what Editor Fiske furnishes weekly or the radical in
novation of last week, but we venture the guess that
they prefer the former. The trouble with the av
erage inexperienced person who enters the publishing
business for even one week is that he believes a news
paper or magazine is a matter of ideals and that there
is a hungry world eager to buy what he chooses to offer,
whereas it is a very different matter and the publisher,
like every other merchant who has anything to sell, is
constantly seeking to learn what his readers want, and
that is what he furnishes.— Hillsboro Independent.

CLE&N-UP DAY.
For years the Itemizer has been trying to instill
enough local pride into the minds of each and every
resident of our beautiful little city to get them to keep
their premises in as neat a shape as means and time
will permit, and has long advocated a general clean-up
day for each year. This year finds such a move con-
sumated, and it is now to be found out how much good
will come of it, and if the lesson learned will be of last
ing benefit. Most any of us have a few hours at our
disposal during the day or week, and there is hardly
an excuse for the accumulation of debris, uncut grass
and ether unsightly and untidy things that will fce
found on some premises. Looks is not the only thing
to be considered either, as with the closeness with which
residences are now building within our city limits, the
piles of refuse, cess-pools, etc., became a serious men
ace to the public health, which should be taken into
consideration by every householder, and all should do
their individual part to see that sickness in our midst is
given no cause for existence. While it is true that Dal
las is noted as one of the healthiest towns in the valley,
it is also true that it would not take long or much dirt,
offal, etc., to start within our midst an epidemic that
might prove very disastrous. As citizens having the
well-being of all in mind at all times, it is our duty
to continually guard against the likelihood of such a
happening, and for such a reason, primarily, a clean-up
day has been named, in order that all may work to
gether intelligently to prevent the possibility of such a
happening, and at the same time make our homes scenes
of beauty and pleasure, rather than just a stopping
place where we get our meals and get our night’s
rest. That a cleanup-day will tend to awaken local
pride in the matter we sincerely hope. It has been
found to work good results in other towns, and there is
no reason why it should not also do the same here.
There are no more loyal people to their home town than,
the citizens of Dallas. Now is the time and opportuni
ty to further show it. and we wot not but what next
Saturday will see a much different town a thing of
beauty to everyone who walks our streets, and a source
of pride to each one of its loyal inhabitants.
The Itemizer was the first paper in the state of Or
egon, and we rather expect in the United States, to
nominate Woodrow Wilson as the head of the next dem
ocratic ticket. We have never regretted doing so, the
more he comes into the limelight going conclusively to
show that he is one of the best qualified men in our
country for the position. He is a good square man in
every sense of the words, and has the brains to cope
with his opponents and carry out any policies upon
which he may determine. We now wish to offer a run
ning mate for him, such being no less a personage than
Hon. Champ Clark. Clark’s record is before the public
as an open book, and is one of which any man might be
proud. Combining the divergent interests of the east
and west, as such a ticket would, it becomes all right in
geographical measure, and two better men for the posi
tions cannot be found. How does it look:
For President,
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey.
For Vice president,
Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri.
Editor Fiske, of the Dallas Itemizer, turned his paper
over to the ministers last week while he took a well
earned vacation, and the net result was one column of
local news, a three column clipping of an address de
livered by Presidenr Roosevelt last spring, and editorial
and clippings mostly on religious topics. It might be
interesting if the experiment were continued longer in
order to find out whether readers of the Itemizer prefer
We have been developing the President
Mine for two years, and now have ore
enough in sight to justify the erection
of the first unit of our reduction works»
The business man of foresight does not take unnec
essary chances. It would undermine his stability in
business and would imperil his credit. He could not
afford to take chances for such chances alone. He
must show to others that he takes all possible precau
tions against the uncertainties of the future and, in like
manner, he must give evidence that his methods are
discreet and that his central purpose is both present
safely and the making of provision against future un
certainties.
P atronite One A nother for the Upbuildino of Town and C ounty.
We all admire the steadfast person —the one who is
loyal to his friends in the hour of trial. It is he who is
their real bulwark of defense. Upon him they rely. They
look to him for that encouragment and support which
we all profess, but which so few of us practice in the
ordinary affairs of life. In like manner, we place but
little reliance upon the fickle, wavering or inconsistant
friend. He lacks that unswerving purpose which is
the real test of u all. He has been termed the fair
weather friend. When the skies are clear, he is loud
in his protestations of devotion and loyalty. When
clouds arise, he becomes timid and eventually classes
himself among either avowed enemies or those uncer
tain friends who are even more dangerous than open
enemies. Even a steadfast opponent possesses virtues
which those against whom he is arrayed cannot but ad
mire. History abounds in illustrations of the unwisdom
of disloyalty and disunion. The wrecks and failures
which litter the shores of time may be attributed, in a
large degree, to these. The rise and fall of govern
ments, the world’s wars, the suffering and want which
at times have stalked abroad as a pestilence all of
these may be traced to disloyalty or cowardice on the
part of some. Were the people of this world to have
full confidence in each other were they to remain
steadfast to each other, it would in a brief span of time
become a veritable paradise.
T out diantiE to Imresl
We need just the price of 2,500 shares at 25 cents
each to defray this expense.
Afterwards the property will pay good dividends
and grow in reduction capacity from its own out
put as fast as we can reasonably desire.
We will work the mine in a conservative way and
depend for results upon the gold which we get out
of the ore.
The ore is free-milling and assays as high as
$52.46 and as low as $15.00 per ton, either of
which is a good working value.
We have 200 tons of this kind of ore on the dump
and enough more in sight to keep a large plant
busy for years.
There will be no tunnels to dig nor any other pre
liminaries—we will just put the mill on the prop
erty and begin producing gold this summer.
There could not be an investment th at will yield
quicker, larger, nor, as we think, surer returns
for the money.
The report of the U. S. Geological Survey, and the
opinion of some of the most eminent experts and
geologists give this District a high place as to its
possibilities of gold production and neighboring
mines have yielded great quantities of gold.
The Itemizer will furnish booklets upon request
and you can send in your applications for stock
through the same medium.
Various versions of Woodrow Wilson’s expression of
contempt for logic in a speech at Portland having flut
tered through the newspapers of the country, we are
glad to get from C. E. S. Wood in the Pacific Monthly
what is doubtless the literal version. Some one in the
audience had interrupted Governor Wilson’s six Port
land speeches at a point where he said he had not yet
been able to see the advantage of the recall for judges.
“ You are illogical!’’ the auditor shouted; and Governor
Wilson made this instant retort: “ Yes, I am. When
ever I am illogical I am pretty sure that I am right for
in the complexities of human life the logical man gen
erally is bumping against human nature.” Paradoxical
as it may seem, this is true. Bu.t the reason is that
“ the logical man” who “ is generally bumping against
human nature” is not logical; or, if logical, his logic
proceeds from false or imperfect premises.
In the time of Jefferson a movement for federal high
ways was begun. In a sort of misty way we recall the
old national roads which had so much to do with our
development a century ago. Millions of dollars were
thus expended until the time of Jackson, when a reac
tion set in. The federal government was shorn of
much of its power and, in like manner, of much of its
responsibility. Such matters as highways, waterways,
and the like, were regarded as local issues. Their so
lution was left with those directly affected and, as a
result, we have but little to commend our system as re
gares uniformity or efficiency in the way of creating
and sustaining those arteries of inter-communition
which should connect us with others and, in harmony
with the laws of progression, with the whole country
of which we are constituent parts.
