they throw -on the operations of the crew
of swindlers and speculators who have been making for
tunes out of the public domain by means of perjury, for
gery, and kindred crimes. Hedged about by the strict
rulea of evidence and the jealous regard of the courts for
the rights of accused persons who are on trial, the gov
' ernment officials are able to present only a small fraction
of the evidence -which they have amassed by months of
the most rigid inquisition. Many- facts which ' if made
public would throw new light on the magnitude of the
frauds cannot be presented in the present trials because
not relevant to-the immediate case at bar or because' the
proof is not legally admissible. For these reasons there
is a' vast amount of information concerning persons now
under indictment which will never become generally
known and which will not be brought out in court

sidered, by a jury in reaching a verdict as to-the guilt-or

unjust for the public to conclude him guilty on the
' strength of it But to gain a just conception of the ex-
. tent of the frauds, all the facts must be considered and
there is a vast array of evidence which shows beyond dis
pute that Oregon has been honeycombed with dishonesty
in the acquisition of government lands. It is of the high
' est importance that this should be fully appreciated for
. then only will such practices be discontinued. Every
good citizen must desire that those implicated in the land
frauds shall meet the punishment which they.deserve, but
it is of infinitely more importance that the dishonest
practices of which they have been guilty shall summarily
cease ana mat tne laws shall be. observed 'in the future.
If this result is achieved the great expenditure of time,
. money and effort in the land fraud prosecutions will not
ne in vain.

The excuse given for Hermann's proposed candidacy
for a 'steenth term in congress is that he desires a vin
dication at the hands of the voters of his district from
the charges that have been preferred against him in tha
name' of the goernment by a federal grand jury. For
the ordinary citizen who is confronted with a charge of
Violating the law it is enough to secure a verdict of not
guilty at the hands of a jury of his peers, but it seems that
this will not suffice for the Honorable Binger Hermann.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR WORK.

Practically all of the facts which afterward led to his
repeated indictment by a federal grand jury were laid
before the voters of the district by this paper in the cam

A year later Hermann was again a candidate for con
gress. The chargea of the previous campaign were vir
tually unanswered, ine columns ox tne papers which
had supported him were closed to all free discussion of
those charges. The Oregonian, his chief supporter, i
ridiculed the accusations against Hermann arid gave him
its cordial support for renominationand reelection. . He
was again 'elected. ;.'.;.;..
Six months after his election a federal grand jury began
inquiry, into the evidence which had been laid before the
voters of his congresisonal district during two cam
paigns. The result was three indictments which were re
turned in. this judicial district followed almost immed
iately by a fourth indictment in the District of Columbia.
Binger Hermann still awaits trial under these indict
ments, in .tne eyes ot the law every man ia presumed to
be innocent until he is proven to be guilty, and therefore
it wou.ld be unjust td anticipate the verdicts of the juries
which' are to pass on the several charges against Binger j
Hermann. But while the question of his legal guilt or
innocence may still be in doubt as viewed from the stand
point of the Jaw; there can be no question that Hermann
so much in time and money and which will do what It
was intended to do, provided those who are most inter
ested win do what they should do for themselves.
WE LIVE FOR OTHERS. "
THERE ARE various. ways of enjoying-one's self,
of pleasing one's self, but there' is only one true,
. , ' right way; only one way that yields the pure gold
of sweet sleep and a good appetite and a really clear,
clean conscience; and that is by pleasing others. -
We do not live to ourselves alone. None of us can be
a Robinson Crusoe, and if we could we would wai sod
watch and look and long tor a Man Friday, and we two,
though Friday might be a negro, would wait and watch
and look and. long, for a specimen of that perfection of
divine creation a woman.
What we mean to say in particular and definitely is
this: The avaricious, grasping, greedy, selfish man, in
business, in: politics, or in the church, is a thing not to
be envied but to be despised." He is worthy, of no intel
ligent numan Detng s respect-
Live for others; It is the only true life. Help others;
you can in no other way so much help yourself. Jf you
make another person happy you cannot possibly be mis
erable.

. dry wastes, where the heat is intense. A semi-provident
creator gave the cactus hardihood, constituted it of suc
culent materials,' out left it formidable to the animal
kingdom because.of the thorn armor with which it -was
clothed. For ages Sahara and Assyrian desert children
famished in the midst of cactus. Their sweltering beasts
