Montavilla has a few enterpris­ ing men who remind one of the bulldog - they never let go. Their enterprise and persistency is aln»ut to be rewarded in the opening of a boulevard through the Ladd tract to the villa, and possibly to Fairview. We are glad to see it.

Oregon E O I TO RIAE EXAGGERATED REPORTS. “From yellow journalism, good Lord deliver us.” would be an appropriate prayer in these days. The horrible affair in At­ lanta a few weeks ago was due very largely to glaring headlines in Southern papers exaggerat­ ing real evils, and the reports received in the North concerning Atlanta were grossly exaggerat­ ed. William R. Hearst, said to be worth $400,000,000 (probably a big estimate), is the leader in this thing. With his string of “Americans” in nearly all the large cities, he appeals to the baser natures of the people, and is doing all in his power to sep­ arate class from class, and at the same time advance his own ambitions. A few days ago an item with scare headlines an­ nounced race riots in the town of Seneca. South Carolina: “A Negro college dynamited.” “the town destroyed by fire,” “race riots,” and “the state called up­ on for aid.” Having a nephew, pastor of the Baptist church in the tow'n, I wrote in deep anxiety, in reply I learned that there had been an unsuccessful attempt to dynamite a small Negro school, and that it was in all probability the work of rival Negroes: that there had been quite a serious fire for a small town, but by no means a destruction of the place; that the fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary, and that there wa3 no riot or sem­ blance of one. In short it was just such an event as might oc­ cur in any town with no ques­ tion of race involved. Truly our Southern friends deserve our sympathy.—A. B. in Pacific Bap­ tist. A BETTER AMERICAN CITIZEN. A young man who came to this country young enough to get the benefit of our public schools, and who then took a course in Columbia University, writes: “Now, at twenty-one, I am a free American, with only one strong desire; and that is to do something for my fellow-men, so that when my time comes to leave the world, I may leave it a bit the better. ” These are the words of a Russian Jew; and that Russian is a better Amer­ ican, that Jew is a better Chris­ tian. than many a descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers. In this country every man is an Amer­ ican who has American spirit, American conceptions of life, American habits. A man is foreign not because he was born in a foreign land, but because he clings to foreign customs and ideas. I do not fear foreigners half so much as I fear Americans who impose on them and brutal­ ly abuse them. Such Americans are the most dangerous enemies to our institutions, utterly for­ eign in their true spirit. Such Americans are the real foreign­ ers.—From the Introduction to “Aliens or Americans?” THE OOSPEL OF HEALTH. Nature is always and forever trying hard to keep people well, and most so-called “disease” — which word means merely the lack of ease-is self-limiting and tends to cure itself. If you have appetite, do not eat too much. Be moderate in the use of every­ thing. except fresh air and sun­ shine. The one theme of ecclesiastes is moderation. Buddha wrote it down that the greatest word in any language was equanimity. William Morris said the finest blessing of life was systematic, useful work. St. Paul declared the greatest thing in the world was love. Moderation, equanim­ ity, work, love—let these be your physicians, and you will need no other.—Selected. VOTERS SHOULD PICK GOOD MEN Gresham is just at the time when the town council can either facilitate or retard her progress as a trading, education­ al and social center. Hence the voters of Gresham should use the greatest precaution in select­ ing the men who are to guide and protect her future municipal interests. The town needs men who will in every way possible work for the upbuilding of Gresham, who will, in so far as lies in their power, encourage every legiti­ mate business enterprise, ever keeping in mind the fact that pay rolls, be they ever so small, add to the city’s strength. Broad-minded, liberal, progres­ sive men. who have the interests of the town at heart, and who are not afraid to do right for fear of hurting their own busi­ ness. are the men that should be sought for, nominated and elect­ ed. Our readers will notice quota­ tions from the School and Home, Oregon’s baby monthly. The School and Home is published at Portland by the School and Home Publishing Company. The editorial management will be under the control of the Club. Timothy Brownhill of Gresham, Ore., will have charge of the business management. The pa­ per will be issued monthly. It is started primarily to serve the needs of the schools and homes of Multnomah County. It will work earnestly for better schools, brighter homes and happier boys and girls. If its message proves helpful to the schools and homes of this county, the management will be gratified. If its message finds a listening ear and an ap­ preciative word in other counties, the Teachers Progress Club will have accomplished some good in a larger field. We acknowledge receipt of an invitation to attend the meeting of the executive board (of which the writer is a member) of the National Editorial Association at St. Louis, Mo., December 4th.
