Good sense and honesty mean good Journalism. Crookedneos and venality do not. What Mr. Moore might well criti cise is the occasional subsidizing of newspapers by political aggregations or by certain business -interests. There are sheets so subsidized and if thev ver numerous they would be a serious menace.

In view of the big profits made by the state printer Secretary of State Oleott Is absolutely right in asking Mr. Duniway to move his plant out of the state "house so as to provide needed room for officials. At this time the office of the state printer is a private snap and a pro fitaMe one. The plant In use is pri vately owned by Mr. Duniway and under the circumstances he may well afford to obtain quarters outside the state house and so relieve the con gestion In that building. Further sympathy for Secretary Ol- ' cott in this fight should come be- cause of State Printer Dunlway's op position to the enactment of the flat salary bill by the legislature. Two ' years agj he opposed the passage of J such a bill by the legislature and It , was killed. This year he also oppos--v ed the measure and it would have 1 been lost naln had not Governor jVest taken a firm stand for the re- ! frm and literally forced the legls- Tin; Ji:;r.i:i:.TK imikss. Ex-Governor Miles C. Moore of Walla Wtlla. thinks the press has do generated and is nut what it was in the olden days of his youth. He is quoted as saying: "I deprecate the tendency of the press to commercialism. I would see the return to the olden days of Jour nalism, when fearless editors, such as Horace Greely, wrote without fear Of their advertisers. Harvey Scott, late editor of The Oregonian, was the last of these, great mn that they were. With his passing Is gone the last great man of the true type of edi tor. "The tendency, I fear. Is more and more towards commercialism, and this may be necessary but it Is deplor able." Too bad! Too bad: But if the honorable Mr. Moore only knew it the newspapers of this day are as upright, as fearless and a thousand times bet ter edited than they we're in the gclden age of which he has such ten der recollections. Horace Greely stood forth as a great editor partly because there were few editors of any consequence at that time. Prior to the civil war the press was of little importance as compared to the present and so it did not de velop many big men. At this time there are probably SO newspapers in the United States more ably edited than was Horace Greely'i paper. Peo ple like Mr. Moore do not realize the fact that is all. When the forest was mail one big tree was very noticeable. Now that there are many big trees they do not seem large. With all respects to the memory of Harvey W. Scott it may be said that northwest Journalism is still bowling along much as it did during his life time. The Portland Oregonian Is better edited In many ways than it was during Mr. Scott's last few years. It has lost none of its Inde pendence and has gained much in the way of balance. Nor need Mr. Moore regret the loss ol courage by the press. Taken an A whole the press Is more militant tuan ever before. There are hun dreds of writers throughout the coun try who wield their pens "for the common good" and do so fearlessly ar.J effectively. They have done more towards stopping graft and broiling and improper business prac tices than have all tin- lawyers, Judg es and j'ieeinen In the country. Publicity Is what the wrongdoer fars in .u than anything else on earth. The ld'a that advertisers nre f ir evi r seeking to corrupt n newspaper 1j iilso a mistake. Business men ad vertise for the purpos" of Increasing their sales, not so they may Influence a newspaper's policy. 1'sually they Yaw few- If any favors to ask. What they desire Is that a newspaper have a large circulation and hold the con fidence and good will of its readers. Without these it is a poor advertls- laturo to enpet a flat salary law nhich, however.

In his Minneapolis speech Gover nor Wilson declared that one of the happy circumstances of the present time lies In the fact that the better class of business men now see the mistake as well as the Immorality in corrupt alliances between business interests and politicians. Such alli ances have at times been beneficial to business Interests but they have often brought embarassment and dis grace. An instance showing the embarass ment that at 'times ensues for those who finance corrupt political deals is that of the slush fund raised to un derwrite the election of Lorimer. The facts became known and some Ch'cago businessmen have had to face expos ure and also danger of prosecution. On top of this their man Lorimer is liable yet to be unseated. It Is bad business. The O.-W. R. & N. officials have always been good boosters for the Roundup and the work thy do is effective. Perhaps Diaz is very willing to let Madero or someone else take the throne for a time. Such a monster wheat crop there will be. Don't forget the Pioneers' picnic at Weston. MAY 25 IS HISTORY. 1315 Edward Bruce Invaded Ire land with 6,000 men.

TO I,FAlt OF FrROPF-. A new sort of pilgrimage is to be Inaugurated this coming summer, a pilgrimage of social workers. who will tour Europe to learn what for eign countries are doing to Improve social conditions. They will sail from Philadelphia on July 1. aboard the stamshlp Fnes land, and are due back nt Montreal on the Hesperian by September 11. It is not yet known how many per sons will avail themselves of the op portunity of taking the trip under the leadership of Dr. Howard Woolston, professor of sociology In the college of the city of New York, but It is thlught that the number will tax the accommodations already reserved. The plan calls for consideration of the philanthropic, industrial and pen al Institutions of all the countries vis ited, including England, Belgium. Hol land, Germany, Switzerland, France and Scotland. A schedule has been worked out, so that all may see as much as pos sible In the shortest time. The only off days will be Sundays, when pll grlms will be able to do whatever they choose, if they are not traveling. However, there will be odd hours here and there to permit sufficient general sigh tseeing. Organizers of the excursion have realized that if the'r outing Is to be of maximum ed- ucatinal value it must not be con stricted to a narrow groove. So the pilgrims will be allowed to see the trails! Absolutely Pure Tho only baking powder made from Royal Crape Cream of Tartar No Alum, No Lime Phosphate Rue de la Faix, as well as the Musee Social.

Little Bertha stopped toying with the lid of her chocolate box and en deavored to concentrate her mind upon the play,' but It was a very dull affair and her mind soon came wan derlng back to the box. "Bertha, don't fidget!" repeated her mother for the second time. ' Once more she grew obedient and once more the Shakespearean pro duction failed to hold her fingeis away from the lid of the chocola'e box. ."Now. Bertha," exclaimed her ; mother, "I warn you!" Little Bertha opened her eyes wide. When her mother spoke like that fche was not to be disregarded. G'fnc n doubtfully at the dull stage and then at the tempting lid, she whispered: j "Would it be with a hairbrush, mummy, or just your hand?"
