Official City and County Paper.
There is many a gem in the
lug medltfht. - . .
:' No real newspaper is ever corrupt
ed by Its Advertisers largely because
the advertiser is as anzlous as the
publisher to see a newspaper stand
well with the people and they know
that If a aper Is to hold the popular
CKteeni It must do right. 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. But safety for the
public lUs in the fact that such pa
pers usually show their class, as
harlots always do, and they are their
own wor.t punishment.
path of life.
Which we pass in our idle
pleasure,
That is richer far than the
Jewelled crown.
Or the miser's hoarded treas
ure; It may be the love of a little
child.
Or a mother's prayers to
Heaven;
Or only a beggar's grateful
thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of
life
A bright and golden filling.
And to do God's will with a
steady heart
And hands that are swift and
willing.
Than to snap the delicate,
slender threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the
t.mirlt'tl en. Is.
And sit and grieve, and won- I i'nl rv;iv

FINISH THE JOB.
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

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

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.

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!
