NOT TWO i CODES.
Are there two codes of ethics
which a man may follow one
for the guidance of his private
life and another and differing
one for the direction of his civic
life? ' ' .
It is plain that not a few men
think, or at least would have
their fellows think, there are two
such codes. There are men who
are just, honorable and upright
in private life; they are kind
affectionate husbands, wisely in
dulgent fathers, courteous, oblig
ing neighbors and, so far as
their most intimate friends know.
they are earnestly striving to
order their lives according to the
requirements of the decalogue.
This is their private life. It is
without stain, above reproach
and altogether most exemplary.
Follow them out into their
wider life Where, through busi
ness or official relations they
must assume and perform the
duties they owe to the commun
ity, to the state, and they appear
to be governed by a wholly dif
erent code of ethics. Deception,
selfishness, avarice and double
dealing are practiced Jy them
and speciously excused or denied
under the plea that they are
simply and rightfully looking
after their own' interests and
must practice those "little busi
ness tricks," innocent, harmless
devices practiced by all, if they
would be sucessful.
In official relations we may see
men whose private life is blame
less themselves guilty of, or
having guilty knowledge of ex-
travagencc, bribery, "graft"
"rake-off"' and- embezzlement
by others. Discovery ultimately
comes. Friends and families arei
humilated and disgraced, and we
.charitably say: "Another, good
man gone wrong."
What offers an adequate ex
planation of this? Not that the
man is a weakling who would
not resist temptations presented
by opportunities for wrong-doing;
not that he is a hypocrite, a
fraud, a sham. His whole
private life, running through
. many years it may be, precludes
siifh an PYnlnnr.jirinn Tr ia fr,nnA
in the view that he has persuad
ed himself to believe there are
two codes of ethics, one of which
is designed for his private life,
the other for his civic life. We
can find no other charitable and
sufficient explanation. Weak
lings and hypocrites abound, but
these are quickly recognized by
their fellow men and denied op
portunity for great wrong doing.
It is the strong man who wins trie
confidence of his fellows snd
strong men often labor under
strong delusions, and there is
.no more plausible and seductive
delusion than this.
It is false. There is but one
"code of ethics; there can be
but one, and it is intended to
eruide men in all the relations of
life. Truth, fidelity, integrity,
justice, right and righteousness
must dominate the civic as well
as the domestic and private life
of men. Their obligations to God
and men require this. No man
should delude himself. Humi
liation, disgrace, destruction
await him who thus -deceives
himself- Public sentiment, long
dormant, is awakening; public
. morals, long and greatly debauch
ed, are rapidly forming on right
lines. Again we may hear the
voice of Eternal Truth: "It
must need be that offenses come,
but woe unto him by whom they
cometh."
SANITATION.
It would seem that of recent
years the human family has be
come prey for more and greater
variety of disease lhan in the
past. Such is not : the case.
The science of medicine is better
understood and people generally
are becoming more enlightened
in matters of diseases and. how to
avoid contracting them. - With
the progress and advancement in
medicine and surgery -there has
come to us knowledge Of how
best to avoid contracting nearly
all of the more common disease.
Sanitation is the key note of
good health and every year sees
more importance placed upon
those conditions ' and surround
ings which may effect, the health
of any - person. Municipalities
are giving more attention to mat
ters of sanitation and enforcing
their ordinances with greater
vigor than ever before. This is
the most certain means of avoid
ing epidemics of fatal diseases
and is so recognized by every
one. (Jur schools are paying
more attentionto this "matter;
and it is right that they should.
That school teachers should
wage war against disease is the
opinion of Dr. Andrew C. Smith,
of Portland. A few days ago in
the course of an address in that
city the doctor drew quite strong-
yaipon the spread of tubercu-
. V , .
osis. tie laid the matter Deiore
the teachers particularly and
said that when a child exhibited
syrcptons - of tuberculosis he
should be isolated and kept apart
from his fellows-
Expectoration was given as
one of the principal causes for
the spread of tuberculosis. He
also urged that the use of slates
in schools be entirely done away
with. Great importance was
placed upon the necessity of pre
caution in looking after the con
dition of the public drinking
place and also the state of the
water supply. Sanitation is a
20th century necessity. 1 The
masses and the individual will be
benefitted by a strict observance
of its law.
GIVE DEALERS A CHANCE.
At Home "Trading by Mail"-
Reason vs Prejudice..'
When people patronize mail
rder bouses and - boast, of 'the
"bargains" they get by so doin,
it causes one to smile, especially
hen the self-same article is on
?ale in fheir own town at the
-ame figure, if not, indeed at a
cheaper rate. Just how some
parties figure out their great gain
is such dealing is not quite clear,
because more often than not the
difference in prices locally and
abroad are very slight- Not only
.his, but the man who sends
East for his goods is not, only
inviting the ill will of home
firms who have a right to expect
bis patronage, bu' he is literally
knocking the props from under
his own town, murdering local
industries and his own locality,
aiding in strangling legitimate
business and doing "dirt" to his
fellow townsmen who are trving
to make an honest living along
honest lines of trade.
The man .who establishes a
business is adding .to the life of
that town, which in turn means
added prosperity for all who dwell
therein. He comes to make his
home there and to take his
chance with the public. . He in
vests his, money and lays in a
stock of goods at reasonable
prices, treats everyone alike, and
as a- citizen aud as a business
man is entitled to respect aqd
patronage.
The Eastern mail order houses
print flashy catalogues and send
them broadcast, to catch the eye
of the town knocker, who would
rather pay the same price in the
East, or even more, than patron
ize some local merchant aeainst
whom he has, perchance, a petty
prejudice. If the mail order house
sends an inferior class ot goods
what
are the customers to do
about it? The house has the
money,' the consumer has the
goods; freight rates are high; it
is a long, weary way to ship
goods back, and the iran at the
far end of the line has by lar the
best end of the bargain. - He can
assure yon that you ordered the
wrong number in the catalogue
or that some other mistake is
made, and yon can like it or
lump it, it is all the same to them..
Cases have come to light right
in Corvallis where parties , have
shown with" pride and boasting
articles purchased . of Eastern
1 firms at such and such prices.
only to be. completely "knocked
silly" by having the same article
offered them by a local dealer at
the same or a lower ' figure.
Many a father would ' trounce"
his - young son should the latter
trade a bran new pocket knife
sight unseen" with a neighbor
boy and get the worst of the deal;
yet . these ' self-same fathers
will play a regular sh'ell game
with the Eastern wholesale firms,'
planking down their hard earned
dollars on the strength of a
pictured article and a puff ot hot
air in a prHusely illustrated cata
logue. .:.V r
J.I taes cash to deal with East
ern j firms, and by paying cash
down and-also by buying in large
quanities, as many do in buying
from .catalogues, greater "bar
gins" could be secured from local
firms. '. .
' Let the man with horse sense
exert a little reasoning - power
along this line, and before order
ing a ssck of sugar, a half dozen
pairs of shoes or a keg of syrnp
from the East,-let him ask for
prices on the same quantity of
the same goods at home. The
chances are he will Icok like
'thirty a
his lolly
nts" when he finds out
in trading by mail.
Additional Local.
. State Railroad Commissioner Oswald
West arrived in Albany this noon bound
for Oorvallis, says Saturday's Herald.
Commissioner West came down aad mil's

The Wail of a Reporter.
I watch for local items, .
As along the street they bob, .
I tail them iu my notebook thick,
(Tis thus I hold my job.) '

And brinv weeplets drop,
tFor on the snltry streets defunct,
No local equibs outcrop. '' .' i
While evervone hath hied him hence

Unto the briny eea,
To oask beside the bounding main,
Arrayed in negligee; Y
To paddle barefoot in the wave,
Ip spite of crabs that bile 'em,
I roam the soporific streets
To catch the flitting item.
The mercury scoots up the tube,

But still must I stick by my post
And otirte the wea' her prophet. :
Yet though sach troubles vex me sore,
I could be gay despite 'e-u, -ff
only now and then I might ,
Cop the elusive item.
I burn to see the mason drop
Kerplunk from off the wall;
I yearn to have a large brick-bat -
- On some pedestrian fall;
Let some one drown, or steal, or dare
, Somebody out and fight 'em ; .
I care not what it be, just so
It furnishes an item.
O, that the winter time were here;
The summer days were o'er:
For then my notebook would grow

With local squibs ealore !

scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour It will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro

then that if this stomach-churn fs foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?.
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
