WHY COMPLAIN?
The ordering of U. S. troops to
Goldfleld, Nevada, has called out
much unfair, and very much mis
chievous criticism.
Nevada has no organized mili
tia. If Governor Sparks beljeved,
from the most reliable informa
tion he could obtain, that life and
property were endangered by the
contentions which had arisen be
tween the mine owners and the
miners, or, indeed, from any
cause, it was his plain and imper
ative duty to prevent it.
If he controlled' no agency or
force enough powerful to pre
serve the peace and to protect the
lives and property of the citizens
of Nevada, it was his bounden
duty to call on the Federal gov
ernment for such a force. ,
When a call is lawfully made
on the President by any gover
nor of a state for a military force
to preserve the peace and support
the state in enforcing the laws
necessary for the protection of
its citizens engaged in lawful pur:
suits it is the duty of the Presi
pent to furnish such a force.
It is therefore a fair proposi
tion that the federal troops are at
Goldfleld for a lawful purpose in
response to the action of compe
tent executive authority lawfully
exercised. It eannot be other
wise. . No President haa ever
sent troops into any state in dis
regard of the laws nor for unlaw
ful purposes.
But, it is alleged, there exists
no good reason why the presence
of the troops is necessary. There
s no lawlessness existing and
none contemplated in Goldfleld.
This is asserted by the Miner's
union and by sympathizers with
the union, and it may be the
truth. If such is the case the
troops will molest no one ; but it
is difficult to reconcile this asser
tion with the anathemas evoked
by their presence. The nfortu
nate fact is organized labor is so
far discredited that its assurance
of abstinence from unlawful acts
and purposes is entitled to small
respect.
This should not be true of or
ganized any more than unorgan
ized labor. Both bodies are com
posed, for the greater part, of
honest intelligent and patriotic
citizens who have a stake in the
welfare of the country and have
"given hostages to posterity.!'
In some unaccountable manner
a different, sort of men, in the
main, have come into leadership
of the unions, and, as always the
case, the honest man shares the
suspicion and opprobrium which
should justly fall upon a few self
seeking, mischievous charlatans.
It cannot be that intelligent labor
will long continue to follow such
unworthy leadership. It will
conduct its appeals on lines of
reason, right and justice. When
it does this it will receive the
powerful support of public senti
ment now forced -to inactivity
because of vicious labor leader
ship. A GOOD CITIZ&X.
To be accounted a first-class
citizen of this country, or as Mr.
Roosevelt says "a desirable citi
zen,'' several qualifications enter
into one's make up. He must,
first of all, be loyal to this gov
ernment, in cohtra-distinction to
all past claims that birth or natu
ralization may have had upon
hirn. He must be thoroughly
American.
A dependable citizen of this
governntent must eschew all po
litical relation to any other com
monwealth of which he may have
been a part. His patriotism must
not be half hearted. To seek to
correct any fancied or real gov-
ernmental imperfection by ballot
or by free press, or by free speech
are legitimate and authorized
means for said correction. Incen
diary press or incendiary speech
are r.or. legitimate means to cor
rect real or imaginary' wrongs in
our legislative, judicial or exeeu-
.....
tive forms of governmental pol
forms of sr vernmental xhli-
cies. Obey the law, or repeal it
the authorized or provisional way.
" "An undesirable citizen" is one
who is continually and persist
ently seeking to evade the plain
letter of the statutes or connives
at its evasion. One who breaks
the law outright to subserve his
political interests, or for finan
cial gain, or for the gratification
f his appetite is not dependable
as a citizen and his sympathizers
are even worse.
In the second place, to be a de
sirable citizen one must be intel
ligent. ' He should know consid
erable of the laws of the land
which govern him. He 'should be
fairly well acquainted with the
literature and history of this
country. He should be a reader
of the transpiring events of the
day, in all the departments of
commerce, politics fnot partisan
and all the vital questions which
go to make a splendid civilization.
His moral character should be
a
above reproach. . There is no high
order of citizenship unless its base
is on unquestioned morality. The
men of renown in this country or
in any other country, were, and
are, men of the type suggested
in the foregoing. '
Any and all of these qualifica
tions are attainable to every man
and woman in this Republic. All
the entrance ways which lead to
this higher order of good citizen
ship are wide open in our schools
and religious institutions, and bid
all a hearty welcome.
It is clearly noticeable that the
drift at this time throughout the
entire country is the betterment
of conditions. The concensus of
public opinion is that "undesira
ble citizens" are not wanted in
the business affairs of every day
life. A man with all the favora
ble opportunities that surround
oim here in this country for good,
and then when he does bad,
Should not complain when he
feels the hand of the law pressing
hard upon him. A man can be
suppressed in vicious deeds by
the law for the protection of the
general public, but a man cannot
be made a good citizen per force
of law. Hence our foregoing
propositions, if it is not inate or
acquired in a man to do the right
thing voluntarily that man is not
a good citizen, and the sooner he
reforms or departs the country,
the better for the community.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.
The following is a review of
the financial conditions in New
York as viewed by a reliable
party there :
"Encouraging evidence of the
sound conditions prevailing
ing throughout .the United
States continues. Cheering signs
that the recovery will be compar
atively quick are also in evidence."
The east is becoming every day
more optimistic. The west is
feeling the force of the wave
which struck here a month ago,
but it will roll on and the rebound
will be equally prompt and reas
suring. November with teller's
windows barely open, money par
simoniously released in driblets
only, currency at a high premium
and all credit operations at a min
imum and the whole country
quaking with apprehension, has
shown few failures ; literally less
than one thousand 1,180 failures
in November with estimate of a
million and a half business estab
lishments in operation is really
only 1 in 1,200. .
The people who endeavor to ex
cuse the Real Cause and attrib
ute this unnatural, unwarranted
panic to unsound conditions and
undue extension of American bu
siness beyond existing world cap
ital will find events, when calmly
analyzed in history, against their j
theory. We should undoubtedly
have had quiet and regular reces-
sion but not smashing disaster.
The real cause was ignorant and
foolhardy founding out of confi
dence by a force outside of : all
economic conditions ; a force ap
plied without knowledge of- the
delicate structure of credit, and
i ji c t-x. cri.
iub cuwis uu uni
ness.' It is fortunate that the law
of trade ignores, except tempora
rily, such outside influences and
begins atonce to mend the super
ficial breaks, as in the case of
some seismat'c disaster. :
The evidences of mending this
week are Che dwindling of the
currency premium, the reassuring
recovery in the Bank of England
Statement, and the reflection of
coming restoration of prosperity
in the upward tendency of prices
for our splendid industrial and
railroad enterprises as . repre
sented on the stock exchange.
This is not to say that these pri
ces are not aided in their upward
progress by the covering of short
commitments, or are not buoyed
up temporarily by a far look
aheadnto the country's future.
But these are always incidents of
barometric .prognostications of
Wall Street. , They do not mean
that we shall have perpetual sun
shine showers and dark days
must alternate with bright weath
er but the bright weather is in
the way. -
The voluminous message this
week from Washington is only
important because it evidences an
effort to appreciate conditions,
accompanied, it is true, by much
reiteration of former unwise ut
terances with attempts at de
fense and appeals for legislation.
There is considerable evidence
that the latter will fall flat with
Congress, and thinking people
having already made up their
minds have not taken the large
amount of time necessary to read
them. "
The President's recommenda
tion in regard to currency legis-
tion, really the only important
subject considered, are in the
right vein as far as they urge ac
tion, but Mr. Roosevelt's unfa
miliarity with the principles in
volved have led him to the usual
error of JaskiHg for bond security
which is unsound, and high emer
gency taxation, wmcu is unnec
essary and hampers legitimate
elasticity. Fortunately, the sub
ject will receive in Congress the
most thorough deliberation and
ventilation, and we may expect
that if anything is done at all it
will be done on right lines.
The Secretary of "the Treasury
in his message issued Thursday,
also takes up the currency ques
tion, bat wisely refraius from any
recommendation as to methods to
be adopted.
Tne currency question is en
gaging the attention of our best
people and last week at the Amer
ican Academy of Political and So
cial Science many of the bankers
speaking favored a Central Bank.
This solution of the ' question is
undoubtedly the best for this
country, and advocacy of it should
be persisted in, even if it takes
one or two more panics to bring
it abont. ,
It will be seen from the above
that it is usual for the NewYork
man to object to President Roose
velt's public utterances which is
unnecessary. It is also the pre
vailing opinion with themtofavoV
a Central Bank of Issue. To es
tablish a Central Bank of Issue is
a plausible theory, but as has been
heretofore stated in this paper a
Central Bank would eertainly be
located in New York affording a
favorable opportunity for the
stock gambling financiers of that.
locality to corner the output of
the "Central Bank" of Issue and
and deprive the rest of the coun
try of its purposes.

A well meaning citizen is a book to
the newspaper reporter and it is a notable
fact that many good items are lost to a
newspaper every issue by the -nodesty of
people who hestitate to tell the editor af
matters concerning themselves. The
right way to do is to courteously stop the
newspaper man on the street, or any
place that you happen to meet him, and
tell him you have entertained friends,
have been on a visit, or anything that is
a matter of news. If you have-done any
thing mean or wrong, keep it to yourself
for he already knows that. There are
others who make it their business to tell
him all those things. Town Talk.

An authority on farming recently said
that farmers who would maintain and
increase the fertility of their land must
either engage' in dairying or keep sheep,
This hits Willamette Valley conditions
remarkably well. Those farmers who do
not make dairying a prominent part of
their business and who raise grain or
clover seed for sale can make most profit
able use of sheep. A short time ago a
prosperous farmer in Yamhill county
said that for twelve for fifteen years be
had been relying mainly on clover seed,
wool and sheep. He keeps sheep enough
to consume nearly everything grown on
the farm, and his land has been steadily
growing more productive. This vear bis
oats yielded eighty bushels to the acre.

The Best People in Corvallis, Say
Graham & Wells Guaranteed
in Catarrhal Troubles. -
No other remedy or treatment for
eatarrh bas ever been as popular or made
so many remarkable cares in Corvallis
as Byomei.
Tbe best people attest its curative Vir
tues, say Graham s Weils, who are tbe
local agents. - The fair way in which
Hyomei was sold, to , refund the money
unless it gave satisfaction, was tbe best
proof when it was introduced tnat it pos
sessed unusual curative powers. Graham
& Wells took all the risk of the treatment
giving satisfaction, and left it to the pur
chaser to be -the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well-known physi
cians and basiness men and their wiv ;s
as a treatment that absolutely cared
caiarrh. no- matter how serious or long
standing, the sales rawidly grew, and to
day there is no other remedy in Graham
& Wells' stock that bas such a large and
stapele sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's healing
air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei today on Graham & Wells'
offer to refund the money if the treatment
does not give you satisfaction.
