Editorial Comment.
2t must be remembered that
J'adge Parker approved the New
IZark Democratic platform which
d not mention the gold stand-
Democratic .managers express
OTeatest confidence in the result
rf the coming elections. Demo
xatic hopes always blossom until
iZSEie first light frost of November.
There has developed some op
jposition to the action of the coun
tty court in granting the right-of-nvay
along the county roads of
feis countv for a company to
Sinatld an electric railway irom
iE-ugene to Corvallis. A few per
i&zus can always be found whose
raaake-up is such that it is im
.passible for them to absorb or
l&iscome in touch with the prog
iasss and development ot the
feTiresent age. In the East elec
;sac lines are constructed along
yjablic highways of all kinds,
which enables men doing busi
xaess in large cities to jump on
Ejaard an electric car at the close
off their day's city business and
ride out one hundred miles to
jdkeir homes in the country or to
atjsinaller town. These objectors
nt. the present instance are to be
oangratulated for omitting to
gcasp the progress of the this
dlay and age. It is fortunate
Cfaat the ounty court is in touch
xardth the progressive ideas of the
time in this line. The people of
2ae coanty will stand by our
oounty court in this worthy
taction, and the objectors of to
ay in a few years will heaitily
iajpprove of the action of the
court and will wonder why they
f.id not see the point correctly at
firet. For several years past
IHarion, Multnomah and othei of
tide most populous counties of the
sicate have iollowed in line with
It ke action of our county court
sead as nearly all of the older
states ia the Union have done.
Some people cannot realize the
wonderful progress : that has
s-ilteady been realized by the use
of -electrical appliancns and it is
probable that the progress in the
isaziie line in the next ten or twcn
.years will develop one hundred
ttnes as great as the present.

ose of our readers who have
Tsread the two speeches of ac
cept&nce by the presidential can
didates, cannot fail to mark the
-difference in their tone, and the
-different effects produced on the
country by the two efforts. The
.-great papers of the East are treat
ring one as a huge joke' and the
tJtber as eminently wise and pa
triotic. The New York Press
:says of Parker's:
'The American people will
isnicker at Judge Parker's putting
away his second term before he
."lias had his first. They will re
call that Mr. Grover Cleveland
Ttad the same view BEFORE he
xvas elected the first time, and
"Iftat lie broke all records in this
country not only by running
tliree times and being elected
t.wice, but by trying to run four
times and to be elected thrice.
" The speech of accept
.Tscuce begins with self-laudation
for his telegram and resignation,
is filled with a quantity ot plati
tudes, and again ends with self
Savtdition for his refusal to con
sider a second term when he is as
"fetr from a first term as any man
w;hc ever ran for President of the
United States."
Note the effect of Roosevelt's
speech on the press:
'No jnan who is competent to
pixmounce an opinion can honest
IyIeay that President Roosevelt's
speech in acceptance of his nomi
nation is eminently wise and pa
triotic. It will be recognized
everywhere by members of all
parties as a speech fit for a Presi
dent of the United States to make.
Its dignity and courtesy will
especially appeal to the Ameri
can peop'e."
What could be neater than the
following sentence: "Our oppo
nents, either openly or secretly,
according to their several tem
peraments, now ask the people
to trust their present promises in
consideration of the fact that
they intend to treat their past
promises as null and void."
Bearing in mind Judge Par
ker's famous telegram Roosevelt
said: "So long as the Republi
can party is in power the gold
standard is settled, not as a mat
ter oi political expediency, not
because of shifting conditions in
the production of gold in certain
mining centers, but in accord
ance with what we regard as the
fundamental principles of na
tional morality and wisdom." -
Probably in all their history
the Democratic managers never
tackled a harder proposition than
the present campaign. It is
creditable to their intelligence
that they have already aban
doned all hope of success.
Move The Pest House.
Renewed agitation is being
brought to bear upon the authori
ties to remove the city .pest house
from its present location to a
more desirable site. Its position
right by the side of the public
road is a menace to the health of
community and if better pre
cautions are not taken the city
will be compelled to tear the
old 2x4 shack down and build
one of larger dimensions for every
other man will be 4 'a-having of
it."
Smallpox is peculiarly a wet
weather disease and this coming
winter will very likely be a long
remembered one, unless the
strictest precautionary measures
are not at once put intcjoperation.
The house is not more than 25
feet from the public highway and
on public property at that. This
hot weather ' the doors and
windows are standing wide open
and millions of germs are carried
out and scattered broad cast with
every gust of wind that rushes
through the house. When farm
ers see that yellow flag they put
whip to their horse and sail past
there like Pegasus on the wings
of the wind. Some put cotton
in their ears and nostrils, ' others
tie up their heads, shawls any
thing to escape the dread dis
ease. Pat the pest house some
where else, over by the cemetery
up on-Marys' river, over in Xinn
county, on a shanty-boat or any
old place just so it isn't' where it
is.
